WHAT FARMS ARE WORTH.

Between 1906 and 1907 the value OF
farm property in the United States
increased from S20, 400, 200. 900 to
S2S, OO0. 900. 900. a gain of $780, O0.-
900. The total capital of the national
banks of the United States is $685.
100000, or only one-ninth as much as
the actual increase made in farm
wealth in seven years. Moreover,
this increase of farm values in seven
years is. equal to about 6 pc cent
of the capitalization of all the rail
roads of the United States built up
during the last rs years. WHAT the
farmers have done in seven years,
which is really the most striking fact
in American business history. is typ
ical of the amazing progress and pros
perity of the whole country of late
years, though il no other lines of de-
velopment mas the advance been quite
so wonderful as that of the farmers.

FREE STORAGE.-NOTICE
To WOOL GROWER,

AS shearing time approaches we
call your attention to our ~unexcelled
warehouse facilities for wool storage
as well as our experience in h buy.
ing and handling of woods.
Our Mr.. Baker, who has been assor
ciated with this company for five
years and actively engaged in hand
ling wool, will have exclusive con
troll of the taking in, weighing and
putting out of wool.
Our INSURANCE rate is an item
to consider; being a rate of $3.50 per
hundred, full value, as against a rate
of 1925 granted all other ware
houses.
On this basis the SAVING to a
grower who stores with us $4,000
worth of wool is $4,000 per month.
We call attention to our BRICK

common knowledge that wool stored
in a brick building will not dry out
to the extent that wool stored in an
iron building does.
Our warehouse is PUBLIC and open
to all.
Through the Pecos Valley Railroad
we offer FREE STORAGE on your
wool; this includes all charges for
taking In. weighing, marking and
loading out.
We are not BUYING wool, nor int

ILLINOIS FARMERS UNION
IN SPECIAL CONVENTION.

Marion, ILL.,, March 27.-At a spec
ial meeting here today of the Farmers
Union, an organization with 10000
members in Illinois, Indiana and east
ern Missouri, a merger was complet-
ed with the Farmers Education and
Cooperative union and a state branch
of that body was formed, which will
have charge of the work in Indiana
and Illinois.
The farmers union movement il IL
lionis began eight years Ago., when fiji
ty farmers met in Murphysboro and Or
ganized the Farmers Social n Eco
nomic union. A union label was adop
ted to be used on all farm products.
The organization rapidly spread over
Illinois, eastern Missouri and western
Indiana. Later two other similar or
s~anizatio1s, known as the Farmes'
Relief Association and the Farmers
Mutual Benefit association, entered
the field and a year ago at ~Pinckney-
vile the three bodies were merged
under the name of the Farmers union
A few months ago it was decided to
merge with the Farmers Education
al and Cooperative union of Amer
lea, and the consolidation was finally
effected today. The Farmers Union,
of which the Illinois and Indiana far
mers are now a part, has a member
ship of over a million in the southern
states and is rapidly being extended
throughout the western states, having
already established itself in Kansas,
Colorado and Nebraska. 1t is organic
ed to a considerable extent along
trade union lines and c~o-operateS as
far as possible with other labor unions

Mr.. MULLENS ON
HIS MINORITY REPORT.

Inasmuch as the Record also pub
lished the original statement made
in the Journal, we reproduce a letter
from Mr.. Mullens to that pape as
follows:
1.-The Editor Of the Morning Journal.
Sir: Please correct the mis-state-
ment in this mornings Journal in
which 1 am quoted as saying that
Mr.. E. c. Abbott came to my DON
to secure my signature to the MAORI
ty report of the famous committee of
inquisition. What l did say, and wish
to be quoted as saying, is hat Mr..
Abbott came to my room at my in
vitatiol q being ILL, and there took
from my dictation my minority eXcep-
lions to the majority report. and |
signed the said minority exceptions
report.
when 1 signed the majority report
it was with the distinct understand
ing that it vas subject to exceptions
to be embodied in my minority re-
port My report was not presented,
and when later on 1 attempted to
have it read, was ruled lou of or
der" The suppression of my minority
report was a gross injustice TO me
and placed me in a false light. as is
known by every member of the
house; but I cannot be a party to any
Misrepresentation or miSquotatiOn
that reflects Upon the integrity of
any one. Your article in this respect
does both Mr.. Abbott N myself an
Injustice. and 1 will ask that you
give this correction the same publici-
ty that was given to the other article.
Very respectfully.

Taft is Now the Favorite.

the dope artists now thronging Wash

tries in the ace for the Republican

President Roosevelt's implied com
mendation of the secretary of wal
has made the obese cabinet member
a decided favorite and unless some
thing unforeseen arises to mar his
popularity it is likely that he will re
tain that position.
So far as the Democratic rae is
concerned, it is likely that any book
maker familiar with the political form
sheet would offer anything like ev.
en- odds on Bryan against the field.
