COOPERATIVE AGENCY

Cotton spinners stand ready to take
the cotton direct from the grower, thus
saving the middle mans profit. A ware
house system aud the establishment OF
selling agencies i'll Europe and America
are needed to carry out the plan. Cali
forna orange and lemon growers mar
1et their crop through a cooperative
agency. Why can not Southern cotton
growers do likewise? It would mean a
big additional proht.-Webster Signal
The cotton growers Of the South are
gradually becoming self-assertive. For
years they were held in check by debt.
As they become emancipatcd through a
diversified system of agricultural indus
try they are reaping the profit of labor.
To be independent the farmer must keep
out of debt aud raise and grow all he
can at home-then grow as much cotton
as he can cultivate. which should be his
profit.

Smashing Jews In Russia.

Russia's war with Japan undOubted-
~ saved the lives of many Jewish sub.
5ects of the car. At least, this is an
inference from the memoirs recently
published of the governor who was ap-
pointed apparently to give the Jews a
fair deal after the Kishenev massacre
in 1908. ten months before the .Iaps
gave all the Russian nation something
to think of besides Jews. The author
of the memoirs cited, Prince Urussof

ranged himself with the Constitutional
Democrats. so we may take him for a
witness of candor. with no apologies to
offer for the government He was sent
to Kishenev by the notorious rlehve.
who. he says, never forgave him for
letting the Jews triumph.
Just why Plehve put Prince Urussof
OH the job if he wanted the Jews kept
under is mystery. The governor of
the province whom the prince succeed
ed had been just the kind of man to
encourage outrages, selfish, ease low
ing general, who left the business all
to his vice governor. This latter Off
cial welcomed Prince Urussof to Kish-
enev with the remark that the Jews
were pest to be eXterminated' One
of the first acts of the new governor
was to permit 10000 Jews to assem-
bic in one day. He arranged to keep
their enemies in ignorance until the
crowd had dispersed, and after that
the Jews swore by the prince as the
good governor
Prince Urussof investigated the mas
sacres of April Z to and concluded
that the Jew haters had been indirectly
encouraged by the government. There
was a legend that three days of mas
sacre were allowed by the cars order
and that the mob merely executed his
will by Staying Jews. The prince in
sists that the policy of the government
was such as to foster race distrust and
race hatred. Direct Indictment of VIC
lence or official sanction of race perse-
cution by the ministry there was none.

trouble was a local one all the more

ADpIE JOSS.

not seem to remember that he was
the schoolteacher who once said:
Spare the rod and spoil the child is q
misnomer. Use swift pitching when
delivering the verbal inshoots and the
pupil will stand up to the plate of
repentance and eat his fill"
Joss used the best language in his
native town, Juneau, Wis, in an essay
one day on Longfellow's poem: but.
being a Badger, he tritely substituted
pine tree for spreading chestnut
and some member of the school board
had the essay framed and sent to Mad
ison to be hung in the state capitol.
1t was i'll 1903 that joss began his
career as slab artist for the I.aioie
crew. and he soon developed into q,
premier twirler. So formidable was
the big fellow in that season that he
earned twenty-one victories and got
only nine defeats. Now that he has
added four years to his age and expe-
rience and has been able to hold down
his opponents this year to i; low mum
Der of hits Manager Laioie is talking

Like MANY another ball PLAYER in
fast company, .Addie has his term in
college to thank for much of his de-
velopment in ball playing. Sacred
Heart college team of Watertown,
Wis. had the benefit of Joss pitching
for some time.
Joss taught the Young idea how to
shoot, Instructed some of his pupils i'll
dyllamics and chemistry and then lis
tened to call TO the Sheboygan club
From the latter organization he Went
to the Toledo club in 1900 and for twt
seasons WAS one of the big fellows OF

farmed out to small clubs for a par
of the time.

Kidnapped by cyclone eighteen
years ago to discover himself only

strange story of lost Charlie" Ross
ont of commission.
BENEFITS parents lived in Harrison
county, Mo. Old settlers there we'll re-
member that fatal cyclone which swept
over the county eighteen years ago. 1t
left ruin and disaster in its wake But
in the little home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Isaac Bennett it left uncomfortable
grief.
When the storm struck the Bennett
cottage it literally tore the house to
flinders. The father and mother were
separated. And the baby boy was
picked up by the storm cloud and car
r1ed bodily mile after mile Then the
little chap was let down in the back
yard of I. w. Hudson, a farmer, who
was getting ready to move to Louisi-
ana.
Hudson took the youngster with him
to Louisiana. There he reared him as
his own. And it was not until the sup
posed father and son quarreled recent
ly that Hudson told Bennett the re-
markable story of his life. Bennett set
forth to find himself At little town
in Harrison county he discovered a
clew to his parents. There an old set
tier named Hank Barnes told him the
story. He discovered soon after a Sis

son as dead. is in California. and thith-

A Government shop Job.

Although no proof was needed that
just as speedy and able vessels of war
can be constructed in our government
yards as by private bidders, such proof
is afforded by the performance of the
battleship Connecticut, which in her
trial trip maintained AN average of
1878 knots AN hour.
The Connecticut was built in the
Brooklyn navy yard, and the least that
can be said of her is that she is in
every respect the equal of the Louisi-
ana, sister ship built in private
yard, which on her trial trip showed a
speed of 1852 knots
For all practical purposes the new
vessels are no doubt equal in every
essential respect, though experts have
noted that the finish of the Connecticut
is finer and superior to that of the
Louisiana. But no better evidence of
the fact that government yards can do
quite as good work us tie private ones
can be cited than the comments of
Rear Admiral Evans, who said:
The trial of the Connecticut was sue
cessfu in every respect considering the
coal used. The speed was phenomenal,
engines ran smoothly without tendency 10
heat, and the absence of vibration and
the steadiness of the ship We're remarked
upon by all OF all the speed trials
have Witnessed that of the Connecticut
has been the most successful and salts
factory She has reliable sea speed of
eighteen knots. The speed made on her
four hours trial averaged 1873 knots
for the four hours, and She ran at the
| rate of 1901 knots for one-quarter of an
hour The third hour of the run was the
most successful.
This and the achievement it chroni-
cles remove at least one of the pro
fessed objections of some congressman
to the building of warships in govern
| ment yards.
