him because he cheated me-" A day

ing, his employer had said: I'm a
Yorkshire man. and I'll be hanged II

Indian Names.

Indian names are nearly always CIV
N on account of some act of the child's.
If a boy, for instance, sees a bear and
runs to the lodge, he Is likely to be
called what, in their language, means
"Runs-from-a-bear," and he retains this
name until some other notable act OF
his changes It. If, for example, he
should kill a bear. he would no longer
be called "Runs-frOm-a-bear," but
''Kills-a-bear." These names, given. on
account Of personal acts or personal
traits, seem very strange when trans
lated into English, but they are quite
natural In the original

Flour Preserved by Compression.

In England much interest has been
shown Of late by the army and navy
authorities in new method Of preserv-
ing flour by means of compression.
With hydraulic pressure apparatus the
-four is squeezed into the form Of
bricks, and experiments are reported to
have shown that the pressure destroys
all forms of larval life, thus preserving
the -four from the ravages Of insects,
while it is equally secure from mold.
Three hundred pounds of compressed
flour occupy the same space as 100
pounds of -four in the ordinary state

There is great deal of silly twad- dle going the rounds of the press about this age of commercialism," and this being a day of greed for dollars. This is all arrant rot and the ignorance of the writers, if they could only read a little of the worlds his tory, would make them blush. There was never a time in the worlds his tory when there was so much dis interested charity and good fellowship and so many helping hands extended to the needy as today. There was never a period in all the history of mankind when there was not some men trying to own all the face of the earth. It has always been this way, and will so continue till the end of time. There are moral perverts of all sorts. Some have one fad and some another, and they will go on down to the end of time pursuing phantoms of some sort, Gnd commercialism is much talked of at this time simply because our commercialism is more widespread than at any other time in our history It was not until half a century ago that any progress was made in the transmission of commu nications between men; simultaneous there came rapid transportation of freight, but the spirit and the accom- plishment. under former circum- stances, was fiercer even than it is now. Don't let the pessimist get hold of you This spirit of commercialism is getting on as it always has and al- ways will.

The trouble with the farmer all the time is a lack of confidence in other farmers. While he is willing to trust everything to the slick politician. When is the day coming that the man who, for the sake of the loaves and the fishes of political fortune, is not allowed ito carry away the peoples votes by the ardor of his defense of the old soldier, or some other thing of the past, just then the light will begin to break, and the day of hope will have come to the farmer.

FARMERS EDUCATIONAL.
 AND COOPERATIVE UNION - OF AMERICA -
OF AMERICA

The very best and at the same time the very worst educators are the news. papers. This is a day in which the newspaper is an essential of every Well-regulated household It is up to the householder to select from the vast number of available papers the sort that are for the betterment of ms children and for his own help
 It ought to be a strenuous rule to never allow sour, calamity-howling sheet to come into the house Every body who knows anything knows that the time never was in all the history of the world when the blessings of llfe-its necessities and even it's lux ur1es-Were so nearly evenly distrib- uted. This is a day in which the servant enjoys comforts that king would have paid a ransom for a few hundred or even a few decades since
 In view of this, it is a shame that there are papers which make money out of calamity bowling. The oppor- tunities for the young man are fair ly bursting into bloom. The young man who has "been diligent in his business" is wanted all over this country to take charge of big enter prises where inefficient men are now trying to hold on by the skin of their teeth. When the world was said to be in it's golden age, more than half of the people were slaves, and the golden age was only for those on top, while the Submerged greater half' endured slavery so abject, so appsll- ingly hopeless, that it chills the mar row to even read of it all No, select those papers which tell of all the brightness and good things that are within the grasp of him who wills ," Let no editor whose words are not a benizen have an entrance into your family. This is a country of freedom and free men, and the message from every quarter should be the words of free men, who are free and who know it. If an editor can not be helpful, he should step down and out; and if l he will not do so, the public should re- l lieve him of his cares by letting him 1 hunt another aVocatiOn.

In a sense the Union is only a makeshift toward the highest sort of civilization. That highest mark will not be reached for a long, long time yet, whole lot longer than the life time of any man. The farmers must get together now in this cruder civili- zation, because the other businesses have gotten together, and are out in fight for self Under this sort of condition, it is the natural and proper thing that farmers should unite in an effort to meet the opposition of oth- CTS and to get the benefit of each others experience, influence and mu- tual moral assistance

Even young and healthy trees are continually dropping off leaves and twigs. These are the rejected things that are not for the well-being of the tree life. In the same measure, any sort of an organization will from time to time cast off various excressences that are useless or burdensome. The Union will lose from time to time some of it's one-time members, but so long as the organization remains pure and healthy. this means only the drop. ping of burden or an unnecessary
 hing. Keep healthy.
