The Farmers Daughter.

The farmers daughter should be the pride of the household, says the Farm Star She is the future mother of the men who arc 10 continue the great work of building up and main tauiug the dignity and prestige of the greatest calling in the greatest coun' try in the world.
 With this thought in view. the daughter of the household should be shielded from the toughest of life's experiences. she should have all the pleasures and comforts that the finan. cial condition of the family will per mt. and should get as good an educa' ton as the boys. She should have her own pin money, earned from poul, try or other farm sources, and should be taught 10 be independent and high thinking, and above all. womanly and modest The health and happiness of the daughter should be the first care of the parents, with the health and conleutmont of the boys only a less care because they are more robust and sclfroliant.

Whose finish?" said l.
 oh, we will probably be beaten, he admitted, but We want to give them a campaign of education and en. lightenment. What that ward needs. what every ward needs. is d chance to have it's higher nature aroused. What they want, I'm convinced, is more op. portunity to see the light"
 My friend was my reply, I've travelled some in that ward, What they want there is not more light, but more beer
 Yet, despite sometimes misdirected energy, these men and their associa- tions did much in making political conditions better. For that they de serve substantial credit. So long as they were absolutely non-partisan they yielded considerable influence and properly but oa occasion they allowed prejudice to bias them and did inius- tice to good mon.
 The other type of well-known re- former was the one who continually headed reform movements. He might he can lidate for alderman. or the legislature. or congress. But WheI- ever there waS kick coming. and meeting advertised to protest. or or. ganize, this class would be on hand carly and get he chairmanship of the meeting. usually coming out in a ringing" speech of dcnuUciation against the infamy which the citizens had met to combat. This put he TO. former next" fl il was a proposition to nominate aa opposition candidate, and he often goi away with the n0ni. nation Or, if he was q professional man, a lawyer. a doctor. or real cS. tate man even. it was pretty fair ad.

 And in every large city suppose there are only few bright promoters like that standing around waiting to sell gold bric,, or two.
 Some of these "reformers" were pretty fierce when they happened to land in an office, A few of them were swept into the city council astride the top of wave of popular indignation" and they were the hungry boys, some of them. They were simply on the qui yive to be approached" And when they were tempted they fell swiftly and without a sound. Their motto was that of the Hon. Webster Flanagan, with different interpreta.

Producing Corporation.

The farmers, as a class, form the greatest producing corporation in the country.
 What other corporation. oue-horse or Standard Oil, would calmly submit 10 such conditions?
 Is it any wonder, then. that wealth is accumulated in a few hands; that we find trouble developing our waste places; that the farmer as a class is the poorest of our population, when he should be the richest?
 Is ii with firm realization of these conditions, and a determination 10 re move them. that the Farmers Union was founded? It appealed with vigor and persistence to the masses of the countrys wealth-producer, dealing with facts l have roughly outlined 10 you
 The result has been that today, scarcely five years from our organiZa- tion. we have a membership approach ing 3,000,000 of the people upon whose efforts the prosperity of this country depends
 
 The farmer Is the one man who brings his product into the market and asks meekly, What will you give me?" And then takes what is given him. Up to few years ago there was not even the semblancc of a trade about 1t. The buyer simply die tated what he was willing to give and the producer humbly accepted.
 The cotton farmer no longer goes meekly 10 market and takes what k given him. He says; My cotton is worth so much 10 me and to you. I demand this or that price for il. IL is my property. and l have a right to put a price on it"-From President Barrctts Address

The Most Interesting Discussion.

The most interesting and animated discussion of the recent National Farmers Union Convention was that which followed the report of the com mittce on minimum price of cotton All were agreed as to the principles in volved and the price which ought 10 prevail, but as t0 'hc best policy 10 pursue to bring about the desired re- suit there were differences of opiu. ion. The question was discussed. how. ever, in a fratornal spirit and no bit- terness was left as the result ce the contest It seems to he not a qucs- ton yet of getting what coticn is worth. but of securing the best price possible until the farmers become we'll enough educated to know what il costs 10 produce he staple Hence, it is 10 be hoped that the action of the con vention will be acccped and Loyalty adhered to and that uo one will crowd the market, even should he price be reached.
 There must be loyalty on he part of tho membership if the Farmers In. ion is ever 10 succeed as il has the op- portunity to do Personal ndepeu- dence and democracy are all right in politics, but the business organization or institution which succeeds has a head which can originate policies and direct their execution.

SUSPECT KID CURRY.
Notorious Bandit Alleged To Be En-
gagged In Horse Stealing.

According t a Poplar correspon.
dent of the Butte Evening News, a
gang of horse thieves under the lead
ership of the notorious ''Kid' Curry
has been operating in the eastern part
of Valley county. About five years
ago, it will be remembered, Curry es.
capped from an eastern p~enitentiary
where he was being held for compiled.
ty in the Wagner train robbery, and
it is alleged that he is now engaged in
stealing horses in northern Montana
and taking them into Canada. The
story says In part:
Advice has been received here by
the sheriff from George Hargraves, a
we'll known COW puncher at present in
charge of the stock of the United
States geological survey party which
is operating on the Fort Peck Indian
reservation, that Curry and two other
of his notorious band are on another
raid across the Missouri gathering in
horses and all loose stock that they
can get their hands on. Hargraves
missed Eve saddle horses and two
government mules from his bunch of
stock one night early this week. He
started early in the morning or a
search for them, and came upon the
Curry party about 10 miles distant
from the government outfit camped in
a coulee known as Little Wolf creek,
waiting for darkness SO that they could
proceed with the rustled stock to the
Canadian line.
Hargraves recognized Curry in
stantly, and knew what sort Of a man
he was to deal with, so did not an
nounce his errand, although he plainly
saw his own stock among the big
bunch herded in the coulee. Moreover,
he was alone and would stand a poor
show against the three desperate
bandits. He asked for a snatch of
food and water, and told them that he
was on his way to Glasgow to buy a
couple Of mares which he had heard
were for sale. The story seemed to
satisfy the horse thieves, but Har-
graves had q very narrow escape from
detection as one Of his " ponies. a
great favorite with him, known around
the camp as "Croppy," whinnied as
he saddled and rode away.
1t is stated that Hargraves returned
to the camp during the night, and
succeeded in recovering the horses
that belonged to him, but the gang is
supposed to have gone to Canada with
the remainder of the stolen amin ais.
