Producing Corporation.

The farmers, as a class, form the greatest producing corporation in the country
 | What other corporation, one-horse or Standard Oil, would calmly submit to such conditions?
 Is it any wonder, then, that wealth is accumulated in q few hands; that We find trouble developing our waste places; that the former as q class is the poorest of our population, when he should be the richest?
 Is it with a firm realization of these conditions, and a determination to re- move them. that the Farmers Union was founded? It appealed with yigor and persistence to the masses of the country's Wealth-producer. dealing with facts l have roughly outlined to you.
 The result has been that today, scarcely five years from our organiza- tion, We have membership approach ing 3,000,000 Of the people upon whose efforts the prosperity of this country NN NpGllhS.
 The farmer i3 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 semblance of a trade about it. The buyer simply die tatcd what he was willing to give and the producer humbly accepted.
 The cotton farmer no longer goes meekly to market and takes what is given him. He says: My cotton is worth so much to me and to you. demand this or that price for it. It is my property, and l have a right to put price on it'-From President Barlett'S Address.

The Farmers Dauqher.

The farmers daughter should be the pride of the household, says the Farm Star. She is the future mother of the men who are to continue the great work of building up and main. taining 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- tion as the boys. She should have her own pin money, earned from pouI- try or other farm sources, and should be taught to be independent and high thinking, and above all, wonanly and modest The health and happiness of the daughter should be the first care Of the parents, with the health and contentment of the boys only less care because they are more robust and self-reliant

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 mittee on minimum price of cotton All were agreed as to the principles in volved and the price which ought to prevail, but as to the best policy to pursue to bring about the desired re- suit there were differences of opin- ion. The question was discussed, how ever, in a fraternal spirit and no bit terness was left as the result Of the contest It seems to be not a ques- ticn yet of getting what cotton is worth but of securing the best price enough educated to know what it costs to produce the staple. Hence, it is to be hoped that the action Of the con vention will be acceped and Loyalty adhered to and that no one will crowd the market, even should the price be reached.
 There must be loyalty on the part of the membership if the Farmers Un- ion is ever to succeed as it has the op- portunity to do. Personal indepen- dence and democracy are all right in politics, but the business C ganization or institution which succeeds has a ss-c2d which can originate policies and tiirect their execution

After Other Treatment Faiied--RaW Eczema on Baby's Face Had Lasted Three Months-At Last
 Doctor Found Cure.

Our baby boy broke out with ec- zema on his face when one month old. One place on the side of his face the size of nickel was raw like beefsteak for three months, and he would cry out when 1 bathed the parts that were sore and broken out I gave him three months treatment from a good doctor, but at the end of that time the child was no better. Then my doctor recommended Cuticura. After using a cake of Cuticura Soap, third of a box of Cuticura Ointment, and half bottle of Cuticura Resolvent he was well and his face was as smooth as any baby's. He is now two years and a half old and no eczema has reappeared. Mrs. M. L. Harris, Alton, Kan, May If and June 12 1907."

He Could Not ReaG 1t,

While visiting in small town in Connecticut, seven miles from the rail- road station, I received occasionally a postal card from my fiance, written In kind of shorthand of our own. One day when a cousin was going to the post office I asked her to inquire if there was anything for me. She re- turned, saying there was nothing. The next day she made the same inquiry, when the postmaster showed her a postal card addressed to me and said: "En:, can you read this?" She said No Theceupon he said; Neither can l, and I have been trying ever since yesterday" This Illustrates the fact that curiosity is not confined to the fair sex

The Scramble for Wealth.

If there is sad thing in the world, 1t is the spectacle of the men and women who in their mad scramble for wealth, have crushed out of their lives sentiment and the love of all that is beautiful and sublime. The very process by which they seek to win the means of enjoyment kills the faculties by which they can enjoy. When the average man wins his wealth he finds himself without the power of enjoyment, for the enjoying side of his nature is dead, He finds to his sorrow that the straining, striv- ing life is also starving one.

Snnnetin1es Hard to Tell.

George Eliot says that the express sion on a womans face when she is sewing tells the story of the woman's heart. If she is happy and contented, or possibly slovenly and indifferent. she may smile and look the happi- ness she either feels or Is incapable of feeling. If she has many things to worry her and is possibly planning how to make ten cents do a dollars worth of good, or if she is naturally vixen, it will show in her face, so aft CT all it is not safe to predicate as to what her sewing face reveals.
