The Function of Warehouses.

I am glad to see the boys presenting the proposition to store cotton at home and market through the ware houses. I hope some good ideas will be forthcoming. This is a very deep subject my brothers, and you will do well to give it your best thought and not jump at some hastily concocted theory. Two things you must bear in mind: Shylock will always be well pleased if you will so arrange your products that will enable him to levy tax against them-$3, 100000 insur- anee on the Texas cotton crop is a sweet morsel. Money borrowed on cotton certificates is quite an adjunct, and is just a new method of letting the other fellow eat your cake while you hold it.
 The paramount question with the farmer is, How Can l Avoid Interest and Rent?" and with Shylock, How Can l Get Interest and Rent? When the farmer bulks or concentrates hi products in any commercial center, dependent on others than himself for protection as to it's safety, this affords an opening for taxation-by the other fellow
 If you don't expect to market all your cotton in one, two, three or four months, nothing can be gained by storing it in either your local or cen tral warehouse. We need ware house, however, in every railrad town, or central shipping station. Your warehouse should be large enough to hold say from one-tenth to one-half the cotton tributary to such a shipping point.
 If you don't expect to eat a whole years rations at one meal why cook it all at once? Do you want bread pan large enough for fifty when there are only two in your family?
 How many farmers do you think would market through warehouse system if you could cut out from two to eight months storage and insur- ance? I know a few.
 I admire an l-wool-and-a-yardw wide Farmers Union man that says he will hold until the bagging rots. We need you very much. 1 was absent from my local three times in four years, and was sick twice. Never missed county meeting. l know all the boys. But, brethren, we must be practical. If you can't carry the log roll it. If we have a method the boys won't CO., operate under, fix one they will; there is more than one way to get boy to work. Look and see what you have butted your head against Be sure you know. I am looking and listening al- ways. Fraternally-J. J. Deaver, in National Co-Operator.

Brevity of Public Service.

From the Cleveland (O.) Plain Dealer.
 Gen. Isaac R. Sherwood, congressman from Toledo, in the course of his recent speech on the Roosevelt message, stated that it had been 34 years since he last addressed the House of Representatives and that of all the members of the For ty-third Congress, only two, Speaker Can non and himself, are members of the present Congress. In American history 34 years does not seem to be a very great lapse of time, and General Sherwoods s statement., which was. absolutely correct, is somewhat startling. General Sherwood further stated that of all the represen- tatives in the Forty-third Congress only 12 are still alive. He might have gone further and stated that of all the sena- tors in that Congress, only one, William B. Allison of Iowa, is a senator.
 General Sherwoods statement tends to show how comparatively brief must be the service of any one man in the gov ernment of the republic, and how depend- ent the nation is upon the succession of men of brains and integrity, each one talk ing up the work ably done and at last laid down by his predecessor. In the ca reers of few men, such as John Sher- man, the period of useful activity has not been limited to 34 years, but such cases are exceptions. Statesmen do not attain prominence as a rule before their 4Oth year, and by "A they are usually eager to put aside the cares of state.

One is of a young man who was made perfectly blind five years ago by the bursting of a wheel over which he was working No care of his own could have prevented the accident, and no defect for which he could have been held responsible was known of the wheel. In another case a man on an upper floor was shot and se- riously wounded by the discharge of a rifle which was being tested on the floor below. The test was made on the orders of a commissioned officer, who directed that the piece be fired at target. The bullet struck and glanced and went up through the floor, striking the workman,

 Representative Gillett of Massachusetts is keenly interested in the passage of measure which he has introduced in Con gress. He has prepared one of the most earnest speeches of his busy career in ad- vocacy of it. The bill provides that when, after the passage of the act, any person employed by the United States in any or it's manufacturing establishments or navy yards as an artisan or laborer IS lnlured in the course of such employment, he shall have a right of action against the United States for the recovery of dam ages. This proposed legislation grows out of the anomaly that persons in this class of employment now have no redress for injuries they may sustain through no

Though storm and wind prevail and boil weevil extend his devastating scourge over every acre of the Sunny South this favored section must always be the lead ing cotton producing country of the world
 When the weevil made his appearance across the border line in Texas a few years ago some weak-hearted planters predicted all kinds of dire calamity, but in this little account was taken of the ever fruitful ingenuity of science. It has been fully demonstrated in these later days that for every misfortune there lies a remedy in the active brain of man. And more often than not that misfortune and the application of the remedy works 8 blessing on the persons affected.
 One of the best illustrations of this point is the work that is being done by the agricultural department of the fed eral government in it's experimentations with the boil weevil pest in Texas.
 When this pest made it's appearance in Texas about five years ago the entire

 crop of the infested district was threat ened and, indeed, in some sections was a total loss. The following year it was greatly enlarged and in another season iL was apparent that the pest was trav- cling in waves that in few years would cover the entire cotton belt of the south.
 After many individual experiments 1t was found that the enemy was almost invulnerable and the planters were all most in despair, many of them turning their lands to others crops for salvation. In the meantime the weevil was slowly, but surely, spreading himself over wider territory.
 In 1904 the agricultural department be- came interested in the matter and put ex- perts in the field to make investigations and experimentations. The result of this work has been very gratifying and the farmers of Texas are producing cotton in spite of the weevil. The experts of the department have not only been able to show the planter how to cope successfully with the pest, but have led to many other practical Improvements In the produc- ton of cotton that are invaluable.
 R. L. Bennett, special agent of the gov ernment bureau of plant industry. who has been in charge of the experiments in collaboration with the Texas Agricultural Experiment station has just issued re- port that is of great importance to every cotton planter in the south.
 In making his fight against the weevil
