exacting Of all farm labor, and that
much of 1t must be done in the most
inclement season.
The producers had nothing to say as
to the price The trust made its offer
and it was a case Of take 1t or leave it
alone. The farmers were rapidly being
reduced from an independent and pros
porous condition to one Of almost seryl-
tude and with actual want staring
them in the face.
Finally the dark tobacco growers Or
gained as the Planters Protective AS
ISOLATION and pooled their tobacco.
They held out for two years before SELL
ing a pound Then the raw material
in the market became exhausted and
the trust was forced to come and buy
at the pool price Of 8 cents instead of
it's own price Of 3 cents. These organ
lied producers and the American To-
bacco Company are now working I'M
der fairly harmonious agreement and
have been for two years.
With this splendid example Of the
power of union before them the op-
pressed and individually helpless farm
ers of the great white hurley district
in November, 1905, organized as the
Kentucky Union Of the Society Of
Equity. Each member agreed to pool
his crop with the others and to sell
only through the officers of the organi-
zation. Warehouses were purchased or
erected in various places. The pooled
tobacco was either brought to these
warehouses or stored in the producers
barns. At Winchester samples of all
pooled tobacco were kept and the Equi-
ty farmers demanded that the pur-
chaser, instead of going to the farmers
or having the farmers come to him,
should purchase by sample of the Equi-
ty officer. At the beginning the Equity
people, when the Trust price was 6 or
61a cents, made out a price list which
would make the average price on all
grades Of an average crop Is cents,
some higher and some lower.
OF course, by no means all of the
growers came into the pool. Many re-
fused and continued to sell to the trust
at the best prices obtainable. But,
owing to the pooled and stored tobacco
making scarcity in the market, the
trust was forced to raise its price from
6 to 1917 cents and IS cents This was
highly satisfactory to the non Equity
growers They were loud in their
praises Of the organization which had
increased the prices, but they neverthe-
less preferred to take advantage of the

By far the largest district is that
where white hurley Is grown. This in
cludes from forty-two to fifty-fve coun-
ties and, roughly speaking, embraces all
Of the State east Of Louisville, Mays
vile and Mt. Sterling. Two counties In
Indiana and three in Ohio also produce
white hurley tobacco. This peculiar
grade can be grown nowhere else i'll the
world. It Is used almost entirely In
domestic trade and from 1t the very
highest type Of plug chewing tobacco is
made.
The tobacco producers Of the stem
ming, Green River and white hurley
districts are very generally organized
under the Kentucky Union Of the
American Society Of Equity.
The American Society Of Equity Is a
national organization of farmers. It's
objects are the improvement Of meth
DDS Of agriculture, the Introduction of
new and improved seeds, social inter-
course, and, more than all else, the Sc
curing Of fair and equitable prices for
farm products In many respects it is
to the farmer what the trades union Is
to the craftsman
The American Tobacco Company,
otherwise known as the Tobacco Trust,
is an organization Of capital which well
nigh controls the manufacture Of to-
bacco in this country, which is gradu-
ally invading the retail cigar and to-
bacco trade, and which has such
strength and such extensive ramif1ca-
lions that it dictates the price of raw
material to the grower.
So much for the fundamentals of a
condition which has produced the pres
ent tobacco war in Kentucky.
When the tobacco market was an
open one-that is, when there was OPP
position among the bidders for the raw
leaf-the price of white hurley was
about Is cents per pound, and Of the
dark tobacco about or 9 cents. Then
came the Tobacco Trust. Opposition in
bidding was eliminated and prices
were hammered down and farther
down until the dark tobacco was bring
ing cents and the white hurley g
cents. Such a reduction meant ruin
for the farmers The actual cost OF
production, reckoning mans labor at
81 per day and teams services at 80
cents, would be just about this figure.
There was no allowance for the terri
BILE drain upon the land itself, for the
fact that in the rush seasons the farm
ers were forced to hire extra help at
S1.2O to 50 per day, or for the fact
that the work is the hardest and most

what became Of CromwellY' The
question Is vexed one, says the Lon
don Lancet. According to an ancient
tradition Cromwell's body was conveyed
away Immediately after his death, in
obedience to his last orders, and was
buried on Naseby field, where he had
obtained the greatest victory and
glory" According to another account,
Mary, Lady Fauconberg, Cromwell's
daughter, was able to convey the body
away from its grave in the abbey and
to have it buried in her husbands
house Of Newburgb, in Yorkshire,
where the tomb, an impenetrable mar
Bile one, Is still shown. Another body
was substituted for Cromwell's in the
abbey and it was this nameless corpse
which underwent the indignities put
upon it in January, 1861, when the
putatiye body was hanged on the gal
lows at Tyburn, together with Ireton's
and Bradshaw's, while the head was set
UP on pole above Westminster hall.
This head, still transfixed by a spike
which was let through the Uranium by
means of a specially drilled hole, is now
in the possession Of Horace Wilkinson
of Sevenoaks. It Is the head, curious
ly enough, Of some one whose body has
probably been embalmed, for the top of
the skull has been sawed off, in order,
presumably, to admit Of the removal of
the brains. The body to which this
head belonged was buried under the
gallows of Tyburn, unless, which is
probable, the Fauconbergs obtained the
body there and carried IL off.
Death masks Of Cromwell might
throw some light On the question Of the
identity Of the head. One Of these was
in the Museum of the Royal College of
Surgeons Of England q century ago. 1t
is described by William Cliff as IAN I'M
doubted cast Of the face Of Oliver
Cromwell" 1t is presumably a death
mask. Another such is, according to
Waylen, in the possession Of the Rev.
Thomas Cromwell, rector of Michel
Dean Gloucestershtre. 1t may be men
toned that the measurements Of the
Sevenoaks head are said to correspond
with those Of extant likenesses and
busts Of the protector.

Don't Fold Your Arms.

By folding your arms you pull. the
shoulders forward, f1atten the chest and
impair deep breathing Folding the
arms across the chest so f1attens 1t
down that it requires a conscious effort
to keep the chest in what should be its
natural position. AS soon as you for
get yourself down drops the chest.
We cannot see ourselves as others
see us. If we could many of us would
be ashamed of our shapes. The pcsl-
ton you hold your body In most OF the
time COON becomes its natural position.
Continuously folding your arms across
the chest will develop fat chest and a
rounded back.
Here are four other hints which
should be made habits: Keep the back
Of the neck close to the back of the
collar at all possible times. Always
carry the chest farther to the front
than any other part Of the anterior
body. Draw the abdomen in and ND a

1t has been ascertained that one

the British House Of Lords did not at

They form nearly three-tenths Of the

and their voluntary absence should be
counted in their favor Certainly the

Some Famous Salt Lakes.

The Dead Sea is forty miles long
and nine miles wide. The Great Salt
Lake Is seventy miles long and eighty
miles wide, the largest body of brine in
the world. There is evidence to show
that once the Great Salt Lake was at
least $50 miles in length and $50 in
width-nine times its present area. The
Dead Sea contains about "a per cent
of solids. one-third of which is pure
salt, while of the % per cent of solid
matter in the waters of Great Salt
Lake nearly all is salt.

Buttons.

How did the world manage for centu-
r!es without buttons? In early ages they
were unknown. The volumnous gar
ments Of oriental races are still att ached
to their persons by means of straps. as
were those of the Greeks and Romans
Neither these nor our forefathers ap-
peared TO suffer for the want of but tons,
although as soon as they were invented
they saw the usefulness of them The
Normans were responsible for their in
vention. The etymology of the word
points to the derivation OF the idea. Bout,
an end or extremity. and bouter. to push.
show that the buttons were originally a
push piece. like the buttons of our mod
ern electric bells. The Normans prob
ably conceived the idea from the rough
knots of their furniture. on which, most
likely. they hung their garments. Once
introduced, buttons came rapidly into
use, but it was after the restoration or
rather at that period that buttons be-
came one of the chief imports of this
country and were heavily taxed But
tons nowadays. what are they? Things
that are as certain to come off, as the
boat race or the Derby. 1t is indeed diff
ficult to know what We should do with
out them. Life would scarcely be worth
living. Indeed. the final end of all things
looks as if it will be accomplished by the
mere pressing of a button.
