Cooperation Among Farmers

By Fredric J. Haskin.

the most numerous class of people in the country. adding more to the na- tional wealth than any other class. pos sessing a larger share of this national wealth than any other class, farmers are yet the poorest organized of any people in the United States. Printers say what wages they want and usually get them. Lawyers fix their fees, doc- tors maintain their scale of charges, merchants establish their prices, but farmers must sell what they have to sell at prices fixed by others, and buy what they have to buy under similar conditions.
 Attempts at national organization and national cooperation heretofore. have always failed. The Granger movement went to smash under it's own weight, and the Farmers Alliance was no greater success. Organized the farm CTS of tn country possess enough ready money to put up a price-strike which W uld make the great coal strike of 1902 look small indeed. With the strong helping the weak, they could maintain an indefinite strike for higher prices for their produce and lower prices for their machinery. Did they assess the individual farmer half as much in proportion to his wealth as the coal miners, the printers, the brick layers, or the carpenters are individu- dIy dSSSSbSo tO maintain Lneir WdEo- scales. they could raise fund hich would be incalculably greater than the big coal strike fund of 1902. It has long been the dream of many to unite the farmers of the country as. other classes are united, but they de- clare it Utopian dream. The devel- opment of the cooperative principle. according to those who are studying the trend of the times, will be along neighborhood and not along national lines.
 Last year the farmers furnished ex- ports amounting to over a billion dol- lars, four-flfths of which were plant products. If to the products that are fully agricultural are added those which are considerably so in combis nation with materials of other origin. and then to this is added the value of the forest products and the manufac- lures therefrom. the remainder of the exports amount to but 2S 1-2 per cent of the toal. So in spite of the fact that the farmer fixes neither the price of what he sells nor of what he buys, he is yet about the most prosperous in- dividual in the country.

ALMOST A SHADOW Gained 20 lbs. on Grape-Nuts.

There's a wonderful difference be- tween a food which merely tastes good and one which builds up strength and good healthy flesh.
 It makes no difference how much we eat unless we can digest It. It is not really food to the system until 1t Is ab- sorbed. A Yorkstate woman says:
 q had been a sufferer for ten years with stomach and liver trouble, and had got so bad that the least bit of food such as I then knew, would give me untold misery for hours after eat ing.
 T lost flesh until I was almost shadow of my original self and my friends were quite alarmed about me.
 First I dropped coffe and used Pos tum then began to use Grape-Nuts al- though I had little faith 1t would do me any good.
 But I continued to use the food and have gained twenty pounds in weight and feel like another person in every way feel as if life had truly begun anew for me.
 T can eat anything like now in moderation. suffer no i'll effects, be on my feet from morning until night. Whereas q year ago they had to send me away from home for rest while others cleaned house for me, this spring have been able to do 1t myself all alone.
 My breakfast is simply Grape-Nuts with cream and a cup of Postum with sometimes an egg and a piece of toast. but generally only Grape-Nuts and Postum. And I can work until noon and not feel as tired as one hours work would have made me year ago. There's a Reason"

 Dear Sir--I want to have a talk with you tomorrow on a matter of im- portance. Will call at your ofilces at 11:30. Yours faithfully,

3H Literature and Finance.

Literature and Ffn4nces
 Mir. Mallard, sole proprietor of that very successful morning paper. The Daily Biograph, had every reason to be pleased with himself.
 It was the fiftieth anniversary of the birth of the paper. and the desk In front of him was heaped high with congratulatory letters and kilograms. Some of these were unsolicited testi- monials; others had been sent in reply to a short note stating that the paper would celebrate its jubilee on such . and-such a date, and asking for a brief | expression of opinion on the way in which the paper was conducted, etc., etc. But all were satisfactory. Not a single discordant note spoiled the swell Ing chorus of praise. There was an excellent reason for this unanimity of opinion. Those who did not approve of the paper or Mfr. Mallard. had made no reply at all.
 Not the least satisfactory of all the letters which had come by that morn- ing's post was the brief communication | from the Richest Man in the World It is true that 1t did not contain a word of congratulations; but MT. MaIlard read between the lines. Mir. Lampir- thy would tender his compliments In person; he had also a business propo- sition to make. Such propositions, made to a leading newspaper by a millionaire, were usually of a satis- factory nature. They involved the 1 payment of a large sum of money for a small and easily performed service. MT. Mallard lit a large cigar, and, l leaning back in his chair, regarded the great pile of letters and telegrams with complacent smile. He was a small l man of about SO clean-shaven with
 dark hair and bold Hebraic nose.
 But MT. Mallard's self satisfied ex- | pression on this particular morning
 was not entirely due to the letters oi
 congratulation, though he looked for | ward with pleasure to the extracts that
 would appear in his paper for many days to come He was thinking of the huge increase in profits which would | come to him in three weeks time. He was at present paying 20 per cent more than the market price for his paper. In three weeks time his contract with | the Southeastern Paper Mills Limited would come to an end. The new con tract would be drawn up on a very ] different basis.

If you knew as we'll as we do how good prep aration Kodol Is for indigestion and dyspepsia 1t would be unnecessary for us to guarantee single bottle
 But to get you to know how good 1t is as we'll as we know, we practically will purchase the first bottle for you.
 You wonder perhaps, how we can afford to make such an ofer-It is because we have abso- Sute confidence in the honesty and fairness of the public.
 We know there are thousands of persons who suffer from indigestion and dyspepsia who would be grateful to us for putting them in touch with Kodol.
 That is why.
 Furthermore, we know that after you have used Kodo your faith in the preparation will be equal to ours.
 This proposition we make is not altogether unselfish, but it is actuated by the Knowledge that the use of Kodol by you will benefit you as well as ourselves.
 How could we afford to make such an offer to the public, and how could we anord to spend thousands of dollars to tell you about 1t unless we positively knew and were sure of the merits or Kodol.
 We couldn't-it woWld bankrupt us.
 But we know the merits of Kodol and VIC want you to know.
 A perfect digesteF must contain many tngred' ients each in proper proportion.
