after her husband had left the house
for his days work on that morning,
a coyote came TO the chicken yard
and made a raid on the chickens.
Mrs. Caldwell went TO chase the coy
oto away, not believing that a coyote
would attack o person. But she was
surprised when the thing took after
her. She started to run, tripped ana
fell prone on the ground. The coy
ote jumped on top OF her aud sank
his teeth in her breast. She grabbed
Mr.. Coyote by the throat with a
death grip. and checked il TO death.

Farmers Union Growth

The Farmers Union according to
National president, Chas. Barrett
numbers approximately two million
four hundred thousand. The mem
bership stretches from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Its objects are to
secure fair prices for the products
of the soil, to eliminate gambling in
natural commodities, to develop
diversihcation and to make each far
mer as far as possible the owner of
his land. 1t has grown from a
membership of nine organized in
the state of Texas five years ago
under the direction of Newt Ores
ham. Two million four hundred
thousand, an evidence of great con-
quest. Last year added seven hun
dred thousand members to its roll.
We plan to break the record this
year.

You Can't Please 'em

Mrs. Estella b. Ainsworth, of
Chicago, who died a few days ago
after pleading with her physician to
save her, illustrates fully how i'm
possible it is always to please a wo-
man
When Mrs. Ainsworth was pro-
nounced dead, her family and friends
tried to reconcile themselves to their
loss. The physician, after she had
been dead several hours, and after
every indication of death had devel-
oped, concluded to force her Jaws
apart and administer a powerful
st'mulant to the respiratory organs,
and the result was, that in short
time she was resusitated and is now
regaining her strength in hospital.

streets of an orthodox Heaven,
where she met many girlhood

Remains Blind for Success

Washington, June l2.-At a CON
sultation tonight at the Episcopal
Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital be-
tween Doctor Wilmer, the special
list, and Senator Thomas P. Gore,
of Oklahoma, it was decided to post
pone the operation on the Senator's
eye until he returns to Washington
next fall.
Mr.. Gore will leave for the West
within a few days, his presence be-
ing necessary in Oklahoma on ac-
count of opposition which has de-
veloped against him in the race for
reelection.
Word has been received here that
Martin L. Turner, who opposed Mr..
Gore in his race for the senatorship
has announced himself as a candi-
date. Senator Gore is anxious to
get into the campaign as soon as
possible, and for that reason will
give up the hospital treatment here.
However, the treatment for his eve
will be continued, under instruc-
tions by Doctor Wilmer, by mem
bers Of his family, so that when he
returns next fall his eye will be In
good shape for resumption of the
hospital treatment by which it is
hoped to cause a partial restoration
of his eyesight.

FRUITS IN ABUNDANCE
Government Experts Report
Yield Biggest in Many Years

Washington, June l5.-The crop
reporting experts of the Department
of Agriculture have issued a report
that is bound to make glad the
hearts of housewives all over this
land, and cause great commotion
in the pantry shelves and the wash
ing up of innumerable preserve jars.
Briefly, the reports estimate that
the great American farmer is going
to put on the market this summer
and fall more fruits of all kinds
than the country has known for a
long while. Apples, peaches, black
berries, raspberries, cantaIoupes,
water melons, and such lowly other
fruits as the cabbage and the onion
this year show an overflowing abun-
dance. Nature has smiled on the
crops, and there is going to be
many table groan under loads of
luscious fruit.
Take peaches, for instance. Last
year only 37.4 of the whole crop
survived. In this year of prosperi-
ty 73 per cent is going to reach the
market. There is a Is per cent in
crease in apples. A bumper crop
of blackberries is assured-a whole
"a per cent seems certain, and those
delicious red raspberries, look now
like 81 per cent good eating. Last
year there was only SO per cent of
blackberrles and IS per cent of rasp-
berries.
An increase of IL per cent IN wa
ter melons is bound to bring
toothy smile to the African face.
Ninety'two per cent of good
onions will blush modestly 70" the
salad, and bring tears with their
goodness, where only 81 per cent
bloomed modestly last year.
The cabbage snake story last
summer will have to be revised sure
ly, with the big jump in yield this
year-9O per cent, against S4 last
year. The saccharine sweetness of
both sugar cane and beet sugar is
also on tie increase.
