Another Lesson for the Farmer.

The International Cotton Fedora. cotton goods ill Europe and America. held it's fifth annual congress at Paris 1 in July. Although this organization was begun in 1894 and at first pro. fessed to be for the purpose of en- couraging the production of raw cot. 1 ton in Europe and Africa, it was cer- tain that it would not stop at that. The main purpose of the federation is now made clear in the following resolution. which was adopted last | month:
 Resolved That whenever there is lack of raw material, or when the manufactured articles exceed the de mand of any country, the adoptio of short time running mills is tho only real remedy; and that all asso' citations be requested 10 perfect their local organizations in order to put short time into operation whenever ii may be considered necessary.
 Here is a fresh object lesson for the cotton farmer While he talks sentimentally about his duty to grow all he can and supply the world with clothes. the manufacturer gets down to business and resolves that when oyer there is a lack of raw material or when the manufactured article eA' ceed the demand" he will run his mill nm short time. No sentiment in the nronosition to him. No matter that famines or floods have made the peo- ple too poor to buy all the cloth ne can manufacturc-rather than supply if nj n lower price he will run his mill on half time
 This is the system by which all in' dustrial trusts control prices, Ihey orrtail the output at the first intima- t,op that the demand for their goods ,s not keen. The labor organizations aro conducted along the same lines. Nobody these days, but the cotton farmer tries to produce all he can Tor market. And the farmer could pc tue most independent of all, if he would Ioorn the lesson of keeping the world hrpgrv for his products by limiting ,toso bo has to sell and raising fuli eunnIv of those he consumes at nome Tben a better system or marKetihs n,ul eunplement this and bring the nrosnarity the farmer deserves.

rtoures Show Farmers Prosperity

The remarkable progress in power of production in the agricultural world was uniquely summed up by inc president of the National Farm. ers' Congress, MT. John Stahl, in opening his address at the last annual convention at Rock Island, when he said:
 T congratulate you, as representa- lives of the United States, on ma ,eria prosperity. To the nation $ production the farmers of the United States this year contributed six bil. lion dollars.
 "We hear much of the Standard . Oil Company, and it's wealth, but our annual eXports-not production, but export-of cotton alone has value four times as great as all the petro- eum produced in the United States in year.
 From the attention given disturb ances ill coal mining one might con sider that coal is a very important production in this country.
 But year after year the farm prod. ucts of the United States have on the farm q value more than sixteen times the value at the mine of all the coal dug in the United States.
 "We have become the greatest pig iron producing country in the world, yet each year the grain of one crop corn-has value five times greater than all the pig-iron produced in this country
 Why, the corn grown each year by the farmers of Illinois alone, has value about equal to our entire pro duction of pig-iron.
 Every time our miners dig dollar from our gold mines, We farmers dig s70 dollars from the ground, and every time our miners dig a dollar of silver from our mines, we dig Sl65 from the ground.
 "The farm products of the United States have a value more than twelve times greater than all the gold and silver mined in all the world.
 With their products of one year only, tho farmers of this country could buy at par all the stock of all the national banks of the entire coun- try, not once or twice, but eight times over, and they could pay all the wages and salaries in our great iron and steel industries thirty.four times and have money left.
 During the past sixteen years our exports of all articles have exceeded our imports by s5,O92, 100000. In the same period our exports of farm products exceeded our imports ot farm products by $5.635,0 100000.
 The farmer is responsible for our enormous favorable balance in inter- national trade.
 Tn all the world no other class in any country produces as much wealth as the farmers of the United States.

FOR POSSESSION
OF LITTLE GIRL
MRS. BELLE INGRAM BRINGS
HABEAs CORPUS PROCEED
INGS FOR CHILD.

An interesting contest over the
possession of beautiful lit
tie girl of about fifteen OF
eighteen months of age was heard
before Judge Holding of the Circuit
Court Saturday. Mrs Belle Ingram
the relator, has brought habeas cor.
pus proceedings against Peter Hen
son and wife, Lizzie Henson, for the
possession of the little one alleging
that the defendants have not properly
treated the child and should not have
its care and custody. The child was
taken from Judge Ferris iorphan's
home at Nashville by the relator ana
she turned her over to the defendants
about year ago. 1t is charged that
the defendants have not given the
child that care and attention which
she ought to have. Both sides have
counsel and the contest for posses
sion of the little one, an unusually
looking little fellow, is
spirited.
Judge Holding reserved his decis-
lon.
