OF automobiles. AS we walk down the
boulevard he notes each machine that
whirls by us and without the slight
est hesitation gives the name of its
make.
Here comes a Steerocar," he says,
"the next is Pothard-Plump, that
one turning the corner is a Paddal-
whack, the one coming now is Poker
motive" and so on. In no single in
stance does he fail to name the ma
chine.
While we know him for man of
keen observation and quickness of
intellect, we are astonished at his
catholic knowledge of automobiles.
We beg him to tell us how he gained
so much information
He demurs for time, but upon
becoming insistent he laughs at us
and confesses:
"Old man, don't know one from
the other. You were 50 blamed

FORGOT HER HOUSEHOLD CARES.
AtchIson Woman Succumbed to the
Charms Of Romance.

An Atchison woman had company
coming to dinner, and the house to
clean, so at nine that morning she be-
gan the cleaning by putting new paper
on the pantry shelves.
When the company came at one
o'clock there was no sign Of the host
ess or dinner, so they began to search
the house to find her. At last
their search was rewarded. She was
sitting on pantry shelf, reading a
continued story in a newspaper, and
when the guests looked offended be-
cause of the lack of preparations made
for the meal, she showed them the
following paragraph, which began the
story, and which had tempted her to
drop her work and read more:
SO, Frances, Frances! Cynthia's
low rich voice shook with emotion.
Birney Gates turned his head in her
direction and met her eyes. Curious
gold-green eyes they we're, shadowed
by long, black lashes- -langourous and
enticing. For one moment he gazed
as if under a sudden spell. Later the
girl dropped her fan and he stopped
to pick it up for her. AS he handed
it back his fingers touched hers and
the contact thrilled him strangely"
Now do you blame her? Didn't that
promise to be more interesting than
wiping off sugar bowls, soup ladies
and porridge pots ?-Atchison Globe.

TEST Of the HOusekeeper.

Some one fond of generalizing has
said that the conditions of the win
dows reveal the character of the
housekeeper. A small quantity Of
water with alcohol in it is recon-
mended as the best medium for win
dow cleaning, with a newspaper rub
afterward. A dry clean for window
may be made with liquid whiting
spread over it, and there are numerous
substances sold for the purpose that
make it possible to keep the windows
so clean that even an Indifferent
housekeeper may get the credit of be-
ing a better one by virtue Of her clean
windows.

Livina with people.

live with others even at the cost of
considerable jarring and friction than
to live in undisturbed quiet alone. It
is not ideally the easy way. 1t means
ofttimes hurts, wrongs, injustices,
many wounding, many heartache.

a True Friend.

A true friend will tell one his faults,
is saying we often hear, but a true
friend, if he is wise In the knowledge
Of human nature, will tell his virtues.
The fact is that in this busy world Of
ours, with its keen struggle and sharp
competition, we are pretty apt to be
told our faults by those who are not
friends, and to be brought face to face
with our mistakes and failures so often
that we sometimes lose hope and cour-
age Whoever has word Of honest
praise for another should feel that he
holds something which is that others
due. and hasten to pay it. The word
Of blame may be a goal, but the word

LEARNING BUSINESS METHODS
The Farmer is Taking His Cue from
the Business Men.
OF AMERICA


The Farmers Union is the only
great farmers organization that does
not delegate its law making power
to representative bodies, but adopts
the referendum system In this it diff
fers from any other farmers organiza-
tion that has ever existed. Kindred or
ganizations, such as the Farmers AL.
lance and the Grange, delegated their
law making power to representative
bodies and this gave willy politicians
and spread-eagle orators a chance to
''infiuence' the body and inject into
it schemes in which were hidden self
ish and designing purposes-to graft
fy the personal ambition of the said
politicians. Other kindred organiza-
tions were also wrecked upon the dam
gerous rocks of partisan politics. With
these bold facts standing out promi.
nently as danger signals, is it any
wonder that those who conceived the
idea of the Farmers Cooperative and
Educational Union wisely enacted in
to the constitution clause that pro-
hibits even a discussion in a Union OF
anything of a partisan or religious ma
ture, and that any member guilty OF
such offense shall be expended from
the Union after a second offense.
The referendum system is the safe.
ty valve that protects the Union from
the swaying influence of 'stu vp
speech" oratory that creeps into and
controls representative bodies clothed
wtsn final power delegated to them by
thdar constituents. 1t is true that the
Farmers Union has its state and ma
tional meetings, but these bodies must
submit to referendum vote all impor
tant matters to be passed upon by Lo
cal Unions before they can be called
a law of the Farmers Union. The
farmers are learning business methods
from business men. They have learned
that when business men cooperate fol
the protection or promotion Of thell
terests, they don't let political senti
nents enter into their deliberations
Two or three good cotton warehouses
in each county in the south, ownet
and controlled by Farmers Unior
men, will be of more benefit and value
to the farmers than anything the!
have ever received or ever will re
ceive through any political source
Even one good warehouse in you
county will be worth more to you thai
a dozen of your best politicians couli
be worth to you in the legislature.
