For Extending Use of Cotton.

J. E. Pearson, at the recent Annual Convention of the Farmers Union in- troduced the following, which was adopted:
 Realizing the importance, not only to the South, but to the American na- ton at large, or creating a larger and permanent demand for cotton, we recommend that the representative from each state in this convention, upon their return home. urge upon every local Union and every County and District Union that immediate steps be taken to induce the members that all demand and insist that deal CTS furnish them with all kinds Of wrapping twine, cord, made of cotton only. and that also all sacks for salt, sugar, grain of all kinds. potatoes, etc. be made of cotton bagging when possible, and insist that webbing for brides and halters and back bands be made of cotton, which is the American product, whereas jute and sisal (from which many of above items are made) are products of forcing countries and money expended for articles made of iute and sisal goes abroad to enrich foreigners. We further recommend that our members secure the co-opera- tion of all commercial bodies in their respective states and other organiza- tions 10 aid and cooperate in purchas- ing abOye articles, and insist that same bo made of cotton, which furnishes omplovment to thousands of American labOrers, whereas jute and sisal ar ticlcs are made by forcing labor In accordance with a resolution passed along above lines by the Northeast Texas District Farmers Union, com nosed of the counties of Bowie, Red River. Lamar, Delta and Fannln at tbcir meeting in June last the Texas Wholesale Groeers' Association on mo- ton of MT. A. P. Foute of Waples- Platter Company, have taken steps to comply with above recommends lions which was signed by Brother J. P Pearson of Dodd City, Texas, presl- dent of above Farmers District Un- ion and we are informed that the Southern Wholesale Grocers' Associa- tion have also adopted committee re- norts favoring to above recommenda- tion. and they claim it will increase the price of cotton at least 1-2 cent Der pound and we urge prompt ana continuous action from our member shin and all friends 10 bring about this increased demand, which can easily be accomplished by united and continuous action"

A Contemptible Character.

The most contemptible character which the Farmers Union meets to- day is the farmer who taunts the member of the Union for not selling his cotton at 12 cents, as Ar. Wise acre. did. Ungrateful and ignorant wretch If members of the Farm CTS Union had dumped their cotton on the market when these robbers of their brothers were doing it, the prices of cotton would have reached eight cents months ago and would be sell ing today at five and six cents. In stead of being honored for their self sacrifice by the their non-union neigh bors, as they should be. their selfsac- rifice has been coined into money by taking advantage of the good market made by the holding movement. It is like a drowning man, who has been rescued by friend. jeering that friend because he did not have sense enough to remain on land and take care of his health It is like a man whose property and loved ones have been saved by the sacrifice of another ridi- culing the friend for not having judg- ment to take care of himself. Even the cotton buyers and spectators ad- init that the holding movemen, saved cotton from dropping to the lowest prices ever recorded. This is the uni versal verdict of the business world. Imagine, then, the contempt in which the business man and cotton buyer must secretly hold the farmer who is % ungrateful and so selfish as to reap the benefits of another's efforts and then upbraid him for his unselfish work,-National CoOperator.

Push.and.Pull Exercise.

One of the fat.inclined men of New York has novel method of keeping himself in fine fettle. It is push and-pull exercise. In the basement Of his home, which has a level concrete floor. he has installed several wheeled objects. One is a safe weighing two tons Another is a box of chains that used to belong on Staten island fer ry boat as a balance; it weighs 9,000 pounds. Still another is a cast-of bull lion cart that used to do duty in the assay office; it weighs 1000 pounds, but may be loaded with pig iron up to 15,OO0 pounds. The exercise consists in pulling and pushing these vehicles over the floor and. judging by the de- veiopment of our friend. it is effective. His general strength is prodiglous, and there is no muscle-binding.-New York Press.

MINISTER A TRIPLE MIXED UP.
Consequently There Was an Awkward
 Perhaps In Funeral Grafton.

It was at the funeral of a man who had left his young and attractive help meet a widow for the third time. At the time of his death their clergyman was away on a European trip, and in this emergency the Rev. Dr. Blank was called upon.
 A neighbor instructed him hastily as to the admirable qualities of the deceased, his benevoence, piety and kind disposition. and gave him vari- ous points as to his family relations. During the funeral discourse no out sider would have suspected that the clergyman had not been lifelong friend of the dead man. When. how ever, he came to mention the widow in his prayer it was evident that his data in regard to her had become a rifle confused He said
 And now We commend to thy care this widowed handmaid. who has been bereaved again and again and again Then hesitating an instant, he added: And perhaps again"

on His Farm of Forty Acre.

when a man has reared a family of iouFIeeh children on a farm of forty acres-giving each and every young. Ster a good education, comfortable nome until manhood or womanhood IS reached, and finally substantial start in life-it's big boost for acre laFmihg This was accomplished by C' !. Tfice, who died a few days ago ln Kansas City at the home of his son, c. Y. Trice, Jr., 436 Prospect avenue. At the time of his death he was S7 years old.
 Mr. Trice came to Missouri from Kentucky in 1850 and bought 4O-acre farm near Cameron, 1fty-hve miles northeast of Kansas City. He had a wife and six children. Eight more came in after years.
 After Mir. Trice paid for his farm at $2 an acre he had left only his wagon and oX team He possessed no other capital The soil, he determined. must yicId the family living. and he began systematic and scientific cuI. tiyafiou of the land.
 He planted even the fence corners: lhere was no room for weeds. A cookie burr didn't have change 10 20 to seed. As soon as one crop was harvested he soil was prepared i'm mediately for another Some Of the land was made to yield two or three crops a year.
 Under fathers management that forty acres yielded our large family a good living" C Y. Trice, Jr.. said re gently. 1t was our only source of revenue and it was sufficient, but father knew how 10 farm. He was al most half century ahead of hi, time with his farming methods that ex- rlained his success. He practiced the so.called scientific farming fifty years ago We didn't have many luxuries, of course, but we had plenty to eat and to wear and we had an education and father accumulated enough to give us start when we left home.-all of of forty acres"
 To the up-to-date, energetic agricul- turist the success of MT. Trice on for ty acres of land may seem remarkable But there are many careless, slip shod' farmers who fail to earn a good living for a much smaller family on twice that amount of land And what investment in the city, representing even twenty times the sum invested by MT Thrice, would yield like re- turn?
 Twelve of Mir. Trice's fourteen farm-reared children are living, and there are forty-eight grand children and fifty great grandchildren and one at.great-grandchild Out of 113 descendants eighty-nine are living - Kansas City Star.

n SSN''e'y 'oJis Have you dug your grass?" asked
 the city chap of the staring farmer man: For he thought he would not crush
 the swain Beneath his social ban. How was the crop when you dug
 your grass?
 Did the weevils hurt your peas? And did the canker worms destroy Your young cucumber trees?" T love, good sir, the country air; From the town fain would fec. And lose myself in rural dreams Meath the potato tree I would pluck the turnip from its
 vine,
 Thro the parsnip meadow push. And rest beneath the grateful shade Of the onions bending bush. "Ohi I fain would be d simple swain And drive my yoke of cows, And rest at noon beneath the shade Of the rutabaga boughs. I'd hunt the woods where the CO.,
 coanuts grow The whole of the liyelong day, Or start at morn with the rustic hoe To dig the hills for hay. And if al monday l grow faint With my labor's strain and rush, ! would mix the milkweeds lucious

 With the mushrooms lucious mush. would pluck the pineapple from the
 pine
 But why has your color ned?" But the good man fell with sicken-
 ing thud;

The National Meeting.

The national convention of the Farmers Educational and Cooperative Union of America, held in Fort Worth recently, showed the organization to be in excellent condition and capa- ble of doing effective work in the in terest of the farmers during the com ing marketing season.
 With the spread of the Union 10 grain, tobacco and fruit growing states. the work has naturally divided itself into different departments and the committees representing them have outlined plans for handling these various product which will. no douot' prove advantageous.
 The system for marketing cotton seems to have been advanced material ly and with the cooperation Of the membership the way Is being opened for direct sales to the mills, Whlch has been the desire of many members for sometime past.
 Partisan politics had no place in me convention and yet 1t was evident mat the farmers now realize that much ih- jury has been done them by the na- tional and state law making bodies and that these injuries must De re- medied. This, however, Is recommenu ed by direct appeals to the congress and legislatures and not through the endorsement of any political party
 All in all, the national meeting mas added strength to the Farmers union movement.
