Mr.. and Mrs. M. d. Stribling en-
tertafnad number of young people
at a watch party in their delightful
home on Hickory Hill Tuesday even
ing, the 31st. The drawing rooms
ana dining room were deliberately
and artistically decorated with holly.
cedar and cut flowers. After many
interesting and amusing games and
contests, the charming hostess pre-
sented big, brightly colored ball
TO the young men, and bade them
knock down the hearts which were
pinned upon the wall. 1t was very
amusing to see these young gallants
display their wonderful feats of base
ball In this manner. Upon each
heart was written the name of some
young lady, whom the young gentle
man was happily allowed to conduct
to the dining room, where delicious
and dainty refreshments were served,
A short while after the young people
had returned from the dining room,
they were startled by the excessive
ringing Of bells, blowing of whistles,
and beating OF anvils. & The old year
had passed away and the New Year
had begun. This sad fact was ap-
palling to them, but still more ap-
palling one was the fact that 1t was
time to go home. Mr.. and Mrs.
Stribling certainly proved themselves
an admirable host and hostess, and
1T Is the hearty wish Of all who were,
present on this delightful occasion,
that 1t will not be long before they
will be allowed the happy privilege
|of attending such another party
there.

RAILROAD SURVEYING
 ALONG THE AGUA FRIA
A Corps of Engineers Excites the Gu riosity of the Inhabitants.

People who have come up from the lower valley within the last day or two speak of a mysterious railroad survey which is in progress there. Four railroad surveyors with a large corps of men have been operating in the vicinity of the Agua Fria and that William Moore who lives on the Agua F'ria had been employed by them to assist them in finding the best cross ing. It is the supposition in that part of the country that the survey has something to do with the extension of the Southern Pacific from Phoenix in that direction. When Colonel Randolph was last here about three weeks ago. he vas asked about the intentions of the company to begin operations said with considerable pos itiveness that the company had no i'm mediate plans. He added that no new work would be undertaken on the Hartman lines anywhere in the Unit ed States until things throughout the country got settled and until there was al assurance that they would stay settled Tor sometime.
 The Los Angeles pauers a few days ago mentioned that an engineering corps of twcnty-four men had just left for the Imeprial country, in connec- ton with the San Diego and Arizona project and that they would extend their trip as far as Yuma. It is quite possible that this corps which is opr- ating in the vicinity of the Agua Fria for there is a general understanding, not based on any authentic iHforma- tion however that it is the purpose of the San Diego and Arizona to estab- fish connection with the Southern Pa cific at Yuma and eventually reach I11,,.,,g.- r,,- +l,r ,--.,,- y c 1-,,r..-

The Doctors Fee.

The average man will give lawyer $500 to $500, together with lifetime's praise, to keep him out of the peniten- tiary for from two to ten years, and at the same time he will raise a phos- phorescent glow and kick that can be heard around the world if a doctor charges him $50 to $100 to keep him out of hell for lifetime. We are the only people under Gods ethereal tent to-day who keep open shop "A hours each day and 365 days in each year. We are also the only laborers to keep on working for people who do not pay. I can carry my part of charity with as good a grace as most men. can go through rain, snow or mud and do my best, provided the case is one of worthy need, but to reward continually downright rascality, willful drunken ness and wanton laziness is getting out of my line.-TeXas State Journal of Medicine

Sell What the World Wants.

The cotton Journal wants farmers to hold all surplus cotton above the worlds needs, and discussing this proposition, says:
 The production of the south's cot ton crop is being variously estimated at the present time from Il, ,500,0 to 13,500,0 900 bales. The leading authori ties on consumption estimate that the worlds need for American cotton dur ing the next twelve months will not fall short of 12,500,000 bales. Admit ting for arguments sake that in the supplies of raw cotton available for spinning purposes on the first day of September there was carried over from the past year 500,000 bales of Ameri- can cotton, this would have to be ship ped from the present growing crop 12,000,000 bales. If the present crop would ultimately show production of 100000 bales more than actually re- quired for consumption, then the only way to prevent too low prices is for farmers to hold ovef this surplus them selves, rather than throw it on the market and depress the price of the entire crop. There are in round num- bers about 1,500,000 head of blow stock engaged in the south. It would not be great hardship on the growers to hold back one bale of cotton per blow this winter and cut down the acreage next spring two acres to the blow, from which the 100000 bales held back from the crop of 1908 was pro- duced. Let us do a little figuring and see how it works out:
 Twelve million bales at lie, or $55 per bale, will amount to $660,000, ,000; 13,500,000 bales at Sc, or $45 per bale, will amount to $607, ,500,000 This calcu- lation shows a net loss of $52, ,000, Quo and 100000 bales of cotton thrown in by marketing a surplus of the crop at a price of 2c per pound less than the actual needs of consumption will show that it is much better to sell eight bales for $445 than sacrifice nine bales for S405. Each man would not only get more from tie few. CT bales sold, but would be in better financial shape to hold the extra bale per blow.
 The best way to put this plan into operation is to market only one twelfth of the years production each month and refuse to sell any more This will force the mills actively into the mark ct, prices will advance to good levels and the average price demanded for what is sold to the mills within the next ten months will be secured By next March the exact production of this years crop will be positively known, and under the system of slow selling each grower will know just what part of his crop should be carried over, if any, and the acreage next spring, correspondingly reduced.

The Bumper Problem.

The Jumper is one who sells his grain right from the field or his po- tatoes right from the patch or any oth- CT crop without regard to market con- ditions. The Jumper therefore is a problem. He may be compelled to sell In order to pay his bills. He may not have storage room. He may be in- clined to believe that bird in the hand is worth two in bush"
 Whatever may be the cause of sell ing, the fact that there are so many who do sell upon a glutted market makes it one of the most serious prob lens before the American farmer to- day.
 The Jumper who sells on a glut- ted market, or at time when con- sumers do not want it, not only suf- fers loss of price but all others who do hold are more or less affected by his acts. The grain or prodee gam blers are always ready with cash to buy up all they can get cheap. They are fixed to hold the stuff and sell on rising market. In most cases they can make the rise in price, The one who holds his grain gets the benefit of this rise but he would get better prices had there been no early gut of market.
 Take for example the egg trade. Eggs used to sell for five cents a dozen in summer and for 35 or 40 cents in winter The refrigerator en- abled the merchants to hold eggs for long time and that equalized the price because they were distributed through the season as was the demand Thus it is when the farmer can hold his grain, tobacco, or cotton and sell along as the market tempts him to sell. Instead of the middlemen get ting all the profits, the producers get their share.
 But the Jumper will not cease to exist until the conditions that make him a Jumper cease to exist There has got to be some means of tiding him over his great need of money There must be cooperative storehouses and elevators where the poor man can | put his grain and stuff He cannot af- ford to build them at home. There must be cooperative system of mon ey loans that will enable him to have ready money and still hold his crops in the cooperative warehouses. There must be cooperation among the pro- ducers just as there is among the mid | dle-men who gamble on his products.
 Whatever be the name of the organ ization that brings this about most effectually for your needs, get in line and all pull together to get the gam blers share and some of the middle mems profits.-Successfu Farming.

NEW DISTRICTS AND
 NEW RAIL WAYS
WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS BET. Y TER CONDITIONS THAN EVER
 FOR SETTLEMENT.

TO the Editor = Sir:-Doubtless many of your readers will be pleased to have some word from the grain nelds of Western Canada. where such a large number of Americans have Pnade their home during the past few years. It is pleasing to be able to re- port that generally the wheat yield mas been good; it will average about lz0 bushels to the acre. There will be many cases where the yield will go 50 bushels to the acre, and others where 50 bushels to the acre has been recorded. The cat and barley crop has been splendid. The prices Of all grains will bring to the farmers a magnificent return for their labors. An instance has been brought to my notice Of farmer in the Pincher creek (Southern Alberta) district where winter wheat is grown-who made net profit of $t9.55 per acre, or little less than the selling price of his land. 30, 40, and 50 bushel yields are recorded there. The beauty about the lands in Western Canada is that they are so well adapted to grain-raising, While the luXuriant grasses that grow everywhere in abundance make the best possible feed for fattening cattle or for those used for dairying pur- poses.
 The new homestead regulations which went into force September, 1908, attracted thousands of new settlers. It is now possible to secure 160 acres in addition to the 160 acres as a free grant, by paying $3.00 an acre for it. Particulars as to how to do this and as to the railway rates can be se- cured from the Canadian Government Agents.
 "The development throughout West ern Canada during the next ten years will probably exceed that of any other country in the worlds history" is not the statement of an optimistic Cana dian from the banks of the Saskatche- wan, but of MT Leslie M Shaw of New York, ex-Secretary of the United States Treasury under the late Presi- dent Mckinley and President Roose- welt, and considered one of the ablest fnanciers of the United States. Our railway companies sold good deal of their land at from three to five dol lars an acre, and now the owners are selling the same land at from fifty to seventy-five dollars, and buying more up in Canada at from ten to fifteen."
 The editor of the Monticello Iowa) Express made trip through Western Canada last August, and was greatly impressed. He says: One cannot cross Western Canada to the noun tains without being impressed with it's immensity of territory and it's future prospects. Where expected to find frontier villages there were substan- italy built cities and towns with every modern convenience It was former ly supposed that the climate was too severe for it to be thought of as an agricultural country, but it's wheat raising possibilities have been amply tested. We drew from Ontario many of our best farmers and most progress siye citizens Now the Americans are emigrating in greater numbers to Western Canada. Seventy-five per cent, of the settlers in that good coun- try located southeast of Moose Jaw and Regina are Americans Canada is well pleased with them and is ready to welcome thousands more."

Burning, Painful Sores on Legs Tortured Day and Night-Tried Many Remedies to No Avail
 --Cured by Cuticura.

"After an attack of rheumatism, running sores broke out on my hus- bands legs, from below the knees to the ankles. There are no words to tell all the discomforts and great suf- fering he had to endure night and day He used every kind of remedy and three physicians treated him, one after the other, without any good results whatever. One day I ordered some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent. He began to use them and in three weeks all the sores were died up. The burning fire stopped, and the pains became bear able. After three months he was quite well. can prove this testimonial at any time. Mrs. V. V. Albert, Upper Frenchville, Me, July 21. 1907."

TYPHOID LINGERS 1s YEARS.
Recent Outbreak at Georgetown Is
 Traced to Woman Milker.

Washington.-One of the most re- markable discoveries in medical his tory in connection with the source of the spread of typhoid fever has just been brought to light as the result of an investigation made by officers of the public health and marine hospital service into recent outbreak of that disease in Georgetown, or West Wash ingtOn, D. c.
 The investigation disclosed the fact that woman milker at a neighbor- ing dairy who had had typhoid fever IS years ago still throws off in her dejecta yirile typhoid fever bacilli and was the responsible agent in spread ing the disease. With one exception this is the first considerable outbreak of typhoid fever in the United States traced through virile to such a car Tier.
 A peculiar phase in connection with the case in the examination developed urge number of bacilli in the dejecta H the woman, although she apparent.

 'It probably doesn't do me any good" I said; but I'd have trouble quitting it."
 No, y'u. wouldn't. Smoke this He took from his vest pocket the fel- low to the stogey in his mouth and tossed it across the table to me. Ever hear how Bill Doolittle lived on ten cents a week."
 I confessed that Bills economies had never been brought to my atten tion.
 Wal" said Riddle, "he took dinner with friend on Sunday, an ate enough to last i'm till Wednesday Then he bought ten cents wuth O tripe, an he hated tripe so like thun der that it lasted i'm the rest O the week.

One of the chief advantages of the warehouse certificate plan of fnanc- ing cotton is that it will net depend upon universal adoption for it's sue cess. Of course, the more general 1t would be the more readily would the certificate be accepted by the bust. ness world. Let one county adopt it and the business interests of the ad. joining counties will be compelled tC do so, too in order to secure their part of the trade. In this manner it should spread from county to county until the entire South is covered by the system. However, if it should not be adopted in one section or county, that would not necessarily prevent it's successful operation in another, for the security behind the certi1cats is the very best there is.
