AS TO ORGANIZATION.
To the Cotton Growers OF Wayne
County.

There will be q meeting of the Cot
ton Growers Association in the court
house in this city on Friday, March
6, at 1870 p. m.
I desire a full meeting on this occa-
sion. You have stood well together;
by your ~faithfulness you have helped
to meet the combined forces against
you. There has been no time since
your organization when the cotton
consuming world needs to be impress
ed more emphatically with the fact
that there is a distinct difference be-
tween cotton on paper and bales of
cotton.
If one hundred thousand bales of
good cotton in the South was to go up
in smoke today the price would likely
not advance more than one fourth of a
cent, but If the eighty thousand bales
to distress the market was in the
depths OF the sea, the market would
not stop at three cents per Id advance.
1t may be. that on account OF the
combinations of circumstances that the
highest expectation Of some m not
be reached, but we see no apparent
reason why the market will not reach,
before a great while, as high a price as
we have had this season..
This is no time to get uneasy and
rock the boat: sit still and let those
who want to deliver cotton so cheap
see if they can do SO. Show no white
flag now. Come to the meeting and
heal discussions about conditions.

Pres. Wayne County G. G.. A.

WOMEN WAGE voorhees,.

The United States Supreme Court
has upheld as constitutional the Ore
gon statute providing that no woman
or girl shall be employed in any me-
chanical establishment, factory or
laundry more than ten hours a day.
This is considered an advance step in
judicial Interpretation. Ter years ago
the corporation or employers view
would have been upheld. The right to
contract would have been stoutly main
tanned regardless OF the police powers
of a State-those powers that make for
health, safety, morals and the general
welfare.I
The decision OF the court was written
by Justice Brewer, and he took the
position that the sexes differ, and the
future welfare of the race calls for diff
ference in legislation. Laws for the
protection of women can, in other
words, be sustained when similar laws
applied to men could not be.
This decision reaches far beyond the
Oregon statute, for Is other States have
passed laws for the protection of wo-
men engaged in gainful occupations,
and the hope is now freely expressed
that every State will wisely limit the
hours of work for wage-earning wo-
men.

GETTING CHILDREN TO CHURCH.

The mother of seven sons, three
Of whom were ministers of the gos-
pei, one United States senator, and
the rest prominent business men, said
recently:
"When my boys were small, my
toilet on Sunday morning was fire.
Quently completely under cover Of a
circular while on the way to church,
but always got my seven little
men to morning service!"
A hercalean task! some of us,
whose families are smaller, will ex-
claim. But it really is not so, if
prepare tiuns are commenced in time.
and that time is Saturday night. Get
the children to bed full hour earlier
than usual on that evening. After
a long days play out Of doors, they
really require more rest See thai
they get it, that there may be no
sleepy heads on Sunday morning.
But it is just as important that the
mother should wake up on that morn
ing with no, dragging trail Of weari-
ness from the day before. Just this
| little thread of exhaustion makes the
| task of dressing the children seem
| interminable. Even if some duties
| have to remain undone until Monday
get to bed in sufficient season to
secure a good long nights rest on
Saturday night. Saturday is always
| a firing day, anyhow: But do not
! allow it's claims to take too much
of your yitalitss. Remem Der that the

children and learned to speak better
English. Besides this Mrs. Ormsby
taught her to cook and sew and to do
housework.
When Sarah was fifteen years old
she made the long 500-mile journey to
California once more with her broth
ers and sister and her grandmother.
Her brothers took care Of cattle for
good Mr.. Scott, who had known and
loved Chief Winnemucca, and he gave
them good wages, several fine horses,
and two ponies for Sarah and Mary to
ride. The sisters had always ridden
bareback like Indian men, but when
Christmas came Sarah was surprised
to find beautiful Mexican side-sad-
die from her brother Lee, and she
learned to ride like the white ladies',
and was very proud and happy
Now the Piutes always would wan
der about They lived by hunting and
fishing, not by farming, so they
moved from place to place wherever
there was game. When they were in
the mountains rough white settlers
came to Pyramid lake and caught al
most all of the fish with nets, so that
there were no fish when the Indians
returned. This made the Indians an
CRY, and so trouble began. All this
time Sarah was in California. Her
father, Chief Winnemucca Second, and
her mother were in Nevada, and she
| often heard good news from them, but
/ one spring when she was seventeen
years old two Indians came bringing
the news from her father that he was
IN the mountains and wanted all his
| children to come to him, but especially
Sarah.
Starting on their ponies they began
the journey, riding beside the wagon
where the grandmother rode. 1t took
twenty-five days to reach Carson City.
but here their father and mother met
them, and next day all went to see
Gov. Nye, whom Sarah told in English
I what her father, the chief, wanted to
say.
Gov. Nye was very jolly and good,
and when he knew how things really
were he told the white settlers not to
interfere with the Indians, and sent
soldiers from the fort to drive the
rough men away; so Gov. Nye and
Chief Winnemucca became good
friends, as they never could have been
but for little Toc-me-to-ne and her
bright interpretations
|. For the next year Sarah talked
both Piute and English, and settled
many little troubles. She was called
friend both by the Indians and sol
diers, and her father and she thought
often Of old Chief Winnemucca's
words and kept peace with their white
brothers.

An
Indian Princess.
Tcc-me.to-ne Was a Friend Of Both the
Indians and The White Men.
From Gen. o. o. Howard's "Famous
Indian Chiefs" in st. Nicholas.

We called her Sarah Winnemucca,
Of the mint family? Well, Toe -me-to-
which means shell-flower. Have you
ever seen these flowers growing in an
old garden among their many cousins
of the mint family? Well, Tocme-to-
ne loved them of all flowers best, for
was she not herself a shen-fower?
Her people were Piute Indians, and
they lived in every part of what is
now the great state of Nevada.
Toc-me-to-ne had flower name, so
she was followed to take part in the
children's flower festival, when all
the little girls dance and sing, holding
hands and making believe that they
are the very flowers for which they
are named. They wear their own flow
res, too, and after they have sung to-
gether for a while one will dance Off
on the grass by herself while all the
boys and girls look on and she sings:
am daisy gold and white
Somebody catch meme!
The grown-up people watch, too, as
their children play, and Toc-me-to-ne
was never happier than when, light as
a bird, she danced and sang her she'll
flower song:
See me- see me, a beautiful flower,
Give me hand and dance.
Then after the plays and dancing
the children had all sorts of good
things to eat, and the flower festival
was over for a year.
Only three times did Toc-me-to-ne
take part in the flower festival, for
when she was quite little girl her
grandfather, Chief Winnemucca, took
his family and went to live INK Cali

was almost grown up.

DOLLY.

DOLLY.
Dolly, my Dolly, your sweet blue
eyes
Look ON the world with a glad sur
prise;
And the tangled mass of your golden
hair
Falls on your neck so white and fair,
AS you quietly sit, and all the while
Your blue eyes CLEAN and your sweet
lips smile.
What are your thoughts, my Dolly,
pray,
AS you sit on your cushions the live
long day?
Do you wonder where the violets
hide
Till spring returns to the mountain
side?
Or where the little fishes dream
When winter has frozen each lake
and stream?
Dolly, where do the roses go
When the ground is covered with
feathery SNOW?
Where are the daisies and primroses
sweet
When winter comes with his skate
bound feet?
Where do the swift-winged swallows
fly
When clouds o'ercome the stormy
sky?
One thing know, that, great and
small
They are loved and cared for, one
and all.
There is not a bird on its swift villa
wing,
Nor a fragrant bud of the early
spring,
Nor a little child in her warm home
nest
That is not cherished and loved and
blest.

He made His work intensive, training
a few men and women, who did not

after His death, that they and those

He could not save the world alone.
A thousand people we're probably con-
verted by Paul's preaching to one by
Cnrist's. Panl's soul was full Of hap

of his body, as he realized how essen

for him to do what Jesus had not
done. If he could not do it in one

every real Christian since has been
adding to Paul's contribution. Just
so much self-denying effort must be
actively put forth, just so much pain
must be passively borne for others
before every phase of the redemption
plan is filled out and the great day of
atonement is ushered in, when every
knee shall bow and every tongue con-
fess Jesus as the Christ to the glory
of God the Father.
In proportion then, as you do your
part will this kingdom of God be es-

responsibility for its delay! Chris

A man is just as old as he feels and
no older. With the saner ways OF
living and the steady gains in sanl-
tation the bounds of useful activity
are being set further and turther
back. Youth is no longer a matter
of teens and twenties.
