OFFERED TO TEST
Meters FOR FEE
New York Proposition Accepted
by Some Local Merchants.
No Kick on Bills.

Electrical engineers and officials OF
the Passenger and Power Company
have shown great interest In tile report
that contracts had been made between
the Retail Merchants Association and
representatives OF a New York COL
Germ, the latter guaranteeing members
NIL the power, for which they were
charged by means OF a special meter
test. Members OF the Retail Merchants
Association said last night that the
organization had not engaged the In
spector as a body. although indivtdu-
ais who were large users OF electric
current had done so.
The matter was discussed at meet
ing of the association. and tho ques-
ton was raised as to the rights OF an
outsider to test meters here, commit
tee being appointed to consult city
Electrician Thompson as to city ordl-
nances bearing on the subject.

Merely Checklnx up peslgn.

Mr.. Thalhimer. chairman OF this
subcommittee. said last night that he
had had several conferences with Mr..
Gambler, Of the Passenger and Power
Company, and stated that he was in
clined to agree with the position taken
by the company that no outside in
spector should be allowed to tinker
With the meters unless an officer OF
the company was present.
The action by the retail merchants
was not so much to ;ndorse the out
side inspector as 1t was to protect our
own meters and the local electricians
until the inspector can establish his
competency ITO the satisfaction of the
city electrician" said Mr.. rhalhimer.
II do not think there will be any large
number who will desire the inspection,
as have heard few complaints
against the company"

A SOUTHERN ROTATION.

If an East Texas farmer plants on a field cotton one year, corn and peas the next year, and then oats followed by peas the third year, he not only has an excellent three-year rotation, but grows five crops in three years two of them restorative crops. Where cotton can be matured And gathered early it might be a good plan to have the oats follow the cotton. Corn and peas leave the land very dry, and oats come up much better If sown on the land that has been we'll worked in cotton. It might be well to SOW oats after one of the pickings and cover them with a cultivator run be- tween the rows.
 Different crops do not require diff ferent elements of plant food. They all require the same elements, but they use them in different proportions. Therefore, one kind of crop may tenn pOrarily exhaust the soil of one ele- ment and cease to grow well, while another crop can still do we'll. But the greatest benefit of this or any other rotation arises from the restora- tive crops grown, and the great amounts of nitrogen the bacteria en- able them to get from the air.-Green- vile (Tex) Banner.

Fraunces' Tavern, Restored.

roof indicating the top of the walls and the slope and height of the roof were found in the walls. The differ ence in the bricks in the walls also helped to determine what portion was old and what modern. It will be ob- served that the wall fronting on Broad street is of thin yellow bricks. These are the same kind as are found in the old Dutch church in Tarrytown. In order to secure an additional supply to fill up the opening on the first floor they had to be made to order in a yard in Holland where bricks of the same size and kind are still made. The bricks on the Pearl street side are red. As they are an inch longer and some what thinner than the bricks made today it was only by searching through many yards, tape measure in hand, and picking up abnormal bricks that enough could be secured to piece out" the original wall By such means the old building was put back into a shape that would probably be recog nized by Black Sam" Fraunces if he should appear to-day.
 The property, which is now used as the headquarters of the Sons of the Revolution in New York, represents an expenditure of nearly $150,000, the restoration alone having cost nearly $60,000. It is looked upon as a me- morial of Frederick s. Tallmadge, who was the president of the society, and bequeathed to it a sum sufficient to pay the cost of restoration. The tab let on the outside of the building commemorates his name and contains his portrait, as well as a history of the building.

GOT TO PULL THROUGH.

If we pull, as surely we will, through this crisis, the country will be bet tered by the struggle. However, it will only be the few who will profit by it. Natures law of compensation it might be more comprehensive to say, natures law of checks-alWays rights things that seem out of joint. Extravagance is sure to come to want, and the struggle the latter brings fits the mind to better conceptions of the necessity of good management. There should be no such thing as a mean, illiberal disposition in human nature, but there is; yet economy in all things should be employed. The grasplnS tendency of the times leads some to illiberality, while the extravaganza of others, usually of those of moderate means, leads them only to rigid exac- tions to squander or to pacify every trivial desire.-F. U. Guide.

The Tenant Pays the Taxes.

When we hear man talking about tenants having no taxes to pay we want to be a giant long enough to pick him mp and paddle him. A good little padding would help a man who won't try to get his eyes half open so as to see that the tax money is created by the labor of the tenant, and simply passes into the public treasury through the hands of the landlord. What would a landlord want tenants for if they didn't make money for him to pay taxes with? The Journal wants the tax on big land holdings made so high that the landlord will have to turn loose extra land, renters and all, and go to work and make his own money. That kind of chastise- ment would soon teach him who it is that really pays the taxes. Farmers Journal.

Simply because we have not made everything a full-fedged success that we have undertaken, don't think we have either failed or have anything even to discourage. This is the larg- est organization on earth, and as it seeks to have to do with matters that all the people of earth depend upon, it is natural that many qualifications can not be controlled for even years.

DiversificatiOns carried to it's final re- duction is the raising of everything you possibly can that tends to good living on the home place.

FARMERS EDUCATIONAL
 AND
 COOPERATIVE UNION - OF AMERICA
A TEXANS PLEA FOR HOMES.
Tenants Are Wanderers and Sojourn-
 CTS Only.


 A home, a place to call your own, a place where the rent collector dare not intrude and the landlord say you must move The Farmers Union has all along through it's army of lectur- CTS tried to arouse the people to a point where they would think along the line of home owning. It is very important subject and one which ev- cry man who has any patriotism ought to consider. Well" says one, what are you going to do about it?" I will answer by asking you what are you going to do about it?
 To use a common expression, it's up to you. If you will take the trou- ble to inform yourself little you will find that about 69 per cent of the peo- pie of the great State of Texas are absolutely homeless, simply wander CTS without a place to call their own, paying one-fourth to one-half of their labor each year for the privilege of living in board shanty with a leaky roof. A large per cent of alleged land holders are in almost as bad condi- tion as the renter. They, too, are paying a large per cent of their labor each year to Eastern capitalists, loan associations, etc. The Farmers Un- ion believes that by organization and cooperation better state of affairs can be brought about. If the farmer can reach the point where he can price his labor he will not remain homeless long, and he can reach that point only by thorough organization. We appeal to all good citizens to join us in our efforts to bring about better conditions.-J. A. Cole, in Greenville (Tex.) Banner.
