regular business was attended to, one
important thing being settled. The
company will install dividing boxes
in bitches and also weirs so that the
amount of water due each man can
be given. Quite a number of the
stockholders were present and they
also held proxies from their friends

AS UNDERSTOOD IN BOSTON
The Traditional Episode of Little Miss Muffet" Brought Into
 Everyday Coenizance.

A diminutive specimen of juvenile femihinity yclept Miss Muffet had placed herself in aaaktting posture upon an article of household furniture ordinarily termed an ottoman or has sock
 Ministering to the qualification of her gustatory organs by ingurgitating the coagulated portion of bovine lac teal fluid mingled with the watery serum of the same which remains after the coagulated portion has been segregated and withdrawn
 Happening to glance downward she observed that specimen of 1he genus Aranea, class Arachnida, remarkable for it's ability to produce filaments of extraos dinary tenuity from it's own in terror, haG taken a position upon the ottoman or hassock in immediate prox- unity.
 Which totally unexpected incident aroused her apprehension to such an eNtent that she immediately. not to say precipitately, arose from her sit ting posture and departed from the To- eality, leaving the intruder in undis- puted possession of the apartment.

FARMERS, HOLD YOUR COTTON
Texas Crop Will Fall Below Two Mil lion Bales and Price of Staple
 Is Bound to Advance

MT. Joe E. Edmonson, lecturer and organizer of the Texas Farmers union, in a communication published in the Co-Operator, advises the farm CTS of Texas to hold their cotton for higher prices. He says, in part:
 As one of your officials and one whose work carries me all over Texas, and having been in three other states within the last month, and also hay ing attended the Farmers union na- tional convention in September, I be- lieye that I am in a position that af- lords me fair idea of the actual con dition of the present cotton crop.
 The outlook of the market, I will say first, that Texas will not average bale to five acres, and as there is something less than 10,000,OO0 acres in cotton in Texas, it will be impos- sible for Texas to makee 2,00O, 900 bales this year.
 While at the national convention. which was composed of farmers from every cotton growing state in the south, I learned that the crop would be short in almost every state. In fact it was the opinion of all present that it would be impossible for this crop to exceed 9,500,O00 bales, but that it was very probable for it to pass the 9,000,000 mark, and it is ad. mitted by the manufacturers that the world will need for another years con sumption at least 13,500,000 bales of American cotton, and it is safe to say that we will not reach that mark by at least 4,000,00O bales.
 This being true there is no tell. ing where the price will go to. but it is safe to say that it will go much higher than at present In my opiu- ion now is one of the most opportune times in the history of the south for the farmers to hold their cotton with almost an absolute assurance of get ting much higher price. I would advise all farmers who can hold their cotton of the market at pres. ent. and when ready to tell turn ioose gradually.

HARD WORK IS A NECESSITY
People Are Just Beginning to See lm- portance of Union-IdIeness
 Should Be Discouraged.

In letter to the Texas Farm Co., Operator, H. Bucher Lewis, secretary of the East Arkansas union, says in part as follows:
 The crop conditions in this, the eastern part of the state, are the shortest that we have had in 25 years. In many places the corn is an abso- lute failure, and the cotton will only make one-third of the average crop.
 Our union has been running for the last four or five months, and it seems that the people are just now begin ming to see the importance of the unions. It is hoped that one of the agricultural schools will be located near here, so our people may have access to it that they may learn the value of diyersifcation as it really is
 We have a district union and we hope to establish a trade agency through which we shall be able to handle all farm products, as well as to purchase farm machinery at good advantage to the farmers
 We will hold our annual conyen- tion of this district union in January at Forest City
 Now, brothers, this is the begin ming of another great political strug- gle and you will be visited by the fel- lows that want office But don't get confused by his speech, but instead re- member that the farmers are the ma jority and there is no reason why we should not dictate who should make the laws by giving your support to only those whom you know to be your friends in both the state legislature beyond doubt that every fellow is looking out for himself and why should not the farmer do the same? It is a kell-known fact that there are more people trying to live without work than any other way. and that is one reason why we should be on our guard I think every man should be employed in some legitimate work that he may enjoy the fruits of his labor.
 'T once read a fable which ran like this A young Greek student went to the king and told him he could make all the food his people needed without work. The king told him to get busy and he did so, and as soon as the people learned they could live without work they all agreed to quit work, and as result the physicians left the hospitals and the sick died. The grave digger quit digging graves and the streets were filled with the dead The judge and the police quit work and anarchy soon had full sway. The whole country was laid waste. A wise man saw the great evil this Greek student had done and killed him in order to save the rest of the people. Now. brothers, let's not en- courage idleness, but insist on all doing some useful work"

 The well-being of the people is like a tree: Agriculture is it's root, manu- facture and commerce are it's leaves and branches. If the root is injured the leaves fall and the branches break away, leaving the tree to ultimately die.

RASH ALL OVER BOYS BODY.
Awful, Crusted, Weeping Eczema on Little Sufferer-A Score of Treat. ments Prove Dismal Failures.
Cure Achieved by cuticura.

My little boy had an awful rash all over his body and the doctor said it was eczema. It was terrible, and used to water awfully. Any place the water went it would form another sore and it would become crusted. A score or more physicians failed utterly and dis mally in their efforts to remove the trouble. Then I was told to use the Cutieura Remedies. I got cake of Cuticura Soap, box of Cuticura Oint- ment and a bottle of Cuticura Re solvent, and before we had used half the Resolvent I could see a change in him.
