Holmes "only salvation" failed
him.
In that desperate moment when,
after he had struck down his wife
and had found that she was dying,
he turned to find his 12-year-old
son, Howard, gazing at him with
Mortified eyes, he had cried out:
Don't say anything. You are
my only salvation"
In Judge Brentano's court,
where Holmes is on trial for his
life, his son took the stand. The
boy looked at his father and the
father stared at the boy. Then the
lad said:
Judge, I'll tell you all about
it."
He told the story amid sobs and
tears and pitiful looks at his faith
er, but he told 1t with directness
and his tears only added the
weight of sincerity to his story.
Holmes heard the boys story
without culver, although no one
in the court room knew better
than he how near it brought him
to conviction. AS the child went
on he turned his eyes away from
him and gazed wistfully out of the

PRESIDENT URGES FARMERS
TO COOPERATE

calling public attention to the
needs and the facts. For exam
pie, It is the obvious duty of the
government to call the attention
of farmers to the growing monop-
olization of water power. The
farmers above all should have that
power, on reasonable terms, for
cheap transportation. for lighting
their homes, and for innumerable
uses In the daily tasks on the
farm.
1t would be idle to assert that
life on the farm occupies as good
a position in dignity, desirability,
and business results as the farm
ers might easily give 1t IL they
chose.
Cooperative Plan.
1t Is true that country life has
improved greatly in attractiveness,
health, and comfort, and that the
farmers earnings are higher than
they were. But city life is advanc-
ling even more rapidly, because of
: the greater attention which Is be-
ing given by the citizens of the
towns to their own betterment.
For just this reason the intro
duction of effective agricultural
Incorporation throughout the Unit
ed States Is of the first import
ance. Where farmers are or
ganized comparatively they not
only avail themselves much more
readily Of business opportunities
and improved methods, but 1t is
found that the organizations
which bring them together in the
work of their lives are used also
for social and intellectual advance
ment.
The CO operative plan is the best
plan of organization wherever
men have the right spirit to carry
| it out.
Needs.
It is of the first Importance that
the United States department of
agriculture, through which as
prime agent the ideas the commits
sion stands for must reach the peo-
|ple, should become without delay
in fact a department of country
life, fitted to deal not only with
crops, but also with all the larger
aspects of life in the open coun-
try.
From all that has been done and
learned three great general and
Immediate needs of country life
stand out:
First, effective cooperation
