Another Successful Pool

The Warren County Society of
Equity has successfully carried
through another pool of farm pro-
ducts. This time it was the wool of
the county. When the tobacco crop
was so successfully disposed of, the
society went to work to interest the
wool growers in the subject of CO.
operating in the sale Of the wool
crop of the county. The wool grow
ers responded until about 80 per cent
Of all the wool in the county was
placed in the pool. This week the
sales were effected at prices rang
ing from % cents to 324 cents per
pound, and the bulk at the highest
rather than the lowest price. This
is the highest price that could be ex.
pected, and much more than could
have been secured by individual eff
fort. The buyers were pleased to
know that they could secure tn,
crop without dealing with but ont
party, and the price was made cor
responding higher. The deliverie
are being made both at Bowling
Green and at Oakland, and the bid
ders will pay cash on delivery.
The good results of organization
by producers is thus so clearly Show
that oneds at loss to understand VIII,

New Albany, Ind, May 19.-An
automobile in which Mrs. Grinstead,
wife Of Mayor James F. Grinstead,
of Louisville. two women compan-
ions and a boy, were passengers,
with Mrs. Grinstead at the wheel.
went over 50-foot embankment at

through fence and broke several
saplings, but did not overturn.
When it stopped on the bank of the
creek it was in an upright position
and Mrs. Grinstead still chung to the
wheel. The first twenty feet of the
descent was a sheer drop through
the air, but each member of the
party kept his seat. The front axle
was broken and the car was rugged
up the bank with block and tackle
today. Mrs. Grinstead said she
guided the machine toward the curb
ing to avoid wagon, but could not
explain the accident.

1.-THE manufacturers have no right
to demand, as a matter of protection
to them, that the farmer should not
be permitted to sell his tobacco in
the natural leaf to whomsoever he
pleases. When the Internal Revenue
laws were enacted, the government
was not placed under obligation new
er to change the system. 1t made
no promise to manufacturers that
the farmers should not be permitted
to sell their tobacco in the natural
leaf to the consumers through the
instrumentalities Of their vendors.

SENATOR PAINTER
Extracts From a Tobacco
Speech In the Senate
May 18th.

"Those for whom / shall plead to
be relieved from a grievous burden,
hope only for a triumph over their
oppressors by producing a convic-
ton in your minds that their de-
mands are just. In behalf of their
fellow citizens, who earn their bread
by honest toll, l ask only for fair
and just law one that will answer
their demand for relief and remove
the present oppressive burden, which,
ina large degree, is made possible
by the law of the land.
/ speak for the farmers and their
laborers and tenants who are en-.
gagged in raising tobacco. The rea-
son l earnestly invite the attention
of the senate to the question, is be-
cause so many Senator's do not rep
resent States where tobacco isl
grown, hence they have not had the
opportunity to be informed as to the
real condition of tobacco growers
and as to the justice of the law
which they demand"
What the tobacco grower desires
is the privilege Of selling his tobacco
in the natural leaf to the consumers;
that this privilege may be exercised
by selling it to tobacco dealers and
they BIZ permitted to sell it to the
without the payment OF
tax. | am glad to be able to inform
the Senate that the House of Repre-
sentatives has, on at least two occa-
sions, passed a bill granting this
to the tobacco growers"
There are many other transac-
tions of the tobacco combination
that mark its triumphal march to
victory over all of its competitors.
The statement of the facts showing
it's achievement staggers credulity,
appals the Imagination, and creates
in the mind of the thoughtful lover
of his country apprehension of the
dangers which may come to the peo-
pie by combination and misuse of
colossal fortunes"

Doctors Versus Lawyers.

in the witness box in murder trials,
and often they get paid back in
their own COIN A case is recalled
where the lawyer, after exercising
all the tangling tactics without eff
feet, looked quizzically at the doc
tor who was testifying and said:
You will admit that doctors
sometimes make mistakes, won't
you?"
.-Oh, yes; the same as lawyers"
was the cool reply.
And doctors mistakes are
buried six feet under ground" was
the lawyers triumphant reply.

Left Parson with Victory.

A west of England parson once re-
fused to read the Athanasian creed.
The parishioners complained to the
bishop. who told the parson he must
read it. Now it so happened that the
creed may be said or sung" so on
the following Sunday. the parson ad.
dressed his congregation thus: Next
follows Athanasius' creed, either to be
said or sung, and, with heavens leave
7 will sing it. Now, clerk, mind what
you are about" After this they both
struck up and sang it with great glee
to fox-hunting tune, which, having
previously been practiced, was well
performed. The indignant parishion-
,ers sent word hot haste to the bishop
about what had happened, but he said
ne could do nothing, as the creed had
been sung, so the parishioners decided
to dispense with it altogether in flu
ture.-London Opinion.

The Business Instinct.

A small Detroit boy was given a
drum for a Christmas present, and
was beating it vociferously on the
sidewalk, when a nervous neighbor
appeared and asked: How much
did your father pay for that drum,

twenty-five cents, sir" was the
reply.
will you take dollar for it ?"
ooh, yer, SIR said the boy Gag
erly. Ma said she hoped I'd sell
it for ten cents"
The exchange was made, and the
drum put where it wouldn't make
any more noise, and the nervous
man chuckled over his stratagem.
But to his horror, when he got
home that night, there were four
drums beating in front of his
house, and as he made his appear
ance, the leader stepped up and
said, cheerfully: These are my
cousins, sir. 1 took that dollar and
bought four new drums. Do you
want to give us 81 for them ?"
The nervous neighbor rushed in
to the house in despair, and the
drum corps is doubtless beating
yet in front of his house.

LOST REGISTERED LETTERS
FOUND IN QUEER PLACE
MISSED From . MangIed Mail Bag,
They are Recovered From
Car Trucks

Car Trucks.
1t does not always follow that the
disappearance of registered mail
packages indicate robbery of the
mail. This was demonstrated on
The Overland Limited train No. 2
Friday, November 5th, when a pack
age of five registered letters from
Schuyler disappeared between that
point and Omaha.
The recovery of the lost package
was as strange as its disappearance.
The Schuyler pouch is picked up
from a crane by means of a pouch
catcher as the train passes This
pouch catcher is attached to the mail
car and hooks onto the pouch sus-
pended from the crane as the train
passes. In this particular instance
the pouch catcher did not make a
good catch and the pouch fell under
the wheels of the train and was cut
in two The mail was scattered along
the track for a considerable distance,
but the five registered letters, which
were in packet, could not be found
when the other mail was picked up.
The impression at once prevailed that
the registered package had been found
and kept by some one and it was re-
ported as lost.
Postoffice Inspector L. A. Thomp-
son was started out to investigate. His
first visit was to Council Bluffs to
make inquiries of the postal clerks
on the car, and scarcely had he
reached there when he received word
that the registered package had been
found by the car cleaner resting snug
ly on the trucks under the dining
car, where it had been blown or
thrown when the mail pouch was
flung under the wheels at Schuyler.
That the package was not injured
in the slightest, nor Jared from it's
position on the trucks, is simply an
other tribute to the Union Pacific's
unsurpassed roadbed and perfect track.
