Successful Elsewhere.
DR.. Wilcox began by referring to sue
cessful cooperative associations on the
mainland. He spoke first of the neces-
sary fraternal' spirit that must ex-
list in all cooperative mercantile asso-
Citations
1.-The fraternal fea lure is the most
striking one of all the cooperative as
sociations that | have met with or
heard about in the various regions
where cooperation has been made a
success. 1t is, in fact, a ease of boost.
not only for yourself, but for the other
man as well, and that is the essence of
the great success achieved by many or
CARNATIONS.
DR.. Wilcox then spoke of the wool
len combination that is doing such a
great work in the Southwest The
producers are combined with the comb
ers and manufacturers, and the CON
sumers are also members of the com
bination They have it down to such
a fine point that the wool is produced,
milled and made into suits of clothes,
for which the wearers pay $14 a suit
that an ordinary retailer would charge
$40 for; and yet the association pays
a yearly dividend of 80 per cent.
Grain Cooperation.
The speaker then touched on the
success of the grain cooperative asso-
citation in the Middle West that had
thrown the gauntlet to the big manip-
ulators of Chicago and beaten them
out. BY putting level-headed men in
charge CT their business affairs they
have succeeded in growing, reaping
and marketing their grain at good
profit for everybody concerned, with
out having to pay Difference to the
supposititious market enforced by the
pit
The cotton, syrup, hay and fruit CO.
operative associations were referred to
in general, and then DR.. Wilcox paid
tribute to the orange growers of
Southern California as a great exam
pie of what intelligent cooperation
can do
''Not so many years ago the fruit
growers of the southern part of Cali
forrIa were having a very hard time
of it. They depended on the commits
sionf merchants to market their prod
ucts, and they usually found that the
balance was on the wrong side of the
ledger and that they had to pay
freight for the transportation of their
fruit instead of receiving payment for
it. Then they got together and organ
lied. The result has been that South
ern California has the most prosperous
fruit-raisers of any country in the
world.
cit was not only the combination
that did the work, but the fraternal
manner in which everybody boosted.
Now not a sample of fruit leaves Cal
iforria but it has been graded by ex
perts, SO that there is no chance for
the public to, pay high price for low
grade products. And not a case or
package leaves the State but it is
marked all over with the big sign

Hawaiian Possibilities.

Dr. Wilcox then touched on the vari-
Gus possibilities of marketing Hawaiian
products-coffee, rice, bananas, even
mangoes and the less known fruits
How many people on the mainland
know about the different kinds of ba-
nanas that are raised here?' he ask
ed. .'They know only about the ordi-
nary banana that is known as the
poor man s fruit Yet here we have
unlimited possibilities for raising this
fruit and have several different kinds
that are equally useful in different
ways in the household.
''The banana industry should be a
great one here, but it needs some body
on the mainland to have charge of the
marketing of the fruit and to let the
people know what they can get. Com
mission merchants often think it to
their advantage to misrepresent. Let
rs have saaried agents, paid by the
producers. who will feel the market,
spread the products to be sold over the
more eager buying eenters, and let the
consumers know that they may abso-
lutely depend on the word of the
agent.
DIR. Wilcox concluded by outlining
the possibilities of proper cooperation
on these Islands. He referred to the
combination which the big sugar people
have effected, and stated that the small
men must get together in the same way
and thus make the Territory of Hawaii
what it should be. place for the eneG-
getie and conscientious small farmer
to make not only living but money in.
How They Sell Pineapples.
Mr.. Higgins gave few statistics
with regard to the campaign of the
pineapple growers. He stated that the
fresh fruit could be delivered in San
Francisco for $50 a ton and in Chicago
for 500 a ton. The average selling
price in the latter place is at least $l0o
ton and so there was a good profit
| left for the fruit grower. as the differ
ence of $50 is a good price at the plan
| tation.
| Mr.. Higgins also stated that the rails
| ing OF grapefruit in Hawaii should be
very paying proposition if arrange
ments were made for the successful
marketing of the fruit. He stated that
! California had not found it very profit
! able. as the fruit was hard TO raise
there, but that the climate of tbs
+. Islands was ideal for grapefruit. He
concluded by making an appeal to those
| present to boost the cooperative plan
| and requested that some action be
| taken on the matter.

A CHARACTERIZATION.
OF Interest to Abilene Readers

For months Abilene citizens have
seen in these columns enthusiastic
praise of Doan's Kidney Pills by Abb
lene residents. Would these promi-
nent people recommend remedy that
had not proven reliable? Would
confirm their statements after years
had elapsed If personal experience
had not shown the remedy to be
worthy of endorsement? No stronger
proof of merit can be had than cures
that have stood the test Of time. The
following statement should carry con-
yiction to the mind of every Abilene
reader.
Mrs. Laura Miller, sos W. North
Sixth street, Abilene, Kan, says: Il
think as highly of Doan's Kidney
Pills today as when l endorsed them
in 1905. am glad to confirm all l
said at that time"
The statement referred 10 Oy Mrs.
Miller was as follows: Il can speak
in the highest terms of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, as they cured me Of an at
tack Of backache that had caused me
great suffering. Since using this
remedy, have been free from back
ache and my general condition has
been much better"
For sale by all dealers. Price 80
cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo,
New York, sole agents for the United
States.
Remember the name-Doan's-
and take no other.

ON A BUSINESS BASIS.
T, p. shonts Believes in Permanent
Tariff Bureau.

New York, May 6.-Theodore p
Shonts, president Of the Interboro
Metropolitan Railway system OF this
city, in an address, last night said:
Il advocate a periodical revision Of
the tariff in order that there may be
a redistribution Of burdens, releas'
ing from the protection of the tar1n
those Industries which have become
self sustaining and comforting the
advantages upon industries, either In
mature or by reason of hercer com
petition from abroad, less able to OBJ
tain that margin Of profit without
which no industry can long survive.
Nor should the needs of the consumer
be overlooked.
ITO place the revision on a bust
ness basis and to determine when
there should be that periodic revision
I believe we should create perman-
emit bureau, charged with collecting
and sitting technical information as
TO the state and necessities Of trade,
and with laying the results at regu-
lar intervals and in tangible from De-
fore congress-"

ARE NOT MAKING HEADWAY
SENATE PROCEEDING SLOWLY
WITH TARIFF BILL.
The Real Measure VIII Probably b
Framed In Conference.-The Al
lournment Before July.

Washington, May 6.-The POSSIBLE
tiles of the passage Of the tarin bill
and the adjournment Of the specia
session of congress before June II
or July / seems to have vanished
This conclusion has been reached BY
the president as result OF recent
talks with senators and representa-
tives, and he made 1t known yester
day.
The senate is not making the head
way with the Aldrich measure that
was expected and before the new
tariff law can be presented to the
president for his action there must
ensue a long conference between the
representatives of the two houses Of
congress.
Among those who have followed the
trend of important legislation on
the tariff, there is a belief that the
real tariff revision bill remains to be
framed in conference. Whatever In
tiuence President Taft feels he can
bring to bear in securing a satisfac'
tory measure will be exerted upon the
conferees. The president is averse
to being drawn into the fight at any
stage and there is no thought that
he will be until the conferees begin
their consideration of the two bills as
passed by the house and senate.
In view Of conflicting reports as to
the presidents attitude on the varl-
Gus special taxation propositions that
have been suggested in connection
with the new bill, the president has
reiterated his position to recent call,
ers. He is still hopeful that the reve'
nue. to be derived from the new bill
and with economies in the administra-
ton of the government, will prove
sufficient to prevent a deficit.

STARTLING Story
II 10 CHARGED THAT CREW or
AMERICAN WHALING SHIP
ARE IN PRISON.
THOUGHT TO Be LOST At SEA
Sailed Into Venezuelan Port In Die
tress Five Years Ago-The Men
Held Close Prisoners
since.

Kingstown, st. Vincent, B. W. ?.
May cit may be that Capt. Collir
Stephenson, and the crew OF thu
American whaling ship Carrie D
Knowles, long since thought to have
been lost at sea, are still alive In 8
Venezuelan prison. An American
seaman, who gives the name OF Payne
an escaped prisoner from Venezuela
has made his way to KingstoWn
where he laid before the authorities
an astounding story Of the seizure Oh
the Carrie D. Knowles at q Vene
zuelan port, where she arrived fve
years ago In distress and the incar
ceration by the Venezuelans OF Se
captain and his men.
So convinced are the authorities
here that there Is truth In Paynes
story that they have taken down his
full statement and have already taken
steps looking to a speedy and thor
ough investigation OF the case.
On January 81, 1904, the Carrie D.
Knowles sailed from Provincetown'
Mass, on whaling voyage. Her cap
tain was Collin Stephenson and her
first mate H. A. Martin. In addition
she carried crew Of about dozen
men, These are the names as given
by Payne to the authorities here and
as far as he could remember the
names of the members of the crew:
Wallace, Warner, Robertson, HAZEL,
Sam, Davis, Pierre, Grant, Lewis and
John. Payne asserts positively that
all of these men are at the present
time confined in Venezuelan prison.
The vessel was supposed to have
been lost In a West Indian storm with
all hands. Some Of the men belonged
in St. Vincent, and after all hope was
given up Of their return, their rela-
tives put on mourning, and the local
insurance company eventually paid
the claims against 1t, on the assump-
ton that the sailors were dead.
The Story Payne told to the police
yesterday caused great excitement
not only because Of the seriousness OF
the charges against the Venezuelan
authorities, but because 1t added an
other to the many tales which have
reached st. Vincent concerning the
high handed methods adopted by the
Venezuelans under the administration
Of Castro.
