All over the country truck and fruit
growers are taking action for close,
union, with the view of putting III
their products i'll better and more at
tractive packages. They are also en-
deayoring TO secure proper inspection
and grading of their products before
shipment. Fruit and truck growers of
California and Florida secure profit
able prices for their products because
they are put on the market in the
best possible condition, and are so
packed as to prove attractive TO the
consumer. When Texas fruit and
truck growers learn to do this their
returns will be greater than in the
past.

Paper From Cotton Stalks.

At last, SO it is reported, the cotton
stalk is to have commercial value. A
company has been formed in Atlanta
for the purpose of making printing
paper out of this hitherto worthless
weed of the winters farm. Simulta-
neously with this announcement
comes the news from tie wood pu p
fields. both in Wisconsin and Canada,
that, owing TO the long crouth, the
output of paper has been reduced
one-half of the usual normal supply,
Thus it is that the cotton stalk. a
despised and troublesome adjunct OF
the Southern plantation after the
feecy stap,e has been picked from it,
may come forward, not only to re-
lieve the publishers of the country
but to add to the treasury OF the
farmer, if it be true that paper can
be made from the stalks then the
rapidly diminishing forests of the
Northwest will be spared the raw
ages from the AMMAN
1t was not SO long ago that the seed
from cotton was wasted because
there was no demand for them. Now
cotton seed bring almost as much
revenue per acre as the cotton itself.
The oil is bottled and labeled as II
1t had come from Italy, and used by
many OF our fashionable restaurants
for salads and other culinary pur-
poses. From the hulls we make fer
tilizers. And now, IL the stalks can
be converted into paper the day for
commercial independence for the
Southern planter has arrived:-Ex-

The Most Interesting Discussion.

The most interesting and animated
Farmers Union Convention was that
which followed the report of the COM
mittee on minimum price of cotton All
were agreed as to the principles in
volved and the price which ought to
prevail, but as to the best policy to
pursue to bring about the desired re-
suit there were differences Of opin-
ion The question was discussed, how
ever, in fraternal spirit and no bit
terness was left as the result of the
contest 1t seems to be not a ques-
ticn yet of getting what cotton is
worth, but of securing the best price
possible until the farmers become well
enough educated to know what it costs
to produce the staple. Hence, it is
to be hoped that the action of the con-
vention will be. acceped and Loyalty
adhered to and that no one will crowd
the market, even should the price be
reached.
There must be loyalty on the part
of the membership if the Farmers I'm
ion is ever to succeed as it has the op-
portunity to do. Personal indepen-
dence and democracy are all right in
politics, but the business organization
or institution which succeeds has a
head which can originate policies and
direct their execution.

NAME OF JEFF DAVIS
WILL BE RESTORED TO TABLET
ON CABIN JOHN BRIDGE.
Story Of How cognomen Of President
Of the confederaey Was obIIter-
ated from Structure During
Civil War.

Washington.-The following order
was issued recently:
The secretary of war, by direction OF
the president, has instructed the chief of
engineers OF the United States army to
take the necessary steps to restore the
name of Jefferson Davis as secretary OF
war to Cabin John Bridge.
Cabin John Bridge is a great stone
arch, until recently the largest in the
world, spanning a picturesque gorge in
the upper Potomac valley, seven miles
west of Washington. This arch sup
ports the aqueduct through which the
water supply of Washington flows and
also serves as a highway bridge on
that much-traveled way-the Conduit
road. The mutilation OF the arch has
been commented on by millions of peo-
pie and although the subject is an. old
one the real story of the erasure of
Davis name has only lately been told
The erasure has been variously
charged to Gen. Montgomery c. Meigs,
chief engineer of the construction of
the Washington aqueduct. and to Ed
win M. Stanton, secretary of war I'M
der President Lincoln. Neither OF
these was responsible. The order for
the erasure of the name was given by
Caleb r. Smith, secretary of the Ia
terror, in June, 1862.
William r. Hutton. who was an en-
gineer in the aqueduct construction,
and who became chief engineer of
the work, has given the following &C
count:
I'm June, 1862, at the request of the
secretary of the interior, Caleb r..
Smith, to whose department the aque-
duct had just been transferred. / ac-
companied the secretary and num-
Der of members of congress to inspect
the aqueduct. We went up by boat on
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal.
Opposite Cabin John several of the
party disembarked and walked to the
uncompleted bridge for a nearer view.
Secretary Smith remained on the
boat. Returning in hot haste, Galusha

Teaching In Chile.

The Chilean government is rapidly
adopting educational methods along
the lines of those obtaining in the
United States. 1t may be said, also,
that that country is in a highly pro-
gressive stage in the matter of pub
lie instruction, according to the re
ports that have come to the state de-
partment at Washington.
In a recent report, Alfred A. Wins
low, United States consul at Val
paraiso, says:
The Chilean government Is giving
educational matters greater attention
than ever before, and there are indi-
cations that American educational
methods are more and more appre-
ciated from the number of American
teachers employed in the higher
schools of the country.
AT present the government has I'M
der construction Is public school build
ings, besides very large number that
are being remodeled and refurnished.
This should make a good opening for
up-to-date American school furniture
and supplies. To date a very large
proportion of school supplies has come
from Europe.
Where American educational meth
DDS have been adopted they have be-
come popular. This is especially true
In private schools In different parts of
the country"

THE CRACKING OF PAINT.
Property Owners Can Save Money
by Learning the Cause.

Do you know what Is wrong when
paint peels. or cracks, or otherwise
necessitates premature re-painting?
Well. sometimes 1t hasn't been
properly applied-the surface being
damp or there being too much turpen-
tine or too much drier.
But. nine times out OF ten, the
trouble is caused by adulterated
white lead.
To avoid all such trouble, every
HORSEPOWER should know in a general
way, when a surface is in proper con-
dition to receive paint, what kind Of
primer and finishing coats different
surfaces require, and how to avoid
adulteration In materials.
A complete painting guide, includ-
ing a book of color schemes, specifi-
cations for all kinds of painting work,
and an instrument for detecting adul-
terations in painting materials, with
directions for using 1t, can be had
free by writing National Lead Com
pany. 1902 Trinity Bldg, New York,
and asking for Houseowner's Paint
ing Outfit No. 40.
This company. the largest makers
of pure white lead, invite tests, by
means Of the blowpipe (included in
OUTFIT, or in any other way. of the
purity OF the white lead sold under
their famous Dutch Boy Painter"
trademark. That trademark on a key
of white lead is in itself an absolute
guarantee of purity and quality.

The fat red-and-white man kept
walking up and down the aisle show
ing people where to sit. and finally he
sat down in the pew directly in front
of Helen. II thought he used to be a
rusher, but | wasn't quito sure"
Helen told the egg.
The long prayers did not seem half
as long as usual, for it wasn't hard to
kneel when you could put the egg
down in dark corner and see it gilt
ter as you turned it around The or
gan pipes lost their old time fascina-
ton, and Helen hardly realized that
the rector had begun to talk before
she heard him say: Now to the
King"-and they all jumped up.
And the egg! However in the world
could it have jumped right out of her
hand and into the fat mans pew? But
it had, and there it shone as brightly
as ever. If she could only snatch II
up quickly! She leaned way over to
make the attempt, but every one else
was sitting down. sit down, Helen"
whispered grandma, sharply. and In
the blindness of humiliating tears
Helen sat. Visions of disgrace rose
up and threatened to overwhelm her.
To have one of the 'rushers" come up
after church and say: Madame, Is this
your egg" and grandma would say:
why, no." and then she would have
20 say: Please, it's minel" and every
body would know that Helen Gardiner
had brought an egg to church! Oh,
why hadn't she been born q heather,
10 she wouldn'. have to go to church
On Easter, but could stay at home and
roll eggs without waiting until next
day! But, most bitter thought of all
maybe grandma would not let hef
nave the egg again after the rusher
nan gave 1t back, and she couldn't
roll it even next day.
Freely We have received, freely
give" the rector was saying. Give
what wouldn't she give just to get
the egg back without grandma's knowl
edge? Perhaps when the man got
up He was getting up OF course;
he always passed the shiny gold plate
and 1t was time to get her money out
of her handkerchief. But why did
grandma's figure stiffen in a sudden
dazed comprehension as she gasped
in dismay, and why did people litter
In that disconcerting way? They must
surely have seen the egg in the fat
mans pew. Helen dashed the tears out
of her big eyes and looked at him as
he marched in blissful ignorance ur
the aisles with the other ushers. What
was that awful glittering mass oil
ruin on his broad black back? Oh, Il
was. ii was!
"Sit down." commanded grandma
fiercely. but the tragedy was too great
MY eggl my lovely egg!" screamed
Helen. "He sat on it, He's--he's
spoiled it,"

SISTERS TRICK
But It All Came Out Right.


How a sister played a trick that
brought rosy health to coffee fiend is
an interesting tale:
81 was a coffee fiend-a trembling,
nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging
to the poison that stole away my
strength. / Knocked at Postum and
would have none of 1t.
"One day my sister substituted a
cup of Postum piping hot for my morn
ing cup of coffee but did not tell me
what 1t was. / noticed the richness of
II and remarked that the coffee tasted
fine but my sister did not tell me
| was drinking Postum for fear might
not take any more.
"She kept the secret and kept CIV
ing me Postum instead of coffee until
l grew stronger, more tireless, got a
better color in my sallow cheeks and
a clearness to my eyes. then she told
me of the health-giving, nerve
strengthening life-saver she had given
me in place of my morning coffee.
From that time became a disciple of
Postum and no words can do justice
in telling the good this cereal drink
did me. will not try to tell it, for
only after having used 1t can one be
convinced of its merits"

Tablet on Cabin John Bridge witt
Name of Davis Obliterated.

Pennsylvania rushed up to Mr.. Smith
and said:
"'Do you know that rebel Meigs has
put JEFF Davis name on the bridge?'
Turning to me. the secretary said:
The first order l give you is to cut
JEFF Davis name off the bridge
"a few days later l was appointed
chief engineer of the aqueduct. Not
taking the secretary's remark seri-
ously l did nothing about the removal
Of the name. A week later, Robert
Mcintyre, the contractor, arrived in
Washington to resume work on the
bridge, the work having been tenn
porarily suspended pending the ar
rival of materials. He called at the
interior department to pay his re-
spects to Secretary Smith. The sec
rotary told him to cut Davis name
off the bridge, and the first thing Nc
Intyre did on returning to the bridge
was to set mason at the work OF
cutting off the name, which was in
raised letters"
Cabin John bridge is $50 feet long
The span is 220 feet wide and the
thickness of the arch and the width
of the roadway on top is 20 feet
Across the arch and below the road
way runs the conduit, which is nine
feet in diameter. The arch is COM
posed of 1000 cubic yards of Potomac
bluestone, $50 yards of concrete and
Sic yards of brick.
The height of the roadway above
the stream is 100 feet and the cost of
the arch was 1854 900.

KSHYESNT was all right so Tar, any
Rfgq EES&way. Helen sat very straight,

No, the egg was too big. Both hands
No, that wouldn't do, for grandma
friends were always shaking hands.
Now, IL little girls only wore NUTS at
Easter time-but then they never did,
so why think of that? Oh, there was

made a convulsive grab at the egg and
hooked it up under the pretty lace

sary, for grandma was bowling to a
very round gentleman with white hair
that stuck UP toothbrushy fashion
around his nice red face. 80 here is
