Feeding Farm Hands.

Every farmers wife knows what ire
mendous appetites farm hands usually
have; but while they eat we'll they
work we'll, too. 5
Here's a good suggestion about feed
ing farm hands. Give them plenty of
Quaker Scotch Oats. A big dish of
Quaker Oats porridge with sugar and
cream or milk is the greatest break
fast in the world for a man who needs
vigor and strength for a long days
work. The man that eats Quaker
Scotch Oats plentifully and often is
the man who does good work without
excessive fatigue. There is a sustain
ing quality in Quaker Scotch Oats not
found in other foods, and for economy
it is at the head of the list. To meet
needs of those in different climates
Quaker Scotch Oats is packed in regu-
lar size packages and Theoretically
sealed tins; the latter for hot climates.

As the White House is absolutely
dependent upon electricity as an H.
luminant (the mansion not being sup
piled with gas), it is of supreme i'm
p%ortance that a dependable current be
available every minute of the "a
hours. The equipment in the dyna-
mo room presents three sources of
electrical energy, any one of which is
all sufficient for White House needs,
and in the unheard-of event that all
three installations should be stimuli

In addition to providing the illu-
mination for the presidents home the
electric current generated in the big
granite building across the street does
many other things to make the in
mates and employees of that establish
ment comfortable and happy. The
elevator and dumb-waiters and the

by electricity. The same agency is
employed to drive upward Of 200 house
fans, number of exhaust fans for ven

Memphis, Tenn.-There was issued
from the office of the National Ginners'
Association, a report on the cotton crop
condition as of Sept. 25, and the amount
of cotton ginned to that date. which
shows as follows: Reports indicate a
condition of 6o.2, and that there has
been 2,564,o00 bales ginned up to the
25th. While the condition report is low,
it is not as low as the trade has ex-
pected, and as the ginning is rather
heavy the market will probably decline
to a point at which the spinners will

OF TROUBLE
 IN CUBAN POLITICS.
Rumors of Plans to Force Retirement
 of President Gomez.

Havana, Nov. 22-Not since the downfall of the administration of Pres ident Palma has the political atmos- phere of Cuba been more obscure and more laden with suggestions of trouble than 1t is at present. The re-estab- lished republic is scarcely nine months old. and already rumors have become persistent that some way is being sought to work the retirement of Pres ident Gamsz, either by persuasion or compulsion, and to place Vice Presi- dent Zayas at the head of the nation.
 Probably the most serious condition that the president is now facing is that resulting from the failure of efforts to effect a complete fusion between his partisans and those of the vice presi dent.
 A few days ago General Gomez start led the liberal leaders by addressing to them a letter in which he stated that, so far as he was officially concerned, he had decided to consider the fusion as an accomplished fact and he would in the future make appointments to his cabinet without any reference to the particular faction of the liberal party to which the appointee might have be- 1onged.
 Another disquicting feature of the situation is the renewal of agitation for the formation of negro party.

 Dr. Cooks health is the matter of the greatest concern among the friends whom he has left in the city.
