Three Curious Bells.

There is curious legend connected
with the bells of Messingham church.
It is said that long, long time ago
traveller was passing through Messing
ham when he noticed three men sitting
on stile in the churchyard and say-
ing. "Come to church. Thompson; come
to church, Brown" and go on. Being
very much surprised. he asked what It
meant and was told that, having no
bells. they called folks to church IN
this way. The traveller remarked that
It was a pity so fine church should
be without bells and at the same time
asked the men II they could make
three for the church. promising to pay
for them himself. They undertook b
do this. They we're respectively .
tinker. a carpenter and shoemaker.
When next the traveller passed that
way he found the three men ringing
three bells which said. "Ting. tong
puff" being made respectively Of tin,

Wise Mon Of Gotham.

A "wise man of Gotham is fool.
but the phrase arose through the real
wisdom Of the people that lived in the
English town of Gotham. The story
goes that King John Of England once
visited the town with the intention OF
seeing a castle that he thought Of TAX
ing for himself But the Gotha mites
did not care for the nearness Of roy
atty and the expense they would be
put to If the king should have house
there. and so they cooked up a scheme
to drive him away. When the king ar
rived with his company Of followers
and rode through the town be saw all
the inhabitants Of Gotham going
through the most foolish Of tasks. each
person with a silly smile on his race
The king was Disguised with them
He would not live among crazy people
and so he rode on through the town
and did not stop for the castle. Then
the wise men of Gotham. still smiling
but not in a silly fashion, told one an
other that there were more fools thai
passed through Gotham than remain
In It.

He Was Too Enthusiastic.

Hank Dobbs was noted as an hon.
est" horse trader. He would not lie
about a horse. He would merely sup
press the truth Incidentally be always
beat the customer who dealt with him.
The way he could slur over the de-
fects and buzz about the virtues OF an
animal amounted to genius.
Once Hank was trying to sell a
neighbor a horse that had an eye
which was nearly sightless. The
neighbor knew Hank would not lie
outright to him. so he questioned the
horse trader rs to the various points
Of the brute.
"How about bis eyesight? Can be
gee out Of both eyes?"
Sure" said Hank. "He's got good
eyes," Here he leaned forward. his
eyes fairly scintillating with sup
pressed honesty. Zone eye is particu-
larry good"
Hanks enthusiasm for the truth had
carried him too far. The deal was of.

bushels of wheat harvested annually In
eastern Washington and Oregon, north
and central Idaho and western Montana,
will be formally organized under the d.
rection of officers of the Farmers Educa-
tional and Cooperative Union of America
in Spokane on June 10. The purpose is
to pool the grain grown in this part OF
the northwest and sell 1t In lots Of 1Oo.0 0t
bushels and upward direct to millers and
exporters, charging the growers not more
than j cent bushel for handling and
marketing.
L. C. Grow of Garfield, Wash, state
president for Washington and Idaho, OF
the Farmers union, who was elected
temporary president OF the Farmers
Warehouse association. says It Is pur-
posed to make a campaign to enlist an
farmers In the northwestern and coast
states in the movement, with view to
controlling the grain output and bringing
the industry upon q profitable basis. No
attempt will be made to advance prices,
he added. but rather work to eliminate
the middle man and let the farmers have
the profits.
Former state Senator r. C. McCroskey
of Garfield, one Of the bonanza wheat
ranchers in the Inland Empire. said of
the plan:
by forming into compact Organise
ton the farmers will be in much better
position to deal with the middle man and
even with the railroads, although the lat
ter are not of as vital Importance to
the growers. The federation will have
the power by a two-thirds vote Of Its
membership to levy tax on all produce
stored In warehouses for the maintenance
of agencies, and It Is also provided In the
constitution that agents shall give bonds
to the association to protect the members
against losses"
