BACK TO
THE FARM"
XVI. What Cooperation Is
Doing For the Farmer.
by C. v. GREGORY.

|A INSIDE of education, h e
a w greatest force which is work
w. ing for the uplift Of the
farmer is cooperation. Co
operation is bringing the farmers to-
gether. teaching them to think and act
and work In unison. IL is enabling
them TO market their products most
efficiently and at least expense. Co
operation seems to be the only logical
means of reducing the great army of
nonproducing middlemen.
There are many sections of the
United States where cooperation Is
working successfully. One Of the
striking Instances of successful coop
Grafton is the grain elevator business
of the middle west. The idea Of CO.
operative buying and selling had long
been talked of among farmers, but it
was not until 1890 that the first sue
cessful organization for this purpose

TOO MUCH TEA DRINKING.

Physical deterioration is alarming
all England and health committees
are running around seeking the
causes and then warning people
about their manner of living. One
Of the dangers they find to be guard
ed against is the teapot. Excessive
use Of strongly brewed tea having
been proved to be fatal to the best
physical condition, to reduce this
danger to a minimum the tea should
not be made strong and should be
drunk within two minutes. But
how prevent the working woman, for
instance, from keeping the deadly
teapot on the kitchen stove and
drawing a cup whenever she feels
so inclined? The climate is really
first cause, the cheering poison but
the second. One has to be comfort
ed by tea in London's fog and chill
and a health committee is powerless
to change the climate.

United States are worked by tenants.
Germany has solved this problem by
cooperative loan associations which in
clude all the farmers in a community
and the entire assets of the community
are pledged to the company as secur
ity. On this security the company
borrows large sums of money at very
low rates of interest. This money is
used to purchase land for members
upon approval OF the board OF di
rectors. The farmer who borrows
money from the association pays 1t
back in easy payments extending over
a period of forty years or SO. He is
charged quarter OF a cent more in
terest than the association pays. This
quarter Of n cent Is used to pay ex-
penses and to provide sinking fund
to cover losses. 1t has always been
amply sufficient for these purposes.
Under this plan the farmers can buy
land by making annual payments that
amount to little more than the rent.
Tenancy In Germany has been decreas-
ing ever since this plan went into OPP

I am happy to say that most of
the objection sto the building of
good roads in Henderson county
have now vanished, and as a very
good judge of good roads said the
other day, this county is coming
to the front in good roads senti-
ment: We are having the best
grades of any county in the State
made on our new roads, thanks to
Nh. R.: F. Patton, who is one of
the best managers of roads and of
land owners over whose land the
roads must be built, that any
county may boast of. And cap
tain Ben Souther is one Of the best
dirt road builders I have ever
seen. Everybody in the county
is singing the praise now while
they are alive, which is good.

 The new Grand Central will be the center of the most extensive combina- tion of passenger transportation lines Tn the world. It will connect not only with the subway. but the Mo- Adoo tunnel to New Jersey by way of Forty-second street and Sixth ave- nue. the Belmont tube to Long Is- land. other subways planned but not surface lines already in existence. It will be an island in the center of a sea of traffic. but one that can be reached by score of routes. Travel ing will be reduced to a minimum of difficulty.
 Above the tracks adjacent to the terminal it is probable that several hotels will be constructed in the course of few years. There are times when one begins to feel that It will only be matter of a few more decades when railroad ter minals. hotels and theatres will be the only buildings in New York If these proposed hotels are construct ed travellers who wish to stop at them will be able to go directly to them from the station without going out into the street or climbing any steps.
 One of the unusual features about the plan of running trains to the new terminal is the way in which the trains run over. or rather above one another. Way down underneath all the others will be the Belmont tube to Lon- Island. Over this will come the Hudson and Manhattan tubes. Then up another story will be the Interborough subway and above that the regular railroad tracks.

FRITZ HARTMANN
 NOT INTERESTED IN BROTHERS FOOLERY

"If he is crazy enough to sell $25- 900 for $6200 let him sell it." was the sentiment expressed by Fritz Hartmann this morning, while deny ing statement that he was going to take legal action to prevent Chris topher LaCroix and Walter Anderson of the firm of LaCroix & Anderson from getting possession of one-third of the estate of the late Charles Fl Hartmann, the veteran brewer, which they had purchased from Charles Hartmann, one of the heirs.
 Charles Hartmann, brother of Fritz Hartmann, the local restaurant keep CT, has shown a wonderful propensity for getting rid of money, but not un- til few days ago did the members of his family believe that he would give four dollars for one. Then it be- came known that he had sold his one-third interest in the residue of the estate for $6,200. He had bor- rowed $5,000 from LaCroix & Ander. son to go into the moving picture business and failing to pay the in- terest on the money MT. LaCroiy looked him up in Florida and asked for settlement. Before they got through Hartmann turneu over his interest in the estate for an addition al $1,200.
 Fritz Hartmann, said this morning that he was quite certain that his brother could not have been in his right mind when he was making the transfer, but that he was not going to interfere with the matter. "He had his chance and when he Is broke he will wake up," he added

The Alfred Fox Pianos

The recent advertising campaign ot the Alfred Fox Piano Company has caused considerable interest in the piano business by leading citizens of Bridgeport, and it seems fitting that the Farmer should say word in re- gard to the commendable industry and enterprise of the leading spirit of this reliable house.
 MT. Alfred Fox started in the piano business in the city of Bridgeport 25 years go. when but a young man. He has devoted much time since then to piano construction, and is perhaps the only piano man in Bridgeport who thoroughly understands the science of piano building, from the scientific scale construction. the relation of wave nodes. etc.. to .one perfection. the in- stallation of all interior parts. like action. stringing. tuning etc.. in other words the only piano man qualified to build piano from start to finish.
 Mir. Fox's business in Bridgepor, has advanced because he is progressive enterprising. trustworthy and has won the confidence and respect of all with whom he has had business dealings. He has assembled in h's warerooms the finest lot of pianos in the city, all reputable makes-and is without question she leader in his line.

 GOOD MONEY TO LEARN A TRICK

Hartford. Dec. 19.-In binding Max Shapiro of Springfield. Mass, over to the superior court. under bonds of $5,000, the court heard the details of how Mrs. Celia Silverman of this city was relieved of $3,500, and also of how one of the alleged crooks feeced his pal out of his share of the loot by the officials of St. Louis, and Pittsfeld, Mass.
 According to the evidence of the detectives Shapiro and pal named Smith, who is still at large, showed chine chin sf at her home. sy and conyincsd ks he he, by the tests made that she could double her wealth by making impress sionS of bills of any denomination placed in the wonderful device. Slie was to have 50 per cent. of all the tectives. she drew $s.51s out of the bank and insisted that the impress s'or To made without the assistance of Shapiro.
 In. ..oney was to be left in the machine for A hours so that the inn pressions would be good. When ths found wad of white paper with new dollar bills at the top and bottom Her good money had been stolen in the process of placing it in the re- ceptacle. IL developed that smith told Shapiro that there was only $80J in good money and gave him half of that. When the true facts came ou, Shapiro became so angered that he is said to have agreed to cooperate with the police in having his pal ap- prehended.
 According to the local police there are a number of the money-making machine victims in St. Louis. It was there that Shapiro was arrested and brought to Hartford.
 His local victim did not testify in court Saturday, and until the detec- tives enlightened the court it was supposed that the woman had lost her life's savings in a bogus real estate transaction.
