 And these were to form our family party.
 While I was studying the people, Genevieve was taking an inventory of our supplies.

 Thank you," he looked up and smiled, as he lifted his hat, but where is your dinner to be?'
 Down there where my sister is sit ting" She nodded her head in my di- rection. We are going to have fam fly reunion"
 Where is your family?" His smile broadened:
 All in this coach who will come"
 Here the young man in the sweater turned round, and she addressed him. , "Will you come too? And"
 With pleasure, if I can be of any assistance"
 You can assist by furnishing some thing toward the dinner"
 He pushed his hand down into his pocket.

Therefore, he leaned forward and said: There IS q diner on, and I think We could go in"
 No. mo-" interrupted Genevieve; we don't want to go into the diner We want make believe family re- union here in our private car. Then turning to the young man, Chocolate and chewing gum are acceptable, if thev are the best you have.
 The man with the children had been down to the end of the car, giving each of them a drink, and returned to his seat inst as Genevieye was ready to mt the matter before him.

 He saw what she meant, and the baby reached out toward her, as if it understood, too. Genevieve took the little one in her arms. You see that the baby is willing, and little child should lead you"
 'Oh, of course, We will be glad to accept your kind invitation. If my children won't disturb the party"
 'No indeed" she assured him, i've need children to make Thanksgiving in her arms, she walked down to the golden-haired lady.
 Will you join us in our dinner party?"
 Thank you," returned the girl, but have my dinner with me-"
 ''Very good! We want you to put your dinner in with ours, and from the size of your basket, should imagine you have more than all the rest of us put together"
 "But l am going to Chicago" the young lady protested, land I must make my lunch do for all the way"
 "Oh, I see, you are afraid we will eat too much of it." She laughed, sit ting down beside the girl, and still holding the baby in her arms. "If you will eat with us, you won't need to open your basket. It is not your food we want but you"
 The girl still hesitated. My moth CT told me not to get acquainted with people on the train, for fear some thing might happen. because I have never been out of California before, and she is afraid for me to take such long trip alone"
 Are you afraid of me and this baby?" asked Genevieve.
 "Oh, no, I'm not afraid of ladies, but mustn't speak to gentlemen, un- less I am introduced to them.'
 Well, my dear girl, we won't enjoy our dinner party just behind you here, knowing that you are eating all alone. |"

EVERY FARMER A UNION MAN
Many Benefits Organization Has Ac- compIished in Past and Bright
 Prospects in Future.

l Illuh lDdL every IdTIu6I OuSuI lu be a true blue union man and 1 long to see the time when every farmer will be a member of our union. have heard some men say that when the union had done any good that they would join. If they would go to read ing and studying more they could see that the union has already accom- plished great deal. l will give few figures to show what the union has done since Newt Gresham met and organized the first local in Raines county, Texas. which has been nearly eight years ago, writes D. s. Claninger of Marmaduke, Ark, in the Coopera- tor
 We will take the south's greatest crop, which is cotton. We have got on an average of 5000 per bale for the past eight years and for the eight years before that We got on an aver age of $3667, which makes a differ ence of $13.33 per bale since the union has been organized, and during this time we have marketed about S5.0O0- GOO bales and at $13.33 would make an increase of $1,133, ,O50,OO0, and l think that this is enough to prove to any man that the union has accomplished great deal, and it has also raised the price of other products that We have to sell and it has already been worth to the farmers of the south many times what it has cost us. The union has t11obt tha tn and diversity their crops and raise living at home instead of sending to the north and other countries after it. It has also taught us scientific farm ing, to study our soil and plant the crops best adapted and to prepare our lands better before planting.
 The legislature of Arkansas has given us four agricultural schools, and now, brethren, what are these schools for? Are they to teach us to be law yers, doctors, merchants, bankers, spectators and gamblers? No they are not for that purpose at all. but just the reverse, to teach us how to be farmers and study the soil more and to raise more to the acre. AS we asked for those schools, just so we must patronize them. l was glad to read in your paper that the Texas union had voted to stay with the union. We are just now getting into shape to accomplish anything that we set out for, so, brothers, lets all shoul der our obligation and ever keep it in mind and live up to it, and when ever our union passes anything lets stay with it, and, brethren, this is what we have got to do.
 Now, if we were to go on for the next thirty years as we have been for the past thirty, what condition would our lands be in and what would be here for the rising generation? The time has come when we must go on improving our lands and We must improve them by planting crops that will draw nitrogen from the air and enrich our lands. So. brethren. lets all attend every meeting that We pos sibly can and when it becomes our duty to do anything get up and do it and falter not. and the victory will sure be ours.

Protecting Against Sun Scald.

The protection given to guard against sun scald will perform a dual purpose of guarding against rabbits, or in case this has not been done, as in the case of forest trees, where the number of trees is so large that it is not convenient to tie up each tree, then it is well to remember that the rabbit has sensitive nose and can be kept away by applying with a swab a combination of blood. soap and to- bacco.

Shipping Live Poultry.

Two things should be observed in shipping live poultry. First, the birds should have plenty of room, and, sec ondly, plenty of air. The crates should be large and partitioned so the birds will not all be thrown into one end. The slats on the crate should be only close enough together to prevent the birds from escaping.

Age of Grape Vine.

If a grape vine is properly looked after there seems to be no limit to the age at which they will bear good fruit. as evidenced by such famous old vines as the one at Hampton Court, England, which was planted in 1769 and still bears immense crops of good grapes annually.

Let us save Thanksgiving day from self righteousness and from unmanly de- pair, as well as from the light trifing of those who would make of 1t a mere amusement.

 If one would enjoy a good old fashioned Thanks giving day at it's best the true road to the feast lies in the country. Thanks giving on the farm is some thing to be remembered, There the whole family is taken into consideration, and 1t is safe to say that each individual member has been preparing for the day almost ever since the celebration of the last one.

 we were heartily glad and drunke our first New England water with as much delight as ever we drunke drink in all our lives"
 Thus was, with "Bisket and Hol land Cheese, and a bottle of aquavite," the first New England Thanksgiving dinner eaten on the noon of Novem- Der 26, 1920, around "a fire of sassa- fras, juniper and pine which smelled both sweet and strong"
 Later these hardy adventurers were able to feast on wild fowl and venison in plenty, as have those who came after them even unto the pres ent day, for the forests of the cane abound with game and the waters with fishes very much as in the days of the little Pilgrim band who in the Mayfiower's cabin signed the first New England charter.
 Although not set down in the laws the reunion feast became an informal annual function, and there can be but little doubt that Thanksgiving day as known to us of the present had it's origin in and was inspired by the abil ity of the pilgrim band to soften the strong waters of the hospitable Dutch with the spring waters of the new world, by chance shall we saw Or to what cause shall we credit the so. lection Of the last week of November for the day of feasting and prayer now so eagerly looked for and as care flIllV OhSerNnd as Chrictr,nn., IL Nr

WAR ON BOIL WEEvIL

Jackson, Miss, November 7.-(Spe- cial. )-Edgar H. Green, special agent of the government. department of az riculture, has made arrangements to have what he calls "one-day schools of instruction" in every beat In Co., piah county, beginning at Shady Grove, November 21; Clancy, November 22; Dentville. November 23, and Carpen- ter, November 24. These institutes will be conducted by Prof. ". L. Hutchin- son of the Agricultural and Mechan- ical college, and the burden of his song will be diversification and the grow ton.
 Judging by reports from that wee vii infested county these schools" are timely institutions and should be held In every precinct where the pests have been this year or are liable to be next season. W. s. Howard of Cophia has long been recognized as good farm CT. On 20 acres of land he has been making from 15 to 20 bales of cot ton per year. That was before the advent of the weevil-this year he re- ports one pale or cOllOn OH ms ZU acres, and no doubt he will occupy a front seat when Professor Hutchin- son comes to hts town.
 It is noticeable that there is some thing akin to a rebellion against the teachings of the government experts in several quarters, so far as the con duct of the war against the boil wee vii is concerned. Correspondents of county papers are urging that the burning of cotton stalks and picking up of punctured forms and bolls is time and money wasted and suggest ing that more weevils are destroyed by constant cultivation and stirring of the soil. The time was in Mississippi when such appeals and protests against what was termed book farming" would have carried the day, but not now and the great majority of those who per- sist in planting cotton in weevil in tested territory will follow the advice of the government experts. believing that the only way to make even half crop of cotton. It would be better, no doubt, to follow both plans-that is, burn the old stalks and trash. pick up dead forms next spring and summer, and cultivate as frequently as possible a greatly reduced acreage to cotton.
