FARMERS ARE OPENING EYES
They Should Raise Their Own Corn,
Hay, Hogs and Vegetables and
Get Out of Debt.

Some few Of the farmers are get
ting their eyes open, but the most of
them raise cotton to buy their corn,
wheat, meat, hay, tobacco, in fact
everything they use We are one of
those farmers who are beginning to
open their eyes and see where they
are standing. writes Mrs. G. M. Tay-
Tor of Boonyille, Ark, in Co-Operator
The farmers will never do any good
30 long as they do as they have been
doing. They should raise plenty of
corn, hay, hogs and vegetables and
not buy anything until they have the
money to pay for it, for when you pay
for it you are sure to have the money.
When we get out of debt we will not
have to raise so much cotton. There
are many girls who do not know how
to do homework because they don't
have time AS soon as school is out
they are in the cotton patch, hoeing
or picking cotton, and some are al
ways blaming the girls for not trying
to learn to do housework They
should learn to card, spin, knit, make
quilts, cut and make their own
clothes, but they can't SO long as peo-
pie do as they do now. So don't blame
the girls for not knowing how to do
homework This is the way the coun-
try girls are growing up, ours with
the rest, so we ought to get out Of
debt and stay out and then the men
can manage the farms better and the
people would have better times. l do
believe in the children going to school
l think we all ought to give our chill
dren a good education and / think
they ought to know how to do all
kinds of work. There are more weak
Iy women nowadays as a result of
working in the fields and exerting
themselves in the heat, wet and cold,
than from any other cause. 1 think
we all ought to turn a new leaf and
see if we can't do better.

BIG TORTOISE OF cEYLoN VICAR HAS STRANGE CALL

Rev. Thomas Fddleston, formerly
rector of High Roding, Essex, Eng,
recently commenced his duties as
vicar of Braintree, and in an address
from the pulpit explained why he had
transferred from the one living to the
other, thereby sacrificing about $500
a year.
He said before he knew that the
Braintree living was vacant he woke
up In the middle of the night at High
Roding, and heard a strange passage
of Scripture ringing in his ears:
Take this child away and nurse it
for me, and I will give thee thy
wages
The vicar said he thought there
must be child in distress at High
Roding, and he searched about the
parish for two days to see if there
was anyone being neglected, but he
could find no one. Then he received
the offer of the living at Braintree,
and regarding it as direct call from
God, he accepted, as he considered it
his duty to undertake the nursing of
the children of Braintree.

WOMAN RUNS A MOUSE FARM

Why is the average woman more
afraid of a mouse than of her hus-
bands wrath over her milliner's bill?
Why at the sight of wee, inoffensive
rodent, will she fly screaming to
table or chair to the accompaniment
of a reckless display of hosiery? And
can anybody under the sun explain
why the nervy young woman who Will
grapple with and capture a burglar
and turn him over to the police, will
pull off lovely fainting fit if anybody
shouts, Look at the mouse!"
Absolutely for the first time in be-
frilled womandom, real, live and nor
NAL woman has advanced to the firing
line with answers to the foregoing
question. This daring woman is Miss
Abbie E. G. Lathrop, the owner of a
successful mouse farm at CRANKY,
Mass. She raises yearly from 5000 to
10000 rats and mice for medical lab
oratories.
''Woman's fear of the mouse" says
Miss Lathrop, 81 believe dates back to
the Garden of Eden. There can be no
possible doubt about it, for as far back
as have been able to go in the his
tory of the world, women have hoped,
skipped and jumped at the sight of a
mouse"
In her rodent family, Miss Lathrop
has mice of ten different colors and
20 combinations of color. White IS
ordinary and black is not startling,
but when it comes to cream colored
mice or orange mice, one is surprised.
She also has silver. blue and agout1
mice.
The red mice are much the color of
the bay of horse and the blue mouse
is about the color of a maltese cat.
The agouti mice have dark brown hair
with yellow tips which gives a golden
brown effect. Her silver mice with
ruby eyes are the rarest combinations.
One of the most remarkable things
about Miss Lathrop's farm is her an

DEAD MAN DRIVES ENGINE

An extraordinary incident, which
might have led to grave disaster, is
reported from Paris to the effect that
the driver of a train on the line from
Etel to Carnac died on the footplate
the other day from heart failure. His
stoker noticed nothing unusual until
the train was just about to enter the
station, when, perceiVing that the
train was still travelling at compar-
atively high speed, he turned to the
driver, and to his establishment found
that he was standing up, leaning
against the side of the cab, stone dead.
He at once put on the brakes and re-
versed steam, and the train stopped
just in time to avert catastrophe.
