HORSE AND DOG WERE PALS

For no other reason than because
his bulldog refused to be comforted
since he sold his horse, Arthur Baker,
a farmer of Springfield, Ohio, went to
Dayton and purchased back his trot-
ter at an increased price, which he
had sold the week before. It and the
dog were boon companions since the
CANNES eyes were open.
After the horse was taken away the
bulldog did nothing but yell and howl
and positively refused to eat the food
offered It. Mr.. Baker could not stand
It any longer, and he got the pur-
chaser to sell him the horse back
When the horse was returned to
the Baker stable the canine ceased
barking and yelping, the pair nosed
each other for quite time, and alto
gether the greeting between the two
dumb animals was most affectionate.

TO FINANCE COTTON CROP
Galveston Bankers and Texas Farm
ers' Union Agree on Plan for
Moving Staple.

By the terms of new agreement
which is being worked out between
Galveston bankers and officials of
Texas Farmers union it is proposed
for the bankers of Galveston to
finance the entire crop of the coming
year in both Texas and Oklahoma.
Details Of the new plan have not
yet been made public, but it is learned
that the matter has been under con-
sideration for some time. BY the new
agreement Galveston bankers stand
ready to take cotton from the farmers
at the market price in consideration
of which the farmers, it Is understood,
agree to ship direct to this city.
AS the cotton controlled by the
union represents a large percentage
of the output of the state, this would
give Galveston control and domination
of the state and Oklahoma cotton mar
kets
The plan in general is an enlarge
ment on a wider scope OF the one en-
tered into between Galveston bankers
and President D. J. Neil of the union
two years ago, and which has proven
to be very satisfactory to all parties.
It is understood Galveston bankers
stand ready with over s30,00O,0o0 to
back up the agreement.

PEAR TREES QUEER ACTION

A pear tree in bloom and laden with
fruit at the same time is a freak at
Basking Ridge, N. j. The blossoms
completely cover the tree and the
ripening fruit peeping from between
the clusters of petals makes a novel
sight
During the hot and dry weather of
July the leaves of the tree appeared
to wither and even the fruit itself
showed signs of beginning to shriyel
up. Then copious rains fell and the
tree gave evidence of the benefits it
received. Buds began to swell again
and an entirely new set of blossoms
began to appear.
A horse chestnut tree in full bloom
In Bayonne is causing much interest
among the residents in that section.
Similar trees nearby are filled with
nuts.

WHEN THE ALARM WENT OFF

An odd thing happened In Paris the
other week, where woman named
Charlotte BerdulH was arrested out
side shop on the Place de la Bas-
title, and charged by one of the shops
private detectives with stealing some
cheap jewellery. She denied the theft
Indignantly, and refused even more
Indignantly to allow herself to be
searched. 81 am the wife Of a magis-
Grate." she declared, "and will have
you punished for the indignity to
which I am being subjected" Unfor-
6unately for her, an alarm clock which
she had stolen went of at this mo-
ment Mrs. Burdulli was searched.
and three alarm clocks, small size,
two watches, and eight brooches of
small value were found in a specially
made pocket inside her skirt.

FARMERS ARE BUSINESS MEN
So Declares President Barrett in Con-
vention at Charlotte, N. C.-To
Secure Legislation.

The national convention Of the
Farmers Educational and Co-Opera-
tive Union of America was held at
Charlotte, N c., the other day with
thousand delegates, representing al
most every state in the Union, IN at
tendance
Addresses by different members OF
the union on subjects interesting to
the statesmen of agriculture followed
the opening preliminaries.
In his annual address, President U.
S. Barrett spoke first Of the farmer al
a business man. Here and there, ne
declared, the Individual farmer has
much to learn concerning business
and business usages. But the tmpor-
tant point is that the leaven is at
work and the man who tills the soil
and the country Is absorbing with
miraculous rapidity the lesson that
business principles must be foremost
in the management Of his affairs. The
change is epochal in revolutionary
sense
I'm every state have invaded" he
continued, "the farmer debates today,
not so much the everlasting round OF
politics or the cruelty selfish ambi-
lions Of politicians, but how to make
his acres return the maximum OF dol
lars; how to make his best own OPP
portunities; how to furnish the best
opportunities to his sons and daugh-
tiers; how best to tighten his Wlfe's
toll; how best to make attractive,
clean, hea1thful and permanent the
home that shall shelter them all.
I'VE have organized state unions in
three states during the past year
California Indiana and Virginia" he
continued Catch the significance OF
the national scope shown by these
three organizations.
CAS- an evidence of the determine
ton Of the organized farmer to punish
Indifferent public servants and reward
those who have shown their true col
ors and abfded by them, it is a well
known fact that the Farmers union
defeated several congressional candi-
dates and few senators in a few
southern and western states. That is,
moreover, merely the beginning Of the
organizations light to secure atten-
ton to its demands from men in pub
lie life
I'm a number of states where the
Farmers union has made itself plain
in asking proper legislation from legis-
1atures, it has gotten practically all it
demanded. In other states, for in
stance, Arkansas and Alabama, it has
never been turned down on single
one of its requests"

Farmers Educational
m and Cooperative
Il Union of America


The short road to wealth generally
turns out to be the toughest.
An empty wagon always makes a
great deal more noise than full one.
You would never know some men
were Christians unless they told you
30.
Here is to the man who speaks the
best and thinks the least Ill Of his
neighbor.
The kind of farmer who occupies a
farm can most always be told by the
class of poultry he keeps.
Many man who is fooling away
his time in the literary field might
be useful in a potato field,
Some men use so much energy
blowing their own horns that they
cannot accomplish anything else.
Men who are always yelling for a
square deal sometimes forget to whis-
per when the other fellow gets the
worst of it.
-Four flushing may win for lit
tie while but no man can win by 1t
in the long run against honesty and
square dealing.
Almost anyone will give the other
fellow a chance, but 1t won't do much
good unless the other fellow gives
himself a chance.
The shovels, sweeps, bulI-tongues
and pillow points should be sharpened.
Look forward and have everything in
readiness for the busy season.
Just about the time a man gets it
firmly fixed in his head that the farm
cannot get along without him, the
boss makes up his mind to fire him.
There Is always one man at barn
raising who runs around, splits on his
hand, yells instructions TO everybody,
eats more and does less work than
any other man on the Job. Know him
Many man shakes hands with
himself and believes he is successful
when he has become rich and yet he
may be farther away from real sue
cess than any other man in his
county.

ATcHIsoN's ORDER OF SPINS
Unmarried, and contented WithaI,
They Have Mapped Out for
Themselves Pious City.

There was called meeting of the
Ancient Order of Spins last evening,
and papers were read on every sub
iect, from removing grease from car
pets to the sad memories that attach
to bunch of old letters. The Spins
were having a hilarious time when a
visiting Spin got up to make few re-
marks. She said that, while they are
happy now, there was sad time com
ing. Think of the day., she said,
when, having no husbands or chill
dren, you will be all alone" There
was a sniff and then a snort as Spin
after Spin recalled wives and mothers
who are alone from daylight till dark,
except when some member of the fam
lily wants waiting on. The shifting
and snorting increased in volume as
Spin after Spin told of her freedom
from worry, her independence in
financial matters and the joy of doing
as she pleased. But we must not
take offense at what our sister has
said" one Spin remarked. Let as
show our good intentions by calling
on every lonesome wife and mother
we know, This was six weeks ago,
and though the Spins have devoted
every afternoon and evening since to
this missionary work, they haven
made half the rounds yet.-Atchison

TROUT ALMOST KILLS A DOG

Wallace Short of New York state
has dog. It's name Is Skip. 1t was
long-haired, but it isn't any more.
The other morning it went fishing.
Short said no, but the dog said yes,
and then 1t took a flying leap and
with bobwow of delight landed In
the center of one of the pools Of
Frank Drumboller's trout hatchery on
the Tranquility turnpike. The
dog was a bit hungry, and when it
jumped 1t had its gaze fixed on
large trout that had been basking in
the sun, with one eye on Skip and
the other on a bread crumb near by.
The dog had a long, shaggy coat
when it entered the pool. 1t had
seen but one, and had no means of
knowing or even suspecting there
were 5000 other trout in the same
pool. all full grown and hungry, for
1t was feeding time. Scarcely had
Skip struck the water when it began
to bark for nelp. Short and Drum
boiler ran to the edge of the pool,
and what they saw made their eyes
pop.
The thousands OF trout had mass
ed themselves about the dog, and
swimming around and around had en-
quilted him in a perfect piscatoria1
whirlpool. Occasionally one of the
large fish would make a side leap
and take bite at the dog. Skip
was in a bad way when the men ar
rived. The silent mass of fish grad
ually would have forced him under
the water, He had gone in long
haired, but came out like a hairless
Mexican dog. The secret was that
Skip suffered from a skin affection,
and his master had rubbed him with
olive oil, appetizing to the fish So
they almost skinned him.

CREDIT SYSTEM IN GERMANY
Farmers Form Landschaften Associa-
tions for Purpose Of Securing
Loans on Their Land.

Responding to inquiry, Counsel Gen
eraI Robert P. Skinner of Hamburg
furnishes the following information
concerning the Landschaften assocta-
lions in Germany:
A number of farmers credit institu-
tons exists in Germany, of which the
most interesting, as being most appli-
cable to American conditions, are the
Landschaften associations, which have
performe dusefui work in Prussia
since 1869. These cooperative organ
izations resemble, to some extent, the
American building and loan associa-
tons, with this distinctive difference,
that whereas the American societies
are composed Of persons who deposit
money for the purpose of obtaining
reasonable interest thereon and others
who borrow such deposits, the German
Lanschaften associations are COM
posed exclusively of borrowers, whose
combined credit Is made available
practically to each constituent mem
Der.
The Landschaften organizations are
societies of farmers, usually farmers
of considerable Importance, whose
mortgage bonds guaranteed by all
members of the society, and which
being so guaranteed are readily salable
upon favorable terms The bonds are
payable to bearer, and thus consti-
tutes a form of collateral which can
command the money market as readi-
ly as the great business corporations
of the country.
Members joining these associations
are required TO submit to an appraisal
of their estates, and thereupon are en-
titled to make mortgage loans for the
ultimate repayment of which the So
ciety assumes responsibility up to one
half or two-thirds of the appraised
value of the land. The association it.
self pays interest as It comes due, and
eventually pays the principal, reim-
bursting itself from the borrowing
member, together with such additional
amounts as may be necessary to meet
the cost of administration and amorti-
cation.
A description of the actual organiza-
ton Of the Landschafticher Kreditver-
band fur Provinz Schleswig- Holstefn,
with headquarters at Kiel, will illus
trate the mechanism of these associa-
tions as a class. It is empowered to
acquire real property and issue mort
gage bonds payable to the holder
thereof. Only persons who own agri-
cultural or wooded lands can become
members, and then only when their
estates represent certain earning
power or a determined value. AS no
body Joins the association unless in
need of capital, the initiation fee is
calculated at rate Of one-tentn of
one per cent. of the amount to be Dor
rowed Persons who acquire property
encountered with mortgages guaran-
teed by the association must become
members thereof, and must assume all
liabilities arising under the mortgage
contract Refusal to do so is followed
by the cancellation of the mortgage It
self. Members who enter the associa-
ton by reason of the acquisition of
encountered lands pay no initiation
fee. Members who have discharged
all their obligations to the association
may resign

FROZEN TO DEATH IN HEAT

The recent heat wave brought the
usual crop Of fatalities, but surely the
most remarkable was that of team
ster, who was frozen to death while
the thermometer stood at los. The
victim was a Mexican employed by an
ice supply company at Maricopa. Ari-
IONA. Unable any longer to bear the
torrid heat while ont with a load of
ice the man was seized by what ap-
peared to be the happy idea of seek
ing cooling shade under his wagon.
Apparently he slumbered, for when
the absence of the teamster from the
wagon was noticed, and search was
made he was discovered lying quite
dead, with all the symptoms of having
been frozen to death.
