SHOULD PULL TOGETHER.

At the Get Together" convention
yesterday many things were said that
were timely and right to the point.
They bear directly upon the business
relations existing between the diff
ferent classes of men who made up
the gathering. 1t is we'll those senti-
cause good generally results from a
free and fair expression Of opinion.
In speaking as president of the state
organization Of the farmers union ].
w. McAllister told of the stand of the
union with reference to trading. He
believes that farmers should trade
with their home merchants rather
than with outside mail order houses.
But he contends also that in making
purchases of produce merchants
should treat farmers with the same
consideration that they, the mer-
chants, ask of the farmers. That is
cnly fair.
Speakers representing the local bus
iness organizations also made timely
remarks upon this subject. If far
mer is receiving credit from a mer-
chant he should not send his cash
away to a mail order establishment.
II he wishes to make cash purchases
get cash quotations from your home
merchants and spend your money
with him. When you buy at home
you can see what you are buying and
make an exchange If an article is un-
satisfactory. The home merchant
pays taxes, direct and indirect, that
serve to keep up local government
and local institutions such as schools
roads and churches. The mail order
house does nothing Of this sort. A
mail order house never extends you
credit when you may be in poor cir
cumstances and when your family
may be in need Of the necessities Of
life.
In the view of this paper whole
some results will follow yesterdays
meeting. 1t was a get together af-
fair in spirit as well as in name. Each
man present was ready to listen to the
other fellows side of the question and
did so. Incidentally he learned some
things that he should know. Me-
chants deserved to be reminded that
they are under obligations to local
produce raisers and farmers were in
need Of q few cold facts with refer

ence to the mail order habit into
which some of them have fallen.
Those who attended the meeting
yesterday realize now, If they did not
before, that each of the six organi-
sations represented at the convention
las a worthy and legitimate purpose,
No organization does work that is
inimioal to others bu in a general
way each organization is working for
dentally for the betterment of the
county At large, The six organiza-
tions should pull together better than
they have been doing in the past

HE WAS NOT DIsINTERESTED.

Andrew Carnegie at a dinner in
New York said of the war scare that
started up coincidentally with his
$10,000,OO0 peace fund gift:
1T wasn't, perhaps, a coincidence,
that war scare. Let us remember
what large interests are involved in
the maintenance of armies and arma-
ments and navies.
"These war scares that, arising so
opportunely, shut off so many peace
movements, make me think of Smith.

THE REASON.

when Lincoln was on circuit in
his lawyering days" says a Chicago
veteran, "he used to put up at some
pretty bad taverns-taverns where,
big as he was, by Crinus, he and the
judges and the lawyers would have
to sleep two and three in bed.
"And what beds they were! Once
after a wretched night Lincoln got
up and walked in his long night shirt
to a notice on the wall that said: mo
smoking in the bedrooms
HE chuckled grimly. Then he
took a pencil from his night shirt
pocket and scribbled beneath the no.

Efforts to Free Princess
Irene Proves Futile.
SISTER SHIP AT Her SIDE

Work of Transferring the Seventeen
Hundred Passengers Has Begun in
Surf Boats, With Lifesavers Stand.
ing By-No Excitement Among the
Passengers at Any Time Since the
Vessel Went Aground.
Lone Hill Life Station, l.. l., April 8.
-Transshpment of passengers from
the Princess Irene was begun at /
p. m, when a surf boat bearing fifteen
women left the Irenes lee side and
headed away for the relief ship Prinz
Frederick Wilhelm. The Princess
Irene had hoisted signals at 1915
which asked that boats be sent to her
suitable for transferring passengers
at sea-
Preparations to take off the Irene's
passengers went forward expeditiously
all during the morning. Captain Frank
station went out to the Irene in surf
boat, carrying breeches buoy line,
which was attached to the bow OF the
Irene. This was done as an emergen-
cy measure, In case storm develops.
The Irene looked like an immense
spider in a web of tow lines which
radiated from her stem and stern to
the bobbing fleet of revenue cutters
and tugs. Near noon, as the tide be-
gan to flood strongly, the lrene's big
propeller began churning the sea,
while the tugs strained laboriously to
free the steamship from the shoals.
The sands, however, hold the big ship
fast.
Rescue Plans Completed.
An accommodation ladder has been
let down on the lee side of the Irene,
down which the passengers Will De
taken to the boats for transfer to the
Prinz Frederick. Plans for removing
the passengers from the stranded
steamer were being shaped as the
from the harbor on her mission of res
cue. This was indicated by wireless
message from the Prinz Frederick Will
helm, sent as the former was steaming
out, and which was picked up here.
The Prinz Frederick Wilhelm Off
GERS In the message inquired II the
Irene would send her passengers off in
her own boats. 1t also asked the
Irenes officers to have each passenger
bring his supper food with him and to
give all the passengers their noon
meal on board.
There was not, and is not now, the
slightest sign of panic ntr excitement
among the passengers. They have
eaten Their meals regularly, and have
been entertained by band concerts.
