A Girl Of Gold
BY ANNA PHILLIPS SEE
tcssyrisht. 1911. by Associated Literary Prs...,

For a servant to play the piano and
play It well is an unusual thing Mrs.
Green. the harassed keeper OF New
York lodging house. wondered at her
German maids proficiency. But New
York Is the clearing house Of the ma
lions and Mrs. Green had learned not
to be surprised at strange happen
ings. Elsa had come to her with nc
recommendation but her honest face
and her willingness to work She told
her employer nothing of her past.
At Mrs. Green's there was plenty
to do and the German maid toiled al
day long uncomplainlngly. When hel
work was done she asked for but one
privilege-to play on the battered
piano in the parlor II no one wal
about. Then and then only she smiled
as she drew from the keys the meio
dies Of her fatherland. Why she had
left that country was her own secret
but she was plainly pining for hel
home and people.

WAR ON IOWA co-oPERAToRs
Suit Brought at DEBORAH TO EnJoIn
Association From Doing Business
Farmer Must Fight Hard.

In DEBORAH, Ia, the cooperative
buyers association has been made q
defendant In court, says the Orange
Judd Farmer. A local buyer not in
the association claims the maintenance
clause is unlawful and seeks to en-
Join the co-operators from doing busi-
ness. Now, II this maintenance
clause is unlawful, the sooner
the co-operators find It out the
better. Then is viii be up to
them to discover some other meth
cd Of holding their members together.
They must make up their minds to
fight the middleman and Transports
ton companies. and consequently
must be prepared to meet any move.
They have won out in 90 many cases
that the final outcome Is not In Ques-
ton. Recently q prominent railroad
man made the public statement that
half the value Of the agricultural prod
ucts Of the United States was con-
sumed by the middleman- This con-
dition, II true, Is so wholly out of pro-
portion that 1t is nothing short of
scandalous. These cooperative assoc
Citations of various kinds are eliminat-
ing part Of this burdensome' expense.
The only trouble Is that the co-opera-
| tors are not well enough organized
to secure the benefits they should.
Let each cooperative Organization
fight the encroachments Of the mid
dleman. Don't be discouraged II this
Iowa proposition Is decided against
you. Cooperation is legitimate.

GREAT AWAKENING OF SOUTH
Beginning to Realize Duty In peveL
opnsent Of Agricultural, Mining
and Other Industries.

There is great awakening taking
place in the south-awakening to q
realization Of her duty in the devel-
opment Of her agricultural. mining.

sibilities. These possibilities lay dor
mant for decades. but recent years
have revealed the fact that her citi-
zens are not unmindful Of their pos
sessions and have awakened from
their slumber and are producing rad
zeal changes in our economic condi-
lions.
In no section Of the south is this
more marked than In Texas. says the
Houston Post. While great awaken
ing has been manifested along all in
dustrial lines the most marked is
shown in the development of our agri-
cultural resources. This has followed
the installation Of new agricultural
machinery on the farm and the intro
duction of new agricultural methods
and the Improvement Of farm live
stock. The agencies that have been
the chief factor In this awakening are
the demonstration farm plan OF the
United States department Of agricul-
ture and the Inauguration Of the farm
ers institute by the state department
OF agriculture. These two great again.
cies have worked in unison In en-
phasizing the Importance Of adopting
saner methods on the farm and In the
orchards.
The Texas farmers have caught on
70 contagion Of progress and have
learned that with the opportunity of
labor has come the opportunity of
SUCCESS. They have learned that to
succeed they must work with their
brains as well as with their hands;
and learning this they have been able
TO overcome the greatest obstacle
and conquer the hardest circumstan.
ces. They have learned that indus.
try Is needed to develop the resources
Of talent as well as of soil And what
q change has come with this realiza-
ton. Lands that were utilized in
growing inferior crops of cotton. corn
and other grains are producing paying
crops Of onions. cabbage. celery. can
taloupes and other crops for which
.here are great demands. Low lands
have been drained and made fertile
and productive. Dry lands have beer
irrigated and planted to alfalfa, fruits
and other crops and Thousand chan
ges made that are contributing com
fort to the home owner and wealth
to the state.
