price for their grain. The other ele- vators now pay one to two cents above market price. yet they are able to get but little grain.
 Not wanting to swell the coffers of the Insurance companies they organ ized the Farmers Mutual company: President, Fred Schmidt; secretary, s. I. knutson. The assessments were three mills 1909, two mills 1908, four mills 1907, and one mill 1906
 Not having any place to meet they organized stock company with R. H. Soelle as president and H. c. Bun dy as secretary. They wanted a building 30 by 60, with a full base. ment. The contractors wanted s3,500. The farmers thought that this was too much so they hired men to do the work and superintended the work themselves. They save $f,G00 on the building
 When they held farmers' institute recently they met in their own hall. brought their families and picnic dinner. The basement contains din- Ing room, kitchen, two cloak rooms and coal room. Here the children play ed and had a good time while their elders were entertained and instructed upstairs. When noon came all re- paired to the dining room. Meanwhile the orchestra furnished music. They all stayed at the hall, no hanging around grocery stores, pool rooms and livery barns.
 It will be interesting to know that many of these farmers raised fine crops of corn this year. It will also be interesting to know that they wanted such subjects discussed as corn and clover growing, dairying. silage and rotation of crops.
 It will not be easy to estimate the independence and sense of power that this successful cooperating will de- yelop in this community.

FRUIT ASSOCIATION IN WEST
isfied With Low Prices Form Or ganization for Protection.

The Western Slope Mutual Fruit Growers association seems to be in line as a success It Is organized by a number of Grand valley ranchers who were dissatisfied with the low prices received for some of their fruit, says the Denver Field and Farm. It now promises to reach over the entire fruit country on the western slope. The movement originated in an at tempt by the orchardists to rid them selves of the awful middlemen who will hold a meeting of their own out in Sacramento, California, to deter mine in turn what they will do to the fruit growers and so the merry war goes on. The plan of the new mutual association is that no person who is not raising fruit can hold stock and re- ceive dividends of the concern. The ranchers claim that the profits from their fruit is eaten up by dividends to stockholders in the present shipping associations who formerly owned or chards and raised fruit but who have sold their land. Tbe ranchers also charge that the officers of the present association are receiving too large sal aries, 7,5OO year being paid to the manager of the Grand Junction assoc iation Under the new system only the men actually raising fruit can be stockholders in the association and then only on an acreage basis. One share will be issued for every acre bearing fruit The plant of the Pal isade peach association has been pur- chased by the new mutual company for $500 and negotiations are on for the purchase of several of the larger associations so as to wind up their little ball of yarn. The whole plan thus far evolved In Colorado proves that organization alone Is not the only thing necessary to fetch good prices and we will have to try something smarter The trouble with most or the shipping associations is that they become top-heavy with expense and this eats up the profits.

 The range of the outbreak, so far as has been discovered, extends along both sides of the West Jersey and Sea shore railroad from Mt Pleasant to near Ocean City, and over uncultivated ground for mile to the northwest There are mounds to be seen in the woodland but they are different in formation from those in the open coun- try.
 With the first indications of an eruption word was sent to Dr. l.. O.. Howard of the Bureau of Entomology, Washington, and to Doctor Smith of the New Jersey bureau. Both pro nounced 1t the work of the 17-year To- cust, but without precedent, it then being a year in advance of the time scheduled for the insects to appear. Doctor Smith sent an assistant to make an investigation. He reported that the mounds were the work of the cicada septendecum, but that it was of an unusual character. A careful ob- servation of the appearing of the To- custs Is to be made in Cape May county. where, 1t is believed. they will be more numerous.

Alberta Man Emissary to That State to Secure Wives for Hunters

Ottawa, kan-"We want marriage able women," was the substance of a message received here by w. R. Hutchinson, from Alberta, Canada. We understand that Ottawa has lots of good looking widows and girls of marriageable age, who have no tmme- diate prospects or intentions in a mat rimonial way"
 Oliver Moore. formerly of Ottawa, now of Alberta, who Is here on visit, was the bearer of the message He was in earnest, too. There are no women at all up there, said MT. Moore. Tt has been too cold for them. Why, it has been 50 degrees below zero for week now"
 The hunters and lumbermen of All ber.a have organized themselves into a society for the purpose of mutual as sistance in search for wives, MT. Moore. who came down to Kansas on business, was given full authority to bargain for as many women as he could get. He agrees to take all who will go under the promise of being married inside of 30 days after they are there He has gone 10 counting noses here. with the assistance of his friends, and he has found S2 who could just as we'll go as not

"GREEN' TEAS TO BE BROWN
After First of May No Artificially Col. ored Product Can Be Imported
 Into Country.

New York-Popular brands of low priced teas, including "gunpowder" and other time honored favorites, will don a motley garb after May l. After that date. according to government di- rection, no more artificially colored teas can be imported. and as re- suit many of the teas which have ap- peared in beautiful green shades for 100 years or more will come in here after in hues of brown. yellow and green.
 According to statement from the Importers association, the trade all over the country is unanimous in ap- proving the new regulation. Green tea will still be green. but the color will be more natural. The artificial coloring heretofore used by the Chi nese to emphasize the greenness of their product and to impart a uniform color and gloss to the leaves, harm less dye. will be eliminated
 The general public here knows lit tie about tea America is not a great tea drinking nation. The per capita consumption is only one pound year, whereas in Canada it Is six pounds and in Great Britain nearly seven pounds. Tea is popular all over Europe be cause of it's economy. A 30 cent pound of tea will provide at least 250 cups of generous strength, while a % cent pound of coffee, the American bever- age, is good for not more than 80 cups"
