My daughter suffered years from
Epileptic Fits. had 8 to 4 attacks in a
week, often that many in a single day.
Our doctor treated her without any
results. Rev. Otto Meier recommended
Pastor Koenig's Nerve Tonic, which
she took, and after that would not get
more than one. ht or 2 fits in a month.
Upon advise from the doctor of the
Koenig Medical Co. we give her the
Antiepileptic Tablets besides, and she
has had no attack since.

/. Two Good Stories.

Our Sunday Magazine tomorrow will
contain some especially good stories and
articles. and the following issue-that of
February 5-will see the beginning of
our short story contest, in which many
of the most famous writer's will partici-
pate. "A Mans Opportunity" by E. NJ.
Jameson, and "A Warning 10 Faddists."
by E. F. Benson. 1t happens that two
of the stories for tomorrow are by Eng
lish authors. but they both know how
to write of American life. The Jameson
tale is about love and courageous sacri-
flee and the plot turns on a self-made
mans discovery that man can do big
things whether necessity drives him to 1t
or not. The Benson story is a clever
satire on health faddists. The fate of
Bertram Porter should be a warning to
all of them.

That there will be many new faces iE
the Senate when it's next session opens is
shown by the fact that fourteen of those
already chosen are not now in the Sem

sors are yet to be chosen, with the possible
exception of one or two, will be new. In
addition, the permanent filling of four
other vacancies caused by death will in

Thought Out Machine in 1894.

AS far back as 1894 he had thought out
a dirigible, and would have placed his
plans before the Chinese government if
he had entertained the least hope of their
being accepted. AS he did not possess
the necessary funds for experimental pur-
poses. and knew that if he offered his in
vention to the Chinese to promote pub
lie company he would be written down
as crank or mailman, he sent. in the
year 1889. plans of his dirigible airship.
with particulars Of construction, to Sir
Hiram Maxim. who was then the leading
authority in matters pertaining to the
conquest of the air. with the request that
he should build the airship and associate
his (Mr. Tse's) name with his (Sir
Hiram's).
Sir Hiram replied that he was already
In possession of Mr.. Tse's secret and
principles for the conquest of the air.
Previous to this. says Mr. Use. nobody
had come forward with theory for
dirigible airship similar to his Count
Zeppelin and Santos Dumont followed
many years afterward. Like Mr.. va
NADIA, the Toxic inventor, Mr.. Use be-,
lieves the dirigible to be the airship of
the future.

IN INTEREST OF FARMERS

PRESIDENT BARRETT URGES
THAT THE TIME HAS COME, TO
CONSIDER THE AMALGAMATION
OF ALL FARMERS UNION
WAREHOUSES;, GRAIN ELEyA-
TORS AND SIMILAR INDUSTRIAL
ENTERPRISES.
To the Officers and Members Of the
Farmers Union:
It is needless to rem nd the farmer
either Of the Southern or w stern
States that the success Of the organi-
zation's program is very largely de-
scientific marketing of crops
In the Southern States the main
consid GRAFTON is cotton. In the Middle
and far Western States the main fac
tors are grain and fruit.
Smaller products figure but these
large items are those with which we
are principally concerned at the pres
ent time.
In. the South we have long realized
that the farmer will never be assured
that return for his staple justified by
it's intrinsic value unless he shall mar
ket it in a systematic manner.
The evils and penalties of the old
method are obvious. The cotton crop
mainly comes on the market in three
and a half months. from approximate
ly the first of Septemoe until the 10Th
of December. Here and there are ex-
ceptions to the rule, but the interval
I have mentioned constitutes the main
selling season.
Unfortunately the manufacturing
season and the selling season for the
manufactured goods are not restrict
ed to this three and a half months
period. Both run the year around
unless abnormal condit ons interfere
with the natural law.
The result Of the conflict between
the method Of marketing cotton in
a lump and selling the finished prod
uct over a normal period is apparent
When several million Southern farm
ers are clamoring to dump their prod
uct on the market in exchange for
cash, it is evident that they are not
going to obtain a IA II ~rice for it.
The speculator, or spinner, is thus
la weapon created by the farmer him
self to boat down prices, or at least
Ito so demoraliZe the market as to make
the farmer the prey of circumstance.
With various notifications, the same
conditions apply to the marketing of
corn, wheat and other products in the
Middle and the far West.
1t tiS an insane economic system
that does not provide for feedin" out
products in response to the orderly
law of demand, instead Of in one gush-
ing volume.
Corporation is the one solution.
In the Southern States we have
sought to meet the situation by erect
ing a chain of warehouses. which. shall
hold bonded cotton and issue against
it negotiabie receiDts upon which suf
ficient may be borrowed to settle PR 5
ing indebtednesses.
The farmers Of the West have per
haps preceded us in the way Of erect
ing grain elevators. although even IN
this section the advent Of the Farmer
Union has been followed by marked
progress.
In two or three of the Southern
States and in more than one of the
Western states some of the wiser lead
