COOPERATION IN NEBRASKA
Farmers Congress Adopts Resolution
FaVoring Plan for System of
Agricultural Credit.

At a recent meeting of the Nebras-
ka Farmers Congress, held at Omaha,
the following resolution was adopted:
Whereas, After 800 years of the
American system Of agriculture, in
the last so years Of which millions
upon millions of dollars have been
expended for higher agricultural edu
cation and agricultural experiments,
the advance reports of the united cen
sus show conclusively that the proper
ton of rural to urban population is
decreasing, and,
Whereas, The average yields of
the great food staples in the United
States are only fraction of the po-
tential possibilities of the soil, as Is
demonstrated by the much greater
yields in the leading European coun.
tries, followed in those countries by
an increase in land ownership and de
crease in tenantry, proving conclu
sively that the care of the land and
the contentment of the people so that
they will remain on the land are prob
lens which must be solved rightly, II
the bread-basket of the nation is tC
be kept filled, and,
Whereas, Great progress has beer
made in some of the countries of Eu
rope, and particularly in Germany, il
the solution of these problem!
through a system of cooperative agri
cultural credits, and,
Whereas, The International Insti
tute of Agriculture representative o
40 governments of which the United
States is one, has rendered its as
sistance to the farmers of Nebrask;
in the study and solution of this prob
lem; therefore,
BE it Resolved, That this congress
create a committee of seven to devils
and formulate a system of co-opera
tive agricultural credit for the farm
ers of Nebraska and report upon thi

MANAGING HIS OWN AFFAIRS
Movements Every Man Must Work
Out Own Salvation.
To the Officers and Members of tn

To the officers and Members of the
Farmers Union
Did you ever hear the good old eX
horters and revivalists tell you that
you must work out your own saliva
ton?
Well, the same principle applies to
successful farming, and to the sue
cess of farmers organizations in Sc
curing the reforms for which they are
contending by legislation. and with
their own ranks.
There's no such thing as enlist1ng
In the battle of life and then paying
A substitute. If you do, you'll either
have to be satisfied with short ra-
tons or wake up some morning and
ind that the substitute has walked
off with the bacon, the Carnegie med
ii and the laurel wreath. 1t would be
lust like you then, to growl that the
world had given you a"cold deal
lay it down as a broad, first princl-
ole that we've got to learn to manage
our own affairs, whether on the farm
)r within the organization, before the
world takes us with the degree Of Sc
riousness our numbers and our i'm
)ortance TO the world really justiiies.
If you demand of your representa-
i've, for instance, that he vote for the
'ecall, or trimming the New York cot
ION exchange, and he passes your
place and sees the chimney tumbling
Town, weeds in your fields, and just
Jew razor-backs roofing around, he
ISN'T apt to get busy and obey your
orders.
If you elect as your Farmers union
officials, or the president of some
union enterprise, some oily, smiling,
hand-shaking, baby-kissing brother,
Just because he is these things, rather
than for the fact that he has proved
himself a good farmer, a good bust
ness man and a good leader of men,
you are evading your share of per-
sonal responsibility, and you have no
right to complain if things hit the
ceiling Or If you get into the halle
lujah-lick at a meeting and promise
to support almost any old enterprise
suggested, and then go home and for
get all about it, you needn't come
around with the hypocritical criticism
that there isn't anything in farm
ers' organization" and that you're
not getting your moneys worth.
These are just few instances of
the need of exerting personal respon-
sibility, if you succeed in your own
affairs, and if you would have this
organization achieve the ends for
which it was founded. 1t is we'll to
remember them at the beginning OF
the new year.

FER COSTUME A TRIUMPH
As breakfast for ONE Clever Girl
Carried Away Highest Honors at

If the girl of infinite resource and
sagacity hadn't happened to stop and

Inspiration for her costume might
have been something quite different.
With purse very nearly emptied by
the purchase of ones new winter furs,
1t is no simple matter to be suddenly
confronted by the need to evolve a
character costume for a kirmess that
shall not be like anything one has
worn before. But the table damask
solved the difficulty. She would go to
the kirmess as Breakfast for One.
The damask was mere coarse mercer
ICED cotton of course, but while new
1t had quite the appearance of linen,
and of it her dress was made, the
rather stiffly folded apron overskirt
having a fringed out edge and little
pocket. The pocket was to all APP

and from 1t peeped a brown Vienna
roll of PAPER mache The dainty lit
tie plate, which was literally her
breastplate, was also a clever imita-
ton of delicate porcelain and was suf-
f1ciently small to allow space on eth
er side of 1t for knife, fork and spoon,
and single red rosebud, secured to

as II for the first meal of the day.
Poised on one shoulder was diminu-

girdle hung a shining toast rack. To
crown all, literally, on her pretty wav.

lattice weave, from which waved green
fronds. "Why!" exclaimed her chum,

Chauncey Camp has been appointed

Meridian Has Let Nearly a Dozen
Candidates Go-Progress Around
the Circuit.

Jackson, Miss, March 20.-Frank
OFT, star backstop of the Jackson team
in 1908, who played prominent part
in landing the pennant for the capital
city, has been signed by Manager Ken
needy, of the Meridian team, and will
be In the uniform of a White Ribbon
er this year.
According to ante-season dope, OFT
shows up in good form, and is appar
emily as good at pegging bases and
holding young catchers in control as
he was four years ago when, by com
mon consent, he was regarded as the
best catcher in the Cotton States lea
qua.
Robertson, .the youngster who per-
formed behind the plate in 1911 for
Jackson, looks to be in the pink of
condition, and will doubtless make
good for his old job. Manager Mont
gomery has another hkely-looking lad
on the practice lot in the person of
Maston, who is also fast outfielder.
Although he has one or two recrui1i
in line Manager Mills will probably de.
pend chiefly on the veteran Guitteriz
as backstop of the Hill Billies.
Manager Smith, of Hattiesburg, and
Manager Collins, of Greenwood, are
developing new material. Little can
be learned concerning Gene Demon

cept that he is likely to use abou,

are said to be greater than eitnel

an authority perfect linoleum car
pet has twice the resistance of a tile
floor against wear, and more thar
four times that of wooden floor IN
actual use, however, this is far from
the case, but this is said to be due
to faulty and uneven laying of the
