A Merry Crowd.

Last Thursday quite crowd went to
the river and carried their dinner to
spend the day. Fishing, bear hunting
flor there wasn't any squirrels) and
cooking we're the chief sports OF the day.
The children romped and played in the
swing and when night came ii seemed
that they were ready to give up. Rock
was played by great many and it
seemed that Miss Posey was the cham
pion Of the day.
Long about dinner time q fire was
started on the ground and everybody
was ready to take hand in helping to
grind the stove wood, frying the fish,
making the coffee, breaking up ice,
making lemonade and ice cream. And
of all the eats, the women folks had
certainly fixed up good things Of all
kinds that were fit for any king to stand
before. Everybody eat until they
couldn t rest and would have to stand
with their backs to the table to reach
for more.
After dinner was over some OF the
boys went stroIIing off up the river
looking for some kind Of excitement,
and soon returned with about seventy
five or eighty pounds q fish which they
had caught in the slough very near the
river.
Everybody stayed until quite late.
Left just ia time to get home before
dark, all Wishing that the sun was just
rising instead OF setting, because they
had had SO much fun they hated TO
leave. But we hope to live to see just
such another time again, as this day will
long be- remembered by those present.
Those present we're Mr.. Ed Hauser |

The heavens declare The glory Of God.
The armament sheweth his haudiwork.
Day unto day uttereth speech,
And night unto night sheweth knowledge
The bible.
So long as may see one star
Hur lances OF light through the dark
halls OF night.
As it marches Ger fields OF heaven afar;
So long as may behold the moon
Climb up in all her modest glory.
Treading beneath her feet the gloom
OF night. as soberly she walks DER me;
And. mayhap. in obeisance proud,
Shopping through fieecy cloud, =
Which does round about her trail
Like a sweet brides silver veil,
While her cleaning robe is streaming
Wide DER the heaven, and she IS beam
ing
Like beauteous angel dreaming,
On couch Of gold,
Of joys manifold
So long shah / feel that God is there
In his paradise above,
Keeping us, with special care,
Meath his brooding wings Of love.
And in reverence I will bow
To the God, as ] do now,
While nom the eternity,
| whispering through aisles ofimmensity,
A still small voice speaks to me
OF the passing beauty
OF worshiping through love, more than
from sense OF duty.

The ChuckaIuck Game.

AAO |AA-A~A~@@t-@rr ~-~~+@--~s
4 tax OF one-tenth OF one per cent
on transactions in cotton futures has
been incorporated in the tariff bill soon
to be reported to the Senate with pros
poets OF favorable action and brokers,
ia the South especially. forthwith set
up howl. They have also prevailed
upon some OF the newspapers TO take
up the protest. The fact Of the BUSH
ness is that number OF leading papers
. and magazines are undertaking TO show
that margin speculation. where moth
ing is actually bought or sold, is Iegiti-
mate business and beneficial to the
planter. They are, Of course, empha-
sizing this point in order to flank their
position. The bill provides that this
tax does not apply to transactions which
call for actual delivery Of the staple.
So, therefore, it does not eliminate the
real purpose Of future dealings, but
does aim TO prohibit the gambling fea-
lures.
Now, everybody knows that fight
has been going on for years between
Che farmer end the broker, and the
farmer, single-handed, has been COM
PEELED to accept the dictations Of the
combination. including buyer and
broker. It seems that the combina-
ton has been able To manipulate and
cause an artiicialiy low price about
market time, and this is the cause Of
the fight. The cotton grower wants the
best market price for his product He
wants this price regulated by the natural
causes Of supply and demand and not
by set or syndicate Of spectators.
who are able, through the corporation
of the money trust, to materially re-
duce prices of cotton when il is baled
for market. -
That il where the fight has been
made, and now when the cotton plant
on is striking at the real cause Of the
trouble through Congress the margin
al dealings. the levers Of manipulation
the broker and the combination seek
the cover Of the dear farmers interests.
This measure, the tax on futures, is
the means through which the farmers
are seeking relief, and they have aimed
at the heart on the trouble.
They might have confined their efforts
to outside firing for years and years
without result. The fact is that the
combination Of spectators and brokers
have SO manipulated the markets that
they have been able TO dictate and CON
troll prices and terms on produce Of
every kind. The wheat producer is
also subject to the same kind Of arrange
ment. So also is the tobacco grower; i
and 10 say that IL is necessary for the
American people, the cotton planter
and producer, to submit their products
tothe operations Of . chuckaluck game,
more respectfully called margin specu-
lation, Is an admission that we should
not be proud to make.
The idea that margin speculation,
which does not contemplate the actual
buying or selling Of product, protects
the planter, is one that we fall to grasp.

Fire Spread Over so Acres

Considerable excitement was caused
in East Madrid recently by fire set
by the engine on the Barnjum spur
track. 1t spread rapidly, burning
the buildings with 30 tons of hay OF
Frank Barnjum, formerly known as
the Ira Wing place. Ralph Nc
Laughlin also lost five tons Of hay,
which he had stored in the barn. Aid
was asked and responded to quickly
a train load OF men arriving from
Phillips and the mill at Barnjum was
shut down So the men could assist
The fire spread over so acres it is
estimated, burning much lumber for
Mr. Barnjum, also lumber for N. d.
Wing, besides burning the shed and
several acres of grass land known as
the plains. 1t was only by hard work
that the schoolhouse was saved, as il
caught fire several times. BY night
the fire was under control and the
rain on Friday finally extinguished
the fire.

BEST WAY TO CURE PORK
System that Southern Family Has
Followed Since Colonial Days

Prof. H. 8. Mobley, Fayetteville,
Arkansas, has used for years a system
of curing meat that has been followed
with success in his family in Virginia
from generation to generation since
Colonial days. 1t has been tested by
hundreds of people in many Southern
States and every one has found it
more reliable for home curing than
any other method Professor Mobley
furnished his method to the Agricul-
tural Department of the Rock Island
Lines for distribution.
A day should be selected for killing
when the temperature is low enough
to insure thorough cooling by the
following morning, the hogs being
dressed and hung over night.
On the morning of the day the hogs
are killed, for each 400 pounds of
meat make a brine as follows: 20
gallons of rain water; 80 pounds of
salt; ounces of baking soda; 10
pounds of brown sugar; l gallon of
molasses, (use good molasses, not the
adulterated kind) This fluid should
be boiled and skinned in the morning
and left to cool in shady place.
When cool, add three ounces of salt
peter. Dissolve the saltpeter in warm
water and stir thoroughly.
The following morning cut up the
Put the sides of the meat or mid
dlings in the bottom and the shoulders
next, and hams on top of these, all
with the skin side down. Weight the
meat down we'll and pour the brine
over until the meat is completely COW
cred. Then cover the top of the bar
rel with some good thick covering
that will prevent evaporation.
Look at the meat often enough to
see that the brine has not evaporated
so as to leave any meat exposed. If
it should become exposed more brine
should be added. The meat can be
left in the brine indefinitely, but IL il
is desired to smoke the meat, i
should be taken out in about six
weeks.
If our southern farmers will use
their method and cure their own meat
at home, they will save neat sum
each year.
If it has been your custom to put up
the supply of family meat by curing
with dry salt, and you do not care to
risk all of it by another method, then
try a barrel or two,' using the above
plan and compare the results.

Frightful Burns About Body

Frightful burns about the body
which are expected to prove fatal
were received, May 81, at Cary, by Mr.

old child, while playing near a pan
For a time the child was a living

veloped the infant Life was not
extinct when the fire was extinguish-

and deep that there appeared to be

Rescues Children from Burning Home

While making an early morning call
at the home of her mother just across
the street, Thursday morning, Mrs.
Harry Bickford of Oakland was hor-
rified to see the rear part of her own
home in flames. Her first thought
was for her three little children rang
ing in ages from one to five years,
who had been left asleep in the upper
part of the house. She made dash
across the street and upstairs, group
ing about in the binding smoke until
she located the children. She carried
one out to safety without trouble but
with her double burden the second trip
fell and badly injured one arm. The
smoke had become suffocating by that
time and Mrs .Bickford had great diff
ficulty in retaining consciousness long
enough to find her way out. She
managed to keep hold of the two chill
dren and to drag them along with
her to safety. The building and con-
tents were destroyed, all the clothing
