SUCCESS IN COOPERATION
Farmers Is Shown at Cadmus,
Kansas.

A striking illustration of successful
Grange cooperation is furnished in
Kansas, where the Patrons Co-opera
tive association of Cadmus Is doing a
remarkable work for the good OF the
farmers of that state.
This association long ago passed the
experimental stage, for it started In
1876, and has been doing business con-
tinually ever since, growing steadily
and with an overwhelming field Thus
| with a record of almost forty years
business, this association affords
! striking illustration of what the farm
ers may do in cooperation, when the
effort is rightly conducted. along
strictly business lines.
In June, 1873, Grange was organ
lied at the schoolhouse one-half mile
west of the Corners, and three years
later this Grange began to buy lit
tie on the cooperative plan A char-
ter was taken out for the Patrons Co
operative association and J. S. Payne,
living one-fourth of a mile west OF the
store, was elected as manager or the
association. The members started
with subscription paper. and man,
aged to get $65 all in one sum, ana
Mr.. Payne's kitchen became the
storeroom for this large and varied
assortment of goods. Soon more
room was needed, and in 1873 build
ing 20 by so feet was erected at the
corner one-fourth of mile east.
Business kept on growing and SIX
years later an addition % by 36 feet
was added.
The little store continued to grow,
and in 1890 another addition was add
ed, making the store 104 feet long
and varying in width from 20 to %
feet At this time $4,000 stock was
carried, consisting of groceries, hard
ware, dry goods, implements, furnl-
ture, patent medicines, etc. Seven
years later 1901. the association
erected on the opposite side of the
road a two story stone building, 40 by
100 feet, 16 feet to lower ceiling, 40 by
moved their stock from the old build
ing to the new quarters. The Grange
hall occurred rs feet of the second
story, and the remaining Is feet was
used for clothing Mr. Blair resigned
in 1908, after 10 years of service
and Is now manager of the Spring
Hill Cooperative association at
Spring Hill, Kan. He was succeeded
as managed at Cadmus by Theo.
Mcintyre, bright young man who
had beer witt the association for
seven years previous. About five
years ago the entire stock of goods
and this new building were destroyed
by ire
Not a dollars worth of goods was
saved but fortunately the stock was
partially insured, and before the fire
lad ceased to burn the board of d.
rectors and Patrons met and made
plans for a new building the same
size, and every year since then the
association has done prosperous and
steadily increasing business.
There is no way Of estimating the
value this association has been to the
community at Cadmus, but it has
paid out in dividends to its patrons
probably rot less than $4,000, be-
sides having as much more of undl-
vided profits invested in stock and
buildings.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease and prescribed local remedies.
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven Catarrh to be a consti-
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Balls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only Constitu
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for apv
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars

Some Historical Facts

R. B. Bradley attended the celebl alton
at Williston last week Wednesday and
Thursday, this being the place where his
grandparents first settled. Here are some
historical facts written by Brainard Brad
ley, son of Joseph Bradley, who was Il.
B. Bradley's great grandfather, which
will be interesting to News and Citizen
readers: Joseph Bradley, my father, son
of James Bradley, was born in New Hav-
en-, Conn.,, and married Neoma Taylor,
daughter of Edward Taylor of Beckett,
Mass, in Sunderland, VT, Nov %, 17I2,
and moved from Sunderland to Willston
Nov. list, 1855, with their son, Brainard
Bradley, into log cabin Tor hoveD about
twelve feet square and covered with
straight hollow Eastwood logs, corked or
chinked with moss. The location was
about FIVE miles from any habitation of
man, and here lived from the first of
November until The middle of Marc h
without seeing any other persons at their
abode during the whole time except their
own family.
Their food was composed of flooded
corn and potatoes, without milk or flesh,
and now and then a partridge or some
thing of the like. You ask why. When
my father and mother moved from Sun
derland nv mother rode on a horse and
carried me in her lap, taking only what
articles she could pack on the horse, ex-
pectiug their provisions and household
furniture to be conveyed to them by a
company that was to come by the first
snow. However, they were disappointed,
as not enough snow fell to whiten the
ground until March.
| have heard my mother say that the
morning it began to snow they had but
little to eat and she felt very much the
want of food. They were made very hap
by when they saw through the cracks in
the cabin (as they had no wndows) the
snow falling and were soon relieved from
ply in her life.
My grandfather, who was coming, i'm
proved the opportunity afforded by the
snow storm and was in Williston in about
eight or ten days.
My father and mother died on the same
lot of land on which they began, and
had a comfortable living and gave each
boy one hundred pounds and each girl
one-half that sum, to the mutual satisfac-
ton of all so far as has ever been known.

Jay Edwin Budwie, president of the
My Coca company, committed suicide yes
terday afternoon at 445 o'clock at his
residence, 1904 Seventeenth avenue, south,
by shooting himself with a heavy calibre
revolver once through the middle of the
forehead. The bullet went straight
through the head and out in the back
of the brain. Mr. Budwig died at 12:07
O'Clock this morning.
Funeral arrangements over the remains
of Mr.. Budwig win be announced later.
The deceased is survived by his widow,
Mrs. Diva Budwig, and one son, Gilbert
Budwig.
Mystery seems to surround the suicide
of Mr. Budwig as there was no appar-
ent cause for his attempting self-destruc-
tion. 1t is said that his business af-
fairs were in excellent shape and GER
tainly no business worries entered into
his sudden despondency. His wife was
in Savannah, Ga, looking after the af-
fairs of a syrup factory, another busi-
ness enterprise of Mr. Budwig's, and she
is Fastening to Birmingham.
Mrs. c. b. Marbim, who is the house
keepers for Mr.. Budwig, and his son Gil
bert, was the first person to discover Mr..
Budwig. She had heard the shot from
the back of the house. Mrs. Marbim i'm
mediately notified Johns ambulance and
the mortally wounded man was taken to
the Robinson infrmary, where he died
Mr.. Budwig went about his plans very
deliberately, for he wrote and addressed
a letter to Coroner c. l.. Spain of Jeffer-
son county, to be opened after death.
Coroner Spain was notified and said that
he would open the letter this morning.
The real reason for Mr.. Budwig's suicide
is expected to be in this last written
message. He never regained consciousness
after shooting himself.
Mrs. j. e. Budwig, wife of the head
of the My-Coca company, was telegraphed
the news in Savannah, Ga, and she
Immediately started for Birmingham in
the hopes of reaching her husbands bed
side before he died.
According to p. f. Jaqua, vice presi-
dent and secretary of the My-Coca COM
pany, dependency was the cause of Mr.
Budwig's suicide. He stated that he and
c. B. Marbim. another business asso-
ciate of Mr.. Budwigs were at the Ath-
letic club when a telephone message told
them of what Mr.. Budwig had done. They
Immediately hurried to the Budwig resi-
dence and later to the infirmary
j. e. Budwig was a we'll known busi-
ness man in Birmingham, a prominent
lodge man, and was about 40 years of
age. He was associated with the Bud
wig Myers Clay Manufacturing company
and several other concerns in this city
and elsewhere
News that Mr.. Budwig had attempted
suicide did not become public for some
time as great precautions were taken
