1t is estimated that the southern

All of this tremendous waste of mon
ey is made possible through lack Of
cooperation on the part of the garden
ers and farmers, while at the same
time it makes the city man pay much
higher price for the produce than he
should
Among the men in big business en-
terprises cooperation has been recog-
nized as the golden key to success in
the twentieth century. Cooperation
and close organization, however, are
products of education, and education
Is the weak point in most of our ru-
raj communities. Cooperation among
farmers and growers has failed largely
because the mass of our rural pOpula-
ton has been poorly educated and at
the same time scattered over a wide
territory. In the future our success In
organization and cooperation among
farmers, gardeners and fruit growers
will lie in better schools, in better
teachers, wide awake ministers and a
closer community life.
Versailles is finishing q successful

One OF George D. Burdetl's "reminiscences

Mr.. Genrge D. Burdett who is spend

interest of the Central Life Insurance
Co., has Lancaster history as tar back
as before the war readily at his ton
CUES end. Fond of telling an anecdote.
and with an interesting one ever ready
to tell, he relates the following, which
was suggested to him by the column
published in last weeks Record taken
from the Lancaster News published
during the prevalence Of cholera here
in 1873.
'When the cholera broke out in 1873

possessed of black skin, had heart

his own simple way to the very best of
his abilities, and often to the conster-

stinted esteem of all classes. both white
and colOred, because of the fact that
he was undoubtedly a Cody man as
well as an upright, good citizen. This
esteem and respect was augmented by
the fact that he did not desert his post
when the scourge of pestilence visited
the community and the people stood
sadly in need of spiritual mlnistration.
One Sabbath while the plague was
raging Uncle Washington held services
at the court house, his audience was
| composed of all the able bodied colored
people of the community, literally in
terspersed with the white people who
were able to attend or had not sought
refuge in flight. Uncle Washington
took his text upon the visitation of the
plague, and after haranguing his al
dlence for some time, he gave this ver-
sion of its Look hyar you

when Colonel EXall decides things
ought to be done the things usually
have a way of getting done. He at
once inaugurated the Texas industrial
congress, which offered $4,000 in
gold as prizes for crops in all parts of
Texas. 1t was soon evident that the
5000 in gold was the least expensive
part Of the undertaking for the various
contestants must be kept in touch with
each other and the congress. The I'M
dertaking cost $4,000 for the first
year. Colonel EXall raised the funds.
This year 1000 men, women, boys
and girls contested for the prizes and
the whole state is awake to the fact
that results are being produced. In
fact this feeling has become so strong
that group of business men are pre-

congress for period of three years.
