'Uh. very we'll relied Allen.

'Uh, very we'll rel:lied Allen.
When he left the house few min.
utes later he dropped note of invi.
tation into the nearest post box and
grinned.
Three days later he asked his wife:
"Are the Doolittles coming?"
Eyes, Mrs. Doolittle telephoned an
enthusiastic acceptance. She has had
some Of her Paris photographs en-
larged and she's going to bring them
over to show us"
"Has Doolittle had any photographs
taken of his moose story?"
atom. you ought to be ashamed"
II am, my dear; but I'd rather be
ashamed than hear that story again.
BY the way, did you remember to
send your regrets to Mrs. Matheson?"
mo"
"Why not?"
swell, it's awfully strange, Tom, and
I can't understand 1t at all-we're not
invited by the Mathesons."
"Not invited! And the sacrifice on
the Doolittle altar Is all for nothing?
"But can't see why they didn't In
vite u.s." persisted Mrs. Allen.
The night Of the party after the Doc.
Titles had taken leave, Mrs. Allen
gazed dolefully from her front win
dows. "Just look how gay 1t IS over
there, Toni" she said. after our dull
evening the lights and laughter are
really alluring. It appears to be an
unusually lively affair. I honestly can
not see why we weren't asked" 49,
I'VE weren't; that's the main thing
to be thankful for" EEL.
''l'm not a bit thankful. I'm greatly
disappointed"
"Why. I thought you never wanted
to go there again"
II didn't, but don't like to be LETT
out and you know yourself. Tom. the
Doolittles are the worst bores among
our acquaintances. I don't see why
you insisted on having them"
"Why. my dear, never"
/, "Now. don't deny 1t. Tom. You said
for me to have them by all means.
Those were your exact words. Look.
they've begun to dance over there.
Oh, dear, I haven't danced for an age!"

Their Good
Excuse

i've heard that the Mathesons are
going to give large card party next
week Friday" remarked Mrs. Allen to
her husband.
Been invited?" asked Allen, not
looking UP from his paper.
mo, the Invitations aren't out yet"
"Well. I suppose We'll be asked. all
right"
Yes, that's the trouble"
"Trouble?" echoed Allen. laying
down the paper.
Yes, trouble. You know, Tom,
Just can't bear those stiff, tiresome
parties Mrs. Matheson is always CIV
Ing. The last time we went to one We
both declared that we'd never go to an.
other"
TITS simple enough to send regrets,
Isn't it,"
Without any reason and cause an
old friend and neighbor to be offended
tor life?" ..,.
Then send an excuse. Say that I'm
Ill or that your Angora cat is under
the doctors care because Of an attack
Of the pip"
Don't be silly, Tom. This is a Sc
rious matter. The Mathesons always
know everything that goes on in this
house. How could they live right
across the street and not know wheth-
er ] was telling the truth or not II I
said you were Ill! No, we've got to
have some real reason for declining"
I'VE might run out Of town." sug.
gested Allen. "The fishing is flne."
"Fshing!" Mrs. Allen gave her hus-
band whitening glance. when you
feel impelled to 60 fishing, Tom. please
leave me at home. I've had enough Of
leaky boats. wet feet and blistering
sunburn."
well, we might go to some other
city for little change"
I'm not prepared to 60 away from
home. My clothes aren't in order and
have q dressmaker coming next
week. I think we'd better just invite
some people to dinner the evening OF
the card party. Suppose We ask the
Doolittles?"
do you think" inquired Allen, that
an evening with the Doolittles will be
any more enlivening than a party at
the Mathesons? Have got to listen
for three hours to Doolittle's maunder.
ing talk about his one hunting expedi-
ton to the Maine woods and to Mrs.
Doolittle's bromide "reminiscences Of
her single trip to Paris? Why the Doc
Titles. my dear?
"You know very we'll that We owe
them some hospitality. think Mrs.
Doolittle is quite interesting and that
story Mr.. Doolittle tells about the
moose he missed is really exciting"
Eyes, the first twenty times you hear
It. After two dozen repetitions my hair
has ceased to stand on end at the crit
zeal moments"
"Well, anyway, like them"
'No accounting for tastes. my dear.
If asking the Doolittles to dinner will
satisfy soul craving OF yours. ask
them by all means. Never mind me-"
Don't be ridiculous, Tom. You
know I'm not crazy over them, but as
long as We have to have some one,
think we may as we'll have them"

The Texas Way.

The Nation can learn many lessons
of Importance in cooperation from
the people of Texas. We are the first
State in the Union to appropriate
money exclusively for the study OF
marketing plans. We are the only
State where the bankers are financ-
ing the distress cotton at a low rate
of interest: our Legislature mas
passed a warehouse bill making cot
ton certificates negotiable and as
good as government bonds, the first
of its kind to be placed on any statute
book. We are the first to arrange 10
use the express companies as a me-
dunn of distribution between the
producer and consumer.
We have organized cooperative gin
companies, owned exclusively by
farmers and operated in their inter
ests. we have established central
selling agency for cotton with facil'
tiles for handling the 1913 crop; anc
otherwise afforded assistance to the
producer in the sale of his products
These results have been brought

ABOUT THE WAY OF 1T.

A farmer brings 1900 pounds OF
seed cotton to a Temple gin now, and
he is handed back a neatly wrapped
bale weighing 500 pounds or over.
He is asked to call at the gin office
after the unloading and he is there
handed check on a bank calling for
IS. The check represents the value
of the seed from the bale, calculated
on a basis of 1923 ton, and deduct
ing $3.50 for ginning and wrapping.
The IS pays for the picking of the
bale. at so cents a>hundred pounds,
and allows 81 for hauling to the gin.
At ~ cents a pound the bale of cot
ton brings $50 on the public square.
Assuming that the cotton was picked
at so cents a hundred and that 81
paws for the hauling to gin and mar
ket. the farmer carries home with
him. in cash or equivalent, the sum
of SOS, net profit on that bale OF cot
ton. The SOS represents what he gets
for his land rent and his labor In
raising the cotton. A very few years
back cotton sold for about Z cents
and seed were worth IS to $40 ton
or 81 to s. for the bales output. Gin
ming was the same then as now. and
the seed would pay for ginning with
bonus over in cash OF from so cents
to 81. The farmer would drive home
with about $37 then. as against the
$sS now. The net difference between
the then and the now is represented
in figurs of about $50. Then there wal

TOO MANY AGR|CUL-
TURAL ASSOCIATIONS
BY PETER RADFORD,
Texas Farmers Union.

Never in modern history has there
been so many movements organized
in the United States to help the
farmer as at present. and there are
many "cure-alls' with free samples
for every i'll that besets agriculture.
No farmer should put out mo Help
Wanted" sign, but it is important that
he employ only the kind of help he
needs.
A great many people appear to be-
lieve that because a farmer pulls of
his coat when he thinks, that he is
not capable of understanding his prob.
lens. Men can sit in libraries entirely
surrounded by books and papers and
concoct schemes to cover the valley
with grain fields and the hills with
flocks and herds, and honestly believe
they can make the farmer enough
wealth to ransom a king, but the
farmer knows better than to exchange
magic for common sense. Men skilled
in trading may feel capable of in
structing the farmer in the art Of
lcheating nature, but the farmer
knows that Mother Earth will not be
deceived. The problems of agricul
ture are as serious as the multiplied
tion table, and they can not be solved
iby agricultural magicians makint
miracles to order or by seeking mar
keting through faith, hope and char
lily. 1t is a cold business proposition
The farmer can only be helped
through common sense and co-opera
ton. The farmer is able to get abou
on the farm, but he loses his way II
the market places and it is there hi
most needs assistance.
