his shoulder, followed by dog, hove
in sight. The dog snapped at the
lieutenant's horse, and in fit Of tenn.
per he pulled his revolver and shot the
dog dead Regretting what he had
done, the lieutenant handed the native

strength without such loss. You are no
less Independent for working with" a
man. You lose your fndivlduailSm only
when you work for man, or, more
properly, when you are the servant of a
machine The American farmers are
needlessly handicapping themselves. IN
dependence demands equality, but not
sec1usion nor alOOfness from all partner
ships.
SO say the apostles of agricultural CO.
operation. They are firm in their belief
that cooperation Is an economic neces-
sity for the farmers. Intelligence. judg-
ment, indiyidualism. they declare, would
measure the success of cooperative I'M
dertakings. The strength OF the whole
organization would depend upon the
strength Of the units that compose It.
It is q curious anomaly that the United
States, though the greatest food-produc-
ing country in the world. is the most
backward of all in the credit facilities
extended to it's farmers. 1t is not posi-
BILE to satisfactorily account for this
state of affairs, but undoubtedly the
great prosperity Of the farmers was prf-
marty responsible for the neglect of
their needs. The cheapness of the land
and its great fertility made any attempt
at intense or even thorough cultivation
unnecessary.
New lands were being constantly open
ed up by the government, and whenever
the land lost it's productivity in one dis
trict the farmers would migrate west and
open up new farms 1t has been said

governors was appointed, which will
consider the findings of the commission
and draft a legislative program which,
when approved by two-thirds of the gov
ernors, will be submitted by each COVER
nor to his legislature. Thus the channel
Is open both to the federal Congress and
to every state legislature for the presen-
ia ton of the case.
The American commission now has the
approval of President Wilson, ex-Presi-
dent Taft and ex-President Roosevelt.
The adoption of an agricultural credit
system is recommended in the platforms
of all three of the great national political
parties. The commission has also been
Endorsed by Congress, the House Of Gov
errors, the National Grange, the Farm
ers' Educational and Cooperative Union
Of America, the National Farmers Con-
gress. the International Institute of Ag-
riculture and number of other inf1uen-
tial bodies.
The idea of agricultural cooperation
has gained remarkable Roadway In the
short time in which it has been discussed.
The usual crop of legislative proposals
on the subject has appeared.
Two bills have been introduced in Con-
gress and several others in the different
state legislatures However, 1t is felt
that since the conference Of governors
appointed committee Of nine governors
mission to all the legislatures, these scat
tering bills are premature. 1t is essential
to the plan that uniform state legislation
be secured.
The movement is gaining as many f1nan-
cial hackers as legislative advocates.
Ambassador Herrick has recently an
nounced his intention to give all Of his
time in the future to the furtherance Of

pie was simply that a group OF farmers
could borrow more easily and at lower
rates than a single farmer. These So
cieties also received savings deposits.
They were mutual aid societies and made
no attempt TO take a profit out of the
transaction. Their aim was simply to
help the farmers to borrow at as low in
terest rates as possible.
To provide funds for the longtime
loans other associations Were formed
wherein the landholders also pledged
their possessions as collective security
for the debts of the society. In these
societies however. bonds were issued just
as are the bonds of a railroad In this
country and the money secured from
the sale of the bonds was loaned to men,
bers of the society. The bonds We're
based upon mortgages of the members.
II was simply a scheme to make a big
society responsible to lenders instead
of forcing an investor loaning money on

Reading is one Of my principal diver
sions,'' said Mrs. Houston. but l cannot
say that 1 have any favorite authors. AT
one time I consumed fiction with delight.
l read all the new novels and naturally
all the classics Of the past. seem to
have exhausted this inclination, for now
1 find the greatest pleasure in essays. es-
pecially those which concern modern
phases of life and the problems which
are involved. Wells makes q particular
appeal, and I like the essays of Bernard
Shaw and Gilbert Chesterton. History
and philosophical deductions are also en-
crossing, but l find but little enjoyment
or benefit from the modern drama. The
one trend seems to be toward gloom. sor-
row and despair. One consolation Is the
new plays are so depressing that there
must soon come a reaction. I grant that
the stage has a mission to instruct and
uplift, but l believe 1t can be fulfilled
more readily by depicting the JOY of life
rather than by the punishment Of sin and
deception.
Il learned to love st. Louis during my
five eventful years there and I regret

Having SO many other pursuits. I chose
current topics as my particular depart
ment, and 1 have no doubt that In the
hurry Of my new life here 1 shall get very
rusty on the themes that we discussed
there.
But st. Louis is a new phase of my
life. and my strongest ties are naturally
with Texas. 1t is wonderful state, and,
/ think. Is producing some wonderful pe0-
pie. We seem to be a happy combination
OF the energy and zeal Of the west with
