COOPERATION WITH FARMERS
Many Failures in the Pest offset by
the Success Of Present
Day.

The American farmer has not been
noted for his success as a cooperation.
and many farmers cooperative orgsni-
cations have met with failure. Such fail
ures were generally attributed 20 the
highly "individualistic" nature OF the
American farmer which disinciined him TO
work In community or to over-ambitious
plans That farmers organizations are
an entire success when not attempted
on too large a scale Is indicted In an
article in the Forum by r. e. Miller.

The Hood River apple growers and the

equally successful organizations. These

BOOZE IS CAUSE
Of NEAR TRAGEDY
Using Razor as Weapon,
Farmland Slashes
Three Men.

Starkweather, N. D., Aug. "a
Booze was the cause of near tragedy
at the home of James Griswold, eight
miles north of here. J. c. Stanchfield
received injuries which are painful
and will lay him up for some time
when he was attacked by an infuriat-
ed man with a razor. and the wonder
is that he is alive today. StanGhfield
with his brother. Pearl, his father-in-
law, Gus Steenerson and Harry Wick
ham, his hired man, went over to the
farm of Griswold for a visit. At the
Griswold home was Griswold and his
had keg of beer and the sextette had
a friendly meeting until near morn
ing when Griswold going out to get
some beer returned and reported that
some one had taken It, Addair was
outside at the time and Stanchfield
ventured the remark that perhaps the
"Arkansawer" had taken it. referring
to Addair. This ramark was over
heard by Addair and coming in he
drew a razor and showed fight. At
this juncture Wickham tried to pacify
the razor man. saying that there
should not be any trouble over the
matter, when Addair struck at him
with razor, slashing an ugly cash in
Wickham's neck. This started a gen.
eral fight and when the smoke cleared
away Stanchfield had three ugly cuts
across the forehead. one on the head
and one across the side of the head
which cut through the ear, one on the
Stanchtield had slash in the back. In
the meantime the razor man had been
laid low with a neckyoke In the hands

Little Bedtime Stories
GRANNY FOX INVESTIGATES.
BY Thornton w. Burgess.

Copyright. 1914, by J. G. Lloyd.>
Investigates is great, big word.
but it's meaning is very simple. To
-vest-i-gate is to look into and try
to learn all about. That is what old
Granny Fox started to do after Reddy
had told her about the terrible fright
he had had at the hill where Prickly
Porky lives. Reddy had told her as
we'll as he could about the strange
creature without head, tail or legs that
had rolled down the hill at him.
Granny had shifted and said that she
didn't believe there was such a crea-
ture or she would have seen or heard
of it before. She believed that some
one had played a trick on Reddy and
she meant to find out about it.
Now, old Granny Fox is very SLY
and smart and clever, as you all
know. Compared with her Reddy Fox
is almost stupid. He nlay be as sly
and smart and clever some day. but
he has got lot to learn before then.
Now, if it had been Reddy who was
going to Investigate he would have
gone straight over to Prickly Porky's
hill and looked around and asked sly
questions, and everybody whom he
met would have known that he was
trying to find out something. But old
Granny Fox did nothing Of the kind.
her dinner just as usual, and didn't
appear to be paying the least atten-
ton to what was going on about her.
With her nose to the ground she ran
this way and ran that way, as if hunt
ing for trail. She peered into old
hollow logs and looked under little
brush piles. and so. in course of time,
she came to the hill where Prckly
Porky lives.
Now, Reddy had told Granny Fox
that the terrible creature that had
so frightened him had rolled down the
hill at him, for he was at the bot
tom. Granny had heard that the
same thing had happened to Peter
Rabbit and to Unc' Billy Possum. So,
instead OF coming to the hill along
the hollow at the bottom, she came
to 1t from the other way. ''Jf there is
anything there I'll be behind it in
stead Of in front of it, she thought
shrewdly
AS she drew near where Prickly
Porky lives she kept eyes and ears
wide open, while all the time pretend
ing to pay attention to nothing but
the hunt for her dinner. No one

for dinner. Do you believe such a
foolish tale, Mr.. Possum''
Unc' Billy coughed behind one
hand.
Yes, Mrs. Fox, All confess All done
have to believe it," he replied. "Yo'
see. All done see that thing nah own
self, and Ah just naturally has to be-
lieve nah own eyes,"
Huh! I'd like to see it! Maybe
I'd believe it then," snapped Granny
Fox.
THE only time to see it is just at
sun-up," replied Unc' Billy. "Any-
body that comes along through that
hollow at the foot Of Brer Porky's hill
at sun-up is likely never to forget it.
All wouldn't do it again. No, sab;
once is enough fo' your Unc' Billy"
HUH" snorted Granny, and rot-
ted on.
Unc' Billy watched her out of sight
and grinned broadly.
CAS- sho' as Brer Sun gets up tomor-
row mo'ning OIL Granny Fox will be
there" he chuckled. "Ah must get
word to Brer Porky and Brer Skunk
and Brer Rabbit"

Disastrous Blaze Take Farmers
House.
New Rockford, N. d., Aug. 24.-Fire
destroyed the residence on the w. G.
Dresser farm out northeast of this
city. The farm is being managed by
VIM. Frazer, and the family lost every

playing with matches.

household goods and the loss will be
heavy one for Mr.. Fraser. The loss
of the residence was about light hun
dred dollars. which was partially COW
cred by an insurance policy Of $500.

After the Rain.

When the rain is over,
When the clouds have pass'd,
And the golden sunshine
Beams again at last,
All the earth is fairer,
Ev'ry freshened flow'r
Lifts its head to answer:
THANK you, little shower!'
When the show'r is over,
When the rain is done,
Natures all the sweeter,
Brighter shines the sun.
When the tears are over.
When the pain Is pass'd.
And the smiles and dimples
Come again at last,
Never mind the bruises,
Laugh away the fears;
Answer like the flowers:
Thank you, little tears!"
When the tears are over,
Smiles come back again.
Life is all the sweeter
For the drops of rain.

Granny.

would ever have guessed that she was
thinking of anything else. She ran
this way and that way all over the
hill, but nothing out of the usual did
she see or hear excepting one thing;
she did find some queer marks down
the hill as If something might have
rolled there. She followed these
down to the bottom. but there they
disappeared.
AS she was trotting home along the
Lone Little Path through the Green
Forest, she met Unc' Billy Possum.
No, she didn't exactly meet him be-
cause he saw her before she saw him,
and he promptly climbed tree.
'Ah suppose yo'll heard of the ter
rible creature that scared Reddy al
most out of his wits early this
mo'ning," said Unc' Billy.
