They Who Know.

Think of the long procession of dull people that you pass daily on the street, noticing them only as the drab back ground for the young faces which. to you, shine out like stars. advises Cor nelia A. P. Conner in the Atlantic. They seem unimportant folk. and you find them as stupid as babies do grown-ups-yet these are they who know the secrets of the Seven Stars and Plato's Year! They have solved the long problem of work: they have irrigated deserts, washed down hills. tunneled mountains. sailed strange seas, controlled vast engines. They have also tronted death fearlessly and been convinced of immortality. They have looked at Love aghast and found in themselves infinite springs of ten derness to quench the flames of lust and greed. They have created new bodies and new souls. Lying in kings houses or fouled in the miro, starved, gorged, scorched. frozen, lifted up to heaven, cast down to hell-from all this have they learned nothing?

 DEPARTMENT
By Vim. J. Johnston County Correspondent U. s. Agricultural
 Department
HOW FARMERS SHOULD ORGANIZE

nOW EARMENS S0OOLD ORNAA>ANH
 The department is continually receiving inquiries from all sections asking how farmers ought to organize. The answer to such a general question must necessarily be that it depends partly upon the particular needs of given community and partly upon the capacity which farmers have to establish and manage the work of a suitable organlza- tion. There should be a strong local feeling of the need of some improvement and that certain definite aims or purposes can be more fully realized with the aid of organized interest and activity than through individual effect alone. It is folly to expect that mere organization. as such, will achieve a given object, unless the farmers organize in the right way and equip their organ ization so that it will carry on its work efficiently. Having decided that an associated effort is warranted by the needs of the community. a study should be made of the kind of organization that would be most helpful and the ways and means of making it's work effective. While this calls for intelligent, enthusiastic, andr self-sacrificing leadership, it is best that this be furnished locally. Organizations m a y need outside advice. but they should not be promoted by out siders. The farmers advance must come as the result of his own efforts; his progress must develop from within rather than
 from without. The organization
 that is given him is of far less
 value to him than the one which
 he himself creates. In the matter of securing advice it is generally wise to make applica- tion to the agricultural college or
 the proper Government official.
 In asking for this advice full statement of the local situation
 should be given-the territory to

MEETING TO-DAY'S CONDITIONS
The War, Cotton Loan
 and Finance

The war continues and while Germany has surrendered her holdings in the far East-in China, she is still making hot and stubborn fight against the allies in the Belgian and French territory. While it is purely a conjecture yet from nearly every source comes the prophecy that the war will continue for yet another year.
 During the past week cotton has advanced about $500 per bale and the grade sold in Brink ley is reaching around the z cts. price.
 The English Mills are taking more of our cotton and it may be before December is closed that the price will reach 8 cents. The million and half dollar cotton pool has about been con- sumated and it is hoped will be ready to advance money n cotton within the next week. This together with the opening of the Regional Banks by the U. IS. Government, which will no doubt allay fear and furnish funds for loans by the banks is doubtless responsible for the in- creased confidence of those who deal in cotton and consequently the slight disposition to buy. Two cotton buyers have been in Brinkley during the past week but they wouldn't pay the price demanded by Brinkley holders and consequently went away without buying any,
 The land owners and furnish ing merchants have recognized the fact that there is but little show for cotton to even reach the 10 cent price oven within the next year and hence they are not counting on making any arrangement to advanced money to tenants who make cotton for next year.
 Everyone seems intent on the plan of making a living at home and thus changing up. literally revolutionizing conditions in the South from now on.
 A campaign is on thro' out the state planning diyersifica- ton o f crops. etc Monroe County is moving in this direc- ton and even to-day a whirl wind campaign is being made thro' out the county looking to the enlisting of all classes in this
 work. At Fishers School House this afternoon at Zent, Cypress Ridge, Fitzhugh's School House,
 keevil, etc. as well as at Clar-
 endon, Holly Grove, Blackton
 and other points this work is be- ling done today and the Brink ley Business Mems League has

ON THE FIELD OF WATERLo 100
Memorial That Marks the Scene Of
One Of the Worlds Great
est Battles.

Great among the landmarks Of the
world stands the Lion OF Waterloo on
its mound 200 feet high, says the
Strand. Ten miles from the city OF
Brussels it marks the plain where over
10000 men were killed. wounded and
missing. 1t is hardly necessary to
say that 1t was fought on June IS,
1915, and. that il eliminated the cam
paign following Napoleon's escape
from Elba and stopped his mighty eff
fort to conquer all Europe.
The duchess of Richmond gave a
ball in Brussels on June Is; at mid
night Wellington, having already
lizard that the outposts had been en-
gagged, went to the ball. Here he
found the Prince of Orange, the man
who seemed fated to cause useless
loss of life through his blunders Even
now he ought to have been at Binche,
where the duke promptly sent him.
asser inqniring for news.
Far from being surprised at the
evenings attack, as some writer's as
seTt, the duke had dispatched his or
ders before he went to the ball, for at
2 a. m. strange sounds broke the
nights silence, and great masses Of
troops were on the move, bugles were
blowing everywhere and people opened
their windows to see the various reg
iments tramp past. A Highland band
were playing their bagpipes to the
swing of the Black Watch" as they
went out to battle through the Ma
muir gate. Curiously enough, many Of
the officers were still wearing their
silk stockings and dancing pumps, for
the heat was SO intense that men
went mad and died on the march; but
for the rest, they pushed on and were
soon under fire. The battle itself is
eclipsed by the thought Of the awful
aftermath; the plain so filled with the
dying and the dead that for three days
parties brought in the wounded.
In the htrry 300 bodies were flung
down a well. For 80 years the corn
crops were of deeper color where
they grew over the blood Of the slain
on the scene where the Lion of Water
loo now forms the greatest of the land
marks of the world.

RICHES IN HOUSE PLASTER
Ruins of Abandoned Town In Mon
tana Found to Yield Gold In Pay
ine Quantities.

Shipping plaster from house to q
smelter for the sold, silver, and lead
in it is new departure in the way
of making money, but that Is what is
being done by Frank Fish.
For about fifteen years Fish has
been working the failing at the old
Gregory mine, near Wickes. The
property is owned by the Helena and
Livingston company. Recently a big
chunk of plaster fell from the cell
ing of one of the houses. Fish found
1t was very heavy, and he had 1t as
sayed. The returns were satisfactory,
and then he obtained from the COM
Dany lease, with the right to smelt
all of the plaster in all Of the houses
in the town. AS the town has long
since been abandoned and the houses
were going to decay the leases did not
disturb any one.
Fish has already shipped eight tons
of the plaster to the East Helena
smelter, and the returns are said to
be satisfactory to him. The richness
of the plaster Is not surprising.
When Gregory was on the map and
a booming camp and houses were
built the sand used was taken from
the tailings. The methods of getting
the values out Of the ores were crude
and the tailings were rich. This sand
comprises the larger portion of the
material in the plaster, and now 1t
pays to smelt it.-Helena (Mont.)

one a man had an attack of hic.

had a much worse attack, which
lasted between three and four
months, and was the result Of a
fright. Doctors had been unable to
end the paroxysms, and many times
1t was thought the child would die.
She had wasted away alarmingly, and
hope for her recovery was abandoned.
But short time ago she had vic.

gave her cold tea and lemon. The
coughing stopped. Everybody waited
anxiously expecting the hiccoughins
to return. But It did not
