FROG IN BABY'S STOMACH
Tadpole Grew and Waxed Fat on the infants Milk-Child
 Is Dead.

The eighteen-months-old child of Mrs. Harry Wolf of Chicago Is dead. following an operation which disclosed conditions that many surgeons had de- elared to be impossible, says Goshen tlnd. dispatch to the Indianapolis Star.
 While visiting her parents in Syra cuse, Koseiusko county, last summer, Mrs. Wolf permitted the baby to drink hydrant water. Within a short time the infant became siekly and lost flesh. Treatment for indigestion was given, but 1t did not reach the seat of the trouble. Then an X-ray examination disclosed black spot on the stomach. and an operation resulted in frog weighing more than half pound be- ing taken from the infant.
 Doctors who operated said they be- lieved that when the child drank hy drant water in Syracuse a tadpole was taken into the stomach and that the frog developed and lived on milk which was given the patient in large quantities. Following the operation the child improved rapidly and com plete recovery was practically assured when pneumonia developed, causing death.

FIND HELP IN COOPERATION
s's Business Through Its Various Or sanizations Fixes Prices Paid for
 Farm Products.

talked with one of my neighbors yesterday concerning the prospect for the farmer. We drew a picture of business conditions, the way business IS run, and what the farmer has to say about 1t. My neighbor stated that the war has not helped the farmer, says a Kansas writer in Farmers Mail and Breeze. Big business through its various organizations has fixed the prices paid for farm products. The packers, even with large exports paid only So.50 hundredweight for hogs last winter. Hay netted the farmer not more than S550 to S5 ton. Wheat sold for stiff prices but not before the grain dealers got the bulk of it rom the farmers at not more than 75 cents bushel. l think I am safe M making the assertion that not one wheat raiser in fifty had a bushel of wheat to sell when prices were at the highest. The farmer bucks" the meat packers organization, the grain deal CTS organization, the hay dealers or ganization and a dozen other combina- tions.
 The farmers are busy at this season trying to put out their crops. The or ganizations also are busy at meetings in offices fixing up plans to control the prices of the crops produced. The more demand there is for an article the farmer produces the stiffer is the organized branch of big business which controls that article.
 Lumber has advanced $250 to $3 a thousand feet. Corn is selling at so cents a bushel but the farmer has none to sell. He is a buyer from the grain dealers organization instead. freight rates on the excuse that they are not making money All this helps hold the farmer down. This is the req son so many boys leave the farm. They think they can in some way work up to be member of the organization in- stead of one of the contributors to it.
 Farm boys have ambitions but must say in some respects poor judg- ment. l know several renters who ride in automobiles which have been bought on time. l know a young farm CT who bought an automobile and paid S150 down. This man has been farm ing for 12 years. He is good worker and in that time he has managed to save $50. It is easy to see his finish. l suppose this man has contributed enough money to various business or ganizations to buy a good farm. He probably will quit farming in a few years and move to the city This is only one of many cases. Big business cites the number of automobiles owned by farmers but forgets to cite the amount of outstanding notes against them.

 NJ Matters g Especial Moment to the Progressive Agriculturist

Many young man who never plays cards believes in holding a pretty fair hand.
 The fellow who says he would not stand for a certain thing very often falls for it.
 Some men are so careless they don't care what happens. so long as it doesn't happen to them.
 Talk over your plans and hopes with your wife; ten to one she can and will give you sound advice.
 The farmer should be a warrior. but his warfare should be against weeds and not against flesh and blood.
 In our zeal for getting ahead let us be careful not to step on anybody's toes. There are few things so ugly as greed.
 It has been said that the cities would not last long were they not supplied with new brains and vitality from the farm.
 Take an interest in your eommu- nity. Do not allow some cheap poli- defan to run the township, and then complain about it.
 The horse that punches your head with his nose when trying to knock of the pestiferous fly reminds you of the need of a fly net for his body.
 The brush and weeds that accumu- late about the place are but places of refuge for the noxious insects that prey upon the fruit and vege- table life
 Consider the hen. She lays more freely at time when eggs are cheap est. Ill that she exhibits the same wisdom as the farmer who jumps into all-wheat because everybody else IS doing 1t.

HIGHER PRICES FOR COTTON
Statistical Position Points to Increase in Demand and Consequent
 Advance in Values.

The statistical position of cotton points to higher prices in midsummer" said former cotton man to Bir- mingham Age Herald representative
 The exports are not very far be- hind the normal now, and this coupled with the increasing demand for cotton for the manufacture of explosives to- gether with strong demand for cot ton goods for uniforms, will make the carry-over' of our enormous crop about the usual 2,000,000 bales. Cot ton in Liverpool is lower than in New York, but in Germany it is 50 per cent higher than in Liverpool. The Ger mans expect by synthetic chemistry and agricultural means to provide a substitute for most of the cotton used.
 The cotton goods trade is in a strong, healthy condition, notwith- standing the handicap of a short sup ply of dye stuffs. But even this is be- ing in measure provided against with other coloring matter; then, too, the use of white goods is becoming more prevalent
 As to the growing crop it is too early to quote figures except that a condition of S1 per cent for Alabama is good, but that does not relate to acreage or probable size of crop. Last year we made 1,750,000 bales; this year will probably not produce even 1,250,- 900 bales as a rough estimate, all things considered"

Breaking away from the house. the man hurried t0 his club, dropped into chair. and breathed long sigh of relief. He had at last got away from one aunt, three cousins and two second cousins, up-country guests of his wife.
 A member sitting near laid aside hi1 paper and asked: How do you stand on the subject of foreign re- lations2"
 That is a fair question, returned the other and deserves fair an swer. In principle and practice you can put me down as favoring their internment in Schoharie county seven days a week for B weeks each year until 1863. "

 Nothing, except that when he add ed 1915 together and subtracted the total. 16, from 1915, it left 1892
