BOY, five, CROSSES
CONTINENT ALONE
Tagged, He Travels Only In
Care Of Trdinmen.

Hartford, Conn.-After a four day
trip of 1900 miles from Los Angeles to
this city, travelling alone in the care of
conductors and porters, five-year-old
Elmer Gardiner, Jr., arrived here re-
Gently and has been busy holding re-
ceptions and telling his story at the
home of his grandmother, Mrs. Henry
Amman.
The boys father left his home in
Los Angeles early in the summer to
investigate a new venture In the east,
planning to send for his wife and son
later should he decide to live perma-
nently In Connecticut. In his absence
his wife died, leaving the little boy
alone. The boys father telegraphed
$3.50 to Los Angeles lawyer, intend
ing that this should be used for FL
mers maintenance until it should be
decided whether or not the boy should
come east to live with his grandmother.
The lawyer, noting that $3.50 would
be largely spent for the railroad fares
between Los Angeles and Hartford, in
formed the surrogate he had received
money with which to send the boy to
Hartford, and the court signed the nee
essary papers.
The first intimation the father and
grandmother had of this turn of af-
fairs was when newspapers told of the
boys departure on his trip. This news
was confirmed the next day by tele-
gram.
1t was impossible to follow the train
movements, and the next heard from
Elmer was that he had arrived at
Springfield, Mass, and was placed
aboard the next train for Hartford.
He jumped into his fathers eager arms
and Immediately began recital about
the wonderful sights he saw coming
across the country. A tag was fasten-
ed in the buttonhole of his overcoat,
reading:
"Deliver me to my grandmother.
Mrs. Henry Amman. 40 Lenox street.

FEEDS PIGS WITH SNAKES.
Gives Pork a Better Flavor-Wonder-
ing If Reptiles Are Cause.

Gives Pork a Better FIaVor-Wonder-
ing If Reptiles Are Cause.
Elizabeth, N. ELMER Reichard,
farmer, who lives near Galloping hill,
has discovered that feeding pigs on
snakes imparts a delicious flavor to
the pork. Richards farm is in the
wooded region between Roselle and
Elizabeth and is infested with snakes.
Reichard determined to eliminate
them. AS a preliminary step he
bought several specimens of breed
of small black pigs. These he turned
loose in the woods
Reichard received a surprise a few
days ago In the form of a letter from
a New York restaurant, which, after
several weeks, had succeeded in trac-
ing to Reichard a shipment of pork
which had caused much favorable COM
ment by patrons. 1t appeared that the
pork had gained a peculiarly rich,
gamy flavor, and the restaurant pro-
prietor contracted with Reichard for
all the pork he could raise.
The growing scarcity of snakes has
forced Reichard to search for subst-
tutes. He Is hopeful that he may be
able to prove that the peculiar taste
of the meat does not come from the
snakes, but from various roots which
he has observed the pigs eating.

He suggested that these legislative
steps be considered to relieve condi-
tons:
Tristan amendment of the ma
tional banking act to permit any ma
tional bank that confines its credit ia
cilities to members to be organized as
an association without capital stock.
Second.-An amendment Of the bank
ing act of each state to permit any
kind of bank that confines Its credit
facilities to members to be organized
as an organization without capital
stock.
Third.-A law by the nation and In
each state to legalize for associations
whatever is lawful for corporations
1. e., a regulatory law.
Fourth.-A clause in such law to
permit combinations among farmers
associations or small producers or con-
sumers' associations
"Such, In substance, are the basic
principles of the laws in all countries
where rural cooperation fourishes'
said Mr.. Herrick. America Is too set
in the idea that the corporation OF
partnership is the only means Tor or
ganizing business or finance and that
the association is intended merely Tor
SNenevolence, thrift and non-proht OBJ
ects. There is also widely prevalent
xdea that cooperation is OF a similar
altruistic nature. We should disapuse
our minds of these false ideas and
put the association and cooperation
on a practical, economic basis
"a system of cooperative associa-
lions based on cooperative banks Is,
in my opinion, the best solution or the
troubles that beset American agricui-
ture. The combined wealth and earn
ing power of the farmers are so stu
pendous that they would become seir
sufficient If they would consolidate and
mobilize their resources through such
systems extending from the plains TO
tidewater. Experience proves that the
organized farmer is able to take care
Of himself. The only way to organi-
kation lies through cooperation

GIVES HIS WANT AID.
BRIDE 100000 CASH
Aged Man Wins Georgia Wife,
TWenty-eight, by That Course.

Atlanta, William Fl. Burden of
New York, who was married here re-
Gently to Miss Lulu Douglas Thomson,
won his bride by means of want adj
vertisement.
Mr.. Burden is seventy-six years old.
He has been a widower for several
years and has adult grandchildren.
The bride is twenty eight years old. 1t
is generally reported that Mr. Burden
settled 100000 on her just before the
wedding ceremony.
The bride is a niece Of the late w.
S. Thomson Of Atlanta and of Mrs.
Leonidas F. Scott of Decatur, with
whom she has made her home since
childhood. She got substantial estate
after her parents died, but most of
this was spent on her art studies in
Philadelphia and she recently began
to consider earning a livelihood by her
own efforts.
A girl friend in Georgia ran across
an advertisement which appeared to
ask for a companion. The friend an
swered it, but after a letter or two
was told that she did not suit"
"You try it, Lulu" the friend sug-
gested. So Miss Thomson wrote to the
advertiser, received paper with ques-
lions to be answered, filed them out
and returned the paper. Apparently
she did suit" for the next mail
brought letter from Mr.. Burden, who
had been the anonymous advertiser.
Mr.. Burden came to Atlanta and
pushed his suit so successfully that he
won Miss Thomson. The marriage,
however, was opposed by Mr.. Burdens
children and grandchildren, who live
In Macon, Ca, from which city Bur-
den went to New York several years
ago.
The first news of Mr.. Burdens in
tended marriage which reached the
ears of his relatives in Macon, friend
of the family said, was that the aged
man went to his bank In New York
and drew out 100000 in cash, tucked
1t into a gripsack and left for Atlanta.
Mr.. Burdens children came to At
lanta from Macon and tried to stop
the marriage, even begging Miss Thorn
son not to wed the aged man. Both
Mr.. Burden and Miss Thomson, how
ever, insisted that their marriage con-
cerned only themselves. After the
ceremony the couple left for New
York. where they will live.

THIS CLOCK STILL TICKS.
Wheels Are Made of Wood, and II Is a
General Guide.

Asheville, N. C.-Charles Bolick Of
this city is the possessor of an old
clock, still running, although its wheels
are made of wood. and its history can
be traced back for oyer forty years.
Besides giving the time, the clock has
pasted in the back some statistics.
From this clock 1t Is learned that In
the year 1912 the postage rate for a sin
gle letter for a distance not exceeding
80 miles was cents; over 80 miles and
not exceeding so, 10 cents; over so
miles and not exceeding $50 miles, 1914
cents, and for distance of 400 miles.
% cents.
North Carolina in 1912 contained
63S,S20 people and the United States
9,625,730. Judging from this record in
the back of the clock 1t must be at
least 100 years old.

WIRELESS SICKNESS NOW.
Travellers at Sea Affected by the Tele-
phone Development.

adelphia.-"Wireless nausea" Is
the newest illness reported and has
only come since the wireless telephone
with its almost unmeasured voltage
current projected through space has
become an established thing. The dis
covery of the phenomenon was the re-
suit of travellers on shipboard becom-
ing nauseated at sea when there was
no perceptible dip to the vessels on
which they were travelling.
The matter was reported to the Aero
Club of Pennsylvania. and one Of its
members was sent aboard coastwise
liner to investigate. When the inhu-
ence began to be felt the wireless ap-
paratus was set and an extremely high
potential such as is used at Arlington
was discovered in the atmosphere.

HERRICK URGES

Lack Of Organization Chief
Agricultural Trouble.
PROFITS ARE AFFECTED.


mercialIy and Financially and az q
Result There Are Wastes - Asri-
culture lsn't on Decline, He Says.
Philadelphia.-Lac of organization
is the chief trouble with American ag-
riculture. Myron T. Herrick, formerly
United States ambassador to France,
recently said In an address before the
agricultural conference. Mr.. Herrick's
topic was agriculture and the laws re-
quired for rural credits.
Mr.. Herrick held that the farmers
are unorganized industrially, CONNER
cially and financially and that, as a re-
suit, there are wastes and losses that
Zaeriously affect the producers profits.
Mr.. Herrick made it clear, however,
that agriculture in this country was
not on the decline. Man for man, he
said, the American farmer Is superior
to any other, and In some branches he
has brought agriculture to its highest
stages of development. The shortcom-
ings of American agriculture are trace
able to the fact that the farmers have
not combined their resources with the
view of helping one another, he said.
Their greatest need, he declared, Is CO.
operation, and this can be brought
about only through more intelligent
and extended use of the association.
