FARMERS WARNED
AGAINST FRIENDS"
To Many Want to Help J. A.
McSparran Tells the
Changers.
DANGER FROM PROMOTERS

One Of the biggest problems the farm
ers of the country have to face is to save
themselves from their friends" John A.
McSparran, secretary Of the legislative
committee of the National Grange, told
the patrons of husbandry at session
held at the Raleigh Hotel last night. The
ten-day convention and golden jubilee
celebration OF the grange will conclude
Friday.
Everybody apparently wants to help
the farmer" Mr.. McSparran said. in the
course of his report. which was unani-
mously accepted by the grangers. PRO
moters out Of job have been making
determined efforts to organize the farmer
for his good. with them at the head of
the organization. Enthusiasts have pro-
claimed the millennium if farmers would
only follow their advice.
"Monopolies Even Taking Hand"
Even great monopolies that for many
years have been skinning the farmer are
starting organizations to lead the be-
nighted farmer out of the wilderness. We
have attended some Of these meetings
and sent delegates to others and have no
doubt seemed pre1udiced to some OF these
propagandists because We held that the
only orga niZatierl- that would do the farm
ers any good must come by the union of.
the farmers themselves. We see in some
of these movements a scarcely concealed
effort to break the force of the existing
farm organizations.
THAT the farmers are not ignorant is
evidenced by the fact that they have been
furnishing the brains as well as the
Drawn that lead the activities of our
cities in each succeeding generation. The
farmers have been careless and Indifferent
and even yet are hard to convince of the
necessity of standing together. but other
business ought to understand that the
duty they owe to farmers is justice and
not patriotism.

Half Million Visitors Coming
Here During the First Six
Months of 1917.
MAIL CLERKS QUARTERS

That half a million visitors will come
to Washington during the first six
months of 1917 is prophesied in a
statement given out by the Chamber of
Commerce of Washington last night.
The chamber also makes announce
ment that within year at most. and
probably not more than six months. the
national headquarters of the railway
mail clerks organization is to be es-
tablished in the District of Columbia.
This information was received by Sec
rotary Tom Grant yesterday afternoon
from the headquarters of the local
here. and marks the victorious culmi-
nation of competition lasting more
than a year.
To Have Headquarters Here.
The headquarters of the railway mail
clerks is to be located here following
the choice of this city by a referen-
dunn vote. which has just been COM
pleted. The headquarters are now in
Portsmouth, n. f., from which it had
been decided to move. Washington re-
votes received by Indianapolis and 534
votes received by Indianapolis and 435
received by Cleveland.
This means a fair size pay roll, a
large bank deposit from the insurance
funds of the body, rental of good offices
and ultimately. it is hoped, the pub
fishing in this city of the national ma
gaZine of the organization" says the
statement given out by the chamber of

Attention is called to the fact that
the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce

There was grumbling among the

SOME FORMS OF HYPNOTISM
MANY May Be Known to the Readers,
While Others Have A Flavor
That Is New.

Hypnotizing a hen is trick known
10 most country boys. 1t is an old
Experiment, first described by the Je-
suit Father Athanasius Kircher, who
laid hen on the table, held 1t firmly
for a little while, and drew a chalk
line In front of its eyes, with the re-
guilt that it remained as If in catalepsy.
In India it is known that a cobra
eaught by the neck and gently pressed
will soon become stiff and remain so
4or a considerable time, either coiled
|Sup or out straight.
A frog fastened to a board and
turned suddenly upside down goes into
b trance. Other animals are suscep-
tible to this treatment, some more
quickly than others.
If you pick UP a crab and wave 1t
In the air 1t becomes immobile, fe-
male bending her legs over her abdo-
smen, male sticking them out almost
straight. The same is true of the
|fresh-water crayflsh, only this resists
for a much longer time than the crab.
Among the insects catalepsy-com-
monty known as death feigning"-is
common, and, according to Prof. Err
nest Mangold, the learned naturalist,
Is often a means of saving the life
of the insect.

Seals Can Drown.

1t is curious fact that the fur seal
was once a land animal. The baby
seals are actually afraid of water ;
they would drown If thrown into it,
and have to learn to swim by repeated
efforts. When once they have been
taught to swim. however, they soon
forget TO walk.
There are in existence only two i'm
pOrtant herds of fur seals, one of
which has its breeding ground in the
Commander islands. belonging to Rus
STA, the other in the Pribilof islands.
belonging to the United States. OF
these the latter is much the larger.
The Pribilof islands are government
property, and thus 1t happens that the
United States government finds itself
the owner Of by far the most valuable
herd Of fur seals In the world.
