FA1RMONT, w. ", April S.-Your
correspondent is a very sick man to-
day, although not as sick now as | was
early today. The doctor told me not
to write anything or eat anything to-
day, but knew you would be expect
ing some word from me. got up late
yesterday morning and had late
breakfast, so l did not eat any lunch.
! was quite hungry when | went to
supper and ate moderately sumptu-
Gus repast. Then went to show or
two and by that time was hungry
again. Therefore had a little some
thing to eat before Went to bed. I
awoke about ESQ this morning with
most terrible feeling. ! can't recol-
lect of ever having felt more terrible
in my life. All my digestive organs
must have been doing a clog dance.
| / was all doubled up in knot and
could hardly get out of bed. sent for
a doctor. "A
He came to my room in about half
an hour all peeved because got him
out OF bed; but IL he did not want to
get out of bed at night he should have
been blacksmith or a member of
some other worthy profession.

did. but could lick that doctor II I
were in order, hut am out OF order.
Hump. put Il back says he. What
seems TO be the trouble?"
That's why sent for you. If I
knew would not spend my money on
you"
What did you eat for supper"
Nothing much" says I II had q
howl OF oyster soup with some pickles.
some cNcumbers and radishes and
green onions. A little roast pork and
apple sauce, sliced tomatoes, a Span
ish omclet, German fried potatoes,
cold slaw, some peas and asparagus
on toast and slice of chocolate pie
and a glass OF buttermiIi6 and cup of
tea"
Anything else?"
We'll, had two Swiss cheese sand
wiches and another glass OF butter.
milk before went to bed"
"Whattnell," says the doctor,
waxing protane," It's good thing /
brought my stomach pump"
In about an hour he had ME pumped
back onormal, only was awful weak.
Then he gave me some pink pills and
some brown pills. He tgld me 10 take
the pink pills every three hours and
! the brown pills every two. He also
gave me some liquid medicine 10 take
every other half hour. After the sec.
! ond round could not tell what to take
when. or when TO take what, so ] am
now taking the whole three at once
every hour and half. don't pre-.
! tend to be any doctor, but think in
my weakened condition a good drink
Of liquor would do me about as much
good as the pink pills and the white
pills and the liquid medicine all put
together, but doctors orders must ia
obeyed. Don't say anything about this
to Mrs. Kick as she thinks eat too
much anyhow.
p. ST. think this climate don't
agree with me.

REAL FARMERS ARE
HOLDING SESSION
Meeting at Kansas City Proposes to
Form Cooperative Market Cen
ters Throughout U. S.
WILL DISCUSS OTHER SUBJECTS

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 21.-A
national farmers congress composed
OF real farmers and minus the usual
delegations OF business men, con-
vened here today to formulate plans
for a permanent organization that
will strive to perfect market sys-
TEN for farm products. The meet
ing was called by c. d. Butler of
Chanute, Kan, and /. M. Wright of
Waukesha, Wis, representing i
temporary association.
According TO the promoters, ut is the
intention, II possible, to organize a
farmers association in the nature
of the Landwirtschaftstrat in Germany,
that will look after the business end of
the producers affairs. to establish
market bureaus in all the principal
market centers OF the United States and
a main central clearing house. thus pro-
viding a system OF marketing that will
be under the supervision of the producer
and friendly to his interests; a system
that viii be in a position to locate the de-
mand as well as the supply and provide a
means Of getting the two interests to-
getheR ON the most equitable and aconom-
ical terms possible"
The meeting is TO last three days. Dele
gates were appointed by governors OF
several states, while farm organizations
named others. No one was permitted a
voice in the meeting unless he had creden-
tials to show he was a fully qualified
farmer.
Discussion of how TO make farm life
more attractive, development OF educa-
ton for rural communities and several
other subjects will be discussed during
the convention. The plans of those having
the meeting in charge are that the
delegates themselves will deliver the ad-
crosses. each being given the opportunity
fully TO discuss conditions.
It has been proposed that the new or
ganizetion be known as the National
Farmers Association OF America.
