ABRAHAM LINCOLN

! The world pays tribute to men of
character. The little incidents of
| life that build character are what
make men remembered and honored
long after death.
We are all familiar with the life
of Abraham Lincoln. His home was
a log cabin, his food the humblest,
his clothes the coarsest and his pow
erty was so utter that he studied by
the light of a candle after laborious
days of rail splitting. Yet he gradu-
ated from this college and became
chief of the nation.
Two sides of Lincoln's life may be
revealed to you by the following:
Don't forget your friends. When
trouble comes, the face of an old
friend is like a ray of sunshine
through dark and gloomy clouds"
Don't be like the little trifling
steamboat we used to have putting
about on the Sangamon with a sew
en-foot whistle and a five-foot boiler,
so that every time it whistled the
boat stopped"
The voice of Abraham Lincoln has
long been silenced, but his influence
is yet a power among the American
people.

FUNDAMENTALS OF CO-OPERA.
TION

Aaron Sapiro, the noted authority
on cooperative marketing, summar-
ICES the fundamental essentials of
successful cooperative organizations
as follows:
l. Pure co-operation-it must
not trade nor speculate.
2. The grower must absolutely
surrender his right to market. The
organization hires the best talent to
market for him.
3. Strong contracts; tie the farm
er with a rope of steel. 1t means
safety for all concerned
4. Make pools. 1t is absolutely
necessary to pool in order to make
sales.
5. Collective credit. Don't let
the individual make credit. Make il
collectively, for then you get better
rates and longer time.

WILL THE EIGHTEENTH AMEND
MENT STAND?

Bluff and swagger on the part of
the vets have served to confuse the
minds of many persons as to the
status of the federal dry amendment
What are the chances that the
states will invalidate its ratification?
OF the 4 3 states ratifying the amend
laws and hence absolutely no ques-
tion can be raised as to the validity
of their ratification. Of the IA rati-
flying states which have referendum
laws, four-Oregon, Maine, Arkan-
sas and Washington-have refused
to allow a referendum vote on the
ratification by the legislature That
makes 3 states irrevocably commit
ted to the Eighteenth amendment
just one short of the requisite num-
Der to incorporate it in the federal
constitution. In the event the su-
preme court of the United States
should hold referendums an intergral
part of state ratification of federal
amendments, the drys would only
have to carry one state out of the
ten to win, while the vets would
have to carry every one of the ten
referendum-ratifying states to defeat
the Eighteenth amendment. The
most liberal estimates do not con-
cede more than three states of the
ten to the vets. The vets chancesy
therefore, of invalidating through
state action the ratification of the
Eighteenth amendment are practical
ly nil.
What are the chances that the
United States supreme court will de-
clare the ratification of the amend
ment invalid?
The Eighteenth amendment has
been ratified in exactly the same
manner as all other federal amend
ments have been ratified If it is
invalid, all the others are
The amendment has been regular
ly proclaimed by legal authorities as
ratified and so is an integral part
of United States organic law. The
supreme court has never in all its
history claimed jurisdiction and
power to pass on the legality or
propriety Of a federal amendment.
nor has it ever, either directly or
collaterally, attempted to adjudicate
such amendments.
The chances of the vets being able
to encompass the defeat of the
Eighteenth amendment are desper-
ate to the last degree. The well-in-
formed Washington correspondent
of the New York Sun estimates it as
sporting chance-one to thou

turbed in reference to the validity OF

DANGEROUS TO BOTH PRODUC-
ERS AND CONSUMERS

One of the greatest evils of the
old system of marketing wheat is
the gambling in futures on farm
products. Not only is the gambling
demoralizing to those who engage
in it but it is detrimental to both
the producer and consumer. If a
clique of rich spectators bet that
the price of wheat will go down and
by their manipulation succeed in
bearing the market, the farmer who
raises the wheat suffers IT, on the
other hand. the spectators who
have bet that the price will go up,
succeed in bulling the market. the
consumer has to foot the bill And
as rule, the price is not forced up
until after the grain has passed out
OF the hands of the men who grew
it. Senator LaFollette has well de-
fined a successful gamble in futures
as - case where a man buys what
he don't get. with money that he
hasn't got and then sells what he
never had, for more than it was
ever worth.
Most of the spectators seem to
think that if they want to gamble
in futures it is none of the farmers
business. They advance the same
contention as two men who were
squirting tobacco juice at crack in
a floor and betting on which one OF
them could come the nearest to it.
When third party approached and
requested them TO desist. they in.
solently replied; We are bettinq
our money not yours. and so it i,
none of your business" Well" re
piled the other, 1T is your none,
all right, but it is my floor, and

NAVAJO INDIANS g.
NOW MAKING RUGS
WITH CHEAP WOOL
(By ASSOCIATED Press)

Ell PASO, Texas, Oct. S.-NavaJo
Indians of northeast Arizona have re.
turned to rug making after several
years, during which the supply has
greatly diminished, according to ira
t,lers from that section of the country.
During the last several years, Indians
have refused to weave the famous
Navajo rugs and blankets because OF
the high price of wool and dealers
have had difficulty in supplying the
demands of tourists.
With the present low prices of wool,
however, the Indians prefer to work
up their wool into rugs rather than
to sell it, according to persons familiar
with the situation.
Ranchmen attribute the low price
of wool, immense quantities of which
are stored in southwestern states, to
the bringing to the southwest of sheep
and goats from northwestern states.
The sheep brought in We're distributed
from Ell Paso and San Angelo to
points west of the latter place on the
Orient railroad and along the South
ern Pacific from Sanderson through
Val Verde county and as far east as
BeXar county.

SMUT CAMPAIGN
ON OVER COUNTRY

/. Farmers who are having any trouble
with head smut appearing in their
fields of milo maize should report the
same at once to the farm advisor as
the University of California is start
ing campaign against head smut.
Farm Advisor E. L. Garthwaite
says:
Head smut attacks maize or In
dian corn and heveral varieties of
sorghums both sweet and grain. 1t
is distinguished from other smuts
found attacking those crops by the
smutty fibrous or stringy reduced ap-
pearance of the heads when attacked.
No seed is produced and the stalks
are seldom more than 60 per cent OF
normal height and growth. On Indian
corn it may be confused with boil
smut which not only attacks the heads
and tassels but may attack all por-
tions of the corn plant. Usually the
boil smut leaves some kernels on each
ear. Another sorghum smut reduces
the head to blackened powdery mass
but is distinguishable by the normal
height of stolk."
