Mule Hides in CdUe
 When Work ArriUeS.

San Francisco, Feb. 12.-You can lead mule to water but you can't make her drink
 You can maroon a mule on a regular island, entirely surrounded by water, if you please, but you can't make the mule work, unless you can find her and persuade her.
 Take the case of Maud: Maud is a regular mule with all the kick, ginger, pep, get-up, dash and go characteristic of the mule and her family. She lives on the Farallone Islands, where she flourishes and seems happily indifferent to labor of any kind.
 Living at sea has it's disadvant- ages, but Maud none the less IS modern in her ideas. She dislikes work Is that quite clear?
 We'll, everytime Maud, who has been schooled in the language of musical noises, hears the whistle of the government light house tender, her ears take notice and immediate ly consult brain cell which com municates to the mind of Maud that while there's life there's work.
 The brain cells hold conference, consult Maud as to how active she feels, and it is decided to do no work, for, mind you, the whistle of the tender means tedious hours of work hauling supplies for the lighthouse keepers up hills and cliffs

MISSIONARY SOCIETY ENTER

The Missionary Society of the Methodist Church was entertained Tuesday afternoon by Mrs. Wallace Greenhaw. The attendance was good and each one present thor oughly enjoyed the interesting pro grom and the social meeting that followed. Mrs. A. c. Rauscher presided and had charge of the Bible lesson. Mrs. F. M. Flippin arranged the program. The sub ject was Home Mission in New Orleans" Mrs. Dudley Clark gave a talk on the History of New Or leans," Mrs. c. E. Yancey talked on the "Old French Quarter" and Mrs. ". c. House talked about the two missions, St. Marks and Mary Werline Hall A new mission, which is greatly needed, will soon be built. This is made possible through the centenary fund. Mrs. Coulter district secretary, and Mrs. Frank Love, former member of this society. made interesting talks Miss Kitty Newborn gave piano solo, and Miss Louise Barnes sang. A delicious salad course was served at the conclusion of the program.

which stand almost end upon end
 The law of gravity is overcome by Maud-when she can be found. She is hitched to the business end of a whiffle-tree, which m turn IS annexed to a small car which runs on a narrow gauge railway and then Maud does the. rest, which IS by no means unrest.
 But in her old age Maud has learned a thing or two and remem- bers them. First, she located a suitable cave, which serves nicely as hiding place, and next she learned every stanza of the tenders musical approach by heart.
 When the tender draws near Maud moves further inland where the grass is longer and sweeter, and where she has a clear view of per sonal enemies at all times. When they approach with halter she brays or snorts or whatever mules do and leaves the immediate vicinity, seek ing the shelter of her cave and re- maining there until all signs of work have disappeared.
 When the men have carried all the supplies up the cliffs, Maud will reappear, not to be bothered until the tendere makes another trip.
 The tender makes two trips each month to the Farallone Islands, but even that is too much for Maud.
 She's some mule. Any one of the lighthouse tenders will tender you that opinion. Furthermore, like others of her sex, she has little use for light housekeeping.

 CONDITIONS.

 by growing large blocks because of the better distribution of the pollen. The cobs fill out better and the grain is heavier.
 The reduction in cotton acreage on strong, land will defeat the plan of production. I know from ex- perience that the same labor will produce as many bales of cotton on ten acres of land as would be pro- duced on eighteen. The rows Will be closer together, there will be more plants to the drill, more perfect stand and the rows will be worked to the ends. Ten acres can be plowed in two days. One hand can chop it in six to eight days, and by rapid cultivation all enemies of the cotton, such as drouth, lack ot moisture, insects, etc, wall be over come.
 Fewer acres will enable chopper to chop his own crop. It has grown to be custom Tor the choppers to chop each others crops and draw the money for it. This runs their accounts out of reason and they get practically nothing. For sever al years past the merchant and banker have been so indulgent that one-third of cropper's account represents actual cash. This in- dulgnece destroys the cropper and establishes a system that does away with all real farmers and has ere ated a merchant -banker-farmer sys- tem-the real cause of our present trouble.
 We do not need government help, nor the restoration of financial boards. All help from such sources is a burden to the producer If that kind of money could actually reach the producer it would act as brake on his efforts and energy
 We are not in a bad fix. We are at the beginning of good fix, with nothing hurt but our egotism, and that needed pairing down. We have gambled and lost, but the land IS still here and we have lost our title in it by treating it wrong. We can buy it back by treating 1t right. am glad this thing has come for my sons and my grandsons' sake and for the sake of the coming generation, for I feel that they will profit from my experience.
 I have a farm of 160 acres near Marianna, which has been in culti- vation ninety years. Eighty-three bales have been gathered and' sold this past season from this farm. The early gathering sold for thirty cents and the late for eleven. Ey- cry tenant on this place has paid his account and is well satisfied with his years work. The farm has made money for me and is ready to go again with all the essentials, such as grain, etc. The farms on the river where we had MANA GER and store, can be described on- ly in the language of the old Con federate soldier who exclaimed as he went into his first battle: Hell has shorely broke loose," but by good generalship we change the tide of battle.
