THE FARMER HELPS HIMSELF

state convention of eight farmers
organizations will be held in Topeka
March 5 for the purpose of electing
delegates to attend the national con-
vention of farm associations which
will be held in Chicago April 6.
The Chicago convention is called for
the purpose of completing the pro-
posed cooperative marketing organi-
cation. That the plan already formu-
lated will be endorsed there seems lit
tie reason to doubt.
For years the farmer has been call
ing for help, and his appeals have
fallen on unresponsive ears. He has
called upon great political parties; he
has been greatly flattered by them,
and, after the votes were cast, has
found himself out of court He has
Joined this or that movement in the
hope that economic salvation might
be in store for him.
The abuses of the interests controli-
ing foodstuffs and markets in the
past, whether fancied or real, had
brought about the feeling that the
farmer was on the small end of the
horn.
Political demagogues helped along
that feeling, just as they are doing to-
day. No class in the United States
has been reused to fury with the Pc
riodical regularity that the farmer
has. Then he has been left to nurse
his wounds as best he could. The
farmer was safe ground for this brand
of politician because he was not or
ganized. He could do nothing after
his vote had been cast. In fact, it has
been a standing rule in politics and
big business these many years to
keep the farmer from getting anything
like a representative organization.
Having passed thru his period of
clamor and appeals for help. without
avail, the farmer is turning to the
last, and the sensible course of action.
He is getting together. He is rolling
up his sleeves and helping himself.
He realizes that no one is going to
save him If he does not save himself,
and saved" he most certainly pro-
poses to be. He now is planning to
sell his products himself; when and
where he pleases, and at a price of his
own naming He is preparing to put
himself in a position where he can
snap his fingers at elevator men,
boards of trade and politicians.

posed to be an infallible feminine
trait. Unfortunately. sometimes mother
gets cheated, and very often sister
does, merely from not knowing how to
tell wool from cotton. or not under
standing the psychology of bargain
counters. or because she failed tc note
that the storekeeper was weighing his
thumb with the sugar while he in
quired solicitously about the family
health. Intelligent buying is one of
the least understood branches of
housekeeping.
Closely allied with the technique of
spending money is the art of keeping
a family budget, and apportioning the
income to the best advantage. And
then the courses arranged under the
provisions of the bill would doubtless
include sewing, home nursing, and
sanitation.
The time may come when a house
keeper will be expected to know her
business as well any one else.

:. And, oh. how we watched the mails,
But nobody writes the quaint delights

What Quality Do Men Admire Most in
Woman?-1.
We were discussing little woman
who had not only made three brilliant
ing husband who worShipped her to
the day of his death, but who had been
surrounded by a throng of admiring
men all of her life.
"She must wear a rabbits foot
around her neck, or have some other
secret conjure," said a woman. For,
SO far as I can see, there is nothing
especially attractive about her. She is
nice enough, pleasant enough, but not
more SO than the general miH-run OF
femininity. Yet she has married three
men, each one of whom was catch,
and all of her life she has had a wait
ing list camping on her parlor stairs,
and cutting into her dances.
Heaven knows, she is no beauty,
said another woman.

like a package that mother tied up,

mo wit nor vivacity,' said a fourth,
| small beer gossip about her personal
acouaintances, and her husband, and
children, and house, comprises her
conversational range"
She's lust an ordinary woman, just
commonplace, so far as other women
can perceive. Yet she appears to
what every woman would like to know
is, what is the secret of her charm Tor
men? .-L.- -
tShe possesses the quality that men
admire most in a woman" said an old
bachelor who had been listening to
the conversation, land that is woman

the hearts of men to woman as IT.
resistibly as the magnet draws the
needle. That is the lure that is more
potent than all the spells that the
vamp can cast about a man"
Beauty? OF course. men admire
beauty OF course pretty face
catches a mans fancy. OF course a
man likes to be seen out with a peach
who makes other men rubber and
envy him his luck. -
But did you ever notice how few
beauties make really good matches
Can't you recall a dozen old maids VINO
are reputed to have been great bellies
in their youth, and haven't you heard
your mother wonder why these women
who were once SO much admired,
never married?
The explanation is, that mans ad-
miration of feminine beauty is per-
sonal. They like to look at beautiful
woman, as they like to look at some
mast erpiece OF art, but they don't
covet it for themselves. They are per-
| feetly willing for some other man to
| hang the living picture ON his own
walls. If you will observe, you will
see that while beauty insures girl a
good time, it doesn't guarantee her a
wedding ring.
AS for style and smartness, they cut
no figure in a mans estimation of q
woman. A man likes to know that
| the woman he goes out with is we'll
dressed, he likes her to have on some
| thing that is soft, and pretty, and
| light-colored; but beyond that. he
knows and cares nothing for the de-
| tails of her toilette. No woman makes

! a daily hint from Paris. He gets cold
feet when he thinks of the price tag

f. Comptroller of the Currency John
Shelton williams is quoted as estimat-
ing that shrinkage of values of farm,
factory and mine products last year
amounted to from $12, 900. 100000 to
$4,000, 900. 900. while values of indus
trial securities listed on the stock ex-
change fell away to the extent of from
three to four billions. If shrinkages
not included in these classes of prop
erty were also taken into considera-
tion, the total loss of values probably
would aggregate some twenty-four
billions, or about $500 for each man,
woman and child in the country. But
the fact that these losses are largely
of the paper variety renders them
less formidable than they appear TO
be. Losses of this character ark not
felt unless the holder of the property
place It on the market. When it is
retained it may easily and frequently
does regain the original value.
