Immediately all four members Of his
party began to talk at the same time:
Mr.. Schulmeyer agreeing with Grist,
and Mr.. Cullop holding with Peck
that Beasley had surely become in
sane; while the Journal man, re-
turning, was certain that he had not
been seen. Argument became a
wrangle; excitement over the remark
able scene we had witnessed, and,
perhaps, certain sharpness partially
engerhered by the risk Of freezing,
led to some bitterness. High words
were flung upon the wind. Eventually,
Simeon Peck got the floor to himself
for a moment.
".See here, boys, there's no use

vociferated. "one thing we're all

There was but one mind in the party
regarding this proposal The next

of bent and Tapping figures, black
against the snow.

was half-raised as well. Here, in the
shadow just beyond the rosy oblongs
of light that fell upon the snow, we
gathered and looked freely within.
Part of the room was clear to our
view, though about half of 1t was shut
off from us by the very king of all

and dozens of candles, smnptuous in

stentorian tones, "If the ladies will be

FARM ! BUREAU
HEARS TALK ON
MARKETING

A meeting of the Executive Com
mittee was held in the courthouse
Wednesday at which Dr.. Perkins
and Mr.. Bruno appeared in the in
terest of the Farm Bureau cation
contract has been pretty well sign
ed up by the cotton states and Lou
isiana's quota of $4,000 bales has
been signed up in some sections and
difficulty is not anticipated in secur-
ing the total required, which will
give the contract something like one
fourth of the entire cotton crop Of
the cotton growing district.
The meeting was presided over by
President Frank L. Dutsch, E. J..
Frederick, secretary. DR.. Perkins
was introduced by MT. Dutsch.
In his talk DR.. Perkins gave an
interesting history Of the extension
work of the state. An important
thing that he stressed was the fact
that with all the years of endeavor
to get the farmer interested in his
own affairs little headway had been
made. He had studied and thought
over the matter without being able
to arrive at any satisfactory con-
clusion. But he emphasized the
statement that until the farmer did
take interest, did cooperate with
and assist those who were working
in his behalf, results could not be
expected.
Mr. Brurot told what was being
done to market products for the
farmer, and showed the impossibili-
ty of a good market price for cotton
unless the market was supplied only
with sufficient amount to meet the
demands of trade. He said there
would be no effort to force prices
abnormally, and. that If these were
it would fail; but that a fair price
could not be obtained under pre1ent
conditions. He said that the only
way in which cotton could be profit
ably marketed was by putting it in
the hands of distributing agents who
were posted as to: the needs of the
market and who would have it grad
ed by experts who would give 1t its
proper grade. This must be done by
a contract that gave absolute power
in the handling Of it. This contract
did that and it insured to the farmer
the best market price that could be
obtained, and certainly a higher price
than could be obtained by individual
marketing.
Mr.. Frank l.. Dutsch was the first
in st. Tanmany parsih to sign the
cotton contract.
Rice has already been signed up
and the prospects are bright for good
returns from the coming crop.

undergo the Pasteur treatment: In
| eleven days he was pronounced out of
| danger. In the meantime Lilly took
her time about developing hydro
phobia, but on last Friday night the
first symptoms Of this malady were
noticed. Sam Pier, a negro employ
ed by Mr.. Herbert Smith, owner of
Lilly, ventured into the yard to give
the mule attention but the animal
had gone mad. It plunged straight
into Pier and bit him. Others were
then called to the scene and after OBJ
serving that the mule was having fits
and foamins at the mouth, the town
marshal, Mr.. Philip Smith, was sent
for to kill the mule. The shots did
not bring death instantaneously-
the mule did not even seem >dazed-
but after d few minutes of wild run
ming Lilly collapsed, exhausted from
the loss of blood.
Pier was also sent to take the
Pasteur treatment on the following
morning.
Lilly's career has been an unfor-
tunate one. When in the hands of
her first owner she was struck by a
train and almost killed then but was
saved as result of medical skill.
From time to time she has had her
ups and downs and finally met her
death after the fatal dog bite.
