MYSTERY IN = KU KLUX START
FOR COUNTRY.

Danyille, Va, April 20.-Consider-
able mystery attached itself tonight at
about g., o'clock when about seventy
five automobiles each one filled with
ROBBED members Of the Ku Klux Khan,
went nortlfward through the city. The
cars as they passed through North Dan
vile were strung out in long line and
at once arrested the attention of pede-
strians The machines were headed for
Chatham, where nothing unusual wills
reported. The view prevailed that some
mystic rite was scheduled in the open
country.

Colored citizens in this country
should understand that politics Is be.

enter into the equation in any respect.
1t is question Of success at the polls.
All the leaders desire to ascertain is as
to whether the recognition Of this fact

whether the declination to recognize
any particular faction or interest will
bring to the Party failure.
Any group, which will support par.

''The way look at it, Ramsey"
Fred Mitchell said, when they reached
their apartment, whittier a benevolent

when he called yeu a fake. He must
have thought you anyway looked as if
you could make a better speech than
you did. Oh, golly!"
And as Ramsey groaned, the jovial
Mitchell gave himself up to the divan
and the mirth ooh, oh, oh, golly!" he
sputtered.
"Never you mind, Brother Milhol-
land" Colburn said gently. "The Luz

seen dozens in my time, just like you;
and some of 'em got to be first rate

"Fve talked to him couple o times

"Poor old Prof. Craig!" Colburn

So Farmer Browns business was pu.
on q paying basis by means of a few
pertinent records. No formal book
keeping had been done during the re-
organization period. But Farmer
Brown was convinced, and prepara-
tons were made for developing the
Office end of the work. A set of ac~
counts adapted to his needs was start
ed, routine clerk taught to do the
work and the accountant released to
new work.
The Department of Agriculture
economics of the college of agricul-
ture at Madison, has worked out a
new farm record book, or bound set
of forms, which will enable any farm
er to attack his own problems as Farm
er Brown did his, with small amount
of labor and great deal of benefit.
The department will cooperate with
such farmers as are seriously inter
ested in accounts adapted to their
farm business.

November, 1885, several hundred farm
ers gathered for the epOch-making
meetings that inaugurated Il movement
which has since spread across the con-
tinent.
For many weeks before this first In
stitute, the local weekly paper was
filled with news concerning this COM
ing event. 1t was heralded by agrlcul-
tural leaders of the surrounding terri
tory as q great boon to the farming in
terests of not only Wisconsin, but of
all America, since it was but the be-
ginning, of a nationwide program OF
farmers Institutes.
Origin Of the Institutes.
In the winter of 1SS4-5, &. e. Esta-
brook introduced a bill in the state
legislative body of Wisconsin pertain
ing to the establishment of farmers
institutes. This bill was passed and
carried with it an appropriation of So
600. In speaking of the origin Of this
famous plan, Mr. EstabrOOk once said:
SIN the early part of October, 1884,
| listened to a short address by the
late Hon. Hiram Smith to the farmers
of ManitoWOc county, delivered upon
grounds of the Industrial associa-
ton adjoining the city of ManitowOc.
The address was very practical one.
It was, in fact, the summing up of the
valuable experiences and study of a
long and useful Iife and was given
under such adverse conditions as the
noise and confusion incident to q fair
ground.
''The first thought that came to me
was what q pity that the valuable ex-
perience of a successful lifetime
should be given out under such unfa
vorable circumstances and that no eff.
