Having strolled into the room un
concernedly, the mere man paused in
surprise. His eyebrows went up. No
body paid the slightest attention to
I him.
At one table his wife was pouhditig
doggedly, determinedly, with a little
hammer, at something placed upon
what looked like an old-fashioned
breadboard. At a card table the
young woman from three floors above
hammered viciously with a little mal
let at another bread board. Between
them, upright in a rocking chair, the
I young woman from the floor below
wrinkled her fair brow as she tied
mysterTous knots in what looked like
a heap of straw brought in from the
I barn loft. v
! "Excuse me,” said the mere man,
"but is this room No. 205, or isn’t it?
One gets so confused in a family hotel,
| you know—”
"Don't be any more foolish than you
can help:” interrupted his wife, be
tween poundings. “We’re just doing
Christmas things!”
“Oh!" said the man
"It’s brass work," explained his wife.
“We are making electric light shades,
; the perforated kind. At least Mrs.
Tryem and 1 are. Flossie, however, is
! doing raffia work.”
_
"Well,” said the man, strolling over
to the basket weaver. "I’m glad that
one of you picked out a lady like style
j of fancy work. It sort of gives tone
to the assembly and takes the edge off
the remarkably crude and brutal
heartiness with which my wife and
Mrs. Tryem are conducting • per
fectly good imitation of a foundry.
How have you noisy people squared
yourselves with the persons in the
rooms above, below and on either side
of you?”
“Why,” explained Mrs. Tryem. "we
don't know who's above us and the
1 man on the left is out and the woman
on the right is deaf, so it's all right."
"I am so glad it's all right,” said the
man. "If they telephone up from
the offic e, telling us to quit the racket
or get out, 1 can just explain in a few
brief, well-chosen phrases that they
1 needn't worry because it’s all right
and that I was told so on excellent au
i thority. What odd ideas women have!
Taking a nice, shiny piece of brass
and spoiling it by punching holes all
■ over it so they can hang 1t up and
obscure what little light an unob
structed electric bulb gives!"
“But they are dreadfully pretty,”
protested his wife.
"Of course, that's different,” admit
ted the man. "Give us beauty, even
if we don't have light. It reacts on
your soul and character, you know. 1
heard that once in a lecture and I’ve
, always remembered it, because the lec
turer had such weird whiskers. But,
say—you're 'way behind time! I can
; think of several ways in which you
could simplify that work. That stilet
to thing pounded by hand gets in only
’ thirty or forty punches a minute. Just
take your sewing machine, put in an
extra heavy needle without any thread
and let 'er go. Why, you could finish
a whole shade in an hour!"
Mrs. Tryem gazed at him with spec
illative, fascinated eyes, but his wife
looked scornful. "The chief charm of
these things." she said, "is that they
are hand work Machinery-made stuff
is always horrid. What could we do
with the extra time if we did save it?
Wed just have to find more things tc
do and for all you know they might be
worse than this!"
"Then by all means don't," interupt
ed the man, in haste. "Take just as
long to do these as you choose. Dc
you leave the edgrs raw that way or
do you put on ruffles of Irish crochet
or what? Otherwise 1 don’t see what
you are ever going to do with all the
yards of stuff you vo been crocheting
Do you have stated times to pound
'our fingers nr how do you arrange
•hat? Nobody lias smashed a finger
since I came in. so I consider the enter
tainuieiit a frost!"
"I can pound one of yours to Jelly
if you'll bring it over here,” suggested
Mrs. Tryem invitingly. “It might give
you something to think about so you
wouldn't continue to waste time as
I you've done the last ten minutes!”
Anyhow," retorted the man. “it
won t be a month before somebody
: will put on the market a machine that
i I "’HI punch the entire pattern on a
p dozen shades at one time with one
1 punch and then you’ll hate yourselves
to think how you slaved: Flossie, here
little ladylike Flossie, is disturbing nc
one but herself with her work. If she
chooses to tie harmless knots in pieces
of straw, she just shall, bless her
heart' You can burn up straw, you
know, and get rid of it, but it’s harder
to dispose of brass. Of course, people
can dig a hole in the hack yard and
bury it, but in cold weather the ground
is so frozen—”
"See here:” cried his wife, with
i poised hammer, “would you very much
mind going down and talking to some
of the men in the smoking room for
about an hour?”
Indeed, no!" said the mere man
, with injured spirit. "Not when you
have turned my happy home into n
boiler factory. Of course, against
Flossie I have no grievance. She c»d

The explanation of some farm suc
i cesses is the eggs plantation.
Please a farmer by praising what
| he raises, and also what he buys.
A farmer may also be known by
j what his hired help says about him.
i Honest toil may be ennobling, but
it does not always pay off the mort
gage.
To be in the right place at the
right time is not always a matter of
accident.
If you want the world to take you
at your own valuation don't give your
self away.
A farm will work for a man day
and night, if he will only work for
it in the day.
Many a girl on the farm went to i
the bad because she did not know j
the devil always wore store clothes. !
Many a farmer's wife does more j
work before breakfast than her hus
band does all day and never seems to
notice it.
It always makes us feel a bit hard
toward the man who takes advantage
of the opportunities we failed to hear i
when the knock came to our door.
Agricultural science is the system
atic accumulation of knowledge
through experience gained by con
tract with the soil and its products.
Some farmers always expect to find
a bountiful table, but neglect to sup
ply the foundation for it, and then
blame their wives for the lack of good j
things.
An egg by Itself has small value, ;
but added to 11 others it makes a
dozen and will bring you 25 cents;
ten dozen means $2.50. if you carry
a few- dozen eggs to market every
time you go their value in cents in a
year will astonish you if you keep
account of them.
HANDLE COTTON IN ARKANSAS
Suggested That Oklahoma Plan of
Assessing Members to Relieve
Distressed Be Adopted.
Farmers’ Educational
and Co-Operative
Union of America
Matters Especial Moment to
the Progressive Agriculturist
I recently noticed a plan indorsed
and adopted in Oklahoma for the pur
pose of handling: the distressed cot
ton. This plan I believe was not gen
eral, but only applied to several dis
tricts writes John Powers, Sr., ex
State President of the Arkansas Farm
ers' union, in Co-Operator. Now, as
well as 1 remember, they were to
assess each member in this district
something like $15 for the purpose
of financing the distressed and other
union cotton. This amount was to be
paid in four installments.
Now. has it ever occurred to you
members of the Farmers’ union in
this state of Arkansas that we need
the same kind of policy in this state? j
Have you stopped to figure what you i
are losing in the way the most of j
us are marketing our cotton? We i
lose on an average of at least $2 per
bale.
Now. we have in our state a Farm- j
ers' union enterprise that is operated \
for the benefit of the union members.
This company is owned and controlled i
by the state union. Now, why can't
we adopt a method along the lines of j
our neighbors in Oklahoma? Say we
assess each member in the state $!
to b" paid at once if possible and if
not in four installments of 25 cents
each. Taking for granted that we
have between 50,000 and 80,000 mem
bers in the state, that would make a
total of this fund amount to say $100.
Otto Now. you will ask what we w ill j
do with that money? I say turn it '
over to the cotton company which we i
have and it will enable them to buy
distressed cotton and to also com
pete with other cotton firms in that
business. You will be winner even it I
you gave them the dollar and only let
them handle one bale of cotton for j
you. You lost more on every hale you | *
sell in the streets than I am asking '
j you to give to this company. j ,
Another thing is that this company
can then compete with the buyers in
your own town, and help you out in
that way also. !
The trouble, brothers, wi*h we union
people is that we are too cheap. When
they ask us for a few cents or even
dollars we at once go straight up,
and don't come down until wre have
accused some one of robbing us. We
can't expect to win our fights against
other well organized concerns without
money. It takes money to start and
run any kind of an enterprise. Now
we ought to get together and make
this one concern of ours winner. They
deserve the union business of the state
and have proven to us that they can
save us money in handling our cot
ton, as well as get good prices for j
same. Now so many of us have ' >1
blamed them for what has been done ! ^
before they organized last year. Now I <i
are they responsible for what other j }
people have done to you? No. They •!
should have a trial before being con- ]j
demned. Now take this up at your •!
next meeting and talk it over with J
the members. I believe that they will 5
indorse a plan of this kind for they j
are bound to see that It will benefit i
them After talking the matter up I ^
will be glad to have you, as many as *i
will, to reply through this paper or ]j
by letter to the writer and give him h
your ideas about It. Even if you are J
it. coR.c ou aaa talk it out |
