Does Ma Wish She Was Pa?
“I wish I had a lot o' cash,"
Sez pa, one winter’s night;
“I'd go down south an’ stay a while
Where days are warm an’ bright." I
He set an’ watched the fire die
(Seemed lost in thoughtful daze),
Till ma brought in some fresh pine
knots
An’ made a cheerful blaze.
\
“I wish I had a million shares
O’ stock in Standard Oil,”
Sez pa: “I wouldn’t do a thing."
Ma made the kettle boil.
An’ mixed hot biscuits, fried some
ham
An' eggs (smelt good, you bet!)
Fetched cheese an’ doughnuts, made
the tea,
Then pa—set down an’ et!
j
“I wish I was a millionaire,”
Sez pa; “I'd have a snap.”
Next, from the lounge, we heard a
snore:
Pa—at his ev’nin’ nap,
Ma did the dishes, shook tl\e cloth,
Brushed up, put things away,
An’ fed the cat, then started up
Her plans for bakin’ day.
She washed an' put some beans to
soak,
An’ set some bread to rise;
Unstrung dried apples, soaked ’em too,
All ready for her pies;
She brought more wood, put out the
cat,
Then darned Jour pairs o’ socks;
Pa awoke, an’ sez, “It’s time for bed;
Ma, have you wound both clocks?”
—Mary F. K Hutchins in Woman’s
Home Companion.
Producing Corporation.
The farmers, as a class, form the
greatest producing corporation in the
country.
What other corporation, one-horse
or Standard Oil, would calmly submit
to such conditions?
Is it any wonder, then, that wealth
is accumulated in a few hands; that
w'e find trouble developing our waste
places; ihat the farmer as a class is
the poorest of our population, when
he should be the richest?
Is it with a firm realization «f these
conditions, and a determination to re
move them, that the Farmers’ Union
was founded? It appealed with vigor
and persistence to the masses of the
country’s wealth-producer, dealing
with facts I have roughly outlined to
you.
The result has been that today,
scarcely five years from our organiza
tion. we have a membership approach
ing 3,000,000 of the people upon whose j
efforts the prosperity of this country
depends.
The farmer is the one man who
brings his product iuto the market and
asks meekly, “What will you give
me?” And then takes what is given
him! Up to a few years ago there
was not even the semblance of a
trade about it. The buyer simply dic
tated what lie was willing to give
and the producer humbly accepted.
The cotton farmer no longer goes
meekly to market and takes what is
Woman’s Beauty
Some women retain their beauty to an advanced
age. But women, who regularly endure pain, age
rapidly, for suffering leaves its lasting marks on
| them.
I Nearly all women suffer more or less with some
| form of female trouble. It should not be neglected.
| (Avoid the pain*—treat yourself at home by taking
jCardui, as thousands of other women have done.
I Begin at once and give Cardui a fair trial.
CARDUI
It WU1 Help You
Katie Burlison, Goreyille, HI., tried Cardui writes:
“I suffered with female troubles, and was so sick I could not
on my feet. Finally I began to take Cardui, and soon began to
mend. Now I am able to do all my houaework and am in much
[ better health than I waa before.” Try it.
AT ALL DRUG STORES
given him. He says: “Mv cotton is
worth :o much to me and to you. I
demand this or that price for it. It
is my property, rnd 1 have a right
to put a price on it.”—From President
Barrett’s Address.
The Most Interesting Discussion.
The most interesting and animated
discussion of the recent National
Farmers’ Union Convention was that
which followed the report of the com
mittee on minimum price of cotton. All
were agreed as to the principles in
volved and the price which ought to
prevail, but as to the best policy to
pursue to bring about the desired re
sult there were differences of opin
ion. The question was discussed, how
ever, in a fraternal spirit and no bit
terness was left as the result of the
contest. It seems to be not. a ques
tion yet of getting what cotton is
worth, but of securing the best price
possible until the farmers become well
enough educated to know what it costs
to produce the staple. Hence, it is
to be hoped that the action of the con
vention will be acceped and loyally
adhered to and that no one will crowd
the market, even should the price be
reached.
There must be loyalty on the part
of the membership if the Farmers’ Un
ion is ever to succeed as it has the op
portunity to do. Personal indepen
dence and democracy are all right in
politics, but the business organization
or institution which succeeds has a
head which can originate policies and
direct their execution.
It is understood that the minimum
price of cotton is to be kept a secret
in the Union. Now, let every local
enforce the order, or expel the offend
ing member.
All over the country truck and fruit
growers are taking action for close
union, with the view of putting u;.
their products in better and more at
tractive packages. They are also en
deavoring to secure proper inspection
and grading of their products before
shipment. Fruit and truck growers of
California and Florida secure profit
able prices for their products because
they are put on the market in tli
best possible condition, and are so
packed as to prove attractive to the
consumer. When Texas fruit and
truck growers learn to do this their
returns will be greater than in the
past.
Milkmen’s Union.
About six months ago Chicago pass
ed an ordinance to the effect that al
ter January 1 every drop of milk that
was shipped into the city would have
to be from herds that had been test
ed for tuberculosis, and it had been
shown that the cattle were free from
the dreaded disease, or else the milk
would have to be pastuerized before
it was sold for consumption. The
law in itself is perfectly right and
just to all concerned, producers, deal
ers and consumers, but the trouble
arises in the fact that the dairymen
thought they could get the act killed
before January 1, consequently they
are now up against it. The city is
trying to hold strictly to its munici
pal laws, while the farmers in the |
vicinity are trying to break them.
Eighteen thousand I'linois milkmen
have formed a union to better fight
this legislation. The prices of dairy
products are nearly out of sight. Talk
of 18 cent milk and dollar butter
makes the people begin to wonder
if they had not better give the dairy
men time to at least erect pusturiz
lng plants.—Oklahoma Farmer.
Paper From Cotton Stalks.
At last, so it is reported, (he cotton
stalk is to have commercial value. A
company has been formed in Atlanta
for the purpose of making printing
paper out of this hitherto worthless
weed of the winter’s rartn. Simulta
neously with this announcement
conies the news from the wood pu p
fields, both in Wisconsin and Canada,
that, owing to the long drouth, the
output of paper has been reduced
one half of the usual normal supply.
Thus it is that the cotton stalk, a
despised and troublesome adjunct ot
the Southern plantation after the
fleecy staple has been picked from it,
may come forward, not only to re
lieve the publishers of the country
but to add to the treasury of the
farmer, if it be true (hat paper can
be made from the stalks then the
rapidly diminishing forests of the
Northwest will be spared the rav
ages from the ax man.
It was not so long ago that the seed
from cotton was wasted because
there was no demand for them. Now
cotton seed bring almost as much
revenue per acre as the cotton itself.
The oil is bottled and labeled as If
it had come from Italy, and used by
many of our fashionable restaurants
for salads and other culinary pur
poses. From the hulls we make fer
tilisers. And now, if the stalks can
be converted into paper the day for
commercial independence for the
Southern planter has arrived.*— Ex
change.
