QUEEN’S LOST BRACELET.
B.oyal Patronage Secured by Lisbon
Girl Who Was Fortunate
Finder.
While at an open-air bazar ami
fete in tin* Estrella gardens, Lis
bon, recently, the queen dowager
of Portugal lost a gold bracelet
set with diamonds, which she
greatly prized as the gift of the
late King l.uiz on their wedding
day. A close search of t he grounds
for tin* missing ornament met
with no success, says the London
Mail.
On going home in the evening
one of the oldest of the keepers
was relating the incident to his
wife, when their little seven-year
old granddaughter slipped out of
bed, and. to their astonishment,
held out the lost bracelet, asking
them to look at the pretty round
^tiling she had found in the gar
dens.
Next day the keeper hastened
to the palace with the ornament,
and on announcing his errand was
admitted directly to the queen,
who offered him £o0 as a reward.
The old man, however, proudly de
clined to accept it, saying he had
only done his duty.
‘•Hut.” he addl'd, “my wife and
1 are old. and will soon die. If her
majesty wishes to do something
for me let her protect my little
granddaughter,the finder of the
bracelet, who will be left alone.”
The queen smilingly granted
this bumble request, and prom
ised to interest herself in the fu
ture of the child, who is forthwith
to he sent to a good school.
Value of Food and Water.
A horse in good condition can
exist about 2.“> days without food
If it has plenty of water. If he has
food without water five days
would probably end his existence.

GOOD ROADS VERSUS
RURAL FREE DELIVERY
Facts About the Enormous Cost
of Rural Hail Service.
Money Thus Expended Could be Used
to Much Better Advantage in
Road Building.
The Journal heartily endorses
the following article on the impor
tant question of good roads, from
the St. Louis Drygoods man, and
would like to have the opinion of
some of our farmer friends on this
subject. Write us your views on
the question. Let's agitate the
matter and find out how deeply
the people are interested in good
roads:
It will cost the United States
Government this year approxi
mately thirty million dollars to
operate the rural free delivery
routes now established- and only
a part of the country is now cov
ered. An extension of the routes
means a vast expansion of the pos
tal deficit and at the present rate
of progress the next few years will
see it reach a figure appalling in
its immensity.
This year it will cost $30,000,
000.00, next year probably $40,
000,000.()(), the next year in all
likelihood !?5o,ouo,ooo.oo to stick
mail in the farmers' tin boxes
along the road—a service for
which there is, at present, no es
pecial need.
The country does not need Ru
ral Free Delivery. The country
does, most emphatically, most pit
ifully. need Good Roads.
Suppose the Government should
take the $.30,000,000.0»> that will
be expended on Rural Free Deliv
ery (for which there is no need)
and spend it on good roads (for
which there is a crying need)—
what would be accomplished'
Five thousand dollars will build
a mile of magnificent highway,
permanent, efficient, vastly econo
mical to the fanner in bringing his
produce to market: fifty thousand
dollars will build ten miles; five
hundred thousand dollars will build
a hundred miles: five million dol
lars will builu a thousand miles:
fifty million dollars will build ten
thousand miles of splendid high
way.
It the lmted states tjovern
ment would expend S.',u. ouo.ooti.Oo
in building tine public highways,
(for which there is a crying need)
instead -of spending it on Rural
Free Delivery, (for which there is
no need) there would be construct
ed each year in America,ten thous
and milds of splendid permanent
roadways, and thereby conduce to
the prosperity, and add to the
tangible wealth of the nation as a
whole.
But wait! Suppose the Fnited
States Government should say to
the different States: ’AN e have
*.'>0,000,000.00 to spend this year
on good roadways, but we will not
give the money away —we intend
to build good roads ‘on shares1.
For every mile of good road you
build in your State this year, we
will build a mile of good road,
share and share alike, until all of
the So0,000,000.00 has been ex
pended.”
This would mean that instead of
only *:>o.uoo,ooo.0o, at least $100,
ooo.ooo.oo would be spent on good
roads or 20,000 miles of good
highways constructed in America
each year!
But wait! Suppose the l nited
States Government, and the differ
ent State Governments, together,
would say to all the Counties in all
the different States: ’AN e, to
gether, have $100,000,O00.0o to
spend this year on good roadways,

PURPOSE OF NATIONAL
COTTON ASSOCIATION
5eeks to Organize Cotton Growers
and Reduce the Acreage.
South Can Stop Growing Cotton and
be Prosperous, but the World
Cannot Stop Using it.
Following is a copy of the agree
ment being sent out to the fann
ers all over the South by the Na
tional Cotton Association of Fort
Worth, Texas:
We, the undersigned cotton
growers, residing in School Dis
trict No....,County.State,
do hereby pledge ourselves to re
duce our cotton acreage in the
year 1U<>5 to the amount set op
posite our names.
We also call upon our merchants
and bankers to aid us in securing a
uniform reduction of cotton acre
age this year.
I'he objects of the association,
briefly outlined, are to bring to
gether into one association the far
mers. bankers, merchants, ginners,
railroads, newspapers and all al
lied interests for protection and
promotion of the cotton industry.
The South can stop growing cot
ton and then be prosperous but
the spinners can't stop their fac
tories nor the world stop using
cotton cloth without bringing ruin
and disaster.
It only requires systematic ef
fort with thorough organization
of all the cotton interests to throw
ofl' the evils which are a menace
and make the South the richest
and most prosperous section of the
world.
ORGANIZATION.
The plan is for all the farmers,
merchants, and hankers, both land
lords and tenants, to form a school
precinct cotton association, at each
schoolhouse in each county in the
southern states, elect a chairman
and secretary and a committee on
acreage.
KKIH OTION OK ACliKAUK.
The first step is a uniform re
duction of the cotton acreage in
[every school precinct in the south
ern states. Spasmodic efforts in
isolated cases will not avail.
A demoralization of the entire
South's prosperity is threatened.
Only by a united effort can suc
cess be achieved.
Notices have been sent to every
county in the southern states for
this purpose. Meetings have been
held, and every mail is bringing in
signed pledges by the farmers toi
an average reduction of ’J.'> pei
cent in tin* acreage to be planter!
this year.
Signed reports trom 1 exas, In
dian Territory, Oklahoma, Arkan
sas, Alabama, Louisiana, Missis
sippi and Georgia have recently
bet'n received 11 ]> to .January -O b \
National Secretary Oswald \\ il
son. Fort \\ ortb, l ex.
The work must be pushed unti
every farmer, merchant and bank
er has been pledged to a reductioi
of the cotton acreage. If you have
not held a meeting in your pro
cinct, hold it at once and have ev
ery farmer, landlord or tenant
white or black, sign a pledge t<
reduce his acreage from that plant
i ed last year, and appoint a com
mittee to visit every farmer, mer
chant and banker in your precinc
who is not present at the meetinj
and secure their pledge and sem
to National Secretary Oswald Wil
son. Fort Worth, Tex.
The president of the associatioi
is E. S. Peters, a prominent lam
owner and cotton planter, of Oil
vert, Tex. The other officers an
