JRGE FARMERS 'WORGANIZE 'reaiclent of Illinois Bankers' Assocla ' tlon Tells of Needs of Modern Agriculturist. The following Is an excerpt from n address by B. F. Harris, president f the Illinois Bankers' associa lon: In this country we hear the pro ests of the consumer and of the farm r, due to the pressure of organized nance and commerce, which would e largely reduced If agriculture was s well organized. Protest against Ig business Is Idle; we can only regu ite and control It. Such control, with equally effective rganlzatlon on the part of farmers, ill re-establish the balance between tie various factions and economic fac jrs of this country necessary to main ain our preeminence. In Europe, for instance, they devel ped combinations first In the country ar the general good, while we have rst developed combinations in the ity, not always for the general good, 'hey have helped themselves by help ig the farmer farm, while we have een more disposed to farm the farm r and many of his city cousins. Good roads are an economic neces lty und there is no occasion to labor he argument. The roads are an index f the character of any community, de ermining Its importance and limit fig or aiding Its advance, and a coun l j iuai ion t wunu a guuu iuuu ioij l r'orth what it sells for, and soon won't e worth living in. A few progressive tates alone are giving upward of 200.000,000 state road aid. The "recall" to the farm is what we rant, not simply back to the farm. iut back up the farm; for the real logan should be, "Forward to the arm," and make our rural pride at east equal our civic pride. The farm s the best place God ever planned in .'hich to live a broad, free, helpful, ef icient, serviceable and honorable hu nan life. Representative progressive eadership. abreast of the times, is roperty expected and will soon be emanded of every executive, and the ;ood citizen and banker must help ring thi9 to pass. Effort and money pent In this cause will be the most narvelous earning asset of a magnl Icent future, not in dollars only, but n a contented, successful people? onatituting an Industrial and agricul ural republic, peaceful and prosper us beyond compare and in political epose. Grass Experiment in South. Southern states need grass as well as corn and alfalfa and the lepartment of agriculture Is con lucting some grass experiments in 5outh Carolina, with 100 farmers help ng. One ton of lime per acre is used, rnd a mixture of 200- pounds of fine ?one and 200 pounds acid phosphate >er acre. This usual fertilizer appears to work rell on soils well supplied with pot ish. They use a combination of or hard grass, tall meadow oat grass ind Italian rye grass?with red clo ser. This promises to yield two and >ne half-tons or more per acre, and iuch a yield will greatly encouraee he dairy and live stock industry. Lambs for Breeding.

SELL DIRECT TO CONSUMER Farmer Will Come Into His Own When He Learns to Avoid Com mission Merchants and Mid dlemen. When the farmer learns to sell hlft products direct to the consumer and avoid commission merchants and mid dlemen, then he will come into his own. The profits made by middlemen nearly In every case exceed 100 per l cent; this added to what the farmer j I actually gets, would give him a fair j return for the products of the farm. j ' A load of peaches sold at a commla- , sion house the past summer for 20 ' cents a basket, was taken to the re tall market by the driver of the team j (the peaches were never unloaded) } and unloaded at> the purchaser's stall, j writes Royal O. Claget In the Success- | ful Farming. The writer priced the peaches while they were being unload- j ea rrom tne wagon ana naa (juiio ? nervous shock when the dealer said 75 cents. A profit of 275 per cent. The story of the farmer who sold a dressed hog to a meat dealer and i afterward wanted to buy the hams j and shoulders back and found that he would be Beveral dollars out, Is noth- i lng In comparison with the profits made by the middlemen on fruits and j vegetables. During the past summer the writer sold peaches at 15 cents a basket. > Wondering at the very low price, he i priced the same peaches through a . friend and found to his surprise that j they were selling at 15 cents for one- j quarter peck, a profit of 500 per cent This is not only truAof peaches, j but of all fruits and vegetables raised i on the farm. The following table j gives wholesale and retail prices ana profits made by middlemen: Apples?Wholesale price, 75 cents barrel; retail price, 5 cents quarter peck; profit, $1.65. 1 Corn?Wholesale price, 5 cent* dozen; retail price, 25 cents dozoa; profit, 20 cents. Potatoes?Wholesale price, F,0 cents bushel; retail price, 30 cents peck; profit, 70 cents. Cantaloupes?Wholesale price, 10 cents basket; retail price, 30 cents j basket; profit 20 cents.

Peaches?Wholesale price. 15 cents basket; retail price, 15 cents quarter peck; profit, 75 cents. .I Onions?Wholesale price, 65 cents bushel: retail price, 10 cents *4 peck; , prlflt, 95 cents.

Pickles?Wholesale price, 30 cents | hundred; retail price, 75 cents hun- j dred; profit. 45 cents. Yellow Tomatoes?Wholesale price, ; 15 cents basket; retail price, 5 cents % peck; profit, 15 cents. The wholesale prices in the list were taken from the wholesale mar ket and commission houses. The re- j tail prices were taken from the retail ; markets, and nearly in every case upon the same goods. Maui farmers are now awakening ' to the fact that they are being "done" by the middlemen and are es- j tablishing routes in the cities, selling 1 direct to the consumer and obtaining the highest prices possible. This is not only an advantage to the farmer but is more satisfactory to the con- i sumer, obtaining their fruits and veg- 1 etables, as well as poultry, eggs and ; butter, in the freshest possible condi- j tlon. wnen eggB were semng at zo cems , a dozen wholesale, farmers selling dl- | rect to consumers were getting 40 cents a dozen. This Is not only true of eggs. Increases of the same propor- ! tlon over wholesale prices were made on all of the products of the farm. i Another Important point to be con sidered Is to have all products of the farm put up In the cleanest and most ! ] attractive way. Fruits and vegetables put up In clean and attractive pack ages, bring from 25 to 50 per cent, over those which are packed in an Inferior way. j Then again, when selling through | , commission merchants you have to j take It for granted that they are hon- J est. When It comes down to a mat- j , ter of dollars and doughnuts you have to be very particular with whom you are dealing.^ j Good Investment. , Every dollar spent In buying needed equipment for the farm is an invest ment that the farmer should be glad to make. It Is the duty of every far mer to keep posted upon new Imple ments and whenever one is found that saves labor and brings returns, buy it for his farm. A man progres sive enough to look for needed equip- , ment seldom finds any difficulty in finding cash to buy it. Raise Chickens. By all means rai&e chickens. Two or three hundred with plenty of range can be raised to advantage at very small expense because anything needed for feed can be raised on the farm. Corn and wheat make a fine chicken feed and for winter cabbagei will add to the value of the ration.

FIVE COWS, A GIRL AND A BIG AUTO Romance of a Young Lawyer's Scorchless Scorch on a Highway. J-3SL* by ada nixon. I (Copyright, 1312, by Associated Literary Press.) Young Harold Imlay of Chester had graduated in law and been taken into partnership with his father. He was having what he called a little fling before settling down to the stern business of law, and he had an auto to help him out. The auto revolved around the country at various speeds, none of which was less than forty miles an hour. On a certain morning when It was taken out to scorch up the fllgnway it i refused to scorch. In fact, It "went dead." That's not f.o very rare a case. There Is a little something out of kilter and the man that knowB how can remedy it In a few minutes. The trouble to this case was that nobody In the village knew how. The clock 'inker, the blacksmith, the cobbler and the doctor all diagnosed and pre scribed, but without avail. Then a tin peddler came along and hopped off his wagon and fussed for a minute and hopped on again and drove offi The anto was now all right. The young lawyer offered free seats, but they were declined with thanks. It " *v.l. * ! Tr T-i rr Tha Ho. WtiaLI i LUUli u a J 1U1 Ujiiift. X uo cllners saw man and machine disap pear down the, highway like a cannon ball and feJi that It was good to be alive and have dinner coming to them. ?very few lawyers take any man's word for anything, and not one In ten would believe a peddler under oath. Young Imlay hadn't cut his legal eye teeth yet, and he fondly believed. He would have said to a Jury that the peddler could have no possible mo tive In lying to him, and the absence of a motive always raises a big doubt of the guilt of the accused. Perhaps the man did not knowingly lie. Per haps he thought a balky auto could be fixed as easily as a balky wheel barrow. At any rate, after a run of three miles, young Imlay discovered Realized That There Was a Mile-a Minute Pz:ce Before Him. that he was flying, and that the ma chine was beyond his control to stop. Five miles from where the auto started out and half an hour before it did start, a saddled pony was led around to the door of a manor house, and Miss Irene Galbraith mounted and galloped away. Something of an artist she was, and she had her sketch book with her. Two miles down the road she found her subject. Five cows which were running at lares contrary to the highway laws were standing in the middle of the dusty road with half-closed eyes and their tails lazily switching at the flies. They had arranged themselves as if for a photograph and the girl dismounted and got out her materials. "Honk! Honk! Honk!" Miss Galbraith had beard the sound a thousand times before, but there was a note in this to make her rise to her feet. That honk was a danger Bignal. Five rods down was the river. On the other side the highway ascended - <1~ J nom lux a nine, cinu at ita ticoi duc oan an auto. In ten seconds she made up her mind that It was a runaway ma chine. It honked at every fifty feet. Those blasts could only mean: "Look out?clear the road!" Young Imlay had put In the fastest half mile he ever expected to before eaching the crest of th^ hill, but he Instantly realized that there was a mile a minute pace before him. Straight down over the crazy old bridge, and? "Cows in the road!" he said to him self. That settled it. There must be a smashup. "And a girl there! Sh# must know I'm in trouble. If she's got good sense she'll scatter those cows and give me a clear road. If she does 911 ? 1 ? . IV /???? ?? Ill llJcli 1 J IltJI , II DliC UUC3 I1UL "Here you cows, get out of this!" cried the girl as she picked up a stick and ran forward and belabored them. The- surprised cows moved. They didn't hustle, but they didn't have to go far to clear the road. A long blast and a rumble, and the girl caught sight of a white but deter mined face through the haze of dust. That was simply one peril avoided. Further up the road others must be encountered. She threw aside her sketching and mounted her pony and set off in chase. Half a mile away the auto had plowed its way into a bank and was at rest. Young Imlay had been thrown out by the collision and suffered a broken leg. He was unconscious until some time after a doctor had looked him over at the manor house. No one knew who he was until his pockets had been searched, and then the lather was telephoned to. By the time he arrived the soil had gathered up the threads of the case and was ready to say to the jury: "No use talking, governor, I've got It bad!" "Anything beside the leg?" "My heart." "Why?why, I don't understand that the fall had affected your heart." "But It has. It's a case of love at first sight, and the first sight didn't last more'n half a second." "And where is the girl?" "Right here in the house. It was she who found me in the road and bossed the 1ob of srettine me here. Say, governor, she's a girl of sense I I haven't had a fair look at her face yet, but I know from her voice that she's good-looking. I'd have smashed up five cows as well as myself, and the machine if it hadn't been for the girl." "We must now get you home," said the father in very sober tones. "Can't be done, governor. Here I stay 'till the leg mends and I've got the promise of that girl to be m* wife." "Young man, this seems to have af fected' your brain." "It has affected me all over. Say, I governor, I'm a lawyer, am I not?" "A very young and tender one." "But I know what a breach-of-prom ise suit Is, and I don't propose to stand in the dock." "Harold Imlay, what can you mean?" "Governor, when I saw those cows blocking the narrow highway and realized what a butcher shop it would be if the girl didn't move them on, I vowed to marry her if she did the right thing. She did it, and I'll keepi my word." "Um! Um! I think I can arrange for you to be cared for here for a few days, but my boy, don't get any fool notions in your head. Remember that you are Just entering upon your career as a lawyer." It was three days later before the patient caught sight of Miss Irene. The doctor had said that It would bo better if the young man could remain there for a few days, and Mr. and Mrs. Golbraith had readily consented. A professional nurse had taken charge and the family was not to be put out to any extent. When the young man expressed his thanks In appropriate words he asked of the girl: "How many cows were there?" "Five." "And how fast was I going?" "It looked like two or three hundred miles a minute to me." "And if I'd struck that bunch of beef at that gait?" "Why?why?" "My father would have had a dead son to bury, wouldn't he?

Miss Irene thought the young man's mind was wandering and called the nurse. His mind was all there, how ever, though it was six long weeks and he was crutching around before he finished the sentence by saying: "Yes, you must see that having saved my life?and having been both ered with me here so long?and as this leg will be weak for some time to come?and as I have fallen in love with you?and as your father is in the library?and as I'm going to crutch in there and ask him?"

The rifles of colonial and Revolu tionary days would stagger the mod ern marksman at sight. Deckert, a famous Pennsylvania gunsmith of that time, made most of his rifles 64 inches long, with a heavy four-foot barrel. It took muscles of steel to aim such a weapon accurately. But to its owner such a rifle was often the most prized of all his earth ly possessions. He called It a pet name; he kept It oiled and cleaned to perfection; he gave it all the credit for his successful marksmanship. And largely he was right. For the traditional skill of the American rifle man depended in no small part on the skill that went into the making of his weapon, hand-made in some frontier gunsmith's cabin shop. For the long, heavy, slender, small bore rifle was distinctly an American jU.iAlAnmAMf! nn/1 If T\AQ /"?oH 4fa S*1 L U c: V CiUpiiiCli U , auu awo vt* max when about 1750 some genius of a rifleman hit upon the device of wrap ping the bullet in a greased bucksk'.n patch to make it fit the bore tight. It was in no small part through the marksmanship attainable by such weapons in the hands of the New Englanders that Louisburg fell; it was the accurate rifle fire of the Pennsyl vanlans and the southern riflemen un der Morgan that cut down the ad vancing French on the Plains of Abra ham; and, in the Revolution it&elf, it was confidence in the superiority of their weapons that aided the Ameri cans to cut off Burgoyne in New York state and Ferguson at King's Moun tain in South Carolina. The colonists were the greatest weapoc-uslng people in the world of that epoch. On his rifle the hunter, the pioneer and the settler depended for food, for protection against beast and savage, and for offense in time of war. And the necessity for the best produced the best, something that the owner prized next after his wife and children. Body Shields for Policemen. The Electrometallurgic society, which has its factory at Neuchatel, has received an order to construct a certain number of body shields (buck lers) for the police of Paris. Theie shields, the invention of a Swiss named Paul Girod of Xeuchatel, have been tested, and are said to have suc cessfully resisted revolver shots.? Geneva Correspondence London Stan dard.

In the beginning of the eighteenth | century the Palais Royal was a sort I of open-air club where people dis cussed the happenings-of Europe and : of Paris from world politics to pri vate Intrigues, big things and little; the Versailles and the opera; the side lights of history and the history of sidelights. When the Duke d'Orleans of that day?crushed with debts?suppressed a part of the famous garden to estab lish shops, the shopkeepers made a fortune. The Orleans family opened i the garden to the bourgeoisie, and j the latter opened access for the Or leans family to the throne from which ! Louis Philippe fell for having trusted , the bourgeoisie too much. The Palais Royal is remembered as the place where Richelieu died, where Anne of Austria saw the throne of young Louis XTV. threatened, where ! the bogus financier, the Scotchman i Law, sought an aBylum, where Phil ! ippe Egalite after having voted ! for the death of Louis XVI. had to 1 stand for an hour before his own head was cut off.

Sn Francisco.?There is a detective j In Chicago who was invited to dinner as a guest of Sheriff Barnett of Ala meda county, across the bay from this city, and under the mellowing influ- i ence of the occasion became some- j what boastful of his shrewdness. Thereupon Barnett abstracted from the Chicago man's pockets a watch and all the money there was in them. Later in the evening Barnett turned over the articles to the detective's companion, who was one of the party, and explained the matter to him. Now Barnett displays with much [ glee the following letter from Chi- j j cago: I "I, the greatest detective of Chi cago, am disgraced and humiliated. I ! The thought that I have sleuthed j j through the most dangerous places in I rhirntrn and New York and other : j wicked cities of the east, should travel ! across the continent to have my pock- j ! ets picked by the sheriff of Alameda j county, is so disturbing that I am be- i ing treated for insomnia by my physi* j clans."
