Managing a Husband.
Men are like children; they want
managing, although you must never
let thorn dream that you think so. No
child likes to be ordered about, no
man will endure coercion. But man
aging! It is an art so subtle, so elu
*lve. that few women understand even
the rudiments of it. Sisters mine, let
us reason together, says Woman’s
Life. In every human being there is
a spark of ttie divine; it is yours to
lan that spark into a flame —that is
managing a man—it is to get the very
best out of him there is to have, and
Dot two women in ten can do it.
Do not think that there is anything
unworthy in managing a man—to
bring out the best is a high vocation.
Only let us see to it that we are
worthy of it. There are women who
ha ve made angels of men, but at the
cost of their own divinity. There is
room for more than on - unselfish per
son in a famllv.

No man wins lasting success by

We cannot cure the sorrows of our

SECURING SYSTEM ON FARMS.
Organization of Farming Class and
Co-operative Methods Will Give
Farmer His Own.
It Is only by organizing the farming
class of people and by a co-operative
move with all laboring classes from
small to large enterprises, is our only
relief, and a move of that kind would
not be Impracticable, and It does seem
to me that it would be high time for
readjustment, and the progressive ele
ment of the farming people of this
country will take up the cause. In a
way to accomplish good and substan
tial results. We are divided, unor
ganized, we have no way to do busi
ness with the organized element,
writes C. W. Junken in Co-operator.
The call for the farmer’s organization
is at hand, and seems very much a
necessity. In order to bring about a
relation that would make us more co
operative and bring us to a better un
derstanding with ail other enterprises,
such as manufacturers and the rail
road enterprises.
We as a farming and laboring class
are producing the wealth of the coun
try and no debt can be paid unless
the wealth of the debt had been pro
duced some way, either on the farm
or out of the mine. It Is plain to me
we are the first owners of all luxuries
of life, and must produce sufficient to
keep all other enterprises moving and
prosperous.
Now why are we deprived of our
most necessary of privileges, such as
making our homes comfortable and
having time to send our children to
school in the country? It Is simply
for the lack of organizing and taking
more interest to get relief.
We furnish the freight to the rail
road, we furnish the material for
bread and clothing, now why not have
a way to become Independent and get
a system on foot to live at home?
Let us produce what we need at
home for a living, and grind our flour
for bread, and manufacture our own
cloth out of our own raw material in
our own mills, and keep out of debt,
and thereby become able to have a
system on the farm that would en
able us to demand a living profit on
our surplus products that some other
country must have or can’t produce.
The farmer should carefully take into
consideration who is depending on
his welfare. The merchant, the bank
er. the railroad and every other en
terprise is depending on the prosper
ity of production of agriculture and
mining. Let this wealth-producing
business cease, and you have clogged
the wheel that circulates and moves
the business of the world.
Let us have a system on the farm
is my desire.

ADVANCE MONEY ON COTTON
Texas Commissioner of Insurance and
Banking Makes Ruling of Much
Importance to Farmers.
|
The commissioner of insurance and
banking of the state of Texas recently
made a ruling on advancing money for
the handling of the cotton crop, which
Is of great Importance to all classes of
people of that state, especially the
farmers. It is as follows:
The farmers being interested along
j with all other classes of citizens of the
| state, the ruling of the commissioner
of Insurance and banking who has
again notified all state banks of the
ruling made last year relative to hand
ling the cotton crop which is now
coming on the market, will be of im
portance to them at this time. The com
missioner is sending out the follow
ing:
“Section 69 of the state banking
! laws, digest of 1909, reads as fol
lows:
” ‘All state banks and trust com
panies shall be permitted to loan or
discount commercial or business paper
secured by lien upon cotton and cotton
seed products to the same extent and
upon the same conditions as is now or
may be provided for national banks
under the laws of the United States.’
"In a letter to a state banker mak
ing Inquiry upon the subject, the com
missioner of insurance and banking
ruled that, in view of this provision of
the new law, which became effective
August 9, 1909, state banks and trust
companies may make advances to any
one person, firm or corporation upon
the security of cotton and cotton seed
products in excess of 25 per cent, of
the capital stock of the bank or trust
company In either of the following
ways:
“1. A bank or trust company may
dlsount or cash drafts drawn by the
seller of cotton or cotton seed prod
ucts on the purchasers thereof for the
purchase price, such drafts having at
tached thereto bills of lading of ware
house receipts for the commodity pur
chased. These drafts may be carried
in this way during the time the com
modity is being compressed, or assem
bled or stored for shipment, or until
It Is sold a second time and the or
iginal buyer has authority to draw an
other draft against the new purchaser.
This second draft may then be carried
by the bank or trust company in lieu
of the first draft Issued until paid by
the purchaser and the transaction
closed. Advances made in this way
must be by the discount of drafts
drawn by a seller against a buyer.
”2. A bank or trust aompany may
also discount notes given by the pur
chaser of cotton and cotton seed prod
ucts to the seller for the purchase price
thereof; that is, a buyer desiring to se
cure an advance In excess of the loan
limit to be used in purchasing cotton
or cotton seed products may give his
notes in payment for the commodities
to the persons from whom they are pur
chased, and such notes may be dis
counted for the sellers, when endorsed
by them and accompanied by ware
house receipts assigned to the bank or
trust company.
"This ruling Is based upon a letter
received from the comptroller of cur
rency construing the national banking
law bearing on the subject, and all
the state banks and trust companies
have been notified of the ruling by cir
cular letter.”
CORN IN SOUTHERN STATES.
Increase of 1,535,000 Acres in Eight
States Over Area Devoted to
Cereal in 1909.
In this ripe year of 1910 there is
growing a corn crop of 26,277,000
acres in the eight Southern states of
Virginia, the Carolinas. Georgia, Ken
tucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Mis
sissippi, which is an increase of
1,535,000 acres over the area devoted
to'that cereal in that territory in 1909.
This is an encouraging sign, and if
persisted in and the system of in
tensive culture shall be adopted gen
erally, as it is particularly in the
states named, the cost of living will
be materially reduced —if the people
are strong enough to take by the
throat monopoly and force it to put
up with a reasonable profit, says
Washington Post.
The South is as good a corn coun
try as the West. The greatest yield
per acre of that grain ever recorded
was grown on a South Carolina farm,
and it is an established fact that last
year Farmer Batts, a young man of
30, tilling the soil within 13 miles of
Raleigh. N. C., gathered a crop of
corn the yield of which was the enor
mous quantity of 225 bushels per acre,
whereas the average of the country
over is only 26 bushels. This story
of the yield on Mr. Batts' plantation
would be incredible If it were not
established by testimony above chal
lenge.
Care in Gathering Fruit.
Fruit should be gathered with the
same care that melons are plucked
from the vines. Leave all unripe fruit
to be gathered later, even if this does
necessitate going over the tree again.
This will cause the late crop to in
crease in size and flavor.
Prevention of Rickets.
Stop feeding corn to pregnant and
nursing sows and to young pigs and
there will be little. If any, trouble
from this form of paralysis, which is
associated with rickets. It comes from
overfeeding heating and fattening
foods, and giving too little bone-build-,
ing material.
ONLY COOL PLACE.
Through the sultry summer night
there came mysterious sounds from
the direction of the kitchen.
"George,” whispered Mrs. MacDou
gal, nervously, “there —there is a bur
glar in the Ice box."
Still George snored.
"George! Do you hear? Wake up!
There is a burglar downstairs in the
ice box.”
George brushed imaginary cobwebs
from bis eyes.
"Burglar in the ice box,” he mur
mured. thickly. "Thermometer pop
ping out of tube and burglar In ice
box. Lucky dog!”
And then George expressed himself
with an old-fashioned yawn and turned
over for another nap.

WASTED A FORTUNE ON SKIN
TROUBLE
"I began to have an itching over my
whole body about seven years ago and
this settled in my limbs, from the knee
to the toes. I went to see a great many
physicians, a matter which cost me a
fortune, and after I noticed that I did
not get any relief that way, I went for
three years to the hospital. But they
were unable to help me there, I used
all the medicines that I could see but
became worse and worse. I had an
inflammation which made me almost
crazy with pain. When I showed my
foot to my friends they would get
really frightened. I did not know
what to do. I was so sick and had be
come so nervous that I positively lost
all hope.
“I had seen the advertisement of
the Cuticura Remedies a great many
times, but could not make up my mind
to buy them, for I had already used so
many medicines. Finally I did decide
to use the Cuticura Remedies and I
tell you that I was never so pleased as
when I noticed that, after having used
two sets of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Pills, the en
tire inflammation had gone. I was
completely cured. I should be only
too glad If people with similar disease
would come to me and find out the
truth. I would only recommend them
to use Ci’ticura. Mrs. Bertha Sachs,
