Could keep nothing on iny stomach,

even liquid food and I almost despaired
of getting well as I had tried so many

When you get busy fixing up tho
farm so that It will be handy for your-
self, don't forget that there are several
other meiiibers of the family, and that
they are entitled to some of the com*
forts of civilized life. Fix it up for all
the family.
slons should be taken advantage of by
every farmer to "get together," swap
yarns, brag on his wife and children
and have all the fun that can be crowd-
ed into the day.
Don't want to make anybody feel bad
through early anticipation, but it Is an
indubitable fact that it will soon be
time to get ready for the cotton patch.
How are you hooked up for that time?
Better get hooked up In advance so
that you won't have to waste any good
time at the crucial moment.
Say, you cotton fellows, who are go-
tag to go to Dallas to attend the cotton
school commencing July 9, you want to
hurry up and make your arrangements.
It looks now like the attendance will
be first rate. The tlmo lias arrived for
the farmer to do his own classifying,
and he is going to do that very thing.

As matters now stand, there Is no
law against Secretary Wilson or any
other official or employe of tho govern-
ment selling to the speculators any
crop Information he may have come in
possession of by reason of his connec-
tion with the government service. Well,
so far as cotton is concerned, whenev-
er the farmers do tholr own estimating,
get tholr own prices and sell direct to
tho manufacturers and to nobody else,
then tho Government and its rascals
will be out of a Job along this line, for
there will be no demand for their In-
formation. Their secrets won't be
worth peddling.—Farmers' Journal.

Canning corn and beans Is simply
chllds play, If you are sorter fixed up
for It. Wbere you haven't any fruit,
and may the good Lord be awful len-
ient with you if you haven't, there la
no reason on earth for not having plen-
ty of corn, beans, etc. The best way
to take care of okra is to cut it into
small pieces and dry It in the old-fash-
ioned way that.our good mother's dried
apples. It retains all its flavor and val-
ue. It has to be kept In a dry place,
however, or It will spoil even after it
Is bone dry.

What a great convenience is the ru-
ral telephone! They are now to be
found in nearly all the farm houses In
many portions of the country. The
building of rural telephones should bo
encouraged by our people. With a tel-
ephone in your house it places you in
direct communication with tho outside
world, and makes a home in the coun-
try much less lonely. While at Dyers-
burg last Friday, the brethren thought
they would have me speak at night flva
miles north of the city, and by means
of the telephone alone, they brought to-
gether one of the largest crowds we
have ever seen In the country any*
where. It was all done in a very little
while. We could but think what a
great country we will have when all
the farmers, under Just conditions
which are to be, own beautiful homes,
and are In communication with the
whole world! What a great day of
progress this is! Let us keep up with
tho procession.—National Co-Operator.
It's easy to understand how ordi-
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
tho facts.
A physician speaks of his own ex-
perience:
"I had used cofTeo for years and
really did not exactly believe it was
injuring me although I had palpita-
tion of the heart every day.
"Finally one day a severe and al-
most fatal attack of heart trouble
frightened me and I gave up both
tea and coffee, using Postum instead
and since that time I have had ab-
solutely no heart palpitation except
on one or two occasions when I tried
a small quantity of coffee which
caused severe irritation and proved
to me I must let It alone.
"When we began using Postum it
seemed weak—that was because we
did not make it according to direc-
tions—but now we put a little bit of
butter In tho pot when boiling and
allow the Postum to boil full 15 min-
utes which gives it the p oper rich
flavor and the deep brown color.
"I have advised a great many of
my friends nnd patients to leave off
coffee and drink Postum, in fact I
daily give this advice." Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Many thousands of physicians use
Postum in place of tea and coffee In
their own homes end prescribe it to
patients. "There's a reason."

Road to Wellville," can be found in
With the approach of the summer
season Farmors Union plcnlea will be
"all the go." In the early part of July 1
the demand for speakers will bo ten-
fold greater than the supply. Our
State officers are not ubiquitous—no
man can be In several different sections
of the State at one and the same time.
An itinerary—or several roates—
should be mapped out which would en-
able speakers to attend a regular series
of places, at reasonable distances, so
as to necessitate the minimum of trav-
el and expense. Apropos of thi3, Bro.
J. C. Strlbling, of South Carolina, says:
"It is now time to begin a regular order
of farmers' meetings for the' advance
ment of the organization during the
time between the laying by of crops and
gathering time. These public meet-
ings or rally days of farmors, if freed
from obnoxious political schemes, does
a great, good thing by bringing the
farmors together to discuss the things
of prime Interest to all farmers. Just
here we wish to remind the Union that
It is not a good plan to have too many
speakers at these meetings to talk
on the same subjects for the following
reasons: When you get a speaker
from a distance you should bear his
expenses, and again do not get a man
to speak upon any subject unless you
can get a good one, and give him his
time to tell what he knows about the (
subject In hand. If you can have a
speaker to go to your meetings that
knows something about what he is to
talk about, it will not take him long
to tell It, while it usually takes some
men a long time talking trying to make
the people believe that he does know
something about his subject, when in
reality he knows but little or nothing
new to tell you."—Mercury-Password.
THEY ARE GETTING OVER THAT.
A move is on foot to close window
glass factories for the purpose of re-
stricting the output. If farmers were
making window glass as a "side
line," and the supply were so great
that it could not be sold at profitable
prices, there are numbers of "farm pa-
pers" that would offer to remedy the
situation by enlightening the farmers
on the best ways to increase the out-
put. In other words, the remedy of
these papers for too much window
glass would be more window glass.
Somebody has said that the remedy for
the evils of liberty is more liberty.
That may work all right, but it won't
do for window glass and cotton.—Farm,

classed above middling? ^et there
are two grades—good middling and

fourth to one-half cent above.

This is a great day for progress. The
producers must keep up with the pro-
cession.
The time has passed for the produc-
ers to ask that things be done for
them. They must do it for themselves.
Make a demand on themselves for it
to be done and it will bo done.
Tho producers must protect them-
solvee. The other fellow will not pro-
tect us.
There Is no real happiness except In
making others happy. I et us always
remember the Golden Riue.
With all of us thinking tho same
thoughts and all of us pulling for the
same shore, we can but succeed.
There is no over-production when
many of us have no shirts. Lot's make
coni'.r.loiis such that wo may all have
shirts.
Banish all selfish ambition. Go to
work in earnest for the most righteous
cause in which man has ever been en-
gaged.
It is a revolution, a peaceful revolu-
tion. The swords are Indeed to be
turned into plough shares and pruning
hooks.
The producers of one section must
not organize against the producers of
another section. It must be a mutual
arrangement. We want Justice, Equity

It has been remarked that th«
American people consume more paint,
both in the aggregate and per capita,
than any other people in the woi id.
In a recently published article on the
1 subject it was figured that our yearly
consumption is over 100,000,000 gal-
lons of paints of all kinds, of which
cjver one-half is used in the paintings
of houses.
j The reason for this great consump- j
: tion is twofold: a large proportion
| of our buildings, especially In small
1 towns and rural districts, are con- j
1 structed of wood, and we, as a people,
are given to neatness and cleanliness !
For, take it all in all, there is noth-
ing so cleanly or so sanitary as paint.
Travel where we will throughout
I the country, everywhere we find the
neat, cheerful painted dwelling, pro
claiming at once the prosperity and
the self-respect of our population.
Fifty years ago this was not so;
painted dwellings, while common in
the larger cities and towns, were the
exception in the rural districts; be-
cause, on the one hand, a large pro-
portion of those buildings were tem-
porary makeshifts, and, on the other
hand, because paint was then a lux-
ury, expensive and difficult to obtain
in the out-of-the-way places, and re-
quiring special knowledge and much
preparation to fit it for use.
The introduction of ready mixed or
prepared paints, about 1860, changed
the entire aspect of affairs. As the
Jack-of-all-trades told the Walking
Delegate in one of Octave Thanet's
stories, "Anyone can slather paint."
The insurmountable difficulty with
our predecessors was to get the paint
ready for "slathering." That the
country was ready for paint in a con-
venient, popular form is shown by
the immediate success of the indus-
try and its phenomenal growth in
B0 years from nothing to 60,000,000
gallons—the estimated output for
1900.
Some pretty severe things have
been written about and said against
this class of paints, especially by
painters and manufacturers of cer-
tain kinds of paste paints. Doubtless
in many instances these strictures
have been justified and some fearful-
ly and wonderfully constructed mix-
tures have in the past been worked
off on the guileless consumer in the
shape of prepared paint. But such
products have had their short day
and quickly disappeared, and the too-
enterprising manufacturers that pro-
duced them have come to grief in
the bankruptcy courts or have
learned by costly experience that
honesty is the best policy and have
reformed their ways.
The chief exceptions to this rule
are some mail order houses who sell
direct to the country trade, at a very
low price—frequently below the
wholesale price of linseed oil. The
buyer of such goods, like the buyer
of a "gold brick," has only himself to
blame if he finds his purchase worth-
less. With gold selling at any bank
or mint at a fixed price, owners of
gold do not sell it at a discount; and
with linseed oil quoted everywhere
at 50 to 70 cents a gallon, manufac-
turers do not sell a pure linseed oil
paint at 30 or 40 cents a gallon.
The composition of prepared paints
differs because paint experts have
not yet agreed as to the best pig-
ments and because the dally results
of tests on a large scale are constant-
ly improving the formulas of manu-
facturers; but all have come to the
conclusion that the essentials of good
paint are pure linseed oil, fine grind-
ing and thorough incorporation, and
in these particulars all the products
of reputable manufacturers corre-
spond; all first-class prepared paints
are thoroughly mixed and ground and
the liquid base is almost exclusively
pure linseed oil, the necessary vola-
tile "thinners" and Japan dryers.
The painter's opposition to suck
products is based largely on self-in-
terest. He wants to mix the paint
himself and to be paid for doing it,
and to a certain class of painters it
is no recommendation for a paint te
say that it will last five or ten years.
The longer a paint lasts tho longer
he will have to wait for the job of
repainting. The latter consideration
has no weight with the consumer,
and the former is a false idea of
economy. Hand labor can never be
as cheap or as efficient as machine
work, and every time the painter
mixes paint, did he but know it, ke
Is losing money, because he can buy
a better paint than he can mix at
less than it costs him to mix It.
Prepared paints have won, not only
on their actual merits, but on their
convenience and economy. They are
comparatively cheap and they are is
comparably handy. But when all is
said, the experienced painter Is the
proper person to apply oven a ready
mixed paint He knows better than
anyone else the "when" and "how"
and the difference between painting
and "slathering" la much greater
than it appears to a novice. Every-
one to his trade, nnd after all paint-
ing is the painter's trade nnd not the
householder's.
BELIEF THAT STATEHOOD MAY
BECOME EFFECTIVE ' BEFORE
JULY 1, 1907,
GOVERNOR TO CALL CONVENTION EARLY
districting Boards May Conclude
Work in Two Months—Constitu-
tional Convention Will Meet In No-
vember or December
WASHINGTON: Territorial Secre-
tary Filsou, who is here to see the
auditor of the secretary of state about,
the financial details in regard to the
forthcoming territorial constitutional
convention,- says that the territorial
republican executive committee will be
! nailed to meet shortly after his return
to Oklahoma. ^
i It is now said that President Roose-
velt will designate Judges Clayton ana
Gill ins )ad of Clayton and Townsend
! as members of the board for the dis-
: tricting of the Indian Territory.
It is thought that the districting
board will complete Its work within
two months instead of six and tha^
! the constitutional convention will meet
in November and December, which
I would throw the general election in
February and bring Oklahoma into
full statehood before April 1.
! WASHINGTON: It is understood
that Governor Frantz will let no grass
I grow under his feet in the matter of
consummating statehood, and that he
' will immediately issue the call tor the
! election of delegates, the convention to
be held in August. The constitution
will be ready for the people at the
November elections. O11 the following
Fourth of July the forty-sixth star
will be added to the flag.
' Now that statehood is assured for
Oklahoma and Indian Territorv. the
1 question arises as to just where the
j new star will go on the flag. Its posi-
tion is of much moment, notwithstand-
j ing the fact that soon after it takes
' its place in the field, few persons will
be able to pick out Oklahoma's from
! that of any other state in the Union.
Arthur Copeland, the local flag-
maker, who makes many flags for the
■ government, was asked just where he
proposed to put the new state. Mr.
' Copeland stated that the position
; would have to be determined bv the
government, and his work in adding
the new star would be according to
instructions.
Five spaces were provided on the
flag, one for each territory, in the
event they should some dav become
states. Joint statehood for Oklahoma
and Indian Territory has made one
space unnecessary.
But the question of position is one
which will not bother either the gov-
ernment or Copeland for some time
yet, as the star cannot be placed on
the flag until the Fourth of Julv fol-
lowing the formation and ratiflcatiin
of a constitution, which is vet to be
done by the people of a new state.
The governor of Oklahoma wll call
an election for delegates to a conven-
tion within six months after the sign-
ing of the bill creating the new state.
At the convention a constitution will
be drawn up and submitted to the peo-
ple for ratification. When the consti-
tution is ratified, the president of the
United States will issue a proclama-
tion declaring Oklahoma a member of
the sisterhood of states.
It is understood that tho governor
will immediately Issue his call.

lations
GUTHRIE: In reply to the tele-
gram sent to Governor Frantz. of Ok-
lahoma, by Senator Reveridge. of In-
