TO GO TOFARMERS
SENATOR BORAH HAS BILL FOR
A NATIONAL FARM CLEAR-
ING HOUSE.
PUT MIDDLEMAN OUT OF BUSINESS
Farmer Writes Measure That Startles
Senate—Claims Trusts Have Done
More Good Than Government
Because They Put End to
Competition.
Washington, Jan. 19.—Cooperation
among the farmers instead of competi-
tion, that "the farmer may receive the
whole of the consumer's dollar for his
product instead of 35 to 45 per- cent,
as is now the case," is the aim of a bill
introduced today by Senator Borah to
create an "agricultural capital," or
clearing house to be run by the farm-
ers under government charter or sub-
sidy.
The bill would furnish machinery
for scientific marketing and standard-
ization of farm products under direc-
tion of a country-wide organization
of producers irrespective of any gov-
ernment and unade the declaration
that the "big trusts" had done more
good for the public than the govern-
ment.
Asserting that "competition Is the
mother of waste," Rettig said, "tHe law
of business success is cooperation.'
"Think of the stupidity of our na-
tional government," he continued, "en-
couraging its citizens to produce
wealth, and after it has been pro-
duced, insisting on these same citi-
zens contesting against each other for
the possession of the things they have
produced.
BLOCK SUFFRAGE IN HOUSE.
Rules Committee Refuses to Urge
Committee on Votes for Women.
Washington, Jan. 19—The decision
of the majority members of the house
rules committee today against the cre-
ation of a standing committee of the
house on woman suffrage, landed like
a bomb shell in the ranks of national
suffrage leaders gathered here. Both
the congressional committee of the Na-
tional American Woman Suffrage as-
sociation and the Congressional Union
for Woman Suffrage have been press-
ing the matter, but a radical differ-
ence of opinion between the organiza-
tions was indicated by the comments
tonight.
The congressional union, at a meet-
ing hurriedly called, adopted unani-
mously a resolution declaring that the
meeting "regarded with indignation"
the action of the Democratic members
of the rules committee In refusing to
create a committee to consider "the
justice and expediency of extending
self governing institutions to women."
Mrs. Antoinette Funk, lobby member
of the sufrfage association, took ex-
ception to the attitude of the union. "1
am fearful lest the avowed policy of
the union to strike at the Democratic
party as a whole," she said, "and to
make war on Democratic members re-
gardless of the friendliness or un-
friendliness of their willingness to vote
for or against suffrage legislation,
may have contributed to this most
regrettable situation. It is the in-
tention of our committee to remain
entirely nonpartisan and to support at
primaries and elections such national
officers as show a friendly disposition
toward us, and never to oppose any
candidate unless he has ignored a well
defined sentiment for suffrage among
his constituents."
"We will then be able at least,' she
said, "to put the blame where it be-
longs."
Boy Racers Into Ditch.
Oklahoma City, Jan. 19.—In sustain-
ing a motion to quash the indictments
^ charging perjury against Leo Myer,
1 * former state auditor, Judge E. D. Old-
field of the superior court, Saturday
held that the grand jury empanelled iu
April, 1913, was irregularly and ille-
gally drawn and that its charges
against Myer could not be prosecuted.
The same grand jury returned an ac-
cusation against Dr. J. C. Mahr, state
commissioner of health, and indict-
ments charging misconduct in office
against Perry A. Ballard, former In-
surance commissioner; J. D. Ballard,
former deputy auditor; Giles Farris,
former state printer; Hugh Gerner,
former deputy examiner and inspector,
and L. G. Xiblaek and Henry Derwln,
publisher and business manager of the
Guthrie Leader. The cases against
Mahr, P. A. Ballard. J. D. Ballard and
Gerner went to trial and all of them
were acquitted. The indictments
against Xiblaek and Derwin were
quashed, but new cases were filed on
information. The Farris case is still

THE MAYOR SAYS:
In His Home No Other Remedy
So Effective for Colds as Pe-
runa.
MAYOR B. 3. IRVIN.
Washington, Georgia.
"I herewith reiterate my commen-
dation of Peruna. It certainly haa
benefited our daughter in every In-
stance when she was suffering from
cold. I have frequently used Peruna
In my family and have found it an
excellent remedy for colds and also aa
a tonic. I often recommend It to my
friends. Peruna seems to be Indis-
pensable in my family, as no other
remedy haa been so effective In cases
of cold."
EVERY FAMILY wishing to be
protected from cold should have Pe-
runa In the house constantly. Also a

Further Use of Radium.
According to recent experiments in
Europe radium is instrumental in pre-
venting diseases of plants. For sev-
eral years workers in agronomic sci-
ence have been experimenting upon
the effect of radium on vegetation by
mixing radio-active substances with
the usual fertilizers. The numerous
results obtained in this work show
that most plants, either grain or flow-
er, are remarkably stimulated and
give a better yield both in size and
quality, this being often seen in the
fine and healthy color of the green
plants or leaves. The same plants are
in better condition to resist attacks
from various sources of disease, espe-
cially diseases known as cryptogamic,
which arise from spores or mold. It
seeme that radium is to act as a pre-
ventive for such diseases as wheat
rust, rotting of potatoes, grapevine
mildew and many others which cause
such detriment to agriculture.
DIZZY, HEADACHY,
Gently cleanse your liver and
sluggish bowels while
you sleep.
Get a 10-cent box.
Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi-
ness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath—always trace them to torpid
liver; delayed, fermenting food in the
bowels or eour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the In-
testines, instead of being cast out
of the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con-
gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick-
ening headache.
Cascareta immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret to-night will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you 6leep—a 10-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels regular for months. Adv.

"Did you notice the great quantity
of diamonds Anna is wearing?"
"Yes. She said her father blew
himself for them."
"He probably did. Her father is a
glassblower, I understand."—Judge.

HELD REPROOF IN MEMORY
Chiding to Child, That Seemed
kind, Later Nerved Man to
Deed of Heroism.
Un-
Dr. Keate, the terrible head master
of Eton, encountered one winfer
morning a small boy crying miser-
ably, and asked him what was the
matter. The child replied that he
was cold. "Cold!" roared Keate. "You
must put up with cold, sir! You are
not at a girls' school."
It is a horrid anecdote, and I am
kind-hearted enough to wish that Dr.
Keate, who was not without his gen-
ial moods, had taken the lad to some
generous Are (presuming such a thing
was to be found) and had warmed his
frozen hands and feet. But it so
chanced that in that little sniveling
boy there lurked a spark of pride and
a spark of fun, and both ignited at
the rough touch of the master. He
probably stopped crying, and he cer-
tainly remembered the sharp appeal
to manhood; for fifteen years later,
with the Third dragoons, he charged
at the strongly Intrenched Sikhs
(30,000 of the best fighting men of
the Khalsa) on the curving banks of
the Sutlej. And as the word was giv-
en he turned to his superior officer,
a fellow Stonian who was scanning
the stout walls and the belching guns.
"As old Keate would say, this is no
girls' school," he chuckled, and rode
to his death on-the battlefield of So-
braon, which gave Lahore to Eng-
land.—Agnes Repplier, in the Atlantic.
Hard to Pad.
Not long ago a cub reporter on one
of the large dailies was assigned by
the city editor to cover a meeting of
the board of trustees of a public li-
brary.
"Bring a story of about 400 words,"
said the editor.
At a late hour that, night this story
not being forthcoming, the youngster
was sent for.
"How about that story of the board
meeting?" asked the editor.
"It isn't finished yet. You told me
to make 400 words of it. So far I have
managed to get only 300."
"What did the board do?"
"They met, called the roll and ad-
journed until Tuesday evening."—Lip-
pincott's.
Overheard.
"Katherine has such a taking way."
"I wish she had a way of bringing
back."

SCORED ON HIS LORDSHIP
Father O'Leary's Apt Remark Put the
Situation in a Good Case,
So to Speak.
Rev. Father O'Leary was off to
catch the Dublin express. On the way
to the station he ran Into his bishop.
"Well, what's the hurry, O'Leary?"
said he.
"Sure, it's the Dublin express I'm
after, your lordship."
The bishop pulled out his watch.
"Well, there are seven minutes yet;
let us walk together and both catch
it."
They arrived at the station just in
time to see the train steaming out.
"Do you know, I had the greatest
faith in that watch, O'Leary," said the
bishop.
"Ah! my lord, what Is faith without
good works?" replied the angry
O'Leary.
Undivided Attention Demanded.
Not giving your whole undivided at-
tention to the task in which you have
Invested your life and money, means
that you are wasting your own preci-
ous time and that of others. What-
ever you do, do it with your whole
heart and mind or get out and try
something else. It takes pretty nearly
all of a man's time to perfect an un-
dertaking provided it be a big and
worthy one to begin with.
We are told that experience is the
best teacher—yet some fool men are
bigamists.
