If a few people who know nothing
about cotton can successfully operate

The great Rio Grande Woolen Mills
Company is a success. Why not let
us build a great cotton factory and
compress?
In Europe most of the great spin-
ning mills are owned by the laboring
people. They put up their own money,
build their mills and operate them on
borrowed capital.

It Is about time that tho Idiotic

Do not for a moment forget that
the purpose of the Union is to co-op-
prate and educate. When other things

aot but result in harm. The wily pol

and we will have a capital stock paid
in of $2,000,000! Enough to build and
equip a large mill.
Now, let us get tho one hundred
thousand club. We can get stockhold-
ers from one end of the country to
the other. It' we go about it right we
can raise ten million dollars instead
of two millions. We could run our
mill, manufacture our own cotton and
then be our own customers!

they all get that way sometimes, can
hardly restrain himself when he reaus
of the progress of the order in the
newly oganized States.
The Completed Hood.
with the prisms in such a way as to
exclude all light from the camera ex-
cept that which passes through the
face of the prisms. The inner surface
of this hood must be dull black. The
paper which comes around plates an-
swers nicely. If the ring which slips
over the lens mount is lined with
black velvet, it will exclude all light
and hold firmly to the mount.
Place over lens, stop down well
after focusing and proceed as for anv
picture.
It Is the duty ot' the Union to see
to it so far as is practical that every
member has a reputation that needs
110 bond. Manhood is the prime mat-
ter in this life after all.
If ever you were a friend you will
be able to keep quiet as to the weak-
nesses of your old friends, to remem-
ber that confidences given you when
you were close together are to be re-
spected more than ever now.
Wages in Great Britain.
Wages in Great Britain average
much higher than on the continent,
and in France and Germany wages are
higher than in Italy, Spain, or Austria.
The district court at Carlsbad, Austria,
recently fixed the daily wages of lab-
orers of both sexes for the years 1907,
1908 and 1909, as follows: Males, fore-
men, 60 cents per day, others 40 cents,
and apprentices and boys, 20 cents.
Females, women, 28 cents and juve-
niles, 18 cents. Servants of the state,
48 cents, except servants of the post
and telegraph, who receive 44 cents.
Costly dutlay in Cable.
There are said to be at present 250,-
000 miles of cable in aff at the bottom
of the sea, representing 1250,000,000.
This works out at about $1,000 per
mile to iftake and lay.

Result of Persistent Action
Small Force.
period of time will show the cork
slowly lifting through the sticky te-
nacious mass, owing to the power of
displacement, the cork being much
lighter, than the wax. This slow but
sure action is analogous toJ;hat of the
mighty mountain glacier which will
y ield to the gentlest force* operating
continually and in time it will be ob-
served to follow the directum of a very
slight pressure. It may take months
or years to produce an appreciable ef-
fect, but the effect will surely follow.
In the case of the mushroom growing
through the asphalt, the pressure ex-
erted by the growth of the fungus is
extremely slight, but it is persistent

Bronze Varnish for Leather.
Ten parts of fuchsine and 5 parts
of methyl-violet are dissolved in the
water or sand bath in 100 parts of 90
deg. alcohol, then 5 parts of benzoic
acid are added, after which it is al-
lowed to boil from 5 to ten minutes,
until lite mass has assumed a brilliant
gold bronze color.
