They becamo rich fast, and the farmers became so dissatisfied that they formed a co-opcr-atlvo association for the purpose of building an elevator, marketing their own groin and disposing of their own hogs. Four men were the brains and energy of the move ment, namely: X. Dcnsmore, who was tho first president and who retained that offlco for tho first half dozen years; Thomas Mc Mannus, the Patrick Henry of tho asso ciation; William Barragy and C. S. Hance. Hanco had a grievance. The other men reason or other can secure theso commodities at a saving all tho way from 10 tov25 per cent In comparison wnn mo prices in surrounuing towns. It hns been charged that the reason this company can quote better prices for grain and hogs and lower prices for tho few staple commodities Bold Is that It enjoys special privileges from the Iowa Central road, but If that Is the case It seems strango that other roads havo allowed tho business to drift awny from them without giving their own elevator men the samo opportunity to hold It from them.

Moorllold Storey has written tho llfo ot Charles Sumner for the "American States man" eerles and In doing so has conferred a favor ' upon the roaders of history and biography, who aro thus brought into clocr touch with one of the greatruf statesmen of tho century. CharlfM Sumner was of purely English descent, and his anccst.rs on both sides came to tha colonies nearly two centuries beforo his birth. Ho was a Tiostonlan, a i-atln school nnd Harvord grnd uate, and tho grandson of that Job Sumner. Harvard student who dropped his bookn nt tho sound of the shots at Lexington, fought t Hunker Hill, was second In command ot the forco which protected Now York dur ing the Revolutionary war, and took his degreo In 17S5.

What h of the county. It la perhaps duo ns much to X. Dcnsmore, Its patriarch, as any other ono thing. In tho early dnys when the mem bers were wont to discuss petty matters, and quarrel some, Dcnsmore. always held himself aloof. - Ho was in the first place an able man, shrewd in business and a born leader, and he novcr spoke but what he had some thing to Bay that commanded (attention. When these littlo factions cropped out Dcns more would .mako asech nnd immedi ately the troubled waters wero Valmcd. It was as If the oracle haVf1 spoken and no one disputed Hs wisdom. Another peculiar thing Is that there are no 'secrets in the organiza tion. Tho moetlngs are open to everybody. Anybody can Inspect the books; anybody can buy supplies from them or soil their products to them. The directorate meeting even has no brand of secrecy. This experiment has been fortunate In tho Important essentials since its inception. It was founded on tho theory that the farmers wero enslaved to tho former grain buyers and that this was their emancipation. The fight for supremacy and for the llfo of the society hus been kept fresh In tho minds of tho members and each year this history is rohearsed and the ' a.'soclatlon renow3 ltn vows ns sacredly almost as If at the altar of their country or church. Every year tho question Is asked If they want to go back to tho fleshpots of low prices for grain and the exhortation is then made that the only plan to cscapo this bondage If to stick together and when a member pells elsowhere to faith fully pay his one-fourth of a cent commis sion. Examples havo been mado of a few by oxpelllng them for refusing to do this and as this means social nnd business ostracism tho cases of treachery havo been rnre nnd the men have found it convenient to move to olner localities. Fortunate In Selecting Oineerx. The association has been fortunato also in the selection of Its officers. They have been clonal men have been In the past, and he will bo especially trained iu tho direction of his llfcwork. How to Clenn Humes. To clean a harness nnd clean It right Is a trick that very few can do, although they would not own up to the fact, says a writer In tho Cincinnati Enquirer. Follow thcso directions and If you nro not pleased with tho result you will be out but little more than your tlmo. Get a bucket of warm wator, rainwater if you can, but It roust bo warm. Wash the harness clean, using any good standard make of harness soap. Pull the ends of the straps out of the loops, unbuckle the lines from tho bridle, squeeze the sponge very often and keep It as clean as you can. When you havo the straps all clean go over them again with your sponge as clean as you can get It and full of lather as heavy as if to be used for shaving; then take n very littlo of a good harness dressing and coat It over lightly. In this last operation you should uso but a very small quantity of tho drosslng and squeeze- tho spongo out very frequently Wash It out In tho water bucket, squeeze It dry as you can, dip It lightly In the dress ing and brush it over tho strap. It will look like water at the first glanco, but In a mlnuto it Is dry and you have a very nice gloss that will not noil hand or glove, nnd to which tho dust will not BtlcK. .
