After a Etrenuous six hours in the state cap Hal, during which he made three ad dresses and held a reception at the state capitol, President Roosevelt left for Washington.

The president also interjected a plea for the paying of proper respect for manual labor.

President Roosevelt, in beginning his address, paid a high compliment to agricultuiul schools. Ho spoke of the lack of industrial training hitherto existing and commended tho educa tion that fits a man lor the farm. Speaking of cooperation, he said: "Farmers must learn tho vital need of co-operation with ono another. Next to this comes co-operation with tho government, and the government can best give Its aid through associa tions of farmers rather than through the individual farmer; for there Is no greater agricultural problom than that of delivering to the farmer the large body of agricultural knowledge which has been accumulated by the national limi,,. ...! t .- l..

A vast flold Is open for work by co-operative associations of farmers In dealing with tho relation of tho farm to transporta tion nnd to the distribution and manu facture of raw materials. It Ib only through such combination that Amer ican farmers can develop to the full their economic and social power. "All ovor tho country there is a con stant complaint of paucity of farm la bor. Without attempting to go into all tho features, of thiaquestlonc I hoi Kcsslcr In St. Louis Republic would like to point out that you can never get the right kind, the best kind, of labor if you offer employment only for a few months, for no man wortli anything will permanently ac cept a system which leaves him In idleness for half the year. And most Important of all, I want to say a spe- I clal word on behalf of the one who Is I too often the very hardest worked la- borcr on the farm-thc farmer's wife Reform, like charity, while it should not end at home, should certainly be gin there; and the man, whether ho lives on a farm or in a town, who Is anxious to see better social and eco nomic conditions prevail through the ' country at large, should be exceeding ly careful that they prevail first as re gards his own womankind. The best crop is the crop of children; the best products of the farm are the men and women raised thereon." Improvement Is Slow. New York, June 1. R. G. Dun's & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Seasonable merchandise goes Into dis trlbutlon slowly, which causes accu mulation of spring and summer dry goods and millinery in the hands of denlers and retards collections, while making operations for fall and winter much more conservative.
