A KEROSENE BELT Judging from Interest Shown in Explorer Cook Such Is the -Case. BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Docs Richmond belong to the "Kerosene lighted district?" If Interest In and enthusiasm for Dr. Cook and the narrative of bis polar achievements is n evidence of helm; included in what has been termed the kerosene belt, then Richmond'? pkxe is fixed. Several thousand people crowded the big tent at the Chautauqua to hear Dr. Cook yesterday afternoon and about that many iibook hands with him afterwards and he was continuously greeted with "I always believe you. Dr. Cook." "We're with you. Dr. Cook." "You're allright." "I never thought anything else." "You told the whole truth." "I always thought Peary was a liar." "You're one of us ;ind we're for you." "Dr. Cook you're an honest man.v , "Go for 'em, doc." "You're perfectly lovely Dr. Cook." "Here's to you, doctor." "Shoot, up the bunch, doctor." Men, women, children, old, young, uncertain, filed passed Dr. Cook and hook hands with him. Little babies were lifted up to greet him. Next to William Jennings it is to be doubted whether any man in public life is shaking hands with as many people as long and as cordially as Doctor Cook. Whatever may or may not be thought of the truth of Doctor Cook's claims, he Is certainly very far from being a "dead one." Talks With Candor. However Dr. Cook presents bis case with forcible candor, and, after hearing him, it is hard to believe that he did not achieve the pole or as near to It as it is within possibility to get. And that he beat Peary to it seems convincing. "My mission among the Chautauqua s," said Dr. Cook, "is to present my side of the case, to uncover the dark pages of the ungracious controversy that followed and to call for fair play." Dr. Cook then proceeded to tell, with simple directness, the tale of his famous dash for the pole, of all its hardships, of every condition and his reasons for taking them. It was.iaside from the personal Interest attached, an enthralling tale of adventure, and, historically, admirably done. Dr. Cook Is not without dramatic ability and a genius for effects. Doctor Cook started out, he stated, with the idea of solving the problem of polar exploration, with the simplest methods possible, with assistants native to the country, with equipment aulted to the needs of the Inhabitants , of such a climate, and with the least Incumberance possible. Used HI Own Monty. ' "In carrying out my expedition I Used nobody's money, lost nobody's lives," ' stated Doctor Cook, to contrast his expedition with those of , Peary's which were backed up by the government and paid for by popular ubscriptlon. "I asked for nothing but brotherly treatment. And I was hounded by the cowardly slurs 'of the yellow press." Dr. Cook stated that he joined forces with a certain Dr. Bradley, in May, 1907, who was anxious to hunt big game, and they bought a fishing schooner, leaving the harbor of Gloucester, Mass., in 1907, and that after establishing a depot for supplies, Bradley left again for this country, having In the meantime, satisfied his fancy for shooting big game. vWhen they reached the region of the pole, after many cruel hardships, observations were taken by scientific Instruments. '"But, after all, we must admit," said Dr. Cook," that in taking observations on a sea of ice, with the sun but twelve degrees above the horlson, such obsersWUAT SHE This Woman Had to Insist Strongly, but it Paid Chlramv.

This remedy was of greater benefit to me than any other I ever took for disordered kidneys. I was afflicted with kidney and bladder trouble and was caused much annoyance by too frequent passages of the kidney secretions. Backache kept me in misery and there were acute pains across my loins. I slept poorly, was tired and languid and had but little strength. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills advertised.

vations cannot lie accurately made. "Time 1b a guess," Baid Dr. Cook. "However when we have reached that place where the shadow is absolutely the same at any hour of the day, that is indisputable evidence for all scientific purposes," and it was on this that Dr. Cook based his belief of his discovery of the pole. Dr. Cook stated that he did not take the usual route of arctic exploration, strewn with the bones of former enthusiasts In a search for the pole, but took a different tack, which proved, so far as he was concerned, successful. Dr. Cook stating that there was no indication of any one having ever been there before. Dr. Cook denounced Peary in unmeasured terms as a dastardly scoundrel who had for twenty years fattened off the government and while drawing his pay as a naval officer for which he made no return in service, was engaged in private business enterprises under the guise of polar expeditions, Cook making the gravest charges against Peary in his dealings with the natives of the northern countries. Dr. Cook stated that Peary started for the pole after the latter was discovered, that he deliberately stole Cook's wireless messages to the effect that he had made this great discovery and incorporated its substance into his own announcement. Demand For Silence. "Then began a conspiracy of bribery, conspiracy and black dishonor. I took the ground that public decency demanded silence. And I stepped aside." Cook inquired why Peary's reports, identically the same as his, were accepted as fact and his rejected as fiction. Dr. Cook then went on to say that even his exploit in going to the top of Mt. McKlnley was attacked. That he had legal proofs to show that the man who accompanied him on his expedition was bribed by emissaries of Peary to lie about it. . Dr. Cook announced his intention of never ceasing until he had brought Peary to cover. "People say I am severe," said the speaker, referring to his denunciation of Peary's public and private character. "But I am bound to be severe. I have tried being mild. I am now ready to meet every word I have said with legal documents and this I will do with my own money and with my fists, if necessary."

The south itself is about to discover the south. The north is discovering the south the real south." This Is the idea of E. G.

T TO MMDS OF BETROTHED r - Government Alleges ' Rich Spinster Wrote 300 Scurrilous Letters. (National News Association) EASTON, Pa.. Sept. 1. Three bridal couples whose happiness the "poisoned pen of Easton" sought to destroy, have become the Central figures in the strange and sensational case of Miss Harriett Dewitt, whose arraignment before United States Commissioner Turner charged with sending scurrilous, malicious and indecent letters through the mail is set for tomorrow. f Three hundred letters, alleged to have been written by the same person and containing malicious and scandalous statements are in the possession of the government but strong doubt was expressed today whether the prosecution would be able to establish its case against the rich spinster who denies all charges against her. The case affords the most interesting phychologicf.l study of any criminal cases in this state, affording field for speculation whether a person whose life has been unmarked by love could assume such a state of mind that the happiness of young married people about her inspired hatred and jealousy. The government bases its case upon this line of logic and upon the rudely printed line "I write you these few lines" which invariably opened all the missives. For nine years the cleverest operatives of the government secret service bureau has been baffled by the cunning of the writer. Postofflce Inspector Shaneberger, who has worked up the case against Mies Dewitt admitted today that the government ought to have more evidence. The newly married folk who have been forced against their will into prominent roles in the case are Rev. Dr. Elmer E. Snyder and his bride; Mrs. Margaret White and Miss Bessie Mayfield. All of the letters are printed and the majority of them relate in detail fictitious scandals in which the recipients of the letters or their relatives are alleged to have figured. The authorities have been reluctant to believe that much of the matter contained in the epistles could be the conceptions of a woman's mind. They are certain, however, that the real writer is a lifelong resident of Easton.

Shows Where Farmer Fails From a Business Standpoint

SEDALLA. Mo., Sept. 1. S. M. Jordan, director of farmers institutes under the state board of agriculture, was introduced to the convention of the Central Missouri Industrial and Commercial Association as the man who had doubled the corn crop of Missouri this year by telling the farmers .of the state how to dry farm the com during the drought and save It until the rains came. Mr. Jordan began by saying that the farmers must get together as the fruit growers of California did and market their product where and when it was more needed. He said that in 1910 a million acres more of corn was planted in Missouri than in 1909, but the entire crop was sold for $7,000.000 less than in 1909. That was a monster problem. No Method in Marketing. The. market reports any day would show that the hog market in one city would be overstocked and in another it would be undersupplied. The reason was that the products of the farm were going to market without any intelligent head. Fluctuation in price, uncertainty in markets is what hurts the farmer. If a farmer could have a uniform market that he could count on he would be prosperous all the time. In 1907 the hog market was so demoralized that farmers in Missouri killed their little pigs and threw them 'away. "You go into any town now and you can buy California fruit for less than you can buy Missouri apples," he said. "You can buy California fruit for less than ever before. The reason is that the California fruit growers have organized and now ship their products where the market demands it. They make more money now from their orchards than they ever did and we buy for less. "The same plan must be worked out by the farmers. They must organize under intelligent direction to market their product' where and when it is needed. An Example in Trees. "Last fall a speculator paid a widow in St. Joseph $3,000 for three thousand barrels of apples on the trees. He shipped them to Michigan, put them in cold storage for a while and sold them for $5.50 and $7 a barrel. If St. Joseph had a marketing organization the widow would have got $1,000 more for her crop and the profit would have been kept in St. Joseph instead of go-1 ing to Michigan." Mr. Jordan told the association that it must not make the mistake of trying to entice the farmer to- the town. It must try and induce the farmer to stay on the farm and teach him how to produce more and then try to find a better market. The farmers of Mis souri must get over their ' stand pat ideas. It was a fact that makers of farming implements shipped their old fashioned , implements to Missouri because the majority of the farmers in this state" stood pat on " the kind of tools their fathers used. The farmers of Missouri must be taught to use more modern machinery. Where the State Loses. Mr. Morgan urged that the agricultural department of the state university be given more money. The universities of other states and private enterprises were enticing the experts of the Missouri university away as soon as they showed extra talent. Professon Demaree had just gone into the service on an implement house for double the money the university could pay him. Another professor who was getting $1,500 at the university had been offered $2,500 to go to New Mexico.

false economy toward its university and was losing its agricultural experts, because of it, and if Missouri needed anything, it was more education along the line of better agricultural methods. One railroad in Missouri was paying an agricultural man $5,000 a year. If private enterprise could do that the state ought to be able to do it, too. Mr. Jordan said that in 1901, a dry year, Missouri grew nine bushels of corn to the acre. This year, when there was less rainfall than in 1901, the average corn crop would be nineteen bushels to the acre. The reason was that this year the farmers had been told through the press by the agricultural department of the 6tate how to keep the surface of the ground in the corn fields cultivated and powdered into a blanket of dust that kept the moisture in the earth from evaporating. "We have grown ten bushels more an acre in Missouri this year by knowing how to get the better of the drought," said Mr. Jordan. "You are agitating the building of a highway across the state and three routes are competing for it, but this increased product of ten bushels of corn to the

acre would build twenty rock roads clear across the state, it would build a dozen state capitols, it would support the whole state university for a fifth of a century, and the knowledge of how to produce that increased corn yield came from the university, which is treated in such a skimpy way by the people of the state. Let is be one of the objectB of this association to see that the university gets the support it needs." Appreciate Your Own State. S. A. Hughes, immigration agent of the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad was to have addressed the association, but he was kept away by busi ness. He had mailed a speech to the secretary, who read it to the associa tion. He told of the conditions In Northern Missouri, as disclosed by the last census; where so many farmers, lured by growing advertisements, had ' soia tneir iarms anu guue iu m mwestern Canada, where they found a harsh climate and poor crop conditions. Now they are tracking back to Missouri only to find that their old farms, had gone up so in price that they could not buy them back. "What we need in the country to hold the people on the farms are good educational facilities, churches, libraries, good public roads and smaller farms," said Mr. Hughes. "Good roads will embrace farm values, will bring the farmer closer to market and create a better feeling between the farmer and the townsman, both in a commercial and social way. "I fear that many of us have, in the past, looked too lightly on the subject of agriculture, which is the bone and sinew of every nation. When the farmer is successful the townsman is ekually successful. If, on the other hand, there is a failure in crops, wide industrial depression extends throughout the land.

was greatly impressed with the inscription chisled in granite over the front entrance to the union siation as ! follows: "The farm is best for the family; the main source of natural wealth; the foundation of civilized society; the natural providence and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose' "This sentiment, I believe, should be inscribed over the door of every public building throughout this land, realizing that agriculture is our life and our sustenance. . "Now, let's get down to business and see if we can devise ways and

means for the development of what should be one of the greatest states in the Union the state of Missouri." The association adopted resolutions asking the railroads to aid in developing Missouri by extending their lines to areas that are without transportation, and asking the newspapers of the large cities to lend their aid by telling of the resources of the state, J. W. Kearney, manager of the publicity department of the Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain railroads, urged the association to send agents to Europe to get in touch with immigrants before they left there, to present to them the advantage of settling in Missouri. Startled Schumann. An amusing story of Schumann It told by a Vienna criUc.
