Farmers' Co-Operative Union
Of America
Half of the cotton wasted on the
streets and around the cotton yards
would btrlld a good warehouse at ev-
ery town of any Importance in the
whole cotton belt
Today would be a good day to re-
solve to cut down your cotton crop
about twenty-five per cent. If all d d
this the abort crop would bring as
much as sny fourteen-mllhon-bale
crop would bring.
Stand up for the organisation and
all It repreaenta. If you aTe ashamed
of It, get out or Improve your morals
and understanding until you are fit tor
|he association of the leading farmers
who farm all over thla country.
Have some self-respect and arrange
your place of business so a* to lnspir9
the confidence of the moneyed man.
in other words, don't go 'round ped-
dling out your cotton on the streets
to Tom. Dick and Harry. Soli It like
a business man to a buslnaas man.
Have some sense.
Several years ago, the editor of the
Tarrant County Cltlxen offered to
make good on the offer to any farmer
In Tarrant County who would put half
as much labor and money Into the
poultry business as he put Into tho
cotton buslnesa, guaranteeing hm that
he poultry would make the mo3t clear
money. In other words, poultry was
guaranteed to be worth twice as much
aa the cotton, as a business^
The recent cold weather that swept,
the Southwest caught thousands and
thousands of cattle and horses "out
In the cold" In more ways than one,
and tho suffering was Intense. When
one Is heartless enough to look at the
iluanclal side of the question only. It
ta a mighty poor proposition to let *he
beasts suffer, but viewed from tho
broader point of hum*nitarlanism, it Is
Incomparably worse.
There Isn't .a particle of sence in
crying over something that only '.'may"
happen. "The best laid plans of men
an' mce gang aft aglee," and many of
the fearful things that could happen
to us often do. not materialize. Tho
way to get the good out of living, is
to live now when skles^nre clear and
live In prospect whrajlhere Is some
temporary trouble. This Is nut hard
to do.
Let us aay again that It Is necessary
for you to be able to truthfully advice
your non-member neighbor to join the
Union. To do this you should be re-
ceiving some benefit from the organ-
isation. Not a merely sentimental
sort of benefit, but a real dollar and
cents helpfulness to easier' and hap-
pier getting on in the world. If you
have not received this sort of a benefit,
your local Union Is not coming up to
the standard that it should, or else
you are a sorry sort of a member, or
else both of these difficulties stand in
the way. What is the matter? There
Is no sense in a lot of people getting
together, all in the same line of bus-
iness, without helpfulness coming out
of the gathering.
What have you done to help Saman-
tha with the poultry this year? You
have seen the new plaws, and have
taken time to look at the new planters
and cultivators, but what have you
done for the silent partner in your
business? Don't get fidgety and al-
low that somebody is poking hts nose
Into your business. That is exactly
what you need, unless you have done
"the square thing by your patient but
mbst vigilant and hard-worked silent
partner. 'Fess up, old man. '
Be awful careful to keep your af-
fairs in hand so that you will not have
to go Into debt this year for anything.
In flush times like we have been hav-
ing for the past few years the debt-
making habit is sure to grow and fast-
en Itself upon the very fiber Of our be-
ings. Shun debt as you wpuld a
viper.
These long nights shbuld find the
farmer busy with many of the works
published and distributed free by both
the State and National Governments
He Is paying for these publications,
and he should have them. If you are
not onto how to get them, write your
Congressman and ask him to put you
next to all that the Government Is
doing tor the farmer In the printing
line. Of course, a great deal of tho
stuff you will get is not exactly adapt-
ed to your condition and environment,
but It you exercise a little bit of com-
mon sense, the good you get out of
the Government publications is Incal-
culable.

Dont worry so much about the oth-
er fellow'e business and his moral up-
rightness as you do about, your own.
He may hot be exactly square, and It
Is possible that at some times he seeks
to use the order for his own benefit,
but It Is at all times meet to remember
that you are "in the thing for what
It la worth to you." If It were not
worth anything to yon yon would get
out at the drop of a hat. and you
would do the dropping, too The only
difference between you and the other
feltew la the motive, but the ultimate
object la to be benefitted. Tho high
minded man looks to an equitable ben-
efit—one that may be abated alike by
all. while the other fellow la looklag
tor the beat end of the bargain, e^en
at the expense of hie brother.
The two things ^that should have the
immediate and careful attention of the
members of the Farmers Union are
public road building and the public
ichoola. There Is no real prosperity
is a country which neglects the public
toads; there is no progrees without
good highways; there is aone of the
real enjoyment of life without them.
The publlo schools are practically a

MERCURY MU8ING8.
This Is a good time to build up your
local. Your ne'ghbors are not rushed
with work and this is a good time to
get their application. Give 'em an
otheT chance, anyhow.
Better hold your local meeting regu
larly Just once a month rather than
weekly meetings and half-failures. Get
the ladles enlisted. Arrange interest
lng programs, and let none shirk their
part.
The plan of the Farmers' Union to
bring about a sensible and systematic
method of handling the cotton crop
has not yet been accomplished, al-
though gratlfyln^.jwogress has been
made toward the accomplishment of
that desirable end. Every Intelligent
non-member has been Impressed with
the great work being inaugurated by
the Farmers' Union.
The merchants and bankers and
lawyers and doctors and preachers and
a largo proportion of the farmers are
always ready to approve the building
of elegant and expensive* courthouses
for pap-suckers and lawyers and the
constabulary to occupy, but they Im-
mediately become very "conservative"
when expenditures are suggested for
the improvement of country roads—
particularly such neighborhood roads
as do not lead to their town.

CO-OPERATOR CLIPPINGS.
A warehouse at every market town.
Truth and right will prevail. Have
no fears.
Build warehouses and change the
system of marketing.
The day of the street buyer Is gone.
Not a bale of cotton should be sold
on the streets. Get ready to market
In a sensible way.
Make Union men by putting the Co-
Operator into the hands of your non-
union neighbors. It never fatis to
convert.
Jflvery time a warehouse or a grain
elevator Is built, we are that much
nearer that perfect, tbat just ant
equitable system of marketing. Build
warehouses
Let the cooperating producers of
America march together, shoulder to
shoulder, with a perfect understand
lng, and the work tor juat and equit
able prices will scon be won.
If there are any members of The
farmers' Union who see nothing but
politics in the organisation, and havs
joined it tor ao other purpoee, they
ahould get out They are In the wrong
pew
Get ready, ao that, when the Nation-
al Union again fixes the price, we
will be able to maintain it We can
not have permanent success withou
much preparation. , We must build

MORE MONEY IN IT.
Why One Man Declined Election as
United States Senator.
J. H. Hale, the millionaire fruit
grower of South Glastonbury,
Donn., who is known all over the
country as one of the largest grow-
ers in the world, is perhaps the
only man in the country who ever
"turned down" a unanimous elec-
ion as United States senator. Mr.
Hale owns something like 350,000
fruit trees in Georgia. It ccpt him
ast year nearly $160,000 merely to
>ut his enormous crop on the mar-
ket, but he is one of the most de-
lightfully unostentatious men in
Connecticut.
He has always been interested in
movements for the betterment of
his town and state. Some few years
ago he was tendered the election
as senator "on a silver platter," as
he aptly put it. When waited upon
by the legislative committee,. Mr.
Hale literally held up his hands.
"Gentlemen," he said, "I don't
want to be elected to your august
senate. Really, I don't. I'd rath-
er be a farmer. Besides—there's
more money in it." And Mr. dale,
who has gained considerable prom-
inence as a public speaker, says he
8 still "close to the soil."
MAYOR OF SUNBURY
Ps*ra-ns Is s Good
Medicine.
Hon. C. C. Brooks, Mayor of San-
bury, Ohio, also Attorney for Farm-'
I ers' Bank and Sunbury Building and
Loan Co., writes:
"I have the utmost confidence In
, the virtue of Peruna. It Is a great
| medicine. I have used It and I havs
known many of my friends who havs
obtained beneficial results from Its
use. I cannot praise Parana too

CUTTING OFF THE QUEUE.
The most sensational and signifi-
cant feature of the new Chinese
military regulations is the disap-
pearance of the queue, which has
been condemned by military ex-
perts as inconsistent with the pro-
ficiency of a soldier. Therefore
every conscript has his queue cut off
when he assumes his new uniform,
and many of the officers do the
same, although it is not required
by the regulations. Those who
preserve their queues curl them up
on the crown of the head under
their caps. But it will not be long
until the absence of a queue will
be the badge of the soldier and the
young men of China are rapidly ac-
quiring the same love for military
display that is found in every other
nation. There is no religious or
other obligation among the Chinese
to wear queues. It is simply a so-
cial custom and a national badge,
and it can be dispensed with with-
out any disgrace or humiliation.
The only objection is that its ab-
sence will niako a person conspicu-
ous, just as an American or a
European would be conspicuous if
he wore one.
»TI I ERE are a host of petty ailments
X which are the direct resttlt of the
weathei'.
This is more true of the excessive
heat of summer and the Intense cold
of winter, but Is partly true of all
seasons of the year.
Whether It be a cold or a cough,
catarrh of the head or bowl complaint,
whether the liver be affected or; the
kidneys, the cause is very liable to
be the same.
The weather slightly deranges the
mucous membranes of the organs and
the result is some functional disease.
Peruna has become a standby In
thousands of homes tor minor all•
ments ot this sort.
