SOME INTERESTING DATA.
The order today numbers abou
2,000.000 members. The Farmers’ Tin
ion is the largest body of organizer
labor In the world. The order is grow
ing rapidly, and in a short time wil
have all the farmers lined up.
The organization is the stronger
and largest association, in the world
and if the present plans are carrier
out it will be among the stronges
organizations of any kind in the world
The organization extends from thr
Atlantic to the Pacific, yet there is ;
vast territory untouched by the or
ganizers. But this territory will hr
Organized this year.
The Union is making a noise in the
world, and the business wmrld is look
ing on with awe. For many years thr
cotton and grain trusts have operated
without fear, and their dealings wit.1
the farmer gave them to understand
that they were not in it, but now the
farmer will price his own product, foi
the man who produces a thing knows
better than any one else what it costs
to produce it.
The speculator says, rfell your cot
ton, for the country needs the money
and if you don't there is danger of a
panic.” Rrother Farmer, when yon
raise everything at home you need
and have shaken off the credit system
then what do you care if there is a
panic? It does not effect you. The
only effect is on the fellow who has
no commodities for market.—Banner
Union.
We are having some fine reports
from those who are using the split log
drags, and they need not cost a cent
either.
The Union meeting is the place to
discuss the improvement of the pub
lic roads and the betterment of the
public schools.
Shun debt as you would a viper.
Debt is the curse of finance. Credit
has saved many a man, but its wrecks
and ruins make a larger caravan.
It is surprising how many steps are
•wasted on the farm and around the
house just because no thought has
been devoted to the best arrangement
of things.
Keep it in mind that the men who
co-operate get the money, and the men
who do not co-operate do the work
and let the money go to the co-opera
tors.
Part of the educational campaign
ought to be based upon the present
financial condition. This of all times
Is an occasion from which to draw a
lesson of economy and thrift.
After the plough has opened the
ditches so as to drain the roadways
put on the split log drag; it will do
the rest. Use the drag when it is too
muddy to work at anything else.
That’s the sort of times to use the
drag.
The only way to fix it so it will stay
fixed is to fix it so that every man
who works will receive the full value
of what his work produces. Just as
long as somebody else gets a part ot
It there is going to be trouble.—Farm
ers Journal.
A sack of meal, a sack of flour and
a side of bacon look mighty good
when you are not sure but all credit
as well as cash will be shut off before
Saturday night. Get on a piece ol
’<»nd of your own and diversify. Can't
get land or your own? Then, why?—
Farmers Journal.
Why not make Uncle Sam youi
banker hv depositing your money Ir
* his postofflce? Then you can always
get it when you go after it. At leasi
he has never yet told the people thai
he proposed to keep their deposits ir
order to protect their interests.—Far
mers Journal.
Somebody will have to hold the cot
ton until the mill wants to spin it
The common sense view of the mattei
" is that the man who raises it is in s
I i better position to hold it than any
. I body else, for he has it at less cosl
than any other one could have it, and
; he can hold it at less expense than
any other man on earth.
If the Union has not been any bene
fit to you, it is likely that you hav€
not been a very good members. Have
you attended the meetings regularly
and at all times tried to see that the
meetings were worth attending? Have
you tried to make them so good that
none would ever miss a meeting?
Tf you have done this there is no sort
of doubt, that you are eminently satis
fled with the Union and are in fullest
sympathy with its objects.
Go into the kitchen today and look
around and see if you have put every
thing in as convenient a place as you
can.
Political economy is a good thing in
its place, and its place and importance
should not be overlooked, but domestic
economy is so much closer to home
that you can feel it all the time. Econ
omy does not. mean the close use of
money either, as many ignorant peo
ple suppose. It means the getting out
I of everything we do the fullest value
and the utilization to the uttermost
all the opportunities presented to us.
THE RURAL SCHOOL.
The Union News would like to stop
long enough In its tight for 15-cent
cotton, lower passenger fare, the limit
ing of immigration, etc,, to ask the
rural school teacher what he is doing
to get his community to improve the
conditions of the rural school. Are
you planning to establish a library?
Ah! Did you say that was impossible?
You are mistaken, my boy. Notify
the local Union that meets in your
community that you want to come be
fore them and discuss the improve
ment of the rural school in that sec
tion, ask them to appoint speakers for
two or three successive meetings, and
have the lady members to write es
says on the question of the improve
ment of rural schools, get together,
get up an entertainment, and either
fake up a collection or charge a small
admission fee. Plan a time and have
an osyter supper, charge everybody a
small fee for coming to the supper,
and many other things could be men
tioned by which you could get the peo
ple interested, and that is all that is
necessary. Interest the people in an
enterprise that will benefit the public
and they, the people, will respond.
The parents, the patrons of the ru
ral school, might stop and ask them
selves, “What am I doing? I would
like to have John and Sally as well
educated as their cousins or their ac
quaintances who live in the neighbor
hood of a fine school, but what am I
doing to make the school which they
attend equal to any other?” You can,
it would not cost much, and you had
better invest money in education for
your children than to invest, it in any
other known commodity.—The Union
News.
Yes, indeed, this is one of the most
vital questions demanding considers
tion of the Unions, and the Unions
thus gets close to the kernel of the
matter. While you are about it, dis
cuss, too, building better roads and
consolidating small schools into hip
ones, with better houses, larger camp
uses, better equipment, broader cur
riculum and above all better teachers
f
Grippe or Influenza, whichever you like
to call it, is one of the most weakening
diseases known.
Scott's Emulsion, which is Cod
Liver Oil and Hypophosphites in easily di
gested form, is the greatest strength-builder
known to medical science.
It is so easily digested that it sinks into
the system, making new blood and new fat,
and strengthening nerves and muscles.
Use Scott's Emulsion after
Influenza.
Invaluable for Coughs and Colds.

EVERY MERCHANT A POLITICIAN.
! The secretaries of the various com
mercial clubs of Texas got together
at Dallas last week and held a meet
ing. In the course of one of the
speeches this remark was made:
“Every commercial man should be
a politican—not an aspirant for office,
but a politician in the sense of saying
who shall be law-makers of the State
and what laws they can, with justice,
establish.”
Now, farmers, renters, you see- how
the merchants go about it. Go thou
and do likewise. The newspapers will
call it business co-operation on the
part of the merchants, of course, but
in your case they will likely call it
rank, radical class politics. But don’t
you be scared off. You have more
right than the profit-takers to say whc
shall be the law-makers and what laws
shall be made. If you don’t get bus)
in the face of such movements to die
- tate laws by those who live off youi
labor, may the Lord have mercy or

Any man who aspires to be of an)

time there is an election and vote liis

While some money is being made at
fruit growing, and by growing ordi
nary fruit, much more can be made by
growing the best with the best of
care. There is always a demand for
the best, while the market is glutted
with the lower grades.
As the fall and winter weather ap
proaches there are many things to be
done in the orchard that will help the
work next spring.
In collecting seeds, care should be
