MUST CONTINUE RIGHT.
The following excerpt, from the ad- 1
dress of President Barrett, at the ,
National meeting at little Rock in j
September, Is one of the most appro- j
priate things to remember at this the 1
beginning of the new year that we !
can think of:
“The perpetuity of this organization
deperids upon the fact that it must
continue to be right. We cun not af
ford to be either cruel or unkind. We
can not afford to be unjust or insin
cere. We can not afford to be op
pressive or to destroy any of the great
agencies of civilization or of progress
which surround us. The one clear,
crystal thing we must keep in our
minds is the fact that we are here to
demand and to secure every right and
every liberty for ourselves and for our
wives and for our children that our |
numbers and our Influence and our ini- |
portnnce to the republic will justify.
“But when this is done 1 am sure
that I speak the sentiment of tlie
great and intelligent body over which
1 preside when I sav -‘hat we do not
wish to curtail the legitimate pros
perity of any clan's of industry, high ■
or low, in the republic. We wish our
rights, we demand our privileges, we
insist upon our full equality in the
privileges of the government and in
the conditions of transportation, of
prices and of representation. But
with these accomplished we are and
we must continue to be American cit
izens, standing without malice and
without bitterness or narrowness in
our own places in the economic and
moral life of the republic and recog
nizing the right of every other class
and of every other man to live, and
willing in our own minds and with
our own hands to help in the prosper
ity of our fellowmen.”
|keep everlastingly at it.
Oh, no! When your local was or
ganized the thine was not finished.
You were not organized for the pur
pose of passing a few strong resolu
tions to bluff the other fellow! Hht to
co-operate with each other for the
god of all.
.Organization without co-operation is
some thing like spening a lot of time
putting on style and losing lots of
sleep and other things too tedious to
mention, to win your position, an then
for the lack of grit and pluck, let

m “Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty.’’ You need not fool yourself
by thinking that since you have
knocked out the bucket shops, bully
ragged the cotton speculator, bluffed ,
<the New York Cotton Exchan go and
fly-blown the government cotton re
ports, that you can now retire to your
homes in peace and plenty; you must
keep at It all the while looking out for
♦ be same old enemies to poke out
their heads in « new place. Keep your
organizations strong and ready to
deal a deadly blow to these snake
heads every time they peep out of the
bog below.—-J. C. Stribling, in Union
News.
There if: not a land speculator on
earth who has been urn- benefit to the

some money that he has done nothing

When the final analysis is made it

lar is to luame for the flurry that is
now pa.ising over the financial sky.
For the past two o- three year.- the
pessimistic dyspeptics have been
talking or some sort of a coming oanic
that would he a pace setter for all
time. This has resulted in the storing
away—out of the channels of trade—
all the available ca-:h. Banks, mer
chants and inividuals have all done
this, and the so-called panic is slmp'y

ishness. and never had any real cans*

result of one of those stampedes
which no one can account for.
The best place to hold the cotton
Is on the farm. There should be aotne
sort of a system for keeping a record
of the supply, but the farmer has the
cotton at a less cost than anybody
else, or ought to, and he can best af
ford, for that reason, if for no other,
to do the “slow marketing,” which Is
another name for letting the mill man
have it as he needs it.

nal.
Encourage the local fairs and the
public sales days. In many communi
ties these sales days are used as a
means of trading and swapping what
you do not need or of trading what
you have too much of for something
that your neighbor does not want, but
which is just the thing you have been
looking for. The traffic system is the
real foundation of all commerce, and
as the farmer is the beginning of all
wealth, it is proper that he perpetuate
the traffic system.
There is no better way to prove
your faith in Unionism than to work
along its proposed lines. Get together
in your neighborhood and digest all
propositions looking to united efforts
for the betterment of the methods on
the farm, in the school house and at
the markets. “There is wisdom in a
multitude of counsel.”

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.

SCHOOL* AND CHIMCHE*.
Two Vital Thing* for th# W*ifar« *f
the Maesc*.
There Is wisdom in the old slogan, !
“A 6chool cm every hill top and a
church in every valley.” Citizens of
the United States may well feel proud
of the great educational system which !
makes it possible for all classes to ac- j
quire the proper mental cultivation. :
They may also feel proud of the re- j
ligious liberty that each and every '
citizen enjoys. There is no estab- |
lished church to interfere with the j
frec> exercise of cxmscieuce, neither is j
there any law that interferes with the j
exercise of religious belief.
The United States can be looked 1
upon as a nation where schools and
churches flourish to the fullest. The
public school system is one of the ,
most perfect that civilization has yet
evolved. Of course there are com
munities where local conditions aro
not so favorable for schools as other
places. It will be observed that the
more important is the city or the
town, the more advanced are the edu
cational facilities offered the people.
The residents of rural communities
have their state or district school, the
curriculume of which are restricted.
It Is to the nearby town that the chil
dren who are residents of the farm
districts must look for their higher
education, which is a necessary’ prep
aration for entry into college, and for
business life. How important it is,
then, to the resident of the farm dis
trict that his home town be an active
place and of sufficient business im
portance to Justify the maintenance of
a high class school! It can be seen
how each resident of a farming com
munity should be Interested in the
home town and all that pertains to its
upbuilding. If on no other account,
purely on account of the educational
facilities.
Running parallel in importance with
the schools are the churches. The
better the home town the better are
the church buildings, and the greater
is the talent that fills the pulpit. Roth
schoois and churches have education
al qualities that should not he lightly
valued. They mean the highest men
tal and moral development, and upon
this development depends the good
citizenship and the advancement and
perpetuation of the nation.
OVERLOOKED OPPORTUNITIES.
Chances in Average Small Town for
Profitably Engaging in Business.
According to the United States cen
sus of 1900 there was produced in the j
United States 1,293,662,433 dozen eggs. I
The same statistics give the annual I
production of poultry at 250,623,114.
The butter made on farms each year j
is in excess of 1,000,000,000 pounds, i
The cheese made on farms averages j
about 20,000.000 pounds annually. !
These statistics are interesting, and I
with each farmer growing poultry and j
eggs and making butter and cheese, it !
hardly seems possible that such com- i
binations as dairy trusts and egg and ■
poultry trusts could exist, but that
they do is nevertheless a fact.
Every small town in a farming dis
trict can command sufficient butter, j
egg and poultry trade to support a j
prosperous exclusive produce estab
lishment. Tlie practice has generally
obtained in agricultural districts of
storekeepers in various lines taking
farmers' produce in exchange for
goods. The produce thus received by
merchants is forwarded to the com
mission houses in the large city, and
these houses are factors that make it
possible to maintain trusts in the pro
duce business, it appears that if each
town had its exclusive produce estab
lishment to buy what the farmer has
to sell instead of the produce going
through the local stores, that better j
prices could be paid the farmers and
the business made a most profitable
one if rightly conducted.
According to the natural law’s of
business industry succeeds best where
advantages are most abundant. Thus
It seems that the produce offers a
most excellent field in the majority of
agrlc«ft«ral towns.
