Plant peanuts, pigs and poultry, and

IM this he the banner Union year
of your life hv making it the best all
round year you have ever lived.
Take time this week to make your
split log drag, and use it whenever
you can’t do much else out of doors.
You can not get out of the old ruts j
unless you change the old methods.
Diversify and get out of the old ruts.

Get a little more of the social life
into vour meetings. Let the young
people know what a fine lot of peoplo
we are.
Well, now what do you think of the
solidity of the organziation? It is all
here, and it is bigger than ever before
In its history.
It is a mighty good time to plant q.
few more trees. Have you no neg
lected spot that is big enough for a
tree to grow?
Those who have been sufferers from
"hard times," whatever that is, are
those who have “put their foot in it"

There is nothing possible without
harmony. You must make up your
mind to concede fully as much as you
ask the other fellow to concede.
Won't somebody—just any old body

would not be benefited rather than
After all, the cotton seed sold for a
pretty good price, and the cotton will
do the same, so faT as It was not

«When you diversify, he sure that
■Wui diversify, for it is no diversifica
tion to simply change from one crop
to another. Diversification means a
variety of crops.
What your taxes are is not so impro
tant a matter as what they are spent
for. If you get your money’s worth,
they are all right; but if you do nut.
they are too high.
The demand of this day and time
are for an educated people for all tne
walks of life. In the day when all
lacked education, all had an even play.
That day is gone forever.
There is no use in trying to make a
good farmer of a lazy man. The first
essential of anything in the way of z.
nvan is a reasonable amount of indus
try. Diligence in one's business is the
very first essential.
Cut. down the acreage, nut put out
“Plenty of feed stuff and watch the
pigs, poultry and yearlings grow.
These .are all money crops in every

It Is the duty of the local Unions to
flit down hard on the demagogues who, :
from time to time, come into the or- j
der to use it for the purpose of ad
vancing themselves alone. Do your
duty, or else you will he in the failure
of the order to do its intended work.
Don’t you he mislead by the sweet
talk of the professional politician. He
is not in our line of business, and his
living is made off the stuff we raise
and sell. Politicians are probably a
necessity, but we can not. be too par
ticular about the sort of politicians we
take up with.
It is not the purpose nor the teach
ings of the Union that there is any
royal road to wealth or competency.
It is the firm belief, however, that
there is a good living for every man,
and if he gets what is coming to him,
he will be provided for in old age.
It is a mighty good time to have a
big, open meeting and invite all the
people to come out and have a good
time at the Union meeting place.
Nothing like a rousing open meeting
to hel-p the initiation business and
whoop up the enthusiasm of the old
members.
Don't let this year pass away with
out doing something definite about
making your home school better. Good
roads is the first step toward making
the country schools what they ought
to be. Good roads come easy to the
man who has a split log drag and
uses It.
The price of fruit to-day is three
times as high as twenty years ago,
notwithstanding the fact that there are
three tree to one now as compared
with then.
The best work of the Union now is
to counsel the reduction of cotton
acreage, and urge the planting of a
variety of all the things that you can
raise at home for home use. The next
host thing is to assist the lethargic
members to get good seed.
Always and everywhere remember
that the Union is not formed to help
you to ‘‘sail on ffowery beds of ease.”
This world i- not built of the sort of
things that are easy. The Union is
only for the purpose of getting for you
the things that are yours, and to help
you earn more things.
Salt a Luxury.
Salt is the greatest luxury known
in Central Africa. In some sections
among the poorer inhabitants salt is
never used Even among the better
classes, a man who eats salt with his
food is considered a rich individual.
In some tribes where salt is not so
scarce children are so fond of it that
they may be seen eating it just as
our children would eat pieces of lump
sugar.
UNITY' OF INTERESTS.
Relationship of Residents of Rural
Communities to the Home Town.
“Live and let live." is a policy that
has come down through the ages and
is an expression of the Golden Rule
only in different words. There is in
born in man a desire for self-preserva
tion. It is a law of life, a.id to this
desire can be attributed that which is
considered selfishness within us. Sav
age man has little regard for the
rights and properties of others. He
lacks the sense of equity and justice |
and is guided solely by the brutal in
stincts. Intelligent, man realizes that
all his fellow creatures are entitled
to the same rights he would enjoy
himself. Therefore where the Chris
tiau spirit is found, there can be look
Nursing baby?
It’s a heavy strain on mother.
Her system is called upon to supply
nourishment for two.
Some form of nourishment that will
be easily taken up by mother’s system
is needed.

greatest possible amount of nourish

There should be the greatest har
mony among the citizens of every
; community. The Interest of all the
classes comprising a city or a district
should be considered identical. It has
been noted that the most prosperous
i towns have been bailt up by har
monious and united <■>rt of all the
people composing it. In these da> s
wnen there are evils to combat, when
oppressive trusts exist that are fac
tors in unequal distribution (%f wealth,
it is all important that the masses in
each and every community unite and
work in harmony for the protection
and betterment of local conditions. It
it to be regretted that in many agri
cultural communities there is a lack
of harmony between what is called
the business interests and the produc
ers of crops. Different reasons may
be advanced for this condition, but the
most common cause is a misunder
standing on the part of the citizens
as to the relationhip that should ex
ist between them. It is wrong for
the teachings that go forth that the
farmers' interests are different from i
those of the merchant, or that the*
merchants' interests differ from
farmers’ of the community. It
is also an erroneous idea that the
town is alone for the townspeople
and the country districts for the farm
er. Is it not true that the merchant
is dependent upon the farmer for his
support? And it is equally true that
the town Is an Important thing to the
farmer. It is a convenience to him
and he is as deeply interested in all
that pertains to it, to its advancement
and the betterment of its public insti
tutions, its streets, its parks and all,
as are the people who reside within
the town. The merchants should real
ize how important the farmer is to
them, and the farmer should be
brought to a realization that the town
is for him as well as for those who re
side within its limits, and, that the
less antagonism between the resi
dents on the farms and the resident*
of the town the better it will be for
the whole community. There is a
unity of interests that cannot be
Ignored, and there is a common field j
wherein all can work for mutual bene
fit.
