Fanner*' Union a ('ouiicrting Idnk. The power and influence of the co-operative feature of the farmers' Union hag now come to be recog nised by all other organizations as an lndlKpensabie connecting link between formers and nil other in dustrial and educational organiza tions. When the chamber of cum merce of a town desires to promote any new proposition lor the pub lic benefit, they have learned the advantages there Is in calling a conference with the farmers organ ization. Two of the high officials ol agricultural colleges of two Southern Btates recently stated to thlB scribe that the Farmers' Un ion was a very important connecting link between farmers' college work and tiie. farmer; the union la the prime mover and co-operator in state and government farm demon stration work, the auto-good roads and other associations realize that unless the union stands for good roads that these good roads asso ciations are all up bill pull. The very name, ??Farmers' Educational and Co-operative Union," is suffi cient guarantee of friendship and co-operation in all better school im provements. ? * Union Principles. Suppose the churches, the state and national government, and all the hundreds of secret orders and all other organizations were to stand for only those labors In which the sacrifice is not greater than the wages in dollars, where would our civilization be today? Would our nation's emblem be more appropriate or acceptable to our people for the eagle to carry a dollar In its beak than to balance the scales of justice and right from ltn claws? Our Farmers' Unions are called upon to do a lot of charitable work. We have quite a lot of substantial farmers that are too cowardly to Join the union for fear of not pleasing some one In other occupatIons?these sordid, In active cowards are made happy by effort on their part. CJo after theso favors resulting from without any neighbors and show them that their permanent prosperity depends large ly upon the general prosperity of his neighbors, and he will bo with you. if be points out mistakes that the union has made, tell him that he is the very man we need to come right along into the union whero Improvements are always wel come and that the Improvements cannot come from the ojutside. * * * Our l>i|>ty First. It is not what we want to do that should guide our daily work, but what is our duty. To many of us there is not a day pusses by but what duty calls us to do thingfe that oyr animal nat^>e does not want to do. Our animal nature is "agin" our leaving our private bus iness to go odt among farmers and put up a whole lot of arguments to him to get him to Join the union for Ills own benefit, but duty says do it, and we must obey, in every county we have some of our best, men that do not attend the union meetings regular for the apparent reason that they think that we have gotten all the union demands, and that the thing Is finished, that While ordering the daily groceries customers often send us a message like this: "You are al ways so prompt and understand my needs so well that it is a pleasure to deal with you." ?
