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.
