I FOUR ^ ANNUAUHEETING OF | AMERICAN PLOWMEN [ National Farmers' Union Renders Unselfish Service to Agriculture. jiBy Peter Radford. The National Farmers' Union will hold annual convention in Lincoln Nebraska, on September seventh, and Hill round out the eleventh year of , Its activities in the interest of the j American plowman. When that convention is called to order every farmer in America should pause and bow his head in honor of the men gathered there to render a nat.riotio. nnd unselfish service to agriculture. That organization, born in the cotton fields of Texas, has grown until geographically it covers almost the whole of the United States and economically it deals with every question in which the welfare of the men who bare their backs to the summer sun are involved. It has battled for a better marketing system, rural credits, cheap money, diversification, scientific production, agricultural legislation and has carried on its work of education and co-operation in season and out. The Farmers' Educational and Co- j operative Union of America brings the question of organization squarely before every farmer in this nation. Without organization the farmers can neither help themselves nor be helped by others and through organization ! and systematic effort all things are possible. The farmers of the United States contribute more and get less from ! government than any other class of I business. They have better securities and pay a higher rate of interest than any other line of industry. They market more products and have less to say in fixing the price than any other business and they get more political buncombe and less constructive legislation than any other class of people. The farmers can only ac quire sucn lntiuence in business, in government and in economics as will enable them to share equitably the fruits of their labor through organization and every farmer on American soil vrho desires to help himself and his fellow plowmen should rally around the Union. j . i POLITICAL GOSSIPS J* When one class of people has anything to say, it has become largely ^the custom to make a political issue out of it instead of a friendly discussion, to prinT it book instead jof a newspaper and to a^gue it be*Tore a jury instead pf to fettle it Iri IJJ^Thlgher Courts sL&amji &B8g. | As a ttault, ifaHUCal u^lJatqraT, pout-, 'ics^l lawyers, political preachers and i masculin^ are pow?Fful ift1 politics and diS^ftsioR, BeMteling&ft, tnfv' ^tolgnance and hysterics r^lf rhmpant in public affairs, for, ^Irien the low, ^fiinp, murky a^rflosphere of misunderstanding fefivelops public thought it breeds political reptiles, vermin, bugs and lice which the pure air of truth and the sunshine of understand- j 1 ?in uig win cnoKe to death. We have too many self-appointed Interpreters of industry who are incapable of grasping the fundamental principles of business and who at best can only translate gossip and add color to sensational stories. Xo business can stand upon error and might rules?right or wrong. Xo industry can thrive upon misunderstanding, ] for public opinion is more powerful than a King's sword. When prejudice, suspicion and class hatred prevail, power gravitates Into the hands of the weak, for demagogues thrive upon dissension and statesmen sicken upon strife. The remedy lies in eliminating the middleman?the political gossip?and this result can be accomplished by the managers of business sitting around the table of industry and talking it over with the people. Interchange of information between industries and the people is as necessary to success in business as interchange In commodities, for the people can only rule when the public understands.

"And to whom do you appeal?" inquired the astonished monarch. "I appeal from Philip drunk to Philip sober," replied the prisoner, and the king granted the request and at a rehearing gave the prisoner his liberty. The people drowsy with the wine of 4lacord ofttimes pronounce a verdict public questions which they reverse In their ^nore calm and deliberate momenti. The next best thing to maketog no mistakes is to correct tbem. INSPIRATION f)F THECOUNTY FAIR By Peter Radford. When you enter the agricultural department of the county fair, you feel your soul uplifted and your life takes on a new power?that is the inspiration of the soil. You are overpowered by the grandeur and magnificence of the scene?that is the spirit of the harvest. You can hear the voice of nature calling you back to the soil? that is opportunity knocking at vour door. It is a good chance to spend a quiet hour in contact with the purity and perfection of nature and to sweeten your life with its fragrance, elevate your ideals with its beauty and expand your imagination with its power. These products as food are lit for the gods, and as an article of commerce they ought to bring tip-top prices on any market i.u the world. The products of the soil are teachers and preachers as well. Their beauty gives human life its first entertainment, their perfection stirs the genius in artists; their purity furnishes models for growth of character and their marvelous achievements excite our curiosity and we inquire into the wonderful process of nature. l'efore leaving the parlor of agriculture where nature is pirading in her most graceful attire and science is climbing the giddy heights of perfection, let us pause and take a retrospective view. How many of you know that after these wonderful products are raised, they can seldom be mnrkotofl !lf Q ' Tnl-n tl.rt l.li.r.1. tt.M. ?vvvu u I'i Ui;i. . 1 aivc U1C UlUOll" ing Elberta, for example?they were fed to the hogs by the carload last year. The onion?the nation's favorite vegetable?every year rots by the acre in the Southwest for want of a market and as a result hundreds of farmers have lost their homes. Cotton?nature's capitalist?often goes begging on the market at less than cost of production. It is great to wander through the exhibits while the band is playing "Dixie" and boas^ of the marvelous fertility of the soil and pride ourselves on our ability to master science, but it is also well to remember that there is a market side to agriculture that does not reflect its hardships in the exhibits U a county fair. UNIVERSAL PEACE This nation is now in the midst of a controversy as to how best to promote universal peace. That question we will reave for diplomats to discuss, but peace Tyithin nations Js nd less important than peaco between nations and it is Ji^avilv laden \vTtli prosperity for fiypry citizen within our commonwealth. Many ieading politj$ians and ofttimes pdljtjCjU giatfpfrnffi 'bare declared war upSfc ^isincsa 6h3 no cabinet crisis bvei; resulted. Many m$n TiaVe stood Tn high places 'a&5 hurled 4>gafc b0ius' at industry; thrtfst bayohttS Into b^g. iness enterprises afnl bombarded agriculture with indifference. Party leaders have many times broken diplomatic relations with industry; sent nnllHool ? A1 ?A 1 t/uowvai nviuiui!) ?ijyuig wiruugn ine affairs of business, and political submarines have sent torpedoes crushing into the destiny of commerce. During the past quarter of a century we have fought many a duel with progress, permitted many politicians to carry on a guerrilla warfare against civilization and point a pistol at the heart of honest enterprise! No man should be permitted' to cry out for universal peace until- his record has been searched for explosives, for no vessel armed or laden with munitions of war should be given a clearance to sail for the port Of Universal Peace. Let us by all means have peace, but peace, like charity, should begin at home. 6RASPING AT THE SHADOW No man?especially if he is married?would deny woman any right she demands. Take the earth and give us peace, but why does woman lnr>n fn. V. ~ uiig lUi lilU UU1IUI ! When all is said and done, is not the selection of the butcher more important to the home than the election of a mayor; is not the employment of the dairyman a far more important event in the life of the children than the appointment of a postmaster; is not the selection of books for the family library more important than voting bonds for jail and court house? Why does woman lay aside the important things in life? Why leave the substance and grasp at the shadow? He it said to the credit of womanhood that it is not, as a rule, the woman who rocks the cradle that wants to cast the ballot; it is not the mother who teaches her children to say ,eNow 1 lay me down to sleep" that harangues the populace; it is not the daughter who hopes to reign as queen over a happy home that longs for the uniform of the suffragette. It is, as a rule, the woman who despises her ho^e, neglects her children and scorns motherhood that leads parades and smashes windows \ - THE HORRY JHEB ~^5i STOCK J Will start on Fri I your money and have some GR 1| The First 10 Men Purcha $5.00 PANTS $2.00 PANTS ALL 10c YARI) DRESS GOODS ALL 25c YARD DRESS GOODS $1.00 OVERALLS FOR 75c OVERALLS FOR 10c SOCKS AND STOCKINGS.

In reply to the last American representations the German foreign office, in a note made public, reiterates a previous justification of Germany's course, reiterates her willingness to pay for the ship and accepts a proposal, first advanced by the United States, that the amount of damages be fixed by two experts, one to he select- i > ed by each country. Such a sum the f German government pledges itself to { pay promptly, with the stipulation, however, that the payment shall not be viewed as a satisfaction for violation of American rights. Should that mrOUrwl Un i in en t i sfnrtor v Germnnv in vites the United States .to arbitration at The Hague. The unofficial view here is that reparation by a commission of experts probably will be satisfactory to the United States, with the express provision, however, that it is not a waiver of treaty rights for which the United States contends, but applies to the matter ofMamages. It is virtually certain that if the United States allows the dispute to go to The Hague for interpretation of the treaty provision, or continues the academic discussion of principles through the channel of diplomacy, it will insist that, meanwhile, Germany refrairr from violation of what the United States contends are its rights. o * _ Tired, Aching Muscles Relieved.

J" """"""""" This is the season of the young hope ful who believes he has learned how to shoot. Armed with his sheepskin, he starts forth to conquer. He never thinks, as a rule, that a sheepskin is too pliable a lever with which to turn! .y the world from its course.

The Japanese have some good advice for the young graduate. They say: Keep your mouth closed; he who al- ^ ways has his mouth open shows that his mind is blank. Think of that at which you are looking; one whose eye is always wandering tells that his mind also is wondering. When paying your respects, look at the person whom you are saluting. A boy should act like a boy; avoid becoming effiminate. When it is hot, think it is cold; when it is cold, think it is hot.

Know what shame is; he who does not know what shame is is inferior to dumb animals. When in* good health, train yourself to endure physical labor; when you are ill, how- t ever, obey your physicians instructions. Become a man useful to your country; whoever cannot be so is bet- . tor dead. To these admonitions of' , the Japanese, we add: Do not be * c shamed of your father and mother, even if they are uneducated; remember you helped to put the callouses on your father's hands and to bend your mother's back. o "MONEY" The mint makes it and under the terms of the CONTINENTAL MORTGAGE COMPANY you can secure it at 5 percent for any legal purpose or* approved real estate.
