Barrett of the Far mers’ Union In a letter to the offl- ceis and members says one of the best Investments for a farmer Is helping the man who’s down, wheth er he’s a mem tier of the Union or not. He says: "If more men had help ed each other over rough plnces since the world began, civilization and Christianity would be much further advnneed than It Is today. "The obligation to help the man who Is down and out Is one of the most sacred, and It Isn’t confined to your fellow member of the Farmers’ Unton. In tho llrst place, you don’t know when you may bo In the same tlx yourself and in need of assist ance. In the second, by helping to put a man on his feet you are sav ing yourseelf the expense of having In* yourself the expense of having to feed hlnuor hie family. So the proposition cuts from the business as well ns the philanthropic end. I "In this country of quick chan-— the mnn who you give a life to to day may tomorrow be In a position to help yon or the organisation. So It’s good policy as well as a plain matter of duty. "I don’t think I ever sawn man so far gone In meanness that I would not try my best to give him evert a little niy of light. The man or the woman who la cast out by society with the cry of ’Unclean, unclean!’ la the man and the woman who moat need help, “Yon are not going to’ soil your hands by picking people ont of the mire. You’re much more likely to soil your soul and lose some good opportunities In life by falling to do It. "One of the most beautiful feat ures abont some of the secret orders la that they never desert a member, no matter how far he has strayed' from the pathway. That ought to be the motto of every member of ttyL Farmers’ Union, from the big gest leaders down to the newest Joiners. "We have a good deal of that spirit now In the organliatlon. The more we encourage tt the more we enhance the prestige of the order and live np to the principles upon which tt Is founded.” PERSONAL )W We can show yon an excellent se lection of driving horses, saddle horses and combination horses this week. - Mltell Live Stock Co., |n the old Griffith stables. , 4-S-aw-tf.
