Secrets Ulveo Away.
Did you ever think of how peo
ple on the outside of the organi
zation known as the Fanners’ Un
ion are able to sometimes talk in
telligently about things that
ought to be known only by mem
bers of the organization ? In
some instances even transactions
that ought to be known to none
under any circumstances except
the members themselves are talk
ed about in a confidential manner
to an outside friend that has even
brought not only defeat but sharp
criticism. This is, of course,
wrong, and very wrong at that.
Any man who would stoop so
low as to play traitor is certainly
not made of the propor material
to make a Farmers’ Union man
out of, and any lodge finding such
material as this in its make-up
would do well to take that stick
out. It is uusafe, and will never
serve the purpose for which it was
intended.
The Night Riders
In some sections still seem to be
at their mischief.lt is areal shame
for the law-abiding people of any
section to be so treated by such
bands of outlaws as has been the
case in many instances. Plenty
of buckshot properly used would
materially change matters. It
seems that officers of the law have
iu some instances been too timid
to properly discharge their duty.
With such wholesale disregard for
law and order spriugiug up all
about us and spreading like wild
fire it is time for these outlaws to
be taught a lesson or two, and
buckshot is about, the best instru
ment to use in doing this.
Wbat Do You Think
Os a young man in search of a
life-long companion who passes by
all that are realty attractive and
who are really accomplished and
would indeed make him an help
meet, and selects one who has
lowered the height of her ambi
tion to just simply cooking, wash
ing and, keeping house for just
anyone of the masculiue gender
who happens to first offer his
hand? Doesn’t it seem that he
has lowered the height of his am
bition a few notches too many ?
It may be too late to do you
any good, my boy, but one day
you quite likely will realize that
when any one is selecting a life
long companion he should be very
cautious, use good judgement,and
at least this on** time in his life
do his dead level best. My girl,
“a hint to the wise is usually suf
ficient.” Right here is where you
should not allow some young man
to out-do you. Do your dead lev
el best this one time in your life
to use your best judgement and
control your tongue. Don’t say
“yes” too soon. You may regret
it some day.
The Need of Good Roads
Is more keenly felt just now
than at any other season of the
year. The crop is being hauled
to market, and every day the
farmers are paying a heavy tax in
increased labor to haul over these
poor roads.
What we need is to create a sen
timent in favor of good roads that
shall sweep our entire section.
Arouse the public along any line
and you have a mighty power
aroused. \Y e need better roads,
they are cheaper than poor roads,
let us have them at any reasona
ble cost.
The farmers are more concerned
about good roads than any other
class of people. Every farmer,
therefore, should be interested in
improving the present poor con
dition of the roads throughout
our entire country
An Ideal Home
Is indeed something beautiful
to behold. But did you know that
the house alone doesn’t make the
home ? It takes something more
than just a house to make a man
a home in the true sense of the
meaning of the word. The house
may mako him a prison, not a
home.
But when you see in the house
where a man dwells loved one
near and dear to him by the ties
of nature for whom lie toils day
in and day out and for whom he
would risk his own life if necessa
ry, and on the part of all these
loved ones, there are correspond
ing ties of affection, here is a
home in its true .sense,oven though
that house may be an humble log
cabin hid way among the lulls in
the back woods where the mock
ing birds sing their sweetest songs.
Nol It doesn’t take a palace to
make a home, though a home may
be a palace.
If more of our boys and girls,
young men and young women
would give more thought to the
art of home-making and just, a
little less to the thought of “get
ting married,” we no doubt, would
have more real homes in our coun
try and fewer unhappy couples not
knowing the real blessings of a
real home.
Tiie Union Still Grows.
The Farmers’ Union nnw num
bers its mtTmbership this way :
2,800,0ti0. Do you get the idea
that two million and eight hun
dred thousand is a largo number ?
Well, just think, that if every
member of the organization should
be called out and ordered to stand
in a straight line allowing three
feet, for every man this line would
he one thousand six hundred miles
long. If they should be ordered
to stand five feet apart this line
would then be about two thousand
six hundred and fifty miles long,
reaching farther than from Savan
nah,Ga., t,o Los Angeles, Cal., and
if they should be ordered to
march single file five feet apart, fit
the rate of thirty miles a day it
would require eighty-eight days
for the last man to pass your gate.
The Farmers’ Union is getting to
be a pretty large organization,
isn’t it ?
There Is No Better Feed
For milk cows than peavine hay.
Did you ever notice what, great
quantities of this valuable hay
cau be produced on even a small
piece of land? The hay, too, fed
to cows can be put. back on the
land in the lorm of a lot of coin
post that will increase the fertili
ty of the soil to a considerable ex
tent. If you will try diversifica
tion right along t his line yen quite
likely will find that there is even
greater profit in raising some ar
ticles than there is in raising cot
ton. Suppose you try it and no
tice results.
A Potato Patch
At this season of the year is a
meat-maker, and this means a
money-maker, provided you have
plenty of pigs to turn in to eat
the potatoes. Right here is an
other place at which we might
profitably diversify to a consider
able extent. Try it nextyearand
notice results.
The Increase of Lawlessness
In our country is appalling, yet
we must rejoice that this increase
seems to be confined to the towns
aud cities. Our country popula
tion, as a general thing, is law
abiding. We must, however, de
plore the fact that the so-called
night-riders seem to be numbered
with our rural population. It is
to be hoped that their lawlessness
will soon give place to law aud or
der.
