Newspaper Page TextA8j IN MEMORY On January 3rd, 1916, the Death Angel '■’isitcd the home of Mr and Mrs His Henson and carried away their little son Little Hsmer was sick only a few hours, and the death of the little one brought sadness to the hearts of the father and mother who hud done everything that willing hands could do to relieve the little one of its suffering, but God saw fit take him from his mother at early age of seven weeks. Our dear Saviour says we must all come as a little child It seems hard to part with those we love but if we know they have gone to rest with their Saviour we should not grieve, and we know' little Homer is at rest. It would be best for some or ns if we had died when little babes. Oh! if we were just as pure and innocent as tills little babe, we would not dread death. It seems if we had some loved one over ou the other shore that we should strive harder to he ready when God sees fit to take us. On that great day of all days, when we are all called before the throne of God, what will our rec¬ ord he? Will it be as clean as lit tie Homer’s? How sad that the mother had to give up her sweet little babe, but Jesus said, thou lovest him, but I love him more^ I want to trans¬ plant him in my garden, he snail be ns a rose and shall never wither, ai:d suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven. If we could say thy will be done* not ours. \V* know not when the summons may come to us to leave our lion e on earth to go to our home over on that bright shore Little Homer was ax well as us¬ ual Sunday night and his mother knew not that on the morrow her little one would lie called away. Neither do we know when we will have to pay the debt all must pay His mother awoke Monday morn¬ ing and the babe was sick, help was summoned and every thing that could he was done, but noth¬ ing conld have Baved him and he onlv lived about three hours The interment was at Mountain town Tuesday, Rev, N. R Hogan conducting the services. The be¬ reaved have our deepest sympathy. The dead in Christ are only sleeping, Tho their beds are made of clay, They shall rise and joyful meet him. When he comes in that great day. We that live shall see his glory, But the dead shall first arise. Then together we shall hail him King Emanuel in the skies Oh, be robed and ready, brother, Let us hail the mighty King, ■jinging, “Grave, where is thy victory, And Oh, death, where is thy sting?” 0.

But you are prepared for every emer¬ gency if you keep a small bottle of Sloan’s Liniment handy. It is the greatest pain killer ever discovered. Simply laid on the skin—no rubbing re¬ quired—it drives the pain away. It is really wonderful. Mervin H. Soister, Berkeley, writes: “Last Saturday, af.er tramp ing around the Panama Exposition with wet feet, I came home with my neck so stiff that I couldn’t turn. I applied Sloan’s Liniment freely and went to bed. To my surprise, next morning the stiffness had almost disappeared, four hours after the second application I was as good as new. ” March 1915.

President Texas Farmers' Union. Why is woman dissatisfied? Why does she grow restless under the crown of womanhood? Why 1 b she ‘weary of the God-given jewel of moth¬ erhood? is it not a sufficient political achievement for woman that future rulers nurse at her breast, laugh in her arms and kneel at her feet? Can ambition leap to more glorious height? than to sing lullabies to the world'3 greatest genulses, chant melodies to master minds and rock the cradle of human destiny? God pity our country when the hand¬ shake of the politician is more grati¬ fying to woman’s heart than the pat¬ ter qf children’s feet Woman Is Ruler Over All. Why does woman chafe under re¬ straint of sex? Why revile the hand of nature? Why discard the skirts that civilization has clung to since the beginning of time? Why lay aside this hallowed garment that has wiped the tears of sorrow from the face of childhood? 1 In *“ its * l ° sacred embrace every generation has hidden its face in shame; clinging to its motherly folds, tottering children have learned to play hide and seek and from it youth learned to reverence and re¬ spect womanhood. Can man think of his mother without this consecrated garment? Why this inordinate thirst for pow¬ er? Is not woman all powerful? Man cannot enter this world without her consent, he cannot remain in peace Without her blessing and unless she sheds tears ot regret over his depart turo, he has lived m vain. Why thi3 longing for civic power when God has made her ruler over all? Why cravo authority when man bows down and worships her? Man has givon woman his heart, his name and his money. What more does she want? Can man find it in his heart to look with pride upon the statement that his honorable mother-in-law was one of the most powerful political bosses in the country, that his distinguished grandmother was one of the ablest filibusters in the Cenate or that his mother was a noted warrior and her name a terror to the enemy? Whither are we drifting and where will we land? God Save Us From a Hen-Pecked Nation. • 1 follow the plow for a living and my views may have in them the smell of the soil; my hair is turning white under the frost of many winters and perhaps 1 am a little old-fashioned, but 1 believe there is more moral in¬ fluence in the dress of woman than in the statute books of the land. As An agency for morality, I wouldn’t give my good old mother's home¬ made gowns for all the suffragette’s institutions and by-laws tn the world. As a power for purifying society. I wouldn’t give one prayer of my saintly mother for all the women’s votes in Christendom. As an agency for good government, l wouldn’t give the plea of a mother’s heart for righteousn-38 for a;- the oaths of office in the land. There is more power in the smile of woman than in an act of congress. Tnere are greater possibilities for good g ooa government government in in her ner family nuiiuy of oi Jangling children than in the cab i ne t of the president -f the United BtatOS.

A DIVINE COVENANT. God Almighty gave Eve to Adam with the pledge that she would be his helpmeet and with this order of com¬ panionship, civilization has towered to its greatest heights. In this rela¬ tionship, God has blessed woman and man has honored her and after four thousand years of progress, she now proposes to provoke God to decoy man by asklng for £uflrag e ’ tbe ™: by by amending an agreement , to which sh^w^s^iot party Woman, remember that the Israelite scorned a divine covenant, and as a result, wandered forty years in the wilderness without God. Likewise man should remember that it is a dangerous thing to debase woman by law. Rome tried lowering woman’s standard and an outraged civilization tore the clothes off the backs of the human race and turned them out to roam in the world naked and un ashamed. ANNUAL MEETING National Farmer*’ Union Redden Uft Selfish Service i* Agriculture. • fv Peter Radford. National Farmers' Union Will hold its annual convention -n Lincoln Nebraska, on September seventh, and will round out the eleventh year of its activities in the Interest of thn American plowman. When that Con¬ vention is called to order every farm¬ er in America should pause and bow his head in honor of the men gath¬ ered there to render a patriotic and unselfish service to agriculture. Thai organization, born in the cotton fields of Texas, has grown until geograph¬ ically it covers almost the whole of the United States and economically it deals with every question in which the welfare of the men Who bars their backs to the summer sun ard involved. It has battled for a better marketing system, rural credits, cheap money, diversification, scientific pro¬ duction, agricultural legislation and has carried on its work of education and co-operation in season arid Out. Tho Farmers’ Educational and Co¬ operative Union of America brings the question of organization squarely before every farmer in this nation. Without organization the farthers can neither help themselves nor bo helped by others and through organization and systematic effort all things are possible. The farmers of the United Stated contribute more and get less front government than any dthcr class of business. They have better Securities and pay a higher rate of Interest than any other line of industry. They market more products and have lesri to say in fixing the price thati any other business and they get tnoro political buncombe arid less construc¬ tive legislation than any other clasp of people. The farmers can oflly ac¬ quire such influence in business, in government and Ih economics as will enable them to share equitably thd fruits of theiF labor through Organiza¬ tion and every farmer on American soil who desires to help himself and his fellow plowmen should rally around the Union. POLITICAL GOSSIPS When one class of pedtflo has Any¬ thing to say, it has become largely the custom to make a political IssuU out of it Instead of a frtondly discus¬ sion, to print it in a law book instead of a newspaper and to argue it be¬ fore a jury instead of to settle it in the higher courts of Common Sense» As a result, political agitators, polit¬ ical lawyers, political preachers and masculine women are powerful in politics and dissension, selfishness, in¬ tolerance and hysterics run rampant in public affairs, for when the low, damp, murky atmosphere of misun¬ derstanding envelops public thought it breeds political reptiles, vermin, bugs and lice which the pure air of truth and the sunshine oi understand¬ ing will choke to death. We have too many self-appointed interpreters of industry who are In¬ capable of grasping the fundamental principles of business and who at best can only translate gossip and add color to sensational stories. No busi¬ ness can stand upon error and might rules—right or wrong. No industry can thrive upon misunderstanding, for public opinion is more powerfd? than a King’s sword. When prejudice, suspicion and class hatred prevail, power gravitated into the hands of the weak, for dema¬ gogues thrive upon dissension and statesmen sicken upon strife. The remedy lies in eliminating tnd middleman—the political gossip—and this result can be accomplished by the managers of business sitting around the table of industry and talk¬ ing it over with the people. Inter¬ change of information between indus¬ tries and the people is as necessary to success in business gs interchange in commodities, for the people can only rule when the public under¬ stands. Away with political interpret¬ ers who summon evil spirits front their prison cellc and loose them to prey upon the welfare of the people in the name of “My Country.” PHILIP Philip, the Macedonian king, wfttta drowsy with wine was trying a case and the prisoner after sentence was pronounced, exclaimed, "I appeal. “And to whom do you appe*}?” in¬ quired the astonished monarch, “f appeal from Philip drunk to Philip sober/’ replied the prisoner, and the king granted the request and at a re¬ hearing gave the prisoner his liberty. The people drowsy with the wine of discord ofttimes pronounce a verdict On public questions which they reversq ln their niore calm and deliberate mo¬ ments.. The next best thing to make lag bo mistakes U to correct them.
