God-speed, the third annual convention
of the National Farmers' Union came
to a close yesterday afternoon.
The great convention that meant so
much to the farmers- of America had

be felt for j’ears to come.
The delegates bade farewell and
started for their homes, from Califor
nia to North Carolina, and from Flor
ida to the state of Washington.

STARTS TROUBLE
New York, Sept. 6.—Tho "silent treat
ment" of a plcbe Lt West Point has re
sulted In a clash between tho plobo
class and the commandant. Colonel
Robert Lee Howse. Colonel Hoivxo
Issued an order two days ago to tho
effect that unless the cadet was re
lieved entirely of the "treatment" ho
could dishonor by a discharge the en
tire clase.
Cadet Bock, the son of a wealthy
Chicago man. Is the yoang man around
whom the trouble centers. He Is a
plebe, but he has not won the friend
ship of Ms fellow plebes. The cadet In
"the yearling does" who hazed him Is
a Georgia cadet and his name Is Sher
man. His manner of hazing was so -
mild that when * he was reported by
Bock, the latter's classmates turned
against him and began the punishment
that he Is suffering from.
AGREE ON 15 CENTS
Fifteen cent cottonl
On this proposition, at least, the two
great organizations of farmers In tho
cotton producing belt are united.
First, In the annual meeting of the
Farmers’ Union In Little Rock the slo
gan wa* “Fifteen Cent Cotton." Presi
dent Charles S. Barrett and the entire
great organisation he heads stand
squarely behind that proposition, nnd
the union claims near a million mem
bership.
Now, the current Issue of the South,
ern Cotton Journal, the official organ
of the Southern Cotton Association,
headed by Harvle Jordan, who Is also
editor of the.paper named, comes out
straight for 16 cent cotton. On tho
front page of the Issue for September
5 appears the following:
Five reasons why cotton should
bring 15 cents per pound:
1. Because It Is worth that price.
2. Because the world Is fully able to
pay It and will need every bale pro
duced this year, and more, for con
sumption during the next twelve
months.
1. Because spinners have contracted
their output at prices that will enable
them to make handsome profits aftec
paying 15 cents for the raw material.
4. Because the grower should and
cught to have the profits that some one
else will pocket, unlese cotton should
bring 15 centg.
5. Because the farmer, who Is the
foundation of the nation's wealth and
credit. Is entitled to a profit on hi*
labor—Is the best reason why cotton
should bring 15 cents per pound.
