Sl’ LOUIS, Sept. 9.—The utrangfU
[romance of modern times has gone the
iv a of too many modern romances,

for dlvotr-e from the artist whom she .
married a little more than two years.

and loved some 5,000 years before that
in Egypt.
in that far age she w-aS the Princess
Amneris and he was an artist in the
employ of the haughty Pharaoh, her
fatbet. It was a case of love at first
sight, according to Miss Jane Schauf
fert, the reincarnated Amneris and an
artist model. ‘I hey met, but alas'. They
could not marry owing to difference of
rank.
Rut tn the year of grace 1910 out in
Missouri things differed from the Egyp
tian order. Lit Ott describe the meet
ing between she Princess Amneris, now
MiAs Schauflfert. and himself.
He had returned from a commission
to study the ancient architecture of
Egypt by E. G. Lew's. who desired its
reproduction- in University City, Mo.,
where he saw bis bride-to-be.
At the time of their marriage in St.
Louis they described their unique sit

day dreams of Egypt that had been

nual national convention of the Earn
ers union.
Mr. Barrett was elected to head r
organization for the seventh com.
five time, and before leaving f,,
home in Atlanta entered active!' „
his new year’s pork.
President Barrett speaks moder of
the directing part he played in t.w e
convention just concluded, but h-* tl j
most interestingly of the grea- org H ?
tzatton he heads, its past and it- rj
ture.
Under a wise and watchful adm!n*s
tration. the Farmers union has du,
oped into by far the most militant an
aggressive organization the fanneri
America ever have had. Its < E
nooga convention was attended by
egates from every state in the I n ~
Hard Class to Organize.
Discussing th e organization and w,,rk
of the Farmers union. President R -
rett said:
"It must be understood that t.h ui,,<i
dift'p ult class j 1; ..
and keep organized is that class v. i
comprises the farming population )■
all the stages of history the fanner h.,,
in the very nature of his calling b tl
more or less an isolated and independ
ent part of the people of all nations.
tt hen the Farmers union was fir-t
organized in Texas, tn 1902, it had to
reckon with these circumstances.
"In addition, ihe founders had rp
combat the distrust of all organiza
tions of such ehara'cter. because of t.ne
many failuies in the past. Such fail
ures could be traced to several cause?
Foremost among them, perhaps, wa
selfishness on the part of leaders, wh.
were bent upon using the farmer ,>
advance their own personal fortun .-
whether running for governor, sheriff,
congressman or even in the channels of
Commerce. Once such men had " n
what they were seeking, the organiza
tion. which they had harmed rather
than helped by their influence, speed'
became a secondary factor in tin >
lives. Efforts to organize the farp ■
had previously failed, too. because : e
members, encouraged by their short
sighted leaders, went to pieces on the
rocks of partisan pqlitics.
Now. Has 3.C00.0C0
"We, have in opr present , organiza
tion. the face of temptation and po
litical bribes, steered clear of engagitir
directly in politics. Here.and there w
have found it necessary to formulate
legislative programs, both state an-:
national. \\ iiere this has been dope
has boon without t- ferenee to partie
or party .alignment, but simply in'
solely for the advani cute.nt of :. •
farmer, iurespeetiv.e. of tile poltti ,t
creed lie might embrace.
"V» have approximately 3.000,0Q'.'
members, and they induce al! classe
of farmers in this nation, from the.poor
cropper to the weaithicst owner of i *
own acres, not to count the phy-.-ian
the tea- bets, the editors and otliei ’
who a"i eligible to membership oi
who are giving us t heir . Opancju - an
moral support. . .
".I know. too. and this, is an impo; -
tant gauge, that from the standpoint
of dues actually paid in Hie I’ai'm-'r
union is larger and more powerful than
since its founding.
"I am convinced, front my persm-.i.
observations taken in traveling rt
Atnej icart state for several years t
the service of these people, that th-’
Farmers-union is.the greatest and. most
practical organiz.a.tion of farnict 5 in
history.”
