Take Warning.
Farmers, you are making a noble
battle for fine crop of corn, oats,
hay and other products of your farms,
to make your wife and children COM
Portable and happy through the com
ing winter, and the surplus hoped
for to 60 at fair prices to liquidatc
the mortgage that has so long been
the terror to your dearest ones. No
doubt you are laboring hard and ell
10, that labor in the thoughts Of fu
turc reward, but do YOU ever think
that there is syndicate which holds
the evi,lc nee of debt and mortgage
on your little home, who arc working
just rs hard as you are with the full
intent Of keeping that mortgage over
your heads? They do not not want
your land. 1t is the profits of the
land they want, and they want your
labor to produce them and pay the
same into their Golfers. Do you ever
think that this holder OF your paper
as evidence Of debt has partner in
the syndicate which today Is labor

poets for the future. ordered by the
L. s. government, preparatory to
placing a price on your surplus which
you intend to pay debts with in the
future? These two syndicates go
hand in hand, and do you think they
are going to make tho price of your
surplus such as to permit you to pay
them off and bring JOY to your fam
lily?
Do you ever think when you are
alone, away from the sweettongucd
politician, who is but an adjunct OF
the syndicate to be fed by you whilst
he does their work, for they have the
money and you have the votes, that
there is another little syndicate over
in Warsaw with its head in Memphis,
which is figuring upon drawing from
your surplus this fall a little sum:
The little sum Of 5000, 900 to pay the
reeults Of a combination of conspira-
eics, worked through apparently le-
gal methods, resulting IN what might
be characterized as legal robbery OF
your wife and children? Do you
ever think OF these things? Do you
believe that you voted for men and
placed them in position to sit in the
highway of justice, who sit there and
sing the song: You have to pay;
you have to pay. 1t will be settled
by September?' Do you think that
sworn officers of the law would en-
ter into contract or stipulation and
agreement with the attorneys OF the
syndicate and thereby hasten the
cause Of the syndicate which 9th
erwise for your interest should have
been held in allegiance for three OF
four years in ths higher courts if not
beaten? Would it not be we'll fol-
YOU to consult with your ncighbor!
and get little closer together? l!

Is your old skeleton of party preju

past, 80 strong that YOU cannot join
hands to save your homes? Car
you not meet in y,ur school house!
and get statistics of you local affair
and discuss them? Organize your
selves As a band of brothers to pro
tect your privileges and rights, whicl
are dcarcr to you and your fan,l.

who conspirc to feed, upon your sui
