went 50 Tar as 10 gave ttfEL Ji,e press
that new state Organization in Mis-
souri, had been organized, that this con-
vention was for the express purpose Of
seeding from the National Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union and
forming a new body In opposition to
the present organization.
A 8. Smith, of Missouri, offered the
following, which was unanimously
adopted:
some credence that either the primary or
ultimate object of this meeting is for the
purpose of effecting n separation or division
Of the order and the formation of distinct
organization; therefore,
Resolved, That such purpose Is not and
has not at any time been the Intention of
this meeting, but that its object is purely
one OF expressing its opposition to the pro-
posed sub-treasury and land loan enact
ments, and to institute an educational
ing the organization back to those princi-
pies of wisdom, justice and fraternity on
which IL was originally based.
The convention then took recess
Upon reassembling the committee on
permanent organization asked for a
further hearing and the following was
presented and adopted:
Believing that the future policies and pros.
perity OF the government and of the Farm
ers' Alliance and Industrial Union depend
In large measure upon the action of this
body and in setting forth plans for work in
the future; and fully realizing the fact that
we need the hearty cooperation of all Pro.
pie and especially of the members of the
order; and in order to secure the same we
recommend that the members of each state
who oppose the sub treasury and land loan
schemes and the government ownership of
railroads. and who are not represented in
this meeting, be respectfully invited to CO.
operate with US, and are further requested
TO proceed to organize and to elect one
member from each state who shall become
membHr OF the national central comm ttee
provided for in the report of the committee
on permanent organisation.
The committee on resolutions then
reported a resolution indorsing the Dali
las (Tex. Farmers World. which paper
Is steadfast opponent of the sub-trcas-
ury and land loan scheme. It also re-
ported distinctive platform in which
the following resolutions were unan-
lmously adopted by the convention:
First-A reduction of the tariff to a reye.
nue. basis and a tariff for revenue only.
Second-The free and unlimited coinage
or gold and sl.ver-the money of the con-
stitution-and such currency as may DO
founded thereon as the surest, safest and
most permanent settlement Of the money
question.

THE RHINocERos' FRIEND.
Bird that Rids the Awkward Beast of
Parasitic Foes.

A Bird that Rids the Awkward Beast of
Parasitic Foes.
The forest of central Africa. like
those OF our own southern states. are
infested with minute insects called
tlcks; and as the forests of the dark
continent are more hot, more pestilen-
tlal, more gloomy, than our own, so is
the tick that infests them more per-
sistent and more irritating than the
little pest that we have to avoid. One
would think that the thick hide of the
hippopotamus, rhinoceros, elephant and
buffalo would be proof against such a
tiny creature as tick, but, as a matter
OF fact, 1t is not, and all these pachy-
derms suffer severely from tick bites.
The little creatures burrow deep into
the hide, and it would be as difficult for
a rhinoceros to pick them out with his
horn as for You to cut down redwood
tree with pair of scissors.
But the ''rhino' and the s'hippo" have
a little friend who is thoroughly equip
ped TO play the part of surgeon in this
case. He is little red-beaked bird.
with sharp bill. who is endowed by
nature with never-satisfied appetite
Tor ticks. and he finds a never-failinp
supply of this dainty food in the pach-
yderm's hide. He drives his sharp bill
into the most tender spots In the thick
skin, enters the ears and mouth, and
takes special care of the eyes.
This faithful little guardian is known
as the ox-biter, or rhinoceros-bi bird, and
1T is proper that he should be named
after the latter animal, for undoubtedly
the ''rhino'' has more use for his sery-
ices than the hippo" for the river
horse" spends great part of his time
IN the water, with nothing but his snout

Only Hope Of the People.

The leading idea and studied effort
of the subsidized toady press is to dis
tract the attention of the masses, and
lead their minds from the consideration
of the practical issues of the day-the
wholesale robbery of the people by the
present infamous banking" system
and thus defeat the sub-treasury bill,
the only hope of the people. Stick to
the Ocala demands, nor for one moment
harbour the thought of compromise
with those hp-serving politicians and
bought attorneys of English plutocrats
Stand shoulder to shoulder, with firm
reliance upon the God of righteousness
and justice, and make our united effort
for the freedom of ourselves, and for
the salvation of Katie and the babies

Never was the old proverb illustrated
better than In one of our barber shops
last week. A customer came in and
asked the proprietor If he could be
shaved for FIVE cents. The barber told
him certainly and proceeded to lather
him, then calmly sat down to read the
paper. After waiting awhile the man
demonstrated and received the infor-
nation that he was promised a shave
for five cents but was not promised
when he should be shaved. He capitu-
lated and said he would pay the barber
ten cents. The paper was Immediately
laid aside and the man was shaved
DE started to go out the door without
paying, and when reminded of his
lapse said: 81 told you 1 would paw
You ten cents for shave but did not
say when I would pay" The barber
promptly acknowledged the CON-
