the following resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted by the

Resolved, That we favor the pro-

the farmers may have the milk, and
the cream may be brought to the
creamery.
Resolved, That we have confidence
in the plan Of Mr.. Berkey, and con-
fidence in his skill and enterprise,
and recommend him to the farmers
and patrons of the dairy interests of
the county, and pledge him our
hearty support while he is working
to establish a creamery plant.
R. T. Stokes, j. F. johnson and
Col. D. w. Houston we're by the
chair appointed to draw up an ad-
dress to the farmers of the county,
giving statistics of the dairy pro.
ducts, and request that each county

the enterprise.

A CHERRY LETTER.

1t always does the Woodworking
reform editor good to know that his
labors are appreciated. Here is a
letter that is cheering:
GLENDALE, COL, May 26, 1913.
EDITOR AGITAroR Your grand
little paper reaches me every week.
have no language to do it justice.
1t should be read by every voter in
the land. 1t stands by the rights of
the people. Itexposes robbery and
crime. 1t is a true friend to honest
toll and Gods best friend.
We had long and hard fight in
Colorado, but, thank God, to-day
the Peoples party flag floats proud
ly over every county in the state.
Sir, the hand of God is in this
great reform movement. We drove
to the wall, the last campaign, in
Colorado, ten thousand Republican
majority. We bearded them in their
dens. We routed them from their
trenches with our bold "musket-
GERS" and, by the grace of God and
Abe Lincoln l swear by no other),
we expect to hold the fort. y
Long may your excellent paper
wave! j. McGowEN

The law provides that bond
holders are to pay in COIN" and
all the United States treasurers have
construed the word "coin" to mean
gold The law has never made any
such provision for soldiers, either
in the payment of wages or pen
sions. Is the bond-holder better
than the soldier We think not {;
but congress thought differently,
and the soldier, for his pay, got a
dollar that, for the period of the
war, on an average, was only worth
sixty cents in gold. "The cat is
out of the bag" There was a
grand steal, and part of the steal
came off the men who imperiled
their all, even to life, and who made
it possible for the government to
pay the hond-holders anything at
all ; and yet, this thieving money
power would strip the soldier of
that pittance so dearly earned and
50 badly needed.

MANY manufacturers have daugh-

would swiftly resent an insult offer
ed them. These same manufacture
ers employ the daughters of poor
men, who are fully as earnestly low

scruple not to insult them. They
