. A WORD FROM WAYNE.

EDITORS PROGRESSIVE FARMER =
l just want to say few things about
the Wayne County Farmers ALI
ance, so that other brethren may
know that we have not yet given up.
The Wayne County Farmers Ali
ance met on April 18th, 1900, with
Woodland Sub. Though the rain was
pouring until nearly nine o'clock, it
did not keep us from having a good
meeting. Our worthy President and
Secretary were on hand in good trim
and several delegates from the near
est Subs came in, Notwithstanding
the rain. The business of the Ali
ance was transacted with much har-
mOny and good will among the
brethren.
Our County Business Agent, Bro.
Tom Jones, told US in a short speech
how we could always save money by
buying and selling many articles that
we do not, through him and the State
Business Agent.
The brethren think that we need a
State lecturer and county lecturers
that will go out and work with the
old time zeal, men that can and will
show the people that the Alliance has
not gone into partisan politics and
that it has a great mission to fulfill.

We are in receipt Of a letter from
Mr. Major, the famous cement man
of New York, in which he sets forth
some very interesting facts about
Majors Cement.
The multitudeS who use this stand
ard article know that it is many
hundred per cent. better than other
cemGntS, for which similar claims
are made, but a great many do not
know why. The simple reason is
that Mr.. Major uses the best mate
rials ever discovered and other man
ufaCturerS do not use them, because
they are too expensive and do not
allow large profits. Mr. Major tells
us that one of the elements of his
cement costs 1915 per pound, and
and another costs $2.65 gallon,
while a large share of the so-called
cementS and liquid glue upon the
market are nothing more than six
teen glue, dissolved in water or
CitriC acid, and, in some cases, altered
slightly in color and OdOr by the ad-
ditiOn of cheap and useless materials.
Majors Cement retails at fifteen
cents and twenty-five cents a bottle,
and when dealer tries to sell a sub
stitute you can depend upon it that
his only object is to make larger
profit.
The profit on Majors Cement is as
much as any dealer ought to make
on any cement. And this is dOubly
true in view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit
of Mr. Majors advertising, which
now amounts to over s., 900 a month
throughout the country.
Insist on having Majors. Don't
accept any offhand advice from a
druggist.
Always have Il supply of Major 5
CementS on hand.
If you are at all handy (and you
will be likely to find that you are
good deal more so, thanyOu imagine)
you can repair your rubber boots and
family shoes, and any other rubber
and leather articles, with Majors
Rubber Cement and Majors Leather
Cement.
And you will be surprised at how
many dcllars year you will thus
save.
If yo1r druggist cant supply you,
it will be forwarded by mail; either
kind.
