Do you Want Strength.

II you want to increase your strength
you must add to and not take from
the physical. In other words, the food
that you eat must be digested, assimi-
lated and appropriated by the nerves,
blood and tissues before being expelled
from the intestine. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure adds to the physical. 1t gives
strength to and builds up strength In
the human system. II is pleasant to
the taste and palatable, and the only

to the price of his machines and pas
ses it on down to the farmer, who has
it to pay, for he has no one to pass
it on to.
Many say that the farmers cannot
hold their crops, but we have a proof
in the tobacco crop this year. They
have held it already about i've months
with no prospect or promise of raise
in price. The A. S. of E. proposes,
when it has 1000, 900 members, to
benefit the farmer, knowing then
that there will be enough farmers
who Will hold their crops to make
the market bare aud hungry, which
Will enable those who have to sell to
get better price as well as those
who hold th cir crops.
There is no overproductIon in this
country. The last year books and
statistics show how consumption has
overtaken production. By holding
our crop and putting each month s
supply on the market as it is wanted
and not by dumping a whole years
supply on the market at once or in
a month or two we MAKE surplus,
which is mistakenly called overpro-
duction.
Now, Mr.. Editor, you and all the
daily papers say that wheat is bring
ing 81. 90 because of the war in the far
east. This is not true. There is 81
per cent. of the crop in the hands
of the farmers, which has not been
the case at this time of the year for
years. The Official paper of the A.
S. of E: Up-ToDa Farming, COM
menced last May to advise farmers
LD uOIu luclI Wuedl lOI FlsOO anu Al
the West, where the paper has a large
circulation, they held their wheat.
Local organizations cannot nor will
not help the farmer, for we have
about 1900 of them now. Nor will
the curtailing of crop do it while
the other man puts the price on it.
But, Brother Farmer, join the
American Society of Equity, that has
board OF experts on each and every
crop raised, the best crop rep orting
system ever devised, the best way to
get it back to the farmer, that gives
the benefits to him and not the other
fellow, as now. Quit vacillating and
finding fault but go to your school
houses and organize. Take the official
paper to post you and find as much
fault as you please but don't fall out
with the price. The fleece of the
poorest old eve you have or one leg
horn hen, with half a chance. will
pay that in three months.

ITO the Editor of the News. J
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
CIoverport, KY, Feb 20, 19(

! O'SAp''Ael AAJft ~
Seeing that you are still, as ever In
the past. the friend of the farmer,
would like to add little to what
has been said about the American
Society of Equity, etc. Now, think
Brother jolly has been roasting his
shins by somebody's good fire or has
been asleep, for the American Society
of Equity was founded Dec, "a. 1902,
and on Dec. "a, 1903, it had 1900
members and on Jan. 81, 1904, 20, 00C
members, and is still growing rapidly.
1t is being thoroughly organized,
with every field full OF organizes and
the people ready to organizre.
Brother Jolly leaves the pricing
question so that many might think
by joining the Society each member
is enabled to price his products. But
it is not just this way. The Society
proposes to have a crop-reporting
system of Its own. Each member in
each local union will give the acre
age and condition of his crop and
send it to the national union through
Its secretary. Then reports from all
over the country will be tabulated and
sent back to each member the next
week through the official paper.
Before the crop is harvested its size
and condition will be known at head
qusrters.and board of experts, gov
erned by this, will set the minimum
price that the farmers are asked to
hold the crop for. This crop report
will be made by each farmer, in
order, on actual crop growing and
win come bacK to him through the
official paper. In this case the
gambler will not be irst and raise OF
lower the farmers prices and get the
benefit of the profits.
You and Brother Moseley compare
the American Society of Equity tc
the grange and the F. NJ. b. A, and
say that politics killed them. That
is mistake; they died of their owr
weight because they were not built
right. They induced men to Joir
them and told how they would make
the merchants and the manufacturer
sell cheap goods. They wanted tC
pull down a profitable mercantile and
manufacturing business to an unpro.
titable agricultural business Now
you will readily see that is not the
way to build up an order or a bust
ness. The A. s. of E. tells the far
mer he does not have to make wal
on anyone unless it be the gambler
or the board Of trade, who are robbinl
him. The Society proposes to raise the
price of their produce until they
get fair and equitable price, which
means the cost of the cultivation Of
the crop with small profit. This
will unable them to pay the other
mans price and make war on nc
one. The merchant, manufacturer
and business men generally are dis
posed to look on the A. S. of E. with
suspicion, because all other farmers
organizations heretofore have made
war ON them. But the Society doei
not. We need them and they cannot
get mony If we do not make it and
we need their commodities and ar,
