go home and proceed as before to
make another cotton crop and market
-as before, never taking time to think
or attend farmers meeting and try
to devise plans to handle and sell cot
ton in a bulk, direct to the mauufac-
turer, at a fair price.
But, oh, this would take little time
and collective action. and you are too
busy working hard and saving. Yes.
you have been at this so long and
never studying business, until you
haven't got anything to save. All you
get out of it is the work hard part.
But, thank heaven, there are a few
hundred thousand of the farmers
scattered over the South who belong
to the union who say by their action
that they are tired of selling on the
auction block at prices below the cost
of production. And everybody who
has made the union a study knows
that it is one of the great causes that
helped the farmers to get 10 and IL
cents for their cotton for the last two
under the heavy crops and
reports Of enormous crops. Yet mis-
Is Rilt .aelgaast9F ,tian Of Whit can
Brother Non-union Farmer, you have
been benefited by the union in OBJ
tanning better prices for your cotton.
Now show your appreciation of these
better prices by joining the union and
assist us in our honest effort to get
better prices for all our produce, there
by benefitting us the more.
Not only will this benefit us, but
will also benefit the merchant, for we
will have more money to spend with
him.
But before closing allow me to again
urge that you attend the meeting
above mentioned, for we are expecting
able speakers to be present.

over the central valleys and lake re-
gion. 1t has caused slightly cooler
weather over the Ohio valley and east
ward to the coast. It has caused
showers from the east gulf to New
England and in the lake region and
Ohio valley. The low pressure on the
Pacific coast has spread eastward over
the Rocky Mountain slope; it was at.
tended by rain on the Pacific coast.
1t has caused a rapid rise in temper
AZURE as far east as the Missouri
river; changes of 30 to 40 degrees are
frequent in past twenty-four hours.
Over the central Rocky Mountain
States it averages so degrees above.
while the freezing line of temperature

conditions are indicated tonight and
Wednesday in the vicinity of Pales-

Starvation.

Chicago, Dec. 10.-A st. Petersburg

ports that millions of peasants are on
the verge of starvation as the result
