Cotton Is Key to Situation.


 You hold the key to the situation. You have the cotton, you have the warehouses and if to these you only add the courage. the business stamina and the common sense to hold your own, you need not fear the future.
 Do not be scared by the conspiracy which has been begun to make you part with your cotton for less than the minimum price. You have behind you the greatest power of the age in which we live, the power of numbers and the power of organization. Only real ize your strength, only be faithful to your principle. only stand with the shoulder to should touch with your comrades, and the victory will more than atone for the inconvenience and the waiting.
 do not ask you to hold your cotton to the injury of your creditors. Every farmers duty is to pay his debts, but this is a period when the individual farmer and the Farmers union can use their influence with their merchant friends to induce them to bear for a little while with any farming debtor whom the local union may recommend to their confidence and regard
 Be Loyal to the Union.
 In this emergencsy every farmer is an eyangel Let him go out among his 
 fellows to cheer them up-to stiffen their backbones-to show them the NtiN to the union warehouses and to the friendly merchant and to the loyal way of waiting. The year that is before us simply waits to crown the Farmer who in this period Is loyal to his union faithful to it's messages and resolute in maintaining the standard which II has fixed for the price of his noolest product.
 I feel that rarely before has the ln- tegrity and strength of the Farmers union faced a greater crisis than In the courage and character with whlch he meets this assault of the consplr- ators to force surrender upon the nm mum price which it has declared
 Let every farmer face the situation without fear, and as God has prosper ed him in other years and as his union has prepared for ..,m in the storehouse for his crop, let him put his shouluer to the shoulder of his brother anu breathing courage, confidence ana oe termination. let him repeat to the worlu the statement that the man who puFs his cotton must pay him 10 eents wound, c.

HOLD COTTON FOR
 FIFTEEN CENTS |
Appeal is Sent Out By PreSi-

IL MUST STAND FAST
President Barrett Says That Farmers Hold the Key to the Situation,
 as They Have Warehouses
 In Which to Hold Cotton.

Atwood. Ga, September 24.-(Spe- cial.-President c. s. Barrett of the Farmers union has issued the follow ing appeal to cotton producers:
 To the Members of the Farmers Union
 Throughout the Cotton Belt:
 Just after the annual convention at Little Rock has named 15 cents a pound as the minimum price which the southern farmer should receive for his cotton during the ensuing year, the speculators in the cotton ranks have managed to depress the markets and to beat down the price.
 l address to you this line as a fra ternal appeal to hold steadfast to the council of your annual convention, and with heroic fidelity to abide it's ulti- matum to the markets of the world.
 Hold your cotton for 15 cents and hold it until it brings the price.
 The committee which fixed the mini mum at Little Rock represents all the cotton states and many of the best farmers of the south.
 The National union, when it fixed that minimum, knew more about the situation than any cotton gambler or combination of cotton gamblers. It was not fx upon an impulse or an ut a mt Hal Hu

North Park Creamery
Turning out Al
Product.
Everything is Scrupu1ous1y
Clean and Butter Has
Fine Flavor.

Every process in the making of North
Park creamery butter is attended with
all the care and cleanliness the most
scrupulous housewife could demand,
and in consequence the product Of the
creamery is of the purest, and the flavor
is unequalled by any creamery this far
west. Already the demand is far great
er than the supply, and it is safe to say
that every new customer is another
booster for North Park creamery putter.
The design of the cartons for the but
ter is quite neat and attractive, one feat
ure being Il North Park haying scene,
taken from photograph. AS the milk
COWS here are almost entirely fed on hay
the picture is exceedingly appropriate.
A representative of this paper spent
nearly half day at the creamery, while
Manager McPheeters was churning,
washing, working, molding and pack
ing the butter The entire process is at
tended with such scrupulous cleanliness
that this alone leaving out the quality of
the butter, would recommend its use.

WALDEN, COLORADO THURSDAY, AUGUST 29 1907

for the Medicine Bow reserve, vice Sher
N. Hustled, resigned, j. A. Mcnamara
and Newton G. Bellaires, forest rangers,
were in Walden Saturday, Mr.. Wheeler
having come in from his headquarters
at Estes Park by way of Middle Park.
His time was limited and he left Sunday
for Fort Collins on his way home.
This is Mr.. Wheelers first trip into
the Park since resuming the duties of
his office. but he expects to be here as
frequently as time can be taken for the
trip. He is thoroughly efficient for
ester, having had charge of the Monte
yuma reserve before his appointment to
the Medicine Bow reserve, and it is safe
to predict that his administration of af
fairs will not only be satisfactory to the
government but to the estockmen ms well.
Mr. Wheeler states that considerable
work on this reserve is well under way,
a new trail and cattle driveway being
constructed across by the Poudre lakes
into Middle Park, and a telephone line
along the trail, probably now completed
will prove of much value to users of the
trail.
Mr. Wheeler impresses those with
whom he comes in contact as a man
who understands his work, broadminded
and competent to deal with questions
that might arise in manner that will
leave no room for complaint in the mind
of9ny fair person. He is man of bus
mess, and it is to be hoped the people of
the Park, especially those using the for
est reserves, will Lave an opportunity to
become acquain ted with him.

Aoki made to Root were polite, but
really In the nature of an ultimatum.
This government was informed by
the Toxic government that 1t insists
on its subjects being treated as those
Of the most favored nation. The ack-
nowledgement Of this principle is
made the condition precedent to fur
ther negotitions. japanese subjects
In San Francisco must be accorded
the same privileges as the subjects OF
Great Britain, Germany or any other
first-class power. This is why the
president sent for the San Francisco
officials. A majority OF the Californ-
la delegation favors the president IS
compromise. II they can persuade
Walsh and Roncouveri to view the
situation In the same light. an al
arming crisis may be avsrted. The
president believes San Francisco is
wrong and therefore the nation could
not suffer In pride oconceding to the
demands of the mikdao.

serious than YOU imaein." he contiu-
ued. "Schmit nay think war with
Japan would be nothing like war With
Spain When Japan strikes, she
strikes quickly and without warning.
She will not exhaust Der resources In

Secretary Root Is reported to have
said: Japan has been sounded In
her tenderest spot, national pride.
The japanese regard themselves as
the equal Of any other people on
earth, particularly feeling themselves
superior 10 the Chinese. Anything
which tends TO place them on level
with the Chinese In the eyes Of the
world, Is degrading and humiliating.
