among his fellows to cheer them
up to stiffen their backbones

Cotton is Key to Situation.

You hold the key to the situation
You have the cotton, you have the
ware houses, 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 conspir-
acy which has begun to make you
part with your cotton for less than
the minimum price. You have be-
hind you the greatest power Of the
age in which you. live, the power of
numbers and the, power Of organ
ization. Only realize your strength
only be faithful to your principle,
only stand with the shoulder to
shoulder touch with your comrades,
and the victory will more than atone
for the inconvenience and the wait
ing. | do not ask you to hold your
cotton to the injury Of your credi-
itors. Every farmers duty is to
pay his debts, but this is a period
when the individual farmer and the
Farmers Union can use their in
auence with their merchant friends
to induce them to bear for LITTLE
while with any farming debtor
whom the local union may recon-
mend to their confidence and re
gard.

pie aa a whole shall be prosperous.
Such general prosperity as may exist
cannot be retained If the institutions
Of the already larger and wealthier
communities are to continue to be
built up by contributors that should
be spent at home from the thousands
Of smaller communities.
The need Of the country, a despef-
ate need upon which the welfare Of
the individual depends, is for the
upbuilding and continued progress Of
the smaller communities, SO that the
wealth Of the country may be distrib-
uted over the entire country, and not
congested and controlled in large
amounts in a comparative few centers
of population
Therefore, the man who sends away
from his own community money which
he might have spent at home and per-
mitted a fair profit to the home mer.
chant to be retained there for the
benefit Of the community, is injuring
his community, and thereby the pros
poets for his own future prosperity.
In a large number Of instances he Is
doing more than this. Unwittingly, OF
urthinkingly, perhaps, he is violating
his own principles of right and justice
for, at the expense OF his own com
munity, he is needlessly contributing
profits to the capitalistic combination
which he continuously cries out are
menacing the country.
The mail order giants direct theii
energies particularly toward the peo
pie Of the smaller towns and the agri
cultural districts. In hundreds o.
thousands of the homes Of these the
catalogue Of the mail order house is al
regularly received as the home paper
The man on the farm last year sent |
very large portion Of eighty millionl
OF dollars to two OF these institutions
In one community, alone.
In all sincerity we ask: Admitting
purely for the sake Of the argument
that the farmer or the resident Of th,
small community can save a few dol
lars on some Of his purchases. or ever
