ment and in nearly all cases their
patrons can be certain of polite and
courteous treatment from the attend
ants who will be found perfectly
competent and in few cases will
customers be unable to secure what
ever they desire. These enterpris-
ing men and women deserve to a
greater degree than has been ac-
corded them the patronage of their
fellow citizens. Let us, when for one
reason or another we feel that it is
more desirable to take meal away
from home with our families patron
ize one of these restaurants or board
ing houses where We do not have
to take a side room to be welcome,
where we know we will not be en-
barrassed by being told If we sit IN
the main dining room that we do
not serve colored people here, but
rather where we can feel that what
we spend will be appreciated. Like
wise with the grocery stores, tailor
shops, etc. Give them at least a por'
tion of your trade, remembering thaI
if their trade grows so that they car
employ an errand boy or another
salesman or woman that it is likel,
to be another position filled with al
Afro-American-a little above
menial one. How many of the store
= run by the other race will give ou
| boys or girls a chance to act a
! clerk or saleslady or even an erran
boy or delivery wagon driver. LIE
US ponder these things and try eac
: of us in our humble way to bette
: our conditions along these lines an
f ere long we will be surprised at tn

The Green Forest tribune., 1907-11-15

Occasionally we hear of some doc tor ably and wisely directing the Far mers' Union how to do and act. We don't mean practicing physician when we say doctor. but we mean this loose, slip-shod kind of doctor that has al- ways poked his bulky nose into the farmers business. Yes, they frequent ly remark: "The Union is all right. if it will just stay out of politics" And no truer utterance, properly handled can be made. because the or ganization as an organization. will never besmear it's noble records with politics. But, my dear honey, it is the concentrated business aspiration on the part of every farmer in this State, not in the Union. to just be political enough in his affairs to let the world at large know that he is going to run his business. and woe be unto that doctor. But he political astute, or an up-to-date 20th century, political non- inity, whose stock in trade is, "gobble much and perform but little" except that ordered by his bosses. Yes, the Farmers Union is all right, Doctor, and wears a business Bee in it's bon net.-Arkansas Union Tribune
The Green Forest tribune., 1907-11-15

Anything that will add to the sum of human benefit. is naturally part of the business of the Farmers Union, and for this reason every good Union man will be found, both as an individ- ual and as a Union man, on the side of the moral uplift. He is always striving for the things that will make for the betterment of his fellow men.
 The time has long since passed for any sane person to argue about the need of the Farmers Union. The only person that needs any arguing with now is the fellow who has mot time to attend the meetings" It might be well to argue with him with an elm nJ,1h
The Green Forest tribune., 1907-11-15

It is well at all times to remember that it is the local Union that is of importance to you. You should be personally present at every meeting to see that there is the right sort of business going on. You can send a delegate to the State meetings to at- tend to your business, but at the local you must be there yourself, or else either you or the local will suffer. This Is an easy proposition to see through.
