IT CAN NOT BE DONE.

It would be an impossible task to tell of all the real good the Farmers Union has done. It has greatly helped the social and moral features of every community which has been so fortu. nate as to have a local union. Our people are better acquainted They understand each other better and they love each other better than they did before they began to meet from time 70 time ia this great organization. It would be impossible for any commu- nity of people to meet and discuss matters of importance Withou all be- ing much benefied.
 If there were no other features than the social ones. it would be worth many times the cost of keeping upthe organization. If we met solely for the purpose of having an exchange of views, on the best methods of pre- pairing the soil. planting and culti. yating certain crops 1t would be worth manymes the cost of keeping up the organization. But there is much greater cause for the existence of this SlNdl ol u VI ao llilCldCd III the beginning to change the terrible, awful system under which we have been forced to market our crops so long.
 How well we have succeeded Is known to the entire world, and the world looks on with wonder and ad- miration. For three years we have named price at which the SOuths S principal crop-cOtton-sh should be sold and every producer of cotton who has followed the teachings of the Farmers Union has received that price for his cotton. We have thus saved untold millions to the producers of cotton There is no way to properly estimate the many millions which have4been thus saved. By organization and agi- tation we have had this temporary success. Now, We are to have a per manent success by having a perfect understanding, by building and patron izing warehouses and placing the cot ton on the market only when the mar ket Is ready to receive it. Knowing the great successes we have won dur ing the past three years, can anyone now doubt our final and complete sue cess?
 This absolute and permanent sue cess is now assured The day of our final deliverance from most galling industrial bondage is now near at hand What great things have already been accomplished! What great things are yet to be accomplished.- Co-Operator

FURIOUS hUMOR ON CHILD.
-Ncthing Helped Her-Cutcura Cures Her in Five Days.

After my granddaughter of about seven years had been cured of the measles, she was attacked about a fortnight later by furious itching and painful eruption all over her body, especially the upper part of it, forming watery and bleeding sores, especially under the arms, of considerable size. She suffered a great deal and for three weeks we nursed her every night, using all the remedies we could think of Nothing would help. We tried the Cuticura Remedies and after twenty four hours we noted considerable inn provement, and after using only one complete set of the Cuticura Remedies, in five consecutive days the little one. much to our joy, had been entirely cured and has been well for long time Mrs F.

OLD CANNON CAN'T BE BROKEN.
Armament of Old Craft Was Made to
 Last.

good story is being told at the Mare Island navy yard concerning a San Francisco contractor who bought all the old obsolete cannon which were sold at the local yard some time ago The cannon were all of the smooth bore kind, and in order that they might be easily handled for shipment to the city all sorts of schemes were tried to endeavor to break them with dynamite and blasting powder, but they were unsuccessful.
 An electric drill machine was even set up at the yards and the cannon were drilled full of holes in order to weaken them for breaking open with wedges, but this was also unsuccess- ful. The cannon were then taken away and the last heard of them they were corralled in the hills near Point Richmond where an effort was being made to break them open with dyna- mite again.
 The cannon which proved to be so strong were among the armament of the war craft which sailed the seas in 1912.

It would be hard to keep from call ing attention again and again to the fearful cost of allowing implements and vehicles to stand out in every storm and through every drought, bringing them to state of unfitness for any sort of work in little while, and uniting for the best service at once. It is criminal. offense to burn your barn down or chop your buggy to pieces, but it is a common thing for the barn to fall d.

IT PAYS TO STICK TO YOUR OWN
 MEN,

The Farmers Union can't make a smart man out of natural born fool. But they can come as near doing it Is any other organization, if they will only round him up among the crowd, corral him in, and move him along he will count one of his size.
 Every farmer makes his own rating. The adult farmer is rated not by what he says he is going to do, but by that which he has already done. The young farmer and the novice in farming may receive respectful hearing as to what he intends to do without criticism.
 But young men, remember this: Don't be nervous about people know ing who is doing we'll and who it not. Every mothers son of you farmers are at it every day writing out upon the ground your own reputation an1 character. and if you are doing cred itable work, others will gee it and do your blowing for you without your help.-Earmers' (S.

Careful students of the subject have estimated that the cotton crop loses one-fourth between the picker and the mill, and the conclusions do look req sonable. Careless handling from start to finish has always been the rule with
 cotton. Why do not the Unions get together on some sort of proposition looking to the better packing, selling and handling of the staple of the South? The warehouse plan is all right so far as it goes but it Is only one step on the way of a considerable journey. With almost no market for the lower grades of cotton. why not use it for wrapping and tying the bales. instead of sending around the world for something to wrap the cot ton in? Then. most of the damage to the present bales comes from the fact that they are SO big and of such clum- sy shape that they are practically torn to pieces before they get to the mill. There is a crying demand for a more sensible package for American cotton. and there is more sensible package ready at hand for use. Why not use it?
