Work With a Will,

A Farmers Union member in Civ
ing his ideas Of unionism as applied
to the farmer, says:
1--WE want to organize till we have
q large majority of the farmers of the
State enrolled as members, then we
will know where our forces are and
who to depend upon in time of action.
Our business department should be
SO complete and cooperative that we
would have a channel through which
every member could secure equal priv
ileges and benefits Some of the coun-
ties are succeeding along this line
while some are doing nothing. We
can so combine and cooperate as will
benefit every one That would mean
brotherhood, cooperative union.
"If we take up the complicated
questions that come before us, it must
be with a will and determination that
means success, for, after we have TAX
en- a stand and failed we are worse off
than before we began if that failure
was for lack Of effort.
"To succeed we must take a very
broad view of the subject. whatever
Ii be. for other interests are necessa-
rily affected by 1t.
whatever we undertake must have
a very careful and intelligent investi-
CATION then after a knowledge of the
situation, push the matter to a success
with all the cooperative force of the
union.
IF we wish to build for the union
it must be done on plans that are
common sense practical safe. They
may be opposed for a while. but the

BAvEo FROM MATERNAL WRATH.
Boys Fervent Prayer Was Answered
in the Nick Of Time

A suburbanite is fond OF telling this
story of his flve-year-old son Bobby.
Being of an inquiring turn OF mind
the youngster one day managed to
turn on both faucets in the bathtub
to see what would happen. 1t CHANGED
that the stopper was in place, and the
tub rapidly filled up, to the great de-
light Of Bobby. Finally, however, the
tub became so full that 1t threatened
to overflow on to the floor, and Bobby,
having a proper respect for the mater
nal slipper, became frightened and
tried vainly to turn off the water. Be
Ing unable to, for some reason, he
gazed tearfully at the ever-rising flood.
and then, mindful both of his religious
training and the occasional visits of
the plumber he plunged down on his
knees, and his elder sister, who hap
pened to be passing at the moment,
heard him exclaim, fervently:
20, Lord, please stop this water
running! And, O, Lord, If you can't
do it, please send somebody that CAM
His prayer was answered, for his
sister rose to the occasion and turned
of the water and temporarily saved
Bobby from the much-feared slipper.
