/ have given you the arguments
and facts, showing the importance
and the power of the farmers when
organized and united. and now |
come TO present to YOU the plan that
will bind the farmers to their own
system and place them in posses
sion of the machinery of marketing.
The trouble heretofore has been to
get a concert of action of all the
farmers. When this fact is assured
the stability of our movement will
have been realized.
| approach this subject with per-
feet confidence in the success Of the
plan, If it is given fair test. fully
realize that Doubling Thomases"
will exp Is all kinds of fear and
will urge many objections, and If
possible. mystify and confuse. and
resurrect the most frightful ghosts
and predict many imaginary evils.
The plan is what you want, and I
will now give IL. and will follow
with a supplement answering objec-
tions.

Ab!uLEi Is estimated at 100000 Ee

The fact that he has met personally the
expenses Of his various expeditions,
but there Is still more property yet to
be divided among the brothers. He

an admiral OF the royal navy. he re.
ceiyes an annual salary or about
$4,000 aud from the royal treasury he
receives close to 10000, n year
As the duke spends nearly all his
time exploring tho wllds and the most
dangerous corners Of the world, It Is
reasonable to suppose that his wife
Will be his companion In his future
expeditions. AS Miss Ekins Is a thor.
ough sportswoman. she Is doubtless
as capable az any man OF scaling
mountain peaks. She has even init.
mated to some Of her very intimate
girl friends that she and the duke will
spend their honeymoon In an expedi-
ton to some out Of the way corner of
tho globe.
Met at Washington Ball.
The duke met Miss ElKns at n ball
in Washington given by MT and Mrs.
Larz Anderson. Col Bromwoll, aide
to President Roosevelt, introduced the
handsome young Italian prince to the
senator's daughter.
Everybody in Washington cxortod
themselves to entertain the duke when
he was here officially. but it was left
to Miss Elkins to make the ten.strlke.
Let me do something for YOU" she
said, chatting one day with the duke.
IN give you q dinner, dance or a
thcater party"
I'm take them all" answered the
duke promptly.
So, one day, many Of the friends OF
Miss Elsins received cards toa dinner
in honor OF the duke of the Ahru2zi.
After the dinner Miss Elkins an.
nounced that they would attend the
thcater, and off they were whlrlcd in
autos. After the thcatcr the entire

Mr.. William +. Vahlberg, Oklahoma
City, okla, writes:
'One bottle of PoTuna which I have
taken did more toward relieving me of
an aggravated case of cafarrh of the
siomach, than years of treatment with
the best physicians.
Il had given up hopes of relief and
only tried Peruna as a last resort.
II shall continue using il, as feel
satisfied it will effect an entire and
permanent cure.
II most cheerfully recommend Peruna
TO all who may read this"
Peruna is usually taken as a last re.
sort. Doctors have been tried and
failed. Other remedies have been used.
Sanitariums have been visited. Travel
has been reSorted to-
At last Peruna is tried. Relief ia
found.
This history is repeated over and
over again, every day in the year. II ia
such results as this that gives Peruna
its unassailable hold upon the people.
We could say nothing that would add
force to such testimonials as the above
That people who have had catarrh and
have tried every other remedy avail
able. find relief in Peruna, constitutes
the best argument that could be made.

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT ON.
Oklahoma Association Of County Com.

Guthrie, Okla-A plan for abolish.
Ing township government in Okla.
homa, through legislative enactment
at the coming session of the legis.
latrue was discussed at a meeting
OF the county commissioners of the
state here Monday. The plan was
finally abandoned as being contrary
to the constitution of the state.
The association of county commits.
sioners decided to get behind legis.
lation for good roads in the state,
the expense of building to be borne
by the township where the road is
built, and to be shared by the county
and state.
A bill will be introduced in the next
legislature along this line, providing
that the supervision over building
the portion of the road passing
through any township shall be in
charge OF the township officers.
Charles Pittman of Enid, who has
charge of tax ferret work in the
state, was secretary of the meeting.
