to producing bread that is healthful
and digestible, as well as light and de-
licious. In large part they have sue
ceeded but improvements are still be-
ing made, and some of them will be
discussed at thei present meeting. This
talk about bakers breaking up happy

Woman Orator to Speak Here

of the most noted woman orators in the
United States. She was one of 'thel most
popular speakers at the Gladstone Park
Chautauqua, Portland, this year where
a large audience listened to a mastery
address on "The Divine Rights Of a
Child" She has cancelled Chautau-
qua and lecture engagements yielding
her $4,000 per night for the whole
period, twenty nights, in order that
fer which she only receives $40 per
day.
Before entering the anti-saloon field.
Mrs Lake was a famous lecturer on Ia
Dor questions and in this capacity has
secured the hearing of the laboring
men wherever she has gone with her
temperance message. The liquor deal
ers of Wilmington, Delaware, are re-
ported to have offered $4,000 to get
ner out of town, where night after
night she filled the largest opera house
with people and thousands were
turned away.
Those who are promoting the meet
ing say that they very much regret
that the Keylor Grand opera house was
engaged for this evening, fact which
prevented the management from secur-
ing it for the lecture, as it is feared
that the Central Christian church,
which has been secured, will be made
uuate for seating the people who will

Farmers Union
Holds Meefind

FORT WORTH, Tex, Sept. del
egates from all over the south and
from many central and western states,
representing over a million American
farmers, are today gathering in Fort
Worth for the national convention of
the largest and most powerful organ1-
zation of agricultural interests in the
worlds history The Farmers Educa-
tional and Cooperative uniOn fa-
miliarly known as the farmers union,' -
was originally organized to maintain
but the present convention finds it a
truly national body, with all classes of
farmers represented. 1t is likely that
Charles Barrett, of Georgia, under
whose Guiding hand the union has
made it's great strides in the past, will
be reelected as national president.
The union is organized on entirely
different lines from any organization
of farmers ever got together. Instead Of
trying to force down the prices of goods
they purchase, except so rar as to cut
off the profits of middlemen, their
principal purpose is to get better prices
for the products of the farm They
have also formed an alliance with the
labor organizations of the various
states and of the American Federation
of Labor.
The union is especially strong in
the south and west, although thousands
of farmers in the northwest are joining
the organization daily.
AS a business organization it has
overturned thei old order of things as
advanced by the Grange and Farmers
Alliance. 1t believes that the better the
wages paid workingmen the higher
prices the latter can pay for farm pro-
ducts-and morel will be consumed
Hence, under the principle of business
they attempt to bring into force, the
farmer and worker are brought to-
gether in material interest instead OF
being forced apart.
This is thel first organization in the
history Of the farm that has stood by
organized labor and Joined with it IN
the effort to benefit the condition OF all
labor. It's members teach that the IN
terests of the farmer and worker are
identical.
The principal business of thei Farm
ers' union is to make prices for the pro-
ducts of the farm. In 1894, when the
largest cotton crop in the history OF
the world was produced, and the price
was sent down to five cents pound at
interior points, the Texas farmers
showed what they could do through
organization. They held their cotton
until the price was forced back to III
cents a pound. This at the time was
regarded as the greatest Industrial VIC
tory ever gained by an organization o1
this character Since then in annual
convention they have fixed the mini
mum price at which members would
and they always got it-sell cotton. Be
fore that speculators fixed the price

City Taxpayers We're Slow
Over 20 Per Cent Delinquent

Out of a. total of more than 100000
represented on the city tax rolls this
year, but $59,261.31 had been paid into
the treasury last night when thel books
were closed. The taxes became delin-
quent this morning though Treasurer
Parks is receiving payments today
without the Is per cent penalty which
the law provides should be added after
August 81, and will probably continue
TO do so until the books have been
checked up and turned over to Mike
Davis, delinquent tax collector.
1t was reported this morning that
in view of the fact that such a small
portion of the total assessment had
been paid an effort would be made to
have the city council take steps this
evening to have the time extended 80
days, but it is doubtful if the effort
will succeed.
