they were practically out of danger. To
stop these the water must rise several feet
and this appeared unlikely. All train serv-
ice, however, was demoralized and but few

stock Yards Under Water.
At the stock yards business was nearly at
a standstill. one quarter of the pens on
the Missouri side were under water that
stood from one to six feet deep. This
flooded district covered fifty acres OF the
200 acres set aside for pens. On the Kan
sas side a third OF the quarantine division
was under water. The Stock exchange
building also suffered much inconvenience,
water seeping into the basement. which is
lower than the street. and forcing the
stock agents and railway officers to move
their furniture to upper floors. Eugene
Rust, general manager of the Stock Yards
company. insisted that they were continu-
ing to do business and would be able to
take care of the situation, Notwithstanding
arrivals were light and the packing houses
were buying but little butcher stuff.
The principal trouble in the present flood
has been laid at the door Of the Missouri
Pacific and Union Pacific, whose bridges
spanning the Kaw acted as dams, that
caused the water to spread over territory
otherwise safe. The Missouri Pacific
bridge caused much trouble in the pre-
vious floods and the Union Pacific struc-
ture. which had swept away In 1903, was
replaced at the same height as before.

The Day Is Dawing at Last.

Considering the magnitude of the cotton industry of this country, 1t seems strange that the prevailing sys- tenn of marketing cotton is so crude, so costly and so disadvantageous to the grower. The wool growers of Texas, producing few million pounds, have better market system. How ever, with two great organizations, the Southern Cotton Association and the Farmers Union-the one representing our business interests and the other our farmers interests, both battling for better market system for cotton it is sure to come; in fact it is right now in process of evolution.-S. w..

The Average Teacher.

"The average teacher" says the F. U. Guide, lin the country school is not cut out for the work. So many of them emphasize all trades and profes- sions, and the possibilities of the same. excepting that of farming, and they never think of teaching the farmers sons and daughters that there are as great possibilities in agriculture as in civil engineering or in profession. provided the same study, time and at- tention is given this industry. Every pupil in your school can not become lawyer, doctor, merchant or mechanic. many of them-in fact, the majority of them-must follow agriculture. Then why not teach them all the new ideas of the art and science of this, the greatest of business occupations"

WHY ARE WE ORGANIZED?
A Beautiful Setting Forth of the
 Union Purposee


 onder the above caption the Arkan. sas union Tribune publishes a clear ana logical editorial that will be good Tor Union people everywhere to read we give the article in full below. ms question is the biggest one connected with our movement. If will take some real thinking to solve if one may say joined to buy for less, while another would say I joined to get a peter price for my products. while another says he joined to down every other class and build himself upon the ruins of a destroyed commer- clallsm. All of this brings about a confounding of tongues that makes success Impossible. A correct under. standing of the real purposes of the organization on the part of each mem. ber of the Union is necessary in order TOT wise consideration along lines that will assure success.
 The Tribune would feel that it had accomplished great deal if. through Its editorial columns, it could get a correct understanding on this one question, What are We organized for?' For when all our members fully understand this we will move on har. monious lines to victory.
 The first effort of the Union should be to take out of our lives the spirit of enmity and fill it with charity. Then remove from us the principle of greed and avarice and fill us with the prin- ciple of justice and equity. This would give us desire to do unto oth- CTS as we would have them do unto us instead of doing the other fellow before he does us
 It is we'll for us to consider what we are not organized for that we may more fully understand what We are going to do. We are not organized to destroy any part of our commercial, social, religious or political system, where they are progressing along paths that lead to the road of higher and better civilization. It will take all the agencies cooperating together to reach a better condition We can not hope to build up this great or. ganization upon the downfall of any of the necessary agencies or helps in this cause.
 Our duty is clear as to our attitude to all churches, schools, fraternal or ders and legitimate commercial enter prises. It is not to pull down, but eliminate the illicit and confirm and build up the legitimate.
 We are organized to take care of the business of the farmer, both in production and distribution. In other words, to raise and sell the products of the soil. In the past we have only studied the production of wealth and not it's distribution.
 The educational feature of an or ganization should call every farmer to thoughtfulness and study, for it is only through intelligence that we will be able to take possession of our own. We are organized to plant at the very foundation head of our commercial life the principle of justice, equity and the golden rule that 1t may take root and give a healthy tonic to our entire civilization.
 The Farmers Union has a responsi. bility that no other organization in this country has and in proportion to a correct understanding of this respon. sibility and our action in keeping with oNe principles will be the good effort of our effort on our fellow man.
