IN UNION IS STRENGTH.

No nization-religious, political, fraternal or ndustrial-that ultimate ly accomplished great good for the common people (and by this term we mean the very backbone of this coun' try) has ever had smooth sailing. It has been assailed by traitors Wlth' in and by a prejudiced public without, just as the Farmers Union has been. And now that some little wave of dis cord has drifted into the portals of that organization. In the language or the Georgetown Commercial, let us urge "every member of the Union who loves his home and family, ms rights and the great cause of justice, to stand firm today. Be steadfast, though the dark clouds come. There is victory ahead. Defeats and dlsap- pointments, panics and gambling Will pass away Put none but true, loyal, unselfish men on guard, local, county, district, State and National. Then all Is we'll, and the Farmers Unnion will triumph. Let us stand together now -McGregor (Tex) Mirror.

THE A. 6 M. COLLEGE.

A Texan, writing of the Texas State Agricultural & Mechanical College, has this to say, which is applicable to practically all State A. & NJ. colleges:
 One excellent feature of the advan- tages at the Agricultural & Mechani- cal College Is that they are easily within the reach of the poor man S son. The necessary expenses for the entire school year do not amount to much more than the sum they must pay for tuition alone at many of the universities and colleges of the coun- try. And then a young man of grit and energy can keep up with his stu dies and at the same time by outside work earn money enough to defray a large part of his expenses. Students have not infreQuently paid all of their expenses, and it has occasionally hap pened that some unusually thirty fel- low, in addition to making enough to pay all his college expenses, has lald by a snug little sum to begin life on. A graduate of the college was recent ly asked how much money he had when he entered the freshman class. He replied 'I had forty dollars at the beginning of the session, and had forty dollars at the close of school in June" It is reported of another student who paid all his expenses by working, that during the four years of his college life he accumulated eight hundred dollars. Some Of thls amount, however, was earned during the summer vacations An education acquired under such circumstances generally means a great deal more than one, the expenses of which are all paid by parent or guardian. The young man who pays his own way through college learns thoroughly the value of a dollar, and he also gets some lessons in self-denial and lnde- pendence that can not fail to be help ful to him in after life.

dropped white envelopes. When school was about to be dismissed the Beautiful Lady who took care of all the children opened up the mysterious affair and took out the envelopes one by one, calling the name of the little boy or girl.
 You held your breath. When would yours come? An! exquisite moment of anticipation! Your heart-such a tiny little silly, lovable heart, too fairly ceased to beat, for every mo- ment you expected that your name would be spoken. The other children were busy showing their white lace valentines, and never noticed the wist- full little face in far-back seat.
 It was all over. The box was empty. The Beautiful Lady closed her desk. The children ran for their hats and coats. You placed two soiled fat lit tie hands to two very moisty-misty eyes and felt your first great sorrow.
 You did, didn't you? Well, if you didn't, I did.

BRAIN POW TER
Increased by Proper Feedino

A lady writer who not only has done good literary work, but reared a fam. fly, found in Grape-Nuts the ideal food for brain work and to develop healthy children. She writes:
 T am an enthusiastic proclaimer of Grape-Nuts as a regular diet. I for merly had no appetite in the morning and for years while nursing my four children, had insufficient nourishment for them.
 unable to eat breakfast I felt faint later, and would go to the pantry and eat cold chops, sausage. cookies doughnuts or anything I happened tn md. Being writer, at timee nov head felt heavy and my brain asleen
 When l read of Grape Nuts I began eatlng It every morning, also gave ii to the children, including my 10 months old baby, who soon grew as Tat as a little pig, good natured and contented.
 Il wrote evenings and feeling the need Of sustained brain power. began eating a small saucer of Grape.Nnta With milk instead of my usual indi. gestible hot pudding, pie, or cake for dessert at night.
 T grew plump, nerves strong. and when l wrote my brain was active and clear; indeed, the dull head pain never returned"

childrens faces in colonial headgear, is decidedly effective and really ser viceable, for it is made of stiff paper and could be used.
 Cards that may be used as book marks or to hang on gas jets, knob or a dresser or bureau, are always acceptable. Some of these, made in Dutch designs that are so popular, are stunning because of the combinations of colors and the quaint costumes worn by the peasant children, who are shown in the act of carrying wa ter. Heart cards, with cupids, red hearts and arrows are also pretty and are always in demand.
