Governor PindalI Wins Forgery Case,

Governor Pindall, who has been in Arkansas City during the past several days, where he was engaged in de- lending Henry Owen, a white man, who was charged with forgery, has practically won his fight in both cases against his client, who was formerly of Arkansas City, but who now lives at Warren. The fact that the gov ernor of the state leaves his execu- tive office and goes to another point in the state to act as counsel in law suit is considered rather out of the ordinary. "The case came up in the court before 1 went into the governor S chair stated the governor, and l was then employed as counsel for the defendant. Of course when the case came up after 1 had become governor it was almost impossible for me to get out of going down there and finishing the case" The governor further stat ed that he had not taken part in any lawsuit or legal action as attorney since he had entered the governors 8 office except in such cases as the for gery case, where he had acted as at torney before his advent into the exc cutive office.

FARMERS EDUCATIONAL COOPERATIVE UNION
 nc AMcDInA
 BE A MAN.
OF AMERICA

Under this head. the National Co-
 Operator closes an article with these
 wise words:
 The country merchant does not
 sleep on flowery beds of ease, nor
 have thornless paths to pursue. He
 has his living to make, and always a
 good part of the capital he has invested is his credit, and his credit he must keep good or quit business, and when debts are due him he must collect that he may pay what he owes. The
 statistics show that 97 per cent of the
 merchants who sell their goods on
 credit, no matter how they safeguard
 themselves, fail and become bankrupt
 Just think of these figures! Out of
 every 100 merchants who sell on Can you blame the merchant, then, for
 seeking every protection he can? The
 Golden Rule is the motto of our order, the very life and soul of the Farmers Union, so let's live up to it,
 in thought and words, as well as in deed
 What each one of us needs to do is to raise our living at home so that we will not have to buy at all save the few things we cannot raise. If we will do that, not one of us will be forced into the Bumper" ranks; not one of us will have to put ourselves under obligations to other people, and fret our heart into repining because of these obligations.
 See to it this year, friends, that you put sufficient portion or your lands into forage crops for your livestock and foodstuffs for your family to last until another crop comes on. You can dc it, and if you fail to do so, you are untrue to your wives and children, un- true to yourselves, untrue to your |s union, untrue to your country. ' Holy writ teaches us that the man fwho provides not for his family is s;worse than the heathen
 & Turn ever new leaf. Begin life Kove- again and resolve to belong to no human being, save your wife, your s$children and yourself, and to have your granary, your smoke-house and zsyour pantry on your own premises.

Economy Must Be Practiced.

As result of the shortage of the states general revenue fund, the vari- ous state departments and institutions that use the fund are being warned to be as economical as possible. All unnecessary expenses are to be cut out, and the actual running expenses of the various departments and insti- tutions which depend on the fund for maintenance will cut down to a mini mum, in order to stave off possible deficit in the fund, which now amounts to about S7S,000, and which must last, with but little assistance, until early summer, when the state tax money be- gins coming in.

The Union needs you if for no other reason than that your presence adds one more to the crowd. You always vote for the president, and it's mighty few of us whose votes have had much to do with electing him, this, however, did not deter us from doing our duty in this matter, and we should be as prompt to do this more important duty of attending all meetings of an institu- tion founded and run in our interests when we run it.

The fact that the non-union farmer has stood by the Unions in mighty near everything proposed, ought to be an indication that there is not much argument necessary to get him into the Union. The ladies, God bless them, make fine Union hustlers, and they make the very best kind of members at the same time. Get them inter- ested in the growth of the Union, and then watch her grow. It is upon the ladies that the social side of the Union depends.
