You should always remember that
most cough and cold cures are con-
stpating. Yet the most important
thing to do when you have cold is
to move the bowels. You cannot
promptly cure a cold until you do
this. Kennedy's Laxative Cough
Syrup stops the cough by allaying in
fiammation of the throat and lungs,
and it drives the cold from the sys-
tenn by gently moving the bowels.
Children like it for it tastes nearly
as good as maple sugar. Sold by the
Anti Monopoly Drugstore.

BOYETT
IN new ORLEANS
What He Says About the Plans
Of Farmers Union and Fed
Grafton of Warehouses.

y W AsNNNtN Va
Farmers Union is reported by
the States of December is, as
follows
Secretary J. W. Boyett of the
Farmers Union, has returned to
the city after ( he recent meeting
of the board of directors in Beebe,
Ark. Mr.. Boyett says that all
the directors were very enthusias-
tic over the result of the meeting
AMI the selection of New Orleans
as the permanent headquarters of
the National Farmers Union. He
declares that the.pIan was voted
as practicable and he can see no
reason why the big warehouse
here in New Orleans, holding a
million bales of cotton. cannot he
put in operation in q reasonable
time. The meeting of the board
of directors was attended by pro-
minent cotton producers from all
parts of the South and every one
of the members were outspoken
in favor of New Orleans as the
permanent headquarters and also
the proposed central warehouse.
"They all saw the necessity"
says Secretary Boyett, "of storing
their cotton and holding it for
better prices, to issue certificates
on the cotton and to have these
certificates accepted for fifty per
cent of the cash value of the cot
ton represented.
1.-The meeting was delightfully."-
harmonious in every way and the
interest in the warehouse plan for
New Orleans has in no wise abat.
ed. We heard from all the States
aud every cotton section and these
reports were one way. L am con-
vinced that the central warehouse
in New Orleans will be a success
and we will cooperate with the
Progressive Union, the special
committee here and business men
generally heart and soul. / shall
! have my Office here and all the
correspondence and business con-
corning the Farmers Union will
60 out from New Orleans. We
shall daily send. hundreds of let
ters, pamphlets and other CORES
pondence from New Orleans and
keep in direct touch the 1000, 900
members of the Farmers Union.
"The federation of warehouse
plan consists briefly of number
of small warehouses in each State
where the farmer can store his
cottonuunder the direction and
supervision of board of control,
consisting of three members of
the Farmers Union, who are .un-
der bond for $4,000 each. They
propose to sell the cotton direct
TO the spinner and issue certified
warehouse receipt for the cotton
stored. The board of control
pledges to cash these receipts for
, three-fourths the value of the
cotton at the banks at reason
!, able interest. An appeal is made
to union and non-union farmers
to store their cotton in the fedora
ton warehouses and to hold their
" cotton now and not place it on
i the market. Meetings have beer

agreement, have decided to force the
government either to shut off the orr

iortify the Pacific coast. Either course
would be inopportune at present
The delegation that conferred with
Assistant Secretary of War Oliver was

that the Pacific coast states would be
willing to organize companies for

equipment but that the states could
not divert any of the present national

The seriousness of the Pacific coast

fact that the present coast artillery

cent of the quota necessary to man
