dress was, What the Farmers Union
Has Been Worth to the Country
For an hour or longer the speaker
held the close attention of his aud
fence His effort dealt with facts
pertaining to the price of cotton at
different periods before the organiza-
ton of the Farmers Union and since
that time. He also discussed the ben.
eficent laws adopted by the Texas
legislature, mentioning particularly
the anti lobbying bill, the anti pass,
the anti bucket shop bill and others
which the Farmers Union had endor.
sed, and claimed some of the credit
for securing this legislation as a plat
form demand.
The cause and effect of the late
panic as affecting the price of cotton
was also discussed, and made COM
parison of the price of the staple in
various years.
The speaker used the big crop Of
1906 and the small crop of 1907 and
the prices obtained for the crop during
these periods, to illustrate his point
Notwithstanding the panic Of the lat
ter year, the price of the staple never
sagged below lie. This was due
largely to the method Of marketing
adopted by the Union

Some time during the month of May
company l. will go into camp at the
Oliver place below the city and will
repeat the experience it had a year
ago at the same place. The company
will go into camp on a Saturday even-

the shelter tents will be used.
During the night the members of
the company will be instructed in
guard duty and Sunday will be devot-
ed to extended order drill, outpost
work and other things in which the
company will need instruction before
it goes to American lake.
The afternoon will probably be de-
voted to a bloodless campaign between
the two platoons of the company.
Members of the company are anx-

voted to have the same at some time
during the month, the date to be an
