of the We'll Informed of the World has always been for simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its con- ponent parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action.
 In supplying that demand with it's ex- ,ellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fi Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for it's remark able success.
 That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the We'll Informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuinc-manufacture by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

Non-Union Man Benefits.

1 believe that the benefits from the Union have been wonderful, indeed, but I believe, too, that it has benefit ted the non-union men more than It has the union men, for this reason: The holding of cotton makes the price go up; there is just enough held 10 keen the price up around II, 12 or l3 cents, and the non-union man did get that for his cotton, while at the same time the union men, those that held and afterward sold, never got that for one bale; while those that are yet holding haven't got that, nor their l5 cents. either. Yet believe if the union men alone could have all held their cotton that they would have obtained the 15 cents just as easily as they did the 10 cents, the year before
 Brother, quit buying anything from those that oppose us, find out who they are and don't tell them the req son that you are going to quit, but just quit
 So we are soon going to have Farmers Union cotton mill in the pro- eressive city of Fort Worth?
 I see some are opposing that meas ure, very ably, too; but it's because they haven't yet ascertained the real benefit that that move will be to us. haven't space to give the reason why speak as do, but I'll just re- mark that do oppose the so'called warehouse system to the bitter end. The spinners have to have the cotton, if matters not where he finds 1t. Or course to bulk it up is a good idea, but YOU can do that at gin lots and save this expense.-W. A.

blow because the leaders of capital or the spectators worship the god of selfishness under the rays of a false star and yet, amid all this, the cause of our intended rights has forged ahead and we are steadily climbing the summit of the mount of victory.
 To whom must credit be given for much of the glorious wealth of the world today? Should we (the follow CTS of the plow) not be recognized? Yes, verify l say We are worthy of special recognition. Who but the farmer is a more important factor in creating the millions of dollars that go into the hands of the capitalists every year? And yet he is the least considered of industrial agencies.
 But in the clamor for liberty it is remarkable to hear the sentiments ex. pressed i'll the heat of the conflict.
 The cry is of the same order as is heard from the depressed legions oi the wage earners. As an illustration We will quote an extract from ser. mon We once read in which the good theologian said:
 Good people, things will never go well so long as there be williams and gentlemen. By what right are they whom We call lords greater folks than we? On what grounds have they de served it2 Why do they hold us in serfage? If we all come of the same fl hn,. nd hz, ~f xlc, how can they say or prove that they are better than we, if it be not that they make us gain for them what they spend on their pride? They are clothed in velvet and warm in their furs and ermins, while We are covered with rags and patches. They have wine and spices and fair bread, and we eat cake and straw and water to drink. They have leisure and fine houses we have pain and labor, the rain and the wind in the fields, and yet it is of us and our toil' that these men hold their state"
 This is one of the many pictures at which we may look and see our own conditions.
 The dignity of labor demands that the laborers are justified in combining their forces for mutual protection, and the initiative must be taken by us our selves, therefore, we have organized our forces and have shown what a formida ble host We are. It is case of great nation awakening out of sleep to see how large she is So our hosts have come to see that they have all power in their hands, if they can only mani fest it. We see that the problem Is not easy of solution, yet each strugg,e is a step toward the end. and our army even at the cost of many mistakes and blunders, will continue their agita- ton, and push their campaign until some Waterloo, Gettysburg or Plain Of Abraham is reached, where their deci- sive battle will be fought, and the cause of Unionism win it's day Till then all hearts must be patient; every soul in earnest willing to suffer fl need be. until the day of redemption is at hand.
 So let us stand hand in hand and clasping hands, united, all united now, and united forever Yours in the Union.-Wm. E. Burt, Wilton, Ark, in National Co-O2erator and Farm Journal

SEEMED A TRIPLE PERSONAL.
Ciergyman's Particular Reason for
 Quitting the Fifth Verse.

A clergyman in an interior town married a woman from whom he re- ceived a dowry of $10,000 and pros pect of more. Shortly afterwards, while occupying the pulpit, he gave out a hymn, read the first verse and proceeded to read the fifth, com mencing:
 Forever let my grateful heart, v then he hesitated and exclaimed: "The choir will omit the fifth verse Some of the congregation read the verse for themselves and smiled as they read:
 Forever let my grateful heart
 His boundless grace adore, Which gives ten thousand blessings now
 And bids me hope for more.

The Little Girl and the Donkey.

The four-year-old daughter of a Washington man not long ago saw donkey for the first time. She talked to her father a good deal touching the unusual sight. It was dear donkey, 1t was a lovely donkey" etc, etc. Soon the child exhausted her stock of adjectives.
 And so you liked the donkey, did you?" asked the fond parent
 "Oh, so much, daddy" returned the youngster. That is, liked him pret- ty well. But I didn't like to hear him donk. k."-Lippincott's

The Great Battle of the Aqe.

While our organization is yet in it's fin a great warfare, but we have al ready made manifest some ot our strength. yet in the near future we shall see more of our manhood than ever before.
 All the by-gone struggles and seiges are only stepping stones to the golden future, which will so outshine the past that it will be a crown of glory in the history of the grand old F. E. and C. U. of A.
 Since man has lived upon the earth many great and trying questions have been settled Some by sharp debates in congress, some by political cam paigns. and still others by great and decisive battles in which hundreds and even thousands of human lives were sacrificed
 Today one of the greatest conflicts between man and man, which has never reached final settlement, is the strife between the producer and he manufacturer, or more generally speak ing. between capital and labor
 Nation after nation, as t advanced in the scale of civilization, has dealt more or less in such conflicts. We regret very much that we today are forced to be thus engaged, but we, the producers and sons of toil have en- tered our complaint against the capi- talist, contending that our rights have benn trampled under foot and that we are not receiving a sufficient or re- munerative return for the product of our labor.
 Out of such charges there has arisen q bitter antagonism The lines are now more clearly and tightly drawn than ever before. and while you may not yet see and understand how peace and prosperity Is within your grasp, we can see with prophetic eye the coming trasformation in which pres, ent conditions will be changed and power of the long intruding antagonist crushed by defeat, and the gates or new commercial system opened unto us.
 The regiments of our army are now great, but ere they pass over the dark ravine We trust that you who have not yet joined our ranks may see ana realize that this great fight is for you and that it is your duty to fall in line and help to continue the storming or the breastworks of the enemy unul our cause shall not only be recognized but until complete victory Is perchea upon our banner.
 I ask you to understand. II you please, that the issues involved in this great conflict are not to be laughed at nor cast aside with a smile.
 There are great problems to be solved and the great question will De settled and in the right manner. May the final and decisive struggle De bloodless operation.
 We, the laborers in this Southlahu' can count on our millions ot men, while the other side can boast 1T US millions of money. So it is plainly evi- dent and easy to see that this famous conflict is one of man against money or small army with great resources arrayed against a numberiess army with limited resources at present
 During these disputes justice mas and is still suffering many an unjust
