In Excellent Condition.

Secretary G. w. Russell, of the
state division of the Farmers Union,
states that there has been a remark
ably large increase in the number
of new members taken into the or
ganization within the past few
months, and that, as rule they are
men of somewhat above the average
in character. Another noteworthy
features is that many or the old mem
bers who had been behind with
their dues are coming forward with
settlements and placing themselves
in good standing. But on the
whole, Secretary Russell attributes
this more to the business-like me-
thods which have been adopted by
the union, and the increased confid-
ence of the public, in the organi-
zatisn and it's ultimate success.
