That's Rieht: Let 'Em Run Ii

It seems that of all the most foolish things we have ever heard. the most foolish is that a member of the Farm CTS Union had a right to open his mouth about any political question. Now, the idea of a man trying to claim his rights as free-born American citizen, We must not discuss any DO litieal subjects for educational pur- poses, or for any other reason. We must simply pass our resolutions, but leave the law-making and executing of the laws to the other fellows-they are smart, we are not; they know what the law ought to be, We don't: we might pass a law that would help US, and keep them from sucking the public treasury and cause political etir. leave that to them; it's their business. All we have to do is to pay the bills let them make the bills. They dont make them according to the constitu- tion every time, but what difference is it? They can call special sess on It doesn't cost but $50,000 eXtra- and change their laws to suit. We must not monkey with politics! Why, that would be trespassing on the rights Cf others; as for us, well-We needn't have any rights-just go on and re- solve, but don't say politics; don't say country schools; don't improve ths county roads; don't diversity your crops-but go right on in the same old ruts and be happy and forever more contented.-The Farmers and Union Guide.

No other medicine has been so successful in relieving the suffering of women or received so many gen. uine testimonials as has Lydia F.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 In every community you will find women who have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound. Almost every one you meet has either been hene. fted by it, or has friends who have.
 In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, any womaHany dayma see the files containing over one mil lion one hundred thousand letters from women seeking health, and here are the letters in which they openly state over their own sigma lures that they were cured by Lydia k. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved many women from surgical operations.
 Lydia E. Pinllham's Vegetable Compound is made from roots and herbs, without drugs, and is whole some and harmless.
 The reason why Lydia K. Pink hams Vegetable Compound is so successful is because it contains in- gredients which act directly upon the feminine organism, restoring it to healthy normal condition.
 Women who are suffering from those distressing ills peculiar to their sex should not lose sight of these facts or doubt the ability of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to restore their health.

FARMERS EDUCATIONAL
 kkD COOPERATIVE UNION - 0F AMERICA
Just Keeps on Growing.
. OF AMERICA -

Taking everything into considera- ton that was brought to bear on the farmers to force them to part with their cotton, and the brave fight tEey have made to control the price against the fearful odds is certainly something to be admired, The farm CTS are fast gaining recognition in the business world and the Farmers Union is responsible for 1t. There was a time, and not very long ago, either, when to speak of organizing the farm CTS for business purposes would pro yoke a sheer or uncomplimentary re- mark from some one, but that time is past The farmer has been organized and he is sticking and he hasn't gone into politics, either. Of late we have made it point to interview some par ties who have made a study of the cotton market, and they were men Of experience, and they all agree that the movement inaugurated by the Farmers Union to hold cotton and market slowly has held up the price of cotton this season and saved the south from 8 to $15 per bale. Certain papers told us last fall that the farm. CTS east of the Mississippi river waHa selling their cotton as fast as they gathered it, and we fellows here iu Texas were foolish for holding cottol and trying to control the market. Nov these fellows were smart-they even admitted that they were-but they were as ignorant as donkey regari- ing the cotton situation, as they were trying to mislead the farmers. Invcs- tigation proved that farmers east of the Mississippi river were holding q larger per cent of their cotton thau Texas farmers. So, boys, get you
 information from headquarters. Heed not the posted" fellow.-J. A Cole man, in Greenville (TeXJ Banner.

LEARN TO GRADE COTTON,
So That You May Know What You
 Sell

sell,
 Congressman Albert Burleson of Texas has a bill pending in Congress to instruct and direct the National Az ricultural Department to appoint a commission of experts to prepare a table of grades for cotton, not to ex- ceed thirteen in number, these thir- teen grades. middling being the basis, to be the official ruling and legal grades in all cotton sales and trans actions
 President Roosevelt, in his message tC the Congress when it met ill regular session last December, recommended the enactment of a law establishing an official and legal grade table for grain, and what is right, proper and good for grain is right, proper and good for cot ton. The principles involved are lden- tical and the necessities in the one in- stance are as imperative as in the other
 Every market has it's own tables and systems of grading farm products sold by grade and every buyer has his sys- tems and methods, all of them wholly one-sided and arbitrary and rendering the producer defense'ess to save him self from being imposed upon, if any one should be desirous of taking ad- vantage of him. It certainly seems to be emnently fair and just that the government should fix legal systems that cannot be deviated from nor | 1,a Nv tho n1pnt f self, the power creating them.
 How many grain growers, how many cotton raisers, old or young, can sam pie and grade their products? Are they not always at the mercy of the buyer, whoever or whatever they may be. as to the quality of their goods? A farmer would be ashamed of himself if he couldn't examine horses mou and tell it's age: look over it's body an limbs and detect all it's blemishe spavins, windgalls, etc, or tell abot it's eyes; CT be ignorant O. the things he should know when he went to buy milch cows, or beef cattle, or hogs. Then, why should be be ignorant oi the quality of his wheat, or corn, or oats. or cotton?
 The Farmers Union saw the point early in it's life and began the move ment to educate it's young men along these lines and established cotton grading schools in the South. Now we see the business colleges advertising ? cotton-grading department in their courses of study. Really, the agricul- tural colleges of the States should teach these things. Through the eff forts of National President c. s. Bar fett the agricultural college of Georgia has added the grading of cotton to its curriculum Every agricultural col lege has it's textile department, and the grading of cotton could readily be made a part of the course of learning in these departments. Each one O, these colleges also teaches it's studente how to grow grains, and it would be very easy to add how to grade them. Especially will it be easy for these col loGe2. tor taa hns;::.:25s colleges and fo' the Farmers Union cotton schools to teach these things if the government will establish fixed grades so that ing the same ng.-Co-Opefator.

I think more of us farmers oaght to raise more corn. wheat, oats, rye, peas and hay than so much cotton. Then We could get something for our cot ton. think we ought to set our price on our cotton and produce and keep t at home until we get our price, and say nothing about the price; keep it in the Union.

Why. yes. it is likely that there is a cotton holding trust all fixed up among the cotton raisers.

Farn1inu Is An Intricate Business.

Don't laugh at the farmer who is thinking of buying an automobile. He is simply leading where you will soon be following.
