blow because the leaders of capital or the speculators 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 Yes, verify 1 say We are worthy of special recognition. Who but the farmer is 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 in the heat of the conflict.
 The cry is of the same order as is heard from the depressed legions or the wage earners. As an illustration we will quote an extract from a 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 it? Why do they hold us in serfage? If we all come of the same father and mother, of Adam and Eve, 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 toll that these men hold their state.,'
 This is one of the many pictures at 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 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 struggle is a step toward the end, and our army even at the cost of many mistakes and blunders, will continue their agita- tion, 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 if 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. R. Burt, Wilton, Ark, in National Co-Operator and Farm Journal.

BOY KEPT SCRATCHING,
Eczema .ae.eu Years-Face Was All Raw-Skin Specialists Failed, But
 Cuticura Effected Cure.

"When my little boy was six weeks old an eruption broke out on his face. l took him to a doctor, but his face kept on getting worse until it got so bad that no one could look at him. His whole face was one crust and must have been very painful. He scratched day and night until his face was raw. Then I took him to all the best specialists in skin diseases but they could not do much for him. The eczema got on his arms and legs and we could not get nights sleep in months. got a set of Cuticura Reme- dies and he felt relieved the first time l used them. l gave the Cuticura Remedies q good trial and gradually the eczema healed all Up. He is now seven years old and I think the trou- ble will never return. Mrs. John G. Klumpp. so Niagara St, Newark, N. J., Oct. 17 and 22, 1907.'

Tune Kermit WhistIed.

MT. w. W. Miller, well-known law yer, tells an aneedote of Kermit Roose- welt, the presidents son.
 T was acting as steward, says Mr. Miller, in some gymkhana races at Oyster Bay few weeks ago, and one of the events was a race in which the contestants had ta ride a given dis tance to certain spot where an equal number of young ladies stood with pencil, paper and envelope. Each rider had to dismount here and whis- tie tune, the lady writing its name down on the paper. She then had to seal it up in the envelope and hand it to the rider, who remounted and finished the race, delivering the en- Velope to the judges stand. The first one in with correct answer won the event
 AS steward l was deputized before the race to write down the name of the tune each entrant would whistle
 What are you going to whistler" I asked young Kermit.
 I'm going to whistle Everybody Works but Father, said the presi- dents son.

General Demand

of the Well-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 com 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 its 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 it's beneficial effects always buy the genuine-manufactu by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

The Great Battle of the Ace.

While our organization is yet in it's in a great warfare, but We have al ready made manifest some Of our strength, yet in the near future we shall see more of our manhood than ever before.
 All the bygone 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 the manufacturer, or more generally speak ing between capital and labor.
 Nation after nation, as it 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 toll. have en- tered our complaint against the capi- talist, contending that our rights have benn trampled under foot and that we are not receiving sufficient or re- munerative return for the product of our labor.
 Out of such charges there has arisen 8 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 transformation in which pres ent conditions will be changed and power of the long intruding antagonist crushed by defeat, and the gates of 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 and realize that this great fight is for you and that it is your duty to fall in line and help to continue the storming of the breastworks of the enemy until our cause shall not only be recognized but until complete victory is perched upon our banner
 I ask you to understand, if 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 be settled and in the right manner. May the final and decisive struggle be bloodless operation.
 We, the laborers in this Southland, can count on our millions of men, while the other side can boast if it's millions of money. So it is plainly evil dent and easy to see that this famous conflict is one of man against money, or small army with great resources arrayed against numberless army with limited resources at present.
 During these disputes justice has and is still suffering many an unjust

EAGER TO WORK Health Regained by Right Food.


 The average healthy man or woman is usually eager to be busy at some useful task or employment.
 But let dyspepsia or indigestion get hold of one, and all endeavor becomes a burden.
 "A year ago, after recovering from an operation" writes Mich lady, my stomach and nerves began to give me much trouble.
 At times my appetite was vora- cious, but when indulged, indigestion followed Other times had no appetite whatever. The food I took did not nourish me, and l grew weaker than ever
 T lost interest in everything, and wanted to be alone. I had always had good nerves, but now the merest trife would upset ne and bring on vio- lent headache. Walking across the room was an effort and prescribed ex- ercise was out of the question:
 T had seen Grape-Nuts advertised, but did not believe what I read, at the time. At last when it seemed as if I were literally starving, began to eat Grape-Nuts
 T had not been able to work for year, but now after two months on Grape-Nuts am eager to be at work again. My stomach gives me no trou- ble now, my nerves are steady as ever, and interest in life and ambition have came back with the return to health"

Non-Union Man Benefits.

I believe that the benefits from the Union have been wonderful, indeed, but 1 believe, too, that it has benefit ted the non-union men more than 1t has the union men, for this reason: The holding of cotton makes the price go up; there is just enough held to keep the price up around II, 12 or 13 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 15 cents, either Yet I 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 ale soon going to have Farmers Union cotton mill in the pro. gressive 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 I haven't space to give the reason why I speak as I do, but I'll just re- mark that I do oppose the so-called warehouse system to the bitter end. The spinners have to have the cotton. it matters not where he finds it. Of course to bulk it up is a good idea, but you can do that at gin lots and save this expense-W. A.
