Cooperation Union Of America,
and in behalf of all true Far

thank you for your able editor

pose and Aim Of the Farmers
Union.
AS you stated, the Durham
County Farmers Union was or
ganized on December 8, 1909.
with five chartered locals, the
least number that a county can
have to form a County Union.
Mr.. j. z. Green, the State or
ganizer was present, and made
an ''open" address, but few peo-
pie outside Of Union men were
present. Judge Sykes and his
court were holding fort when
| the time came for the Farmers
to meet and we sat around the
stove till the "Crier" adjourned
the court. Judge Sykes, the city
editor Of the Herald, the Solicitor
of the court walked out. The
next day, we read in the Herald
the report Of the Recorders
court; but not one single line of
Mr.. Green's speech was reported
but the Farmers Union is not
kicking" on not having its
meetings published in the Herald.

city's papers had rather read
something about what the far

that "Jim Dick" was sentenced

court fori3O days for retailing.

What IT COSTS
TO TRAVEL BY AIR

The expense Of air-shipping steadily
decreases with experience, says a writ
or in the Century. In operating a
trans-oceanic service. one week would
undoubtedly be allotted 70 each Of
forty-eight annual voyages. The cross
ing would take two or three days. En-
gines and ships would be overhauled
after each trip.
Airships of 10000 cubic meters dis
placement would need 10 be refilled
twice q month. A new process for
producing hydrogen makes the inhat-
ing Of ships the size of Zeppelin ~
cost $526, as compared with 1901 a
year ago. Gas drawn from the cham
bers and burned In the motors. to COM
pensate for weight lost by the con-
sumption Of gasoline, would cost S155,
leaving sl9s for the gasoline con-
sumcd. Docking. overhauling and re-
pairing between trips would not ev-

testimony remained mistaken.
Mrs. Mary Davis. matron at the po-

ner testified that they saw marks on

Isabella Barkus and her husband
testified that they passed the store that
night and saw Nordine have the woman
by the throat.
Barkus denied that Alfonzo Ventie or
any one else had given him a horse and
buggy TO testify in the case. He pro-
duced the horse and buggy for which
he paid $26.
In rebuttal the state called John
Copanski who denied he held the wo-

Turnkey Conner said he searched Co
panski when he came into the police
station. but did not find the money or
chain on the man.
