FARMER SHOULD JOIN UNION
There Is More Education in II Than
Anything Else Under the Sun,
Says Arkansas Man.

| am a Farmers Union man, and
why all farmers don't join is a mys-
terry to me. When we started this
great organization there were lots of
farmers said: 81 am in sympathy with
you all and will join it as soon as see
It is doing good" Now, brother farm
ers, you are bound to go back on your
word or help fight this battle, writes
R. Hardin of Holland, Ark, in Co.
Operator. We have made thousands,
yes, millions of dollars to the south,
but can multiply this fact if all will
help fight for our rights. That is all
that we want Have We got that?
say no. Why have we not got it? The
bankers caused a panic in "a hours.
Why was that so quickly done? Just
simply because they we're organized as
close as they were. Now, let us sup
pose we would organize as close as they
we're, We would burst every panic in a
week or less. Come now farmers all
who are looking on and doing nothing
10 help us in this struggle. Ask your.
self, is it right for us to get all this
benefit and not do hands turn?
think sure you will say mo, no." | am
ashamed | have been benefited so much
as | have and fought against our in
terests. | want TO tell you you can't
say you have never been benefited, and
II is a cowardly shane for the farmers
to let every other class do more than
We do. When We first have the weapon
In our hands and throw it down, we
will sup sorrow, just as sure as we
don't stick. We will regret the day we
tailed to do it. Farmers ask yourselves
II the world is organized? You are
bound to say yes. Then ask yourselves
who is it against the farmers? Of
course then is 1t reasonable that we
can win the victory with a popgun
when cannon is In front of us? |
think not. hear farmers say: 81 can
raise cotton at ten cents" Poor fellow,
be needs a double dose of education In
the Farmers union. Farmers is 1t right
for you to keep up four drones that
don't work a lick? You are doing this
as sure as you live. Now let us sup
pose awhile. Say farmer had phone
In his house and wagon manufac-
turer 400 miles away had the other
end Of the phone line, can't you talk
through to him? Yes, of course. Well,
Is there good sense in paying four 9TH
er men double our profit to set be-
tween us and this wagon factory and
tell us what we can get a wagon for,
or anything else? Isay no, no. But VIZ
have done this so long some think we
would not understand what the factory
man would say. | know, farmer, II
you did understand what us union men
are doing and what we can do, you
would join US if we had two bull dogs
tied at the door, so come right along,
farmers, and join your organization.
It will do you good and your children.
There is more education in 1t than
anything under the sun.

GUILTY Of MURDER
IN FIRST Degree
jury's Verdict In Case Of Ph5Ips,
Who Killed Sheriff Raskirs

Greenfield, Mass. Dec. 5.-Silas
n. Phelps Of Monroe was found guilty
of murder in the first degree in caus-
ing the death Of Deputy Sheriff En-
NETT F. Haskins of Cnarlemont last
June. Haskius went to the Phelps
home to arrest Phelps on a charge o.
sta5bing William Penman and was
shot as he mounted the stairs to the
attic where his quarry was in hiding.
The jury retur2ed the verdict after
five hours OF elaboration. AS the
twelve men who had decided his fate
walked into the courtroom Phelps
watched them closely, bat showed n
sign Of emotion. Even the announce
ment that he had been adjudged guilty
CT murder in the first degree had n
apparent effect, and it was not until
some time later, when his wife wen
to his side, that he broke down.
AS soon as the verdict was an
nounced Attorney Davenport, repre-
senting Phelps, asked the court to al
low until Jan 2 for the fling of ex-
ceptiOns. His request was granted
Phelps was then led away to jail.

The Morning Star.

Brightly the morning star was shining
Ger Bethlehem at break of day;
Within a manger rough and damp,
A new born babe with His mother lay.
No servants to attend the child;
No costly robes to him are brought;
But patiently the mother waits,
And grieves not DER this, their lot.
Holy angels from heaven defending,
Come bend DER the cradle where all is
still;
Rejoice and sing. glory to God in the
highest,
For unto men we bring peace and
good will.
Far away the great philosophers.
Called the wise men of the times
Watch and pray for the Saviour's
coming;
In the heavens they have read the
sigrs.
When they saw the star in the east
illuminate the earth,
Went to seek the new born Saviour !;
For it told them Of his birth:
Thew reached the town of Bethlehem +;
Went in the stall, and 10!
Found Jesus Christ, the King of
Glory,
Over nineteen hundred years ago.
The wise men sought that holy child
To worship Him they say;
O that all men might. BE- wise.
And seek and worship Him TODAY.
Jesus is always waiting some soul
From sin to save;
Can we not find and trust Him now?
When His life for us He gave.
Can you not hear Him calling,
Calling back to His fold again,
His weary, wandering children
Whose lives have been blighted by sin.
Can those who have heard how he died
on the cross
With the thorns piercing His brow.
Unheed his tender loving voice,
And betray Him now.
He is with US still, today:
We will not have to go afar,
To find our blessed Saviour,
That ever radiant star.
0 that all hearts might be filed
With that love divine;
And his glorious blessed light,
In our lives forever shine.
And you, dear ones, who have found
your Saviour,
Go today and bring others to Him;
Angels in heaven rejoice and sing
praises
Der every soul that is saved from sin.

VERMONT IN FIRST RANK
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE

Asbestos company, on the property
formerly known as the Tucker proper
ty, has made decided progress IN the
development of its mine and the output
of it's mill, and gives to Vermont the
first rank among the States in the pro-
duction of asbestos.
"The mine is being developed at the
same level on both sides Of proml-
nent serpentine ledge and can readily
be made tributary to the mill by the
same tramway. The fresh exposure
brought to light at greater depth IN
the mass of serpentine by the progress
of the mining shows a large mass of
fair milling rock more or less abun
dainty velned with a good grade of
cross-tib Der chrysotile and locally
crushed and filed with slip fiber of the
same character. The mine is located
on the edge of large mass OF serpen-
tine, which forms prominent bluffs
along the lower slope of Belvldere
mountain and renders economical min
ing possible. ;,
briefly in the report for 1918, has
been somewhat extended and improved
by the introduction Of double cylin-
der rotary dryer of great efficiency, and
I
air separation.
"a new road is completed to the mill,
and the plant is we'll equipped, having
a traction engine and several trucks to
haul the 2O-ton loads of asbestos II
miles to Hyde Park on the railroad
and return with fuel oil for the engine
which furnishes power for the mine
and the mill.
GAS the development of the mine
advances and its production increases,
it is Of special interest to note the
testimony of manufacturers who use
the fiber. The president of one the
largest manufacturing companies
writes, 'We have used many carloads
of the two or three grades produced
by Mr.. Gallagher. Of course, this
property has not yet produced any
grades such as No. l or 2 crude, but
what they do produceEin the way Of
paper stock and long fibre is perfectly
satisfactory and compares very favor
ably with similar grades from Cana
da. ,"

Beware of Sin.

Dear friend, whoe'er you are, beware
Don't reckon sin slight affair;
When His dear Son did bleed and die, +
That God might pardon such as l.
That death on Calvary doth show
The strength of sin, for awful woe.
When Jesus took the sinners place,
The Father must withdraw His face.
Awake poor sinner, thinkest thou
The curse of sin is lighter now?
Repented sin may be forgiv'n,
But cherished sin yet bars from heaven
Since Jesus suffered thus for you,
Come sinner, to yourself be true:
Confess your sin and own Him, Lord
Then shall His name be loved, adored
He II cast your Asin behind His hack,
Supply the grace that you now lack,
Give needed srrength to overcome;
And then provide mansion home.

she had slipped on a banana peel

FOR THE CHILDREN
Which Foot Walks Faster?

You may think this very silly ques.
ton TO ask. but it i.'N't.
If you will take pavement that is
clean and walk briSkIy in the center
you will find before you have gone
fifty yards that you have veered very
much to one side You must not make
any effort. of course. to keep in the
center. but If you will think of some
thing and endeavor TO walk naturally
you will not be able to keep u correct
line. If you lose yourself on an ex-
panse of bleak moorland and walk on
you will describe Il complete circle.
The explanation of this lies in the
propensity of one foot to walk faster
than the other or take Il longer stride
than the other. causing you to walk
to one side.
To make assurance double sure" try
placing two sticks about eight feet
apart; then stand off about sixty feet,
blindfold yourself and endeavor to
walk between them. 1t Is almost i'm
possible.

HIS FIRST YEAR HARD
Taft Had Early Troubles In ohiip
Lie nitIyopb Thara

Taft Had Early Troubles In ohiIip-
pines Before His Triumph There.
1t has been recently called 20 mind
that there has been great similarity
in the experience of President Taft
during the first year of his admins
tration and his experience as gov
ernor general of the Philippines the
first twelve months he was stationed
at the Pacific islands.
That was some ten or eleven years
ago, but it is readily recalled that at
the outset Mr.. Taft seemed to be the
storm center of all the trouble on the
islands. The army was opposed to
the governor general; the civil estab-
lishment resented his coming, and the
natives were emphatically unfriendly.
They made him the subject of de-
risive song, and the Democrats
fought through one campaign point
ing to Taft as the horrible example
of what American rule in the Philip
pines was coming to.
There was no change in the Taft
pOuCy, no ueNldlloH III Tie AdlI
method, but long, long before he left
the islands to become secretary Of
war, Mr.. Taft had won over all oppo-
sition, was toasted by the army,
praised by the civilians, and canoh-
ized by the natives.
The first of Mr.. Taft's years In the
White House was very like his early
Philippine experience, but ne has
shown his strength, his steadfastness,
his fixity of purpose, and the tide
having turned runs strong in his di-
rection.

We all know the story of Dick Whit
tington's cat and the fortune which it
brought to its master. 1t was valu-
able because it was the only cat in
the country to which Dick carried it.
Nowadays cats are anything but
scarce. But that they were not always
so numerous in the British isles is
proved by curious law enacted in
Wales In 93S A. ID. This law fixed
the price of cats according TO age and
quality, beginning with the price of a
blind kitten. 1t decreed. moreover,
that any one who should dare to steal
or slay the cat which guarded the roy
al granary should be punished by the
forfeiture of milk eve. its fleece and
lamb or as much wheat as when pour
ed on the body suspended by its TAIL
the head touching the floor, would
form heap high enough to cover the
tip of the tail.
