tie goody, goody whoswants to please
everybody and neverA pleases anybody
not even his own little self, will say
no, am just like you. don't ap
prove of it at alll They voted the
! thing over us. But | am not in favor
OF it at all This little non.compos
/ mentum is not worth mentioning onl,
you vii know him when you meet hin
it you happen to hear him talk twice
to two different parties on the same
question. Now isn't he d dandy In
/ fact there are so many different kind,
but luckily not many of a kind
shan't for economy of space call your
attention to but one other
Now for all the above mentioned ex.
cept the first two. | feel sorry that
the union is burdenen with such. But
for one more and the last specimen
| to be mentioned. am afraid to say
with what regard he is held by ALL In
convention he will fall in line with
the majority and speak, rant and ca
wort in favor OF what is up and swear
by all that is good and holy that he
will stand his ground regardless of ev
erything and everybody, and as soon as
the hall door closes behind him he
shuts up like a clam and nobody on
the outside never knows how he stands,
and from his actions no one would
ever suspect he was even member Of
any order.
And oh yes, there IL another little
fellow Tho says 1T can't be. done,
Somebody give him bottle with a
nipple on il, he needs his mamma.
SO let me repeat, elect none but
those who do things and are not afraid
Of criticism, and whose obligation
means something to them. With these
in their proper places and you IN yours,
doEEIg your duty, the world and the
devil cant keep US from accomplish
ing our purpose.
The order is not dead nor dying, no,
never. The opportunities offered and
the benefits to be enjoyed through the
Farmers Union are unlimited. but too
many imagine that the greatest to be
gained is somewhere over yonder, up
at head quarters or is to be handed
down by some of the state or national
officials. This is mistake. They
are there to do and are doing a great
work, but it is entirely up TO the man
who tills the soil to furnish the mate
rial and opportunities for those ofiic-
ers to accomplish much in our behalf,
as see 1t. Let us, as farmers, gel
right at home among ourselves by first
joining the local nearest you then get
your neighbor to join, then make IL
your business to go to every meeting
without fail and If you know more
than the other fellow 90 there and tell
il, if you do not know go and lind out
from some one who does. Get togeth-
er, understand each other and ii you
can I love one another cultivate an in
terest at least IN each other to that
extent that you will lend aid in any
move that will benefit all concerned.
Learn to work along the lines as, ex
pressed in the four letters, H !. IL. and
q, u. OF A learn the full meaning
and intention Of the name.
Educate one another cooperate |
with dne another. study ana practice
economy with one another, exchange !
new IDEAS with one another lend a i
helping hand to one another, especially |
the brother who il down and dscour- |
aged teach him 10 stand up. Encouf4 |
age economy and thriftiness on the /
farm, studys together intensified and |
aiversified farming. Take up the is-
suestF3at are nearest to us, and instead |
af trying to work out our own saliva
tion alone, ask. expect and demand
the cooperation Of all the brethren by
extending all this yourself and it
won t. be long before that will be ourt
stock in trade
Say, Brother Poyall il locking i'm

saia enough Oh haven't SAID anything
But say, Brother Member, don t
larget to help put the best men in
