UNION CITY. Ga, Feb. 15.-''Work

statement issued today by President c..
union. His statement follows:
To the Officers and Members Of the
Farmers Union:
Did you ever hear the good. old ex-
horters and revivalists tell you that you
must work out your own salvation?
Well, the same principle applies TO sue
cessful farming, and to the success Of
farmers organizations in securing the
reforms for which they are contending
by legislation, and with their own ranks
There's no such thing as enlisting in
the battle of life and then paying sub
stitute. If you do, you'll either have to
be satisfied with short rations, or wake
I'D some morning and find that the sub
stitute has walked off with the bacon.

wreath. It would be just like you, then,
to growl that the world had given you
"cold deal"
lay it down as a broad, first prin-
ciple, that we've got to learn toTInanage
our own affairs, whether on the farm or
within the organization, before the
world takes us with the degree of seri-

If you demand of your representative

or trimming the New York Cotton Ex-
change, and he passes your place and
sees the chimney tumbling down, weeds
in your fields, and just few razor

If you elect as your Farmers union
officials, or the president of some union

MAKING GOLD PENS.
The Metals That Are Used and the
Process of Manufacture.

The Metals That Are Used and the
Process of Manufacture.
The tiny tip Of white metal seen on
the under side of the point of gold
pen may be of platinum, but it is more
likely to be iridium. Iridium is very
hard metal, and it is expensive. 1t
costs about four times as much as gold.
The purpose Of the iridium tip is, of
course, to give the pen a more durable
point.
The gold pen maker buys his gold at
the assay Office in bars of pure "a carat
gold, which he melts and alloys with
silver and copper to the degree OF fine
ness required. Gold of IA carats Is
used in the manufacture Of the best
American gold pens, that being the de-
gree Of fineness deemed most suitable
for pen use, but good pens made In
this country for sale in France are
made of 18 carats, the French govern
ment requiring that all articles exposed
for sale in that country as made OF
gold shall be of not less than 18 car
ats.
The gold from which the pens are tc
be made is rolled and rerolled until
what was originally thick, heavy bal
of gold has been rolled into thin golC
ribbon about three feet in length by
four inches wide. Then this gold rib
bon is put into a machine which
stamps out of it pen shapes, all still
fiat. Then on the top Of each OF thes'
pen shapes is fused the iridium point
and then the shapes go to Sitting
machine, which cuts the slit in th'
pen, From the Sitting machine th'
pens go through another, which give
them their rounded, familiar pen form
and then the pens are ground and pol
ished" and finished ready for use.
American gold pens in fountain pens
or as dip pens are sold in every coun
try in Europe in competition with pen'
Of British or of German manufacture
and under the same competition the!
are sold throughout the world in Soutl
America, Africa, Japan, China, wher
ever pens are used.-New York Sun.

SILENT MEN.
WaIienstein, Who Never Smiled, was

WaIlenstein, Who Never Smiled, Was
the Most Dramatic Of All.
Washington's reserve made him
stiff, formal and i'll at ease in compa-
nv, but it also prevented his plans
from being betrayed to the enemy and
the country from being deceived by
his promises.
william the Silent was frugal OF
words, because reserve that conceal
ed his designs, even from those acting
with him, was necessary to the inde-
pendence Of the Netherlands.
The most dramatic Of silent men
was Wallenstein, the antagonist OF
Gustavus Adolphus and the comman-
der of the emperor's armies in the
Thirty Years war. He insisted that
the deepest silence should reign around
him. His officers took care that no
loud conversation should disturb their
general. They knew a chamberlain
had been hanged for waking him with
out orders, and an officer who would
wear clanking spurs is the command
er's presence had been secretly put to
death. In the rooms of Wallenstelns
palace the servants glided as If phan-
toms, and dozen sentinels moved
around his tent charged to secure the
silence the general demanded. Chains
were stretched across the streets and
roads in order to guard him against
the disturbance Of sounds. Wallen-
stems taciturnity and love Of silence
that caused him to be irritated at the
slightest noise was due to his consti-
tutional temperament. He never
smiled, he never asked advice from
any one, and he could not endure to
be gazed at, even when giving an or
der. The soldiers when he crossed
the camp pretended not to see him
knowing that a serious look would
bring them OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
