Miss Fearless & Co.

The Dixie chapter U. D. @. gave
the public another successful play
on Monday evening, and the patron
age of the people on this occasion
enabled them to raise sufficient
funds to pay all debts and also lay
aside enough to purchase all the
needed iron crosses for veterans
graves, still leaving surplus in their
treasury. The gross receipts were
about $45.Oo. The young ladies
showed most palpably that mem
bers of the male persuasion could
be dispensed with on the stage at
least, the play being conducted en-
ti1ely by the young ladies of the
chapter, and it was interesting and
humorous throughout.

Strong Appeal From President
of National Farmers Union.

To the Officers and Members of the
Farmers Union:
The greatest assets of this coun-
try are not it's mighty commerce,
it's wonderful acreage or Its gold
mines. Supreme above all these
rise the assets of manhood and wo-
manhood. And the boy and girl
of today, too often snubbed and too
seldom studied, are the men and
women of tomorrow.
speak advisedly when say that
never in the history of the republic
hsye opportunities been vaster or
more plentiful than they are in this
year of our Lord, 1912. I know it
is popular to say that the trusts"
and commercialism have stifed COM
petition and muzzled opportunity.
The statement is only a half
truth. l have been from one end of
the country to the other. / have
visited every state. 1 have studied
conditions in practically every city
of importance. 1 have observed
above and below the surface in eve
ry line of trade and industry.
And, as a result, am convinced
that the loudest cry today is for
men and women-not just men and
women, but men and women with
trained ability and character. Across
the front of every vocation of mo-
ment, they ought to erect in big let
ters the sign: MEN AND WO-
MEN WANTED" 1t would be
the absolute truth, provided the
men and women were properly
equipped to answer the advertise
ment.
Do not treat your boy or your
girl simply as private possession,
to be worked in the fields when you
need help, to be yanked out of
school in their most receptive years
in order that you may squeeze a
little money out of the landI Money
won in this way is the dearest
bought imaginable. Money, or ad
vantage of any sort, won at the ex-
pcnse of the men and women of to-
morrow, is blood money. Not only
will the parents themselves pay for
it some day, but the penalty will
also be visited upon the republic in
a weakened citizenship, whether
of husbands or wives, fathers or
mothers.
The old fool adsge runs children
should be seen and not heard" It's
a lie. They should be both seen
and heard. Seen with the eye of
loving, self-sacrifcing intelligence,
heard with the ear with faculties
keen enough to catch the tramp of
posterity, as well as the patter of
today. Unless we follow this
course, we fail in the duties, not on
ly of parenthood, but equally of
common American citizenship.
