MEMORIAL DAY
Phil sheridan Post No. is, G. \. X.
il Making Extensive Plans for
Memorial Day, May 30.

Comrades: AS we assemble to dc
honor to the memory of our com
rades who have gone before let our
thoughts journey backward to the
days when they in the prime and
vigor their young manhood stood
shoulder to shoulder with us in de-
Tense Of the flag We love so well and
for the integrity and preservation of
the Union.
Let us guard their graves with sa-
cred reverence and vigilance. All
tnat the wealth and taste of the ma
/ tiOn can add to the adornment of
their graves is but a fitting tribute
to the memory of her slain defend
ers
AS the years roll on our numbers
I grow less, and the little green
mounds of our comrades increase.
Each memorial day requires more
flags and more flowers, and there
are fewer veterans to respond.
Realizing this fact, we extended a
fraternal invitation to the Woman s
Relief Corps, Ladies of the G. A. r.
and Sons of Veterans to unite with
as in paying our tribute of respect
to our departed heroes.
And We do especially invite the
school children, fraternal orders
and the patriotic citizens to join us
in this service and show to the world
that he who dies for his country and
his flag has not died in vain.
The following program has been
arranged by the conference commit
tees, OF which John White is chair
man.

If we had her equipment we could per haps do even better than the expert. This is theory We need the practice after the lessons are over The men may laugh at their samples and failures at first, but no persistent effort at well doing will be without success long, it has been said, and one does not always suf- fer with dyspepsia to discover the truth of it.
 Heaven sends us good meat, but the devil sends us cooks
 For when perfect foodstuffs are mixed with insufferable results we know there is mischief to pay, the cook has to com bat with an evil genius
 Cooking is not necessarily all drudSery This Mrs. Johnson will prove. usuall {, our lessons of the kind have been given by northern. eastern and sometimes Lon don graduates and we defend our own methods because they have the different training, in localities where domestic service has been a long time a part of education and rractice but in Mrs Johr- son we will have a. southern type, whc has adjusted herself to the demands O; the times and equipped herself with the means of training others to the systei, resquisite to reduce labor ana expense making duty a pleasure and cooking a species of fancy work

cluded. One-tenth of a cent a pound is
 merely one point. If it were really pro-
 posed to destroy gambling in cotton by taxation the tax would have to be fixed at at least or 10 cents a pound. One tenth of a cent pound would be paid just as the present liquor revenu tax and tobacco internal revenue taxes are paid, and gambling in cotton would be legalized and licensed just as the to- bacco and liquor businesses have been. With reference to my services as general counsel for the Farmers union during the past four years. I beg to quote from a few of many similar let ters that l have received from Presi
 dent Barrett and Secretary Davis.o On October 22, 1910, National President
 Barrett wrote from from Union City
 Ga, in part as follows: Dear Patten:
 Now, Patten, I am preparing an ar
 ticle for the brethren on the tricks and
 schemes of politicians, so you see what
 I want Please help mo out. l know
 you know just how they manipulate things in Washington" And on July l.
 last that is, 1913. National President
 Barrett wrote me from Union City, Ga.
 in part as follows: Brother Patten: I
 see the lobby committee is going to
 summon Bowen to appear before it..
 Of course, you know the Farmers union is nou responsible for Bowen's conduct, dnQ l WISH you NOQlu go ONtT lO tHc
 hearing when he is to appear.
 The last question he asked me in Wash
 ington was whether you were our att
 torney. l told him that you were the
 chief counsel of tLc whole shebang."
 On April z, 1913, National Secretary Davis wrote me from Rogers. Ark, his home, at some length closing his let ter with the following lines: "On be- half of the organization and also per- sonally I desire to thank you for the excellent services you have rendered the union. It is indeed rare thing to find a man who is willing to do things for the good of a cause and not for filthy lucre. My experience in this office has been that. most fellows take every occasion to dig into the funds and it is quite pleasure to find one whose standards are higher than few
 cents Enclosed please find voucher and check"
 I think the above gives the two points that I woud like to get to the attention of your readers The first point being that Congressman Hobson
 never has taken any substantial in terest or even taken the time to vote for legislation urged and argued for by the national officials and legisla- tive committee Of the farmers union, whflc on the other hand Underwood has

 THE LEGISLATURE
Atlanta Cotton Man Con- fines Talk at Jackson to
 Economic Subjects

Jackson, Miss, March T-(Speciai ) Tfarvie Jordan of Atlanta was shown dis tinguished courtesy by the Mississippi house of representatives tonight, being invited to address the lawmakers on economic subjects, and good crowd was out to hear him.
 Mir. Jordan told of his visit to Europe last summer as one of a commission ap- pointed by the President to study the condition of the farmers in foreign na- tions especial attention being given to their finances. He found them borrowing all the money they needed at very low rate of interest and on long time--1o to oo years-and repaying principal and interest as is done with building and loan associa- tions in this country, with land as secur- ity, and which is considered better than government bonds based on the credit of the government.
 He found some of the countries of Europe not only producing all they nced- ed to feed their own people. but export ing millions of dollars worth to the Uni- ted States where the farms did not pro- duce enough to feed the inhabitants of the country.
 For these and other req sons he argued that farming as a business is on tho down grade in this country, and for which reason Congress was endeavoring to enact legislation that would give them cheap money on land security and asked the states to cooperate in every way possible.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Comparison of Records of Two Men

To the Editor Of The Age-Hera1d:
 Mir. G. T. McElderry. president of the Talladega Fertilizer and Manu- featuring company of Talladega, Ala, charged me in the columns of a cer- published in your city, with unethical conduct In allowing a letter had writ ten to get into the hands of one of your reporters and be published in your issue of February Is. In the last issue of the Advance MT. McElderry pub fishes strictly confidential letters from me, whose confidential character is set forth in the text of the letters, the private letters of third parties and & copy of a letter he wrote me in which he states that he had previously with tial correspondence over to a third party.
 It is difficult to understand why MT. McElderry should have a double stan dard of morality and ethics. one for himself and another for me in this matter, unless such must serve his own selfish ends and please his own greed and avarice above everything else. He attacks me for having merely allowed my lette, to MT. Spinks to get into the newspapers. There was nothing confidential about the SpinlSs letters. My letter to him was my own proper ty. I deny having authorized it's pub lication, however, without Mir SpinlSs' consent. But it's publication has noth- ing to do with the facts about the re- spective records of Underwood and Hob-

always and without exception been
 right on the job. Hobson's failure to vote and failuhe to interest himself in
 the legislative demands of the farmers Is without parallel, while Underwood s record is one of the best, if not the best in the House.
 The other poin, ir the fact that I have been the trusted confident and 1 Legislative advisor of the Farmers ! union for four years and barring my
 Spinks letter. being published by the newspaper without his consent and a. telegram sent two years ago by an as- sistant to State Secretary Faires , nothing has marred the work even
 though many letters have been written
 by me and frequently published by the recipients, disclosing the facts about the legislative attitudes of members of the House and Senate. The reason
 for this has been that there were no
 crooks or rascals eager and bent in suppressing the truth and having their
 selfish way in the very teeth of the
 facts. Sich men as McElderry and
 his Ananias-Judas 1scariot stripe must
 be run out of the Farmers union if
 the organization Is to survive and
