GIVE FARMER SAME CHANCE
Distiller Is Allowed to Store His Prod.
uct Without Prepayment Of Tax,
Why Not Cotton Grower?

Article in our paper, writes e. l.
Brobster of Madison, Ca, in National
Field, putting the responsibility of
failure of congress to pass measures
to relieve the cotton farmers, on our
southern members of congress, is as
true as Holy Writ. All the N. W.
members that we have incidentally
met have expressed a willingness to
advocate and support any reasonable
plan introduced.
The farmers and country merchants
should spot every public officer, from
constable up, who has not been lend
ing his help, or who has opposed the
relief measures, and see to it that he
is left at home the next time he wants
them to give him an easy job with
big pay.
We are not living in the past, we
are face to face with financia, ruin,
and homeless and breadless wives and
children. It is not what you did in
the past, but what are you doing
now.
II the government would give us
the same showdown 1t gives the dis
tiller, 1t would put cotton I'D to Is
cents, or over, in less than thirty days.
1t lets the distiller put his barrel of
whisky in warehouse; on this
whisky is due SLIP per gallon tax
equal to forty or fifty dollars barrel,
and waits on him from one to eight
years for the tax, without interest or
storage. When the whisky comes
from the still, the distiller could not
sell 1t for the cost Of the corn, so
he lets 1t stay in a warehouse from
one to ten years. and then sells it for
$3.50 or $500 per gallon.
When he puts his whisky in the
warehouse, the government gives him
a receipt which any bank will take as
collateral. Why can't the govern
ment take my bale of cotton and ad-
vance me fifty to sixty dollars, and
give me two years to redeem 1t at 4
per cent interest, and give me a re-
ceipt that I can use as collateral? Is
not my bale of cotton as good collat-
eral as the other fellows barrel of

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get large bottle of the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does 1t so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy

CLEAVE TO FARMERS UNION
national Field" Urges Farmer to Not
Become Discouraged But Stand
by the Organization.

The National Field, the National or
gan of the Farmers union, in an edi-
torial headed, "An Appeal to Your
common Sense" says:
Strength comes Of unity of pur-
pose and cooperation. A dozen men
may accomplish things impossible for
the individual
With Europe at war we are to see
tremendous changes and readjust-
ments in this country. Changes anG
realignments are coming in every ave.
hue of human endeavor. When peace
at last comes to the ruined and torn
nations of the old world we must feed
and provide them with the things to
remake their own national lives.
And above all else, Europe will
need and demand then, as it is de-
handing now. that which the farmer
produces, his wheat, corn, sugar, cot
ton and other food supplies for man
and beast
Therefore, my brother, say to you
in solemn and deadly earnestness,
that if there ever was a period in your
life when cooperation in your own
ranks was vital to your welfare. 1t is
now.
The Farmers union has stood the
test Of the years. It has made its
mistakes, for it is human to err; it
has been through the fire and has
been purged of the dross, the drones.
In living, vital, powerful forces and
principles, it is today the greatest or
ganization of farmers in the worlds
history.
In conservation, in,men Of character,
in grasp of the problems of the men
who toll in the fields, the Farmers
union is today a more potent force
than ever before. And with the dawn
of a great era just ahead, this coop
Grafton and drawing together of forces
means the coming of the day when
you reap the full toll of your toll
1t can be gained for the farmer Of
Georgia, of Nebraska, Of Maine, Of
Oregon. only by unity Of action. by
combined and unbroken front to the
discouraged and drawing from the
Farmers union you should stick closer
than ever; and bring your neighbor
into the fold.
You see organization all around.
The banker from whom you borrow, Is
organized; the man who makes your
fertilizer. your shoes, your clothes,
who handles your cotton after you
produce it, who buys your corn, your
hay, your potatoes. after you pro-
duce them.
Don't you know the only way you
can meet him on his own fighting
ground, and win is by organizing and
working together? You know, or
should know by now, that you cannot
expect much from the politicians
except promises, which are forgotten
as soon as the election is over.
The Farmers union teaches you to
unite in both buying and selling
unity Of purpose. We don't want the
self-seeker, the drones or those who
want to use the organization to help
their own selfish ends.
But we do want the honest. hard
working farmer, whether he runs one
pillow or a thousand. We know he
will be benefited by uniting with the
Farmers union. We know the organi-
cation will gain in power ana effec-
tiveness by his presence and co-opera-
ton.

The torpedo, equipped with a net
cutter and with an effective radius OF
10,700 yards, has been perfected at the
navy torpedo station at Newport.
The best long range torpedo owned
by any nation is one which is effective
at about three and one-half miles,
while the new United States torpedo
has an effective range of six miles.
Such a torpedo will be of incalcu-
