years old at the time of her death,
October q, 1915. She had been a
member OF the SCOTS Creek Bap-

was always consistent. She had

A THING FOR PRIDE

Defending the action of the tax
commission in raising money assess

the attention of the people to a

and shame to the State.

State. He will note that for al

governorship to the humblest pub

that like service is paid for here
far less literally than elsewhere,

The great work that the farmers
of other counties and sections are
accomplishing through the cooper
alive movement of the Farmers
Union. convinces us that an organi-
cation in this county would prove
of value to the farmers, and, in fact
to all of the people of Jackson coun-
ty. in the towns as we'll as in the
rural districts. The first essential
step in the development of COM
munity is to look after the agricul-
tural interests. With the soil in a
high state of cultivation and the
farmers prosperous with the best
markets for their products, the
whole of the people, no matter what
their avocation, must necessarily
prosper. The farmers union is to
the people of. the country what the
boards Of trade and commercial
clubs are to the people of a city,
The counties where the best results
are obtained from the agricultural
interests are those where the farm.

COL. STRIKE ANTICIPATED.
BY Fuel and Iron Company, State
Letters From Bowers.

Chicago. April 24.-Correspondence
between John D. Rockefeller Jr., and
l.. M. Bowers, chairman of the exec
utive department of the Colorado Fuel
& Iron company, was given out here
yesterday by the local field head
quarters of the United States Com
mission on Industrial Relations. The
letters and kilograms relate to the
strike of coal miners in Southern
Colorado and were submitted to the
commission in accordance with a de-
mand made for them at the hearing in
New York, January Is to Feb. 6. last.
The letters from Mr. Bowers to his
superiors in New York emphasized
that the company had anticipated in
dustrial unrest and possible strike by
initiating various reforms, such as the
eight-hoUr day, bi-monthly paydays
and the employment by the men OF
their own check weighman. Mr..
Bowers maintains in the correspon-
dence, that these measures were VOL
untary on the part of the company
and were not forced by the laws of
the state, as was maintained by the
union men.
