grow in every county of the State
if we viii only try. Will you
help? Will you give to the organ
ization a week of your time and
help to bringit it back?
At the recent State Meeting a
committee was appointed to devise
a plan for rebuilding the order
and put it into effect. The plan
is to make of the first week in
January Union Week all over the
State. Devote a week to the good
work of rebuilding.
Many prominent men pledged
their time for the week. Will you
do as much? Won't you devote
that six days to energetic and
earnest effort torebuild the Union?
If ten men in each county will do
this, the Union will have ten thou

Write Miss Emma Smith, State
Secretary at Jackson, right away
and tell her to count on you.
Get in touch with other men in
your county who will help, call
them together and organize for "a

The Road.

| sing you an ode
Of the country road
The lumpy road,
And the bumpy road,
That jolts the wagon and spills
the load;
Mud to the hubs when the rain
comes down,
Filled with ruts when the fields
are brown
And the sun is hot and the air is
dry.
It's clogged with gravel and
packed with sand,
So built and graded and laid and
