ANNUAL MEETING
Of AMERICAN
PL0WMEN
National Farmers Union Renders Unr
selfish Service to Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford.

The National Farmers Union will
hold its annual convention in Lincoln
Nebraska, on September seventh. and
will round out the eleventh year of
its activities in the interest of the
American plowman. When that con-
vention is called to order every farm
er in America should pause and bow
his head in honor of the men gath
cred there to render a patriotic and
unselfish service to agriculture. That
organization, born in the cotton fields
OF Texas, has grown until geograph-
ically it covers almost the whole Of
the United States and economically
it deals with every question in which
the welfare of the men who bare
their backs to the summer sun are
involved. 1t has battled for a better
marketing system, rural credits, cheap
money, diversification, scientific pro-
duction, agricultural legislation and
has carried on its work of education
and cooperation in season and out.
The Farmers Educational and Co.
operative Union Of America brings
the question of organization squarely
before every farmer in this nation.
Without organization the farmers can
neither help themselves nor be helped
by others and through organization
and systematic effort all things are
possible.
The farmers of the United States
contribute more and get less from
government than any other class of
business. They have better securities
and pay a higher rate of interest
than any other line of industry They
market more products and have less
to say in fixing the price than any
other business and they get more
political buncombe and less construc-
tive legislation than any other class
Of people. The farmers can only &C.
quire such influence in business, in
government and in economics as will
enable them to share equitably the
fruits of their labor through organiza-
ton and every farmer on American
soil who desires to help himself and
his fellow plowmen should rally
around the Union.

MEANING OF "H0RsE POWER"
Simple Manner by Which the Now Fa.
miIiar Term Was First Brought
= Into Use.

The use Of the horsepower" as a
measure Of an engines work came.
naturally from the fact that the first
engines were built to do work which
had formerly been performed by
horses. John Smeaton, who built at
mospheric engines before Bolton and
Watt placed their more complete ma
chine on the market, had valued the
work done by a strong horse as equal
to lifting weight Of $4,000 pounds
one foot high minute. When Bolton
and Watt began to bid for public IA
vor. they agreed to place their en-
gines for 'the value Of one-third part
Of the Goals which are saved in its
use." They also increased the value
Of the horsepower to $4,000 foot
pounds, so that their engines were
half again as powerful for their rated
power as those of their competitors.
In this way they established the value
Of the horsepower. The following are
the various values of horsepower:
Thirty-three thousand foot-pounds
minute. $50 foot-pounds a second, g.
565 thermal units an hour, 4275 ther-
NAL units minute. The horsepower
Of a boiler depends on its capacity for
evaporation. The evaporation of 80
pounds Of water from 100 degrees
Fahrenheit into steam at seven pounds
gauge pressure equals 34k pounds,
and at 212 degrees Fahrenheit is equiv
alent to horsepower.

Our First Naval Hero.

The first naval hero of the United
States-now almost forgotten-was
Jeremiah O'Brien, Maine man,
whose racial descent is clearly indi-
Gated by his name. He commanded
an American vessel in the first naval
battle of the revolution, which was
fought near Machias, Me-, June IL,
ITS. Some little time before an Eng
lish schooner, the Margranetto, was
at Machias, and a number Of the peo-
pie of the town, led by jeremiah
O'Brien and Benjamin Foster, con-
spired to capture her. The attempt
was successful, and with O'Brien in.
command, the Margranetto made a
voyage to the Bay Of Fundy. An Eng
lish schooner and tender were sent
out to look for the Margranetto, and
when O'Brien returned to Machias he
found them awaiting him. The first
naval battle Of the United States was
fought then and there, and O'Brien
and his men added the schooner and
tender to their prizes.

MAJESTY OF SEA REVEALED

Working Wrought Iron.

In paper read before the Society
Of Chemical Industry the statement
was made that the strength of cast
iron was affected by the addition of
wrought iron in the following proper.
tions: With 100 parts of cast iron 10
parts Of wrought iron increases the
strength 2 per cent; 20 parts OF
wrought iron increases the strength
80 per cent; 80 parts of wrought iron
increases the strength 60 per cent; 40
parts Of wrought iron increases the
strength only SO per cent. The max.
mum result is therefore produced
with 30 per cent wrought scrap.

POLITICAL GossIPs

When one class of people has any
thing to say, it has become largely
the custom to make a political issue
out of 1t instead of friendly discus
sion, to print it in a law book instead
OF newspaper and to argue 1t be-
fore jury instead of to settle 1t in
the higher courts of Common Sense.
AS a result, political agitators. polit-
ical lawyers, political preachers and
masculine women are powerful in
politics and dissension, selfishness, in
tolerance and Mysteries run rampant
In public affairs, for when the low,
damp, murky atmosphere of misun-
derstanding envelops public thought
it breeds political reptiles, vermin,
bugs and lice which the pure air of
truth and the sunshine of understand.
ing will choke to death.
We have too many self-appointed
interpreters Of industry who are in
capable of grasping the fundamental
principles of business and who at best
can only translate gossip and add
color to sensational stories. No busi-
ness can stand upon error and might
rules-right or wrong. No industry
can thrive upon misunderstanding,
for public opinion is more powerful
than Kings sword.
When prejudice, suspicion and
class hatred prevail, power gravitates
into the hands Of the weak. for dema-
gogues thrive upon dissension and
statesmen sicken upon strife.
The remedy lies in eliminating the
middleman-the political gossip-and
this result can be accomplished by
the managers of business sitting
around the table of industry and talk
ing 1t over with the people. Inter-
change Of information between indus
tries and the people is as necessary
to success in business as interchange
in commodities, for the people can
only rule when the public under
stands. Away with political interpret
ers who summon evil spirits from
their prison cells and loose them to
prey upon the welfare of the people
in the name Of my Country"
