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 it instead of friendly discus
sion, to print it in law book instead
Of a newspaper and to argue it be-
fore jury instead of to settle it in
the higher courts of Common Sense.
As a result, political agitators, polit-
zeal 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 envelopes 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 bust
ness can stand upon error and might
rules-right or wrong. No industry
can thrive upon misunderstanding
for public opinion is more powerful
than a 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 it 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"

INSPIRATION OF
THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford.

When you enter the agricultural de-
partment of the county fair, you feel
your soul uplifted and your life takes
on new power-that is the inspira-
ton of the soil. You are overpowered
by the grandeur and magniicence of
the scene-that is the spirit of the
harvest. You can hear the voice of
nature calling you back to the soil
that is opportunity knocking at your
door. 1t is good chance to spend
quiet hour in contact with the purity
and perfection of nature and to sweet
en- your life with its fragrance, elevate
your ideals with its beauty and expand
your imagination with it's power.
These products as food are fit for
the gods, and as an article of COM
merce they ought to bring tip-top
prices on any market in the world.
The products of the soil are teachers
and preachers as we'll Their beauty
gives human life its first entertain
ment, their perfection stirs the genius
In artists; their purity furnishes mod
els for growth of character and their
marvellous achievements excite our
curiosity and we inquire into the won
derful process of nature.
Before leaving the parlor of agricul-
ture where nature is parading in her
most graceful attire and science is
climbing the giddy heights of perfec-
ton, let US pause and take a retro
spective view. How many Of you
know that after these wonderful prod
ucts are raised, they can seldom be
marketed at a profit? Take the blush
ing liberia, for example-they were
fed to the hogs by the carload last
year. The onion-the nations favorite
vegetable year rots by the
acre in the Southwest for want Of a
market and as a result hundreds of
farmers have lost their homes. Cot
ton-nature's capitalist-often goes
begging on the market at less than
cost of production. ,-az- ..s.s.z..

exhibits while the band is playing
Dixie" and boast of the marvellous
fertility of the soil and pride ourselves
on our ability to master science, but
it is also well to remember that there
is market side to agriculture that
does not reflect its hardships in the
exhibits at a county fair.

UNIVERSAL PEACE

This nation is now in the midst of
a controversy as to how best to pro
mote universal peace. That question
we will leave for diplomats to dis
cuss, but peace within nations is no
less important than peace between
nations and it is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and ofttimes
political platforms have declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted. Many men have stood
in high places and hurled ''gas bombs"
at industry; thrust bayonets into bus
mess enterprises and bombarded az
riculture with indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken dip
lomatic relations with industry; sent
political aviators spying through the
affairs of business, and political sub
marines have sent tOrpedoes crushing
into the destiny of commerce. Dur
ing the past quarter Of q century we
have fought many a duel with prog
ress, permitted many politicians to
carry on a guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point a pistol at the
heart Of honest enterprise.
No man should be permitted to cry
out for universal peace until his rec
ord has been searched for explosives,
for no vessel armed or laden with
munitions OF war should be given a
clearance to sail for the port Of Uni
yersal Peace. Let US by ali means
have peace, but peace, like charity
should begin at home.

ANNUAL MEETING
Of AMERICAN
PLOWMEN
National Farmers Union Renders Un-
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
unself1sh 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, diyersi1cation, scientific pro-
duction, agricultural legislation and
has carried On it's 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 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 construe-
tive legislation than any other class
of people. The farmers can only ae,
quire such influence in business, in
government and in economics as will
enable them to share equitably the
fruits Of their labor through crganiza-
ton and every farmer on American
soil who desires to help himself and
his fellow plowmen should rally
around the Union.

A VISITING nurse found this old
"a lady dying of tuberculosis in ex-
tremely poor surroundings. There
was no one to care for her except her
old crippled husband, and there was
not sufficient money to provide good

know how to make his wife comfOrta-

ed in the case, SO that fresh bedding
and food were provided Frequent

as comfortable as possible in her last

she might have been a menace to her
neighbors.
