ANNUAL MEETING
Of AMERICAN
PLOWMEN
National Farmers Union Renders Tn.
selfish Service to Agriculture.

The National Farmers Union will
hold it's annual convention In Lincoln
Nebraska, on September seventh, and
Will round out the eleventh year OF
it's activities In the interest of the
American plowman. When that con-
IGNITION 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 1t covers almost the whole of
the United States and economically
1t 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 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 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,

WORTH KNOWING

Preserve Eggs in Limewater
Now is the time to begin pre-
serving fresh eggs to sell for bet
ter prices in the fall and winter
months. s
Water glass is often used, but
one pound Of air-slacked lime to
five gallons of boiled water will
do just as well and cost much less,
according to M. K. Dickson, OF
the poultry department, Univer-
sity of Wisconsin.
Only clean, fresh eggs should
be packed, and the limewatel
level should be kept about two
inches above the eggs.
1t is best to pack in a common
stone jar and keep it in a cool
dry place.
Eggs which are in a good con
dition when placed in limewatel
have, after six months time, tht

FOR POLITICAL

VISIONAL PRESIDENT WHO
REPRESENTS ORIGINAL REVO.
LUTI O NARY MOVEMENT
AGAINST HUERTA
(By Associated Press. }

Washington, Aug. IA formal
brief on the Mexican situation filed
with Secretary Lansing on behalf Of
Carranza practically asks political
recognition and proposes that Car
ranza's Washington agents meet any
other factions in peace conference.
Authoritative announcement of
the United States view of the Mex.
lean situation has been made which
declares that no military factions
must be in control or will be con-
sidered triumphant; that the real
purpose of the revolution was ac-
complished when Huerta was over
thrown and the recall Of the cienti-
ficos does not enter thae problem
now. The greater portion of Mex
leo Is not at peace, as Carranza
claims to be the case. Fighting con-
tinues in many sections from Te-
hauntepec to the Rio Grande and
from Vera Cruz to Mazatlan. The
first problem to be solved in the res
toration Of peace is to find for pro-
visional president a man who repre-
sents the cause of the original revo-
luton against Huerta, but who does
not necessarily represent any fac
tion now warning.
Carranza's brief, filed by Charles
A. Douglass, says Mexico must have
the cooperation of the United States
and there is reasonable hope, with
the recognition Of Carranza, that
peace will be completed before the
years end. 1t can not come for sew
eral months. however. 1t opposes
Vasyuez Tagle's elevation as pro-
visional president, and to retain the
succession, would de-
feat the revolutions aim.

FOUR GEORGIA LADY
LAWYERS CANT PRACTICE

Atlanta, Aug. I'm connection
with the fight being made at this
session of the legislature for the
right of women lawyers to practice
at the Georfia bar, the interesting
fact has come out that the Atlanta
Law School, the leading institu-
tion of its kind in the state, has
numbered among its graduates no
less than four women during the
past few years.
Mrs. Minnie Anderson Hale, whose
fight for the recognition of women
at the bar hos become a matter of
more than statewide interest, is
one of the graduates. She received
her degree of IL. B. in 1911 and
Immediately made an application
for admission to the bar. Though
her splendid training and conspicu-
Gus ability were recognized, the Pc
tition was denied her because of her
sex. Since that time she has made
repeated efforts every year and
measure in which she is interested
Is now pending in the legislature
In the meantime, however, she has
carried petition to the courts,
based on the laws of the state as
they now exist, and is now before
the supreme court.
Mrs. Georgia NJ. Weaver, who
graduated with Mrs. Hale from the
Atlanta Law School in 1911 is now
practicing law in the
state Of West Virginia.
Miss Agnes Klein, who graduated
this year, is engaged in insurance
actuarial work.
Mrs. Samuel M. Castleton, who
also graduated this year. Is the wife
of Mr.. Castleton, a we'll known At
lanta attorney.
The fact that women have been
to and graduated from this
high class and representative law
school makes their appeal for the
right to practice lay of general in
