buildings. as they are doing at Willow
Tree alley. The president was dele
gated to confer with the board of Com
missioners regarding the matter.

Since leaving Kent's Hill, he has
held two positions Of high responsible

position was that Of President Of the
Dcaconess Training School at Wash

Women in Lutherville, Maryland.
In June, 1897, he preached the bacca-
laureate sermon at graduation, using
as his subject, What Is Your Life?"
His answer to this question is noble
and shows the fiber Of which his own
life was made. He said. life is a holy
mission. It consists in developing the
grandest and noblest character posi-
BILE and in contributing through it in
the largest degree to the well-being of
the world" His own life has been a
realization of all that these principles

each. All it is necessary for FARMER
to d. to be entitled to all the privileges
| and benefits of the Union. is to pur-
chase one share of stock. There is also
a. State Union made up by the aff1lia-
| ton of the locals, each local having a
director in the State Union and at the
annual meeting these directors are
called together to elect officers and
transact any other bushes that may
be necessary. This makes corpora
ton of all the local unions in the
State.
AS the work Of the Farmers Union
progresses we can see a chance for the
consumers to derive great benefits II
they will cooperate with the producer.
and in no other way can the high cost
of living be reduced, but the consum
ers must do their part by organizing
with the farmers and have distributing
stations in the city to which the prod
ucts of the farm may be sent to be de-
livered to the consumer by the proper
management, then after the expenses
are paid whatever is left can be given
as a dividend to stockholders they to
be made up Of both producers and con-
sumers. In this way the farmer can
secure living price for his products
and the consumer can get better and
fresher supplies at a reasonable price.
Statistics show now that the farmer
receives only 80 cents Of the consumers
dollar. just think Of it! At a low es-
timation the products shipped cut of
this State bring 100000 900 and out Of
this large amout the farmer only re-
ceives $50. 000. 900, 70 cents Of the dollar
or $70,000.000 is used up between the
producer and the consumer III
II 1t can be brought about (and II
CAM that the farmer will receive s15.-
O00.o more and cut the price to the
consumer $15,000, 900 annually this would
still leave $4o.000.o0 or 40 cents of the
dollar to do business On and I am not
so sure that 1t cannot be done less than
that. The average consumer has an
idea the farmers are getting rich judg-
Ing by the rate he, the consumer. is
paving for food but this is not so.

OF what has been going on:
