MOTOR H0NkS

The toughest part Of the ANTONIO

lose the use OF the car. in addition to
standing the expense for the repairs.
The best grades OF oils and greases
are made better by the addition OF Sc
leeted flake graphite. The big fellows
on the spee1ways have found this out
and about 30 per cent OF them use
graphite lubricants. Il is the addition
OF graphite that reduces friction. II

MARKET REPORTS

Editor Star: Considering the IN
terest that Marion county has in live
stock, / believe it would be a good
scheme for you to give Cincinnati, st.
Louis and Birmingham market re-
ports. IF you can do this, you can say
that you give the best live stock mar
ket reports of any paper in Florida.
The Times-U Union gives Chicago live
stock markets, but Cincinnati and st.
Louis, either, are better hog markets
than Chicago. Most people think Chi
.ago is the market of the United
States, but if you can watch the daily
reports for week, you viii find Gin
cinnati often h-cent per pound better
on hogs than Chicago, and it runs
ahead the yaar through, and we want
to ask Jacksonville to pay the Cincin-
natl prices, less different in freight.
Give this a little thought, and see if
you can't make it a feature you can
brag about and gain in circulation.

FARMERS WILL STAND
BY THEIR FRIENDS
BARRETI'S SENTIMENT AT OPENING
Of CONVENTION IN PALATEA

Palatka, Nov. -"The Farmers
Union will stand by its friends
wherever it finds them, declared
President Charles S. Barrett, address
ing the annual convention of the nat
ional farmers organization which op-
ened here today.
"The Union has never been in par
tisan politics and will not be-. con-
tipued Mr.. Barrett. "Yet right here
you may take it from me that no
amount of partisan lashing shall
drive the Union from the support of
its friends nor force it to sustain its
political enemies. Knowing itself, its
powers and limitations, the Union is
determined to control itself. This
simply means that the Union is not GO
ing to take its orders and directions
from the outside. It means that the
Union is sane, self-sustaining and
self-suficing. 1t will fearlessly and
steadfastly exercise its power for the
betterment of the Union, the produce
ers of life's necessities, and the uplift
of the human race"
Mr.. Barrett warned the Union
against pretended friends "who, when
the important moment comes do not
hesitate to dodge the issue"
AS an indication of the growth of
the Farmers Union during the year,
President Barrett said charters had
been granted to two new state organ
izations, Montana and North Dako-
ia and three others were nearly ready.
Equally important. he pointed out, was
the steady development of the Unions
cooperative business enterprises which
were getting better and more sub
stantial results practically every
where.
IF we would earn more as produc
ers of wealth, we must learn more
as wealth producers" said Mr.. Bar
rett. "We must know enough to CO.
operate to secure and realize the
equitable worth of our work.
Through the efforts of organized
farmers, Mr.. Barrett declared, the ru-
raj free delivery, the parcels post, the
new rural credits law and better ru-
raj schools had been achieved. What
had been accomplished was nothing
he said, to what would be accom-
plished by cooperative effort.
