LET'S GET BUSY NOW

Hon L. NJ Rhodes, chairman OF
the National Board of the Farmers
Union of America, has been in our
city since Sunday, working for the in
terests of the farmers of Marion cour-
ty, by organizing local unions through.
out the county.
1t has been the earnest desire of
all those interested in this WORK that
we might have a county union, and
thus get lined up in way that
would mean real benefit to the mem
bers. To have a county union re-
quires five locals, and as a result of
Mr.. Rhodes presence we have the re-
quired number, although the merbar
ship is far from what it should be
Mr. Rhodes addresses at the differ
ent points were much appreciated by
those present. and were chuck full of
good. wholesome truths and authentic
information. 1t is a shame that MANY
of the farmers thought themselves too
busy to attend these meetings, for
theirs was the loss. There is one
thing the farmers must do or keep
shaving away with conditions grow
ing worse every year. and with the
average wage of the farmer through
out the United States only - cents
per day. there is little chance for con
ditionS to grow worse and the farmer
continue to live. The only remedy is
to organize, and by cooperation
ohangethe conditions. And it would
he well to do this now

reasons. No other $1,000. 100000 that

is. the sooner the war will be finish

of saving lives and property.
Taking stock of our own resources
and Of the needs of the situation. it
must be apparent that the first thing
/ odo is to give France 81 100000,

all our naval forces in graphing with

can come only when Germany is
ready to accept terms that will help
atone for the crime against mankind
