 John was on his feet. The fever was blazing once more.
 "He told me that, face to facer

 "If we had been alone." John an swered simply. 'I should have killed him. I drove the words down his throat. I threw him back to the place he had left. and hurt hira rather badly, I'm afraid. Sophy took me home somehow, and now I am here"

 She swung around.
 "You speak of love-" she went on suddenly. Do you know what it isf Do you know that love reaches to the heavens. and can also touch the neth- ermost depths of hell?

THE HIRTH MEETING
Editor of the Missouri Farmer Urges
the Bates County Farmers to
Organize for Mutual Pro-
lection,

Saturday afternoon the circuit
court room was comfortably filled
with farmers who listened with the
closest attention to an address by
William Hirth, editor OF the Missouri
Farmer.
Mr.. Hirth was introduced by A. c.
Roster, chairman Of the Bates county
Club association and member of the
Executive board of the state. Mr..
liirth, who is the promoter of the
farmers club, is one OF the best posted
men i'll the state on farm matters and
the problems that confront the farm

and urgeu> the farmers 10 join the
farmers clubs and explained the great
benefits to be derived by organiza-
ton.
,He got around to the food gamblers
and especially the packers COM
bines very soon, and proceeded
to skin 'em alive. He did not
mince words. He said in plain Eng
lish that the packers were thieves and
denounced them for Systematically
robbing the producers on the farms
of millions of dollars every year; and
he apparently proved it to the salts

plause meant anything. He alleg d
and tried to show that the packers
controlled the price OF every
pound of meat, poultry, eggs,
wheat and corn-in fact, substantially
of all the products OF the farm. He
wound up with a strong appeal to the
farmers to get into the clubs, assur-
ing them that not one could afford
to stay out, and that every one who
came in would MAKE money by doing
SO. Mr.. llirth is an earnest speaner,
and at times eloquent. His heart is
evidently in the work he is trying to
do for the producers OF Missouri. He
had cordial reception and ielt a
fair impression. He was taken to
Rich Hill, and we are informed, had

the auspices OF the Farmers Union.
