Annual Dinner of the
Far.ners' Union

On last Wednesday the Farm
ers Union of Cheyenne Wells and
their friends held their annual
dinner in the Odd Fellows Hall.
This date marks g new era in this
organization, as it recently has
been changed to a corporation.
During the foreaoon the ladies'
were busy setting forth the ma
ny savory dishes which everyone
knows is always furnished by the
farm horne, while the men were
exchanging bits of farm talk.
At this time the Board of Di
rectors were engaged in taking
subscriptions for stock in the new
corporation. At ~ O'Clock all
gathered around the heavy laden
table Of good things and appeas-
ed that awful appetite which
comes upon one after riding over
the highway OF ups and downs.
During this time the High school
orchestra rendered some very
pleasing selections. After dinner
]. w. Adams gave short ac-
dress of welcome, which was fol-
lowsed by talks from w. J. Van
Doren, and J F. King in regarcs
to "WhaI the Union has Accom-
pIished," object Of Incorporation
and report of the 1913 Executive
Committee" Preceding and fol-
lowing these talks the young la
dies and gentlemen of the high
school furnished the audience
wsth music and recilations.
The whole meeting was avery
pleasant affair and each farmer
seemed to compete with his neigh
Dor tow ards making the new co :
poratlon run on 4 firm and sue
cessful basis. When the meet
i1g closed the new Subscriptions
amounted to $1,000 This is not
all, as there are MANY more who
are going to add their suSscrip-
tons AMI so do their share tow

which are by rights only suffic-
lent for one, there is inevitably
crowding enough to affect the
conditions of life more or less un
favorably.
Also, if a small town has only
houses enough for its present in
habitants there is no possibility
of further growth. New resi-
dents. however satisfactory they
might be as citizens, simply can
not be accommodated.
Men who have capital or can
arrange for the use of it should
wake up to conditions and realize
that the present is an excellent
time for building.
In the first place, the greatest
necessity of the country just now
Is work for the returned soldiers
and sailors. Building will fur
nish this.
In the second place, building
would be an act Of public spirit,
suppl, ing the builders home
town with houses required for its
progress and growth.
Lastly, The demand for houses
shows that Well-built homes will
prove an excellent investment
for the builder. Houses to rent
will be an assured source of in
come. And the sale of houses
upon easy monthly payments is a
most satisfactory plan. A town
which has these to offer can Sc
cure fine class of thifty, pru-
dent citizens. who as they are

The Sixty-fifth Congress

The Sixty fifth Congress, just
expired, has been Eoiy of re-
markable experiences. No con-
gress in our history has had as
many and important problems
with which to deal. We will
agree tt. at it did many wise and
beneficient things and many
things that it should not have
done. Also that it failed to do
many things which it should have
done.
This summary only shows that
body of men is human, and
therefore both as ell.inteution,
ed and as liable to err as the in
dividual man.
We remember that this CO. :
2resS declared a state of war be
tween tie United States and the
imperial German government,
and later, against the Austro.
Hungarian government.
We gasp when we learn that in
two years it appropriated nearly
IS billion dollars.
1t passed the greatest tax laws
in parliamentary history. in two
years levying ten billion dollars
in taxes upon the people. And
in the same time it authorized
bond issues aggregating twenty
two billions.
1t passed a law to make the
country dry after July l, 1919.
for the duration Of the war. And
then it passed a constitutional
amendment for national prohibi-
tion.
After it ha l made its great ap-
preparations for war purposes it
usually had to turn to and inves-
tigate the application of the
funds.
It was in every sense of the
word militant body. When it
was not making war cppropria-
tions or pursuing war investiga-
tions or appointing fuoi or fuel
war commissions it was generally
engaged in internal dissentions
with the administration.
After all it was our congress
and q thoroly American one. It
did the thing it set out to d.,
supplied the country with nearly
four million fighting men furnish
the sinews Of war for them and
stood at their backs while tn. y
went thru to victory. It has pack
