silent and timid as rabbits except
Chairman Barrett. He has knocked
around in the western country sc

even a climb of 500 feet up a winding
stairway to the head of Seven Falls
suff1ced to check his eloquence. He

Yes, Sir, Barrett Farms
Speaking Of Chairman Barrett, we
made the discovery that he is ar
honest to, goodness farmer. Recent.
ly some facetious newspapers writer
intimated somewhat broadly in ar
| article concerning the national pres.
1dent of the Farmers union that mos;
Of his farming has been done in the
FERTILE soil of hotel Hobbies in .oul
about it, and he laughed and told us us
In a very spirited manner that he
has standing offer of 81, 900 to S2E
that no other farmer in the world
grows a greater variety of products
than he does on his eight different
farms.
Two of these farms are situated
IN White county, Georgia, one at
Union City, in Campbell county,
where he lives; two in Upson county,
where he used to live before the
Farmers union got him; one in Ba-
con county, and two in Florida, near
the east coast. Every known veg
etable, every known fruit, every
known marketable farm product, ev-
cry known nut-bearing tree, every
known flower and every known shrub,
is the modest claim he asserts for
hlmself as an honest-to-goodness
farmer, and he further claims that
each and every one of his eight diff
ferent farms is making a profit. He
claims one acre of pecans in south
Georgia that made profit of $4,000
last year.
Eight hundred thousand dues-pay-
ing farmers belong to the organiza-
ton of which Chairman Barrett is
national president. Iowa, Nebraska,
Kansas and Colorado are thick with
members of the Farmers union. Co
operative enterprises owned by the
Farmers union in the state of Kan
sas handled $182,000,000 worth of
farm products last year.
The credentials committee of the
Frisco convention are going to look
at CnarIeS .. Barrett a long time be-
fore they order him to take a seat in
the peanut gallery and carry his dele
cation with him.
Look for Us In Trees
There is Mcbride, of Cedartown,
Ga, honlIing the horn of his Twin
Six in front of the Western Union
office He has been to the parking
track and got his sightseers and
wrapped them in blankets for the
moonlight ride to the top of Pixies
Peak: The somewhat hungry and
secretary of the delegation must
"close for this time" as the classic
letter writer's used to say. hoping to
have more the next time etc. ,etc.
He must rush to the Pullman and get
his overcoat and other equipment
for keeping warm in the snow-clad
summit of the highest mountain in
the world reached by a railway and
an automobile road.
AS above explained, if nothing
further is heard from the party look
for us in the tree tops. where Nc
Bride assures us we will alight If
the car gets unruly and plunges over
one of these thousand-feet drops that
Turk at every turn of the sightseeing
roads. Tuesday we are scheduled to
be on our way at II o'clock. The
spokesman of the party will go di-
rect from Salt Lake to Frisco to be
at the hearing before the national
committee. The others will go by
way of Los Angeles.
