FARM BUREAU
Encouraging letter in behalf. of
The Farm Bureau by
Mrs. A. F. Galloway.

Hurrah for the editor of the Eagle
and his splendid EARN Bureau
Special" and three cheers for Messrs.
Turner, Jeff Jones and Dallas Nc
Lorty, and every name on the Farm
Bureau list. This all looks and sounds
good to me, for / have longe yearned
to Sc dear old LaFaette County and
her people come into their own and
retain their birthright. | have never
thought it fair, square nor just, for
one half the people to play and feast
while the other half toll and starve
for the things that make for self
respecting men and womenhood, for
when the people are crushed and en-
barassed they son lose heart, and self
respect usually goes along with it.
| thank God that the dawn of
J brighter day for the producer, (the
greatest missionary this world knows
anything about is upon us for when
his condition is improved we will
! see like improvement in all the ave-
nues of life. like the spirit of CO.
operation and uplift that character
ICES this organization, any movement
will grow when it is supported by the
masses, joined together vita one aim
and for one purpose In unity there
is not only strength but wisdom, un-
selfishness and hearty good will, with
out which neither individual nor or
ganization can excel or come into
wholesome, helpful, frution. Show
me the individual the home, the
ichurc.a, the. community or any other
thing that smatters of autocracy and
caters to the classes and self agoun-
dizements and I'll show you just as
many miserable failures, cumberers
of the very atmosphere in which they
move; in love with nobody and nobody
Iarpreciating them, the world is
mourning today because of such in
fluence. No doubt the great heart
OF our Heavenly Father is saddened
at present world conditions, | believe
he has nothing to do with this doc
trine of ''The survival of the fittest."
His creed is "Bear We one anothers
burdens" and "Ye that are strong
ought to bear the infirmities of the
weak and not to please yourselves"
They helped every man his neighbor
and each said to his brother, "Be of
good cheer" Thou SHALT love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul
mind and strength, and thy neighbor
(or fellow MANI as thy self" What
friends, can be palmer, broader,
nobler, grander? And this Farm
Bureau plan religiously carried on
will come nearer merging into Gods
creed for his creatures than any
bushes plan hitherto launched in our |
country that l know anything abont.
When the producer, common laborer,
merchant, doctor, preacher or men ,
from any profession whatsoever meet
on common ground, join hands and /
'fervently bid each other God-speed J.
prefering each otaer in honor, YOU i
among men, and experience the rich
est blessings in our hearts we have
ever known, for "There is a DESTINY
that makes men brothers, none goeth
his, way alone, all that we send into
the lives of others, comes back into
our own"
I'll tell you friends a man with the
spirit of the blessed Christ in his
heart is never SO happy as when lift
ing somebodies load. | love to think
OF the little girl trudging patiently
along with the little tot upon her
back as the crowd was rushing to a
picnic. Someone paused and said, !
Child, aren't you tired? A smile t
played over her weary countenance as
she whispered, "Why no, he's my bro
ther." God grant that in due time
The Farm Bureau of old LaFaette
county will be functioning happily and /
the hitherto long faces be wreathed
in smiles, the pessemists all put Is !
rout, and everybody cherrily singing,
"Little boy blue, come blow your /
horn"
For this is the day The Farm Bu-
reua was born"
The influence that helped me my
obligations to cover, an made me
recognize every man as my brother.
