Yet il was actually true; impossible
as II seemed, IT was nevertheless an
incontrovertible fact. He had never
spoken to her a single word of love;
he had never even kissed her and

situation bewildered him. Why, he
did not even know who she was;
what right she Rad to claim the family
name under which he had married.

might shadow her history. 1t was all
mystery, a mystery in which he was
becoming deeply involved. Cakins
had evidently been hiding her from
some fate, but whether of good or
evil, could NOT yet be determined. This
present abduction, beyond question,
had to DO with that concealed past,
perhaps with some happening before
she was even born, These fellows
were not robbers; their raid was not
intended for any such purpose; they
had touched nothing even the horses
were left undisturbed in the corral,

But for that one error no one ever

would tell no tales, that they had left

STATE WIDE MEMBERSHIP
CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED BY THE
COLORADO STATE FARM
BUREAU, JULY 10

At the last meeting of the Execu-
tive Committee of the State Farm
Bureau, it was decided to put on
state wide membership campaign for
tic County Farm Bureaus
1t was deemed necessary to increase
our membership in order to man
tain our standing in the American
Farm BuIceU Federation The W 'fk
of this organization is becoming SO
far reaching in its importance to the
farming industry that Colorado could
not afford to forfeit its membership
which she would have to do il the
county membership were not In
creased.
Mr.. w. G. Jamison, President. as
put in charge of the campaign and will
conduct a series of district coafer-
ences in different parts of the state
aided by few college and extension
workers from FIT. Collins.
These conferences will be attended
by Farm Bureau officers and County
Agents and detail plans for the cam
paign in the various counties will be
worked out. The county agents and
Farm Bureau workers will return to
their counties and start the campaign
as soon as possible.
This means a lot of work for some
one, but the work is SO important that
enough men and women ought to be
found who can carry the work on sue
cessfully in every community.
The Canon City record with which is consolidated the Canon City cannon., 1920-08-12

wishes to make that this is not the
case, and to make 1t plain that the
farmers responsibility ceases when
the product of the farm is turned over
to the distributor, and that the farmer
is not responsible for the wide margin
between the price the consumer pays
and the price the producer receives.
From that point to the point OF hnal
consumption the work is done and the
cost is paid by people who live away
from the farms.
When in this process the distribu-
tors of farm products keep to them
selves an unjustifiably large part Of
the price paid by the consumers. and
refuse to pay to the producers rea-
sonable price, farmers are justified in
entering the distributing field, either
Individually or collectively. and the
Grange asserts that no laws should
remain on the statute books which
deny this right. But the generally ac-
cepted economic principle applies that.
whether selling individually or col
lectively. the producer should sell as
near the point of production as pos
sible, to safeguard his rights and his
interest. and guided by this same eco
the source of production as possible.
For this purpose the cooperative buy
ing OF farm supplies is strongly urged.
SIMPLIFY INCOME TAX RULES
AS a result of the protest made by
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton Income Tax Committee against
the present form OF making out the
farmers income tax returns, the com
mittee on appeals of the treasury de-
partment has made decision which
knocks out the Objectionable ruling
made by the department officials, so
that 1t will be possible for a farmer
who has past records to make adjust
ments back over proceeding years the
same as before the present ruling was
promulgated. Another plan. il grant
ed, and it is apparently in fair way to
be adopted, will enable large numbers
of farmers to materially increase theiI
inventory exemptions, when changing
over from cash to inventory basis
This will make 1t possible to reduce
the penalty taxes farmers would have
to pay in changing over to the new
system under the present ruling. The
tax officials of the treasury have also
agreed to give official approval to the
farm account book which the fedora
tion is getting out. making it much
easier for farmers to make out their
income tax returns. It is understood
however that the book is to be printed
and sold to farm bureau members
without profit, and it will be avail
able soon

WHY A MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN
IN FREMONT COUNTY AT
THIS TIME?

Our Farm Bureau has been handi-
capped in it's work this year by not
having County Agent, Dut the work
is progressing SO fast in other count
les of the state, and the State and
National Farm Bureaus are doing so
much important work that we must
maintain our standing so that the
work can start right off as soon as a
County Agent can be secured.
The interest in Farm Bureau work
has developed wonderfully in this
county during the last year in spite
of the fact that our membership has
been small. In order to Keep up this
interest, and maintain our standing in
the State and National Farm Bureaus,
we must have membership in pro-
portion to the number of farmers who
are benefited by the important work
OF these organizations.
The two main projects OF the State
Farm Bureau are the State Corn Show
to be held in Denver during Stock
Show week, and a state wide survey
OF the tenanty situation which will
have a bearing on the Japanese
question in this state.
The results of the work on these two
projects together with work on minor
projects of statewide Importance,
such as marketing, better seeds, bet
ter live stock, etc, will benefit direct
iy or indirectly every farmer in the
state.
The National Farm Bureau which
has been organized less than one
year has started work on a number Of
projects OF national Importance that
directly affects every farmer In the
nation.
Among these are. investigation of
scar shortage. investigation of Packers
statistics, National Legislation af-
'fecting the farming industry, investi-
CATION of the National Marketing pro-
blerns, and a number of other actiyi-
ties that are already getting results.
1t is important that every farmer be
familiar with what is being done
along these lines and by joining the
County Farm Bureau he comes inter
ested In the important work of these
organizations.
Every organization to be effective
must have membership and support,
SO IL you think that these things are
worth while you should lend your aid
by becoming member at once.
We must have enough member to
maintain our standing in the STATE
and National Organizations, and your
individual support is what we need.
