During my husbands illness I had practically worn myself out through work and worry" said Mrs. O'Hara recently. And so when he passed away I had al most reached a state of complete collapse. I could hardly eat anything for days af- terwards. I would feel so weak and ex- nausted during the day that 1t was all could do to get about, and yet when night came I could get no sleep. I was fearfully nervous-the least little thing would make me jump. And this had kept up for days and days.
 'I happened one day to read about Wincarnis and decided to try if, and it certainly has done wonders for me. By the time l had taken about half of the bottle I began to improve wonderfully. and by the time I had taken the whole bottle my appetite had come back I was much less nervous and was getting quite some sleep at night. really cannot praise Wircarnis enough. I have taken only 3 few bottles and now I am entirely well My insomnia is gone. I have a good appe- tite and my nerves are fine. really feel like a 4aw woman"

 There Is no apparent reason why ev- l cry tabor union in the country shou dn't follow these examples. It is work directly along their line, for 1t seeks the greater financial good of their members.

and selling together" Of course, that Is the Gilect purpose Of al cooperative dairy and fruit organizations. As I un- derstand it, that is. also a primary con sideration in the farm bureau.
 Now consider that in our own east orn part of the country. there are thousands of more Or less active granges. and perhaps an almost equal number of farmers affiliated with the farm bureau. These men are almost invariably the more progress'v3 ana en. terprisnS In their several communities. They are usually among the larger pro- ducers; they have 8 recognized stand- ing; they have some degree of fore sight; they are more Or less trained In organization work and methods. Then organizations have, within themselves, subsidiaries already actually engaged in buying such things as feeds and ferti- lizers and tools in Q cooperative way. Perhaps some other things. I'm not so Well posted as ! wish in all their activities.
 ConscrvativeIy estimated. there are some millions Of farmers and farm workers connected with these distinct 1 iveiy farm organizations. Nor are the organizations mere ephenera mush- room growths of a single season. They | have been active for many long years ! Taev have proved, not oniy tael~ rgit

 What. then, becomes of the asser- 1 ton that corporation between producers and consumers is impossible because
 the farmers won't organize? Why, hert , they are, already organized by the mil lion and organized, among other things for this very nurDoss of corenon buy nc and selling. whenever such huyin,
