What Shall We Do.

What shall We do in nineteen twenty two?
 Let us now lay joking aside for a time, let us try to realize where We are and what we have been doiagthepast year. Have we done all that we could have done for the uplift of humanity, or nave We shirked our task? Have We listened to all the good talks Tn the past year only to go to our homes and never give it another thought? Have read our papers night after night noting only for the time the awful condition that the working class are in? Have we gone to bed at night never giving such things a second thought dreaming terrible dreams all through the night of dreadful happenings only to awaken in the morning and go to our work in an off hand way thinking it our lot and that we should silently serve our Master, willing to put up with such treatment as long as we live, and then only turn it over to our children to toll and struggle through a life of mis- cry and strife? Have we thought of these conditions as that poor little old mother thought when her only boy and only child was being laid in his resting pla ce, the little mother was 83 years oi age and her boy had just passed his Goth birthday, and now that poor little mothers heart was more sad than it had ever beer

A special taber- nacle will be built, one man having volunteered to furnished the lumber for this building. free of charge. We thank God for who have such interest in the local church work. A special day will be set when men will be asked to come to an old fash toned Building Bee" lunch will be served at noon and 1t will be time you will not want to miss. Men who have teams will be asked to bring them, as there IS much haujing of material that must be done. Truly God Is on the giving hand, he has answered the prayers of not a few people who have prayed through the years that God would send q revival to Ozark. Let us make this the greatest thing that has ever come to Ozark, and put our town on the map as it-has never been before. Special prayer meetings @iit- De~ held between now and the tune of the meetings and in this alone do we depend for success Tn the coming meet inRs. Moody once said True revlvals must be prayed down and not worked u. - We heartily agree Pray as though every thing depended upon God, and work as though everything depended upon you Watch for further announcements and for the new tabernacle which is soon to appear.

industries. and they went down in ruin. It has been estimated that with manufactured articles. the selling price is over three times the cost of production. The difference in the first cost and the price to the consumer is ab- sorbed by the various profits and expense along the process of dis tribution. To reduce these ex- penses and profits to a minimum is the greatest problem of the age. If the farmer could receive for his produce anywhere nearly what the city dweller pays for it. and could buy the products of the factories at something near the cost of production. he would have an abundance and would be the happiest man on earth.
 The Farmers Union should help bring about these conditions, and if they are successful. the wealth of the nation will again flow back to the pockets of the farmer. where it was originally located. Let US do all we can tc bring about these condi tions.

Farmers Union History

The early history of this coun- try was a record of the expansion of the cultivated lands as there were few cities and great manu- featuring industries were un- known. Our people shipped ag- ricultural products abroad, and received manufactured articles in return.
 With the improvement in ma chinery came the possibility of combining the efforts of many people in one building and pro- ducing goods more cheaply than they could be made in the old fashioned way in the home. Then the factories commenced to appear, and the power of the steam-engine took the place of human strength. then cities grew up around these factories, and our population began to be called urban and rural.
 Soon serious questions arose between these two classes of people and have continued to this day. The people in the cit ies wanted to get the product of the farm as cheaply as possible. and sell their manu factured goods to the farmer as high as they could. On the other hand the farmers were anxious to buy the things they needed at as low price and sell their goods as high as possible. So the city nlanufac- turers wanted to shut out goods made in foreign countries, so that they could increase their prices to home consumers. As nearly all agricultural products were produced in excess of con- sumption, they were shipped abroad and the price. both here and abroad, was regulated by the price in the foreign country. An import duty on articles which were heavily exported. could have no effect whatever on their price but where goods were imported, the price to American consumers were often the foreign made with the duty added. So the urban and the rural people were drawn apart, and their interests seemed to clash.
 The selling value of an article depends on the amount that can be purchased for that price. Ii the price of a bushel of wheat is one dollar for a period of two years. but during one year the price of things desired by farm CTS are twice as high as the other, so the value of the wheat to him is half as much one year as the oth' CT, though the amount of money remained the same. This is wha' we call relative. It is just as i'm portant for him to keep down the thing he purchases as for him tt keep up his selling price.
 Most of the great manufactur ing concerns of this country arc now controlled by trusts ant prices are manipulated by few men. They are no longer gov erned wholly by the low supply and demand. as was the case wheI thousands of factories were own ed and operated by individual: who were in no way associated together. The farmers are to day in the same position that thu manufactures were years ago each for himself. without an, concerted action. As a resul they must buy at prices whicl are fixed by organizations anc sell at whatever market condi tions will warrant. As a resul always getting the worst of th' deas.

Great Cooperative Meeting in Ozark

maJterS 0f religion the world Is demanding cooperation, and because of this the churches of Ozark are to unite ip a cooper ative evangelistic campaign which is to be conducted by the Harold L Stephens party.
 East Friday, MT. Sutherland the ehorister and associate of Mir Stephens came to our city to look over the local situation and by invitation of the pastors spent Sunday with Us here in our churches, speaking at the Meth odst church at eleven o'clock and at a union service in the Pres byterian church in tae evenin g. MT. Sutherland was most loy ally received at both of these services and we feel that great blessing came to every life who listened to these messages. At two o'clock in the afternoon MT. Sutherland met the combined boards of the churches, with their pastors, and al this meet ing 1t was decided unanimously toihold a cooperative evangeI- istic meeting and t invite the Stephens party to lead campaign. 1 This meeting is to begin either on the fifteenth or twenty second of January denend'ng on whether OF not the building material will reach here in time 10 get things in readiness. The definite date will be announced in next weeks paper and through special adyer- Using. So far as We can learn this Is the first meeting of ths kind ever held in Ozark, and truly tits Ozarks opportunity for a genuine religious awakening. Evangelist G orge T. Stephens. < younger bro her of II. L. Stephens, has held many meetings in the State of Arkansas and in instance has brought great bless ling to the towns and cities which he ana hls party have visited. In all of these places the churches have reaped large rewa, ds, both from the stand point of awaking among their own people, but as well in the reaping of much new material, many single churches receiving as many as a hundred and more new members from the cam paigns.
 Rev. Harold Stephens and his wife. who works with him all the time, are both of international reputation and have had a wide experience in this work, not only in our own country. but as well in great Britain. Mir. Stephens is known everywhere in Canada, which is his native country. as the Moody of Canada. He is distinctly of thls type and has been wonderfully used ot God hiough many years in the evan gelIstic field Mrs. Stephens is one of our hymn writers and for many years has been before the public as a musician as well as assisting her husband Tn giving of most remarkable addresses during the campaigns. Mrs stephens Will De heard mostly al the afternoon servlces which are held especially for christian people.
 l MT. Sutherland, the assistant and chorister, has been associated for many years with many oi the leading evangehsts of the country and has been conducting Il large choruses in many states oi the union, and is widely knowr as an evangelistic singer.

the organization of sub-lndustries | in producing groups, such as; wheat growing, cotton growing, meat production and so on. This feature of rural organization so common has not gone very far in this country. There are some scattered over the country. but as rule their fields of effort is very limited.
 1 Perhaps nearest approach to a complete organization of sub- industry are groups of industries. It is found in the work of the California Fruit Growers Ex- change. through which fruit growers of California have de- veloped an enormous co operative business. all the other producing groups should get together in similar fashion. the grower of wheat, cotton. corn. potatoes the butter maker and all the oth- CTS.
 The advantages of a farmers union are so numerous. can't name only small part of them: It enables the. grower to stand. ardize the methods of production: The principles worked out by scientific investi2 alton results Tn more skilful management; Col lective bargaining either in buy- ing or in selling In practically im- possible except by those who have identical industrial inter. ests, that is by those who have the same things to sell, or who wish to buy the same thing: A 1 group of individuals interested in the same business can study all phases of it much better than any one individual can do it. To some extent they can control pro- duction and regulate prices. When there is no organization, there is sometimes over-produc- tion and the price drops so low that there is less profit than when the crops are half failure. Com petition between regions in the same industry may be reduced. even if not eliminated. The or. ange growers of Florida and Cal lifornia. the apple growers of ashington and Maine. the dairymen of Vermont and New
 York are competitors rather than co-operators A we'll organized
 farmers union could do much to reduce this disastrous competi-
 tion.
 Formerly the chief wealth of
 the country was in the hands of
 the farmer, but now it is vastly
 different. In 1920 the estimated value of all kinds of property in
 this country was two hun red
 and fifty billion dollars, and of this less than one-fourth
 was owned by the tillers of the soil. The opportunities for mak- ing money in the cities are so
 much better than in the country
 that our young people are leaving the farm in ever increasing num- ters in spite of the fact that there is a great cry of back to the
 land." In 1920 the value of farm crops in this country was about twenty-five billion dollars. If ; the farmer could have purchased things needed at reasonable prices they would have been in , easy circumstances. but instead } of that prices of most things they
 bought were about 100% higher than six years before, and that brought their net income to pre- war level, so while the city dwell- CTS thought the farmers were : getting rich they were in reality having a hard struggle. Near
