Cal Promises Relief in Sweet Bye and
Bye.
Mr.. Coolidge, your very able ,presi-
dent, whom the farmers elecUed, sald
at Chicago recently: that conditions I
were not fhe hest on American farms. /
MANY were in bankruptcy, but, he
said "there is an enormous amount |
Of wealth produced in this country
and we are a wonderfully rich cOun-
trv. The farmers should not be dis
couraged because they are poor and
not getting their share, because he
said. off the farmer will lock up and
realize the wonderful benefit it is to
him TO live in such a country as this,
he will be thankful he is alive, and
come to trust that in the sweet bye
and bve he will find everything all
! right"
But what about our land system
: ANYWAY? How many never get their
land paid for? How many toll all
day. and all the year, and all their
: years, and sacrifice, and &c without
: MANY things, being good citizens in
7 the hest term of that word-then be-
i ing cast off that land In their Old age
. to become homeless ana pennlless
!. wanderers. That's the story OF about
+ five millions eff American farmers and
= families the past SIX or elghC years,
: and many millions more are about
ready to take the same step. Some
r. thing must be done and that soon il
W the headlong plunge into tenancy anC
unorganized cheap labor IN the cities
,e is to be stopped.
=. It Can Be Done
ye. Many farmers, not examining close
L ly into the psychology OF organlza
al lions, in a hasty and mconslderet
&c. manner shout that tits no use; al
10 our efforts are lost; we are licked
~ might as well stop" And at tn
e same time Big Business knows tina
=, the farmers have hit hard and ar
+ 80. afraid of more serious fights in tn
i future. They realize this organizin

IN Now, let's look into the future. Tn
a+ board is clear, no organizations
- any size and general standing at al

- condition to- speak about: All over IL

DC educated by our efforts, trained *
ars action, and all that's necessary no
~ is to organize and unite them in al
o9 with all other trained groups,
a make united stand against preG

oov it means that all this great educ
P p,,l. tional and training school we ha
1T kept up in the past in the shape
