The following U an address that

January 8 1916 by their county sec

Imhtr Oraimn.
Officer; and members of Union ponsibility then we ever have before,
County Union No. 3 here assembled.) We are organized for self protection
Having now about completed our (only asking for what is justly due

my mind wanders back to the time 'work together as one, and try to
there is so much to be done.
And now this being the beginning
of another New Year, and the work
at the future lies before us, ' I do
hope that each member may realize is true.

Mount Vernon. Later this message was

.."We have killed Peter Peterson."
The agency believes that tie message
when our Union was first organized
In this county which was on May 4,
1909.
And as I look into your faces, one
can notice there some who cannot
answer our roll ;all v.-hos-j ;lnces
are vacant, and who have been sum

only to fill the connecting link as
'best we can the work of the past with
that of the future.
We can only say as the poet.

, This life is but a span: He soon
must die."
At :'w as -sindt -Knn I -r l:.i
over the work of the past it comas
to os as a dream, and we stop and
ponder for a moment and ask our
selves the Question? Have we done
what we could for the betterment of
our selves and for humanity or have
we failed?
I hope we have not; we cannot af
ford to pave the road with failure.
Although most of us no doubt could
have accomplished more if we would
have only nut fourth a little moe
effort, and as it has been laid by
many, nave "punea together."
We live in an age of advancement,
and the spirit of the age is progres
. sive, for years our farmer shave been
preoccupied in subduing this continent
and have scarcely caught the spirit
of the ago in which they live,
We nre living in an age when we
must meet organization with, organ -ization,
Yet we must not think for a
moment that we can accomplish all
'. we hope to accomplish In a day, a
month or a year or perhapsa num-
ber of years, we must stillpush a
head, and as we find the conditions
in this county at present, whether as
regards to the many problems now
facing the American farmer.
Among them a system by which
wo can market our produces and re
ceive for them what is justly due us.
It is our own -fault that we have
not accomplished more than, we bav.
. And it will bo ourewn fault if we
don't roach the standard for which
wo are organized.
In polltice.1 affairs as well as in
our own organization, it is a good
plan to watch our leaders to see how
they size up, men making pro
mises and do a little sizing up of our
' We are learning lessons each year
in distrusting those oily ttoungucd
rnscnls who piny upon ouif rights
for their own ndvnntngcn, and then
kindly relegate ua to a back soat in
their memory.
Wo need to learn another lesson
and that is tho rrt of sopnrating the
docievor from tho honest ndvocato)
of our rights.
Wo wnnt honest men and women
. as our Icndors; those in whom wo
can plnco confidence and trust, and
who may thereby wield an influence
for pood over all with whom thoy
may bo associated.
Now, Brothers and Sisters of this
most noble order of ours, na vnnr
Bccretnrv and treasurer, I have almost
completed tho work or my third year
and thore is no doubt in my mind
Hint wo hnvo many more members in
our order, that, could have filled the.
office which I have t Tie honor of hold
imicli better than 1 have; Though I
have t.' iod to perform my duty as best
I could.
I urn most assuredly interested in
this work of our Union, ns 1 feel
overlook each others faults and al
ways remember we all have faults
of our own.
Stand by the cause for which we
are striving and remember the obli
gation we have taken, and the duty
we owe to ourselves and to human
ity. I am proud to be a member of such
an organization.
I am proud to think that the far
mers have at last collected their
senses together enough to be organ
ized. Now. brothers and sisters,' let us
tie members in the ture sense. Let us
be members through and thrpugh.
That is the kind of members we want.
The success of our Union does not
depend altogether on the number of
members we have. It is the kind of
members who will try to do their
duty and them I am quite sure wa
will have no trouble in getting the
members.
Now to the members of the differ
ent locals, plan ahead to attend to
visit your local meeting and try to
fill your place that otherwise would
be vacant, and try to make your
meeting a pleasure as well as a nece
ssity. ,
And then wo can all join in saying:
"Each at his task is toiling
When duty calls us there,
To fill the place of a servant 1
For a cause we should all admire,
Kach with the zeal of a hero
With success as his final aim,
We may reach the heights of conquest
And our efforts will not be in vain.
"A willing sacrifice offered,
If that is our part to be,
Content to have done our duty,
Tho' the fruit we may never see,
The bond of a faithful servant
Our Union binds in one.
Tho' tho work Bhull fail or prospor,
The verdict will be: "Well done.' "
For Rheumatism.
As soon ts an attack of Rheumatism
bogins apply Sloan's Liniment Don't
waste time and suffer unnecessary
agony. A few drops of Sloan's Lmi-
tnont on the affected parts is all you
need. The puin goes ut once.
A grateful sufferer writes: "I was
suffering for three weeks with
Chronic Rheumatism and Stiff Neck,
although I tried many medicines, they
failed. Fortunately I hoard of
Sloan's Liniment and after using it
three or four days am tip and well.
I am employed at the biggest depart
ment store in S. F. where they employ
from six to eight hundred hands, and
tfhey surely will honr all about Sloan's
Liniment. H. B. Smith, San Fran

HEROES AND HOUSES
A picturesque practice in tho United
Str.tes army may lie abandoned. It is
tho "annual test ride," prescribed for
field officers by Thcodoro Roosevelt
when he was president. Col. Roosevelt
made that equcntria . feat imniensly
popular by ridinir I ho required 00 mites
himself, and doing it, in a half or a
third of tlio required time, just to
show how easy it is.
"hi i;i(e of his inspiring example,
this more or less strenuous require
ment has never made a hit with the
officers Ihemsclvi s. Now, encouraged
by the cMimple. of I wo presidents who
care for no more strenuous exercise
then glf, they have lucked over the
traces.
Inspector (Ienor.il Gnrliiirftoi- in his
normal report, recommends the aban
donment, of tho lest. Ho Says it h.-.s
failed to accomplish Miy good purpose;
(lust the physical fitness iiir.ied at is
attained bettor by prescribed daily ex
ercise and that tho long hoi-.ieba- k ride
in, dangerous for officers over 45.
Perhaps ho is vij'ht. King Geoigc, in
his military capacity, fell off n horse

Bad Habits.
Those who breakfast at eight o'clock
or later, lunch at twelve and have din
ner at six are almost certain to be
troubled with indigestion. They do
not ellow time for one meal to digest
before taking another. Not less than
five hours should elapse between
meals. If you are troubled with indi
gestion correct your habits and take
Chamberlain Tablets, and yon may
reasonably hope for a quick recovery.
These tablets strengthen the stomach
and enable it to perform its functions
naturally. Obtainable everywhere.
Facts Do Not Justify "Race Sucide"
In the January ' Woman's Home
Companion a writer says:
"Some years ago there was quite
a stir about Tace suicide. People be
gan to say that women no longer
looked upon motherhood as a glory,
but considered it a burden unjustly
imposed upon them. Statisticians
worried us with figures, and even
statesmen began to consider the sub
ject seriously.
"Now the pendulum i3 swinging tha
other way. On every hand we hear
women discussing with the keenest
interest 'Trained Motherhood,' Better
Babies,' and similar topics; and re
markable campaigns for chijd-cav-ing
and child improving are being in
augurated in differtnt parts of the
country.
"The twentieth century is to be the
Era of the Child, people are saying,
and it is to be a wonderful record of
'Better Babies' and better men and
women."
