Brief Illness
Tlin dBflt.h nf E. S. Follansbee. a
prominent business man and lodge '

Mr. Follansbee was born at Jones

to Oregon City about six years ago,
he entered into business with Frank
Champion in a tailoring and cleaning
establishment, but owing to failing
health it necessitated him giving up
his business duties. Visiting several
health resorts with the hopes of im
proving his health, he returned to
Oregon City several weeks ago, after
wards being removed to Portland and
was able to return here last week un
til a third operation was found nec

The reason why I make this state-
poor showing at Mt. Angel about
three weeKs ago, ana you positively
know that you did not last many min
utes. But when you gain a reputation
you can get ?10,000 as a side bet and

time and anywhere the law permits
it to be staged.
Now, Mr. Roll, if you mean busi

Churches, anti-saloon, W. C. T. U.
and all temperance works all got to

Monday, agreed to come down the

in 1914 has begun. Twelve other
states will also put on campaigns.
Young Women: Number Suprising
The number of young women who
suffer with weak back, dizzy and ner
vous spells, dull headaches and wear

ills cause tnese troubles, but if Foley

appear. Contain no habit forming

The Man Who Neglects Himself
When his condition points to kid
i trnnhle takes an unwise risk.
Bachache, pain and soreness over the
kidneys, nervous or dizzy speiis, poor

GIFT EMPORIUM
A CHANCE TO SHINE
If some legislator wants to gain
notoriety, prominence and have every
mother in the State of Oregon call
him blessed, every father patting him
on the back, and every newspaper in
the state giving him free front page
advertising and all this without
taking a ghost of a chance with public
sentiment this paper will give him a
dead safe steer. Introduce a bill in the
legislature absolutely prohibiting the
manufacture, sale or giving away of
cigarettes in the state of Oregon
and the trick is done. These insignificant-looking
"paper things" are de
stroying the heart and lungs of thou
sands of our young men and boys,
and the man who would take a stand
against the vice would find everybody
with him but the tobacco trust.
Income Property Exchange for Farm
We have the following property to

of $35.00 per. month. They ar well
situated, having a sightly outiooK ana

school. Their water supply is from a
large spring that is absolutely pure.
Come and look at our property. You
will find it a snap.

Oregon City people endorse their
worth.
Frank H. Busch, Jr., Main St., Ore

no return attack."

How to Bankrupt the Doctors
A prominent New York physician
says, "If it were not for the thin
stockings and thin soled shoes worn
by women the doctors would probably
be bankrupt" When you contract a
cold do not wait for it to develope in
to pneumonia but treat it at once.

and has won a wide reputation by its
cures of these diseases. It is most ef

STRAIGHT EQUITY GOODS
Good roads do not make good mar
kets. High taxes do not raise the price
of strawberries and spuds.
It seems our present Congress
wants the cost of living lowered at
the farmers' expense.
One bill in Congress on Rural
Chedits provides for the organized
farmer, but nothing for the outsider.
$36,000,000 in Postal Savings
Banks. The law compels the Post
Masters to turn it over to the bank
ers and they pay 2V4 per cent inter
est on it. The law prohibits the bank
er from loaning to the farmer on
real estate security.
A few farmers in Congress would
not make conditions for the farmer
any worse and they might look after
the consumers' interest as they are
his favored customers. Yes sir!
When farmers get organized well
enough to set the price on what they
produce (which will not be long) they
will meet prices set by the other or
ganizations on equal footing.
The lawyers, doctors, merchants
and laborers have organized to make
money out of organization and that
is the reason the Farmers' Society of
Equity is growing and every week
sees us nearer the point where we can
play the game without coming out a
losing player.
Long ago the Allopath doctors us
ed to bleed the people and now
Well! of course they improve their
methods like the commission men.
What doctors actually know is a boon
to humanity and what they don't
know is a great boon to monument
venders. Their big bills are no boons
to anybody but themselves.
Since the farmers' organizations
are getting so strong everything and
everybody has their hat in the ring
to aid the farmer. If these people, all
of them were sincere and honest, we
farmers would have more help than
we would need. All that is necessary
is the right and power to set the price
on what we sell, the same as other
business men. That's all.
In Oregon our rock roads cost
about four thousand dollars per mile
and are not supposed to last but 20
years. That is $200 per mile every
year for the taxpayer and Jwouldl
bankrupt any county, state or nation
al government unless all this money
went right back in the pockets of the
taxpayer, which would be a strange
route for tax money to take.
Julius Ceaesar built a road 500
miles long in England. and Scotland
2,000 years ago and it is a good road
yet.
Now don't you think we had better
send Harvey Starkweather and 99
other people over there to look at
that road and tell us if it is built of
interest bearing bonds and who is
rutd supervisor for that district?

Wednesday,
And now the farmers are going
to be taxed to help pay for the crip
ples made by the railroads and mills.
The farmers get none of the profits
of these corporations and have no say
how they should be run, and we far
mers have to pay the widows pen
sions too. Now if the farmers are to
share their expense, don't you think
thev should share in the Drofits too?
Don't you think we should see to it
that these millf protect their work
men from death or injury or be made
to shut down ? You will be compelled
to look after your own profits or shut
down. Take your choice.
And we voted a large sum to out
State University and what do you ex
pect from that school to repay you?
Do you know the conditions down
there for your boy or girl? Someone
is going to reap the benefit of your
tax money. Will it be you and your
children or someone better able to
pay than you ? Think it over.
We believe in education and the
higher the better, and farmers re
quire more in their calling than most
occupations . Uur state university,
while it pockets our tax money, does
not in any way improve the condition
of the farmer. Alt the graduates of
that instituion aim to go into some
business or profession that adds more
tax to the farmer in the form of pro
fessional bills or profits on his trade
and the condition of the farmer
grows worse from year to year under
these tax burdens. The farmer must
demand as much or more profit than
these people who are benefiting so
ciety, but very little compared to the
farmer, and in order to make his de
mand imperative, he must organize
and see to it that these state insti
tutions are a financial benefit to him
or quit living off his hard labor.
The farmer, as long as he is dis
organized, is easy picking for all the
associations in Christendum.
Brother farmers, when you of your
own free will and accord, go to the
polls and vote a tax on yourself, is it
not your duty and owed to your fam
ily and neighbors, to look after that
tax money as closely as you do your
bank account? If you and your neigh
bors organize, could'nt it be done
pretty easy with little expense? Any
thing to bo of any benefit to the
farmer financially must either raise
the price of what he has to sell or
lower the price of what he has to buy.
Am I right? Well then, how much
benefit are you getting from your tax
money now? Do you know of any
thing better than organization to bet
ter your condition?
The Farmers Society of Equity is
an organization to benefit farmers
and it is doing it in nearly every state
in the union. Kvery farmer in the land
needs our help and needs it badly,
and we need the help of every farmer.
It will not be long until the farmers
entire business will be done through
his organization.
Uncle Sam has recognized the or
ganized farmer and appropriated
$50,000 to help him market his pro
duce. Uncle Sam is soon to send us
market reports every day and will
be printed in our paper. I believe the
new Rural Credit Pank will hn based
on the farmers organization. The day
of the individual farmer is drawing
to a close. It is the organized farmer

NEWS. $
Six million farmers in the United
States, and if each and everyone did
his own buying and selling when the
people that he trades with, are thor
oughly organized, is it any wonder
that the price of what he has to sell
is low and what he has to buy is
every man, woman and child has to
have, is compelled to have every day,
do you think there would be any
trouble about selling it at a good
price? No. If these farmers all
bought their supplies in large quan
tities would they not get them cheap
er? Are you ready to help the cause
along?
At the recent National Grange
meeting at Manchester, Secretary
Houston, of the Department of Agri
culture, said "The problems of rural
credits and marketing, the individual
farmer acting alone, is helpless. The
same organized genius, which have
placed the nation in the front rank of
industry, must be involved in agri
culture." There, Mr. Farmer, you have It
again. This is officiul too .This is the
government Baying to you that if you
don't organize there is no way for the
government to help you. Is it still
necessary for me to tell you to get
ready for a new day in American
farming by organizing? Do your buy
ing and selling in large lots. Pool
your stuff, get it together under con
trol, then the price can be set and
you win and not before.
