THt CHILDREN LIHt IT KENNEDY'S LAXATIVE COUCH SYRUP BENEFITS DERIVED FROM FARMERS ORGANIZATION Did ton Know Tbat there is one farmer's organi sation truly national in character and influence? Tbat this organization is called The Orange and that baring; stood the test for 40 years it is stronger tody in all essential respects tban ever beforeT That this result bas been achieved, that it has lived when others failed because of tbe soundness of its prin ciples? Tbat these principles have operated to break np the social isolation of the farm, to improve the farmer intel lectually and financilly and to seoore legislation protecting tbe interests of agrionltnre? That all members of the family are admitted on an equality and all labor together for their common good? That no sacrifice of political or re ligious opinion is required for en trance? That it has some of the most beautiful and impresiive ritual istic work; in the English language aud tbat all its work is emblematic and helpfnl in developing higher ideals in tbe life and labors of tbe farm? That it is a school of mental de velopmeot for old and youog alike giving- to all cultnre and refinement for the home and the experiences that are essential to Bucoess in all walks of life? That it has always been a leader in every movement for better rural schools? Tbat its educational features broad en tbe mind of Ihe farmer, leading him to study questions relating to the farm life as well s to affairs of tbe state and nation? That it has, in this way, enabled farmeis to add very materially to their profits by gaining a betterun- derstanding of their business? Perhaps You Did Not Know That tbe Grange was responsible for tbe establishment of Rural Mail Delivery. That it is working for the exten sion of the Parcels Postal and tbe es tablishment of Postal Savings Banks. That it has been largely instru mental in securing the enactment of the National and many state Pure Food Laws. That it helped plaoe a tax of 10 oents per pound os colored oleomargarine, thus eliminating it from competition with real butter and adding value to every dairy cow in the conntry. That it secured the removal of the tax from industrial alcohol, thns en abling the people to enjoy tbe great benefits of that product in lighting their homes, running their machinery and lightening the burdens of the household in numerous ways, with out the payment of a dollar in trib ute to any trust and opening the way for the development of a wonderful new industry. That it was largely responsible for the defeat of the Ship Subsidy Bill in the last session of congress. That it has always sought just means for securing an equal distribu tiou of taxation upon all forms of prosperity. Tbat it was responsible for the es tablishment of tbe Iuitative and Referendum in Oregon. Tbat it haB secure! t lie enactment of a law through the initiative, plac ing a tax upon the grofs earnings of a number of corporations doina a large amount of business in this state and hohling very little property of a tan gible form npon which a tax could be levied. That it furnishes Fire and Life Insurance at a rate so low as to enable members, who take advantage of these features, to pay all fees and dues oi the organization from the savings thereby affected. Do you know that it has accom plished the-e results with the support of a comparatively small percentage f the farmers of ihe nation? You do know, no doubt, tbat every other clsss of citizens hitve recognised the value of organization a iiare uni versally employing it for their self interest. Do joa recognize the fact that the farmer can net permanently stand ah ne aud compete siicceiKfully with organized forces cn every hand? Tan you deny tbat the Grange has made a worthy record, that you have beuetfitted by its exigence, and that it is therefore destrving of encourage ment? Yuu can not deny that It could be much more useful and powerful, were it more generally and loyally sup pcrtd, and that it therefore is en titled to your support. Charles Costain Wood Working Shop.

RICHARD THE BRAZEN Continued frow page three On Harriet's brain, even In tbat dreadful Instant, flashed a vivid, In sistent memory. Again she was perch ed on the quivering broncho's back, pressed onward In a reeling, dizzy pool of death, while in her ears rang words of sweet encouragement And as then she bad exercised her force of will, so now she saved herself once more by clapping her hand over the mouth of fair Imogene. This time It was muscle combined with common sense, and a healthy shriek was throt tled In Its Infancy. Richard released his grip on tbe nape of his prisoner's neck. "Stand up!" he ordered, and the man obeyed. "Hands up too! Ah. thank you! Perhaps you also have a gun. Allow me to relieve you of Its weight" He ran his free hand over the person of Mr. Fltigeorge and se cured a abort, ugly looking pistol and a pair of brass knuckles, both of which be promptly pocketed. "Good!" be chuckled. "And now. Miss Henwvck. will you please be good enough to throw some light upon this gentle man?" 'Yes," whispered Hnrrtet; "I think I can explain iu" "No. no!" the Texan Interrupted. "I don't mean words. I refer to the bulls- eye lamp. Just turn It on hltu, please. and we 11 look him over." Mlsa Harriet compiled. The light re vealed the countenance of Roderick Fltzgeorge. alias Jack Bibbs, alias twenty other names which have no bearing on this comedy. His clear cut Out dissipated features were distorted and sullen in bis rage against the wo men whom be thought bad laid a trap for hi in. "My. what a prize package!" observ ed the Texan softly. "You have a bad eye, my friend; but, after all. I'm rather glad to know you. Mlsa Ren wyck, do you think you could find me a rope or a piece of good, strong twine?"
