Executive Committee
Cvopdration will build better homes.
Cooperation will build a good school
house.
Co-operation will build a better
church
Co-operation will give you a higher
education.
Backbiting and slander, put no Lieal
in the chest.
Education is the mud sill of an en-
lightened civilization.
If you want the Union to assist you,
you must assist the Union.
Co-operation will put a stronger love
f jr God and humanity in the heart.
Co-operation will enable you to market
your products at the highest obtainable
pnces.
Do your business through the Union
and yon will soon learn the value of Co-
operation.
It is a good time of the year to gather
up all the farm utensils and put them
under shelter.
Trust in God for the sunshine and
the rain, but the rest will depend on
you and the mules.
Leave all religious, political and per-
sonal prejudices on the outside upon
entering the lodge room.
A farmer that is not ashamed to learn
and will profit by his learning is the
farmer that is worth while.
Rich ground deserves good cultivation
poor ground deserves the best cultiva-
tion and plenty fertilization.
Why not cut those cuckleburs along
the fence before they seed, of course
there is none in the corn and cotton.
Co-operatiou will make you a better
neighbor to your neighbor and make
your neighbor a better neighbor to you.
Patronize the institutions established
by the Co-operators in tlfe Union and
you will soon become a Co-operator
yourself.
A good strong law with a county roud
penalty attached for killing birds will
help to mark "for sale" on the little old
shotgun.
H. H. Rogers says, "the producer and
seller has a right to set the price," but
of course that does not apply to farm
products.
If the farmer must sack his potatoes,
barrel his apples, box his peaches, and
crate his berries, why shouldn't he gin
his cotton.
Chairman J. J. Hicks, of Shiloh Local,
was circulating in the Moody county
one dav last week and talking crop and
Farmers Union.
Mr. Know-all is a big rock in the road
of progress. Mr. Know-little is an edu
cator. Mr. Want to-learn is the best
member of the Union.
The lazy, shiftless, no account farmer
has no place reserved for him in this
Union. The Union only keeps them
who help themselves.
The farmer hauls his products to
town and takes the other fellow's prices
Wonder what the other fellow is doing
while the farmer is attending to business.
The world is continually finding new
uses for our cotton. A large amount is
nsed each year in the manufacture of
silk, Of course the consumer of silk
does not know this, but in most cases

the cotton is there. The mixing is done
secretly in the silk factories. Bicycle
and auto tires are now being manufac-
tured of cotton. It is estimated that
one-half milliou bales are used each
year for auto tires alone.
Every farm in Cherokee county
should be posted against the little old
shot gun, both inside and outside the
farm house, and the meaning carried
out.
The farmer delivers what he sells,
goes after what he buys, why not build
warohousss and clearing houses and say
to the other fellow, "if you want what
we have, come after it."
Cholera is destroying hogs to a con
siderable degree in the Sleeper and
Pegg's vicinities. Will some good farmer
send us a remedy that he knows by act-
ual trial will not only be a cure but a
preventive.
If you see a farmer who carries a
hammer in his haud, Acme nails in his
pocket and twenty feet of baling wire
around his waist, when ho is pottering
about the farm, watch him. That fel-
low will raise a good crop.
The sale of farm products is supposed
to be governed.by the law of supply and
demand The sale of trust products is
governed by a well regulated demand.
The supply does not exceed the demand
in any case if the trust can prevent it.
A covey i sail to every twenty
acres of la 'i worth—well if the
chinch bug should come the farmer
would learn by actual experience the
worth of old Bob White, and he would
throw that little old shot gun in the
creek.
If the Union had a warehouse in every
county of every cotton state, it would
be in a position to sell direct to the
spinner. If the cotton farmer sold his
lint direct to the spinner, the cotton
exchanges would die and the cotton
speculators go out of business.
The farmer has been selling and buy-
ing at the other fellow's prices so long
that it has become a habit, and a great
many of them are now waiting and
hoping for the other fellow to combine
him and show him how to co-operate.
Will the other fellow do it? Maybe
so, when the end of time comes.
The little old shotgun has caused the
birds to disappear to such an extent in
the last decade that unless drastic
measures are put in force the birds will
become extinct, then the crop destroy
ing insects will have only one enemy—
man—and man is not able to cope with
the pests. It is to be hoped that the
first legislature of Oklahoma will pass
such protection laws for the feathered
family that the shotgun will perforce
b3 put out of business.
Your county.convention meets,
lutes, pays bills, sends delegates, elects
officers, receives good treatment at the
hands and in the homes of your Union
hosts and then adjourns. What is the
local Union doing with the resolutions
and instructions from your County
Uniont Are they all obeyed? Wonder
if all the locals of Pryor Creek County
Union No. 9 has that little sow pig in
a pen aud wonder again if that five
acres will be planted in cotton or some
other paying crop next season.
Tahlequah County Union No. 2, met
at 'Jahlequah last Monday. Pryor
Creek County Union met with Tucker
Springs local at the Union hall, Moody,
last Thursday. Plans were formed at
these two meetings for a complete re-
organization. The old charters of the
Indiahoma and Indian territory State
Union will be surrendered and a new
charter under Oklahoma State Union
taken out. In the future, if present
plans come to maturity, Cherokee
county will have one County Union
This means a warehouse and a clearing
house. This means unity of action
This means a better feeling of brother
hood. One County Union spells sue
cess with a capital S. There are
great many of our best farmers
Cherokee county outside of our lodge
rooms. As the Union is doing what it
can to advance the interests of every
farmer in Cherokee county, these good
and true men, who for reasons best
known to themselves, are not members,
are invited to take up the study of the
principles of the F. E. and C. U. of A.
and after informing themselves of our
interests and purposes, thev are invited
to join us in the march of progress.

not take this view of it, but there is a

Equal to all Emergencies
The newly elected county officers are
wondering just how they will be checked j S3
into office. Some of them are wonder-1 jg
ing how they will be able to draw their
salaries when the county is "broke."
But all these little problems will be
solved in due time. The American people
are equal to all emergencies and these
candidates who have got among the
stars though difficulties can be trusted
to bring order out of chaos in a short
time. Just sit tight and don't rock the j
boat.—Vinita Leader.

There aro many prisioners in the

the doors will swing open on the coming
