The Farmers’ Educational and Co
nperative Union of America brings
the question of organization squarely
before every farmer In this nation
W ithout organization the facmers can
neither help themaelvea nor be helped
by others and through organization
and systematic effort all things are
possible
The farmers of the United States
contribute more and get less from
government than any other class of
business They have better securities
and pay a higher rate of interest
than any other line of industry They
market more products and have less
to say in fixing the price than any
other business and they get more
political buncombe and less construe
tive legislation than any other class
of peegde The fanners can only ac-
quire such influence In business In
government and In economics as will
enable them to shsre equitably the
fruits of their labot through organiza-
tion and every farmer on American
soil who desires to help himself and
his fellow plowmen should rally
around the Union

Just as the day was drawing
to a close and the sun was throw-
ing the lengthening shadows over
the broad earth an Angel came
to waft away another of our
honored citizens
On the evening of July 30th
1013 after a long continued ill
ness of seven months the spirit
of Saniual George Hruce pasted
from liis home in Leedey to its
reward in Heaven leaving a
stricken home and many sorrow-
ing friends
He was born in Luling Caldwell
County Texas September 17th
11 and Was tlu son of Averett
and Lide Hruce the latter was
with him at the time of his death
but his father preceded him to
his Eternal Home several years
ago
I r ILK) he was happily married
to Miss Grace Aikens to this
union were bora twolovelpchil-
dren Georgia and William
His wife and mother nursed
him with untireing energy and
devotion and administered to
his every want through all the
weary months
We cannot understand why a
young man of such sterling
wortli should he cut off so soon
hut “My thoughts are not your
thoughts neither are your ways
my way’s saith the Lord”
His life was short but not
small we cannot measure a life
by the number of days lived in
the world for “He lives most
who lives best” In his noble
jxjrposes and lofty ideas he still
lives in the hearts of his loved
ones and friends
- -As he nesmi the ‘end he Wt
this testimony with his faithful
wife “My Salvation is sure” lie
rests with God and the good
and there we shall see him again
The funeral was conducted at
the M E Church Soutli by tlie
pastor llev M M Monk assist-
ed by llev Morgan of the Haptist
Church His iall berers were
John Dick K F Wilson Dr F
W Alien Wm Wells E W
Huchunan and Tom Fox
Numerous and elegant flora!
tributes evidenced the love and
esteem of the relatives and
faiellds
He was lain to rest in the
Leedey- Cemetery’ Sunday after-
noon at 3:30 in the presence of a
large concourse of peoide who
morn their loss
May God’s richest blessings
and comforting grace le with
liis dear mother faithful wife
and loving children
Horn unto that undying life
They leave us but to come again
With joy we welcome the same
Except their sin and pain
And ever near tis though un-
seen The dear immortal spirit tread
For all the boundless universe
Is life— there are no dead
