Lewis, president of the Texas Farmers' union, tn a recent address to the fanners, said in part: "The Farmers' union Is the pioneer force In the cam paign for cheap money, warehouse facilities and a finan cial system adapted to the business of farming. The union has always stood for the best Interests of the farmer and, realizing that the task was so monumental as to require tho combined efforts of all forces, the Farmers' union blew the horn and called all hands together to build more warehouses and supply cheap money and, as a result, the farmers and business men aud the statesmen are now shaking hands over a bale of cotton. "The Farmers' union stands before tho public today proud as a king; glorying in its achievements and boasting of its possibilities of rendering a service to the men who follow tho plow. The union sounds the bugle call of organization summoning every yeoman to rally around its colors. In busi ness It stands for education and co-operation; In the home It stands for Sally ami the babies; in government it stands for constructive statesmanship. At the moment it directs the attention of the farmers of the South to ware housing and financing the present coltou crop. Fellow farmers, arise and salute King Coltou, a sovereign in whoso reifcu the prosperity of this state is involved and a ruler whose scepter turns the fleecy fiber into gold.

But Bill was built for busi ness arid made the wheels go round, and left a healthy fortune when they put him under the ground, lie was always taking chances, paid a hundred for a bull. His neighbors called him cray, but be left a stable full of cows lira; broke the record, making butter 1 by the ton, nn' has his picture ; printed in the Sqiieedunk Weekly i Sun. He had new tangled notions ; of making farming pay. He even bought a fool machine to help him j load his hay. The neighbors fair- ly snorted when they saw the ; ; bloomin' thing; said Bill would never make it work. It wasn't worth a ding! Bill didn't say a single word, and didn't care a darn 'bout what they said, fer slick as grease, his hay went in the barn an hour before a thunder storm came sailin' out that way and caught his neighbors in a pinch and spoiled their new mown hay. Bill's neighbors put their milk in cans, and set 'em in a tank. Bill skimmed his milk with a machine and turned it with a crank. Smith chops his firewood with an ax. Bill used some gasoline and saws a hundred cords a day with anoth er blame machine. Today Bill's wife rides in a car and dresses up in silk. Smith's wife rides in a wagon and keeps on skimming milk.

Therefore, how important It Is that these two should fully understand each other, and work together not only for their own commercial advancement but lor the prosperity of the nation. "The farmers and the railways are natural allies in all their Interests. It Is difficult to conceive of greater service to the commonwealth than that of firmly fixing in the minds of both the railway s and tho farmers that they are mutually dependent and that the prosperity of one depends on tho pros perlty ot the other, but that suspicion and misunderstanding destroy the various Interests of both. Many of tho most progressive and far-seeing rail ways have fully recognized this relation and dependence "In the study of economic conditions in all branches of human endeavor. Irom the birth of our nation down lo within quite recent years, we are aston ished at the utter lack of the cooperative principle -the 'work together' idea and not only that, but extreme selfishness and purblind prejudice has more apparently dominated III the different branches of trade and other ave nues of enterprise.
