Farmers Union Plans to Hold
Wheat for High Prices.
By Selling Grain Direct to Wholesal 1
Houses Farmers Would Get Greater ‘
Income From Their Crops. |
Springfield, Mo.—A plan to con
struct a chain of warehouses in the
grain producing territory for the pur
pose of holding wheat for high prices
was indorsed here by the mass meet
ing of the grain growers and cattle
growers’' branch of the National Far
mers’ Union, It is believed by dele
gates in attendance that farmers by
next season will be prepared to han
dle a large percentage of their crops
in this way,
At the invitation of the American
Society of Equity, the farmers also
promised to co-operate with that or
ganization. Theo G. Nelson, national
organizer for the equity society, aa
dressed the meeting.
The report of the committee on res
olutions, which was adopted, urges op
position to legislation which aims W
control railroad rates by ignoring
state's rights in the matter and in
dorses the efforts of congressmen to
obtain appropriations for agricultural
schools,
The use of cotton in the manufac
ture of twine, rope, sacks and other ar
ticles in common use is also indorsed.
1t was stated in the meeting that 6,
(00,000 more bales of cotton would be
consumed if manufacturers would use
the cotton of the south instead of im
porting jute from the Philippines.
National Organizer Nelson of the
equity society, in his address, told of
the comparative plans of that organi
zation,
“The object sought by the mem
bers of the grain growers department
this year,” said he, *“is much the
same as the purpose for which this
convention has becn called by the
Farmers’ Union,
“By collective marketing the mem
bers of the society will sell their
grain to the English and Scottish
wholesale co-operative societies of
Great Britain. In this way we will
pass crops by the speculator and be
our own middlemen., By getting for
themselves the profits which go to the
speculator and the middlemen, the
grain growers will, no matter wheth
er the price be high or low, get a
greater income from the sale of their
crops without the corresponding in
crease in cost of bread to the con
sumers.”
Birmingham, Ala., was selected as
the place for holding the next con
vention, which will meet Sept. 7.
WANT TARIFF QUESTION SETTLED.
J. J. Hill Says Business Will Then
Improve.
Washington, D. C.—James J. Hill,
the railroad magnate, called on Pres
ident Taft. He expressed the belief
that if the tariff agitation was cut
off short, that if the oratorical steam
in congress was shut off, the country
would begin a great era of prosper
ity at an early date.
“All eves are turned on Washing
ton,” said Mr. Hill. “Some people
seem to think that legislation will
cure the toothache, set a broken limb
or make crops. Talk and agitation
here in Washington keep people in
suspense, make them forget their
business and hope for some legisla
tive cure-all. What we want is to
have the tariff agitation over with and
let the people get back to work and
aid the great wheels of progress to
turn. Things will begin to hum. The
outlook is good in all directions.”
Speaking of the possibilities of age
riculture in the west and the south
Mr. Hill, who himself is a farmer,
owning one farm of 20,000 acres and
another of 6,000, said that these two
gsections are coming forward by leaps
and bounds. He declared that the
south 1 struggling to restore the soil

Aches and Pains
“No remedy that I have used has
been so sure a cure for pain of every
kind as Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills.
They are a sovereign remedy for
pain.” MRS. H. BRADEEN.,
Rapids, Mame,
Pains are in the nerves-—-all feeling
is; headache, toothache, neuralgia,
sciatica, rheumatic pains, backache,
etc.—They're all there, but in dif
ferent parts—lt's nerve trouble. 1
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
relieve the nerve irritation, and the
pain subsides—that’s all, no derange
ment of the stomach, no disagreeable
after-effects. That's why they are,
so popular with those that use them.
The first package will benefit; if not,
your druggist will return your money.
