Better Times Are Ahead for Farmer. Claim \olc of Optimism Sounded by Union President and Sec retary—Work of Or ganization Praised. "Wo are Justified In our pride for our organization, and we are more than justified for nur faith that better times are at hanrf for American farm ers," declared Charles S. Barrett, president of the National Fanners' union, in his talk before that body in Hotel Castle Wednesday morning. "The Farmers' union through years of experience has been at last suc cessful in driving home the principles on which such un improvement must lie based." A. C.

" No Need to Be dyspeptic If Stomach Sours, Gets Gassy and Heavy, Sweeten and Lighten With Stuart's Dyspep sia Tablats. One never grow# too old to forget the delights of eating. And yet old people will sometime# play on these memories j ind bring on dyspeptic attacks even though ' the diet be simple.- Every family should j he supplied with Stuart'* Dyspepsia Tab lets. From childhood to old age they daily overcome or prevent the distresses due to indigestion. They sweeten the stomach by giving it the alkaline effect as in health, | they absorb the gases, they lift off the feeling of heaviness, they stop sour ris ings or heart burn, they actually assist in the digestion of food, and from *11 point# of view are one of the most invaluable aids to hea'th to be found. So, no matter v hat you eat. if your stomach rebels, al ways remember that a 60-cerft box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will keep your stomach sweet and thus aid to prevent much of the distress that conies late in life. For a Cleaner Omaha Ozark Lump COYER y AN griMN Lumber ■ end la Coal Co. OVER M YEARS OF SUCCESS retary-treasuror of tile union, gave his annual report Wednesday, de claring that while not all of the union's moves had been successful, still Its "larger activities have shown such a marked success and their transactions have been so highly re munerative to its membership that the few failures have hardly made a ripple at the surface." Millions Invested. "The membership now lias millions of dollars invested in co operative ele vators, flour mills, lumber ami coal yards, stores, creameries, state ex changes, cotton gins and tanneries," said Secretary Davis. "In addition to the millions of dollars In co-operative turnover of these capitalized institu tions. the membership shares in the co-operative proiits of numerous non stock. *nonprofit commodity marketing associations." Secretary Davis spoke of the re cent effort to cell grain at terminal markets, declaring that the first month of business by the Nebraska farmers* union on the market at Omaha, where It acquired a seat <m the exchange a short time ago, "Is remarkable for the fact that a co operative institution made a profit the first 30 days of opeiation." "The farmers organized the first Co-operative Livestock Commission company ever attempted In the Unit ed States." continued Secretary Davis. "This company began busi ness in the Omaha yards some years igo. and was so successful that the union has its own selling agencies In St. Joseph. Mo., Sioux City, la., Kansas City, Mo., South St. Paul. Minn., Chicago, Denver. Wichita, and ;if£lllates with the Missouri Farmers association in the Fast St. Louis market." National Organizer Speaks. A third talk which occupied the at tention of the convention was by \V. C. Lansdon, national organizer and lecturer. Commenting on the re cent formation meeting of the Na tional Advisory Wheat committee in Chicago, Mr. Lansdon explained that "it is the plan of the committee to support and assist all existing wheat organizations that are properly con stituted and in this work it desires, and If successful must have, the con fidence and active support of all In lerests, agricultural or otherwise.” "The Farmers uniori is in position, in most of the big wheat states, to make or break the wheat pooling movement. I feel that this is a mat ter that should have serious consid eration at this meeting." Pinchot on Program. Reports of executive committee and other committees were heard at the morning meeting. The educational committee in its report, urges that the law which makes it necessary for the child to get at least a practical education he enforced, and also urges a rigid censorship of motion pictures Governor Gifford Pinchot of Penn sylvanla, was to address the conven tlon Wednesday afternoon.

"The prohibition law is being en forced hi PennsylVan a." Tills statement was made by no iess authority than Gifford Pinchot, gov ernor of Pennsylvania. Governor Pinchot, whp since the death of Senator Penrose has become a great political figure In his own state and in the nation, arrived in Omaha Wednesday to address the Na tional Farmers' union convention at Hotel Castle. "I’m-sorry, but I can't talk poli ties," said Governor Pinchot, and he really seemed to regret the fact. "I'm here to talk to the farmers, and for no other reason. I'll hold no political conferences either while I'm In Omaha.” "How about prohibition? That really Isn't a political question, Is it?" the governor was asked. "No, I can talk about prohibition freely. We are enforcing prohibition in Pennsylvania. We're doing It with the aid of the state police. “No, I wouldn't care to give ad vice to other states on how prohibit tion should he enforced. I only want to say tho first serious effort to en torce prohibition in Pennsylvania is being made and we are making real progress." Governor Pinchot said progress in (-leafing up -the coal situation is be ing made. "A satisfactory market for farm products is the fundamental need of the fawner anil this can be aided by extension of co-operative endeavor ond construction of deep waterways," said Governor Pinchot. “Co-operation, more than any oth ■ Giffbtd ^Kckot er single remedy, points out the "ay," continued the governor, em phaslzlng his belief that the farm ers’ market lies mainly in American towns and cities. "We need an enormous increase of co-operation—co-operative storage, co-operative buying and co-operative selling by farmers. We also need to see produetioi] adnpated to the mar ket.” Distribution is the farmers' next biggest problem, the governor be lieves. So long as it costs as much or more to niHrket what the farmer grows as it does to grow it, the con sumer will pay too much for his food and the farmer get too little for his crops, he declared. Ford Man Compares Declares Tin Wizard Maintains Indifference Henry With Lincoln Henry Ford was compared with Abraham l.incoln at the Castle ho. tel by Robert R. Pointer of Dear born, Mich., secretary of the Dear born Ford-for-President rlnb, and chairman of the committee on ar rangements for the national con ference of Independent-Farmer-I.a hor-Progressive-l.lberal elements In progress at the hotel. Tlie chief point of likeness ap pealed to be Mr. Pointer’s convic tion that Mr. Ford is not seeking the presidency, that tile presidency is seeking him. ‘‘He wouldn't give a dime to be nominated," Mr. Pointer declared. "He wouldn't contribute to any campaign fund." “What party would he affiliate wlthf" Mr. Pointer was asked. “Wait until after the meeting on December II at Dearborn of the people who want him to run,” was the answer.

Shorthill. secretary of the as sociation, told of the necessity for a tnarketlng plan whereby a "farmer's market" w-ould be established in Oma ha. The necessity for such a market was not only for the disposal of grain, but for other farm produce. "The grain and the livestock is well handled from our elevators," Mr. Shorthill said. "But there are other products that are sold In any way [josslble. Kggs, for instance, often are lold to a store for leas than they would bring In other pl.n es. P<*tn toes. onion* and other* vegetable* are the s,Tm«» way. “This morket would.prmide for tfie disposal of all those* things.
