Farmers Union County Picnic
The" Farmers Union of this county
held their annual picnic at Covrles '
last Saturday It was attended by!
members of the various .locals through
ourirevounty, as well as the members
of their families and many ot their'
f i lends. Henry Keener, chairman of
the organization presided. An unus
ually line program was rendered
During the morning an. able address
was delivered by Rev. Ira Wagoner.
This was followed by an ellegant pic
nic dinner which was thoroughly en
joyed by all present Several refresh
ment stands were on the grounds
which were liberally patronized.
The afternoon program included sev.
cral soul's, duets, solos and addresses
Bach local of the Uuiou provided one
or more to take part iti the program of
speaking or singing.
One of the principal speakers of the
day was Mr. Watts pf Omaha, manager
of the State Exchange. Bis address
touched briefly on primary and prin
cipal objects of the organization; the
work that had been accomplished in
tbe state by the various unions He
stated that the amount of business
trausaoted proved that the Exchange
at Omaha had been profitable, and that
Kansas City and St. Joe, operating only
a short time, showed a bauk account
of ItO.OoO profit. He called attention
to tbe fact that the State Exchange,
at Omaha, was doing the largest busi
ness of any single firm in the state
and that it was attracting the attent
ion of other states. He also stated
that If the Union Commission House
could seoure one naif of the fat stock
of the members of the organization it
would do a business that would greatly
surprise the members.
The next speaker to take the stand
was Prof. Hlbberd of- the Economic De
partment of the Wisconsin University,
who selected as a topic for discussion,
"Farm Organization". After several
interesting stories be turned bis at
tention to tbe history of tbe Grange
and Farmers Alliance. He" cautioned
the Union about too fast an expansion
in business. One part of his address
appeared to disappoint his audience
his remarks concerning the packers
and the problems of the high cost of
living, fie endeavored to leave the
impression that tbe Five Big Packers
had committed uo serious offense and
that the high cost of living was not of
as serious a nature as is thought by
many.
The appearance of Rev. Beebc on the
speaker's stand caused a burst of ap
plause, as his reputation as a deep
thinkor and forceful speaker has be
come known throughout this common
Ity. The manner in which ho handled
"The High Cost of Living" attracted
aud held the attention of his audience.
After the speaking program had
boen brought to u close the attention
of all was brought to thB program of
races and sports, which was enjoyed
by both young nnd old.
The Plaliivicw band rendered a very
interesting nnd appropriate musical
program.
Miss Lena Rathjen returned home
the last of the week from Minneapo
lis where she had been visiting her
brother, Will Rathjen.

"The Cabinet Sold My Wife
The Music Then Sold Me"
A NEW EDISON OWNER WAS SPEAKING
"You sec, Aljce is a furniture 'fan', is interested in in
terior decoration knows all the periods and the careers
of the famous designers,.
"What a beautiful Sheraton piece, she exclaimed, as we
passed the store window. Note the rich tints of the ma
hogany; the perfect proportions.
"We entered.
"She raved about the classic purity of the period models.
Then we listened to the instrument. That got me.
"I don't doubt the s1lo-.tnans claim about the tone test that no one
can tell the artist from the instrument when they're pitted against
each other. He said itcost 61,000,000 to perfect the. New Edlsou Any
how thats the story of how we happened to b'nyAtii I'm certainly a
booster." " ' '
