Keeping ‘these general ideas in mind, they built the Nonpartisan league, and have kept it going with some success ever since, by signing up new members for two and three years at a time, collecting big enough membership dues so they know they belong to something real, and finally by neutralizing the internal squabbles by the “We’ll Stick” idea. All of this is an old story to most of us, of course, but I am repeating it because I believe there are a million or two farmers, including many readers of the Farm Journal, who right now are scratching their heads and wondering what in the world they ought to do to help the farming business in general and themselves in particular. that the Nonpartisan leaguers, with all their faults, have marked out pretty plainly the simple and effective line of action for us to take— Sign, Pay and Stick. The farming business needs a Moses to lead it into the Promised Land, and it is sure to get one, but neither Moses nor any other leader ever got anywhere, or ever will, without a flock of followers who are warranted to follow through thick and thin. very few of us can be Moses, and it follows that if we are going to be anything at all, we must be followers, faithful or unfaithful. long war in North Dakota and Minnesota and Wisconsin, the Nonpartisan league has accomplished things because the membership has stuck. The followers followed. - BRIEF A famous man once got a reputa- tion for brevity as follows: “A friend wrote at length tellinge him of his marriage and gave a description of his bride. To which the famous man re- plied: “Dear Blank: Hurrah! Yours Sincerely.” A ‘few years later the man’s wife died and he wrote the famous man a léngthy description of her illness and funeral. received the following reply: Blank: Alas! Yours truly.” * % % THE YOUNG MAN’S CROP OF WILD OATS WOULD BE LESSEN- ED BY MORE EFFICIENT THRESHING. . * * * MIGHT BE TRUE, AT THAT When Mr. Hicks was elected to the school board an unfortunate typogra- phical error ‘made the newspaper headline read: “Hick gets office.” * . % % HISTORY A lot of things have happened since patriotic American citizens rose in armed rebellion against the government tax on whisky, which they claimed made the price of that necessary beverage too high, and since a band of lib- erty Ioving Pennsylvania back- woodsmen offered to organize a regiment of volunteers to help Greece gain independence from Turkey, providing a fund was raised to furnish each man a gal- lon of whisky and a bushel of corn as provisions for_ the expedition.

For another, that in this vale of tears and taxes nothing worth a whoop can be done without money. Finally, that farmers will always begin fighting among themselves, like other human beings, unless a special Cut and Dried - - To which he ~ They know, for And it seems to me It is perfectly plain that In all the NOT FAR OFF Little Willie was asked to explain the two-party system in our govern- ment. “Well;” he said, “there are two parties.

Hydro-United Tire Ce. Dept. 149 Chicago or Philadelphia Easy Now to Rid YourFarmofRats Wonderful Discovery by Noted Scientist Kills Every Rat Within a Week’s Time— Not a Poison. Rats cost farmers over two hundred millions of dollars a year, through the destruction of grain, poultry and buildings. Farmers need no longer suffer this loss because they can now kill off all the rats on their farm in This is pos- sible through the remarkable discov- ery of E. R. Alexander, a Kansas City chemist, who has perfected a virus which kills rats, mice and gophers as though by magic. This product is not a poison—it can be eaten by human beings or any animal on the farm as safely as their regular food, but means quick, sure death to rats. This wonderful rat virus, which is known as Alexander Rat-Killer, is merely mixed with bread or meat scraps and placed where rats, mice or gophers can get to it. Within a few hours after a rat has eaten Alexander Rat-Killer he gets a high fever and suffers a terrible thirst. He leaves the barns and nesting holes and goes to the open fields in search of pure air and running water. Rats and mice affected always die away from the barns and houses, so there is no odor. 1t is a_scientific fact that one rat affects others and soon the whole col- ony leaves the buildings and dies. And though this virus is absolutely deadly to rats—chickens, hogs, cattle or any farm animal can- eat it and not be affected at all. So confident is Mr. Alexander that Alexander Rat-Killer will kill every rat on your farm in less than a ‘week’s time that he offers to send, as an in- troductory offer, a regular $2.00 tube for only $1.00. Give it according to directions, and if at.the end of a week’s time you are able to discover any rats, mice or gophers on your farm, your money will be refunded. A big Kansas City bank guarantees that Mr. Al ander is reliable and will do as he says. Send NO MONEY. _Just write to E. R. Alexander, Alexander Laboratories, 118 Gate- way Station, Kansas City, Mo., and the tube will be mailed at once. When it arrives, pay the postman only one dollar and postage on the guarantee that if not absolutely satisfac- tory your money will be returned without ques- tion. Write today—a, postcard will do—and stop your rat losses now. X Mention the Leader When Writing Advertisers lex- - ] i
