To The Co-Operator: We are not

everything being considered.
We have seven Locals in the coun-
ty and are expecting an increase this
summer.
We have some as good material in
our Union as anywhere. We are ex-

WANTS COTTON BAGGING.
Editor Co-Operator: Monarch Local
Union at its last meeting adopted the
following resolutions, offered by Bro.
W. R. Laffoon:
Resolved, That we manufacture our
raw material into a finished article as
soon as possible.
Resolved, That we use no jute bag-
ging as long as we can get cotton or
Bome other material in its place.
E. L. DUNLAP,
Wilniar, Ark. Secretary.
INDORSES CO-OPERATOR'S COT-
TON PLEDGE.
Editor Co-Operator: I read with
much interest Co-Operator's suggestion
for individual pledges to hold cotton
and indorse it very heartily, but think
perhaps it ought to be strengthened
by a further agreement to give the
spinners the refusal of all pledged cot-
ton. However, I think the Union will
do this anyway, and I feel certain I
can give assurance that the Union in
Van Zandt County will do all in its
power to' carry out the plan and also
push Co-Operator.

WILL YOU JOIN US IN MAK-
ING A FORTUNE
;■
Nothing so surely offer? as safe an investment and larsre returns
as a good manufacturing stock. Probably you do not realize bow
many people tbat are enjoying a regular income as tlie results from
investing in manufacturing stocks. There are thousands of them
and they are largely those who bought, their stock when the op-
portunity was first offered. To secure shares at a low price before
the Company had been fully developed.
Stocks of many manufacturing companies have advanced from
a few dollars a share to prices ranging from $100.00 to S5.000.00
a share in value, and besides have paid hack to the investors in
dividends many times what they first invested. Many of the com-
panies are paying from 50 to 100 per cent in dividends on the
first price for stock.
To grasp this opportunity, purchase slock in the Empire Ma-
chine company at $35.00 a share. This Company is in the hands
of men whose ability and integrity cannot be questioned, and
these men pledge themselves to see that each and every investor
in the enterprise receives an equal division of the profits.
CONCRETE
Concrete has long been recognized as the building material of
the future; its development as such is becoming a necessity. Tbat
some new material is needed is proven bv the. diminishing supply
of wood, which is estimated will all he cut in 20 years.
Wooden buildings have practically a short life of usefulness
and buildings of brick, although they have a longer life, are
subject to weather conditions and will eventually disintegrate.
Concrete, on the contrary, when subject to the same conditions,
becomes stronger as time goes on.
The Empire Machine Company has just been organized as
manufacturers of Concrete Block Machines, Concrete Brick Ma-
chines, Concrete Mixers, Concrete Sidewalk Machines, Concrete
Fence Post Machines, etc.
This Company has been incorporated with a capital stock of
$250,000.00, divided into shares of par value $100.00 a share, tem-
porary price $25.00 a share.
Our Machines are fully protected by Fniled States Foreign
Patents. There is over ,300 per cent profit in their manufacture;
this enormous profit and the rapidly increasing demand for Con-
crete Machinery should make this stock pay dividends of 50 or
even 100 per cent a. year in the near future. Dividends will be
declared semi-annually.
LIBERAL PAYMENT PLAN
$ 5.00 down and $ 5.00 per month for 9 months buys 2 shares.
t 15.00 down and $ 10.00 per month for 11 months buys 5 shares.

THE EMPIRE MACHINE CO.
NASHVILLE. TENNESSEE
Editor National Co-Operator: To tell
you the plain truth all Central Ala-
bama is coming across shouting for
The Farmers' Xinion and will be at
the National convention at Little Rock,
September 10th, in full force to make
a stand with you for the minimum
price next fall.
We are making^^peeial crusade for
better rural schools and mean to de-
mand that our State *>rect an up-to-
date, modern sclioolliouse in every
county school district in the State, at
State expense, and that our country
children be furnished just as good and
as long a term of school as their city
cousins.
Our people are coming across, espec-
ially instructed for the initiative and
referendum and all those things which
tend to uplift the common country peo-
ple to a higher plane of living.
We feel that the favored aristocrat-
ic classes, drawing as they do every
inspiration and conclusion from that
old, unjust principle commonly known
as the "right of property," have gov-
erned this part of the world long
enough.
It is high time that the common peo-
ple assert their manhood and make
them come down from off their perch
and mingle with ns poor working mor-
tals who feed and clothe them with
our labor.
Ves, there is coming quite a change
of public sentiment among the peo-
ple, for the working farmers are think-
ing as they have never thought be-
fore, regardless of those old dogmas
which they have followed for genera-
tions at the bidding of the wealth own-
ers.
I desire to express my kindest re-
gards to the brethren of those coun-
ties which make up that large Dis-
trict Union of Central Arkansas, with
the assurance that their secretary has
not deserted them.
Brother Pyle, I wish to thank you
for the space you have always given
me in your paper and hope to be with
you and my many friends again in
the National convention in Septem-
ber.
Yours truly,
A. G. BUSH,
Organizer Bullock Co.
Inverness, Ala.
