‘Deelighted’
THAT'S what Ex-President
Roosevelt used to say when he
found anything that pleased him.
IF Roosevelt was living to-
day, and should taste the biscuits
or rolls made from IDAHOME
FLOUR—we are sure he would
exclaim “deelighted/' for that's
what every lady is saying who has
used IDAHOME FLOUR.
THIS flour is made from se-
lected wheat and uniform in
grade. That's' why you don't get
one good sack and then one bad
one. Every sack of IDAHOME is
a good one; every sack of IDA-
HOME is guaranteed or your
money back.
STAY with IDAHOME and
your flour trouble will be over.

Being Neighborly.
Harkins had lived in his new
home but a few weeks and
scarcely knew his neighbors by
sight at the time of his fire. On
rushing out of the front door he
found two of them already on
the scene.
“I say,” Harkins cried, excit-
edly, “will you run to the corner
and give the alarm?”
“Very sorry,” explained the
man, “but I have a wooden leg
and can’t run.”
The other neighbor pressed
forward.
“I say,” said Harkins, turning
to this new ally, “while I am get-
ting the things out run over to
the corner of the street and
shout ‘Fire!’ ”
“I’m suffering from laryn-
gitis,” said the other neighbor in
a stage whisper.
There was not a moment to
spare, but Harkins found time to
turn to them and sav politely:
“Suppose both of you go into the
house and bring out easy chairs
and sit down here and enjoy the
blaze.”

E. C. COUNCIL
WINDOM, TEXAS
Alliance Has a Complete Politi-
cal Program to Carry Out.
Fort Worth, Tex., Dec. 9.-
Farm-labor as a vital factor in
the machinery of Government in
Texas will be sought in the Dem-
ocratic primary election of 1924,
it was made plain here today by
J. Lee Tarpley, president of the
newly-created Farm-Labor polit-
ical conference. Mr. Tarpley re-
turned to his home at Leonard
after attending the organization
session of the conference, the
second annual convention of the
Farm-Labor Union of America
and the organization meeting o+
the Texas Farm-Labor Union.
There is a kinship between the
organizations that have been in
session here since Tuesday and
the same men have dominated
the councils of all three, but
there are distinct and separate
organizations for all. The Farm-
Labor political conference is the
child of the Farm-Labor Union,
and combines in its representa-
tion organized labor crafts along
with “dirt” farmers.
The Farm-Labor political con-
ference is not only the political
rrm of the Farm-Labor Union,
but it is the joint creature of the
“dirt” farmers’ organization and
the labor unions of the state. It
will wage its own organization
campaign and seek to set up
unit conferences in every county
of Texas, but it will maintain an
effective system of liaison with
The parent organization.
With slight variations, the
Farm-Labor political conference
is no more than a rebirth of the
Nonpartisan political conference
that sponsored the candidacies of
Fred S. Rogers and Joe E. Ed-
mondson for Governor and Lieu-
tenant Governor in the Demo-
cratic primary last summer. The
Nonpartisan political conference
was governed and operated by a
committee of sixteen formed in
Dallas early in the campaign,
when representatives of the
Farm-Labor Union of America,
the four railway brotherhoods,
the Nonpartisan League and the
State Federation of Labor came
together and selected the candi-
dates for Governor and Lieuten-
ant Governor, with equal repre-
sentation. C. F. Goodridge, of
Fort Worth, representing the
Order of Railway Conductors,
was president of the conference.
Meanwhile, similar organiza-
tions differing in names were
operating in congressional dis-
tricts, counties and other polit
ical subdivisions. Formidable
candidacies were presented in
the two Northeast Texas con-
gressional districts and a good
many county officials bearing
the indorsements of the allied or-
ganizations were nominated in
the primary election.
In brief, the program that is
being worked out by the official
family of the Farm-Labor polit-
ical conference is this, as set out
by Mr. Tarpley.
“We have only one ultimate
purpose in view. We want the
farmer to do business on a ‘cost
plus a reasonable profit’ basis,
and we are going out and wa'o
an honest fight in the political
arena to make that possible. We
are not forming any third party,
and in Texas you can count us as
participants in the Democratic
primary now and in the future.
Similar organizations where the
farmers and laboring men have
enlisted in a joint campaign for
common purposes will function
in states throughout the Union
and their political complexion as
regards party affiliations will
take on the hue of the state con-
cerned.
“Our guiding star is the school
question and no matter what
may engage our attention we
shall continue to demand better
and longer terms for the rural
schools. It was the biggest plank
in our platform last summer and
it will continue to be our biggest
plank. We want a general re-
vision of the taxing system to
provide a heavy graded inher-
itance tax and rigid excess profit
and income taxes on the larger
incomes and we want anti-
profiteering laws that have teeth
and will bite.
“We stand firmly against the
employment of the military
and the use of detectives in
the settlement of labor contro-
versies. We are opposed to a
sales tax and we favor a 3 per
cent tax on oil. We favor the
collection of additional franchise
taxes to support the public
schools and bring in revenues for
the State Government without
additional ad valorem levies and
we want first, last and all the
