"Dear Mr. Williams: 



"I have just listened over the radio to your 

 most excellent talk, "The Passing of the Hick,' 

 and am very much impressed with it. Please 

 send me a copy. If there is no objection on 

 your part, I would like to embody your 

 thought in a circular letter I am addressing to 

 all 'nons' on this railroad. I will have to 

 modify the text to fit our class and will be 

 glad to give you full credit in same for the 

 thought and be pleased to send you a copy. 



"As general chairman of the Order of Rail- 

 road Telegraphers on the Nickel Plate Road, I 

 have recently, through government arbitration, 

 secured 5.5 cents per hour per position to each 

 employee coming under the provisions of the 

 Telegraphers' Agreement, but in our midst as 

 with the farmers, there lurks and thrives the 

 blood sucking non-member, precisely as pic- 

 tured by you. 



"We are starting a drive for new members 

 and are endeavoring to make the railroad 100 

 per cent strong and we need just the thought 

 you have given me to put in my introductory 

 circular."

MARSHALL-PUTNAM SPEAKER ARRIVES IN AIRPLANE

Chairman of the Illinois Tax Commission, who arrived in a Curtiss-Robin airplane from

 mon and LaSalle Counties where he likewise addressed Farm Bureau picnics. 



Smith Asks Support 



For Marketing Act 



Reiterates Sentiment Expressed By 

 Executive Committee 



AN APPEAL for full support and co-opera- 

 '- tion to give the Agricultural Marketing 

 Act every chance to accomplish the purpose set 

 forth in its declaration of principles was made 

 by the president of the Illinois Agricultural 

 Association, Earl C. 

 Smith, in a series of 

 talks before Farm Bu- 

 reau picnics at Can- 

 ton, Kankakee, Morri- 

 son, and at the Fair- 

 bury Fair recently. 



At the same time 

 President Smith reiter- 

 ated the sentiment ex- 

 pressed by the I. A. 

 A. Executive Commit- 

 tee at its August meet- 

 ing to the effect that 

 full credit and respon- 

 sibility for the passage of the Marketing Act 

 rests entirely with the present administration 

 at Washington. 



Differences of View 



"It is well known that there are funda- 

 mental differences of view among farm organ- 

 izations, politicians and business men, as to 

 the essential fundamentals to restore the in- 

 dustry," said Smith. "Those differences have 

 been discussed from the platform, in the press 

 and even from the pulpit; and it seems to me, 

 at least, the time has arrived when all should 

 throw their forces together — welded in one 

 common tmit — to get the utmost benefits that 

 can be derived under the limitations of this 

 Act, thereby proving in practical trial the 



Farm Bureau membership drive. 



"Thanking you and assuring you we enjoy 

 the WLS programs." 



Otto Berlage, Jo Daviess county. 



Earl C. Smith 



economic and practical soundness of our dif- 

 fering views. Only by such co-ordination of 

 thought and action can we be brought together 

 so that in a short period of time any weaknesses 

 or limitations that may develop in attempting 

 to place this act into practical administration 

 can be most readily corrected. 



"If there ever was any justification for the 

 organization of farmers, it is doubly necessary 

 since the passage of this legislation. We all 

 must recognize the impossibility of each farmer 

 speaking for himself in matters of this charac- 

 ter, and the only hope of having proper repre- 

 sentation and voice in matters of state and 

 national character is through organizations such 

 as the Farm Bureau provides."

 death to one person, and with that limit per 

 person $10,000 for any single accident. The 

 service is limited to Farm Bureau members. 

 The cost of the insurance is expected to be 

 low. It is reasonably certain that the cost 

 will not be more than the premium deposit 

 required with application. 



The policyh61der will be protected against 

 attorneys' fees, court costs, hospital bills, and 

 a possible judgment against him (within the 

 limits mentioned) if his negligence as estab- 

 lished in court led to the injury. 



Unable to Get Out of the Rut 

 •IT^ERE A MOTORIST saw that an 



W automobile he was meeting could 

 not be driven out of a rut when six 

 rods away, and he did nothing to 

 avoid a collision therewith, be could 

 not recover for resulting damages. 



But if he were insured in the I. A. 

 A. Farm Bureau Company his policy 

 would protect him against loss.
