three eights with the determination to
get that trice just aa they were three
months ago They are organizing
more thoroughly t and extensively than t
ever before and they are more conti
dent than ever that victor will ne
their reward in the enl i They a re not

thy are realizing taut the trust is
very much aware of their growing
power They believe it Is not so much
n matter of a few cents more tnat
Keeps tne trust trout paying them eigLt
cents round for their tot acco that
outs but the idea that in so doing it
would virtually acknowledge the MI
perior power of the farmers in the
