NJ. l.. Baker.

A comrade who attended the Inter.
national Congress at Stuttgart writes
as follows about the farmer and So
eialism:
"I am inclined to think that the
American farmer, even in the west,
may yet for some years be harder for
us to reach than is the European peas
ant-and he is not an easy PROPOSE
tion. Some progress is being made
over there. i had a talk with Paul
Lafargue a few days before leaving
Europe, in which he spoke of the head
way our propaganda is making among
the peasants in the southern France.
Until recently we could do nothing
with them. But now, says Lafargue,
all is changed. And what has changed
il, is the influence of the peasant s co.
opeative Jsocietiss That Is "a vine
growing region, you know. In the
past each peasant gathered his own
grapes and made them into wine on
his own place. But in recent years
they have learned to form cooperative
societies for this purpose, each society
covers a certain country side and owns
a wine-press and all apparatus for
doing the work much better AMI
with less labor than it could be done
by the peasants separately. These So
cieties have been very successful, and
Lafargue tells me that they have work
ed a revolutionary change in the psy-
chology of the peasants of the Midi.
The peasant sees now how much more
effective is collective than isolated in
dividual effort, and realizes that the
individual property which was form
erly his highest ideal is, after all, a
poor thing in comparison with partici-
patton in collective property"
1t has been truly said that "the
greatest effort and the least result is
found where each individual does all
things for himself; the greatest result
and the least effort is found where
there is the most complete specializa-
tion and exchange"
One of the most hopeful signs of the
times 10 that the farmers are begin
ming to grasp this truth and when they
once realize its full import and mechan.
ical power is applied to agriculture,
it will revolutionize the whole field of
this industry. In the streams Of this
Rocky Mountain region millions Of
horse power are running TO waste
which can be utilized only by collect
i've action. With collective action, and
collective ownership as well, this pow
er can and will be made to tighten the
labors and add to the happiness of
millions Of people.

Do It Easy.

"It is happy thing when revolu-
tions in individual communities or in
nations come about silently and as the
result of sober and not hysteriacl or
anarchistic thought. When this is
the case, il shows the dominance as
well as the wisdom of reason and the
subsection to its control of prejudice
and passion. A calm and well rea-
soned consideration of a question that
may be exercising the minds of people
whether it be a political question,
or some vexed matter involving a
moral principal, or the question of
officers, an eight hour day for labor,
or whatever it be-is certainly pre-.
ferable to the gusty and noisy uproar
of clamor. A revolution brought
about after quiet, orderly and
thoughtful discussion of a question in
al its bearings is far more impres
sive and creditable to the national
thought of the time. 1t is often even
better that thought and opinion should
not be forced in regard to a matter
where there are divided views and
honest consideration on both sides. 1t
is better to wait for new light and
for the influence of calm and more
searching and persuasive minds than
to force an obnoxious movement by
a violent and angry revolution"

IN SOCIETY

The cosy home of Mrs. Percy Sche-
BILE on Douglas street was the scene
of gay party last evening, when
the bridesmaids for the Culp-Vaughn
wedding and few others met to ex-
press their affection and hearty good
will towards one of their number,
who will appear amongst them no
more as Miss Ruby Vaughn.
The decorations at this affair were
in red; the lights were mellowed
with red crepe paper shades, and
myriads Of red paper hearts, strung
on ribbons, we've festooned from the
pillars and electric light fixtures to
the corners of the rooms, hall and
parlor.
After a delightful evening of mu-
sic and "reminiscences, the young
ladies assembled in the dining-room,
where the table was spread for lunch
con underneath a great, red heart,
hung from the chandelier and at
tached to red satin ribbons extending
to each place card.
Covers werA laid for the Mes
danes Reeves, Hines, Stevenson, Gill

Vaughn, Nellie Culp, Molly Morrison.

painted lemonade tankard.
After the repast, Miss Vaughn was
escorted to seat beneath a red pa
,rasol, suspended from the ceiling in
such a way that when the young la
dies drew the ribbons to a pulley at
the handle a shower of dainty kerr
chiefs rained down upon the BRIDE
elect, who, amidst the good wishes
and gay sallies OF her companions,
thanked them for their pretty gifts.
