In the subiugation Of the great west
many agencies have contributed as
the march of civilization has progress
ed, but in the real transformation OF
the prairie from its wild state into
farms and homes few things have en-.
tered so largely as the barbed wire
fence. The older settlers of this
prairie region know something of the
expense and great labor involved in
irving to fence a farm with rails haul
ed miles and miles from the little belts
of timber along the streams. All
sorts Of devices were invented to
make a few thousand fence rails go as
far as possible But with the advent
of barbed wire large farms began to
appear far out on the prairies, and
the beginning of the end of the great
range days was at hand.

What we are all engaged IN today is
not so much a scramble for the money
that is but secondary We are en-
gagged In a monstrous experiment to
see what is the least number of pro-
ducers we can have for a given num-
Der of consumers. We are engaged In
'divorcing our population from our pro-
.duction. Some we are sending abroad.
Some we send TO Wall Street. Some
We send to Washington and other DO.
litical centers Some we send to the
pulpit. platform or editorial chair.
Some we put into charitable work.
Some We send to the bread-llne. A
large number we just throw out Of
employment without providing any
particular place for them. And so on.
We have been getting on pretty well.
But there is a limit coming. Just
