Who tfas Blundered !

A few years ago the farmers OF
this country, blessed with bounteous
crops, could scarcely secure enough
cash for their surplus which went to
feed and clothe the nation, 10 buy
the bare necessities that they were
unable to make on their farms.
Now the crowded populations Of
the cities and towns can scarcely
make enough from their labor to
buy their food and clothing and pay
their rents. This is true Of those
even who have steady jobs, While
countless thousands, out Of work
half Of the time, drift TO the slums
and 10 degradation.
Yet all the time the country has
been producing plenty for all. More
than enough food, more than enough
clothing from the fields, while the
mines and the forests give up more
than is necessary for warmth and
shelter
Backward and forward the country
seeSawS between these hard condl-
tons Of city or country life, What
is the trouble2
Who has Numbered? Where are
the weak points in our system?
No one seems to know. Standpat

SUSPEND TwENTY-THREE PUPILS
Dance at High School Junior Prom
Anglers Principal.

Lawrence. Kan; May 4.-The trou-
BILE in the high school has resulted in
the suspension of twenty-three of the
pupils who were engaged in the dance,
after Principal Olney had forbidden
them to take part in them.
The occasion was the Junior prom
of the high school, on Friday night.
The school authorities had forbidden
dancing, and to avoid the order, the
pupils adjourned the prom early,
and left the hall. A number of them
returned soon after, however, and one
of them had engaged the hall for a
dance. The ones who wanted to dance
paid an admission fee and danced as
long as they desired.
Principal Olney took the names of
all who danced, and later sent them
home from school under suspension.
