There is already one rural star

Little Jimmy is sad. He doesn't ex-
actly understand. 1t is all hazy and
blue and dim to him. He's only a little
shaver, barely able to toddle around and
bother folks and babble queer little
phrases. Just big enough to be a regu-
lar sunlight around the home of Big
Bill, the fireman.
But little Jimmy's daddy was brought
home dead and cold yesterday and to-
day there's crepe on the door and over
at strike headquarters there are sinister
nutterings and vague forebodings. Lit
tie Jimmy and little Jimmy's mother
are very quiet.
That gives us just a cross section of
the great world fight of the working

1t is part of the story in which we
learn that it is only through great hui

vance to the goal of the enlightened
working class.
Before every great strike is called it
is almost an absolute certainty that a
certain number of workers will be killed

numbers of babies will be underfed that
