Push The Anti-WaF Propaganda Now

devoted to heralding anti-War material.
Kirkpatricks "War-4What t'or?" is
now on the market at so cents. The
National Office handles it. The dullest
reader on earth cannot miss it's mes
sage. Many comrades who, think very
well of this book have never read 1t
carefully. In general, we know that
its anti-war propaganda is powerful
Che value Of the book from the organi-
zation standpoint is what many of us
may not have noticed Chapter x,
entitled Now What Shall We Do
About it," is one of the strongest ar
guments for organization to be found
anywhere in Socialist literature. For
the organization purposes of "RED
WEEK" this chapter cannot be ex-
celled. \.
"The Human Slaughter House." by
William LamsZus. is a direct and ter
rible appeal to the conscience of civil
zation for revolt against the cumula-
| tive horror of the mechanics of mod
ern warfare It can be obtained from
the National Office for so cents.
The National Office also has publish
| ed three leaflets against war, which
meet the present situation: stStarve
the War and Feed America" ''The
Socialists and the Sword" by Kirk
patrick, and Socialism, the Lone Foe
of War;" by Benson. All these sell
cheaply enough to make them avail
able for house-to-house distribution.
Let all comrades give the fullest
publicity to the anti-war material of
which they have knowledge. War has
closed the shops, 1t has cut wages and
boosted prices = in every sense, it
thrusts straight to the heart Of the
working class. Laxity and failure in
working class organization leave our
government in the hands of the owners
of the peoples bread. Let us take
advantae of this monstrous situation
to prevent it's recurrence. We must
teach. The common right can never
be adequately safeguarded except by
the common intelligence. What is
taken by the sword must by the sword
be defended. Only the mighty lances
of thought evey pay for their Turkish
ing.

By education we mean more than
the book knowledge he gets at school
The farm boy Of today gets wider
education than the farm bow of thirty
or forty years ago. He is not iso-
lated. Through the different agencies
which have brought the farm and the
city closer together he has learned
to make comparisons for himself.
Give a boy good home treat ncnt,
and most farm boys get that kind
and the decision is going to rest
largely with him after all And in
majority Of cases he will decide wise
ly.
1t has always been cur observation
hat the majority of farm boys who
have left the farm have done so with
the best wishes of their parents and
they were not much worried over the
problem of how to change the boys
mind.
Of course many fathers have seen
their boys go into other lines Of bust
ness when it was their wish to have
5hom follow farming, hut after all we
believe this great problem of how to
keep the boy on the farm has worried
n whole lot of people more than it
he's worried the fathers and mothers
on the farm.
Some boys ought not to be farmers,
others ought to stay there. 1t de-
ponds upon what they are "cut out
for"
After all, whv should all other boys
he encouraged to find out what occu-
patton they are best suited for, and
the boys on the farm forced to stay
there? Why not give them the same
chance to let Nature have something
to say about it? The most Of them
that will make successful farmers will
decide to stay on the farm, and the
others will not stay anyway.
Tn order that the boys decision NAV
be right he must, however, have the
help of thoughtful, loving parents
who will give him all the opportunity
possible to see the advantage and dis
advantage cf farm life compared with
town or city life.

Keeping The Boy On The Farm

Pages and pages have been written
on this subject. Whole books have
even been devoted to it. Educators
have discussed it, orators have devot-
ed whole chautauqua speeches to it,
and statesmen have wre5tled with it..
The preacher who runs short of ma
terial for his sermons can always fall
back on the parable of the prodigal
son, and SO it is with the public speak
GER, the educator or the writer-he or
she can always find ready subject
when seeking TO interest farm people.
They can always offer advice as to
the best way of keeping the boys on
the farm.
No doubt some boys are still on the
farm that would not have staid there
had not their fathers and mothers fol-
lowed some Of these many suggestions,
but after all is said and done it IS
largely a problem that must be
worked out between parents and son.
What will interest young John
Smith ard will make him content to
stay by the old farm may not appeal
to VIII Jones little bit.
Some people make the mistake of
thinking that a hoy can be trained
down certain rules which are guaran-
teed to produce desired results if
closely followed.
A colt may be "broke" according
to hard end fast rules, but boy is 4
different animal. His likes and dis
likes must all be taken into considera-
ton and there are about as many DIFF
ferent dispositions among boys as
there are boys.
The roads are too good and the
means of travelling too easy to permit
"brealling" boy IS one does colt
That is, if the boy has spunk enough
to make him worth anything either
on or off the farm.
Education is great help in solving
the problem for many farm parents.
The boy learns a true comparison be
tween the farm and the city. Educa-
ton dispels the false impression Of
the city that the farm boy is apt to
have.

Of too small dimensions. 1t is desir-
able to provide space for a work

wise and rack for tools. and allowance
made for room to store oil, gasoline.
extra tires and other supplies. For
single car a size Of Is feet long
by IA feet wide by 8 feet high (in-
side measurements will be ample.
Method of Construction.
The foundations should be ~ inches
wide by 8 feet deep and should ex-
tend 5 inches above ground level to
provide for a concrete flo of this
thickness. The concrete for the foun-
dation should be made in the proper
ton cf l part Portland cement to 2A
parts sand to 5 parts screened gravel
or crushed rock. Upon the founda-
tions the 6-inch wall will he placed.
Make the walls Of / to 2 to concrete.
The walls are reinforced with 3sinch
round steel rods, spaced IA inches
apart, and running both horizontally
and vertically. The forms fer the
walls can be built the full height, or
movable ferns of height Of about
3 feet can be used. Forms are made
of 1-inch siding, well supported by
2x4 lumber to prevent bullying when
concrete is placed. The movable forms
are filled and raised each day until
the entire 9 feet is completed In
order that the car can be easily rpn
in and out if the garage, it is well
TO leave the entire entrance side open
and fitted with large swinging doors.

In the sides of the doorway imbed
bolts with heads in the concrete.
These bolts will be used later for fas-
tening the wooden door jamb which
carries the hinges for the doors. Pro
vide good sized window in each of
the three walls so that there will be
plenty of light on the car when il
is to be repaired or washed.
The concrete floor will be inches
thick, made Of l to 21A to concrete,
and rests directly on the ground. The
ground should be scraped and well

ground gasoline storage tank with a
pump extending up through the con-
crete floor.
The roof can be made either peaked
or fiat. The fiat form is much easier
for the average person to build. Such
roof should be constructed with a
slope of about inches toward the
back of the building to drain off wa
ter. Make the roof inches thick,
of 1924 concrete, and reinforced with
$-inch round steel rods spaced 5
inches apart for the short lengths and
9 inches for the long lengths. These
rods are located 1 inch from the bot
tom of the roof. Where the rods
cross, wire them together to prevent
shifting when the concrete is placed.
Over the doorway, where there is no
wall to support the roof, the weight
is carried by concrete beam 6 inch
es wide by IA inches deep, including
the thickness of the roof. Both beam
and roof are built at the same time.
Two inches from the bottom of the
beam place two @-inch square twist
ed steel rods. The form for the roof
consists of a fiat platform of 1-inch
boards on joists supported by upright
studding. BE sure that the forms
are strongly made and well support
cd so as to safely hold the weight
of the wet concrete. This form should
remain in place fer a week or two
after placing the concrete.
Make provision through the roof
for concrete chimney or sheet iron
smoke pipe for a small coal or gas
stove. The garage should be heated
in winter to prevent freezing of the
water in the cylinders and radiator Of
the car.

Small Fireproof Garages

To keep the automobile safely and
in the most efficient order and to pre-
serve lis appearance, there should be
provided a permanent, fireproof gar
age. Concrete is the most suitable
material for this purpose. A concrete
building is warm in winter and cool
in summer-very important consider
atoms for the motorist who likes to
tinker" on his machine-and its fire
proof qualities are selfevident and of
the utmost Importance where gasoline
is so freely used.

Keep the male birds separated from

Melting pots have swung In news

money for the cause. Kansas City
women made many personal sacr'f'

washings. others denying themselves
all candy. others giving up vacations.
Webster Groves women gave card
party: Clayton women gave a dance
to make money. but most Of the towns
held an exchange where homemade
products were sold. The West Plains
girls canvassed the town with market
baskets. asking contributions for their
