INSPIRATION OF
THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford.

When you enter the agricultural de-
partment OF the county fair, you feel
your soul uplifted and your life takes
on new power-that Is the inspira-
ton of the SOIL You are overpowered
by the grandeur and magnif1cence of
the scene-that is the spirit of the
harvest. You can hear the voice Of
nature calling you back to the soil
that is opportunity knocking at your
door. 1t is good chance to spend a
quiet hour in contact with the purity
and perfection of nature and to sweet
en- your life with it's fragrance, elevate
your ideals with its beauty and expand
your imagination with it's power.
These products as food are fit for
the gods, and as an article of COM
merce they ought to bring tip-top
prices on any market in the world.
The products OF the soil are teachers
and preachers as well. Their beauty
gives human life its first entertain
ment, their perfection stirs the genius
in artists; their purity furnishes mod
els for growth of character and their
marvellous achievements excite our
curiosity and we inquire into the won
derful process Of nature.
Before leaving the parlor OF agricui.
ture where nature is parading in her
most graceful attire and science Is
climbing the .giddy heights of perfec-
ton, let US pause and take retro
spective view. How many of you
know that after these wonderful prod.
ucts are raised, they can seldom be
marketed at a profit? Take the blush.
ing liberia, for example-they were
fed to the hogs by the carload last
year. The onion-the nations favorite
vegetable-every year rots by the
acre in the Southwest for want of a
market and as a result hundreds of
farmers have lost their homes. Cot.
apitalist-often goes
begging on the market at less than
cost of production.
IL is great to wander through the
exhibits while the band is playing
Dixie" and boast of the marvellous
fertility of the soil and pride ourselves
on our ability to master science, but /
1t is also well to remember that there |
is a market side to agriculture that .
does not reflect its hardships in the
exhibits at county fair.

OUR PUBLIC FORUM
l---IntrOduCtOry

Through the Press Service of Agri-
minds of this nation will be invited
to the public forum and asked to de-
liver a message to civilization. Men
who achieve seldom talk, and men
who talk seldom achieve. There is
no such thing as a noisy thinker, and
brevity is always a close companion
to truth.
1t will be a great privilege to stand
by the side of men who can roll in
place the cornerstone of industry; to
associate with men who can look
at the world and see to the bottom
of it; to commune with men who can
hear the roar of civilization few
centuries away.
Too often we listen to the rabble
element of our day that cries out
against every man who achieves,
Cruelty him." Mankind never has
and probably never will produce
generation that appreciates the genius
of it's day. There never will be a
crown without cross, progress with
out sacrifice or an achievement with
out a challenge.
This is an age of service, and that

ANNUAL MEETING
Of AMERICAN
PLOWMEN
National Farmers Union Renders IN
selfish Service to Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford.

The National Farmers Union will
hold its annual convention in Lincoln
Nebraska, on September seventh, and
will round out the eleventh year of
its activities in the interest of the
American plowman. When that con-
vention Is called to order every farm
er in America should pause and bow
his head in honor of the men gath
cred there to render a patriotic and
unselfish service to agriculture. That
organization, born In the cotton fields
OF Texas, has grown until geograph-
ically it covers almost the whole of
the United States and economically
it deals with every question in which
the welfare of the men who bare
their backs to the summer sun are
involved. 1t has battled for a better
marketing system, rural credits, cheap
money, diyersifcation, scientific pro-
duction, agricultural legislation and
has carried on its work of education
and cooperation in season and out.
The Farmers Educational and Co
operative Union of America brings
the question of organization squarely
before every farmer in this nation.
Without organization the farmers can
neither help themselves nor be helped
by others and through organization
and systematic effort all things are
possible.
The farmers of the United States
contribute more and get less from
government than any other class of
business. They have better securities
and pay a higher rate of interest
than any other line of industry. They
market more. products and have less
TO say in fixing the price than any
other business and they get more
political buncombe and less construc-
tive legislation than any other class
of people. The farmers can only ac-
quire such influence in business, in
government and in economics as will
enable them to share equitably the
fruits of their labor through organiza-
ton and every farmer on American
soil who desires to help himself and
his fellow plowmen should rally
around the Union.

CRASHING At The SHADOW

No man-especialIy if he is mar.
ried-would deny woman any right
she demands. Take the earth and
give US peace, but why does woman
long for the ballot?
When all is said and done, is not
the selection of the butcher more i'm
portant to the home than the election
of mayor: is not the employment Of
the dairyman far more important
event in the life of the children than
the appointment of postmaster; is
not the selection of books for the
family library more important than
voting bonds for jail and court house?
Why does woman lay aside the i'm
portant things in life? Why leave the
substance and grasp at the shadow?
Be it said to the credit of woman
hood that it is not, as a rule, the
woman who rocks the cradle that
wants to cast the ballot; 1t is not
the mother who teaches her children
to say Now lay me down to sleep"
that harangues the populace; it is not
the daughter who hopes TO reign as
queen over a happy home that longs
for the uniform of the suffragette. 1t
is, as rule, the woman who despises
her home. neglects her children and
scorns motherhood that leads parades
and smashes windows.

UNIVERSAL PEACE

This nation is now in the midst OF
mote universal peace. That question
we will leave for diplomats to dis
cuss, but peace within nations is no
less important than peace between
nations and it is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and ofttimes
political platforms have declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted. Many men have stood
in high places and hurled gas bombs"
at industry; thrust bayonets into bus.
mess enterprises and bombarded ag.
riculture with Indifference Party
leaders have many times broken dip
lomatic relations with industry; sent
political aviators spying through the
affairs of business, and political sub
marines have sent torpedoes crushing
into the destiny of commerce. Dur.
ing the past quarter of a century we
have fought many duel with prog
ress, permitted many politicians to
carry on a guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point pistol at the
heart of honest enterprise.
No man should be permitted to CRY
out for universal peace until his rec
ord has been searched for explosives,
for no vessel armed or laden with
munitions of war should be given
clearance to sail for the port Of Uni
versal Peace. Let US by all means
have peace. but peace, like charity,
should begin at home.

POLITICAL G0sslPS

When one class of people has any
the custom to make a political issue
out of it instead of a friendly discus
sion, to print it in law book instead
of newspaper and to argue it be-
fore a jury instead of to settle it in
the higher courts of Common Sense.
As result, political agitators, polit-
zeal lawyers, political preachers and
masculine women are powerful in
politics and dissension, selfishness, in
tolerance and Mysteries run rampant
in public affairs, for when the low,
damp, murky atmosphere of misun-
derstanding envelops public thought
1t breeds political reptiles, vermin,
bugs and lice which the pure air of
truth and the sunshine of understand
ing will choke to death.
We have too many self-appointed
interpreters of industry who are in
capable of grasping the fundamental
principles of business and who at best
can only translate gossip and add
color to sensational stories. No bust
ness can stand upon error and might
rules-right or wrong. No industry
can thrive upon misunderstanding,
for public opinion is more powerful
than Kings sword.
When prejudice, suspicion and
class hatred prevail, power gravitates
into the hands of the weak, for dema-
gogues thrive upon dissension and
statesmen sicken upon strife.
The remedy lies in eliminating the
middleman-the political gossip-and
this result can be accomplished by
the managers of business sitting
around the table OF industry and talk
ing it over with the people. Inter
change of information between indus
tries and the people is as necessary
TO success in business as interchange
in commodities, for the people can
only rule when the public under
stands. Away with political interpret
ers who summon evil spirits from
their prison cells and loose them to
prey upon the welfare of the people
in the name of My Country"

AMENDS To CHILE
MADE BY BRITAIN
Offers Full Apology for the Sink
ing of the Dresden in Waters
of Republic.

LONDON, April 16.-The British gov
ernment has offered "a full and ample
apology to the Chilian government for
the sinking on March IA in Chilian terri
torial waters of the German cruiser
Dresden, the internmcnt of which had
already been ordered by the maritime
governor of Cumberland bay when the
British squadron attacked and sank
her.
This fact was made public last night
in a White Paper, giving the texts Of
the Chilian note protesting against the
sinking of the Dresden and the British
governments reply.
The note delivered by the Chilian min
lister to Great Britain says that the
Dresden anchored in Cumberland bay
(Juan Fernandez Island) March 9. and
asked permission to remain eight days
for the purpose of repairing her en-
gines, which were said to be out or
order. The governor refused the re-
quest. as he considered 1t unfounded.
and ordered the captain to leave the bay
within twenty-four hours. AS the order
was not complied with, the captain or
the Dresden was informed that his ship
was interned.
When the British squadron appeared
on March Il. the governor was pro-
ceeding to the cruiser Glasgow to in
form the British officers of the steps
he had taken. but he had to turn back,
as British ships opened fire on the
Dresden, on which a flag of truce
already had been, hoisted, and called
on her captain to surrender. The cap
tain then gave orders to blow up the
magazine of the Dresden.
This act of hostility committed in
Chilian territorial waters by a British
naval squadron" says the Chilian min
lister. has painfully surprised my gov
ernment."
Continuing, the minister says that had
thu officer in command of the British
squadron received the governor and
been informed that the Dresden was
interned, he was convinced the Brit
ish commander would not have opened
fire on her and brought about a situa-
ton which constrains the Chlian gov
ernment, in defense of its sovereign
rights. to formulate a most energetic
protest"
