heavy, and in the darkness these
parties did not know how to get
back Caselberg on his own initia-

on each occasion. His total di5re-

DR.. Magnes began then his call for
contributions.
''Will any one of you give $10,O0O?" he
shouted. will any one of you give $751;
900, $1,000, $100?"
When the donations began to dwindle
to $780, DR.. Magnes would not make that
sum his aim.
Come, people, he exclaimed. "Will
any of you give 500? Will any of you
give $1,000? Will any of you give $780,
600? Will any of you give $4,000? There
are rich people here whom we have not
heard from. There are people here who
can give $4,000 apiece and they have no
right to refuse. Will any of you give
$20,0OO?"

And so it went on. DR.. Magnes seemed
always to have his finger on the pulse of
the crowd. When the contributions were
coming rapidly he announced them as
they were handed in Did the people lag,
he told another story of an atrocity, or
made another ringing appeal. One no.
ticeable feature of the enthusiasm was
that number Of persons who responded
with 500 and more on the first appeal
doubled their gifts in later contributions.
One contribution that was as much
applauded as any of the large ones an
nOunced was from man who sent
note to the stage saying that he would

Call for Jewels.
Il attended a meeting at the Grand
Central Palace during the pogroms OF
1906, conducted under the auspices of the
Jewish Defense Association. At that
meeting some of the poorest of the poor
Jews of New York were present, and
many of them tore the rings out of their
ears and took the rings from their fing-
ers and the watches from their pockets,
and emptied their clothes of their ma
terial wealth and gave to the fund we
were collecting.
Are there any Jews here tonight who
will take the rings from their fingers,
and the jewels from their ears, and the
money from their pockets and give it to
us now? Do you answer? Are there any
here who will do that?
And are there other Jews here who
will sign these slips that have been pre-
sented to ali Of you? Those of you who
can, sign in the thousands. Are there
those of you here who will do this now,
tonight, while those beyond the seas in
Russia, in Galicia, in German Poland, in
Siberia, throughout the Ottoman Empire,
and in the cradle Of our race, in Pales-
tine, are waiting for our answer"

By T. N. Carver, Professor of Eco
nomics, Harvard University.

1t is not the hard work or the
exposure or even the poverty of the
farmer or his wife which makes
farm life so unattractive to so many
of our people. 1t is the lack of team
work. | have never known men
and women, particularly young men
and young women, of our race to
shrink from hardship if they could
feel the touch of elbows and have
the sense of comradeship which the
soldier has. Our boys and girls as
well as the men and women of the
farm should develop team work.
They should get together and work
together for a common cause as the
soldiers.
Touch elbows with your neighbors,
and get the sense of comradeship as
soldiers do. Organize farmers clubs,
not merely for the sake of having
clubs, but for the sake of team work,
for the sake of accomplishing some
thing for the building up of the
rural community, for the study of
the problems of your community.
People seldom get together by mere
ly saying, Go to it now, let US be
united" They are more likely to
get together when they tackle a
hard job which they think import
ant, and then begin working on that
job. After they have been working
together for a while they find that
they are thinking together and are
developing the feeling of comrade-
ship.

IRISH POTATO GROWI.
ING IN ARKANSAS
TIMELY SUGGESTIONS IN FERTI.
LlZlNG, PLANTING AND CULT.
WALTON OF STAPLE FOOD PROD
UCT ADAPTABLE TO ARKANSAS.

Excepting rice, the potato is the
most widely used food plant for the
human family. 1t should therefore
find a place on every farm. Original
ing in America, it has been improved
and It's cultivation has been increased
at about the same rate as has been the
increase in population. They are now
grown in all states Of the United
States, but principally in the Northern
and Eastern states.
Fertilizer.
Generally speaking, fertilizer con-
tanning from three per cent to four
per cent nitrogen, six percent to eight
per cent phosphoric acid, and nine per
cent to 10 per cent of potash will give
good results, the kind and amount to
apply depending upon the kind OF
soil and the natural fertility. If the
soil is clayey it will require less pot
ash than the sandy types.
Planting.
Potatoes should be planted as early
as possible in the spring, say, from
February 20 in the southern part OF
the state to April l in the northern
part. Plant about four inches deep
in rows three feet apart, planting the
pieces one foot apart in the row.
OF the varieties best suited for Ar
kansas, Red Bliss, Early Ohio and Irish
Cobbler are possibly the best early va
rieties, while Rural New Yorker No.
2, Carmen No. and Sir Walter Ra-
leigh are the best late varieties. There
is no one variety that is best for all
soils under all circumstances.
Cultivation.
Cultivation should begin as early as
possible after the plants begin to ap-
pear, and should continue at intervals
OF ten days to two weeks. Do not use
plows that run deep into the soil, but
rather one that has number Of small
teeth to pulverize and loosen the soil
to depth OF from 212 to inches.
The object of cultivation is to keep
down weeds and to conserve the soil
moisture, therefore cultivation should
be done as early as possible after a
rain even if the ground had been
plowed the day before.

ton If you don't protect us in the
robbery of the people We will close
our works and starve them.
This is why the unemployment
problem has become so serious in
so short a time, but this is not the
only reason we have the unemploy-
ed This problem was gradually
growing worse under the Taft and
Roosevelt administrations. 1t was
growing worse because advanced
machinery is taking the place of
men. When the owner of an In
dustry finds he can buy a machine
that will do the work of one hund-
red men, or sixteen hundred men,
as in some cases, he buys the ma
chine and lets the men 60, 1t is
claimed by good authority that ma
chinery will be so perfected within
twenty years that more than half OF
the men in this country will be dis
placed. The owners Of the machines
will be able to supply the demand
and run only a part of the time.
The question arises, what is the
remedy? | will call your attention
to one man who has done his part
toward solving the problem Of the
unemployed; the problem of food
clothing and owning a home. That
man is Henry Ford of Detroit, Mich
About one year ago Mr.. Ford de-
cided to let his 10000 employees
share in the S2OOO0,OOO profits,
which he said they had produced.
He took S1O,OO0,OOO and added it
to their wages, which raised them
from an average of $2.32 per day to
S5 and up to SS per day. He had
been working two crews ten hours a
day each. He cut them to eight
hours, which enabled him to put on
another crew and use one-third
more men. A recent report shows
that these men have since purchas-
ed homes to the amount of $780,
900; have paid 81, l,l5O,OOO on them,
and have taken out life insurance
policies to the amount of S3,5OOOO0.
But, you say other capitalists are
too greedy to do this; that if they
would it would give the workers
and the public the benefits OF great
inventions and solve the problem of
unemployment. And | answer, no,
they will not do it.
But public ownership would give
/ to the workers just what Henry
Ford gave, and would give to the
consumer the benefit Of the SlO,-
100000 that Ford is yet keeping
back. And it would take the power
to rob out of the hands Of the pri'
vate owners.

ON DANGER SIGNALS
Independence County Leader
Among Socialists Writes
For Our Readers.

Editor Record:-Danger Signals
are flying everywhere in America
Every man who cannot get a job OF
work is a danger signal. Every
hungry man is a danger signal.
Every hungry woman is danger
signal. They are danger signals be-
cause men will not forever stand to
be deprived of opportunity to work;
deprived of home and bed and food,
and to be compelled to see their
wives and children suffer.
Men become riotous when they
have been thus wronged too long.
The desire to live overcomes every
thing else. They strike out blindly.
They do not care. They burn, they
kill, they steal, they rob, they plum
der, they destroy governments. His
tory runs red with the story of such
acts. What men have done, they
will always do under the same cir
cumstances.
1t is not in human nature to die
without a struggle. Thank good
ness, it is not. The right to revolt
is sacred. The fear of revolution is
the oppressor's only conscience.
But the necessity for revolution
should always be avoided. An ap-
peal to violence is so awful that it
should never be made so long as ii
is possible to appeal to reason.
1t is high time for the great men
of the United States to do some
