old bachelor, who, with the excep-
ton Of a housekeeper, lived alone
in a great weather-beaten old man
sion on the river road. He lived
a very secluded kind of life, was
seldom seen upon the streets of the
town, and attracted very little atten-
ton when he was seen. There were
hardly ten people in the place that
knew the man or anything concerning
his life.
Yet there had been a time in the
life of Perry Fanchion when he had
attracted a great deal of attention,
and won the sympathy and pity of
the whole town. That had been over
forty years ago, and in the meantime
the town had changed from village
into q city. The old families had died
out and the younger generation had
forgotten the history of Perry Fan
chion. =
It was Christmas eve night and bit
terly cold. Sleet and snow drove with
incessant fury against the great French
windows. The heavy old oak doors
ratified and shook, while the wind
shrilled mournfully among the many
old-fashioned gables and chinneys.
Perry sat gazing into the fire. His
hair was snow-white, his eyes were
dark, and tonight they had tragic,
gloomy look.
On the old colonial furniture the
sinister faces carved there grinned hor-
.ribly and the iron claws seemed to

THE REAL CULPRIT

The Crown Prince had been so busy
that he hadn't had time to get to-
gether with his father and have a
confidential chat. But one evening
when there was lull in the 808-cen-
timeter guns, they managed to get a
few moments off. The Crown Prince
turned to his father and said:
dad, there is something | have
been wanting to ask you for a long
time. Is Uncle George really respon-
sible for this scrap"
"No, my SON."
"Well, did Cousin Nick have any
thing to do with it,"
"Not at ALL"
Possibly you did,"
"No, sir"
"Then would you mind telling me
who it was?"
The anointed one was silent for a
moment. Then he turned to his son
and said:
"I'll tell you how it happened.
About two or three years ago there
was wild man came over here from
the United States, one of those rip
roaring rough riders that you read
about in dime novels, but he GER
tainly did have about him plausible
air. l took him out and showed him
our fleet. Then l showed him the
army, and after he had looked them
over he said to me, Bill, you could
lick the world And l was damn fool
enough to believe him. Life.

LOCAL ROSEDALE

Rosedale, May 8, 1916.
Editor WORKER
Local Rosedale yesterday passed
a resolution for National Referendum.
1t calls for a definite stand against
the doctrine of National Defense, es-
poused by so many of the would-be
leading lights of the party. Nation
alism wrecked the movement in Eu-
rope; it Willdo so here, unless the
revolutionary comrades make their
stand against it now. The proposed
referendum will make a clear line up
of revolutionists and reformers, and
show us whether there is sufficient
men in the party to stand by Socialist
principles.
Local Rosedale hopes that Washing
ton locals will back it up by their
seconds, as Washington has had a
reputation for being an advanced
state. But, we shall see.
Trusting you will give this note due
prominence, Comrade Editor, remain
Yours fraternally,

TIME TO QUIT

A brakeman on the Frisco was
heard to state few days ago that
Germany had conceded every point to
the United States, and was ready to
publicly apologize or do anything to
atone. When asked where he got that
information, he stated that it came
from Germany just as soon as she
learned that Theodore Roosevelt and
his three sons and one son-in-law, as
stated by Roosevelt, We're going to
enlist if war was declared.

Dear Comrades:

reference to the progress of our Lo-
cal. We have taken in four new mem
bers since March LIST, and they are
good live ones. We are educating sew
eral more by supplying them with
good literature because we believe in
making good "Class Conscious Social
lists" of them before asking them into

We held our regular meeting yes
terday, Sunday, May 7th, 1880 a. M.
After our business meeting we en-
joyed half hour talk by Comrade
Carl Ulonska on "Internationalism
and Its Effect Upon the Labor Move
ment," and then adjourned to the din
ing room to fine lunch. Fifty per-
sons, including children, were present.
We always serve these lunches after
meetings because it helps to get out a
good crowd and that way we get non
socialists to attend the meetings and
they soon get interested in the bust
ness part as we'll as the social part
| wish more of the locals would
take up this plan and use the school
houses as we do. They have a right
to use them, and we never accomplish
anything without first trying and
often being defeated several times be-
fore we win.

SOCIALISM IS
MISREPRESENTED
BY ALLAN L. BENSON,
Socialist Party Candidate for
President.

President.
The American press lies daily and
hourly about Socialism. 1t heaps upon
Socialism all of it's scorn, all of it's
derision, all of it's contempt. Why?
Because Socialism would harm the
country? By no means. Because, in
the opinion Of the great capitalist in
terests, Socialism would cut off the
gratis of the great capitalists. If So
cialism were a FOOLS dream, the cap
italist interests and their newspapers
would pay no attention to it. They
care nothing about FOOLS dreams. But
they care a great deal about anything
and everything that has within it the
power to take this country from the
few and turn it over to everybody
They know only too we'll that if the
great industries of this country were
collectively owned by the people, and
operated by the representative of the
people, not for anybody's profit, but
for everybody's use, that the day. of
the capitalist class would be ended.
By opposing US, lying about us and
slandering us, they really declare
how sure they are that Socialism, if
tried, would do what it's advocates de-
clare it would do-end poverty.
Workingmen who are being sweated
by the capitalist system to four
rooms and lean living may doubt
whether Socialism would work. The
capitalists who are sweating the
workingmen have no such doubts.

CARE OF CREAM IN SUMMER
Should Be Followed-Dirt Always
Carries Bad FlaVors.

(By w. B. COMES, Missouri College OF
Agriculture)
During the hot days of summer the
farmer who is selling cream to the
creamery finds it a problem to keep
his cream in the proper condition.
However, there are but few simple
rules which should be followed, that
would result in better cream. First
of all these is cleanliness. Dirt, re-
member, carries bad flavors. If the
barn or its surroundings and cows are
dirty it will result in poor milk; poor
milk results in poor cream; poor
cream results in poor butter.
Immediately after separating, the
cream should be cooled down to az
Least so degrees Fahrenheit. Warm
cream should never be poured upon
cold as the temperature of the lot is
raised and bad flavors may result. 1t
is essential that the cream be stirred
frequently to insure uniform ripening.
II the cream is left undisturbed, the
fat rises the same way as it does in
milk. AS result the cream is full of
curd particles or 1t becomes '1umpy."
Never put cream in rusty or bat
tered can and always remember that
milk and cream have that property of
absorbing bad f1avors.

The Awakening.

The wars world-earthquake has
shaken man out of his slumbering. The
soul is awake, and it will rouse up in
even greater alertness when the Eu-
ropean populace, now drugged into in
sensibility by martial law and the
battle-fever, shall wake up out of
their sleep. Man is willing, as he has
not been before in 1900 years, to
break camp, pull up stakes, leave the
spot where he has been stagnating so
long and so ignobly, and renew the
journey of pilgrimage. 1t is moment
of Incompatible preciousness-and of
incompatible responsibility. For If
man, now that he is shaking off his sloth
of soul and is gathering together his
spiritual effects for resumption of
his pilgrimage task, can be guided into
the upward demonstrating path, 1t
will be a gain worth even the blood
cost whereby it was purchased. But
if, for lack of competent guides, man
kinds new travel mood wears itself
out in byways, its end will be in
swamps and wilderness. A reaction
will set in that will thenceforth make
stagnation more stagnant. And the
earth will have been disquieted in
vain.-Bouck White in Atlantic.

REFUTES LIBEL ON THE AUNT
New York Newspaper Comes to the
Rescue Of Valued Relative, Victim
of Unjust Attack.

w. L. George, the English essayist
and novelist, has been writing in Har-
per's on the decay of the home, re-
marks the New York World. He ar
riVes at an abuse of relatives which
nobody should mind if it were con-
fined TO generalitieS. Ii is when he
comes to specifications that he pro-
yokes wrath and proves himself to be
either no nephew at all or a most un-
lucky one.
The well-informed and the expert.
enced know that wicked and hateful
aunts exist only in books about ogres.
In real life aunts, not to mention all
lied uncles, are second only to grand
pas and grandmas in the loving work
OF spelling the children OF their broth
ers and sisters. Yet Mr.. George tells
us that however high you may rise,
your aunt will never see it."
Is there a community in which one
woman is ever waiting watchfully to
be neighbor, friend and helper to those
who need neighboring and befriending
In the worst way? Whose heart and
whose generous larder alike are hos
pitably open? Who can sing anybody's
baby to sleep, or charm anybody's old
er tots with fairy tales? Who is
the confidante of every village lover
and the comfort of every village prodi-
gal?
Well, then, she is Aunt Susan, or
Aunt Mary, or Aunt Whatever; and if
she has own nieces or nephews, and
If they have done anything at all, it
is something better than any other
nieces or nephews ever have done, and
her praise of them pervades and pre-
walls like sunshine.
If Mr.. George is going to keep on
abusing members of the family, pru-
dence will bid him to let the aunts
alone.

FEEDING SlLAGE IN SUMMER
Whether Practice Is Cheaper Than
Letting Cows on Pasture.

Every farmer must decide for him
self whether it is cheaper or more
profitable to feed silage during the
summer or let the COWS get most of
their feed from the pastures. II you
have land suitable for no other pur.
pose than raising grass It would not
pay to let it lie idle, but if your farm
consists largely of tillable land the
situation is quite different. It costs
time and money TO raise corn and put
It in the silo and feed 1t out. but on
many farms it Will pay to rely mainly
On the summer silo for the dairy herd.
