THE GLORY or DOING HARD JOB.

Says the Progressive Farmer; The
solution Of the farmers problems Is
TO come not through the government
handing down something to him. but
through farmers coming together and
learning to work together as comrades
and brothers. The government must
help by seeing that square deal Is
given all citizens--and here Is where
farmers and all laborers have suffered
shamefully-and agricultural agencies
must work TO promote organization
and provide needed instruction. Hut
the great good for you. Brother Fa>-s-
er. Is TO come through you and your
neighbors coming together In your
neighborhood TO buy and sell and pull
together about everything that affects
the common welfare. Only through
the strength and discipline that come
by struggle and trial will you be able
to compel justice from the govern
ment and from other classes. As the
poet has well said in illustrating the
story OF Jacob al Pencil:
"And still that old. old story
As told in lsraels glory
Is true cen now as then.
That he who comes victorious
From wrestling long. laborious.
Has power with gods and men"
Hence, II the task OF organizing the
farmers in your neighborhood Is
hard one that Is all the more reason
for doing II. The man who has an
easy job Is mentally and morally
damned as Ebert Hubbard rightly
declared. Every father ought to give
his boy this advice over and over
again: The way to make man OF
yourself is to find job that's hard
and worth doing and stick TO IL, right
where you are-and it's good advice
for older men, too No man is a real
man until he finds JOY in tackling a
hard job.
And this fundamental question OF
neighborhood leadership again leads
us to put the question np to the indi-
yidual reader. Somebody must lead;
why not you?"-The Progressive
Farmer.

Great Army Is Planned
For Defense of Nation

Washington, May 17.-Revised fig
ures on the army reorganization bill,
as agreed upon by house and senate
conferees and submitted to the senate
today by Chairman Chamberlain,
show that the new army will be
even larger than announced when the
agreement was reached last Satur-
day.
Careful analysis shows the maxi
mum strength in time of peace will
be 211,OOO officers and men, in
cluding $4,000 staff troops. Philip
pine scouts and unassigned recruits.
and that the war strength will be
236,5OO officers and combatant
troops, which with staff troops,
scouts, ETC., added, will bring the

overseas garrisons, and the remain
ing troops at home will be such as
will make up complete brigades and
divisions and the regular army will
no longer be a hit-or-miss collection
of regiments and battalions, las it
has heretofore been, due to piecemeal
legislation of former years.
"The company units will no longer
be skeletons, but real working units
of about two-thirds war strength. An
infantry company will be 1870 men in
peace and $50 in war; troop of
cavalry will be seventy men in peace
and 105 in war; a battery will be 1876
men in peace and 100 in war.
"The officers reserve corps and
the reserve officers training corps
have been adopted as written in both
original bills. They provide for the
education, selection and training of
civilians in time Of peace for the du-
ties of officers in time of war, and
to a great extent, they will obviate
the hasty selection of untried and un-
known persons for commissions on the
outbreak of war.
"The national guard will have a
greater inducement to improve and
progress than was hoped for before
this year, and it will be on trial dur
ing the next few years to prove that
the claims made by it's representatives
were correct. Time alone can tell
whether the national guard will take

Ramona Tuesday and Wednesday

Ramona Tuesday and Wednesday
Facts regarding Ramona, which
comes to the Palace theatre next Mon
day and Tuesday.
There have been 3,800,000 copies of
Ramona sold, according to the publish
ers, and as Ramona has been handed
down through two generations it is
conservative to estimate that there
have been six readers for every cory
sold. So that over 2O,OOO,O0O readers
attest the charm of Mrs. Jackson's
lovely and tragic romance. The new
wonder of the screen first received
the stamp of sensational success in
Los Angeles from 100000 people who
crowded into the largest theatre in
the city in ten weeks to see it. The
film is said to have all the pastoral,
epic, idyllic and tragic fascination of
the original work, doubtless because
it was made and it is unique in
this respect-not from an editors
script but direct from the pages of
the book.
The Southern California settings
are described as scenes of rare beauty
and the Photographic quality Of the
work on the whole the best ever to
be shown in a picture.
Some of the costumes for Ramona
were loaned under bond and were heir
looms of priceless value. So much
Importance was attached to this fea-
tnre of the producNon that it was
placed in charge of Alexander Har-
mer, the noted California painter and
authority on customs of the Ramona
period in California.
