the city police.
One note, found beside the body of
a murdered miser, briefly explained
that crime by the declaration that the
dead man had always robbed the poor

Anent Rural Advancement

We used to thresh our wheat with
fails, we used to use slabsided nails
and water fetch in wooden pals. Our
mothers spun and knit our socks
while father wrestled with the rocks
to make a farm fence with rails. We
used to plant the spuds by hand which
made us sweat to beat the band and
filled our shoes with gritty sand. We
cultivated corn with hoes and whack-
ed the weeds with vicious blows, and
cussed the long and endless rows and
wish that death would end our woes.
Two scores of feet our well was deep,
we drew the water with sweep; it
seemed the half a dozen cows and
fourteen pigs and seven sows drank
more than seven million sheep; the
way we worked made angels weep.
Dad mended shoes and mother darned,
then mother churned while father
darned and wondered why in Halifax
we didn't cradle oats and flax and
help him pay the yearly tax. But
times have changed; instead of hoes
we amble down the later rows pro-
PEELED by steam or gasoline; no more
we need our faithful team. Our NOW
ers have pneumatic tires, we have
our lights all strung on wires; milk
ing no longer is the style; we simply
turn the crank the while the cows
enjoy world famous choirs. We used
to go bare-footed to school or ride a
worthless hidcbound mule; but every
kid now has a plane with which he
chascs down the lane; the kid who
walks is thought a fool. Sometimes
hone for by-gone ways for quiet,
happy, hastless days, for sweet con-
tentment my heart prays. But when
my gizzard works once more, it's
good to hear the worlds loud roar;
it's good to see the scorchers and fine
to taste some modern feed, it's time
to rest when life is o'er.-W. Z. Vap-
lon, State Agricultural College, Fort
Collins, Colo.

WASHINGTON NOTES
In Union There Is Strength

The people last November elected
215 republicans and 215 democrats to
the house of representatives. They
also chose five representatives under
independent classification. Since then
one republican and one democrat have
died.
The day that Congress organized
there were three republican rcpresen-
tatives absent, for sickness ard other
sufficient reasons. This reduced the
total possible republicans strength to
211.
Upon the vote for speaker only 2O5
members gave their support to Mr..
Mann of Illinois, the nominee of the
republican caucus; two members voted
present; two each voted for Mr..
Lenroot of Wisconsin and Mr.. Gil
lett of Massachusetts.

mass of republicans, whom they rep
resent, are mindful of the party's
cause and mindful that the party can
not exist and retain public confidence
without solidarity. If republicanism
is to consist only of a disassociated
group of ambitious individuals, re-
publicanism cannot expect to succeed.
But if republicanism is to embody a
disciplined force of political co-think-
ers, wherein a majority-fairly secur-
ed and freely expressive of itself-is
to settle mooted questions, then the
POS who voted for Mr.. Mann have Civ
en- pledge for the future of republic
canism, in this Congress and in the
next campaign, which will encourage
the party to elect, not 2l5, but $50
members of Congress in 1918.

Imports of foodstuffs and food ami
mails for the first eight months of the
current fiscal year, ended February
28th, totaled 1881 ,O00, 0O0-over S47-,
100000 worth a month. Docs that
statement carry any warning to the
farmer who today is realizing the
high prices caused by the European
war? That is an increase of S103,-
100000 over the similar period 1912
10, when this country operated under
a protective tariff law, the imports
for that period paying a healthy rev.
enue into the federal treasury. AT
the same time the food-producing
countries of the world were shipping
a large share of their harvests to
Europe, where 100000 men are
destroying instead of producing, and
who have to be fed. Yet our imports
from Argentina, chiefly agricultural
products, increased during the 1916
IT period 1888 per cent over the 1912
10 period; those from Canada 1875 per
cent.
The figures sof the department of
commerce also show that imports of
products in the manufactures groups
show an increase over the 1928 per-
iod, in spite of the fact that Germany,
Belgium, and Austria are closed out
of our market, and the rest of Europe
is bonding more or less of its energies
toward supplying the demands of war.
Oriental competitors are making large
strides in the commercial conquest OF
the American market. Europe will
join in the rush after the war Every
American workman who is laid off as
a result Of the postwar competition
means that much loss in purchasing
power of the farmers products. More
even, than the manufacturer, is the
farmer concerned with the protectiv,
policy, becauUe under free trade he
get the foreign competition, in his owr
products, and loses a customer in tn,
laid-off laborer.
