man OF these who furnish, tho machinery
and markets for the product.
All things that we nave. all products
are in the end manufactured products.
All manufactured products begin with
what we find in tho bosom OF Mother
Earth. The original material is Of no
value until human labor 10 added.
A crop of No. One Hard represents
much moro than the seed and the ply
sicaI labor of the farmer. It also means
COAL, iron, and many laborers--and
brains.
Sometimes We hear the argument that
the farmers are the producers Of all
wesltE." Perhaps this is true as a gen.
eral observation, but just who are farm
ers-producers-might, make the ques-
tion little more complex.
Are all men who labor for the produc.
ton of crops farmers? Are the others
hired hands?" Or are the farmers but
hired hands of the others who make the
machinery, furnish the transportation,
and do the grinding>or sell the product?
Perhaps su :h speculations might be
matters of curiosity. We can arrive at
better definition, a better answer at
the very beginning. No matter by what
name any class of workers, may be call.
ed, their interests are indissoluble and.
are one.
We are all raising crops, in one way or
another.
In the beginning OF things each man
raised his own crops as best he might.
Civilization has shown that the better
way is to divide the labor into parts,
some working at one thing and some at
another. but all working for the same
thing. to VITA living, and we must all
eat to live.
The farmer as we name him, Is but
one link in the chain of production.

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

News from the battle lines in northern
France is very similar to that of last
week. Both British and French claim
that they are gradually pushing the
gHindenburg lines backward, and have
put st. Quentin and LaFere, important
cities on that line, in danger of capture.
There is notable lack of ship sink
ings these days. Probably this class of
news has been censored out of sight,
since the Inauguration of the ruthless
campaign.
A raider called in German the Sea
Eagle has been getting in some work
along the Brazilian coast and sent in
about three hundred prisoners from a
dozen sunken ships into Rio Janeiro by
another captured ship. The raider is
described as sailing ship with an aux
iliary gasoline engine and consequently
slow. Most people might think 1T a
simple problem to catch such vessel,
but anyone who has read the history of
the alabama the southern ship that
roamed the seas in 1863.64 can realize
that it is not so easy to find ship on
the broad ocean. The .Alabama" alone
nearly cleared the seas Of American mer
chant shipping. OF course there will be
the certainty of capture sooner or later
Along the Russian lines there is con-
siderable fighting but nothing of de-
cisive nature. The same is true of
Italy.Austrian fighting.
In Mexico there Is reported consider
able sentiment against this country
which is laid to the door OF German
agents. How much of this is true we
shall probably learn later. 1t would
not be anything remarkable for Mexi-
cans to unite all factions to fight the
United States in case we go to war with
Germany. We hope if this ever does
happen that this country will not again
be so foolish and soft hearted as to give
Mexico chloroform before we administer
the punishment. By which we mean
that if we have to fight Mexico on Ger
man grounds" that we do begin by say.
ing "that we are not going to take any
territory" Rather let us say as she has
said through Germany, that it is fight
for territory. If we are to control Mex
leo then we must own Mexico. By the
way Mr.. Reader, flag means eomething
just now. Do you happen to own one?

berg and others from up in ,apti county
and is cut.rate affair, as it will cost
you only six dollars to become member
instead Of sixteen dollars that the North
Dakota league charges. The latter is
not incorporated, either in North Dakota
or here, SO it appears that legally the
new organization have beaten them to
the name. Both organizations will have
organizers IN the field early in the
spring, and will offer their services to
set your feet on the right path, politi.
cally. When you get sick you send for
a doctor and pay him to make you we'll;
when you get 10 trouble you send for a
lawyer to keep you out of jail; and the do.
sire for permanent residence in the
celestial regions above causes you to
contribute to the minister's salary; SO
there is no reason why you should not
pay something for good expert political
advice. People sometimes die in spite
OF the efforts of the doctor; they some.
times 60 to jail in spite of the efforts OF
the lawyer; and we are not sure that
they all are able to benefit by the efforts
of the minister; so you can not expect
all the advice you get for either S6 or SIG
to cure all the political ills, real or i'm
aginary that ails you, but they may help
some.-Warroad (Minnesota) Pioneer.

WHAT IS A FARMER7

Who or what is farmer? In this
section Of the country the broad answer
might be man who raises wheat and
other crops. The man who holds the
plow, drives the harrow and-rides the
reaper. s
But it might be curious story to
trace up all the human hands that have
been held on that plow before it ever
came to the farm. First, there was the
miners who dug the coal and the steel
and then the woodmen who cut the tim.
ber. Then the men who smelted the
ore and saved the timber, the workmen
who fashioned the implement, and the
carriers who transported the original
materials and distributed the
finished product After the farmer has
raised the grain it is transported, ground,
made into -four and then baked. How
many different individuals does all this
represent beside the man who soWed the
seed and reaped the harvesti y

ARE YOU RICH OR POOR?

Multi millionaires, millionaires, veal.
thy classes, middle classes, trade unions,
socialists. l. w. VS., anarchists. That
isn't all of them, but are sufficient. The
defining of these different sects of society
might also be an interesting problem.
We know what they mean in general
way but when it comes to particulars we
find that the definitions lack clearness
and authority and vary very much.
In general these distinctions are really
reducable to the terms ''rich" and
"poor." Sometimes it is referred to as
an irrepressible conflict between the
rich and the poor, and sometimes it is
the employer vs.. the employee.
In the main it is an attempt to dis
tinguish between the high.ups and the
low-downs. 1t is an attempt to draw an
imaginary line between people who have
more or less money or property and per-
sons who have but some or none.
The international boundary line be.
tween this country and Canada or be.
tween any two countries is also called
an imaginary line, but while the line 1T.
self is imaginary as are all lines by geo.
metrical definition, yet such boundary
lines have an actual existence and can
be located at least approximately. But
the lines sought to show the boundaries
of classes Of society fail in possibility of
location.
What is rich man and what's poor
man depends very largely on the point
OF view of the interested parties. The
extremes do contrast very visibly. The
very rich will be very rich in contrast to
the very poor. But when we get away
from the ends, the demarkatlon becomes
more and more difficult.
Right here in this locality, what an.
swer would we get if we asked, is farm.
or with half section ofland, machinery,
stock and buildings to correspond, rich
or poor? He is certainly poor in COM
parison to Rockefeller, but according to
the I. w. w. class he is rich.
There is one class Of social theorists,
the ranker socialists and the anarchists
who believe that the fair thing would be
for the wealth Of the world to be equally
distributed. How would the average
farmer fare in such distrlbution9 We
doubt il the average farmer would de.
sire such q division of property.
Most Red river valley farmers would
like to divide with the multi millionaire
class for obvious reasons, but on the
other hand the I. w. w. class would
like to divide with the farmers.
AS We said. it depends very largely on
the point Of view. Are you rich OF poor?
