Weather Conditions UnfavOr-
able and Labor Is Scarce.
May Require Federal Help to
Get Farm Hands.
SOUTH ESPECIALLY HARD HIT
Frost Wipes Out Early Vege-
table Crop; Planting Late.
Advance Wages % Per Cent
Fails to Supply Demand.

Washington, March 15.-Abnormal
weather conditions and a scarcity of
labor will greatly affect the spring
planting of cotton and all other crops,
according to information obtained to-
day at the department of agriculture.
In previous years, the first planting
has begun in the extreme southern
belt about March 10, but on account
of a heavy freeze in that zone, plant
ers have been delayed in starting their
work This unusual condition pre-
walls all thru the south, and the de-
lay in planting is certain to be the
same in all the cotton zones, accord
ing to department officials.
Information has reached the de-
partment that labor is scarcer than
at any former planting season. The
price of labor has advanced from 10
to IS per cent and is hard to get at
any price.
The shortage of labor. according to
the department, is being felt not only
in the cotton growing states. but also
in the great grain states in the west.
Farm Wages Not Attractive.
It was limited by one department Of
fetal that the department of labor
may be asked to take a hand in the
situation and help provide the neces-
sary labor. This move is prompted
by the action of the Canadian gov
eminent in sending agents into this
country to hire men to work on Cana
dian farms.

average wage OF the male farm la

Paris, March 15.-General Louis
Lyautey who resigned yesterday as
minister of war apparently was the
victim of his ignorance of pariiamen-
tary methods. Like most other gen

in the past, he soon found himseif III

account of the opposition which de-
yeloped in parEa ment to his bill re-
curing that men rejected as soldiers

examined and providing for the incor-
poration of priests in fighting units
In handing his resignation to Premier
BRAND, General Lyautey said his de-
cision was irrevocable.
1t is understood the cabinet will
meet today to deliberate what steps
must be taken on account of the sit
uation which has developed.
The words which aroused anger in
the chamber of deputies formed the
first part of statement prepared in
advance by the general, the whole of
which he was unable to read on ac-
count of tumult. What he read was
as follows:
Advocated Secrecy of Plans.

POLITICAL PARTIES In
AMERICAN HISTORY

In 1896 aud 1900 the PopuIiat party
fused with the Democrats, nominating
Bryan, also the Democrat nominee
From this time on the party orgaui
zation began crumblng away until
it ceased to be a factor in our ma
tional politics.
The National or Free Silver Pro
hibition party was the result Of a
split in the Prohibition party in 1896.
The party devided over the money
question and woman suffrage. Bent
ley, their candidate received about
$4,000 votes.
The Changers in 1867, Farmers Al
lance in 1873, Monopoly party
in 1884, the National Democrats
(sound money! in 1896, the Anti-lm-
pcrialist League in 1900, and the
Independent League in 1908, we will
give only our passing attention.
The Socialist party has an interest
ing history unto itself. For brevity,
we must give only an epitome Of the
history of this party, which seems
destined to become a formidable rival
to the two old parties. It's main
program is to convert private prop
erty in land and capital into collect
| tive property and use it for the com
mon good. Nearly a million votes
were cast for its candidates in 1912.
1t was in 1877 the "Socialistic"
Labor party was born. I'm 1892 the
first presidential ticket was put in
the field A vote Of 21,1G4 was cast
for their candidate, Simon Wing. A.
the result Of a split in the party
in 1892, two tickets were in the field
in 1900, the Social Democrat party
and the Socialist Labor. Dcbs head

1880 votes. In addition to this the
Socialist Labor cast 39,739. A Unity
Convention was held in 1901 and the
Socialist Party Of America was born.
The Socialist Labor party refused
to unite. A stirring increase in the
vote was shown in 1902, 1904 and
1908. The Socialist party vote reach
ed 420,793 in 1908, while the Social
list Labor vote declined to 1925. I'm
1912 the Socialist party cast over
100000 votes, the largest vote for a
third party since the Populist party
vote in 1892. In 1916 the vote de-
clined for the first time in the history
of the party. The Socialists attitude
on the war question caused may tC

slogan, "Wilson and Peace, Hughes

for Benson might cause the election
of Hughes, and that Hughes policies

SEVEN WONDERS
OF PATRIOTISM
w. H. Waynick

w. II. WaynlcK
The ancient world had seven wond-
ers, consisting of pyramids, temples
and statues. Some of these wonders
are still in existence. They are nice
to look at, if you have the time to 90
where they are and the cash to pay
for the trip. But after all, if you
could only understand, these ancient
wonders are childish playthings when
compared with what we have now.
right here at home, in the dear old
U. S. A. People talk as if all the
sights were in Europe, which shows
how much they are mistaken. "See
Our Own Wonders First that should
be our motto. Consider, for Just a
moment, the seven wonders of pa
triotism:
l. The word Patriot is spelled with
seven letters : Pat is latin, meaning.
chief, head, leader; riot is English,
meaning mob action, rough house, a
stampede of longhorns; hense a pa
triot is any disorderIy person who de
sires a riot
2. By reading the notes passing
between diplomats we learn that civ
ilized nations are afflicted with seven
deadly virtues; Honor, integrity, dig
nifty, holiness, legality, patriotism and
duty. All the horrors on earth are
committed in their names.
3, Woodrow Wilson has written
seven notes to Kaiser Wilhelm, and
the notes have given Woodrow more
trouble than if he had sent them to
a tricky woman.
4, There are seven ways of telling
a man he is a liar Pass the lie
direct, and the man may knock you
down; say that he prevaricates and
he becomes angry; tell him that he
eXaggerates, and he shows veXatiou;
declare that he is uniformed, and
he'll say that he knows as much as
you; tell him that he wanders from
the point, and he only laughs at you.
call him a great JOKER and he feels
flattered; but tell him that he talks
like diplomat, and he takes its as
a compliment. In each instance YOU
have called the man a liar, but the
offense is gradually softsHcd and
finally cancelled by being seven times
removed.
