The Farm Bureau is, boiled
down and stripped Of all trimming.
just organized intelligence applied
to agriculture. That's all it is.
You may elect a farmer governor,
and president, and pass laws to
control smut ground squirrels. hog
cholera, drouth, and poor crops. and
not get anywhere. But the farmer
can, by cooperative effort, by or
ganizing and applying brain power
and knowledge, solve many, or all
such problems. The farm Bureau
is just plain horse sense and edu-
cation and expert knowledge APP
piled to the farmers problem. 1t
is just common sense education on
the farm. Take the proposion of
our Farm Bureau as to livestock.
Experience has proven the wisdom
of the program proposed for Clear

tried the plan and maze good. 1t

WAR FOR

War. in a good cause, is not the
greatest evil which a nation
suffer. Wal is an ugly thing, but
not the ugliest of things; the de-
cayed and degraded state of moral
and patriotic feeling which thinks
nothing worth a war is worse.
When a people are used as mere in
struments for firing cannon or
thrusting bayonets. in the service
for the selfish purposes OF a a
ter, such war degrades a people. A
war to protect other human beings
against t%yrannical injustice; a var
to give victory to their own ideas
of right and good. which is their
own war. carried on for an honest
purpose by their free choice, is Of
ten the means of their regenera-
ton. A man who has nothing
which he is willing to fight for,
nothing which he cares more about
than he does about his personal
safety. is a miserable creature, who
has no chance of being free, unless
made and kept 50 by the exertions
of better men than himself. As
long as justice and injustice have
not terminated their ever-renewing
fight for a%scendency in the affairs
of mankind, human beings must be
willing. when need is, to do battle
for the one against the other

CLASS LEGISLATION IS WRONG.

What a howl would go up were
the merchants Of the nation to be-
gin organizing for the purpose of
county, state and national govern
ment. Suppose the merchants wero
to organize for the purpose of nam
ing and electing every state official,
including the governor, and even
the courts in the interest of the
merchants. What a howl would go
up. This is not a government of,
for, and by any n class. 1t Is n
more a government solely for the
prducer than 1t is for the comsum-
er. the banker, the manufacturer,
or professional has ball players.
That is the reason that Russia has
failed inl her effort to establish a
new system Of government solely in
the interest of what is termed the
common people. The workers took
over the factories; they took con-
troll of the tools of industry, and
Kicked out the superintendent. and
higer-ups, proposing that labor Is
to have all. But labor couldn't
run industries without brains; the
business would not run without in
telligent direction, and 1t was dis
covered that labor is not the whole
thing. Labor has had to come off
its perch in Russia. It has had to
recognize ability; it has had to rec
ognize the need of superior men to
anage and direct labor.
So it is with the producer. Let
the farmer get control of the gov
eminent, and pass unfair LEWIS; let
the farmer impose handicaps on
other industries, and the farmer
will wake up and find he has ruin
ed himself. For when you paralyze
industry you kill the market for
agricultural products, and the pro-
Queer finds he has undermined his
own house.
The farmer cannot compel the
investment of capital; he cannot
make other citizens carry on manu-
featuring plants and employ labor
to consume the farmers products
any more than the merchants or
doctors or bankers or manufacture
ers of toothpicks can compel the
farmer to farm.
Kansas, in the days of Populism,
vase ontrolled by farmers who
passed laws regulating interest. and
curtailing the profits of the man
who had money to loan. 1t was
easy to pass the law. but money
was driven out of the state, and
the farmer had to repeal his own
fool laws.
Just now there are those in this
nation who propose to make this a
!, government of, for and by the
farmer. 1t is proposed to make one
special class the object of special
favors, regardless of the rest of the
people. Manufacturing, banking,
merchandising, and all other lines
are to be left out in the cold, while
the farmers run the United States
for the farmer.
The farmer should have Justice;
the producer should have a square
deal; the exploiting of agriculture
should be stopped by the state and
National government. The farmer
should be recognized. and should
take part in the running of the
state and nation. He should or
ganize and cooperate for his protec-
ton. but such a thing as a govern
memt of. for and by one class is
vicious, dangerous and therefore
wrong.

The Farm Bureau is just organ
lied intelligence and knowledge ap-
piled to the farm. 1t is the biggest
movement ever launched for the
permanent betterment of the farm
er. 1t is backed by our Federal
Government as a war measure, be-
cause it means greater efficiency on
the farm; it is backed by our Col
leges of Agriculture everywhere be-
cause it means the practical appli-
cation of demonstrated intelligent
farm management; it is backed by
farmers who know because they
have tried it and found 1T a great
benefit to the farmer. no mater in
what line of agriculture he is en-
gagged. A live Farm Bureau in our
county will do wonders for our ag-
ricnltural interests, and incidental
ly bring prosperity to all classes.

of all the taxpayers of the county.
Therefore they want to know what
the people want them to do in the

Buy bonds or fight! That's fair.
People who can buy bonds and do
not, should be conscripted and put
in the front line trenches to fight.
Think of people who have only to
stay in the United States, safe and
secure. and enjoying big wages or
war prices for labor or products,
complaining because they are asked
to subscribe their little quota for
bonds. And when one considers it
is only a loan; that the Govern
ment will pay every penny back
with interest, how are the money
slackers to Xcuse their Indifference
or neglect or failure? Uncle Sam
has a right to the use or part or
all of your money or property. All
you have you owe to him. If you
fail Uncle Sam in time of need, you
are an migrate, a Stacker, and an
undesirable citizen or resident of
this country. and should be kicked
out. Dig up or put on a uniform!

1t is a mighty fine thing that
out of calamity there is TO come a
lot of good. For instance. war is
a great leveler socially. 1t knock
Eli the imaginary and man-made
divisions in society into smither-
eens, and brings the lilly-fngered
society poesy down to earth on a
level with honest, decent folks who
work for a living. 1t places people
according to their real merit, not
according to their bank accounts.
1t compels the rich the realize the
humanity of the mass, and
makes the millionaire acknowledge
his dependence. moi on his dollars,
but on his fellow man. In aristo-
cratic London and Paris war has
made society people, work. 1t has
made the lady and the maid equal
and compelled those who stuck up
their noses at honest toll to under
stand that there is nothing so es-
sential and honorable as honest la
Dor.

ENTER PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Many Indian Children Now At
tend State institutions.
Uncle Sam Encourages Movement and
Pays Tuition of Those Whose Par.
ents Are Not Taxpayers.

The course Of study which has been
arranged by Uncle Sans Indian office
for the Indian children on the reserva-
tons throughout the United States is
such that its academical features will
enable pupils readily to enter the pub
lie schools without retarding their
progress and is designed to subserve
the general policy of the bureau of en-
couraging the attendance of Indian
children in the state schools.
There are now upward of $4,000 In
dian children in the public schools of
the country, and under the provision
of the law for paying their tuition,
equal to the per capita cost for white
pupils. and provided the Indian par
ents pay no taxes, the number is rap
idly increasing, and objection to such
attendance by white parents is said by
officials of the Indian bureau to be di-
minishing.
While it is admittedly true that In
dian children do not receive in the
public schools generally the advan-
tages of industrial training and prac-
tice afforded by the government board
ing schools, this policy is considered
justified by the fact that their inter-
mingling with white pupils offers many
opportunities for acquiring the arts
and manners and conventions of civ
ilized life that do not come to them in
exclusively Indian schools. However,
it appears that state schools are not
accessible to a very large number of
Indian children of school age for
whom federal provision will be neces-
sary for some time to come, and for
these a very thorough and entirely
practical scheme of industrial train
| ing WAS made an important part of
the new course of study which has
been inaugurated by the bureau.
This course provides, among other
special features, very complete in
suuction in the use of English, so that
the pupil shall not only be able to
speak and write it readily, but do his
thinking in English, this because his
| future promises an inseparable con-
nection with an English-speakius civil
! zation. Again, emphasis is placed
upon knowlede of the laws OF
health and sanitation. Bodily vigor,
physical exercises. including athletics
and all proper gymnasium sports, are
made prominent.
