wind tore the pictures from the plano.
Gerty ran into her room. shutting
herself in against further argument.
She came back into the room, pow

wind. A heavy winter ulster covered
the new null gown which she had not
worn at supper. though Innes could

table at his wife. you're surely not
going such night as this?"
Gerty gave one Of her light, elusive
shrugs. No need to answer Tom when
he was in one of his black moods.
This was the first word he had spoken
since he had entered the tent. She
had warned Innes by a lifted eye

provoke him. Something had gone

FRUIT ACREAGE EXPANDING

Phenomenal prices for small
fruits is starting hundreds of own

Strawberries, loganberries, and

thiS year even for quarter4acre
patches, netting 5000 an acre.
On top of this berry patch owners
find ready market for all canes and
tips that root between now and win
ter at good prices.
Strawberries averaged Az cents
pound for ten years past, and new
contracts are offered growers at 7
to S cents for five years.
Raspberries averaged 5A cents a
pound fdr ten years before 1919
and growers are offered contracts at
S to 10 cents pound for five years
Loganberry tips for planting are
worth s25 thousand, and can be
produced with little effort, three to
five thousand to the acre.
Raspberry canes are worth for
planting $S toi$1O per thousand and
are selfstarters at the rate of ten

WHY MORE FEDERAL CONTROL?

There is now pending in Congress
a bill known as the Kenyon bill, de-
signed to curtail the activities oil
the packers. But this measure, II
enacted, is so revolutionary and un-
America and its effects will be so
far-reaching that not only will 1t be
disastrous to the packers, whose eff
flciency Is admitted by all who are
familiar with their business, but 1t
will only be a question OF time un-
Ill the control contemplated will be
extended until all business is under
Federal control.
II is easy TO switch public opinion
from the real issue by labelling this
a fight on the packing trust" when
prices are high and some one is to
be made the goat
II the packers constitute trust
in restraint of trade, our present
laws IL enforced will correct the stu
alton. 1t is conspicuously noticeable
that none OF the legislation propos-
ed gives any assurance that consum-
ers are to receive meat at lower
prices and government regulation has
never yet brought cheaper prices or
rates
The real point which Americans
must consider is whether they are
ready to change our form of gov
ernment from one under which indi-
udsial initiative, enterprise and
business is encouraged to one where
the individual is submerged under
official control.
The packers are merely being
used as the most likely instrument
available to extend bureaucratic
form of government in America
This has developed into fight, not
merely TO save the packing industry

WAR is
ALSO DESTRUCTIVE

A world that has learned the de-
structlveness of force and violence
in domestic and foreign politics,
rlust now learn the danger and fol-
ly of violence in the carrying on OF
the industrial or economic functions
of society. Mexico is a good ex-
ample of the folly of factional war
fare in adjusting the political prob
lens of the nation. Cuba, by way OF
contrast, is finding political freedom

dustrial organism is even made deli
cate in its adjustments than the po-
litical. Harmony in the relations be-
tween capital and labor is far more
beneficial to everybody concerned
than is victory for one side or the
other that is gained as the result of
bitter strife. II is now the accepted
view that labors' reward must be as
large as conditions permit, that the
hours of labor must be generally
shorter than in times past, and that
safeguards must be provided against
the ills Of unemployment and the
anxiety that has been general for
lack of system to protect work. 1g

PROFIT BY EXPERIENCE
OF OTHERS

|
As a start, complete control OF the
state government of Washington in
1920 is proposed in plan outlined
by the triple alliance" A conyen-
tion is to be held in Seattle in Janu-
ary 1920 to bring together the radi'
calls of all types into one compact po-
litical organization.
The !. w. W., the Non-Partisan
league and the labor Bolshevists will
be in control and the legislative pro-
gram adopted will undoubtedly be
in favor of destruction Of private
PROPERTY and individual property
rights, for state socialism is the goal
of the triple alliance"
This movement is merely an ex-
tension of the North Dakota social
istic experiment with the latest radi-
cal program added to it.
The danger lies in the organiza-
tion of the radicals more than in
their numbers.
Sane laboring men and conserva-
tive farmers will not join the move
ment but they are unorganized, hence
the danger.
North Dakota received sad les
son by allowing radicalism to Sc
cure control of the state. Other west
ern states can profit by her expert
ence.
