ONLY CHANCE OF
FARMER LIES IN
MACHINES use
BY D. A. CARMICHAEL.

The farmer and his problems con-
Germ all of US. We know that when he
quits all must quit and we know that
he canot pay the prices for labor
and make money farming the old
way. The outlook now is that much
of the negro labor will be used to
build highways.
All industries can afford to pay
more for labor than the farmer be-
cause all industries have machinery
that enables one man to do many
times ar much as was once done in
the old way. Many farmers are using
the same old tools their grandfathers
used, namely, the hoe, the old plow,
and the mule, while in all other in
dustries one man using a machine
does more work in one day than one
man could on the farm in a month
and do it better.
Let us look at some of the results,
Look at the factory machine that
makes the plow,
Look a the milking machine that
milks the COW,
Look at the bottling machine that bot
ties the drink,
Then look at the farmer-he never
stops to think,
Look at the machine that weaves your
clothes.
Look at the guns that conquer your
foes,
Look at the printing press that tells
the news
Then look at we farmers and see what
we use.
Look at the steam shovel that moy es
the hills,

your bills,

WORLD FORGING
TOWARDNORMAL,
ASSERTS CLEWS
By Henry CIews.

NEW YORK, JUue 9-The world
is heroically struggling for a more
settled and normal condition of af-
fairs. It's chief obstacles is a scar
city of many necessities, together
with the greatly overstrained ner-
vous condition of the war-torn ma
tions. While these abnormal condl-
tions continue, social and political
disorder must be expected, and ac-
cepted as the natural consequences
of the great upheaval. The difficult
ties are innumerable, yet they are
gradually and surely being over
come. Time and work combined ac-
complish wonders, and there is ev-
cry reason to believe that year
hence will witness a long step taken
toward the new normal. No serious
delays in the peace program have
thus far happened, and none seem
likely to occur Germany will sign
the pact, despite characteristic pro-
tests, and there is good reason to
hope that Mr.. Wilson will very soon
return to his pressing duties on this
side of the water. The peace treaty
the greatest document in history,
cannot attain perfection, and more
or less dissatisfaction is inevitable /;
but peace has already been establish
ed on basis of strength and justice

railroads and other public utilities is
illustrated in various ways. Mr.. viii

PLAN BIG WEEK
AT AMES

During the week of February 9th to
18th, Iowa State college will literally be
turned over to the men and women OF
Iowa for their use.
That is the big Farm and Home
Week or short course. 1t will be the
first held since the war and will par,
take of the nature of a big after-the-
war reunion of farm men and women
from every section of the state. In
other years as many as $500 came for
the weeks special instruction and in
spiration; this year it is hoped to bring
together even a larger number.
Plans under way indicate that the
weeks program will be along much the
same lines as in previous years. with a
few innovations. Scores of letters re-
ceived from men and women who have
attended say that the old time plan is
''just the thing and SO it will be ad-
hered to in the main. The instruction
will cover every phase of farming, en-
cheering as applied to the farm, and
home making. More than a hundred
different lectures and demonstrations
will be given daily.
Many state meetings of agricultural
associations will be held in connection
with the short course, including the big
experiment association and prominent
purebred livestock associations. Every
evening of the week some notable
speaker will make an address on some
live topic, and the climax will be reach
ed In the big farmers banquet at which
more than a thousand persons will be
seated.
Programs for the week will be off
the press soon and may be secured by
writing to Short Course Headquarters,

Chimney Cause of Blaze

The Coon Grove school house was
burned to the ground late Friday after
noon. The blaze was discovered soon
after it started and neighbors were able
to remove the seats and organ, but the
rest Of the equipment was destroyed.
A fire had been started late in the af-
ternoon to heat the building for farm
ers meeting to be held that evening.
The chimney was defective and caused
the fire. There was no one in the build
ing at the time, but the blaze was dis.
covered by people residing near by, but
it had made such Roadway that it was
impossible to extinguish it.
School will be held temporarily at the
Peter Hendricksen home. Miss Kate
Cavanaugh is the teacher
