BosHEvISM, IT'S CAUSE.

Bolshevism, primarily, is the
result of ignorance and discon-
tent, famed by the unscrupulous
who have some selfish purpose
to serve. 1t could not thrive in
community or in a country
where the people are intelligent
and are satisfied that they are
being given a square deal. With
Americas entry in the war, for
instance, gloom pervaded the
shipbuilding industry because of
the Indifference Of labor, which
threatened the success of the
shipbuilding program, despite
the fact that the government
was ready to furnish an unlimit-
ed supply of money and the
shipbuilders were equally ready
to expand their facilities to
meet the demand. DIR. Charles
A. Eaton, a minister, offered the
remedy. He told the shipbuild-
ers, at dinner, that the work

men were as human as were the
shipbuilders, but the war was so
far removed that they felt it af-
fected their lives only in that
they We're able to earn more
money. If they had enjoyed the
same educational advantages
and the same wholesome living
conditions as had these great
captains of industry that he was
addressing, and the same oppor-
tunities for reading and inform
ing themselves, they would be
found no less patriotic. The gov
ernment instantly requisitioned
Doctor Eaton's services. He COM
missioned a number Of aids who
met these men and their wives
personally and convinced them
that they were the second army
of defense and that the safety
of their brothers across the
water, the matter of supplying
them with food, clothing and
ammunition, depended upon the
faithfulness Of the workmen at
the shipbuilding plants. At the
same time, the more material
feature-the building of model
cities and comfor table homes for
these workmen-was not neg
lected. The slogan of "every
rivet is a nail in the kaiser's cof-
fin" was adopted. The world
knows the rest.
Thoughtful men and women in
every community Of our own
country should study thoroughly
the underlying cause of unrest.
They need to understand the
cause of discomfort. Then, not
only for the sake Of the people
themselves, but to avert disaster
to our social fabric and vested
interests, these thoughtful men
and women should give their
fellow-citizens the benefit of
their conclusions. Otherwise, we
shall pay too great a penalty in
permitting the perpetuation Of
ignorance and squalor.-Dallas

AGAIN, LETS CO."

Some weeks ago we had a
great get-together occasion in
Chickasha, the result Of which
was the revival Of the Chamber
of Commerce. 1t was a remark
able demonstration of civic in
terest and the public spirit that
builds prosperous communities.
1t was resolved that the citizens
Of Chickasha would cooperate in
an effort to make the most of
the opportunities before the
town.
Now this evening, we are to
have the first meeting of the
Chamber Of Commerce in the
year. This meeting will deter
mine whether those who pledged
their support to the organization
really meant it; it will show
whether the new spirit was
merely a temporary outburst of
enthusiasm or it was the real
thing and is going to be on the
job working for a greater Chick
asha throughout the year.
1t is easy to get up a wave Of
excitement at a public meeting
but quite another thing to
buckle down to business and
make a permanent hand. 1t will
avail little to pay our money for
the support of the. Chamber Of
Commerce unless we also invest
our personal efforts in the or
ganization. The year is very
young and there is vast
amount to be accomplished. To

LET GEORGIA DO 1T

The suffrage boom in Georgia be-
gan with rats and promises to end with
ratification. Georgia suffragists
turned themselves into pied pipers,
boosting a campaign to lead The rats
out of the cities, woke up the newspa-
pers to the fact that the suffragists
were tremendously alive and the rats
rather more than certain to be dead.
When Senator Harris proclaimed
himself for the federal suffrage move
ment, newspapers from Seattle, Wash,
to Pawtucket, R. l., predicted that the
suffrage victory was all over but the
shouting. Nothing could keep the
amendment back. They said it in
Boston. They said it in st. Paul, in
Philadelphia and in Sacramento.
After which the Atlanta Democratic
City Committee gave Atlanta women
the municiple vote and the newspa-
pers told the story of Georgia ell ov-
err again. The repetitions ran from a
half-inc notice in agate type 10 Sun
day edition spread stories. These
stories showed that the city IF At
anta was proud of its new voters. 1t
liked their looks. 1t liked their num-
bers, 1t liked their spirit and their
intelligence.
The women had chance to speak
their minds and they spoke them.

Upshaw's vote in the House had ere

State by this simple act of justice

courage" they said, "and so far as it
is possible for one man to do so, has
redeemed Georgia from the charge
of being unjust to women"
And now newspapers are pressing

amndment in editorials and in signed
articles over the signatures of men
all over the world.

If, BUT AND WHEN PEOPLE

The world is full of if, but and when
people. We all have many friends
who belong to those classes. They
might wear buttons, if they chose, but
they do not choose. Even in these
many-buttoned days there are some
insignia that we conceal as well as
some that we display triumphantly.
With the if people everything is
conditional, Hypothetical. Life is con-
ditional, work is conditional, success
is condition. Death alone is certain,
and even death they keep as condition
al as they can. That habit, for ex-
ample, that wearing, petty, trivial,
hateful habit. ~ would get rid of it
in a moment, if it were not so long
established and if | were not afraid of
injuring my health" SO it goes, if,
if, if, until the field of thought is
strewn thick with ifs, like firefies in
a midsummer night.
And the but people are an obstacle
class. What a humpy, lumpy, I'M
comfortable path their life does trav-
ell, and all because they will not lift
their feet, or their eyes, or their souls,
but are always looking down to pick
a nice way between rocks and pitfalls
that do not exist! 81 would do that
usful thing, but have not the money.
I would go where friendship calls me,
but l have not the strength. | would
help as you are helping, but have not
the time" And thus usefulness and
happiness are finally butted by mag
mary obstacles into the hopeless pit
of oblivion.
And the when people are always
waiting for something that never
comes. The great, the splendid, the
precious things they will do, when they
get ready! "When my children grow
up, when my children are educated,
when my children are provided for, |
will give myself to public service, l
will do brave deeds, and all my friends
will be astonished" 1t reaches the
point where your friends would in
deed be astonished if you did anything.
Then the when people look back and
indulge themselves in melancholy
and luxurious combination of all three
conjunctions. "If such a chance had
come to me when was young and ac-
tive and energetic! But such chances
never did come to me-" The truth is,
you were never young and active and
energetic--enough.
So those three little words are very
useful and convenient And VIC would
not deny that they have their real
value. Many a man has avoided dis
aster, many a soul has avoided ruin,
by if, but or when. But, after all,
avoiding is not the main business of
life. If we want to get something and
do something and be something in
the world, the best way is to join The
now class and to wear button where
everyone can see it.

THE FARMER AND
HIS MARKET AGAIN

A number of Missouri farmers are
cooperating with the Missouri Agri-
cultural College in collecting infor-
nation on farm production costs, says
r. M. Green, of the University of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture. A re-
cent summary of years business OH
one of these farms was good demon
stration of how dependent the farm
err often is on making good guess"
on market conditions. Especially is
this the case with the farmer who
handles live stock.
The particular farmer referred to
had made net income of ABOUT E12,-
900. He was on good land and on a
good sized farm. He sold some lit
tie corn and hay, considerable wheat,
hogs and cattle. Just what accounted
for this big income. How much Of it
was due to this and to that? The
thing most likely to attract attention
frs was the good profits from cattle.
How did this man do this? The feed
records on cattle are scrutinized pref
ty carefully to see that this mfn is
not Judging" in making his profit as
some men like to do sometimes when
they figure the feed they raise very
low. That was not the case on this
farm. The feed records were com
plete and prices charged were fair
ones. The ration was a silaga, lin
seed oil meal ration highly recon-
mended by the colleges experimental
work. But this man made exception
ally good profit. Is it due entirely to
the good ration? Figuring a little,
shows that if the man had sold at the
same price that he bought at, he
would have just about lost his labor
in spite of his good feeding, but he
got spread of $685.. That's where
he made his cattle money that year,
and the profits from cattle were a
little better than $4,000, or about one
fourth of his total net income.
