and consumers. We have a demo-
cratic form of government but an
autocratic control of industry.
I'VE exist under government. but
by industry we live. Under such a
system the majority of a democracy
through thei, government enjoy such
rights and privileges as an autocracy
in industry permits them to receive.
This country was peopled by a race
who sought within its boundaries re-
llgious freedom. 1t was established
by British descendants through W
luton as a land Of political freedom.
We now demand that il become the
home of industrial freedom.
This can only be accomplished by
extending to industry the same rights
Of individual freedom recognized by
the founders of our government in
establishing, this democracy. The
need Of mankind for the products Of
industry must be accepted as the basic
in this as in all industry. The right
Of the worker who supplies that
need demands like acceptance. This
can only be achieved by permitting
producers and consumers to share in
control Of the management of their
means of existence.
THE machinery for attaining this
result we DeueVe IS e1DOdled IN the
plan outlined in the Sims bill.
"Our belief in the efficiency Of this
plan is profound. We embrace this
plan with all the ardor of those who
sought political freedom. In this
| plan we raise the banner of democ-
racy in control Of industry: we ad-
vance to a new crusade with the faith
of the Pilgrims, with the convictions
Of the trainers of the legislation and
with the hope of America TO-, eco

The sprouting Of. harvested grain -is

effects Of the heavy. rain last night and

Klarge amount Of grain has already

the agent, and with heavy chaff; this

result while the grain is still in shock.
This may aus serious losses in
many sections where the heads Of the

the heads are well filled with kernels
the heads have little difficulty in
shedding rain but with heavy chaff to
absorb the moisture a general sprout-

Mrs. Dre,o Collects
Hatpius for Soldiers

Conyalescent soldiers in the United
States army base hospital at Camp Dix,
n. j., have a real champion in Mrs
Sidney Drew, who is collecting hatpins
for them.
Heroes with cramped or partially
paralyzed fingers, or only part of their
fingers, spend hours making beads out
of wallpaper and gay colored magazine
covers. They wind the paper on the
pins, then roll it into beads, which
they dip into shellac or varnish for
CLOSING. Necklaces of these beads
sell for good money, which the soldiers
welcome while waiting for payday
To secure a large number of these
long hatpins, Mrs. Drew makes a plea
to all women who read this story to
hunt up their old hatpins or buy some.
Packages of pins will be forwarded if
readers will send them to Mrs. Sidney
Drew, 220 West Forty second Street,
New York City.
Many husbands will, no doubt, en-
courage their wives to send their hat
pins to Mrs. Drew, which cooperation
will greatly aid the soldiers efforts to
earn pin money"
