The threshing outfits linger about
those regions regardless Of the calen-
dar. Scores Of hardy American crews
may be found also in Manitoba and
British Columbia hard at their task OF
bringing in the harvest. .~s
Although our Eastern States are
not in the swath Of the huge reaping
and binding machines there is need IN
this section for many experienced
farm hands, as may be learned from
L. w. Pyle, Chief Examiner of the
Agricultural Division OF the United
States Employment Bureau, who Is
stationed at 20 East Twenty-second
street
He says that right now $500 expert
enced farm hands are demanded in the
Empire State and that the wheat har-
vest next month will require at least.
1900 more. New Jersey needs $500
farm hands now and as many more
for the harvest, while Connecticut
could readily employ 1000 experienced
agricultural workers. There are some
good opportunities in this neighbor-
hood, although not quite so much adj
venture by staying in the East. The
farmers and contractors in the West
however. do not pay railroad fare to
and from the Atlantic seaboard.
/ Following the harvest for a man
who has no family dependent upon
him is good occupation on the whole.
There Is little chance of squandering
money unless it is deliberately sought.
Many Of the workers in the thresher
outfits get back to New York or CHI
cago at the end of the season with
$500 or $500 or more in their pockets.
A Few Save Money.
Some of the thrifty ones deposit
their money and work in mechanical
trades or clerkships in the cities OF
the East until they hear again the ir-
resistible call of the fields. The other
day there came into one of the bureaus
of the Department OF Labor here a
man who said that three months OF
each year he worked in a factory and
the remaining nine months he followed
the harvest. Such economists as
Hcnry'Ford believe that our living cost
will be much reduced and mankind
happier and more content II In the dull

kinds workmen might be induced In

appointment in this respect was ter
rible. After the coup which drove
kerensky from power and placed the
Government in his own hands Lenine
said that out OF every one hundred
men whom he called to his assist
ance sixty were scoundrels, thirty-nine
were idiots and only one was honest
and helpful.
"A second disappointment quickly
followed. There were no uprisings OF
the proletarians in the rest of the
world
so Bolshevism even at that early
day was doomed. Lenine had sup
posed, In the seclusion OF his broodings
and his readings OF philosophy, that
once the owners were dispossessed OF
their factories and their railroads that
the workmen therein and thereon
would be capable OF managing and op-
Grating them. He discovered too late
how tremendous had been his error.
When the agencies of transportation
collapsed in Russia the end of Rolshy-
ism was more than in sight-it was at
hand.
"On top OF this disaster Lenine piled
another when he repudiated the debt
that Russia owned to other nations.

Mr.. Russell replied. He was the orig

thought, IL Bolshevism can be so called.
Brooding alone over the conditions in
his own country, out of contact with
the world and Knowing little about
the practical affairs of life, he mag

HE read the German philosophers
and the accounts in German and>Brit-

state OF affairs in congested industrial
districts where there were poverty,
sickness, unhappiness and so on and
fancied that the whole world was ripe
for revolution. All that was needed, as
he saw the case, was leadership. He
believed that capitalism was RESPONSE

depravity. and consequently should be
abolished. The old order, he argued,
should pass away with all it's evils,
and new order should be established.
The new order. in his programme,
meant government in all directions by
the proletarians, otherwise the workers

Were this to occur in Russia, he
thought. 1t would also occur through
out Europe and in America. Now
Nicholas Lenine has a wonderful mind,

dent Wilson on a grave diplomatic mis-
sion for this Government.
The railroads undoubtedly turned
young Russell into a radical. After his
graduation at st. Johnsbury Academy,
in Vermont, where he was sent by his
father, who was a steady and en-
thusiastic Congregationalist, he be-
came a writer by profession. And for
thirty-eight years he has been what
might be called the friend OF the
masses.
Years OF Battling.
During that time the PARKWAY coal
incident at Davenport was Offset, prob
ably, on a thousand occasions. For
more than a generation Mr. Russell
has been writing unceasingly-books
"a dozen at least), editorials, essays
and articles. Also for fifteen years he
has been addressing public audiences
In all parts Of the country. Mainly,
his subject, in type or on the platform
has been capitalism. and the reputed
iniquities thereof.
To this day Mr.. Russell bears around
with him in his coat pocket the card
that shows his membership in the
printers union. An agitator he has
been and now is and perhaps always
will be. but he Is also student and a
philosopher Things are not right. he
says, but they are much better than
they were formerly.
Furthermore, Mr.. Russell and others
Of his category have lived through and
come out Of tho war with a broader
understanding Of American character.
And the result has been that many OF
these men have left the Socialist party,
which. they say, when not reasonable
was apathetic during the bloody con-
test with the Turks, Austrians and
Germans.
For once this nation was united and
they studied Americans in the mass

Four Recruiting stations.
The army of the harvest is recruited
mainly in New York city, in Calves
ton, in Chicago and most of all in the
centre of the grain country at Wichita,
Kan. Hundreds of men are leaving the
metropolis bound for the West and
North to help in the garnering of our
foodstuffs. and many Of them will not
be back until the early winter.
As the harvest begins in Texas and
in the Gulf States generally in May,
the rallying, place at Galveston was
crowded last month by the gathering
crews. Northern Texas and Oklahoma
mark the beginning of the harvest, for

Kansas helps a great deal in the dis

how many hands and machines such

three thousand OF the tatterdemaIion

and Missouri, but in Kansas, which
easily produces more than 100. o00, 900
bushels of winter wheat alone, the in
gathering speeds up the drive of the
army to the top notch.

|HERE was a boy among the
enemies that the railroads
- made in Iowa forty years ago
"a boy with blue eyes. a tall forehead
and a talent for writing and later for
speechmaking.
This boy heard his father say, not
once, but every day, that the rail-
roads negotiated for laws, State and
municipal, and that they increased the
freight rates of all the men who OPP
posed them so that such men were
driven out of business, while their
competitors, taking their medicine In
silence, flourished.
Then one day the boy saw his father
hire teams and men and go into the
hills for coal with which to fire his
boiler and drive his engine. The rail-
roads had cut of the fathers supply
Of fuel because the father, in the
newspaper that he owned and OF which
he was the editor had declared that
the railroads were corrupt and domi-
neering.
II had been a fierce and protracted
contest between the father and the
railroad, and now. in the depth OF
northern winter. the earth like granite
and covered with ice and snow, came
the order that 1t was supposed would
cause the temporary suspension Of the
belligerent newspaper.
But coal was obtained and the war
went on, and the boy. learning to set
type and write, to run the engine and
each morning 10 get the paper to
press and into the mails, became his
fathers chief OF stan In the pitched
battles that eventually released Iowa
and brought the railroads under sub
lection.
So began the experiences and the
education OF one OF the ablest and
most aggressive Socialists in the
United States. The boy was Charles
Edward Russell, who twice ran for
Governor in the State OF New York
and who. with Elihu Root and others,

This year they will be more than
ever, for the bumper OF all bumper
crops is yellowing in the fields and
more than a billion bushels OF wheat
must be gathered into barns and ele-
vators for the feeding of millions here
and overseas. The Government asked
q year ago that in 1919 the farmers
increase their acreage in the leading
cereal by at least 10 per cent. and
the mandate of Hoover was needed.
The light crop of last year and the
very short one of 1917 must be made
up, for in these days OF reconstruction
the devastated lands across the At
lantic are demanding more than their
supply of grain.

There can be no such picture" Mr..

Moreover. they are a reflective peo-
