We Need Your Help Right Now!

The gravest problem The Toiler has had to
face during the entire past year is OF raising suf-
ficient funds to purchase the paper upon which to
print The scarcity of print paper alone is enough
to drive most publishers frantic with anxiety.
When scarcity of stock and lack of sufficient
funds to purchase are combined in one problem,
problem which must be faced every week-and
that has been our problenl-then you may realize
the task we have had these long months since print
paper began steadily to climb from SIX cents per
pound to FIFTEEN cents.
The tumble of prices in some lines, Ford
automobiles and sugar for instance, has in no way
affected the print paper situation. Prices are
maintaining their previous high level, the scarcity
still continues without sign of change. We feel
fortunate if we can obtain white print stock now
and then, and we have to be thankful for even the
poorest and grayest paper that is sold us for our
fifteen cents per sixten ounces
But this outstanding fact we have discovered
in our many months of anxious quest of paper,
and that is: that we can always get the paper
no matter how scarce it is IF WE HAVE THE
MONEY TO PAY SPOT CASH. SPOT CASH
seems to be the dictum of BIG BUSINESS. And
Big Business rules. We have to admit that. So
our only salvation is to get the Cash. and have it
ready when we need it.
~ And that, comrades is the theme of this ap-
peal, CASH. You know what we mean. We have
had to make this same appeal before We may have
to do so again. But we know that as long as con-
dtions in the capitalist world make it necessary
for us to appeal to you for help, that you will
give it just as willingly as you have done before
Here's your chance to help. If you believe in
The Toiler; if you want to see it continue in the
fight; if you believe it is a GOOD THING for
the WORKERS to have a paper like The Toiler
then we say that you should GIVE A LIFT NOW
when it will do the most good
Make YOUR donation just as large as you
can.

SUN-DRIVEN ARCTIC CROPS

Yukoners will be particularly inter- ested in the theory just advanced to the effect that development of plant fife is due more to the duration of the sunlight than of~temperature changes of the seasons. If the idea proves cor rect, it may account for the extra ordinary success of crops in the short open season prevailing in the Arctic and the sub-Arctic
 It has seemed anomalous to resi- dents of temperate climes that there should be Vernal land in Yukon and Alaska and similar attitudes from May until October, and that root crops, berries and cereals should ma ture in this region. Northerners long have recognized the fact that with old Sol working a 24-hour shift, and practically forcing growth day and night, the crops, other conditions be- irg favorable, could do 1aught else but grow rapidly. The following from Popular Mechanics has an interesting bearing on the topic:
 "That the development and evolu- tion of plant life is dependant upon the number of hours of light in a day, rather than upon the tempera- ture changes of the seasons, is the startling conclusion just reached by government scientists.
 "Experim on number of greenhouse plants demonstrate that artificial lengthening of the light of day greatly accelerates the Towering and fruiting stage, while shortening the light period by morning and afternoon darkening retards the pro- cess, even to the point where that stage is never reached
 Iris plants, given IS hours of light in 24, b1oomed two months ear Her than their neighbor's under nat ural light, in the same temperature This discovery is expected to furnish a key to many difficult crop problems.

It was certainly a mean trick on the Democratic and near-Democratic newspapers that had their mouths all puckered up to yell fraud and corruption" upon the nomination of some Republican presidential candi- date who had stood for the high cost of primaries, for the Republican con- vention to nominate a man who had only entered a couple of them and had spent next to nothing. These peeved publications are getting re- venge by declaring that anyway Senator Harding doesn't amount to much, having never heard a voice in the air, or handed any command ments down from Mt Sinai, or ad- mitted that he was smarter than any body or everybody else

1iOhibOi OA SouSICoo eioo, OL IdO AiI portance of. this measure for the re- lief of the gold mining industry. A great deal of work remains to be done and can be done if the gold miners can be aroused.
 The mining men of every district where gold is produced, the news papers, the bankers, and the busi ness men generally, must take hold of the proposition.
 The time is now ripe when an or ganization of gold miners must be at tempted. Every other industry is or ganized to look after it's interests. The copper, zinc, lead and iron interests have been organized for many years with the result that they have been able to meet the new conditions which have come about on account of the war, and the increase in the price of labor, supplies and other conditions.
 Gold mining, alone of all the indus tries, is without an organization, and when a hearing was being held in con- gross a few weeks ago on a matter which was of vital importance to the industry, it had only one representa- tive from all over the United States to present it's case.
 We must have an organization that will include all those who are engaged in gold mining, Or dependent upon it in any way, the prospector, the miner, bankers, business men, stockholders, as we'll as the actual producers of the precious metal. Action must be taken at once. In every distrct where gold is produced the citizens must get to- gether and form an organization, elect officers, and prepare to send repre- sentatives fully equipped with all nee essary data to Washington when the next session of congress meets to rep resent the industry at this hearing.
 Evidence is to be introduced in con- gress proving that unless a larger price is paid for gold, of not less than $10 per ounce, the gold mining indus try may be considered as a thing of the past.
 Newspapers in every district are respectfully asked to give publicity to this circular, and it is earnestly de- sired that the different districts will communicate with one another as to the progress of organization, so that quick action can be obtained. Our committee stands ready to cooperate at all times and to answer any and every inquiry that is made.
 If prompt action is taken and this legislation is secured it will have the effect to prevent many mines from being closed down altogether, and the loss of many millions of dollars. In many districts gold mining companies are merely hanging on, hoping for something to happen to keep them alive, but things do not happen usually in this way; it is necessary to put forth an effort to get what is desired.
 Our committee, representing the mining interests of South Dakota in the effort of effecting this -organiza- tion, is addressing this letter to the gold miners of the United States and Alaska. ....-... ..-.
 All communications in regard to this organization should be addressed to the Mining Committee, Deadwood Business Club, Deadwood, South Da- kota.

BONUS ON GOLD

Deadwood (South, Dakota) Busi- ness club has addressed a communi cation to those interested in gold min- ing urging support of the McFadden bill now pending in congress, which provides for a gold bonus of $1O per ounce. The communication says:
 . Notwithstanding this legislation is of such vital importance to the gold mining industry and would result in immeasurable benefit to the con- panies that are operating in the low grade gold ores, and in fact to all gold producers, when the hearings were being held by the ways and means committee on this bill on June l, only one representative of the gold mining industry was present to give his testimony, and to present the data on behalf of the gold producers
 It is true the American mining congress took a very active part in helping to work up sentiment in be- half of this bill and has rendered most valuable services, but the Amer ican mining congress is an organiza- tiOn which has a wide variety of in- terests, and cannot be expected to devote a large measure, of it's time and its resources to the interests of any one of the industries.
 It seems incredible almost that the gold miners of America would take so little interest in a matter of such vital importance. An effort must be made at once to stimulate a, larg CT interest if we wish to succeed in having this legislation passed when congress recOnvenes.
 We are advised on most reliable authority that the ways and means committee was very much impressed with the data produced in behalf of the bill and that several members of the committee expressed them selves as favorable to it, but thought best not to make any report on the bill at present, because the session of congress was about to adjourn and number of members of the commit tee were absent and had not had an opportunity to be present at the hear ings.
 It is not necessary to call atten- tion to the fact that if a favorable report is made by the ways and means committee, it does not then follow that the bill would have a certainty of favorable action by the senate and house, but a favorable report by the ways and means com mittee would mean a great deal in the way of a guarantee that the bill can be finally be adopted
 The time between now and the first of December, when congress re- convenes, should be taken advantage of to make preparations for a more thorough presentation when hearings are resumed and for the presentation of such an array of data as will con- vince not only the members of the ways and means committee but every
