SHORT COURSE
AT RUSSELLVTLLE
CLUB BOYS AND GIRLS WILL BE
THE GUESTS OF STATE AGRI-
CULTURAL SCHOOL,
JULY 1917.

Beginning Tuesday, July 18th, and
continuing all that week, the annual
short course for club members will be
held at the Russellyille Agricultural
School. The railroad fare from Little
Rock to Russellville and return is
$500, and board for the week at the
school will be $3.50, making a total
cost of $3.50 for the week.
Pulaski County ought to have 60 to
rs boys and girls attend this meeting.
Every club in the county should send
delegation. If it is necessary to
help pay the expenses Of the delegates,
an ice cream social or a box supper
will bring in some money, but you
will have to hurry for the time is
almost up.
It will not be all work and no play
for a good portion of each day will be
devoted to games, swimming, etc.
Those who have attended before know
this is the best place to have a good
time for a week that club members
can usually find, and then at the same
time there is an opportunity to learn
something that will be very useful and
helpful in the club work.
We will leave Little Rock Monday
afternoon, July 18th, over the Iron
Mountain and we want every club
member that can possibly do so to be
ready for the best trip you will have
an opportunity to take this year.

to be present on the second day OF
each fair.
J. w. Sargent, County Agricultural
Agent; e. w. Smith, Assistant County
Agricultural Agent; and Minnie T.
Allen. Home Department Agent, make
the following announcement:
.sThe Community Fair is miniature
county fair, with races, side shows
and other commercial amusements
omitted It calls not only for the ex-
hibition of the best products that have
been grown and the best work that
has been done in the community or
communities but also for games. ath-
1etic contests and similar features of
recreational or educational value.
This is tho second attempt to hold
a series of community fairs in Pu-
ulaski County Having seven fairs,
each in different section of the
county. to which all the communities
in these different sections are invited,
we hope that every community will
have a chance to enter exhibits No
charge for the entrance of an exhibit
will be made and entrance to the
GROUNDS is free to all.
"With no sources of income except
advertisements and donations, it could
hardly be expected the premiums Of
fered could be sufficiently large to in
duce people to. enter contests for
prizes alone We are asking you to
exhibit your products primarily for
the purpose of encouraging better
farming, live stock raising and better
home conditions in the county. This
premium list is therefore sent you as
an invitation to become an exhibitor
as well as a spectator for the benefit
of your community as a whole:
1.-THE management of these several
fairs have been materially assisted in
the big job of organizing and prepar-
ing for these exhibitions by County
Judge Lee Miles, several business men
of Little Rock, the banks and bust
ness interests of the city. The prizes
that are offered have been made pos.
sible by the help of these men in the
way of donations and advertisements
that appear in this booklet.
1.-THE Delco Light Company of Little
Rock have very kindly offered to fur
lnish lights at each of the fairs for us
las well as furnish free entertainment
in the way of motion picture shows

Ct. w. Sargent, County Agent.)
The following illustrations of what
demonstration work is actually doing
in Arkansas, taken from Director w.
G. Lassetters annual report, consti-
tutes striking and unanswerable argu-
ment for the value of this type of
agricultural education.
The statement is frequently made
that people know how to farm well
enough and that there is no longer
use for instruction or demonstration
in production. The record of the farm
demonstration work is complete refu-
tation of this claim and emphasizes
the necessity of further progress along
this line. Take for instance cotton,
the crop with which our people are
supposed to be the most familiar. The
county agents in Arkansas had 300
complete reports from cotton demon
STATIONS and from every section of
the state. These showed by the farm
ers records an average yield OF $50
pounds of seed cotton per acre, while
the general average yield for the same
counties have, under the usual
methods, showed 555 pounds per acre,
or little over half the former.
We have 4O5 complete reports from
corn demonstrations of various sizes
and from every section of the state,
giving san average yield, in spite OF
unfavorable weather conditions, OF 400
bushels of corn per acre, as against
an average yield of 81 bushels per
acre for the same counties.
In other words, had our 2,563,OoO
acres of cotton planted in Arkansas in
1919 been handled just as these dem
onstration fields were handled, our
weld would have been 1,650,O00 bales
in place of $4,000, or gain of $4,000

THE BIG PIPE.

Great Falls is just now selling bonds for the
purpose of securing additional water supply and
to provide for facilities for distribution.
The people of this city are surely interested IN
the expenditure of the money. The boulevards
and parks and trees are the pride of the town.
We have said it over and over thousand times.
And yet for half a dozen years we have been up
against the same old obnoxious irrigation regula-
tions in July and August. Last summer the grass
plots came close to disaster. Everybody was dis
gusted because the required improvements had
been neglected year after year.
Now everybody should watch out that there is
no further delay in this business That big pipe
should be put in place at the earliest possible mo-
ment. It doesn't make much difference whether
the cost Of pipe is high or low. The water supply
should be made adequate whether it causes
little extravaganza or not.
These improvements will add to the fire pro-
lection and the grass can be kept green We might
have another summer when the heavens refuse
to help us sprinkle the bouevards.
Great Falls daily tribune., 1920-01-13

+, hundred laborers on big job, and some
OF the skilled ones make more than he
does. A coal miner in Alabama makes
fifty week. and the superintendent of
local high school envies him.
But it is hardly necessary to EN-
phasize the fact that the salaried man.
| and to a lesser extent the professional
have suffered most from the high cost
of living. All of US who belong in that
class are bitterly aware Of the fact. The
significant thing is that we are be-
| ginning to be conscious of ourselves
as class and to band together in self
defense. That is what the white collar
| unions mean. 1t is also what most Of
the consumers leagues and co-opera-
tive stores mean.
In England they have gone step
further. They have never had . our
over there. They have frankly organ
lied a Middle Glass Union" under that
name, and it has already become po-
litical factor to be reckoned with.
In Germany, too, there have been form
ed some middle class organizations to
resist the Spartacide effort of tae work
ing class to rule.
The fact of the matter is, of course,
that there are at least three distinct
classes in every industrial nation, and
that most Of the members of each Of
them remain in them all their lives. On
the one hand is the laboring class, COM
posed Of those who work for wages in
the great primary industries which pro-
ducc* the necessities Of life. On the
other hand is the capitalist class, COM
posed of those who have money and
live by investing it in those same indus
tries, for the most part The farmers
really constitute seperate class. The
farmer has been wont to regard himself
as n capitalist, but is beginning to real
ize that his interests are more nearly
identical with those Of the laboring
men.
The other and the largest class of
all consists Of those who work for salar
iesand fees. This class il far less dis
tinctive and homogeneous and self-con-
scious than any of the others. 1t is not
aware of itself. 1t does not know what
it wants or what is good for it. 1t is
the prey of demagogues and Of propa-
gandas. Labor appeals to it saying:
You, too, are worker for wages.
Your interests are mine. Government
ownership and government control,
everything that will break monopoly and
lower the cest of living. is your inter
est as Wen as mine. JON me, anu we
will run the country
But capital also addresses the poor
salaried man by way of the other ear:
You ara the child of opportunity
it tells him. "What you want Is unre-
stricted opportunity, unrestricted free
dom for personal initiative in making
money Thus you can make your for
tune just as have made mine
The poor salaried man doesn't know
which to believe. But one thing is be-
ing borne in upon his consciousness and
with painful clarity. II the cost of
living doesn't fall, or if it keeps on
rising. he will not be able to exist at
all. He begins to see that to hammer
down prices is his only salvation. How
is he going to do it?
In one way the interests Of the sal
nried man and Of the professional diff
fer from those of the laborer. He can
not go on strike with effect. direct

PUBLIC PAYS THE BILL.

The sentiment is growing in Montana for get
ting down to business There have been too many
drives. There have been too many CONVERSE
ton banquets. There has been too much non
essential organization and too many delegates
travelling around at the expense of their associa-
tions. The public pays all of the expense-some
of it directly and some of it indirectly-the pub
lie pays just the same.
The sum total of it all has become worse than
a tax. 1t has become pest. To be sure, whole
some organization is the great bulwark of COM
mercial, industrial and civic progress. Conver-
sation is chiefly useful as social vehicle. Real
as well as alleged oratory is lost art except in
the case Of the politician.
Plain speaking and action are what we will
have to depend upon if Montana is going to shoot
down the track straight for prosperity aid hap.

is not of much good to him. Collective
bargaining with employers is out Of the
question. And this for several reasons.
He works at too many different things
and under too many different arrange
ments. The coal miners can strike and
hold up the whole country because the
coal mines are absolutely dependent
upon them, and because of all OF them
are working for the operators on sub
stantially the same terms. The same is
true of the railroad men. the steel men,
and a host Of others. But what would
strike of book-keepers come to, for
example? Or of travelling salesmen?
1t takes a strong minority to defy the
majority. That is what the policemen
found out when they tried to strike.
The country simply wouldn't let them
strike. The newspaper reporters found
organize unions. Neither the public nor
the publishers would stand for it, and
perhaps rightly.
The middle class. then. to give it its
proper name, cannot work in unison to
raise its wages, as the laboring class
can. But it can work in unison to re-
duce the cost of living, which is simply
chopping off the same log at the other
end. In its methods of making living
it is too diverse to act in unison, but
in it's method of buying necessities it
is perfectly unified. All Of us face
the problem of getting enough to cat
and to wear and a place to live for the
ever-dwindling stipend.
We cannot act together to regulate
the amount we receive. but we can act
together to regulate the amount we will
spend, to a surprising extent House

CONGRESS PROMISING SPEED.

Something speedy is promised in the way of
legislation at Washington. This is refreshing.
1t is new kind Of procedure If congress had
been dead for the last six months there would
not now be any apparent reason to mourn the
loss.
However, we are now told that the enactment
Of stringent sedition law is well past the point
of probability, and that statute with teeth in
it is going to be put into Uucle Sans law books
right away. The people of the United States
have waited long time for this law. They will
welcome it with a prolonged and deep Methodist
welcome. Let us hope that the congress has
enough Americanism left, which will not get
weak in the knees to leave tie teeth in this egis
lation that is now proposed in both the senate
Great Falls daily tribune., 1920-01-13

and the house and to pass it along without fur
ther delay to the department. of justice for ex-
ecuton.
In the meantime, with such weapons as are
now within the legal arsenal there is being con-
Quoted vigorous campaign against radlcallsm.
If funds are made available it is proposed to con-
tinue these commendable activities against
aliens who preach overthrow Of this government
and violence, or who indulge in inflammatory
utterances against American laws and instltu-
tions They will come Immediately under the
surveillance Of agents Of the government and
will be arrested whenever their activities reach
point where they are regarded as inimical to the
public welfare. Agents of the department Of
justice and the immigration authorities have
been making arrests in scores of American COM
munities. It is significant that these "raids'
were SO well conducted that they came as sur
prise to the radicals as well as the country at
large chorus of commentator in all sections
Of the United States followed the first announce
ment of the roundup.
The efficiency and systematic planning which
reached out its hand at practically the same hour
throughout the country, was shown by the Chi
cago incident. A state official in that city crl-
ticized the attorney general of the United States
for not assisting the state authorities in small
roundup of radicals in Chicago. Under his cri-
ticism the department Of justice remained silent
for a few hours, knowing that its plans were al
ready laid for simultaneous raids in Chicago and
elsewhere. This program, Of course, which had
been in making for days, could not be disclosed
to the public. At the appointed hour the agents
of the attorney general began making wholesale
arrests and sezing radical literature in practical
ly every large city, including Chicago.
When the federal campaign against radicalism
got under way critics of the department of JUS
tice learned that for weeks it's secret service
agents had been collecting data upon which alien
"reds" might be arrested and deported. The
wholesale arrests showed its surveillance had ex
tended from coast to coast and that its agents
were merely awaiting the opportune time for be-
ginning the systematic roundup Of suspected
radicals This disclosure sienced the unj ust and
ill-advised criticism whether in Chicago or else
where.
Now, then it is up to congress to supply the
further sinews of war to deport, put down. and
crush out every person and effort that has for its
objective the overthrow of the constitution and
government of the United States. The republic
we live in will not be safe for democracy or any
thing else until this is done.
Great Falls daily tribune., 1920-01-13

efforts though they were, have shown
the power of consumers acting together.
So have cooperative stores which have
flourished here and there. 1t would seem
that the white collar class in this coun-
try, with its unions in imitation of labor
unions, is on the wrong track. and that
the middle class union Of England, form
cd for the purpose of influencing legis-
lation' to lower the cost of living. is on
the right track. In word, the CO.
operative movement among consumers
seems to be the solution to the ever
morepressing difficulty Of the middle
class. If this movement would spread,
if it should attain to national organi-
zation. the middle class could take its
place with labor and capital as force
in controlling the distribution of the
things by which we live.
