woman Of pretty face and sensuous

Robert Browning caught the intro

To the largely feminine audience the
reading was warning TO treat mus-

To the men present It raised the
question whether they should give a
pretty girl civil service examination
before marriage.

INTELLIGENT PLANTS

In recent book, Royal Dixon maintains that
plants have "a human side" lie tells OF plants that
walk plants that swim, plants that flv-or at least
use arplanes to enable their seeds to fly of plants
that fish, that keep servants and domestic animals
that use animals for transportation, that forecast
the weather and tell the time Of day and accomplish
many other marves that seem TO ape human inteE-
gence.
We know of course, that plants are not really
human as that term is usually understood and that
they are not even on par wit. the animals that
consider far beneath u.s. But it is admittedly hard TO
tell just where to draw the line between plants and
animals and animals and men. and the more
studies nature with open mind the more there does
seem to be some sort Of intelligence and feeling COM
mon to all living things.
Samuel Butler in one Of his books, maintains
that both plants and animals actually possess intel
lgence not merely of the human sort, but IN some
particulars above the E.'nan standard He accounts
for all such marves mentioned above by ex-
planning that the plants know exactly what they
are aboutthat they do what they do because, in the
course of long and shrewd experimentation, they
have found that that is the besr way tr them to get
along Likewise with animals. The chicken creates
an egg he says because the chicken has learned eX
actly how to do it, with definite purpose in view;
and the egg in turn creates chicken because the egg
knows by oft-repeated experience just how to go
about that wonderful task The acorn produces an
OAK because 1CWdIlIS W 10 III dLu hIloWS NoW IH0
Towering plant knows all about bees, and produces
flowers especially designed to attract them and have
them distribute it's pollen
The knowledge Of the plant or animal is all the
more perfect, Butler arges because it is so largely
unconscious We ourselves know perfectly, ne re-
minds us, those things that we have done so often
that we have learned to do them automatically That
is the way with the bees and ants When you are
conscious of knowing thing, he SAYS you do not
know it absolutely
There is infinite interest," recreation and stilnu-
ation to be found in observing our plant and animal
brethren. The worlds great deal bigger, more
varied and more wonderful than any petty round
of business, society and politics.

SWEAT OR STARvE

general food shortage would cap the
climax in the series of stupidities with
which, as people, we have burdened our
selves since the armistice. And this is pre-.
cisely what is coming unless something
like real craftsmanship is invoked to
avert it.
The conditions which foreshadow this
absurd and unnecessary calamity are
plainly visible to all who still retain the
old fashioned notion that there is rela-
ton between cause and effect. The acre
age of winter wheat has been cut down
third this year Tens of thousands of
small farms have been abandoned. Thou
sands Of truck gardeners and fruit grow
ers have been ruined by the antics of the
striking freight handlers in the ports and
on the railroads. In certain sections of
the Corn Belt the feeding of cattle, hogs
and sheep for butchering has been cut
down to fifth of normal. And all over
the country farmers are being forced to
reduce their crop production this season
to the limit Of what they can do without
hired help.
All this is against the desire of the food
producers. They would not shut down
their business except to avoid financial
ruin 1t is not the farmers fault that cit
les are absorbing the rural population.
Nor can they be blamed for the exagger-
ated industrial development which uses
up the supplv of labor. And these two
general causes are at the bottom of the
trouble.
During the war we were frequently re
minded that armies advance on their
stomachs. Within year or so we shall
learn bv painful and costly experience
that cities do the same. The grocerv and
bakery are poor substitutes for the farm.
And it is the acme of idiocv to imagine
that the farmer will slave long hours in
order to furnish food at loss to hordes
of people who won't do honest davis work
in the great industries. and vet who man-
age to draw three times as much pay for
Stacking on their Jobs as the farmer g"t,
for sweating on his.
High pay, short hours and easy condi-
lions in industry will have to be accom-
panied by high production or these mil
lennial blessings will soon be pinched off
by famine.
The Presidents Industrial Conference
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1920-05-27

in it's valuable report devotes couple OF
pregnant pages to discussion of agri-
culture. Every city dweller should study
this document and lay it's lessons to heart.
Among other things the conference says
There is broad national problem in the
disparity of human effort applied to ag-
riculture and that applied to general in
dustry If the conditions of labor and eff
fort in general industry are to be relaxed
below the standards in agriculture. it can
only result in an increased burden on ag-
riculture with sequel of diminished ag-
ricultural production"
Translated into plain United States this
means that we cannot go on much furth-
er if we demand sweat from the farmer
and permit Stacking by the mill and fac
tory employee. The farmer, being human
will quit and "what will the brides do
then, poor things?"
To quote again: 'If under such dispar-.
ity Of effort general industry can still
find an outlet for its commodities in ex-
port trade, it means ultimately the de-,
pendence of the United States on import
ed food. 1t means the uphlilding Of large
industrial centers with all their train of
human problems. From the standpoint
of the physical and oral developn.ent of
the people as whole the conference be-
lieves it would be disaster to exaggerate
industrial development at the cost of ag-
riculture."
1t is time for every thinking American
to stop and look at the facts when this in
dustrial conference warns us that our
present economic and industrial set-up is
leading us toward dependence on the out
side world for food.
Could anything be more criminallv alb
surd and stupid, no nation in the world
possesses more abundant or diversified
form of resources than America. And yet
following the lure Of the gregarious in
stinct, we are actually shaping up to lose
our agricultural independence.
1t is not too late to avert the threatened
disaster. The first step in this direction
is to stop aiding the slackers, and penaliz-
ing the producers. The way to even up
the disparity" between city Stacking ard
country sweat is for public opinion to l,l-
sist that every man pull his own weight
in the boat.
Then let us have machinery devised TO-
put city folks in cities and farmer folks
on farms. There are probably millions Of
people grinding aong in urban industries
who are in the wrong place. If we can
show them how, they will gladly go to
the farms and become producers
Meanwhile only the most hopelessly OPP
timistic will expect high wages low out
put and dear commodities to be accom-
panied by cheap and abundant food. The
farmer is not in the market for that kind
of gold brick-Leslie's Weekly.
