WATER MYSTERY

The story has been told of several Indian chiefs who visited Washington some years ago, that after their local escorts had shown them all the com forts and luxuries of a modern city, in- tending to impress them with the tre- mendous difference between their primitive surroundings and modern homes, one of them was asked what of all these wonders impressed him the most His reply came promptly, The way the white man draws water out of the side of his house"
 A moments reflection shows that the chiefs answer was entirely justified. The thing which appealed to him was the one thing whose need he had most often felt. His whole scheme of living had been built around the location of and distance from the next water hole"

 A second survey of the situation of the farm woman has just been made under the direction of Miss Florence E. Ward, for the Department of Agrl- culture. In her report which Secretary Meredith has approved, Miss Ward points out that aside from the justice and principle involved, it is faulty eco monies to overburden the women farm workers when help on the farm is SC hard to get. "At a time like this,'' she says, when the dearth of farm labor is a limiting factor in production, i is very doubtful business policy fol farmers to use increased income tC buy more land instead of using par of it in raising standards of living.

"The Buffalo Commercial" and "The

in the Eastern section of the country
that printed the Gary criticism of or
ganizcd labor as given the committee.
Although the witness stated only
four newspapers were free Of union
censorship, he did not name these pa
peYs, nor did members of the committee
ask for them.
Mr. McCone charged that the union,
through exercise Of censorship by the
shop chapel, kept articles unfavorable
to organized labor out of most news
papers.
Mr.. McCone asserted that all mem
bers of the typographical union were
forced to take an oath which he said
was decidedly un-American." He said
the principal paragraph Of this oath
declared that members of the union
should place "fidelity to my nnion and
its members above any other obligation,
social, political, religious, fraternal or
otherwise"
"They are forced to place their fidel-
ity to the union above the church and
the nation" he added.
Mr.. McCone declared great quanti-
ties of paper were wasted by news

sands of copies away in order to keep
circulation up. He advocated the aud
iting of all circulation statements by

Ill go on to fame
Along my fore-planned way
Or III die still untam'd.
My mind shall pierce the solid wall
AS quiver of tightening,
And reach beyond the gray pail
And bring forth success, height

Into effulgent lights of gold.

And mount in wilder tone
AS out to sea they roll

And rob me of Vict'ry,
