movement as the only remedy to save
America from what might mean Boil
shevism; the direct benefit that
would result from the government of
the United States opening the door
to the help-deserving immigrant, and
the establishment Of agricultural col
onies in California as a means Of
solving the hunger problem in the
congested city sections, were among
the most important matters dis
coursed upon by the speakers today
at the twenty-third annual Succoth
Harvest Pilgrimage to the National
Farm School.
Approximately 1900 persons from
Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore
and Kansas City attended the exer-
cises, which were held in Adolph Sc
gal Hall in the morning and on the
beautiful school campus in the aft
ernoon. Governor Sproul presided,
and among other speakers were Sec
rotary of Agriculture Rasmussen, of
Pennsylvania; Rev. DR.. Joseph /.
Krauskopf, of Philadelphia, president
and founder of the school; Bernhard
Ostrolenk, director of the school;
Louis Marshall, New York attorney
and president of the New York State
College of Forestry; and Rabbi ST.
mon Cohen of Brooklyn, N. Y.
Following the morning exercises
the pilgrims were taken on tour Of
inspection of the school and were
shown the results of the efforts put
forth by the 100 students, who be-
fore entering the institution knew
nothing Of agriculture, most Of them
coming from the crowded sections Of
the larger cities. An innovation at
the pilgrimage this year was an ex-
hibition of farm products raised by
the students, carefully arranged in
Adolph Segal Hall. Governor Sproul,
the first speaker, paid a stirring trib-
ute to DR.. Joseph Krauskopf, presi-
dent of the school, and spoke Of the
great future Of agriculture and Of
the school itself.
Sproul Urges Agriculture Study.

tom of the valley in agriculture de-
cline" said the governor, "and we
are liable to become overbalanced in
dustrially if we allow agriculture to
continue to decline. We must do
something to build up agriculture"
The governor related that he was
born on farm and that he was not
a modern agriculturist as those born
in a city spending their money on
the farms, but that he had been born
in the country, made his money there,
and was spending it in the city.
"When the Hebrews and the Quak-
ers work together, as they do now,
in agricultural work, / believe the
great work will benefit" he went on,
"and / can see during the next ten
years a great future in store for the

ing the past ten years. Much in dis
favor in recent years, the immigrant
is special object of dislike at the
present time. Men fail to recognize
our country's great need of him, the
large place he could fill in this land"
Speaking Of how the hunger menace
would effect this country, DR.. Kraus-
kopf said:
Hunger Cause of Bitterness.
ut is the cry for bread that is at
the bottom of the bitterness Of feel
ing between capital and labor, be-
tween employer and employee, which
at times finds vent in outrages as
dastardly as the one recently COM
mitted in Wall street, New York. If
we are to allow hunger to stalk in
our congested districts, it may mean

establishment of agricultural colon

dents Of the Farm School, to be known
as the Mother Colony" was the

GRAFTON, and without reasonable re-
turns for labor expended and capital
invested, the agriculture Of the coun-
try will neither be permanent nor
successful" said Secretary Of Agri-
culture Rasmussen Of Pennsylvania,
addressing the afternoon session.
"The day Of individualism on the farm
is past. Pennsylvania or the nation
cannot add greatly to its agriculture
by the addition Of land not now I'M
der cultivation, although it is still a
factor, but better utilization Of the
land already in use will add greatly
to the total food supply and the ag-
ricultural wealth Of the state and the
nation"
Louis Marshall Of New York, said
that the only way to bring down the
high cost of living and exorbitant
prices was to bring to pass at once
the "back to the farm movement"
How the shortage Of labor on the
farm is bringing about a new era
in the manufacture Of modern farm
machinery was point made clear by
Director 0strolenk, who said: "Of
the % graduates last February from
this school, boys who averaged a lit
tie over 10 years in age, and none of
whom had any farm experience prior
to their coming to the school, nine
are today earning 500 and more a
month and their board and lodging"
The opening exercises Of the semi
nary were held Wednesday evening
at the Seminary building in the pres
ence Of the faculty, students Of the
seminary, students Of the teachers
institute and alumni. They were de-
voted almost exclusively to addresses
in memory Of Prof. Israel Friedland-

while in the service Of the Joint Dis
tributon Committee.

sHUTrING OFF SUPPLY.

There is proposal before congress to again
raise the immigration poll tax under it an i'm
migrant from Poland, Lithuania or the Baltic
provinces would have to pay eight hundred and
thirty three dollars to get here; he can buy a
home in his own land for less money. Other
drastic regulations over immigration are pro-
posed in measures pending before congress.
We are right in seeking protection against I'M
desirables, but we have need to use sense in the
mthods we adopt.
The farms of this land must have labor; the
farmers cannot work their lands without it and
must get it when they need it and at a wage
they can pay and for hours of labor that the
laws of nature make incumbent on successful
farming. Farmers at the last will not be put
under compulsion they of all people can sup
port themselves by their own labor. Now it is
shown by federal department of labor figures
that, although the immigration and emigration
figures are coming to balance, the supply of
unskled labor, so-called, is being constantly de-
pleted; the labor we are getting is coming with
ambition to work In the trades. What we most
need is class of experienced farm workers;
along the border Mexicans have helped to some
extent. Belgium The Netherlands, China in
particular, could furnish us much needed sup
ply of farm labor. If we put up barriers to I'M
migration without due discretion, we shall not
end unrest and bolshevism; we shall stimulate
it. For our basic supply of foods and raw ma
terials viii contract sharply; our trade supply
of labor will increase beyond our needs and liv
ing costs will rise even higher than they are.
This sort of condition would make more dis
satisfied radicals in our home land in three
months than are likely to come to it from else
where in as many years.
General Wood talks sound sense. He de-
clares that rather than bar immigration too
strictly the proper thing to do is to provide for
its careful and just supervision when it comes
to u.s.

BOOKS FOR EVERYBODY

The American Library ASSOCIATION is work
ing hard at its campaign for ''books for every
ibody.'' This is something to be wished for by
all good citizens The rural districts in par
ticular are poorly off for library supply as COM
pared with the cities The association began
with plea for two million dollars; almost every
movement to better conditions starts with
plea for some millions Many local library
boards have publicly declared their opposition
i to campaign at this time for large sum of
money and there is much inclination by many
Ipeople to agree with this opinion.
It is generally supposed that in progress from
war to peace, we get back to common sense
ways of doing things. But some things done
under the war stimulus bring results our peace
ful routine does not. While there are not
enough libraries, not enough books ''for every
BODY there are lot of books that nobody is
using In wartime immense libraries were
quickly recruited to service. Has any library
enthusiast considered the possibility of supply
ing in part the need of librariless communi-
ties by securing cooperation from communi-
tees where there are books to spare? A sal
aried librarian is of course desirable, but prob
ably good service could be had without compen-
sation in many places where public library is
really wanted
The American Library association is quite
right in its effort; books for everybody is AMI
educational advantage to be sought. 1t isl
worth the money the association wants when
the right time comes to appropriate this sum
Meantime something might be done without
lions Of dollars by simple cooperation. Some
times it seems that millions in money are more
easily got than the cooperation that would save
them.

1t begins to look as though Mr.. Hoover Is In
danger of in Jury at the hands Of his friends.
Here, for instance is the Manchester Guardian,
one of the leading papers OF the British empire,
impressing upon its readers the 1mportanc, to
Europe, of the next American presidential cleo
ton. Says the Guardian:
II may be said without fear of contradiction
that Mr.. Hoover is the available who
league S Of nations. Mr. Hoover would
play the cards he held and would play them for the
appeasement Of Europe. Mr. Hoovers
purposes thoroughly expressed by Mr. Will
son. = = What distinguishes him from the
president is that, though less articuate, he is
really great negotiator and a great admins
traitor In fact, of the tragedies of Paris
that Mr.. Hoover played only comparatively min
or role in the princ pal settlements The question
o. VINO rne H snd te or ban h dae ~ thy
treatys ratification or the character of the reser,
signify permanence in the American relationship
to Europe
All of which will be interesting reading to
millions of Americans-even to those who favor
a free trade policy that results in American i'm
portation of commodities ''made in England
1t would be difficult to find free trader so
closely welded to his foreign relations theories
as to favor the election of an American presi-
dent ''made in England'
No one will gainsay the assertion of the Man
cheter Guardian that Mr.. Hoover is a great ne
gotiator and great administrator. He must
have done some very effective negotiating to
assume in the British financial world the place
of commanding Influence which he seems to
have attained. The long list Of British cor
porations in which he is a dominating factor is
in itself pretty conclusive proof of his nego-
tiating capabilities. IF Mr. Hoover were presi-
dent it may be conceded that he would play
his cards, as his admirer, the Manchester
Guardian says ''for the appeasement of
Europe'' He would not only play his cards to
that end, but, because of his skill as negotator
and all administrator, he would play them well.
But-and here is the one cause for hesitation
among the people who cast votes in the United
States-the ''great interest manifested in
Europe in the movement to make Mr.. Hoover

Marshalltown Times-Republican !:
Women are beginning to desire the
ballot. There are many things ;ney
desire TO vote for and almost as
many they are ready to vote against.
Generally speaking, the women are
taking the ballot seriously enough to
vote when they get the chance. 1t
would be safe prediction to pro-
phesy that within five years after
general suffrage comes in the woman
vote will equal the male vote.
