GET BEHIND

beginning to wake up and see that
the farmer must be helped out of his
labor and credit difficulties. A mem
Der of the federal reserve board was
quoted the other day as saying that
the country must get behind the far
mer. With the prices of everything
the farmer buys, including labor, go
ing sky high, it is inevitable that food
production fall off. Already it is pre-
dicted that the wheat crop of the
world will fall off one third.
This authority feels that one remedy
IS to extend more credit to the farmer,
SO he can have power machinery to
take the place of labor.

Witness recent efforts in that di

on the failure.
Nor is there any other jib, that ]
know of, that a man can do alone.
Witness innumerable failures of the
one-man enterprises, within your own
knowledge. Then look at the great
successes.

Team work is the first essential of

Politics is applied common sense.
Team work is the one thing of
imperative importance in politics.
Let us have it.
Now is the time for consultation;
now should the county chairmen
bring in the workers; now should the
ranks be extended; now should the
young people be enlisted; now should
it be made clear that the party's work
is for all the party membership, and
the party membership is for all we'll

KEEPING THE
RURAL TEACHER

Some teachers give up country
schools, not so much because of low
salaries, as because too much is ex-
pected of them.
The district may intend to hire a
j~anitor, but not be able to find one,
in which case the work is usually put
over on the teacher. Very likely the
stove is cracked and smoky, the fun
end of the yard, and no kindling. A
hundred difficulties of this kind arise.
Any schools of this kind in Hum
boldt county which have been COM
planning because teachers go else
where?

town, the next afternoon, George Ann
berson Minafer was walking up Nation
al avenue on his homeward way when
he saw in the distance, coming toward
him, upon the same side of the street,
the figure Of young lady-a figure
just under the middle height, comedy
indeed, and to be mistaken for none
other in the wOrld-even at two hum
dred yards. To his sharp discontinue
his heart Immediately forced upon him
the consciousness of its acceleration
sudden warmth about his neck made
him aware that he had turned red.
and then, departing, left him pale. For
a panicky moment he thought of fac
ing about in actual flight; he had little
doubt that Lucy would meet him with
no token of recognition, and all at
once this probability struck him as I'M
endurable. And if she did not speak,
was 1t the proper part of chivalry to
lift his hat and take the cut bare
headed? Or should the finer gentle
man acquiesce in the lady's desire for
ne further acquaintance, and pass her
with stony mien and eyes constrained
forward? George was young man
badly flustered.
AS they drew nearer George tried to
prepare himself to meet her with some
remnant of aplomb. He kept his eyes
from looking full at her, and as he
saw her thus close at hand, and COM
ing nearer, regret that was dunn
founding took possession of him. For
the first time he had the sense of hav-
ing lost something of overwhelming Inn
portance.
Lucy did not keep to the right,
bit came straight to meet him, smil-
ing, and with her hand offered to him,
"Why-you-" he stammered, as he
took it. Haven't you" What he
meant to say was: Haven't you heard?"
Haven't I what?" she asked; and he
saw that Eugene had not told her.
"Nothing~ he gasped. MAY +
may turn and walk with you little

"Yes, indeed!" she said cordially.
He would not have altered what had
been done: he was satisfied with all
that-satisfied that it was right, and
that his own course was right. But he
began to perceive a striking inaccu-
racy in some remarks he had made TO

mittee of the Labour Party and labor lead
ers in Parliament. While the National
leaders, as a whole, are saying little,
there are some of them who have declar-
ed in favour of a sympathetic strike, no
tably in Scotland and Atburry, Wales.
The newspapers are making much OF the
fact that while the strike is completely
effective there are considerable sections
of the miners who entered it half
heartedly and only because they were
ordered to do so. The West York
shire miners are among those who
d~isapproved of the strike, although
declaring that they will stand by the
rest. The miners of the vital South
Wales coalfelds represent the belliger-
ent section of the strikers. The bulk OF
the Extremists of the Federation are to
be found here and they are eager TO
carry the fight to the bitter end. The
shipping, steel, iron and other Industries
are already hard hit, many thousands OF
men are out of work today in various
parts of the country and it seems GER
tain by the end of the week there will
be many scores of thousands unemployed
as a number of factories will be able to
operate only a short time without new
supplies of coal.

double dealing. He declared his state
