to the entire nation, and therefore

WORK OR sraAvE

No one has yet invented sys-
tenn by which we can consume q
loaf Of bread without first produc-
ing it. II we all decline to produce
food, We starve. Divinely simple
isn't itf
A New Jersey farmer asks why
should producer of food be COM
PEELED to work eighty four hours a
week to feed another who works but
forty two at much higher pay.
He suggests that if all farmers
will agree to cut their acreage to
one-fifth, they will only have to
work six hours and they'll get five
times as much for their products.
one fifth the usual amount of food,
But if the farmers produced only
there would not be enough to go
arund.
And if the farmers were paid on
a six hour basis with double pay for
overtime, and the same thing ap-
piled to distributors, all the consul
mers could do would be to form a
union and refuse to eat.
But a man must eat. Wherefore
someone must labor as long as nec-
essary to produce the required a.
mount Of food.

Of what they will produce. None
of them can work less without cut
ing down his own resources. OF
course the time would come, as
someone has very aptly pointed out
when those who were fleetest of
foot and could alone catch the wild
goats upon which hundred lived,
would demand more recompense
and undoubtedly get it.
The farmer il now in the position
Of the fleet-footed goat chaser,
He must not be irritated into strik-
ing for more pay and less work. But
he could not be blamed for follow
ing examples set on every side.

truth is that We are approaching

tion may be eclipsed by our nation

ruptcy. Then it will be, work OF

But that is all our fault. We
put them there. and then We prompt

tions, to tell them what We want

We go to sleep at home, and the
congressman, of course, follows
our example and goes TO sleep in

That's the reason congress does
not do something.
II each voter in the district would

WHEN THE GIANT srlas

When the lion roars the lesser
animals take to cover. The law of
self preservation even to the lower
kingdom.
When the giant stirs the midest
trembles and turns to flight. One
sweep Of that mighty arm means
determination to all within its reach
In our country We have the great
est Of all giants. For centuries he
has been peacefully sleeping, but
today he is beginning to stir.
This giant is the American far
mer, the one man of earth upon
whom all the world depends for its
very existence.
Capitalistic profiteers have goug-
ed him until his hide resembles
sieve. Labor agitation and strikes
have curtailed his legitimate activi-
ties until his exasperation has reach
ed the point of explosion.
But the giant is calling halt.
He has grasped his club of war and
is going into action.
A new organization for farmers
has been created. 1t is the Ameri-
can Federation of Farm Bureaus. It
proposes to be to the farmer what
the American Federation of Labor
has been to the cause of union labor
/ Its object is to protect the far
mer and the Average American citi-
zen from the injustices of capital
and labor. In this it will undoubt-
edly have the sympathy and co-op-
eraion Of that large class Of peo-
pie who are neither capitalists nor
unionists, who are now at the mercy
of both.
The new federation will not use
bombs or other like means of de-
struction. 1t will not use physical
force or intimidation of any nature.
1t will use horse sense and per-
sunsion where persuasion will ac-
complish the desired results.
II may resort to the ballot where
other means fail.
The farmer wants q fair price for
the products of his soil. He wants
the ultimate consumer to receive
these products at an equally fair
price, without enriching horde of
useless and INSCRIPTIONS middle
men, spectators and profiteers.
If all Of the farm societies and
clubs are amalgamated into one
great central organization-similiar
to he American Federation Of Labor.
its power will be so tremendous that
no interest and no person can poll
tically or commercially survive its
displeasures.
Its millions of votes could elect
any or nll government and state Of
ficials-it could dictate every act
of congress- it could place its own
Judges on the benefit could have
only such laws as those it might or
iginate and approve.
If this new organization follows
out its announced plan Of looking
after the interests of those Of The
people who are now between the
corporations and the labor unions,
the profiteers and the agitators
may well take to cover.
| A nemesis will soon be on thair
trail, and it's mercy is as yet IN
unknown quantity.
The giant is beginning to stir.

WHAT ARE FARmERsa

A farmer is man who has no de-
sire to become millionaire. His
trade is the most nessary one and
the least appreciated. He is the
backbone of the nation whit all 9th
er are merely its lesser limbs; but
very few Of the others think so.
Farmers inagurated the eight hour
working system long before the city
man dreamed Of uninos and nom
unions. Since the beginning of time
they have worked eight hours in the
forenoon and eight hours in the after
noon through rain and sunshine, joy
and sorrow, and when they sell the
fruit of their labor they usually re-
ceive the rate per day for their work
that their city brothers pull down for
six hours.
II farmers have decent crop and
the price is SO cheap they don't get
enough to pay for seed, fertilizer
and work, the city folk riaucule
them and their families because their
clothes are shabby and their build
ings need coat of paint. If crop
are poor and things are three times
higher in price, they say the farmers
are schemers and eet-rich- quick
Wallingfords. And the middlemen
smile serenely.
The average city deweller regards
a farmer as more or less ignorant
creature in overalls and straw hat
with hayseed adorning his makeup
whereas tl't ',rmer has colledge
education hat many university stu
dents never heard of. He is grad
uate of the most wonderful school
in the world-the School of Nature
and every day he is taking post
graduate courses in all its branches
the throbbing works of his common
daily life.
The politician is farmers warm
est friend before election and his
worst enemy afterward. If far
mer wants a law enacted in his fav-
or he usually has to throttle his
representative as dog does n
wood chuck. q a--'',----
Farmers take city newspapers and
keep up with city times, but whoever
heard of a city man taking n farm
paper to keep up with farming times
That is why n country fellow always
succeeds in the city while city folks
so often make failures farming.
Farmers may be poor, patched,
stained md careless of appear
ance when they are rushed, which is
nearly always. but they are steadily
coming into their own, and we guess
they are about us happy and inde-.
pendent as most people. They can
sometimes have meat with their
meals without going into bankrup-
tcy.
Hurrah for the farmers Of Amer
lea. They are not doing their "bit'
but their best, often under adverse

A NATIONAL LABOR PARTY

Before this paper reaches its read
ers a national labor party will have
held its convention and probably
nominated its candidates for presi-
dent and president. The leaders
Of this movement, who by the way
are leaders Of organized labor, are
representing that farmers organiza
tions are affiliated with them in the
formation of the new party. This,
however, the leaders of substantial
farmers organizations emphatically
deny.
just whatYis likely to be the
farmers attitude toward the contro-
versy between capital and labor,
which is really the impelling force
behind the organization of the labor
party
In the first place farmer is a
capilist, but not the type of capital
ist the organized laborer says he is
fighting, although in the announce
ment of the labor program the lead
ers have said that one Of the objects
Of the new party is the limitation of
land ownership and the prevention
Of owning land except for actual
farming purposes.
In the second place, the farmer is
a laborer, but not the type of labor
er the organized capitalist is fighting
The capitalist wants to keep wages
down so that he may make the lar
gest profit from the labor he employs
and in order to keep wages down ht
