WHEN THE WORM TURNS.

The big corporations, the financiers and the
new breed of war millionaires are entrenched be-
hind their dollars and greed and can see moth
ing but their own pleasure and their own will.
Their towering ambition is greater wealth and
power.
The labor unions, long suffering from capitals
tic rapacity, have assumed gigantic proportions
where by the nod of one man they are able to
paralyze the industry of the country, throw hum
dreds of thousands of people out of employment,
and bring others to sickness, starvation and the
grave. Their power has gone to their heads.
The two classes combined represent only a
small proportion of the population of the coun-
try, yet they practically dominate everything to
the exclusion of other classes.
The farmers, merchants, editors, preachers,
and millions of others are at their mercy and
gasping under the capitalistic and labor heels
because they are not organized. They represent
the great majority of the population, and yet
thew are dominated by the small minority.
But the worm will endure just so much tor
ment and then it will turn. And this is equally
true of the worms of the human family.
In Russia the aristocrats plundered the peas
ants until human nature could stand no more.
Then the peasants arose in their might and tore
the aristocrats asunder. Russia is a. bolshevistic
hell as a result of this misuse of power.
Washington should remove it's smoked glass
es, take a look around and note conditions as they
exist. Some day the American worm may turn
It may tire of the capitalistic plundering and the
welding of the labor lash. 1t may send people to
Washington who will represent the great masses
and not these two small classes. Then the fin.
ancier with a billion III his fist will look no better
than the labor dictator with a lash in his hand
And neither will look good at all. Even in Amer
lea the classes are not immune from the wrath Of
the masses-when desperation points the way
says an exchange.

There is a man in Iceland, so the

country to work generating electricity

DYING

We need our newspapers IN this country as
much as we need our business houses, our schools
and our churches-and yet during the year 1919
almost 1000 papers were permitted to die because
paper, ink, type and labor practically doubled IN
price, while the subscription rates and advertising
were not advanced accordingly. In other words,
1000 newspaper editors proved they were poor
business men, because every man in business rals-
es the price of his product the moment 1t costs
him one cent more to produce it, and the retailer
raises the price to the consumer the moment the
wholesaler charges more.
A free press is absolutely necessary to a tree
country, for the newspapers are always to be
found on the side of good government. All
read them. One may only scan the headlines an
other the sensations; father wants the markets,
mother the personal column, son the athletic news
and daughter the fashions.
"Trade hardly deems the busy day begun
Till it's keen eye along the sheet has run;
The growing daughter throws her needle by
And reads her schoolmate's marriage with a
sigh;
While the grave mother puts her glasses on,
And gives a tear to some old cronie gone.
The preacher, too, his Sunday theme lays down,
To know what last new folly fills the town"
Right now, while other communities are threa-
tened with the loss of a paper that is Of more val
ue to them than they are able to estimate, would
be a good time for you to renew your allegiance
to yours. Don't let it be said that the community
failed in its support of an institution that stands
as high as the school or the church in making the
community worth living in.-Yazoo Sentinel.

The hope of the future lies In the
boys and young men. We of the older
generation will not be able to set the
Red river On fire-we didn't start soon
enough. I've heard several boys say
they might as we'll not go to school
If they must go home and start in
farming with their fathers. Father
often forgets that the son has out
grown the small boy stage, and there
fore father feels that his judgment is
much superior. Perhaps it is, but often
it isn't. We are all human, even to
h boys, and we enjoy carrying out
plans which we helped to make. Not
only this, but the boy can often make
very helpful suggestions as to how
best to get large accomplishments,
Jays Farm Life. Many fathers never
really find out the merit which lies
in their W m until the sons are
given some really responsible share In
he business of the farm. Boys are
quick to work that carries with
it no responsibility and they call such
work a task, and there is much differ
ence between a job and a task.

STARVED AMID PLENTY.

An American intelligence officer,
writing from Siberia, says that he
cad in home papers Of the sacrifices
Americans We're making to send grain
to Russia. and then he looked out of
the window and saw that grain that
had been cut and stacked up two years
ago, and had been left standing there
to rot. For one reason or another the
Russians had simply fahed to take
advantage of their OWL opportunities.
says Binghamton Press. There is no
reason to suppose that the peasants
nde the dictatorship of Lenine are
more thrifty than they are under the
rule OF kolchak in Siberia. We hear
a great deal about the BLOCKADE OF
Russia. WeIl-meaning women in New
York a few days ago held a demon
stration against such a policy. But
Russia In normal times is the granary
Of Europe. The country has been free
from the menace of serious German
attack for more than two years. Rus
sia's sutfcringS today are largely the
result of internal paralysis. And, if
the natives can ever be persuaded to
stop fighting among themselves and
to give US a chance to help them onto
their feet, the greatest thing we can
do for them will be to lend them the
services of trained organizers.

If You Have A News
Item, Why Not Tell Us?

There are many people who could
help the editor give the town a bet
ter and more newsy paper, if they
would only give the matter a little
thought, and thereby not only do a
favor to the publisher, but to all the
readers of the paper as we'll. The
way to do this is simply to report any
news item you may know of to the
office or publisher, whether of i'm
portance or not. Instead Of waiting to
be asked what is the news, and then
answer you don't know any-feeling
that some happening of special i'm
portance is referred to-when you
know of some little item, personal
mention or local happening, why don't
o ask a representative Of the paper
if he doesn't want a news item and
then tell him about it, whether it has
reference to self Or somebody else?
1t will be appreciated, and no one will
think that you are seeking notorlety.

VANISHING OF WOOD.

Clifford Pinchot, who probably knows
about forest and lumber condi-
tons than any man In the country,
say the cutting of timber now going
on is reckless destruction. It is being
cut three times as fast as we are
growing it and we are using nine times
as much lumber as we are growing, he
declares, adding that no such destruc-
ton has been done before since the
world began. This being the case, 1t
follows that building materials. so far
as they include wood, are not likely
to decrease in price, though they are
now very high. Also furniture prices
will not be lower, says Indianapolis
Star. Other mater1a1s-prick, iron,
stone, tile, concrete-are now being
utilized more than ever before by
builders, and most business blocks and
the more elaborate and substantial
apartment houses have no wood in
their construction except what is visi
Bile in floors, door castings and Other
interior finishings. This method was
introduced originally in the fnteres'
of fire prevention, but it may become
a matter of economy to find a sub
stitute for even this limited usage Of
wood.
