FARMERS NOT
WITH LABOR
c. w. Hunt, President of the Iowa
Farm Bureau Federation Writes
Saying They Were Not
United.

Des Moines Capital: The Iowa
farmer and the Iowa union labor work
er did not come to perfect under
standing" at the Fort Dodge labor
convention, as dispatches in a Des
Moines newspaper reported, according
to a letter by G. w. Hunt, president
of the Iowa Farm Bureau federation,
made public today by Cummins' head
quarters.
The letter was written to Charles
Brenton, Dallas Center banker.
81 am enclosing a copy OF my
speech" Mr.. Hunt wrote, land l shall
be perfectly willing to allow you to
judge whether there was any state
ment therein that could possibly be
construed to mean that farmers and
union labor could ever join hands so
long as labor persisted in making use
of the strike as a means of bettering
their conditions
Mr. Hunt told the labor delegates
that the strike Of switchmen cost the
farmers of Iowa from $500 to $500 a
car on livestock ready for shipment.
I'VE want you to understand" Mr.,
Hunt said, that our position enables
us to view both sides of the contro-
versy impartially, for the farmer is
both laborer and capitalist with a
natural tendency toward the man who
labors We maintain that capital
should not be allowed to exploit the
people of this country but should be
the means of 4erving them. To this
end we will direct our efforts. We
approve Of every honest effort of Ia
Dor to improve it's status, but we in
sist it must be in accordance with the
American idea Of law and order. When
you are right we will do all we can
to help you. If you persist in prac-
tise of the strike as your weapon of
defense you are surely riding to your
fall. Glass rights must not infringe
upon the rights of all the people. By
doing so they bring down on their
own heads the wrath of public opin-
ion, a load no special class can stand
up under.

two miles southeast Of kahoka- A
special grand jury held in this county
+! in April, among other things recon-
mended that immediate steps be
taken to remedy and make more sani-
tary the residence housing the in
mates at the county farm. 1t was
pointed out that a light and water
system was needed, also additional
rooms were necessary to house the
inmates With the discharge of the
grand jury, the matter was not
dropped, but the members continued
as an organization of citizens of the
county to see that the needed repairs
were secured, If possible. On last
Saturday afternoon meeting was
held at the court house which was
attended by members of this body
and their families, also by many
others interested in the matter. Ad-
iournment was made to the poor
farm. Here an inspection was made

he said, clearing his throat. "As a

had fled to the telephone in answer
to a peremptory summons, came back
complacent.
"Dinner at the Durant's on Sunday"
she announced. "All three of us.
Very quiet, Carol said. So l accepted
and that means you've got to stay
with us two days more anyway, Mr..
billiard. Do you mind very much?"
"Mind!" Hilliard had risen half
out of his chair His tremendous
yearning to sec Carol again, and his
violent reaction at the prospect, had
greatly influenced his voice, which was
strident, explosive. The Cullens were
laughing aloud at his confusion.
"He's blushing" crowed Angela.

was note of feminine resentment, but

deaf.

Rufus Waring was glarlng belllgerent-

see that her eyes were big and soft
and frightened. She was hardly seven
teen, and to billiard she had never
ceased to be the child of two years
ago. He bent and kissed her; her
lips were trembling, expressive.
Snow we've got to hurry" he said.
"COme dear!"
It was the tone he would naturally
use to a child, bnt he had an uneasy
feeling that he had used it to WOm-
an. Children's lips aren't expressive.
And he had another intuitlon-stil
more upsetting to him-which was
that he had been observed. For on the
threshold of the outer door Carol and
Armstrong and Rufus Waring, as
though turned back to inquire into the
cause Of billiards and Angela'S delay,
were standing.
He could not tell, of course, whether
they had actually seen him. 1t was
possible that in the dusk Of the hall
way he had escaped; certainly there
was nothing in the manner of any one
of the three, when billiard joined
them, to convince him one way or the
other. But he knew that he was in
critical situation; he knew that to any
reasonable person who had seen him
at that spontaneous little outburst Of
sentiment, his motives wouldn't appear
to be very Opaque.
No, the manner of those three who
had stood on the threshold was aston
ishingly casual Perhaps too casual.
Hilliard frowned, and tried to
glimpse their various expressions. All!
Warning, striding stiItedly ahead, had
thunderclouds on his forehead, and as
for Carol
She turned to speak to Armstrong,
and billiard knew.
For the remainder of the first stage
of that walk, he spoke not word to
Angela, who trudged along by his side
with God knows what tumults in her
bosom. He thought not of Angela, nor
concerned himself with the storm he
had stirred within her. He was alb
sorbed solely with the puzzle which

Carol as soon as possible, and to ex-

And, to his unbounded joy, the OPP
pOrtunity came soon-at the end Of
the road, where the party halted fora
moment, to take referendum as to
the route Armstrong strayed a yard
or two too far, and on the instant Hill
lard was at Carols elbow. She said
nothing, nor did he but when the
march was resumed, he was beside her
and beating his brains for an intro
ductOry remark. He had to convince
her he had been trifiing with neither
herself nor Angela, and he walked
good furlong before he could devise so
much as an opening sentence. AT
length he cleared his throat.

CHAPTER VII.

Since Friday night, Hilliard had
lived only for Sunday; his whole exis-
tence had been turned to Sunday, and
when at last the morning dawned, his
greatest fear was that he might not
live until dinner-time.
On reaching Carols side, he was
both awkward and incoherent; and he
failed to derive encouragement from
the realization which gradually stole
over him, that the Durants had asked
a number of other guests to dinner.
Armstrong was waiting patiently in
the aisle, and keeping closer to Carol
than billiard liked, and there was also
a bright-faced boy Of nineteen or twen-
ty who had promptly attached himself
to Angela-his name was Warning, and
he was the grandson of the patriarch
al clergyman, with the head of Moses
and the spirit of youth, who presently
came down to join the little group, and
complete it. SO that altogether there
were nine people who finally sat down
TO table; and billiards. dream Of quiet
progress and harDored conversation
was shattered IN a twinkling.
It was all very hOmelike, and all
very friendly, but to billiard, sitting
there between Carol and her mother,
the occasion was peculiarly acute. He
had long since discarded any residue
of his active fears; he was con-
fdent in his disguise to the
point of recklessness, for he had
covered the windings of the trail by an
infinite variety of methods; and yet
without having any tangible facts to
grasp, be was subtly warned to re-
main isentry duty over his poise.

Walk That Tells Character.

A peculiar walk is that of the long
stride with the decided swing of the
shoulders. This walk is generally to
be seen in authors, actors and artists,
and is characteristic Of the art world,
the man who has ideas of his own,
and is quite untrammeled by conven-
ton. 1t denotes independence and, ii
accompanied by an emphatic planting
down Of the left foot, stamp in fact,
resolution and determination.

a time, he amused himself by watch
ing Angela and Warlng playing their
world-old game across the table; after
that, he paid little polite attention
to Mrs. Durant, and to the clergyman;
and then snatching an opportunity un-
looked for, he gave his klndest smile
to Carol, and for an instant took the
monopoly from Armstrong. And he
had hardly looked down once into her
October-brown eyes before the mystery
of his restlessneSs was as clear as
crystal, and billiard was thoroughly
dumfOunded, and confused.
1t had come upon him, a quarter of
an hour ago, as they exchanged their
first superficial sentences, that he was
lonelier than he had ever imagined,
but he hadn't realized, until this i'm
mediate contingency, that this sensa-
tion had carried over until now. He
was prevented by the very limits of
the project which had brought him
here, from releasing any of his sincere
thoughts; he hadn't comprehended, I'M
til he had learned the truth just now
by actual experience, that loneliness
is nothing but an aggravated state Of
self-repression. Never In all his life,
not even when he had lain for months
in hospital in France, had he been as
lonely as today, and at this moment,
when he was surrounded by people he
knew intimately, and when he was en-
joined from sharing in their communl-
ty of mind.
Carol, looking up at him with what
wasn't exactly smile, but was at
least a cousin to it-that well-remem-
bered flash of sympathetic interest
Carol spoke to him under cover Of the
general conversation.
"A penny for your thoughts!" she
proffered.
"They aren't worth it." said Hill
lard. 81 was thinking about myself"
He continued to regard her steadily,
and he was alarmed to discover that
he was losing one of the abilities
which had made him so sure Of him
self. He continued to hold that she
had treated him shabbily, mercilessly;
but Notwithstanding that, as he gazed
at her, and perceived the sweet nat
uralness which was developing out Of
last weeks shock, he was secretly per-
turbed. In spite of himself, he be-
gan to see, as though by camera OBJ
scura, dim visions of the past; he was
righteously annoyed that they should
rise to torment him, and still the vi
sions came.
But after all that you've been
through" she said, II should think
your thoughts about yourself would
be extremely Interestingly"
''I'm afraid they're rather gloomy,
Miss Durant, whenever they touch on
what I've been through. And when
anything like this gathering here to-
day builds up a comparison. :. I'm
sorry, but can't always master it."
'You mean the difference between a
family over here and family over
there?"
Exactly" he said. "Down to the
last detail-what we eat, and where
we live, and what we talk about, and
what we think about-everything."
'Ive thought of that, too" she said
soberly. But I'll have to confess that
it wasn't until you came-it wasn't
until after that first night at Angela's
that the great difference came home
to me. It's made me feel that it's al
