maintained that agriculture is the one
basic, fundamental industry, upon
which the others depend largely.
Production Is Need of Hour.
More work and more production Is
what this country needs now" Mr..
Dyer asserted, ''for production is the
need of the hour, with no production
of slackers."
He accused the labor industries of
paying higher wages, and taking the
farm laborers into cities, leaving the
farm work to be done by the old men
and young boys, because the farmers
cannot meet the demands in wages
offered by Industries. He cited the
tractor manufacturers for inducing
farm laborers to leave the farms, and
In turn expected to sell their product
to the farmers as labor-saving means.
He congratulated the farmers for she
sp1rie of cooperation between the
country folks and business men of
the city.
Mr.. Dyer was preceded on. the pro-
gram by several entertaining numbers,
including the Hoosier Harmony Three
of indianapolis, Sidney Jerome, COM
ed1an of Indianapolis, readings by Mrs.
Evaline Outland of Carthage and Sc
lections by the Arlington band.

The End of Outlaw Strike

When striking switchmen of Chicago, who
deserted their work in face of contrary orders
from union headquarters, voted to abandon the
strike and return to work the other day, it
marked a victory for organized labor.
Responsible heads Of the union warned them
of the folly of striking and begged them to stay
on their jobs until their grievances could be ad-
justed. Persuaded to do the contrary by ire
sponsible leaders, many deserted their posts,
precipitating a transportation tie-up that cost
the country millions of dollars
Throughout the controversy, conservative
union heads tried to induce the men to return.
In the negotiations that followed these same
leaders refused to permit the representatives of
the outlaw organization to participate in the
ferences, acting on the theory that they had for
feited their rights in the union.
After weeks of idleness the deluded follow
of these leaders began to see their folly. Now
they are returning to work. Some of them have
lost their valuable seniority rights, and others
will not be taken back. All of them have lost
wages that will total into the thousands.
It was a hard lesson for them to learn, but
the experience may teach them the wisdom of
trusting their leaders and abiding by the judg-
ment of men who have the real cause of labor at
heart.

"How's that, old fellow"
"Why, as I was walking down
the center of the road a man on one
side shot at woman on the other.
The bullet went through my arm
and hit the woman. And as l was
arrested, because it was through
me the woman got shot"
Blank had had a day off and
when he returned to the Office the
following morning his pals wanted to
know why he looked so disgruntled
Everything went wrong" Blank

quiring more time and cunning than
the job deserves.
The new exterminator is liquid
which you blow from bottle through
little tin blowpipe. Two or three
puffs of it in a room will not only kill
all the mosquitoes but will also exter-
inmate the family cat and will peel all
the wallpaper off the walls. If you
blow one puff of it out Of the window
it will paralyze every mosquito within
one mile of your house. The other
day We were fooling with the thing
on the front porch and, in a playful
mood, pointed it at Ford car which
was passing. The poor insect gasped,
turned over on it's back, gave a few
spasmodic shivers and passed away.
That is an old story, of course, but
everybody else who ever tried it on a
Ford used insect powder. Our story
has added charm of being absolutely
true.
CROAkERS.
The bullfrog sits upon the bank
And croaks and croaks and croaks;
Then in the water boldly dives
And croaks as we'll as soaks.
How different we are from the frog
That croaks the croaker's call;
We croak our little croak just once,
And when we "croak"-that's all.

FARMERS OF RUSH
ENTERTAIN 10000
AT A Big PICNIC

RUSHVILLE, Ind, Sept. 18-The
farmers of Rush county and their
wives entertained the business men,
their families and friends, of the coun-
ty. at a fried chicken dinner In the
city parks Friday. Twelve thousand
people were Toasted at the outdoor
picnic. The crowd was fed in an hour
and a half Each of the ~ townships
in the county had booths in which
fried chicken and the rest of the eat
ables were piled highly. The throngs
passed along the counters. Business
in the county was suspended for the
day.
More than 1000 chickens were used
to serve tho people. Last March the
business men of the county invited the
farmers to Rushville, where LOO free
dinners were served, and the Rush
County Farmers association repaid
the business men today.
John NJ. Dyer Speaks.
The city park was thronged to its
capacity and $500 automobiles were
counted in the parking space. John
N. Dyer a farmer and eX-Rotary gov
ernor. was the principal speaker at
the coliseum this afternoon.
Mr.. Dyer pleaded for a perfect or
gan1Zat1On among the FARMERS, decidr-
ing that the security of the nation de-
ponds upon agriculture, and that the
so-called Board of Trade in Chicago,
which regulates the prices on grain,
was nothing more than common
gamblers"
Labor and capital are both organ
ized," Mr. Dyer said, land yet the big
gest industry on earth, that of agricul'
ture, is not on an equal basis with
them. Too long already have you
been the easy mark and it is time
to awake, grid on your armor and join
in with the farmers in establishing a
perfect organization, not only in Indi,
ana, but the entire country"
He compared labor, capital and ag-
riculture as being like a tripod upon
which the earth stands, and all inter
dependent upon each other. Mr.. Dyer
