BoLsHEvIsMs FAILURE

The picture of bolshevist Russia,
supplied by Col. Edward V. Ryan, of
the American Red Cross, will be
found highly instructive when exam
med in connection with the promises
held out by the prophets of the Len
inc millennium.
Here is Russia, rich in every ma
tural resource, unwasted by war as
France was wasted, with man power
little diminished and productiveness
in every department of industry that
makes it, almost alone among ma
tons, self sustaining. Here in un-
questioned control of this empire and
its resources, is a government that
told its supporters the release of all
this wealth to common use would
transform Russia into a land where
all would have enough and none more
than enough. That was the bolshe-
visit promise. It was for that Lenine
and Trotzky were put in power, and
all laws, rights and property inter
ests thrown down to give them a
free hand and a clear field.
It is in this bolshevist Russia that
Colonel Ryan found conditions he de-
scribes as perfectly hopeless. Organ

appear to exist. The merest routine

Although there is seemingly uni
versal shortage of labor, present in
dications are to the effect that there
will be less difficulty in getting harv-
est hands in Kansas to handle the
1920 crop, than there was in mobil-
izing the 1919 'harvest army" in
the opinion of Chas R. Weeks, State
Secretary of the Kansas State Farm
Bureau. This will be true, especially
if the wheat in the state natures at
different periods, as conditions now
seem to indicate. Last year the help
problem was complicated by the fact
that three days of hot winds ripened
all the wheat in all sections of the
state at the same time, and groups of
harvest hands could not be moved
from one place to another rapidly
enough.
another helpful sign" says Secre-
tary Weeks, sis the fact that the
Farm Bureau is receiving a great
number OF calls and inquiries from
men in other places, about work dur
ing harvest time in Kansas"
Still another factor will be the eff
cient organization of several groups
to handle the harvest labor problem
for the estate. These groups are or
ganized to far greater purpose than
they were last year.
The Extension Division of the
Kansas State Agricultural College at
Manhattan, through county agricult-
ural agents and state leaders, and the
United States labor bureaus, are or
ganized to secure men and move them
to the places in the state where they
are needed most badly. The State
Farm Bureau will soon have agents
in st. Louis, Denver, and in other
places, to direct men looking for har-
vest jobs to Kansas.
''The maximum wage of seventy
cents an hour which has been set, will
go farther to attract men to the state,
than did the maximum of fifty cents,
which was set in 1919" says Mr..
Weeks. "The bidding of farmers
against each other, which in 1919 ran
up, IN a few extreme cases to dollar
or more an hour, could not make
more men. It will be unnecessary if
Enough men are delivered in the state
IN the first place.
Certain districts are apt to be short
of men for day or so, Mr.. Weeks be-
Ieyes, but if the farm organizations
in those districts get in touch with
government labor offices in Wichita
and Salina, arrangements viii be

STATE FARM BUREAU NOTES


=. The Kansas State Farm Bureau,
nth more than $1,000 farmer mem
berss in the state, is going to play
little brother to the farmer who
has not been getting square deal
from hail insurance companies.
Complaints have been received at
the central offices of the Bureau in
Manhattan, to the effect that some of
the companies are not making reason
able settlements on their policies, or
that they are delaying payment. At
the last monthly meeting of the Ex-
ecutive Committee, it was voted that
the Bureau take up the cause of these
farmers.
The facts in the cases will be in
vestigated, and if it is thought advis-
able, will be laid before the state in
surance commissioner, with the
weight and influence of the entire or
ganization behind them, something
which the average small farmer, even
though he feels that he has not been
fairly treated, cannot successfully do
alone.
Attention will also be given to the
Blue Sky stock sales propositions on
which many farmers have lost money.
The Bureau will investigate these
propositions, when requested, and
will furnish the facts in the case be-
fore their money is invested, and pos
,sibly lost.
! ]. c. Mohler, Secretary of the Kan
esas State Board of Agriculture is to
be in Manhattan and will present to
the Committee a plan which he has
worked out looking toward coopera-
ton of the more than $4,000 mem
bers of the Bureau in Kansas, in
gathering, handlingb and distributing,
a weekly series of crop reports. S. D.
Flora, State Meteorologist, will also
present information relative to the
project.
P. w. Ems, of Newton, Treasurer
of the State organization, is chairman
of committee which will present a
report on marketing conditions. To
assist the farmer in getting his pro-
ducts to the best mraket, is the pur-
pose of this committee.
The committee has been carrying
on special investigation into the car
shortage situation, collecting facts
with relation to the shortage, and de-
Gliding in what manner the Farm Bu-
reau can be of aid.
After the meeting, Monday, the
Secretary will send out the first issue
of a publication which will give a
complete report on what the Farm
Bureau has done in Kansas.
'The Kansas State Farm Bureau is
now organized for business, and that
business is the protection and pro-
motion of agriculture in Kansas"
said Chas R. Weeks, General Secre-
tary, in speaking of the coming meet
ing.
Z At the last monthly meeting of the
Executive Committee there was
pissed a resolution definitely stating
the attitude taken by the State Farm
Bureau towards other farm organiza-
tons.
The resolution reads: ''That the
Kansas State Farm Bureau stands for
helpful cooperation with all the agri-
cultural organizations whose purposes
are for the best agricultural interests
of the people of Kansas"

versal shortage of labor, present in

Two years ago today, the Keokuk
chapter of the Red Cross, as a body,
marched in the big parade with hearts
full of happiness because the war was
over. They had generously given
their time, money and unceasing work
THAT in some small way, they might
help our boys win the war. The
American Red Cross came into being
as the official organization to give aid
and succor to the fighting forces Of
the country in time OF war. The Red
Cross may undertake. ,eace-time work,
( but it is obliged to finish its wartime
job.
The war was over for us two years
ago, but not for the army which hac

for boys who were wounded, gassed
/ and i'll in service and returned to civil
life handicapped The home service
section of the Red Cross has helped
these boys back, by aiding them in
securing government assistance, such
as their compensation, medical care.

money while their claims were pend

sympathetic appreciation and under
standing of what they had done.
The Red Cross is urged not to close
their home service sections while
there are still 1900 boys in Germany
and $4,000 boys in hospitals here.
That makes it's appeal in a general
way But there are still boys in
Keokuk using the Red Cross hcMe
service section-there were ninety
six who received service last month.
Keokuk people need only to be re-
minded OF this and they will give this
service as long as it is needed.
A Keokuk boy, who was discharged,
wounded almost beyond hope OF re-
covery, discouraged and suffering be-
cause his case had been muddled,
finally got what was coming to him.
He returned to Keokuk couple of
months ago to spend his vacation
from the school where he was being
retrained. He was well, strong and
