LABOR FIGHTS RoLsHEvisM

When organized labor turns against

proclamation os the american FEEDER

try, after investigating the Lenine
system, haye de,,"unced It. The rank
aAd file of labor unonists, alike in
Europe and America, as they learn
the facts regarding this monumental
tyranny, turn 'rom 1t in horror.
The officers II the Federation of
Labor have perforrel II praiseworthy
service, in urging American workmcn
to "let the soviet savages know what
labor OF the civ!l!4el world thinks OF
their hestial system This language
is no stronger than tho demonstrated
facts warrant. II Is well established
that, when once they begin to feel
themselves sufficiently powerful to

II Is tyranny far worse than any
experienced under the czars. and It is
all the more intolerable because 1t Is

PAylNc Fl r EDUCATION

In most institutions of learning in
the past, the cost Of education has
greatly exceeded the tuition charged.
Endowment. and other funds have
made up the deficit. That is not to
be the policy OF Harvard's Graduate
School of Business. which will raise
its tuition mex. year from $3.50 to
$500. This move is explained by the
head of the school as follows:
1--WE have business education on a
cost basis in the belief that 1t should
be regarded as an investment which
will ultimately pay good dividends in
the form Of increased earning power.
A sound business education ought to
be worth paying for at its full value" +"
The school authorities recognize
that many tsudents possess limited
funds when they commence their
training There are liberal arrange.
ments for loans, but every student is
expected to be able to pay up in full
eventually.
The idea upheld. that the business
training Is an investment to the stu
dent that is worth paying for, is good.
All education is an investment, how.
ever and in many instances no exact
financial estimate of its worth can ev.
er be made. Even in the Harvard
business school, It Is admitted that
the tuition will not pay for future de-
velopment of the school, for new
buildings, for research and expert.
mental work, for use OF physical
equipment such as lands, buildings,
athletic grounds. etc. furnished by
the university.
In the end, II appears. education
can only be paid for fully by service
to civilization and to mankind. The
16 years and more, from the element.
ary schools on up through the highly
specialized graduate schools, are real.
ly the nations investment In Its
youth School taxes and tuition pay
only small part OF the cost. The
rest comes back In the various forms

This story has its lessons to farmers
everywhere. There are some 400 ma
tional business mems organizations,
all supported literally, all doing eff
fective work for their membership.
Every big business has had a ma
tional organization except farming.
Food spectators believe in organi-
cation for themselves, but not for
the farmers. They hope you will
quit the Farm Bureau
Our advice to you is to stick to the
Farm Bureau Federation. It is pro-
ceeding steadily and surely. It al
ready has accomplished some fine
results. It will accomplish many,
more If still more farmers get back

from the members of the big ma

The farmer needs national weekly,

his financial journal. THE CoUN-

ment. Its interesting and important
news articles are gathered from all

the situation in such shape that it re.

Japan's reply to the protest against

As to Japanese control OF the for.

Government particularly protested.

laid the cable n claims. admitted the
right Of japan TO control the end

westward, advancing 9.S miles In that
direction and about one-fifth Of a
mile north from Bloomington, Ind.
where 1t was located by the census
Of 1910. The bureau attributed the
