FlyE HUNDRED GIRLS IN
SOUTH DAKOTA BREAD CLUBS

! Five hundred South Dakota girls
will probably be enrolled in bread
clubs this year, according to P. J..
Scarbro, state club leader OF the
State college extension service.
Last year the 274 girls enrolled
in the bread clubs of the state made
an excellent record. In addition to
the baking for their own homes,
they sold products to the value of
$2,S52.95.

movement of The working class, the Amster-
dam international is in relation to the union
movement of the workers. Unable to resurrect
The Second International and make of it an eff
fective power against labor, all attention is
now directed to the unions as means for the
conduct of the policy of amelioration pursued
by the capitalists to defeat the workers as
they press forward to revolutionary ends.
Thus the Labor Union international eX-
pressed in the Amsterdam Bureau becomes
utterly useless as a means of combat and a
powerful bulwark against the revolutionary
masses.
Hence Just as the revolutionary Socialist
parties in the Second international had to
face the issue of shaking themselves free from
the refolmists and ultimately decided on the
formation of Communist international, SO
also have the revolutionary workers organ
izations to face similar issue Some had al
ready faced the issue and were outside the
Amsterdam international before we had ar
rived at the critical stage of current history.
These unions were mostly revolutionary
unions from their inception and the intensi-
fication of the struggle simply strengthens
their determination to stay outside and, at the
same time, gives them an impulse toward the
formation of new International of Labor
Unions With this strong tendency already
manifest and the obvious need of all these
unions being brought together pressing upon

The era of social revolution has brought
its challenge to the labor unions of the world
no less profoundly than to the political par
ties. Expressing as they do the fundamental
movement of the masses they are Immediate
Nv responsive to and reflect every intensified
ftion of the economic struggle Of the workers.
Hence we are witnessing not only millions OF
! workers flocking into the unions as their only
refuge, but also the union launching forth in
to great struggles and more intensive fighting
than has aver characterized their experience.
Their immediate economic issues are bringing
them face to face with great political realities
and forcing the unions to take upon them
selves new activities, change their objectives
and become weapons of revolutionary strug-
gle. Sectional strikes merge into general
strikes and with increasing frequency are
compelled to openly challenge the power of
the state.
Conversely, political issues arising out of
the conflicts of the imperialistic struggle
surge through the unions and make of them
battle ground and rallying, force for the
warning pai ..;cans. Thus are the masses with
in the rnions mpelled toward making the
choice between the refolmists and revolution
lists and thus has begun the vital conflict for
new alignment of the labor unions.
This is as much an international problem
as national one for we find the Amsterdam

ground of refomists the most important

delay in the rallying Of the revolutionary
forces for action in any policy of capturing
the international bureaucracy. The rapdlty
with which the economic struggle OF the
workers is becoming a revolutionary struggle
impells us to make for the rapid mobilization
of the workers under revolutionary leader
ship. The unions of the workers are mass
organizations. The conquest OF the, national
organizations therefore and their severance
from the Amsterdam Bureau, and its dllec'
tion to a new centre Of leadership is an M
mediate source of weakness to retormlsm
and gathering of strength for revolution,
The path pursued by the revolutionary part
les in the formation of the Communist In
telmational is seen to be the path which
must be pursued by the revolutionary organ
lied masses.
The problem therefore becomes clearly the
problem of rallying the revolutionary union
forces outside the Amsterdam Bureau along
with the forces which can be drawn away
from that organization as they become re-
volutionaiy in purpose and outlook. The
unity of the left" union forces against the
right" becomes the slogan of the hour.
Forms of organization are realized as OF less
significance than purpose and objectives, and
conservative preiudces of less immediate
value than revolutionary action,
This was anticipated by the First Congress-

not until the Second Congress of 1920 that
time became ripe for action.

TAKING ADVANTAGE OF

When wheat was $500 per bushel
quite few held for higher price.
When Flax sold for $500 per
bushel great many held on and
finally sold for $50.
Those who held $500 wheat Or
$500 fax are not the only loosers.
The whole community lost because
there is just that much less money
in the community. So the man who
takes advantage OF conditions not
only helps himself but helps his
neighbor also.
A neighborhood goes forward or
backward as it Judges conditions, the
same as an individual judges the
future, past and present conditions.
1t is not only in how or when to sell
but when and what to buy.
/ Those who take advantage OF the
Ford way are looking into the fu-
ture and are taking advantage OF
condition. The Fordson tractor will
be the farm power within very
short while. Please remember that
the Fordson eats only when it works.
the horse eats when it stands still.
The horse stands still one half Of the
time in working seasons and all OF
the time during winter.
Wild oats have done more damage
to the crops in Roperts county this
year than the heat and black rust
put together. The wild cat problem
must be solved. The easy way OF let
ting them grow wild has been tried
with good success although they are
wild they don't fly nor run. In fact
they seem to be rather tame around
here. AS vet no one has ben able to
wish them OF from their field.
The only way to exterminate the
pest is by more blowing, discing and
narrowing and by doing it in the
proper season. We believe that the
Fordson tractor will solve the wild
oats problem because the work must
be done when the weather is too
hot for horses.
