EXPERT SAYS BOYS ARE
BEST IMMIGRANTS
United Press.

united Press.
WINNIPEG, Man, July 8.-Boys
make the best immigrants, according
to T. e. Sedgwick Of London, who is
in Canada to find farm homes for
boys from English cities.
Sedgwick has ben engaged in find
ing farm homes Tor English city boys
in the colonies of the British Empire
since 1909. AS the result of a per-
sonal visit to New Zealand, so farm
ers. there agreed to take English boys
to bring up on their farms. The boys
were apprenticed to the farmers for
three years. Their pay for the three
years was dposited in bank and at
tn end of thei apprenticeship was
turned over to them with the expense
of their voyage deducted. The ages
Of the boys ranged from 16 to 20
years. The success of this experiment
led to the establishment Of several
thousand English boys on farm homes
in Australia. Three thousand boys
were placed in Victoria, 1900 in New
South Wales, 800 in South Australia,
and several hundred In Queensland.
"oBys," said Sedgwick, "are splen-
did advertisements. Their letters
home exploit the attractions of their
adopted country in glowing terms.
They are more adaptable than adults.
They absorb the traditions and Gus
toms of a new country. They usually
marry a woman Of the country and
often they bring out their parents and
relatives to settle in the same neigh
borhood."
Sedgwick will endeavor to find
homes for several hundred English
boys among the farmers in the coun-
try of diversified agriculture in Can
ada.

also believed that if SHUTS re-

LONDON, July THE fate of
peace in Ireland apparently hinges
upon the result of tomorrow's con-
ference in Dublin.
Eamonn de Valera, president Of
the Irish republic" will then re-
sumo his conversations with repre-
sentatives Of the unionists.
Jan SHUTS, premier Of South
Africa, is expected to attend the
meeting and make known the results
of his conference with the members
of the British government yesterday,
following his flying trip to Dublin.
Should the proposals he is expected
to convey meet with the approval of
de Valera and the unionists, it was
believed the proposed London con-
ference, which is the main objective
OF all the present diplomacy, will be
held at once. This would bring to-
gether the two Irish factions and the
British government, with SHUTS still
occupying the role of intermediary.
of an official truce was still
today, but there was said to
be likelihood of cessation of raids
and outrages on both sides without
any formal agreement. And once
the guerilla warfare ceased, it was
pointed out, either side would hest
tate before assuming the RESPONSE
bility of resuming it.
The British government was un-
derstood to be planning now to re-
organize the home rule act and make
1t more workable. The government,
however, is insisting on two main
conditions-that Ireland shall re-
main within the empire, and that
there shall be no coercion of Ulster.

perhaps, has there been a more ur'
gent demand for food. Hungry mil
lions must have it or they will perish;
yet American farmers are preparing
10 burn food because il is cheaper
than coal. Corn in vast quantities will
go into the furnaces and the CRATES
in Iowa and other middle west states
because il is worth less than 80 cents
a bushel. when coal costs S14 a ton.
II is a deplorable condition that food
should be destroyed when so many
lives depend upon it. The farmer
cannot be blamed if he burns corn
and saves money by doing il. He can.
not afford to become generous to the
extent that he contribute the food at
a loss, especially in face Of the fact
that he has not been fairly treated in

is willing to live and TO let

that guarantees of justice for him will

THE FARMERS CASE

Sioux City Journal-In this unpleas-
ant time of reconstruction, the farmer
makes complaint and shows full cause

fashion that it is impossible for OBJ

selves as moral jurors, to fail in de,

preponderance of evidence is over.

who tills and tolls. None knows it
better than he does, for he has studied
the situation carefully and has seen it
clearly. 1t were time for the rest Of
the people to manifest an interest in
the case and to use what influence
they may command for a speedy i'm
proyement.
The facts are these: The farmer
has taken a heavier loss than any
other class of ndustrialists Prices
for his products, during the time of in.
~fiation, did not 90 so high as the ma.
jority went; they descended more
rapidly and to a lower level than any
others and are at the very bottom at
this time. He may be getting more
than 100 per cent, taking 1913 as a
basis, for what he brings out of the
ground, but other producers Of com.
modities make heavier profits, and
the farmer who receives the least pro.
portionate return on his labor and his
investment, cannot buy at a lower

manufactured articles because Of dis.
tance. He either must pay a heavier
freight rates or transport the goods
himself from the end of the t%ranspor
tation delivery. That Is not fair nor
reasonable. If the farmer is to get
less for his product than other pro.
ducers. he ought to be able to buy
more cheaply. Markets do not recog.

impossible to have a scale of prices
favoring the farmer. Business Is not

mand that all goods be sold at a high
err figure than obtained before the
war;: but there is no justice in one
product selling at ESQ per cent of the
1913 price while another goes at lie
per cent. An extraordinary case, it is
admitted, might make ever the con.
dition %justiiable. II the cost of pro-
duction Of the high priced article had
increased at the same ratio as its sell

THE ~BROOklNGS ROTARY

VoIga Tribune-An organization that
has been brought to the attention Of
the editor of the Tribune quite forci-
bly, the past few months has been the
Brookings Rotary Club. The club diff
fers considerably from the regular ON
mercial club. While its aim is to pro-
mote commercial and civic interests,
its plan or scheme of work differs. For
many members as it possibly an. The
Rotary takes only one member from
each occupation. Only one banker, one
grocer, II druggist, etc, from a town
a join. This keeps up the interest
for if a man is lax about his attend
ance, he may be dropped and his com
a member. The Rotary meets once a
week. At Bookings, Tuesday noon is
the meeting time and a dinner is al
ways served. AT each meeting a GER
tain member is called upon TO give a
Commute talk on his line of business.
For instance, a week ago last Tuesday
Mr.. Bartling, of the Sellers & Bart
ling furniture store, gave a Commute
talk on the furniture business. Every
man is addressed by his first anne
no formality is allowed. A man is
fined ten cents every time he calls
Smith Mr." Smith instead of Just
John The members of the Rotary
really become acquainted with each
other. They learn what the other fel-
low is up against and the problems
that are confronting him. They learn
a lot of inside stuff about the other
fellows business that they had never
thought of before. The club becomes
a regular brotherhood and you could
not hire a fellow member from miss
ing a Rotary feed on Tuesday. By
this personal touch and rubbing of
elbows with the other fellow, a greater
interest is aroused in civic affairs. You
learn to know the other fellow and
can appreciate his struggle for exist
ence. The Rot~ry Club at Brookings
