FARMERS TO GET
TOGETHER
In Effort to Stem Further
Artificial Price
DefiatiOn

Wash;ngton.-A call for mass
meeting of farmers to be held in this
city or April 20 has been issued by
the National Farmers Union, through
Charles s. Barrett, president. The
invitation says, in part:
"A new administration is about to
assume command at Washington. 1t
takes control il time Of great ma
tional stress, when deHation, large
" artificial, has accomplished the
temporary ruin Of thousands Of our
farmers and the permanent ruin Of
thousands of others. Every interest
seeking to control the food. the
clothing, the transportation systems
end the distribution of the nations
commodities, is ably represented and
well entrenched here. No interest OF
any magnitude has failed to make
itself felt in Washington and none
has failed to take advantage Of any
situation which may be construed in
its favor"
The list of lobbyists include the
chamber Of commerce cf the United
States, packers, coal owners, rail
roads, ship builders, lumber men, the
fertilizer trust "and every other In
terest which might profit by govern
mental action or inaction are here
to see that they are not disturbed in
their proft-making career"

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
WITH THE OLD MEN? +?

BY Berton Braley
What have YOU done with the old men
You've broken by toll and time.
Once they We're brave and bold men.
Now they are past their prime.
Now they're aged and useless,
Now that their race is run.
Now that they're weak and nerveleas,
IGl us-what have you done?
Have you made their hard lives
rougher
By turning them cut, in truth,
TO shiver and starve and suffer
In the world THAI was meant fer
youth
Now that they canno. aid you
Nor earn their toilcr's wage,
For all that their work has paid you
How have you dealt with age?
Once they were young and gay n.n.
o.liG to make WI wealth;
N2w ey are bent and grey men,
b.aIer in strength and health
Have yot fostered these ono time bold
men,
Or starved them as some men do?
AS you have dealt With the aid men
May Destiny deal win you

CUNNING COSSACK
BILL
introduced in Cant Strike
State

Topeka, Kan.-Friends of the cos
sack SYSTEM have changed front by
introducing a cunning plan to estab-
lish this strikebreaking machine in
Kansas.
The original cossack bill has been
discarded because of opposition to the
huge appropriation it carried. The
new plan is 10 create a department
Of pubic safety under the direction
of the adjuant general, who would
have power to appoint an assistant
adjutant general. The latter shall
appoint number of deputies, who
must have the qualifications Of sol
diers and devote all their time to this
work.
Members Of this band may make
arrests without warrant and the di-
rector shall have the power to "com-
mand and direct the services Of all
sheriffs of the state of Kansas, their
under sherilfs and deputies, all con-
stables, police officers of all cities, and
all other peace officers in the enforce
ment of any and all laws within their
respective jurisdictions.
In an effort to prevent organized
labor from opposing the bill, it pro-
vides that in case of an industrial
strike in any community they (the
eossack4) shall net enter upon duty
therein except by order of the gov
ernor or upon request Of the sheriff
Of the county approved by the gov
arnor'

All the major league teams were on

the Pirates, the Giants were defeated.
This beginning is quite different from
that which was made by New York
