FAIR PLAY FOR THE FARMERS WIFE

The first step taken under Pres
ident Harding's administration to
restore normal conditions in the
industrial and commercial world
was to revive farming. BY an
emergency tariff the government
stopped the coming in Of agricul-
tural and other products from
other countries. 1t put machinery
in motion to enable 1t to loan
money to the farming communit-
les at the rate of 100000 a day.
It has recognized how essential
good roads were to the farming in
dustry by making liberal appro-
lriations for the upbuilding of the
roads in every state.
Congress went to the aid of GER
tain sections of the northwest
which had suffered total crop
failure for several years because
Of drought, with a loan enabling
them to buy seed for their crops
this year. Settlers upon govern
ment irrigation and reclamation
projects were unable to make their
payments because Of crop failures
or because of the sudden drop in
prices. The Republican Congress
passed a law giving them more
time to meet their payments with
out loss of their rights to the
property. Other acts have been
passed by the Republican Congress.
which through the general better
ment of conditions have brought
better times.

Horses and Mules
Treatment for Labor

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 31-Powor-
full forces are at work to break down
orga nized labor and deal with it on
the same basis that some persons
deal with their horses and mules"
according to john J.. Lewis, president
of the United Mine Workers of Am
erica, in 4 Labor Day statement is
sued today.
"ThcSe forces regard labor as a
piece of property which they own and
must control" he continued. They
fail to take into consideration the hu-
man element in labor. 1t is their
avowcd purpose to reduce the work.
ing man to such a low level of exist
ance that he will be unable to defend
himself against any form of brutality
and starvation that the employer
might wish to inflict.
"Since Labor Day, 1921. this con-
fiCt has ragged with increasing inten-
sity until it has engulfcd the entire
nation in industrial strife.
But labor still stands, it's columns
unbroken, and it will continue 10
stand to the end of the fight. Organ
lied labor cannot be destroyed. II is
here to stay. Those employers and
those interests that are now working
so hard to wipe it out should learn
the best way to deal with labor is to
be fair and just.
let Us hope that this vicious at
tack may cease SO that there may he
permanent industrial peace in Amer-
ca. Labor stands ready to do its
part in bringing about that happy
condition. Labor expressed the fer
vent hope that the great American
public will take such an interest in
industrial affairs as to make it pos
sible for organized labor and employ
ers to live together in harmonious re-
lationship."

The farm woman is coming into
her own. She has been underpatd
and 'overworked for generations.
On the ordinary farm where there
is no specialization. the farmers
wife generally has supervision OF
the milk, butter, eggs, fruits ana
vegetables. Poor facilities for
marketing have hindered her at
every turn.
! Every woman in America must
approve of the law passed under
the Republican ADMINISTRATION CIV
ing the farmers the right to enter
into cooperative marketing organ
izations. When the farmers wife
has plenty Of fruit. the chances are
her neighbors have plenty Cf fruit.
Under the new law this fruit may
be marketed together. This law
will mean better food for the
housewife in city apartment as
well as a fair price to the woman
on the farm.
Many city dwellers do not real
ize that two-fifths OF the buying
power lies in the farms. They
are apt to think of farmers as be-
ing but producers and as being
able to produce under any con-
ditions. The farmers are the larg-
est buyers of leather and textile
goods. They are the largest buy
ers of automobiles and other motor
vehicles. They are the largest
shippers of freight. When the
farms suffer all other industries
must suffer.

Home Guards Organize

Topeka, Aug. REORGANIZATION of
Topeka Post No. ], Department OF
Kansas, Of the American State
Guards marks the beginning of a
movement to form into local, state
and national units those who served
in the state guards, or citizens home
guards during the World War In
Kansas, this volunteer organization
grew to maximum enrolment of
nearly 10000 men, but it was disor-
ganized soon after the close of the
war when the Kansas National Guard
was reorganized.
Those promoting organization of
the association state in their adopted
constitution, that they regret the lack
of proper recognition "for this neg
lected branch of the military service
during the World War" They point
out that most of the states had home
guard units during the war, and that
the Kansas department will urge
members of the home guards in other
states to organize.

Would Close Capital
Labor Breach
auEe5- s

Chicago, August 31-To close
forever 1.-The widening breach between
capital and labor" is the main pur-
pose of the Society of American Com
monweaith which recently received
its charter as corporation under the
laws of Illinois for the purpose of
formulating an organization through
out the United States.
Our work is such that we cannot
admit to our membership those who
belong to labor unions or those
known as the capitalistic class en-
ploying labor" states a booklet is
sued by the society, in which its prin-
ciples are outlined. I'VE do this that
we may be able freely and boldly to
hold the scales between them"
Men and women of American citi-
Zenship and eighteen years or more
in age are eligible to membership.
The society is not incorporated for
profit.
This society is an outgrowth of
the numerous strikes that have be-
set this country and which we believe
are fraught with grave peril 20 the
iieltiOii, oiio 4httl III v.
founder and Supreme Commoner
The object is to awaken the great
masses to dangers we are FACING be-
cause of Wasteful, useless, havoc
making strikes such as the coal
strike, rail strike, the recent car strike
in Chicago and many. other forms Of
industrial warfare throughout the
country.
Through all these ordeals the pub
lie, bearing the brunt of the burden,
has gone on watchfully waiting with
saint-like patience. This is not a
call to arms nor the views of alarm
lists. We believe it is high time that
the public so organize that it's senti-
ments may crystalline into stern and
powerful voice that will become so
effective that these useless industrial
conflicts may be doomed"
The incorporators of the society
are: Marvin V. Hinshaw, Erma c.
Beall and Ninian WEIGH. The board
of directors include DR.. Mortimer
IImrick, Ninan WEIGH, J. Il. Adams,

to the value of about s25 had been
taken.
Sheriff Moores was at one notified
and he, assisted by deputies Tuscan
Of Scion, Croker of Canaan, and
Cook of Athens made an investiga-
ton, which satisfied them that a
gang OF thieves known to be working
in Central Maine were responsible for
both breaks, and that the same gang
attempted a break at Hartland the
same night, but were frightened
away. The mode of operation in all
three cases was alike. The name Of
one of the gang is already known to
the officers who are looking out for
