itics today, as we'll as in journalism,
who never "hopped clod," whose
hair has never been ruffled by hay
seed, who would not know trace
chain from tape worm. Therein
lies the greatest danger for all farm
ers' organizations. Il has been go
in the past and will be so in the
future Since we of the local press
have been proffered so much advice.
that kindness incumbers us with
the duty to also advise.
Years ago, when tilier of the
soil, we we're also a member of e
farmers organization that, in its
day, had millions of members and
covered the United States of Amer
lea like the immeasurable vastness
of Heavens blue sky, but which per-
ished and whose name now lives
but in memory. We hope and be.
lieve there is better destiny for
the United Farmers of America. The
tions of a similar nature is marked
we'll with warning signposts, as
were the pioneer trails across our
continent, which are now broad
open highways, over which millions
travel in safety. We feel proud OF
the United Farmers of America, not
only because we are in sympathy
with it's work. bat because it IS .
HOME ORIGINATED idea that
should make the name OF our COM
munity famous to all the balance OF
the United States.
In few instances that may not
have come under our observation
there may be cause for some com
plaint for the dereliction of the To-
cal press the United Farmer COM
plains of, but these are undoubtedly
too few to make any fuss" over
The only cause for criticism we see
regarding the lack of publicity
comes from the fact that those con-
nected with the organization neg
lect to avail themselves of the free
use of the columns of the local press,
especially as literally as is always
at their disposal.
The farmer may have many
things to complain of, but, undoubt-
edly, the least of them is the atti-
tude of the local press toward his
interests, and anyone who tries tc
make him think otherwise is very
hard up to find cause to embitter
him against his long-tried, best and
most faithful friend

THE RAILROD PROBLEM.

The present situation is in many
respects legacy from the past. We
should probably have worked out the
railroad problem satisfactorily, but
for the tremendous upheavals caused
by the war. AS things now stand
public opinion should assert itself
and take the firm ground that inter
ruption of traffic and travel by rea'
son OF labor disputes will not be toll
Grated. We have gone so far in the
regulation of railroads that we must
go a little further and regulate the
strike out of existence. Every rea-
sonable man wishes to see railway
labor we'll paid, especially because
the public safety requires that raj.
road men should be of particularly
high character The abolition o.
strikes must OF course bear equally
upon companies and unions. Mer
will be more glad than ever to work
for railroads, if the conditions oi
their employment are well protect
ed without the risks that attend sc
abnormal a proceeding as strike
Workmen of settled habits, wht

CUSTOM, THAT'S ALL

Adam and Eve were garbed in a
single fig leaf each, but that was
custom with them and the demands
OF nodesty were satisfied.
From the days of the fig leaf down
through the centuries to the cum
bersome and trailing skirts each
successive step has been taken
through innovation and sanctioned
by custom.
The trailing skirt was both un-
sanitary and nuisance, and In time
was properly discarded. Custom
popularized the move.
Now we have the very short
skirt and the knickers, and custom
DEGREES that there is no valid objec-
| tion to them.
In former days women rode horse
back on side saddles and contracted
curvature of the spine. Then few
of the more daring ones donned
pants and rode man fashion. The
uproar at first was great, but now it
is custom and is regarded as the
only sensible way to ride.
The tendecy of the age is sim
plicity in dress, discarding every
thing that is not in accord with
comfort and the protection of health
We may never return to the fig
| leaf, but the nearer we approach l.
the greater is our freedom of actio,i
and the longer our span Of life
| Shocks and thrills may signaliZe
some of the stages, but custom will
stop every tongue from wagging.
