CONSIDER YOUR
MUTUAL WELFARE

City workers should be interested in
having farmers get prices that will en-
able them to buy manufactured goods.
Farmers should be interested in having
workers wages high enough so they
can spend freely for all kinds of food.
That is broad general statement
Of the common interest between farm
ers and wage workers. Il is frequent
ly stated that farmers want low wages
and high food prices. while labor wants
high wages and low food costs, so that
the interests of the two are absolutely
opposed. Now, as it is economically
impossible for either side to get their
alleged ideal situation, the end 10 be
striven for is the one stated in the first
paragraph. High wages and cheap
food, or high food and low wages are
as impossible as getting water to run
up hill.
A profitable price to farmers and a
comfortable living wage for workers is.
we believe. a possibility under the COM
ing cooperative system that is in the
slow process of formation. IF. S. & H.

ment?-D. +.
A. In 1889 Congress gave $1,000
to the Patent Office for the purpose
of procuring and distributing seeds
of rare and improved varieties"
and for gathering agricultural sta
t~istics. This was the beginning OIL

present year was $3.50, 900.

fell 40 days. another 40 days elapsed
before Noah opened the window OF
the ark, 40 days was the period of
embalming, Jonah gave Nineveh 40
days to repent, the Lord tasted 40

STRANGE THINGS

As you read this, strange things are happening in the ami
NAL world.
The Lycosa spider comes out of her nest and lies all
day in the sunlight, patiently holding the silk cocoon that con-
knows that the sun helps the Matching, saves her weary hours
of sitting ON her eggs, like a hen, warming them with bodil!
heat.
Another queer thing is in Australia, where the :inet
lizard is patiently and painfully trying TO become a biped.
He is built like all other lizards, with four legs. But some
thing has put into his tiny brain an ambition to walk on his
hindlegs. He goes a few steps, falls down, then tries 1t again
time after time.
Eventually Mr.. Frilled Lizard will succeed. Then his fore
legs will grow longer, turn into hands and arms.
= Scientists say that man learned to walk ON his hind legs
the same way, far back in the mists of the past.
Mr.. Frilled Lizard will envy the humanlike penguins OF
antarctic regions. They walk on substantial legts and have
turned their wings into hippers, for swimming.
Another strange thing, in the woods. Beavers are build.
ing their dams. They gnaw at trees, some with trunks a foot
thick. All the way through? No. Mr.. Beaver knows that
the next gale will finish the work Tor him. What tells him
Does he figure it out?
When the beaver house is finished, its entrance will be un-
der water, SO that animal enemies cannot follow. Wine lie
family sleeps, a guard beaver will sleep with his tail Ill the
water, so that if the dam breaks he will know as soon as the
water starts going down. Then he'll waken the family, for
repairs.
Not far from the Canadian beaver, the ice has gone out on
the lakes. Salmon trout are swimming on the surface. They
are picking their mates. Soon they separate, go into deep
water. Next fall the mates will meet again and spawn. How
do they always find the ones they re engaged tot Science
knows they do.
The strange mysteries and the most fascinating oddities
in the world are the pecularities of animal lie.
Call it instinct if you will, but every living thing seems
to have some form of intelligence, planted in 1T by the SUI
preme Intelligence that is back OF all.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-Fear is
a potent factor in fomenting con-
t~roversies between employer and en-
ployed. Experts on Industrial rela-
tons are going in for psycho-anaiy-
sis at least to the extent of agreeing
on this. Indeed. some of them are
ready to state it more vigorously
and say that fear breeds Labor trou-
bles.
1t is recognized that fear is one
of the great springs of human action,
and history shows that intimidation
which superinduces fear has always
been the favorite weapon of autoc-
racy. That autocracy may be car
ism or bolshevism in Russia, or a
~self-centered and unenlightened in
dustrial policy, either of capital OF
labor, in America.
| Thus, to illustrate in a general
way, the open shop movement
among a considerable element of in
fuential employers has instilled in
the minds OF workers throughout
the country a fear that the strength
of their unions is to be broken down
or destroyed. They believe with al.
the fervor of fanaticism that their
economic w~ell-being depends upon
the maintenance of their unions. In
me open shop drive they see a pur-
pose to take away from them all the
benefits and advantages they have
gained through trades-unionism.
They visualize a return TO low wages
and long hours and undesirable
conditions of labor. They believe
that the worker has been exploited
by capital yer since the days Of the
sons of Mary and the sons of Martha
and in their minds only eternal vigil
lance and constant struggle can
guarantee them industrial and eco
nomic freedom.
On the other hand, many we'll
informed and well-meaning employ
ers see a menac to established in
situations and property rights in the
labor movement. Radicals and raoi-
calism within the ranks of labor,
which are arraigned and denounced
even by labor leaders such as Sam
uel Gompers. arouses a fear that
chills the hearts of these employ
ers. B~olshevism, to them, is a spec
tire that will not down. In the spread
of trades-unionism they read a plan
of the workers to dominate all in
dustry and conduct it for the bene-
fit of the workers alone. Confsca-
ton Of capital is the real goal OF
extremists in the labor group, &C
cording TO these employers, and
some of them go so far as to say
that "if you scratch any trades-un-
ionist he will bleed radicalism."
No matter which side is right, or
whether each is partly right and
partly wrong, the important fact
from the viewpoint of the industrial
relations expert is that fear turks
in the minds and hearts of every
individual on both sides. When men
are dominated or actuated by fear
