The arrests and eight indictments came as the result of the. explosion of bomb here early Wednesday morning and the subsequent killing of two policemen by the escaping gunmen. Yesterday more than 200 labor leaders and others suspected of having a hand in the outrage and other disturbances were arrested. The bomb is supposed to have been ex- ploded because of dissatisfaction among the radical labor element in the enforcement of the Landis award in the building trades dispute.
 Those indicted included Fred Ma der, president of the Building Trades Council; Big Tim" Murphy, of the Gas Workers Union, and Cornelius CCon") Shea, of the Teamsters' Union. All are under arrest.
 Denying writs of habeas corpus for the release of Murphy, labor czar, under conviction as the leader of a $35o,ooo mail robbery; Shea, labor leader who hurriedly left Boston several years ago to conduct the teamsters' strike, and John Lafferty, suspect in the murder of Policemen Lyons and Clark, Chief Justice Scan Ian declared that crime conditions in Chicago were tantamount to war, and that until conditions cleared the writ of habeas corpus would be abridged.
 Flat denial of any knowledge of lawlessness was made by several of those held. Nader, in addition to de- claring his innocence, offered a re- ward of $I,ooo for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of the slayers of the two policemen.
 Attorney General Daugherty will be urged to expedite the trials of la bor and other crooks, many of whom are out under bond and continuing handed robberies.
 Honest labor union men joined with the forces of law and order and gave valuable assistance in ferreting out the criminals in their ranks.
 Police department got three wag- on-loads of evidence in raids on labor union headquarters.
 Rewards totalling $26,ooo were posted for the arrest and conviction of the bombers who murdered two policemen Tuesday night and wound ed others. These rewards are to be increased by other civic bodies.
 Although the courts were swamped
  sons arrested, in every instance where time was asked for further investiga- ton, the prisoners were remanded to the police and writs continued. Nine men were discharged, however, when the police reporetd there was not sufficient evidence to detain them, the others were given opportunity to secure their release on $5,ooo bonds and fl other cases were set for hear ing today.
 Among those discharged was James JConroy, secretary of the Building Trades Council. The case of Elm melt Flood, general organizer for the American Federation of Labor, was set for hearing today.
 Chicago has long been the scene of the Red" and I. w. w activities, in fact the radical element having sue ceeded in establishing themselves there in number and setting up quar- ters and a newspaper of their own which latter they use solely to incite

The good road problem could easily
help the farmer to ride to and from
his field, in time while his chickens
and cattle would be we'll protected
from increased activity of some
speed maniacs who try to compete
with each other in the amount of
damage they impose upon the farmer.
One hundred additional farmers
would add to the average town about
20 square miles of land, consider
ing the holdings of the average farm
er to be about one hundred sixty acres
of land. Thus the farthest distance
for the farmer to travel from his house
to the field would be not more than
five miles With modern roads such
a distance could be easily traversed
by auto within fifteen minutes Time
enough for the average farmer 10
accomplish his work without hurry
and giving his wife and children an
opportunity to enjoy the advantages
of the farm and town combined.

They often use the automobiles of
the various departments and the

industry, commerce, craftsmanship
and most of the learned profession
is being kept up with the increased
demands for such super men.
It's thanks to these Mothers" that
our nation leads in the percent of
human beings, superior in brain, SUI
perior in physical endurance, in per-
feet beauty and the charm of it's
women folk; also intellect and the
higher standards of our children at
large.
This may be the reason why the
farmer is one of the leading support
ers of our better church
our moral improvement campaign and
the real cause of many a legislative
measure to brighten our task of living
and improve our conditions.
"Ma-Farmers.'
Under the leadership of "Ma- Farm
er" our rural population soon became
the leading user of telephones, motor
cars, labor-saving devices and of the
better class publications. Improved
transportation facilities, better mar
keting systems and easier ways to
purchase farm supplies does not sat
isfy the modern farmer.
AS soon as they have a chance Mr..
and Mrs. Farmer prefer to settle
among their friends. Unfortunately
present conditions of farming do not
permit the agriculturist to live among
his friends without sacrificing his
farm for the benefit of social improve
ment. Many time when the farmer
has to decide between the isolated
farm and the opportunities offered fol
the success of their children in larger
communities the farm mostly gets the
worst of it. The homestead of the
family goes to the first renter
while future leaders of the nation
| needing the leadership of "Ma
Farmer" settles in the city and thu
deprives the farm from most use
full element.
1t seems to me that community
would solve this problem most sue
cessfully. The towns people need tn
farmer as much as the big city, tn
manufacturer.
1t is the farmer that keeps up tn
stores, the offices, theater, banks an,
business of the smaller towns on
paying basis. It's thanks to tn
farmer that the small towns-peopl
are enabled to keep up their dutie
toward the church, the school an
other institutions. It's the farme
that supplies work to the superfuou
hands of the town. It's the farme
that keeps our small communitie
free from the evil of crooked polite
dishonest public finances and interns

FOSTERING
CLOSER RELA-
TIONSBETWEEN
FARM AND TOWN
Community Centers and Good Schools
BY SAMUEL H. HOURVITCH.

Editors Note-Samuel Fl. Hour
witch, a world traveller, lecturer and
writer, has explored practically every
section of the civilized world. AS an
expert on farm problems, the follow
ing article will be read with interest.
When our forefathers the Pioneer
Farmers penetrated into the Western
parts of our great country their main
object in life was to acquire as much
land as they could put claim on.
The object of these farm-pioneers
was to get away from outside influence
and remain the builders of their own
destiny. Present conditions have
fully justified the vision of these up
builders of our great West. By
managing their own affairs without
interruption from foreign influence
these farm-pioneers were able not
only to revolutionize farming at large,
but also to build up a superior class
of manhood and womanhood.
Times have changed and with them
the economical conditions as well. 1t
is not enough for the farmer to breed
live stock that hold the world record
in the production Of milk, pork and on
the racing tracks The modern
American Farmer does not feel
satisfied with his ability to produce
better farm produce at price that
| enables the American exporter to
compete successfully with the prod
uets of many a distant country in
| their own land.
1t is a we'll known fact that it is
the farmer that won the Worlds wal
for democracy. It is also the Amer
| lean Farmer that saved starving
humanity from hunger after the war.
Having thus ascertaineG his eco
nomical and class position, the farme
came to the conclusion that by keep
ing aloft from other humanity he i
not only missing many an advantag
offered to the average citizen of tn
community at large of many an i'm
portant factor that helps make on
country the best place to live in.
While our men farmers have dis
tinguished themselves in producing
better crops and farm produce, on
lady-farmers in the meantime hav
accomplished more than any othe
class of people on the field in whic
ithey are best fitted by nature, inclins
ton and personal superiority.
Thanks to our lady-farmers, OF

Pope Plus XI is sick and under the
care of physicians according to re-
cent dispatches from Rome. When a
Cardinal he was known as a robust
mountain climber, but voluntary seclu-
sion in the Vatican's golden prison has
resulted in surprising decline in the
past few months. This is believed to
be due to the change from accustomed
open air and exercise to a quiet, Sc
dentry life. This exclusive photo was
taken on his 65th birthday which he
celebrated recently.
