Barneveld Holstein Club
Banquet.

Over hundred young and old all
coming from farms where the Black
and white is the favorite cow came in
spite of the cold weather to take part
in the 1sbooster" banquet. Three
times before they had made plans
for this affair but each time the Wea-
ther prevented it. A. o. Colaintlne,
Madison, the principal speaker EN-
phasized the Importance of or
ganization and outlined his work
with reference to assisting out
of state buyers in locat-
ing cattle. He stated that buyers
from western and southern states
make daily and weekly calls at the
College inquiring where in this state
certain grades of dairy and beef cat
tie can be purchased. Later in the
day a business meeting was held, a
commm1ttee was appointed to 1nves-
tigate the possibilities of showing a
club herd at the Mineral Point Fair.
The subject of County Agent in Iowa
county was discussed at large, and a
committee was appointed to assist
the general county committee in the
raising of funds to bridge the gap if
that is necessary. We are told that
membership of the Barneveld Club
now numbers about forty and that
they have listed with their Secretary
Mr.. Aavang, some six or seven car
loads of grade cattle for sale.

WHAT MAKES A TOWN?

The following written by John
Dooley for The Fennimore Times
should -be read by every person who
wants their home town to grow and
prosper:
"Well, what is it that makes a
town, anyway? Just one thing-the
unity of the people, the existence of "a
common bond which causes business
and social enemies to put aside all
differences when it comes TO boosting
a town. No town ever made progress
on the road to substantial success
without the get-to-gether spirit unan
imously adopted. 1t has rejuvinated
old hulks Of towns that were yawn-
ing their way into endless sleep. It
has infused new life and made thirty
ing cities out of paraiytic villages.
Natural advantages count for much
and prosperity cannot be builded up
on shifting sand. but any town with
half a chance can be made to grow
and thrive when its citizens discard
the selfish ST" spirit and join with
one accord in the boosting program" !"

SHAM DEMOCRACY

These plantation owners are al

freedom, but the democracy they pro
fess is not evident in the Campbell

sioner of the United States to reside

NOTED AS TROUBLE MAKERS
According to Historian, the Moplahs
Had Evil Reputation as Far
Back as 1913

Duarte Barbosas Account of the
Countries Bordering on the Indian
Ocean and Their Inhabitants" writ
ten about 1913, contains lengthy de
scription of the Mapuleres or Mop
lahs, who even then were troubling
the peace much as they now are.
'In this land of Malabar," writes
Duarte Barbosa, there are Moors in
great numbers who speak the same
tongue as the heathens of the land,
and go naked like the Nayres, but as
a token of distinction from the heath
en- they wear little round caps on their
heads and long boards; and they are
so many and SO rooted IN the soil
throughout Malabar that 1t seems to
me they are fifth part of its people
spread over all It's kingdoms and prov
inces. They are rich and live we'll
They hold all the sea trade and navi-
cation. They belong to the sect
of Mafamede; their holy day Is Fri
day. They marry as many wives as
they can support, and keep, as well,
many heather concubines of low
caste. If they have sons or daughters
by these they make them Moors, and
ofttimes the mother as well, and thus
this evil generation continues to In
crease in Malabar; he people Of the
country call them Mapuleres"

BY FOSTER AND HIS TRADE UNION
EDUCATIONAL" LEAGUE WANT TO LEAD
UNIONS OUT OF DARKNESS
Especially Endowed, Have GraciOusly Volunteered To
Direct Wage Farmers who Do Not Understand
The Labor Movement"

Chicago. - The American trade
union movement has no idealism, so
cial vision or soul, according to the
newly formed trade union educational
league, w T. Foster, secretary treas
urer
For more than 30 years the Ameri-
can trade union movement has COM
batted duallists, secessionists and dis
rupters. The league acknowledges
that all these have failed, and duallists
and secessionists are called upon to
abandon their side shows and get in
the trade union organizations which
can then be given revolutionary pur-
poses.
The league is decribed as 'an in
formal grouping of the progressive
and revolutionary clements through
out the entire trade union movement" ,"
There will be no dues, no charters
and no per capita tax Revenue will
be secured through contributions and
the sale of literature.
"Militants" of all trades will be
formed to carry on the work of edu-
cation and reorganization in their re-
spective localities" These groups will
be divided according to industry and
will be linked up with the trade union
educational league.
The leagues organ, the Labor Her
aid, revamps the old libel that the
trade union movement breaches the
identity of capital (meaning capital
ists) and labor" Says this publica-
ton:
Instead of advocating the prevail
ing shameful and demoralizing non
sense about harmonizing the interests
of capital and labor, it (the leaguel

ANTS ARE WEEPING

Bakersfield, Cal.-Business men are
weeping over losses charged to the
recent oil workers strike, which they
declare was "unwarranted"
The strike was caused by oil own
ers refusing the governments request
to renew an agreement with the work
ers which had preserved industrial
peace for four years.
The oil owners wanted to operate
on the strictly anti-union basis-with
no form of collective bargaining
They labeled this the American plan"
~and as usual the business men sup
ported the oil owners, most of whom
are absentee owners.
With patronage down to zero be-
cause of reduced purchasing power,
these business men are now trying
to find some one or some thing that
will serve as an alibi for their short
sightedness.
