Thursday, July s. The farmers are
"a busy crowd now. The recent rains
have benefited crops all around and
have made cultivating the chief work.

we must eat, and we must always strive
to have surplus on hand, because our
family is constantly increasing. Com
rades Hoover, Fall. and Ed. Merrill are
erecting new fence where the new
road is being built across the creek.
The saw mill boys are still at work,
tho many Of them have been sidetrack-
led to other jobs. Comrades Nash. Ja-
ques. Reeves and Matz are construct
ing a new bridge across Casio Creek in
order that we may haul out some hick-

is being seasoned for flooring, wagons,

helping put a new shingle roof over
the shoe shop and Roede is wearing a
much broader smile, too, Ii takes some
thing besides three meals day to keep
a fellow working under the adverse
conditions which circumstances force
us to do sometimes. The rains have
given Roede a shower bath in the shoe
shop. but those days have now gone.
Comrade Mcdonald, who BY calling is
an attorney-at-law. is now attorney-at-

Ley and Sid Merrel at the tannery have

old materials. worked i n a dark cellar,
yet they made good. That's the way
TO demonstrate your worth. Now, we
know that, given decent arrangements,
not only our own leather requirements
Ican be met, but commercial leather can
be made. The electric light plant is now
being used each night until 100 o.
clock. All but few Of the houses have
been wired and are using the electric
plant The boys are still working OF
the wiring, having been in the cafeter-
ia to-day. All power used in the small
industries is now supplied by the cleo
trio plant; and, except for the steam
used at the bakery and canning our
vegetables. one steam plant does all the
work. Speaking Of the cannery-say,

and leader" Of the labor group Of two
in the house Of commons, discussed
with The Federated Press representa-
tive his impressions as follows;
What has been accomplished dur
ing our first term at Ottawa? The big
gest thing is that we have broken the
ice. On four previous occasions a La
Dor man has been sent to the house,
but as he stood alone and had little
backing, he was absorbed into one of
the other groups, but for the first time
our tiny labor group Of two has defin-
itely asserted that it was distinct from
all other groups.
I'VE have been able to challenge the
existing ideas and existing institutions.
We have been informed that it has been
a very decided shock to the older men,
bers of the house that even small
group in the house dared to suggest
that there might be other policies. We
have challenged militarism, imperial
ism. the rights Of capital, the perman-
ence Of the present money system. and
many other hitherto sacred fetishes.

THE CRY OF THE CHILDREN

Do you hear the children weeping o my brothers,
Ere the with yearsq
They are leaning their young heads against their
mothers.
And cannot stop their tears.
The young lambs are bIeating in the meadows
The young birds chnpng in the nest
lhe young faWns playing with the shadows
The young flowers are blowing toward the west
But the young children, my brothers,
They weeping bitterly!
They weeping in the playtime Of the Others
In the country ct the free
For oh" say the children we are weary
And we or leap;
II cared for any meadows it were merely
TO drop down in them and Sleep
Our knees tremble soey In the STOPPING
We fall upon faces. trying to go;
And, underneath our heavy eyeids dropping,
The reddest flower would look pale as snow
For, all day we drag our burden tring
through the coa-dark underground
Or. all day, drive the wheels of iron
In the factories round and round
For, all day the wheels are dronng turning;
Their wind comes in faces;
Till our hearts turn, our heads with pulses burning
And the walls turn in their places
Turns the sky in the high 1ndow blank and reeIing
Turns the long light that drops along the ceiling:
All are turning, all the day. and with all
And all day, the iron wheels doning;
And sometimes could pray
Q ye wheels (breaking out in mad moaning),
Ssop be silent for to-dayl
They lcok up. with their pale and sunken faces,
End their look is dread 0 gee
Fer hey rmd you of their angels in high places,
S;h eyes turned on Deity
How long. they say Ghow long. o cruel nation
Will you stand the world on child heart
Sdfe down with mailed heel its palptation,
And tread onward to your throne amid the mart2
Our blood spleshes upward, gold-heaper,
And your purple shows your path;
Bufe4he chld's sob in the silence curses deeper
Than the strong man is his wrath'
