Farm Bureau Not Political.

Whenever an officer or director becomes
candidate for state OF national otnCc he
must Immediately resign his office in the

ton. the state farm bureau declarations
and the various county farm bureaus rep
resent only nominal investment on the
part of any one individual. The entire
upicep of the county farm bureaus and
the state declarations in the American
Farm Bureau Federation, uniformly ap-
portioned, costs the farmer less than one
cent an acre on his land. This includes
federal, state and county appropriations
and membership fees.
"One-half to two-thirdS OF the finances
necessary to support the county agent
movement comes from public funds ap-
propriated to maintain the agricultural
extension work carried on through farm
bureaus, but no public funds 20 to the

The first showing of Farm Bureau films

farmers organization and cooperative
marketing.
The churches of the county have studied
the Farm Bureau movement and find that
It is worthy Of their entire support. Sew
eral ministers have declared that it is moth
ing more or less than practical religion,
putting into actual practice the Golden
Rule. They cite the cooperative mar
keting pools where ncighbors 90 together

'ment which saved hundreds of
thousands Of children in Europe and Asia
from starvation; the sending of city

vacation; and other similar projects fos-
tered by the Farm Bureau.

Campaign is Nationwide.

What is happening here is scheduled to
happen in every other county in the
United States within the next year 1t is
part of the Farm Bureau drive for a mil
lion new members. The Farm Bureau
IS already the biggest organization OF
farmers in the world, but needs a hundred
per cent increase in membership in CIDER
to do its most effective work I'VE shall
never be satisfied until every farmer in
America is given an opportunity to Join
this movement, said J. r. Howard, the
Iowa farmer who is president of the
American Farm Bureau, when he launched
the nationwide drive.
"One farm family out of six wearing the
Farm Bureau emblem is not enough"
declared Secretary John w. Coverdale.
"No less than half OF all the farm people
of America will join the Farm Bureau
when they understand what it will do for
them"
And we expect to give every one Of
them a personal invitation to come in,
replied Charles l.. Gunnels, who is the
Director of Organization for national head
quarters. Farmers who understand this
great movement will be organized to call
on their neighbors and explain every phase
Of Farm Bureau work. Then they will
invite him to sign up and bring with him
the whole famiIy-mother and the chill
dren-into the County Farm Bureau, the
State Farm Bureau, and the American
Farm Bureau-three in one"
Out for a Record.
1t has been suggested that we make a
record for the state while we are at it.
The suggestion has met with the hearty
approval Of the farmers who have talked
it over, the county officials, the town bust
ness men who are interested in seeing the
farmers organized and prosperous, and all
who have pride in seeing this county
lead in everything it undertakes. The
state record will not be made on total
membership, but on the percentage of our
farmers who sign-up in the Farm Bureau
campaign. All right Let's go! as the
gnto-sticker said to the Farm Bureau
poster.

. STATE WEAKNESS.

Much is said whenever federal lsg;sla- ion of 8 certain type is advocated about sationsl legislation encroaching upon nate rights. It .s of course only what 'ught to be expected presuming of iourse that states are living up to and Foperly discharging their responsibil- ties to themselves and the nation.
 State rights, however, are not put in very pleasing light in respect to law Ind order when such atrocities as those committed at Herrin, H., are passed over 10 lightly as they appear to be by the authorities of that state. In the first place there is reason to believe that hey should have been adequate steps iaken 10 prevent them, but failing of hst such willful murder and such out -sgeous conduct in civilized commu- atty deserves more corrective attention than 1t Is getting.
 That affair Is not only a blot upon the lair name of Illinois but upon the en- tire nation. No state government should tolerate such situation. It is inchedu- lous that Illinois should be disposed to regard the matter so lightly and to be taking no more vigorous measures for lhe punishment of the guilty.
 Had such a slaughter taken place ir Eome other state a different view might have been taken of it. When a state in- sicates by the attitude taken that it is prepared to tolerate such violence it presents a sad spectacle, but it is just -such failure to respond to duty or the part of states that encourages tht resort to federal legislation or fedora action in dealing with them.
 The Herrin affair in Illinois is onl, what child labor and lynching are il ssrtain other states. There is no desire for the federal government to act il matters except where there is a laxness on the part Of the state. When a state shows that law and order is under clas control and that outrages without limi -an be committed when directed by tha oiass it is R serious situation, but it i just that very attitude which disclose he weakness In state government tha prompts the seeking of national contro over such matters.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
TRUE HAPPINESS.

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Phil. Ar The worldly idea of happiness is typified in the parable of the rich man whose one desire was to be richer. so that he might say to his. soul, Soul thou hast much goods laid up for many years Take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry"
 Now that might not be such a very bad way to do if there were no future life. and no capacity for any higher in this life. Those who fol- low that plan either try to put the thought of death away from them or believe there is no hereafter. Most peo- pie, do believe in a future life, Jhether CT they want to or. not. and who are madly trying to put the thought of death far away, and when they come to face death they find themselves in the position of the rich man in parable. They have plenty worldly wealth, but no longer any use for it, "and they are not rich toward God" .-
 They have nothing to look forward to with hope. They have reached the end of their resources, none of their wealth can they take with them beyond the grave, they have not laid up the rich es that are imperishable. Common sense should teach us to seek our hap

OBREGON,s TEST

When representations were made to Mexico that it should take the most viz orous steps to effect the release of the kidnapped Americans and punish those who are responsibles for their seizure, t was only such insistence as this gov ,rnment should be expected to make. The kidnapping disclosed the existence N conditions in the republic to the south whose government should be eager to iuamp out and should therefore not re- suire any outside prodding in order that eetter protection might be given to the subjects of other countries.

UNcoNoUERED MT. EVEREST

Reaching the top of the world is a greater task than some had reason to anticipate even after it was found that there was a way in which what had been regarded as insurm ountable difficulties had been overcome. When the new way up Mt. Everest was disclosed there were hopes that the strategic steps for con quering the highest peak known had been taken. Perhaps they had been taken if 1t was simply a matter of climbing that was involved. But the latest endeaEor to reach the summit has demonstrated that something else is in volved. It is necessary to combat the thin air and it is required that frightful weather conditions must be braved by those who essay to get to the top.
 Mountain climbing is always danger- ous even under he best of conditions. Those who go up Mt Everest must real ze at the start that they are undertaking it under the worst of conditions. How bad these are is indicated by the report based upon the experiences of those in- Volved in the latest effort to scale the peak which holds that anyone who goes higher than man has now been must make the attempt with the full realiza- ton that he is liable not to return.
 Only by being at the right place ready to take advantage of fortunate cond:- tions does it seem probable that the to1 will ever be reached. Yet there~was 2 time when similar view was taken re garding the poles but they have beer discovered and Mt. Everest may yet b' conquered In the establishment of tht new records made this year most val uabIe facts have been ascertained fo, the assistance of others who may brav, the conditions to make the conquest T the future. Plainly 1t is not a stun that most people would pick for a yaca l tion.
