THE HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
OPPORTUNITY.

Will Wv - A't3AoS 0H
running strong and paying high
wages, there is now a noticeable
scarcity of labor, which is being felt
in the farming districts, the high
young men from the farms, The ques-
ton Of farm labor in almost any COM
munity might be solved by the boys
of high school age. The farmers are
willing to pay a fair wage and scores
OF young men might do worse than
to seek a job on the farm after school
closes. When school opens next fall
they would find themselves in the
pink of condition physically, and with
some money in their pockets. They
would find, too, that the work is in
teresting. A knowledge Of agricul-
ture secured at first han is not a
bad thing to have, no matter what
a boys aim in life may be. In adj
dition to this, the boy has not wasted
his summer but has been a real as
set to his community. Also, he will
find himself possessed of more self
respect thar he could possibly have
we're h to waste the summer months.
Local labor problems could frequently
be solved by cooperation between
town and country in this way.

CIRCULATING AMERICANISM OUT.
The facts are we are being regu-
lated out of any semblance of the
good old-fashioned Americanism that
made this country the wonder Of the
world. We begin before birth and do
not let up until the citizen is safely
In the b%oneYard. We prescribe how
he shall be brought into the world
and how he shall be planted. During
the intervals between those dates we
undertake to say how he shall live,
what he shall do and how he shall
do it. We endeavor to regulate his
sports, his religion, his clothes and
his business, what he shall pay his
employees, if any, and how he shall
treat them, and if the farmer has
exhausted his credit at the bank,
establish government institutions to
loan him money. We have not yet
come to the point Of fixing by law
the size of his family, but he gets a
constant string of advice as to that
and how to discipline his children
from the unmarried volunteer regu-
lators not yet upon the payroll but
with hopes.-Camas Post.

MAKE THEM WORK.
Who would suffer most if the
/. W. w. a been successful in de-
moralizing the lumber and mining in
dustry on May 1?
The working men and communities
where the industries are located.
A man who listens to the talk of
an I. w. w. is on a par with the
man who looks down the muzzle of
a loaded gun while fooling with the
trigger.
What can the I. w. w. give the
American workmen but demoralized
government and unemployment?
Why don't the I. w. w. go to Rus
STA? Because the workmen there are
starving to death under the policies
which they advocate here and an
]. w. w. could not fill his stomach
there off the labor of others-he
might have to work and starve.
The I. w. w. ~agitators have just
been turned down hard but they will
not profit by the lesson. They should !
rounded up and sentenced to work.
