get on their guard and run for shelter
into the arms of Big Capital That is,
the normal political state Of mind Of
LaFolletteism is one of vacillation be-
tween the demands of Big Capital and
the demands of the workers, always
deciding in favor of the former when
ever fundamental capitalist interests
are at stake.
Incline Towards Labor
At present, because of the general
decline of capitalist economy and the
downward trend of affairs in the I'm
tied States, the middle classes find
their interests greatly encroached up
on by Big Capital. Hence, the dis
satisfaction of the small capitalist
with present conditions. Hence, his
determination to build a political
weapon for himself with which to pro-
tect his property and profits against
the devouring appetites of Big Capt.
tai. Hence, his apparent sympathy"
with the aspirations OF Labor. Hence,
the present rise of the LaFollette
movement.
This is the picture OF LaFolletteism

-The idea becomes
power when it pene-
trates the masses"
Karl Marx.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-10-18

In the last analysis, Communism
versus LaFollettism is the same thing
as working class against capitalist
class. That may not be as yet APP
parent to the American working
masses at this time, but it is true,
nevertheless, and as time goes on this
truth will become the inalienable pro
perty of every loyal member of the
working class.

OBITUARY
HUDSON

The death angel called at the
home of John H. Hudson, FRIDAY
morning, December 5, 1924, when his
wife, Mrs. Viola Riley Hudson. pass
ed into the great beyond. She had
been most patient sufferer for
more than a year, during which
time skilled medical specialists tried
IN vain to alleviate her sufferings.
Mrs. Hudson was the daughter of
Mrs. Sarah D. Riley and the late
John H. Riley, of Snow Hill, Md.
and was married to John H. Hudson
about sixteen years ago. They resid-
ed IN Winfield, suburb of Philadel-
phla, until a year ago when her hus-
band decided that perhaps a change
in climate and scenery might be a
benefit to her health. They moved to
near Georgetown, on the State boule-
ward, where she died. Mrs. Hudson is
by her husband, mother
and four sisters. Funeral services
were conducted at her home, Sunday,
December 9TH at p. m. by Reverend
Mason, assisted at the grave by Rev.
Jones of Snow Hill. The funeral
was largely attended by relatives
and friends from Philadelphia, Bal
-imore and from many sections of
Delaware and Maryland. Interment
was made in the NJ. E. cemetery at
Snow Hill, Md.

operation. At the present time, there
are about 80 different states that are
providing shipping point inspection
on one or more commodities. Some
OF the states make the shipping point
inspection compulsory, while others
simply provide the service on re-
quest, and it is generally believed
that the latter plan is the best one
under general conditions. It was
pointed out that in some cases
where shipping point inspection had
been compulsory, it was not under
stood by large part Of the prOduc-
ers; whereas, if the service was
provided to those who requested it,
they were soon enthusiastic about
the benefits to be gained therefrom,
and in that way their neighbors soon
became acquainted with these bene-
fits, and in a short time, large per-
centage of the growers took adVan-
tage of this service, as they found
that by using this service and grad
ing carefully, they were able to OBJ
tain better price and had fewer
complaints and adjustments than
under the old method, all of which
has been found to be true by the
growers in Delaware who have used
the shipping point inspection service
as provided by the Delaware Bureau
of Markets.
Several of the officials of the
United States Bureau of Agricultur-
al Economics attended this meeting |
and explained the work that the |
Federal Government is doing in it's
various marketing departments. The
of market news by ra-
lilo was discussed, and practically
Ill of the State Marketing officials
stated that they depended on this
service to a great extent in gather
ng their market information, and it
S believed that the Government will
oon increase its service along this
inc.

duced one hundred cars Of honey
each year for market. He also stated
that in some parts Of Wyoming
where land can be obtained from the
Government, a section consisting o.
GAO acres would only support three
COWS. This leaves room for consider
able comparison between the cOndi-
ton of the soil in that section Of the
country and the fertile farms OF
Delaware, where, in most cases, one
acre Of ground per COW is sufficient
for good pasturage. There is no bet
ter soil or climate in the United
States than we have here in Della
ware, where practically all agricul-
tural products, with the exception Of
citrus fruits and tropical fruits, are
produced commercially.
At the meeting of the State Mar
keting officials, there were about 80
states represented, and many mar
keting problems were discussed
from various angles, each represen-
tative having an opportunity to
state his experience and opinion re-
garding the different questions.
Mr.. COverdale, who is Secretary
and Treasurer of the United Grain
Marketing Co., a cooperative Or
ganization, for the purpose of mark
citing grain, delivered an interesting
address regarding the purpose and
growth of that organization. This or
ganization is the largest co-opera-
tive grain marketing association in
the world, and their method of Oper-
ating was very interesting to those
present. While they have only been
in operation about year, they have
taken over the warehouses of the
Armour Grain Co. and two other
large grain companies in Chicago,
and are marketing a considerable |
portion of the grain produced in the |
United States at this time. Mr.. Gov
erdale stated that about 20 per cent |
of the grain exported from the Unit
ed States this year, was handled |
through their organization.
Various marketing questions were
discussed at these meetings; how
ever, two of the principal subjects
were cooperative marketing and the
standardization Of grades and pack
ages, both Of which subjects are very
interesting from the standpoint of
Delaware farmers. 1t was the gener-
al opinion that cooperative market
ing is increasing among the produc-
ers throughout the United States,
and that a cooperative organization,
when founded on sound business
can be of great service
to the growers whom it represents.
The shipping point inspection work, !
as done jointly by the Government :
and the various states, has proven to t
be of great benefit to the growers s
the country, and this I
work has made rapid growth during E
he short time that it has been in i

Two years ago this month, dear son
We saw you laid away at rest
God thought it best to take you home
He saw you needed rest
Sleep on dear brother and take your
rest
He saw your suffering here was great
And He opened wide to you His heav-
enly gate.
Yes, dear brother, you are gone
And you are sadly missed.
But you did not die to live in pain
You only died to live again.
We will not mourn for you, the one we
loved,
