CHILDREN IN AGRICULTURE

MANY of Americas finest citizens were born ana
reared farms, and many of them cheerfuhy creolG
to their early training much of their later polse ana
success So too, a regular farm has long been Amer
icas ideal of the right place for growing chlidren'
where they can find health and fun and discipline
mingled in right proportions with abundant sunshine
fresh air and freedom.
The present agitation against child labor in agrl-
culture does the ideal conditions suggest
ed by the above facts is it rendered foolish by
hen for child labor in agriculture is something quite
different from being farmer boy or girl Says the
Boston Herald
Imagine wooden shanty long from pitch
er's box to home plate-60 feet-and as wide as an
athlete jump-20 feet-and as high as the pole
vaulter's drean16 feet Divide it into two floors,
put wooden stairway outside at the end and open
six small windows each floor.
'.Now divide up each floor into pens D or 1eet
wide and or feet long with board walls lo nches
high and aisle running the whole length OF
the floor in the middle. Throw straw into the pens.
That's the whole outfit.
"Now go to the city and get 95 persons; fathers,
mothers and daughters in their teens and other
children down to infants at the breast Assign pen
to each family and chuck them IN.
"This gives you typical shanty camp as found
by the United States Chldrens Bureau survey the
truck farms of at least one state in the Union"
There other states in which similar cond-
tions allowed to exist, IN which altogether more
than e0C 600 children between 10 and Is at work
as well untold numbers under 10 who not tabu
lated in the 1920 cenSuSn sugar beet fields, tobacco

fully small pay. Many of them work long II
hours a day, undergoing physical eXertlons beyond
their strength, missing school IN spring and tall, eX-
posed in all kinds of weather. retarded in their educa
tion robbed Of playtina and health.
1t is all rather hard to believe, but reliable agen-
cies including the United States Childrens Bureau
and the National Child Labor Committee have ade-
Quate facts and figures covering these things.

MESSAGE is READ
Organization in Annual Ses-

Urban Activity

Washington, Feb. IA hope that
"every encouragement" will be given
the cooperative marketing movement
was expressed today by President
Coolidge in me essage to the Nat.cn-
al Council of Farmers Cooperative
Marketing Associations at the OPEN
ing session of the three-day meeting
here.
The President added that there was
also need for organization of urban
consumers "to give like benefits" and
declared a close working arrange
ment between these two groups is
the ideal toward which present econ
omic efforts should be directed.
The message from Mr.. Coolidge
was read as part Of program
which included addresses by Sena-
tor CaEper of Kansas, head of the
senate farm bloc and former Gov
ernor Frank Lowden Of Illinois. The
Presidents letter was addressed to
Walton Peteet, secretary Of the
Council, and said:
II have many times declared my
conviction that the development of
a powerful cooperative movement in
this country is one of the needs OF
, this period of economic readjust-
ment. Much has been accomplished
along this line in many American
communities bat it cannot be said
that the cooperative idea has found
very firm Judgement in the actual
practice of the great majority Of thu
American people.
Yet the example Of its ad

and impressive that one cannot bu

RAID SHACK,
TAKE STILL
One of Most Complete Found
in State Is Claim

Fargo. Feb. 7.-Cass county sher-'
iff's office. men and federal prohibit
ton agents wrecked what federal
agent called one Of the most COM
plete distilleries ever discovered in
eastern North Dakota when they raid
ed a shack on the Sheyenne river,
about a mile and half south OF the
packing plant, West Fargo.
Seven gallons of liquor were Sc
cured as we'll as a sample OF the
mash. The rest Of it was poured IN
to the Sheyenne, and the agent VINO
performed this work declared that
the alcohol in it melted the ice for 70
feet around, while the fish lined up
at the bar.
The still, a SO gallon copper one,
was operated in day and night shifts
to turn out 80 gallons of bliss and
forgetfulness each "a hours, the men
in charge told the raiders, the latter
said.
It was the largest outfit ever cap
>tured in Cass county, according to
the sheriff's men.
The alleged bootleggers, A. j. Hen
nager;, 20, and Thomas Ryan, "a, were
to have their hearing before Judge
jJ. X. Bingham this afternoon.
The still outfit was well arranged
according to the agents.
The SO gallon still stood on gaso.
! line stove which had been braceo
with pipes so that it would bear the
! large weight of the apparatus wher
filled with mash. The tank OF th'
stove had been fitted with a pres
sure pump, the agents said, SO tina
the flames could be forced to flare
out under the still and up about thu
sides, giving greater speed and pro
duction efficiency.
The shed was divided into tw
parts and in the other half were 81
| barrels of corn mash, surrounding
heating stove, which kept them fer
! menting nicely.

Much Profit Is Received From

1921 as the net profit for 1923 Oh
the city's municipality owner water
and light plants as compared with
a net profit of $11,850.O8 for the
plants in 1922. This fact is shown
by comparison Of the annual report
to the water and light commission
Of the city council by r. G. Prlce'
city clerk and bookkeeper and col
lector for the water and light de-
partment, made public, with SINH
lar report Of a year ago.
In another annual report made
public, his report as city clerk, on
the receipts and disburs ements OF the
city in 1923 Mr.. Price shows that
there was on January l, 1924, a bal
ance Of $93,110.75 in the city treas
ury, nearly twice as much as was IN
the city treasury year ago. 1he
balance on hand January l, 1923, was

The total net earnings of the water

year previous shows the total ne
earnings of 1922 to have been $2o'

have been $31, ,598.94.
With the increase in net earning
of the water and light department

WISCONSIN TOWN FEEDING PEOPLE
ON STALLED TRAINS OUT OF FOOD

When two North western trains
were stalled near Reedsville on
Monday residents of the town
found the population nearly
doubled. The towns one hotel and
stores were soon sold out. There
are two cheese factories lin town
and a flour mill, however, and it
is believed the town can hold out
several days If necessary.
Two towns north Of Manitowoc
have been cut off two days and the
only source of food supplies is said
to be tug boats bringing in sup
plies from Manitowoc. With tele-
phone and telegraph service being
restored reports are just coming in
indicating the severity of the biz
zard. In many parts Of Wisconsin
drifts 20 feet high are said to be
holding up transportation.
