At the end of the first half in the
Legion-"Y" game the score was Z

Gardiner, Jan. 31.-In a fast, al
though top-Eeavy scoring game the
husky Biddeford Applechasers turn
ed the tables on the Gardiner Red
Shirts and smirched the clean record
of the Gardiner five. Gardiner looked
slow in the second period when
Biddeford Gagged eight goals but
came back strong in the third period
and in whirlwind offence Gagged
seven of the Apples and Biddeford
came across with a lone tally which
proved sufficient TO win. For Gardi-

and for Biddeford McGrath. the
husky halfback, and Foss the first
rush eXcelled.

Harrington's Old Timers and The

trimmings to Harrington's bunch by
the score of to 2. and if the game
had gone a few minutes longer it
is doubtful if there would have been
enough clubs and skates left in the

played with four men on side, as
the clubs gave out.

abandoning all pretense of class
struggle. The approaching crisis is
at the same time pressing upon the
middle bourgeoisie especially the
smaller industrialists, independent
producers, small retailers, profession
ais and intellectuals, and furnishes
the economic basis for the growing
political revolt of the city workers
and middle class.
AGRICULTURE-AThe crisis in
agriculture is much farther advanced
and more acute than in industry.
Development of agricultural tech
nique has long been demanding more
capital than was possessed by the
tillers Of the laid, under the prevail
ing mode of individual production.
Trust-farming, to correspond with
the development of industry under
similar conditions, was unable to de-
velop on large scale. 1t was nec-
essary to find a method which, while
retaining the form of individual own
ership, allowed an actual concentra-
ton in the hands of the money in
terests. This was achieved in Ella
borate and comprehensive extension
of the mortgage system, and along
with it, tenantry. Agriculture, con-
sidered only on its productive side,
fiourished and grew for time.
But the farmer, gradually but
surely, began to find himself in the
financial position, not of the indie
pendent producer, but of the depen-
dent worker or worse. In a flour
ishing industry he found himself I'M
able to pay his bills. Just as the coal
miners are starving in one of the
wealthiest industries of the country,
so the farmers who produce the food
are finding themselves actually going
hungry. The ownership of the land,
and with it the produce of the land,
has actually passed out of their
hands. Today a bare third of agri-
culture is carried on by those who
hold clear ownership of the land they
till.
Accompanying this has gone con-
comitant development of increasing
taxes that further pressed upon the
bankrupt farmer. The expansion of
the war period, with its price-fxing
Of wheat and indirect subsidies to
agriculture, gave temporary relief,
but at the same time immeasurably
stimulated the process which is the
fundamental trouble of the working
farmers. This was realized in life
when the defation began in 1920.
With the barrier of war conditions
removed, the full force of the accu-
mulating changes in the fundamen-
tai basis of agricultural ownership
was felt. The prevailing system of
individual production, because it no
