LAGuNA MOUNTAINS

Over the hills the twilight gently lowered,
And as watched it's fading golden beam;
The moon ereptout from where the mountains lowered
And she'd her silver light . er hill and stream
The dusk had aud all the land seemed weary
Then quickly seted to it s night Of rest;
The stars peeped forth spread their beams cherry
A gentle breeze breathed softly from the west
All earth lay beneaththe star and moonlight,
L4ulled off to sleep by lullabys divine:
No sound in all the land dark to dawnlight
Except the roaring of the gusty pine
What dream s this? The hour Of twilight passes
The hour of night is here; and soft and low
[ hear the murnur of the wind that masses
TX mighty hosts of rain seet and
Deep in it's roar as 'cr the land it RACES;
Fierce is it s blast on hin and plain and vale,
Dark is the night darkest Of the ages;
Lost are the stars and moon with face pale
Down sweeps the storm from high and rocky lodges,
Driving the birds before it's awful cold
Tall stands the pine it with silver edges
Shaking in wrath before the north wind bold
Then ends the night cold dawn brings the daylight
White les the land wrapped deep in robes of snow;
Far CLEAN the peaks austere grand meath light;
Great cooling torrents pour to wales below
Awake, The stars are clear, ah, l was dreaming:
That storm wind blew around cold and fine.
The snow was Just the hills meath moonlight cleaning
The storm was Just the roaring of the pines.

1.-THE farm population in round
numbers apprOximates SO,OO0,0OO
persons. The urban population is
close to 57,OOO,OOO persons. Select
now a representative number Of cit
les whose combined population
comes up to 30,0OO,OOO and it will be
found that there are 100000 fewer
children under ten years Of age in
these cities than in the whole farm
population.
what are some Of the results
which flow from this great disparity
between farm life and city life? In
the first place, every one will see
that with 100000 fewer producers
than city industries in cities Of an
equal population, farming is carry
ing the burden of rearing and edu-
eating 100000 more children-nOn-
producers-than city industry. The
full weight Of this fact becomes aD-
parent only when It is realized that
the greater part Of this human pro-
duct is turned over at the producing
age to the cities and to city indus
try, ready made, finished, educated.
The farm people are feeding, cloth
ing, carrying through the perils Of
infancy and childhood practically
the equivalent Of a small nation;
then when this nation arrives at an
age when it can be productive, turns
it over as a free gift to urban in
dustry."

THE CHILD LABOR PROBLEM
OF THE FARMER
By Arthur Capper, United States
Senator from Kansas.

Industry is reaching out for farm
children. Cotton mills, knitting mills,
shoe factories, and garment factor
les are moving into the smaller cit
les and the country towns. Labor is
cheaper" in the country, because
the potential labor supply IS un-
organized, and inexperienced in self
protection.
That Is one phase of the "decen-
tralization Of industry" Henry Ford
talks about-and Mr.. Ford is himself
building factories in the country in
order, he says, to utilize farm labor
in the winter time. The garment in
dustries Of New England are moving
South.
How does this affect the farmer?
It may bring markets nearer. But
It is his children the factories are
after. Does he realize what that
means?
Child labor becomes the farmers
problem not with reference to the
work Of his own children on his own
farm, but with reference to their
work in the factory Shall farm
children work in factories without
proper regulation? Or shall they be
surrounded b ythe protection Of lin
tied hours and safe-guarded against
industrial hazards? Shall the exper-
fence Of Industrial states and the re-
sulting Industrial laws be extended
to the agricultural areas? Or shall
the farm children be left at the mer-
cy Of newly arrived manufacturing
interests seeking to use them as
"cheap" labor in competition with
the protected labor Of other states
or communities?
That this is one large aspect Of
the child labor problem in America
today is clear from facts stated in
recent monthly summary of "The
Agricultural Situation" issued by
the Bureau of Agricultural Emono-
mics of the U. S. Department Of
Agriculture. Children under 10
years Of age in farm communities,
says c. ]. Galpin, in charge of the |
Division of Farm Population and |
Rural Life, outnumber by 100000 |
the children Of any group Of cities
in the United States, having COM
bined population equal to the total
farm population. Mr.. Galpin puts it
This way:
