CLUB WORK MAKES
REAL HOG GROWERS
TON LITTERS IN PROSPECT
BAINVILLE BOY FATHERS
LIEUTENANT

Roosevelt County, through its Pig
Club is developing some genuine hog
growers, as indicated from the obser-
vations and reports made by some
Of thte boys whose pigs were inspect
ed and judged this last week. It is
possible that some Of these boys will
have pigs that will come up to the
Ton Litter class at the expiration of
$50 days, which is the time limit on
a ton litter contest.
Froid Boys Fine Litter
Both Eldon Picard, who lives north
of Bainville, and Cecil Nordman, liv-
ing east Of Froid, have filters that
undoubtedly will be in this class.
The latter boy has a registered Duroc
SOW with II pigs almost four months
old with a gain Of a pound a day up
to that age, and with a record of all
feed which has been consumed in the
enterprise. He is one of the most
outstanding boys in the club and the
result of his project would be hard
to duplicate by any experienced hog
breeder.
Busy BainvilIe Boy
Eldon Picard, a 12-year old boy in
addition to successfully raising 10
hogs from his litter, has been in
charge of, and the manager of "a
other hogs on his fathers ranch.
Eldon takes care of these "a hogs,
waters them, feeds them the best of
rations, has a five acre sweet clover
pasture and keeps a record on his
production, all of which is necessary
in successfully raising hogs.

From many a thirsty citv. from
many avillage sere, there comes the
plaintive ditty, "Give us light wines
and beer! We would not have I'M
Grated the corpse of Barleycorn: we'd
not have reinstated the dr1nkard's
morning horn. But beer and vine
won't hurt you, or fill your dome with
bees; you may preserve your virtue
and hit up drinks like these. The
present laws too drastic, it robs our
lives of cheer; oh, make it more elias
tic and give US wine and beer" But
statesmen, ere you tinkerwith laws
now on the books, to soothe the an
guished drinker, who will not sip from
brooks, frame up a law to Danish
all wagons using gas, let every aiv-
yer vanish and from the highways
pass. Expunge the humble Lizzie
the chooing four and six; with work
like this get busy, for beer and gas
won't mix. The streets and roads
are crowded with palpitating wains,
and we should have unclouded and
keen and normal brains. Two sniff
ers from a bottle unbalances the
mind, and man will ope the throttle
and whoop and go it blind. Fen
while we're drinking water, deprived
of wine and beer, we mark the road
with slaughter, and fill tn eworld
with fear. And when we're primed
with toddies, however mild they be,
the swath of mangled~bodies will be
sight to see. If statesmen would
leliver the thirsty from their woe,
they first should kill the fivver that
frolics to and fro.-Walt Mason, in

callly all of Mr.. Picard's corn acre

Stop War In Mems Hearts

We defy war and then wonder

the guns and drum stand, and then
apparently expect them to hate war.

and then wonder why our young men
rush into war.
"When we learn to subdue hate
in our hearts and not delight in what
we sometimes call righteous indig-
nation, but rather in thinking good
to our neighbor always, then can we
begin to hope that men will grow to
respect one another without a fight.
"a change in this attitude toward
war will not come until all our wo-
men really and vitality want val stop
ped. They train the very young
always. 1t is up to them, to use a
common phrase to stop war in the

up in Browns defense; legislatures
passed resolutions asking for his
pardon, Congressman began speak
ing out, newspapers suddenly found
themselves in danger of losing
their subscribers if they spoke
against John Brown; everywhere
in the North men found themselves
waking from dream, and coming
into the clear, white vision of John
Brown. They saw slavery as if for
the first time in all its horrors;
they could not help taking sides.
And the South became more and
more infamed with rage as the
trial progressed, and those rever-
berations reached it from the
North.

John Brown was tried on three
charges, murder, treason, and in
citing the slaves to rebellion. The
trial was quickly over; it was but
a formality. The jury, Of course,
returned the verdict of guilty, and
John Brown, lying on his cot in
the courtroom, said not word,
but turned quietly over on his side,
when he heard it.
A few days later, Judge Parker
pronounced the sentence Of death,
and this time John Brown rose
from his cot, and drawing himself
up to his full stature, with flashing
eagle eyes, and calm, clear and dis
tinct tones, he addressed the citi-
zens Of America. He said many
things that they were soon to m
derstand clearly on the battlefields
of the Civil War.

that he clutched so proudly as he
hurried home.
He Scabs No More.
When he entered the mean little
cottage in a dismal back street that
served him as a town house, he saw
that there was something wrong. His
father more bitter and resentful than
ever and his mothers eyes looked as
if she had been crying.
Now his mother was kissing him
impulsively, while his father was ex-
planning in his slow, hating, earnest
way that impressed Billy far more
than the fiowery words of Mr. Hearst.
The workers at the Pioneer Press had
been unorganized until one of the
workers had got them into the union,
so that they could be loyal to their
class. The bosses had fired this man
and the workers had gone out on
strike against his dismissal. The firm
was trying to carry on with the scabs
dirty traitors to their class! So
other workers had come loyalty to
the help of the strikers. Along with
all the other truck drivers, Mr.. Jarvis
had refused to deliver papers to the
Press from the paper warehouse
where he was employed. So he lost
his job. "Now I'm afraid there will
be no pocket money for you, Billy,
and no camp this year unless this
affair is settled soon," ended Jarvis
gloomily.
AS soon as his father had finished,
Billy related all that had passed dur
ing the day and asked his father to
clear up his bewilderment. He had
tried to be loyal, and so had his
father, yet they found themselves
fighting against one another.
Then Mr.. Jarvis answered, slowly,
painfully seeking after words, but
with an earnestnes and bitterness
born of hard experience. Billy had
seen how, in the Pioneer Press, there
were directors who did no work-ex-
cept when forced to during strikes -
but who rode around in automobiles,
while the people who did work-"and
you know how hard work is, Billy
lived in miserable houses and were
always hard up. So it was, all over
the country. There was class who
worked for low wages, and a class
who get rich by robbing and oppress-
ing the workers.
Let's Get Busyl
Then he showed Billy the con-
tradiction in the Scout Law. If
working class lad was loyal to his
employers, he was disloyal to his
parents, who were ground down by
the masters. II he wanted to be loyal
to his parents, he could not be loyal
to the rich and the country, which
was based on the robbery of the
weak and helpless. Everyone had
to choose one loyalty and stick to it
and he asked Billy to choose the
loyalty of the working class. SO
they talked for hours, and, at the
end, they burned the Pioneer solemn
ly together.
OF course, reader, you know how
the story ends. Billy persuaded his
friends to stop being scabs. Right
so far. He left the Boy Scout move

Youth VieOs
By HARRY CANNES
A. F. of L. and American Legion
Back Military Training.


The flag waving still goes on. Of
ficials of the American Federation of
Lobor, who put themselves forward
as representatives of the American
workers join in the cry for more
murder machinery. Most prominent
among these are Samuel Gompers,
and George L. Berry, president of the
international printing pressmen's
union.
Despite the possibility of the
Citizens Military Training Camps be-
ing used as preparatory fields for
scab and anti-labor forces, these A.
F. Of L. heads are particularly
energetic in calling upon the Ameri-
can working youth to take part in
this form of militarist preparation.
Each day the campaign for the
enlistment Of the youth in the Citi-
zen's military training camps becomes
broader and wider in its scope. Every
nook and corner of the country is
being reached with the Boosting and
gloating advertisements. Just what
response will be had is doubtful at this
time. From the reports we are able
to get, very little enthusiasm is
shown by the American youth for
military training, especially in camps
that have a distasteful reputation
for sinking food and poor housing
conditions.
1t is certain that the set quota of
young fellows who are willing to be
drilled as cannon-fodder without pay
will not be filled and that simultan-
eously the campaign against the Com
munists and pacifsts will develop
enormous proportions when this fact
dawns upon the thick skulls of the
leaders of the militarist movement in
this country.
The American Legion seems to be
losing all its functions save that of
scabbing and of preparing the Ameri-
can youth for new wars. The Legion
acts as the unofficial publicity agent
for the Citizens Military Training
Camps and is doing it's job we'll.
With aid from the mis-leaders of
labor, the Citizens Military Training
Camps might be able to recruit some
misguided young workers, but when
these young fellows come up against
the realities Of the brutal training
and miserable surroundings of the
training camps, they will feel any
thing but kindly toward the labor
lieutenants.

Immense Profits.


What chance is there for these
changes to be effected. Not much,
according to Mr.. Moore. 1.-THE OPP
orators doubtless could starYe the
miners into submission il the coun-
try could exist without COAL" our
friend brilliantly remarks. "But the
trouble is coal is such a fundamen-
tai necessity that the public cannot
await the results of an endurance
test Of this kind. The railroad
unions are without question the
strongest labor organization in the
country, especially in the four ma
jor railroad unions. Thus the pros
pect for forcing b reduction in rail-
road wages is not promising.
IF there is no large reduction
in building costs there can be no
substantial permanent reduction in
rents. Therefore there is no dan
ger Of impairment Of the earning
power or security Ct real estate
bonds offered by the well estab-
lished houses whose national opera
tons permit a close and first hand
study Of all factors involved. Rents
will stay UP for a number Of years"
There are, in this remarkable an
alysis, several frank aud very en-
tightening admissions. The most
important is that the rents paid by
the workers, pay the total opera
ton of building costs, pay the in
come taxes of the real estate men,
and pay for the interest on the real
estate bonds, as well as the profits
reaped by the landlord.
What About Cutting Profits?
Another is, that as long as labor
can be starved into SUBMISSION" the
real estate owners have not the
fNintest idea Of reducing rents by
paying their own income taxes. or
by cutting their own high profits.
Mr.. Moores naive solution to the
high cost of rents is to lower the
wages paid to organized labor. He
is not concerned with The obvious
fact that if the wages Of the work
ers are lowered, even with a reduc-
ton of rents, the rents will still be
proportionately as high, and the
real estate dealers will reap as high
a profit, the wage earners still pay
ing the total expense Of the real
estate dealers, including their high
profits. and their income taxes.
The main points brought out by
the prominent bankers are that the
chief foe Of the men Of finance are
the organized labor union members.
and the chief foes of these wage
are the big bankers who
unscrupulously. by hook or crook,
keep the rents up and make the
workers pay the entire freight, in
GLIDING the income taxes.

Women's wages in Massachusetts,
manufacturing establishments during
February averaged $17.23 a week,
according to statistics compiled by the
state department Of labor. Hardly
an amount to tempt a mother to leave
home. But it does all right-tempts
thousands who find employment in
the cotton mills, the boot and shoe
factories, the silk mills, and garment
trades. And the reason is not hard
to find for the report shows that
thousands of fathers do not earn
more than $25 a week, some of them
as low as $21.56.

BILLY JARVIS DISCOVERS
LOYALTY.
The "Nigger- Thief. !"
BIZ B. WI.


The heart that beat beneath the
khaki jacket of little Billy Jarvis
was the proudest and happiest in the
whole of Murkville. AS he went
bravely among the homeward hurry
ing workers in the clear summer
evening, he paid little heed to his
aching back, his poor sore dropping
eyes, and the other WEAKNESS in his
joints. He clutched his precious
paper tightly, and told himself that
he had spent a glorious day.
Then, for the hundredth time, his
active mind reviewed the wonderful
events since school had closed the
day before for the summer holidays.
There had been special parade of
the whole boy scout troop that night.
How eargerly he had listened to the
speech Of the strange gentleman
whom the scoutmaster had introduced
as Mr.. Hearst, editor of the "Murk-
vile Pioneerp And what a great
speech it wasl
The Scouts Scab.
Mr.. Hearst's speech was loyalty,
which was the thing that kept the
American Democracy together. He
quoted the scout law: "a scout is
loyal to his country, his officers, his
parents, his employers, and those I'M
der him." He was there to offer the
boys a chance to put that excellent
law into practice.
There were, Mr.. Hearst was sorry
to say, creatures on the face of the
earth, who were loyal neither 20
country, nor employer. One of these
creatures had obtained employment
at the Pioneer Press in that very
town. He had been discovered Great
ing discomfort among the workers,
and, of course he was sent about his
business. But his wicked designs
had succeeded only too we'll, and the
workers at the Press had gone on
strike to get the vicious agitator back
into his job.
But a true American like Mr..
Hearst was not so easily beaten. The
Pioneer Press was determined to
carry on without these misguided
men. And would all those boy scouts
who were willing to turn out for
work the next day please step to the
front. What rush there wasl And
one of the most eager was patrol
leader Billy Jarvis.
And the next morning without say
ing anything about it at home, Billy
presented himself for duty. He soon
found that work is not a pleasant
thing. He ran errands, he carried
great piles Of paper and boxes of
type. He counted and wrapped up
cards and handbills as they came off
the press. The managing director
took him to collect paper and deliver
work in his own private automobile.
All the scouts were taken out to
dinner in gorgeous restaurant. They
showed Billy how to set up type, and
he did a whole paragraph for the
Pioneer" now reduced to one small
sheet describing the help given by
the Boy Scouts, and especially the
youngest patrol-leader, Billy Jarvis,
a loyal American citizen of thirteen.
The first copy off the press was signed
by the directors and the editor, and
to Billy. It was this paper

ment in disgust. Correct once more,
dear reader. We congratulate you
on your intelligence. What's that
you say? He joined the Junior Sec
rion of the Young Workers League?
Well, that's what we should like to
write. But unfortunately, Billy had
never heard Of the Junior Section,
altho there is group in his town.
So get busy, comrades, with your
propaganda. There's many a Billy
Jarvis in every corner Of the land
willing and eager to come into our
movement if only he can be told that
it exists.
