Students at the Senior high school were given an opportunity to make preparations for the next semester at the school today. The first year mid year class which is at school for its first day spent the opening period this morning filling out program cards and ether material in preparation for tbc coming semester. Upper classes were promoted. They also filled out pro gram cards for tho semester.
 Gymn lsium classes were started this morning for the first time since military training was held at the school. Lionel Depot took charge of Inc classes. Squad leaders were ap- pointed and announcements were made relative to plans for the com ing year.
 The senior club will hold it's rogu. lar monthly meeting at tho high school auditorium on Friday evening. A business meeting will be held al which secretary will be chosen for the rest of the year, and an enter tainmcnt will follow. A variety act by John Scbenck and John Butler will be the feature. Announcements as to other acts on the entertainment will be made later.
 Almost half of the mid-year gradu- ation class has returned to school to take post graduate course. This ex- tra time will give them the oppor- tunity to take mp work they could not have time to handle while they were under classmen.
 Contrary to popular rumor there will be school all day Friday. The teachers convention will not be held | since there will not be a large enough | attendance from this city to merit the | closing Of schools for the days.

 IDEA OF FARM AID
tcontinued from First Page,


 able terms as will give promise that the farmer may work out his future with the help of the funds advanced oy the government.
 'Second: It is proposed that the time during which the war finance corporation may have advances for agricultural purposes be extended to the end of the present calendar year. The policy has been to make loans where they would be helpful to the agricultural and livestock interests but to make. them on a sound business basis and upon adequate security. This policy must be adhered to in the fu- ture. The corporation cannot and should not make loans directly to in- dividual farmers, nor should it pur- chase paper without recourse from banks or other financial institutions. It's ability to function effectively has been due in large measure to the fact that it has insisted upon respon- sible financial intermediates, and that policy must not be abandoned.
 Limits to Assistance
 Tn my message to congress stat ed that there are distinct limits 10 the scope of the assistance which the fed eral government can render. These limits must not be overstepped. It was pointed out that government agencies cannot properly make loans upon insecure collateral or banking whose capital is seriously impaired. There have been severe losses to banking and commercial in- tercsts on account oi the serious con- ditions prevailing in the northwestern states. Some Of these losses doubt less Gan be repaired and further losses avoided, if the program of ac- tion herein outlined is adhered to. lut WIG must take no action that will make it possible 10 transfer losses from private interests to the public treasury. The object should be re- not charity. whether it Is charity for the weak or for the strong.
 It shows, therefore, that the gov nrnment should not he asked to take oNer, without recourse, an insecure or doubtful paper now held by banks or other creditors, or to make loans to enable farmers to liquidate existing indebtedness to going institutions.

UNION LABOR NEVER
SHIRKS DAY OR NIGHT

In our political life our country
has its flag which stands for free
dom, democracy and justice and to
which we all bow in sublime admira-
ton, devotion and answering fealty.
On the economic field of endeavor
we have our union labels, acknowl-
edged and declared to be a potential
driving, helpful force and assistance
in creating unions and maintaining
them steadfast and intact; in Great
ing fair wages, shorter hours and
better working and living conditions,
the union label is a silent working
agency that is even beyond the con-
troll and interference of injunction
judges. It is the least expensive
agency we have. 1t works day and
night. 1t never shirks nor complains,
It never quits. 1t is always ready
and willing to serve. 1t should not be
neglected. The label richly deserves
our recognition, our unqualified devo-
ton, our constant and faithful pat
ronage. Hostile, labor-baiting en-
ployers, open shoppers, big interests,
grasping profteers employ all known
means to defeat the just aspirations
of trade unionists and our yearning
for a better economic, social and
political life.
Let us herewith renew our faith in
and our loyalty to labor's economic
flag, and to pledge our undivided sup
port and patronage to the union label,
shop card, button and working card
of all unions.
Let US call upon the workers in all
trades and callings to pledge their
loyalty to and support of the union
label, thus IMPLYING their devotion to
that emblem of economic solidarity
and fraternal good will.

COOLIDGE CAMPAIGN
HEAD IN ILLINOIS AIDS
ASSAULT ON LABOR

By international Labor News Service
WASHINGTON, d. c.. Aug. Is
Roy o. West, secretary of the repub-
lican national committee and manager
of the Coolidge campaign in Illinois,
was today connected by the American
Federation Of Labor with one of the
most recent labor injunctions.
Mr.. West is member of the firm
of West & Eckhardt, Chicago law
yers. This firm represented the West
ern Union Telegraph Company in an
application for an injunction against
five local unions in Chicago. The APP
plication was made before Judge
James H. Wilkerson, who granted
the famous Daugherty injunction
against the railroad shop trades. The
writ asked for by West & Eckhardt
was granted and the order now stands
against the local unions which are on
strike against the Western Union.
The injunction contains the Gus
tomary drastic provisions, including
a provision restraining the members
of the unions from any effort to Gin
duce by persuasion" employees of the
Western Union to cease work, and
thus assist the unions to win the
strike.
Unions enjoined include one local
union each belonging to the electri-
clans, plasterers, bricklayers. plumb
ers and the elevator constructors,
and three local unions belonging to
the bridge and structural iron work
ers.
1--WE expect such things" said Sec
rotary Frank Morrison. ''There is
nothing in the republican platform
which makes it inconsistent for Mr..
West, the secretary of the national
republican committee, to follow in
the footsteps of former Attorney
General Harry Daugherty in attempt
ing to prevent wage earners from
exercising their lawful rights.
1.-THE republican party does not
even pretend to oppose the injunction.
Mr.. Daugherty, Mr.. West and Judge
WilkersOn are not out of harmony
with the republican platform though

My Dear Mr.. Johnson:
1 cannot let this opportunity
go without expressing my admir-
alton for the qualities of patriot
ism, wisdom, and character which
enabled you to bring about such
an extraordinary reversal of our
policies, as is found in the inn
migration bill which bears your
name and which was recently
signed by the President.
Different men have differ
ent angles from which they view
legislation, so that I cannot ex-
pect others to take my view of
all things. Nevertheless, in my
view your measure is the most
important piece of legislation
that has been enacted during
my time: it will nave a more
far-reaching and beneficial effect
upon the future of our country
than any other legislative act that
I can recall.
With the most profound re-
spect and warmest good wishes, ]
am,
Very cordially, your
