6-YEAR old BOY
SWIMS DELAWARE
3-Mfle Width Between Red Bank And
Phila. Made In Al Minutes.

Six-year-old Johnny Devine, Jr.,
in Al minutes on Monday afternoon,
successfully swan across the 3-rnile
width of the Delaware River from
Red Bank to League Island Navy
Yard.
The river on both sides was crowd
ed with swimming fans as the young
ster a sturdy lad despite his thaness,
plunged into the water and struck
out for the opposite shore. Beside
him going stroke for stroke was his
father, John Devine, the boys pal
and trainer, who has been coaching
the lad for the event for three years.
Cleaving the water with clean
strokes of his small arms, the boy
proceeded hand over hand, aims and
feet working in perfect unision. Not
once did he falter nor perceptibly
change his stroke, and when he
reached the Philadelphia side of the
river he appeared still comparatively
fresh.
Accompanying the young swimmer
and his parent-trainer were boats
filled with spectators and officials of
the Amateur Athletic Union, under
the auspices of which the event was
held.

Farmers Cream
Association Formed
at Glen Ullin

Organization Of the first Farmers
Cream association, organized as
stock corporation in North Dakota
was announced here today by John
A. HUSKY, director of the dairy divi-
sion of the state agricultural de-
partment.
The new company, which has
nucleus of 1875 members of a non
stock concern which it replaces will
have its headquarters at Glen Ullin.
Need for a new plan of organiza-
ton arose, HUSKY said, when the
old corporation found that it could
not legally distribute to the mem.
bers $500 which it had accumulat.
ed as surplus. The new plan will
permit distribution of the money.
Although the main object of the
company will be the cooperative
marketing of cream, it also will mar
ket poultry, eggs and similar pro.
duce, HUSKY said.
The new company marks the first
step in a development which NAV
mean much to the state, HUSKY said.
as it puts cooperative marketing
on sounder business basis than
heretofore"
The men responsible for the new
idea, he said, are William ]. Lance
and Peter Cartner, directors of the
present company, and G. A. Nuhbell.

Editorial Comment
What Labor Creates
(BarrOnS)

iBarTOnS)
In the unreasOn OF communism the socialist
almost conservative. 1t is interesting to
the socialist secretary Of the British General
Federation OF Trade Unions, in discussing "Econo-
mics and Ethics in Relation to Welfare.' as cor
ceding that labor does not create everything. lie
says that labor is not the cause of wealth but only
of the factors making wealth measurable and
consumable. He says the other factors in the
earth the and the air and ito extent not gen
orally admitted, in the efforts and applications OF
intelligence" He goes on to say that the syndi-
calists took an untenable position when they de-
mandcd that the mines should be turned to-
the miners. He denies that the miner has any more
right in them than the people of the country in
which the mines exist. This is large concession,
if it implies naturalization of the mines.
No real for such specialization is made out.
But for the intelligence and knowledge by
self-denia which originally discovered the mines,
found market for their product showed people
how to utilize that product for heating, steam, gas
and coke and all the derivatives of coal tar found
the capital to support labor before the profits
in and when the mine did not prove productive
to any profitable extent, the miner would be work
ing at something else. In fact tracing the problem
back to its origin, he would be scraping bare
living out of the soil with bent stick His labor
is not worth any more now than it was then. His
claim that he shall confscate the whole rewards of
intelligence learning and selfdenial is prepOster
and only little more preposterous than that
the whole community shall dispose of the results
at its pleasure Intelligence is essentially stimu
lated by reward. whether that reward is in power,
in cash its equivalent, or in degree of freedom
unfetered by responsibility for earning daily bread
by accountability to socialistc officials. 1t will
never develop in communism which implies moth
ing more than the equality of common restitution.

Russia Goes Wet

Eleven years Of prohibition which did not pro.
hib is the experience Of Russia which returns to
wet basis. Whiskey which tests sixty per cent
alcohol has made its appearance along with the
forty per cent vodka. The stuff is selling at from
81 TO 81 quart.
Partial prohibition, however, has been the rule
in Russia. The government found that the nation
was not ready for complete prohibition and revised
its rules somewhat and placed the manufacture and
distribution OF spirits in the hands of the soviet
government. The governments need of revenue.
not the issue Of public health or morals, was the
determining factor. Under the government scheme
private stills We're active and the improvident use
of wheat and rye resulted. The peasanry continued
to manufacture vodka when government regulation
made it harder to get supply.
Abandonment of prohibition opposed by many
influential communists, among whom was Nicolai
Lenin In the face of treasury needs however argu-
meat futile and Russia is wet basis solely
for revenue.

Marriage

The Iowa bureau OF child welfare lists 900

the inmates OF insane asylums. and all others whom
the board knows TO be unfit for MARRIAGE
II the last classification means what II says, the
list is too short. Not medically, perhaps, but hui
manly.
Who is fit for marriage?
Certainly not the selfish the nconsidcratc. tn
stupid, the lazy, the moody Or the unclean.
Not those who can not have difference OF opin
ion without quarreling it. Not those who
stand too rigidly for their own way, or yield toe
weakly to the others.
Not the too intense the too placid those who
measure marriage wholly by happiness or wholly
by duty; those who are alike or too unlike-not
in fact most of US.
