When Wilbert Robinson fished
down into his pocket last winter,
drew forth the official checkbook
and filled out a slip of paper worth
$4,000 to the Chicago Cubs, he
gained title to a player worth 20
times that amount to any ball club.
Robbie was gambling on the Rab-

Rabbit was through, burnt out, as

a chance.

that he won.

When a broken leg and the weal
and tear of managing a tail-enc
club resulted in a highly mediocre
record for the weather-beaten old
timer in 1921, the consensus was
that the Rabbit had slowed up still
further, that he had outlived his
usefulness as big league bal
player.
He appears to have fooled then
all. There seems little difference
in the Maranville who ranges be
tween second and third for the
Robins today and the young and
ambitious MaranviIle who IL years
ago was an outstanding feature 81
a Boston miracle team. PERHAPS
the Rabbit of today is little more
wrinkled and a little less spfy
than the Rabbit of a dozen years
ago. But, on the other hand, he's a
little more cagy and little more
sure of himself.

Illinois production was again over 100000 tons
a week. The August report says: Announce
ments coming to the attention of the department
told of the reopening of five mines to employ
200, while mines reporting regularly to the de-
partment had 1877 percent more men on their pay
rolls in August than in July. According to re-
ports Of the U. S. bureau of mines, during the
week of Aug. Z, production of coal in Illinois
mines was for the first week in some time larger
than production in Kentucky. In the week of
August Ia production again was larger in Illinois
than in Kentucky" But the department shows
that the miners are still badly off when it adds
that the index number OF EMPLOYMENT in the
mines is still n points below August 1925.
The Illinois free employment offices reported
131 applicants for every 100 jobs offered. In July
there were 199 applicants for each 100 jobs and
in August 1925 also 139. The average weekly
wage for August was $28.62 compared with a
July average of $27.96 and 27.91 year ago.
August ended the downward movement of fac
tory employment in New York state, according to
industrial commissioner Hamilton. The decline
which began in April brought employment per-
cent below the high point of the year in March.
The August gain of about 1 percent left employ
ment at exactly the level of August 1925.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL

Billings received the recommendation from the
special committee for the location of the proposed
new normal school.
Well, Billings received the recommendation, but
the next thing will be to convince the legislature
that Billings should receive the normal and get the
act by that body and the governors signature on
it.
While the normal committee may recommend
Billings, it will take lot of talk to convince the
representatives of Northeastern Montana that they
want another normal school in Montana if that in
stituHOn is to go to Billings.
The people who live near Billings are closer to
Dillon than the people here are to Billings; if we
have to go to Billings, we can as well go en- out
to Dillon where the climate is better and the seen

POVERTY AND HUNGER
AND CRIME

Here is Harry Elmer Barnes with a 382-page
work called "The Repression of Crime" (Doran)
He traces the history of crime and prisons in
America, cOnvict-industry, crime in the light of
modern social science, how prisons punish the
human mind trial by jury, evolution of criminal
jurisprudence, and various other matters
But nowhere does Mr. Barnes say anything
about unemployment as a cause Of crime He
does not mention poverty as a cause, and utters
no word about hunger. He says nothing about
men being broken in industry by accident or oc-
cupational diseases, nothing of those who are
thrown upon the scrapheap because of casualties
in the national speed-up
The nearest he comes to touching upon these
factors is when he says eve have given up the
notion of as a free moral agent and have
come to the conclusion that human conduct is
the resultant of a vast number Of influences,
alike hereditary and cultural, which make our ac-
ton at any time as thoroughly determined as any
other natural phenomenon" And when he says:
ut has been shown (by psychiatry) that a Grim
inal act is absolutely determined for the individ-
ual on the basis of his biological heredity, his
past and present experiences, or both"
Who will deny that unemployment poverty and
hunger drive humans to violent deeds? Much of
Mr.. Barnes book has value It is too bad
he does not come down to earth when he deals
with the causes of crime.

than 81 percent Of the new capital

cans went into Germany. And near
ly so percent went into Europe. Com
pared with Germany's $159, 720,500
share, Latin America, supposed to be
the special empire of American CAPT
tai, received only $114,970,0O0.
Germany's lead as field for Amer
lean investment in 1926 is especially
noteworthy in the realm Of corporate
finance. American capitalists prOvid-
ed German industry with S17,42O,5OO

percent of all the new capital which
Americans provided for foreign cor
porations in the period. Europe as
a whole got nearly sc percent Of
Americas investment in foreign cor
porations.
Since Jan. 1, 1924 $242, 100000 new
capital from this country has been
furnished German corporations. Ger
man governmental, provincial and
municipal issues have been flOated in
this country to the extent of $3.50,
100000. The combined total of CAPT
tai furnished Germany by the Amer
lean investing class is $5O8, $4,000.
The world war opened Germany to
the inroads of American capitalist
imperialism. American capital is to
an increasing extent exploiting the
highly skilled German proletariat in
competition with the workers at

THE FINE ART OF HOG CALLING
We're learning more and more every day.

We're learning more and more every day.
We are finding out that "hog calling" is a real
art. A newspaper admitted that it didn't know
anything about it, and Immediately there follow
ed a flood of authoritative" information from
Westemers, Fasteners, SOutherners, Northern
ers.
Oh yes, we know that hogs are called" We
called them ourselves some years ago. but far be
it from us to venture the correct" approach.
We find, too, that there isn't any one particu-
lar exercise of the vocal cords to bring piggie
armning.
Suggestions have come from various parts of
the country, each supposed to be the original and
authentic call. Here they are:
Indiana and Western Kentucky: ''P 0 o g i e.
PooOogiel PoooogieI"
Middle West: "WhOo-eel Whoo-ee WhOO-
eel"
East Texas: 90 Pigl Pig OF Pig OIL Pig
or
Delaware: "Who zee zee eeel"
Glasgow, KY. $500 eeeel 500 zee 500
eeee"
Fred Patel, champion hog caller of Nebraska,
whose call can be heard two miles away, says it's
''Poooo-ew dig"
Patel also says: you've got to have appeal,
as well as power, in your voice You've got to
convince the hogs you've got something for
them"
Now, just how do they do it in this cOuntry7

tons of coal it consumes annually and
jobs to the railroaders who handle
the $3.50 cars which it loads daily.
Brickyards are today operating at on
ly half capacity.
Another evidence Of increasing for
eign competition appears in protests
to the U. S. treasury department
against the dumping of German pig
iron. In these letters Witherbee,
Sherman & Co., note the importation
Of 1912 tons Of German pig iron the
first five months Of 1926. They say:
German pig iron is sold duty-paid at
Boston. New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore at prices ranging from
$20.25 to S21.5O a ton, prices less
than the cost of production of many
American producers"
These are signs which American la
Dor must watch. They result from
the exactions of world capital forced
upon European labor as an aftermath
of the war. The Dawes plan for col
lecting reparations gathers this trib
ute from the conquered Germans. In
directly it means that similar exploit
ation is being forced on the other peo-
pies of Europe. The greater part of
the tribute must eventually flow in
goods to American capital placed by
the war in a dominant position.
Under our capitalist system Ameri-
can labor will inevitably feel the
pressure of this increasing flow of
goods.

"Ours is the philosophy Of equal

modern corporation is the greatest
single instrument for economic adj
vancement devised by man. COrpO-

Ihe present capitalistic indus

United States is firmly established
because its functiOning and results
have become completely merged

verted into vast supplies of the
things that minister to the needs,

wealth is compensation for the risk
