Relief for the Farmers

THE agricultural crisis which is driv-
ing millions of farmers from the
land, bringing bankruptcy to other
millions, increasing mortgages and
tenantry, and which has made ii inn
possible for millions of farmers to
secure a decent livelihood from their
toll has It's origin in the contradiction
between highly developed mass ma.
chine production in industry and the
less developed individual production
upon the farms which exists under the
capitalist system. We have monopoly
and centralized production in industry
with a dictation Of prices, while agri-
culture is unorganized and decentral-
tied.
The crisis growing out OF this funda-
mental contradiction is intensified by
the bitter exploitation to which the
farmer Is subjected thru the railroads,
marketing organizations. food dis
tributing trusts, bankers and so forth.

dent Gales gave every Indication Of
turning deaf ear to the peace plea
of the episcopate which he considers
a confession of impotence and loss
of morale due to the refusal Of the
United States to intervene on the
demand of the Knights of Columbus,
and the failure of the abortive con
spiraey of General Estrada who was
arrested by United States agents in
California with all his men and mules.
The church is beaten. In long
letter to the president the episco-
pate stresses its pacific intentions
and with true jesuit cunning argues
that one is not violating a law by re-
fusing to obey il.
Worth Next To Nothing.
Government officials declare that
the word of Mexican bishop is about
the most unreliable thing in the world.
Accustomed as the Mexican masses
are to jesuit sophistry they are amaz-
ed that the clergy would have the
impudence to claim pacific inten-
tions after having instigated a boy
colt designed to paralyze industry and
make it possible during the expected
chaos for the ever-ready reactionary
militarists to overthrow the revolu-
tionary government.

make it look as if we are picking on

he had not thrown in his lot with

But we are willing to give man the
benefit of every reasonable doubt.

An arrangement has been made so that a building on the campus former ly occupied by one of the employees will be refurnished and will be used during the coming year for women students. It is large enough to house properly six young women and a wo- man who will have them in charge.
 President Bunnel announces that Miss Martha A. Park, an instructor in the Home Economics department, will be in charge of this cottage for girls. Miss Park has been a very success ful Instructor during the past year and is qualified both by experience and by natural ability to undertake this responsibility. The cottage will be steam-heated, and will be modern in all respects. The young women will take their meals in the dining room at the men's dormitory. This dining-room is used generally as a restaurant for all students at the lunch hour and for visitors who come to the college.
 The charge for room will be SIO00 per month; the charge for board win be S4500 per month. The rooms win be completely furnished with the ex- ception of bedding. Each girl win be expected to take care of her own room.
 Since only the limited number of six can be accommodated any wom- en who expect to attend college next year should make application to Pres ident Bunneu at once.
