Her problems are bound up with the
problems OF, her sisters working IN
the factories in the big cities; and
together they must solve these prob

There is very little variety OF
either food or clothing in the homes
of farm women generally. They have
to live simply because they cannot
afford to buy the things they should
have and really need. Eggs, pork, and
potatoes make up the principal tood
and in many of the farm communities
thruout the country the farmers lam
ily oftentimes cannot even eat as
much as they should of this kind OF
food. for the reason that these 1arm
products must be sold to buy cloth
ing, to pay the taxes and interest.

BY ALFRED KNUTsoN.

TINE farm women, especially the
i wives and daughters of the farm
workers, tenants, and mortgaged
farmers, do more useful labor for less
thanks and reward than any other
class Of workers in this country.
From early in the morning till late
at night the farmers wife is on her
feet, preparing the food for the family
taking care of the children, milking
the cows. feeding the chickens and
turkeys, and not infrequently we ma

a webbing plow and loading hay on
a hot summers day. She rises ear
lier than anybody else on the farm
stead and is the last one to go to bed.
she is busy all day long, working
patiently without very much thought
of what she is going to get for her
labor. She and her husband are part
ners in the disagreeable task OF slay-
ing for the bankers and food gamblers
their capitalist exploiters.
If any person on earth has problems
facing her it is the woman on the
farm. To be sure there are some
farm women who get along quite well
but these constitute only small
minority. The vast masses of farm
women. along with their husbands,
sons and daughters. are eling cut
meager existence from year to year
with the situation on the farm be
coming steadily worse. There is NO
hope for them under the capitalist
system.
Modern conveniences, such as
u1 sewer systems, city water. cleo
trio lights, steam heat, bath, ETC., the
poor wife of struggling farmel
knows nothing about. She should, O
course, have access to these convent
ences in order to tighten her burdens
as well as to increase her health, hap
piness, and general wellbeing. By he
labor she is entitled to it all.

SLAVERY
For Workers in Gary's
Anti-UniOn Shop

New York-The recent statement
by Judge Gary, chairman Of the U. S.
Steel Corporation, that employers
in the United States generally stand
for "fair and liberal treatment Of en-
ployes," uphold the "open shop which
permits man to work whenever and
wherever he is disposed and can
agree with the employer" and Gin
sist labor should receive proper and
adequate compensation" receives the
following castigation in the Uphol-

CHILDREN'S HOME
Expansion Program Held
Up For Lack of Funds

The board of trustees of the Chill
dren's Home has received bids on the
proposed new dormitory for boys and
the cost of the much needed building
is SO large that the trustees have re-
luctantly decided they are unable to
go ahead with the work.
The Children's Home has more chill
dren in it's care now than at any time
in it's history, and new dormitory
for boys is an urgent necessity, but
lack of sufficient money compels the
abandoning for the present of the i'm
provement. The board of trustees
has an aversion to the home being in
debt.
1t is contrary to the policy of the
Children's Home to put on any sort of
an intensive drive for the funds to
meet its constantly increasing needs.
The enlargements that have been
made have been possible by the be-
quests and voluntary gifts from per-
sons desiring to aid in the work the
home is doing. The board of trustees
makes the statement that while there
will be no drive for funds, gifts will
be very welcome and such money will
be used in erecting a new dormitory
when the necessary amount is secured.

One of the points in the new code
is that ministers, shall not pilfer each
others sermons.
Can it be that any preacher ever
did anything like that?
Neither must preacher try to lure
away the members of sister church.
Can >it be that any preacher ever
did anything as unsportsmanlike as
that?
1t is almost unthinkable, yet when
law is made to forbid the doing of
something it must be because some-
body has been doing it.
Not all that happens is humorous.
Some is serious, and none the less in
teresting for a that.
The Nations Business, bright mag
azine Of the United States Chamber
of Commerce, prints map showing
the worlds productive capacity.
The United States leads in power
plant capacity-by wide margin. 1t
leads both in the use of coal and cleo
tricity.
Strange it may seem, yet the fig
ures show that the relation between
per capita wealth in America and
ngland is just about equal to the re-
lation between productive capacity in
the two nations.
Another interesting point in this
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1926-07-16

The man or woman who works in the
open shop works whenever the en-
ployers say so and for wages and
conditions prescribed by the employ
ers. Such wage earners have no al
tentative but to accept the conditions
offered because to do otherwise means
to face starvation.
when did Judge Gary or any of
his crew insist that labor receive
proper and adequate compensation !?
We defy him to. quote single in
stance. No steel worker receives an
adequate compensation. None have
ever been consulted as to the mat
ter. They have to take or leave what
ever is offered them.
"Gary and his associates, far from
insisting on adequate compensation,
have gone so far as to wreck the in
ter-church movements drive for funds
when committee of that body dared
to take sides with the unfortunate
steel employees and helped bring to
public attention the un-Christian
methods of the steel barons.

The United States, by comparison
to other countries, literally revels in
commodities!
In the weeks output of various
things we find figures showing that
criminal has something like ninety
chances out of hundred to escape
his proper punishment in the United

Most murderers go unhung, strange
as it may seem.
We probably make more laws than
any other country on earth and we
must excel the world!
In the early West the custom of
cutting notches on ones gun had its
origin.
The evidence of success is not kept
in such plain sight today by our most
efficient criminals, but they have their
records just the same.
Somehow we have got to find way
of being less successful in some
things without marring our records
in other and more desirable ways
But all in all, as we celebrate this
150th anniversary of what was a
rather sizable world event, we. may

BY International News serves
MEXICO CITY, Sept. ~ -
The fast multiplying activities
of radio broadcasting stations
were directly responsible for
both the Florida and Vera Cruz
hurricanes, according to Joaquin
Gallo, director of Tacubaya OBJ
servatory.
Gallo's theory is that the con-
slant emission of short wave
length electrical charges into
the ether by the activity of the
thousands of radio stations
built up an atmospheric tension,
excited the cloud masses and
put them into a condition to
precipitate immense quantities
of water, accompanied by severe
wind and electrical storms.
The director is now engaged
in experiments with a view to
backing up his theory with con-
vincing scientific data on the
subject.
