will take its place among the big in
dustries.
In the 3 years 1923-1925, farmers
bought more than $1,000,000,O0O of
machinery. The department of COM
merce comments: "Those farmers
who cannot survive must look to other
lines, just as manufacturers and mer-
chants do who cannot compete sue
cessfully. All progress has had this
result. Workers have been contin-
uously thrown out of employment by
improved methods of production. The
result of this machinery movement
will be to force more people into
towns and Cities"
Individualism Goes.
The industrial revolution in agricul-
ture is on. The manufacturers of
combines are putting their machinery
on the farms without asking any
down payment. The farmers pay half
the price out of the first harvest and
half out of the second. Easy for
those that succeed. Meanwhile the
Coolidge veto serves notice that the
old individualist agriculture will have
no support against the inevitable revo-
luton.

o'clock at night-climbing and slid

When we again reached the top the
third shift was descending. They

went through the Safety Station. =

Russian Hospitality.
We heard the sound of the clat-

horses, coming down the cobbled
streets. There was only one driver
to be found at that time of the morn
