activities with auxiliaries of other
unions; preach labor in other women's
organizations; build loyalty by actual
service to individuals and families in
special need; have enough social &C
tivities to warm the hearts and keep
the organization active and familiar;
plan for educational work; get to-
gether for the organization of teachers
and office workers and create home

SaccO and Vanzetti
S h all Not Die!
BY HARVEY O'CONNOR.
Federated Press)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Overnight
Herbert Hoover has become the big
gest figure in Republican national po-
litics. For Hoover is the tombstone
whose actions within the next few
weeks will tell whether Calvin Cool
idge has been jerked out of the race
for the 1923 presidential nomination.
If the secretary of commerce de-
cides actively to enter the lists for
the White House competition in 1928,
then the country will know that the
silent but powerful figures backstage
in the Republican party have given
Cal the hook and that Hoover is the
heir apparent.
Serious Talk
Two weeks ago the secretary of
commerce visited the president to re-
port ostensibly on the Mississippi
flood situation, but they are known to
have gone over the 1928 political
ospects very carefully. I'M
mediately after the conference a re-
port was given wide circulation that
Coolidge would not be a candidate
again and that Hoover would be
given his official benediction as crown
prince with full rights to ascend the
throne on March A, 1929. Hoover of
course denied the reports "out of a
sense of loyalty" to his chief.
Cal to Colorless.
But at that conference it may have
been agreed on that Coolidge would
announce his withdrawal from the
1928 race and hand over the tremen-
dously powerful political machine of
the administration to Hoover. If that
was the decision, then it becomes GER
tain that the financial and industrial
kings who control the G. O. P. have
either decided that Cal isn't strong
enough to run over the third term
tradition or that he can't be trusted
with leadership of the government
during the quadrennium 1929-33
which may be a most difficult and
''~-'nr term, if certain Jeremiahs on
Wall Street are to be believed.

clouds on the horizon, of tremendously

clan, is the man who fills the bill.

Farm Labor Supply Shows
Unemployment.
The larger supply of farm labor
this year than last year is seen by
the economists of the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture as reflection of
the lower volume of industrial en-
ployment. They report farm labor
supply and demand in close balance,
with farm labor plentiful in ~ parts
of the country except the north and
south Atlantic states.
Farm wages, according to the re-
port, are down slightly compared
with last year. The average wage
per month with board this July was
$3.50 against $36.10 in July 1926.
Wages per month without board are
S49.54 against S49.89; per day with
DOdru p1.O5 against pl.5IS anu wages
per day without board S244 against
SEAS a year ago. Farm wages are
now "a per cent above pre-war.

culture from 13,475 farmers in all

INCREASED PRODUCTION MEANS POVERTY
FOR FARMS, AGRICULTURAL REPORTS SAY

Increased productivity is as char
acteristic of agriculture as of manu-
facture, Secretary, c. j. Brand of the
National Fertilizer Association tells
the North Carolina farmers. Brands
figures suggest that depressed farm
prices, the trek of the farm popula-
ton to the cities and industrial un-
employment all result from the fact
that producers are penalized for their
productivity.
Increased utilization of power and
fertilizer are cited by Brand as i'm
portant causes of the expanding pro-
ductivity Of the farm population. In
1850 farmers used IA horsepower per
worker, in 1925 As horsepower per
worker, an increase of more than
200 per cent. Between 1880 and 1926
the consumption of fertilizer grew
from 100000 to 100000 tons.
Brand points out that the land util-
lied per farm worker has increased
from, 20 crop-acres in 1880 to 33 crop
acres in 1926. Production of grain
per man-acre. has increased from 49,
900 lbs. to $4,000 lbs. Since 1890 far
mers ehave increased their yields of
wheat II per cent, oats IA per cent
and potatoes 80 per cent. Cores
ponding gains are indicated in hogs
and eggs.
American farmers" says Brand,
produce more per man than do the
farmers of any other country, a fact
which many critics of socalled rural
inefficiency overlook, but production
per acre in some crops is not as high
as in other countries because farmers
are not using the optimum amount of
plant food.
"Our average yield is only Is
bushels, but we use only lbs. of
plant food per acre on the average
while Holland produces Al bushels
with 1913 lbs. of plant food per acre
and England 81 bushels with 10 lbs.

AUTO MACNATES START MAKING DETROIT

DETROIT, Aug z (FP).-Because
women can do the semi-skilled work
of running punch presses and drills
in the auto factories, men are being
laid off to join the mob of unem-
ployed Detroit workers. Women are
given the jobs because the prevailing
wage for them is 20 to 80 cents an
hour lower for the same work. De-
troit is beginning to take on the as
poets of "she-town" in which the
woman works out and the man looks
