,stry !srmer produces more Of that
commodity and the markets are
glutted at low prices.
For the FIRST time in history, intelE-
gent steps arc being taken by our
Government to keep farmers from
competing with each other and to
compel them to work together to con-
troll production and so make farming
a profitable business for all engaged
in 1t.
Mr.. Hyde is right in saying that the
farmers of America face in the com.
ing years as stern test as ever faced
our forefathers.
CIVILIZATION
Human progress consists In the
multiplication of human wants and of
the means to supply the new neeis.
The man who wants nothing we call
a savage. He is at liberty tc live in
the wilds and enjoy life in his own
way. The process which We call civil
ization consists in tempting tine savage
with commodities which appeal to him
so that he will exchange his labor for
them.
The next step is to teach him to
want things so badly TIA. he is will
ing to live under the rules of the COM
munity where they are to be had.
The trouble with many folk in
America today is that tnsy want things
without being willing to pay the price,
either in labor or in obedience to TIE
community law. The old law Of the
Pilgrim Fathers, "He who does not
work shall not eat" is not sufficiently
enforced. Too many parents arc let
ting their boys and girls 'fhave good
time" instead of going to work when
they have finished school. II is from
this irresponsible leisure class that
most of the criminals develop, accord
ing to the Police Commissioner of
New York.

The Great War which began the ntxt
year, Frederic c. Pen6eld, American
Ambassador to Austria Hungary, at
tended tea-party in Buda- Pest,
given by the Archduchess Maria
Theresa and attended by many OF the
highest Of the Hungarian nobility.
IF you were all to be deprived oil
your titles, estates and fortunes, what
would you dol" Mr.. Penfeld asked.
There was silence for minute or
two. Then the archduchess answered.
81 do not know what we would do,
but can tell you one thing We would
not do" she replied. wv: would not
complain"
The man who toll me- OF the in

was at that party. He has good JOB
in New York and oaly few intimate
friends know that ne had high title
and great estate in his native
Hungary. Like the rest, he lost all,
but he does not complain. The Arch
duchess was right. They are talking
their medicine and smiling at the doss.
That is true nobility.

COMMUNISTS

? A group of Communist agitators
tried to hold public meeting on the
stepS of New York's City Hall the
other day. They had neglected to
obtain q permit for a public meeting
and the police dispersed them. They
fought the police and some of them
got broken heads. Many half-baked
thinkers see in that episode an ex-
ample OF tyranny.
Il was rather an example of the
Communists' lofty disregard for all
che laws Of civilized nations. Their
record in Russia proves that their
whole scheme of government is more
Nrannical than the worst Of the Cars.
Every American citizen has the right
% agitate for a change in the laws
Or the Constitution itself. There is
% place in America for those Who
leach disobedience to law.
