Action Ry The National Grange

The 68th annual session of the
national grange just held at Hart
ford, Conn. broke all records in
point of attendance and interest.
and outlined a program of progress
for the farmers and rural people of
the United States which must be
far-reaching in it's beneficial eff
fects. Thirty-four states were rep
resented at the session, reaching
from cd lst to coast, and the total
numbei of members attending was
in excess of 10000; furnishing new
evidence of the vitality and power
Of the grange, the oldest and larg-
est farm organization in America
and the only farm fraternity in the
world. Below will be found sum-
mary Of the most important policies
adopted by the national grange at
Hartford:
Lifting farm prices: by bal
ancing production to consumptive
demands; developing cooperative
marketing to the fullest practical
extent; research methods to discov-
er new uses for farm products, and
by the restoration as far as possible
Of our foreign markets. BY preserv-
ing the American market for the
American farmer on all products
that can be advantageou produc-

of the grange is thus defined: ITO

of production plus reasonable
profit, SO that restored farm pur-

Spreading relentlessly, the ia

has been burning for more than so
years in Perry county, is moving in
on the little town of New Straits

Several fortunes have been spent
in an effort to stem the fire which
now covers six square miles in the
Hooking valleys finest coal field. 1t
is estimated that the fire has de-
stroyed so million dollars worth of
coal.
Operators OF mines in the area
and citizens in the vicinity Of New

the government will make con-
centrated effort to box up the fire
now that surveyors for the United
States bureau of mines are check
ing the fires extent with view to
determining feasible plan for
stopping the advance into new and
valuable coal areas.
Although no definite plans have
been evolved, it is believed the fed

from the Public Works Administra-
tion, to be used in battling the in

The bidding is according to the

DAYS when we we're definitely a sub
ject race. That it should have sur
vived into an age when a woman
is a member of the Presidents cab
met is somewhat astonishing. Wom-
en-, nowadays, whatever else you say
about it, are people.
- So women are cigaret addlctS,
are they? Aren't women also sacrl-
fetal heroines, defenders of the mis-
Judged and the noblest little lot of
martyrs you ever saw? For you
may trust a man who sets women
off as a race apart to do one thing
he will set crown of thornS on
the broWs of the women every time.
He may deny them the vote or
every other human right, but ne
will pat them on the back and call
them Gods own saints.
There are, actually, only two
schools of thought on the man
versus woman question. There is
the school which holds that we are
nine-tenths different.
There is the other school, which
believes that our common human
ity explains nine-tenths of the
makeup of any of us and that the
sexual difference accounts for the
remainder. We are, in a word, go
per cent human, 10 per cent wom-
an. And why emphasize the 10 per
- cent?
I have known good many men
girl and woman. have found them
oppressed by the same troubles and
subject to the same major weak
ness as women. We have, no
doubt, our own special set Of diff
culties, but in the broad sweep of
human events we are pretty much
in the same boat.
So why insist on the distinction?
The fact that a person has red
hair rather than black is of a GER
tain interest. So is the matter of
weight.
But before I care to hear about
these physical details I wish to
learn whether that person is inter-
esting or congenial.
Then you can tell me what is
that persons sex.

IT'D rather have a child in Rus
i STA than anywhere else in the
world. You don't have to have
certificate, stamped by a notary,
to prove it had father"
Aha! You will say a Commu-
mist! But, no; it's only Miss Ger
trude Hutchinson of the United
States, who has spoken. Her
statement shouts ringing chal-
lenge to our barbaric leanings in
the matter of LEGITIMACY.
Talk about progress! Talk about
enlightenment! Talk about Chris
tianity! Why our attitude toward
the infant born out of we'd
lock marks us as more backward
than any up and coming medley
alist. 1t doesn't possess the faint
est glimmer of common sense
either.
Naturally SO long as we have
the present kind of social system,
it will be desirable for our babies
to have both a father and a
mother. The point to remember,
however, is that right now a good
many of them actually have
neither.
Certain types of American men
seem to have little sense of re-
sponsibility for their legitimate
offspring, and none whatever to
the casual infants they sire. And
more girls than we realize aban-
don, give away, get rid of their
children by some means or other.
In short, the value we put upon
the child in this country must
occasionally strike the observing
individual as rather lopsided.
Somehow we do not seem to see
the live human entity, the baby,
at all. We see only the moral code
which its coming broke or to
which it conformed.
Hence, with the desperation of
weaklings and a betrayal of all
that is fine in the human soul we
endeavor to hide, to repudiate,
the unWanted child as a citizen.
If, by dint Of speed, we can get
the parents married before the
stork comes, well and good. We
feel virtuous. We accept the little
thing at its registered valuation.

FAINT suffers.
We can't be bothered with it,
except maybe surreptitiously. It
is an outcast in our society. If it
climbs, it must climb alone, and
against bitter odds.
We talk much about the fine
efforts made in behalf of the in
FAINT population-nor would I
belittle them-but the truth is
that the child, strictly speaking,
has no legal rights whatever in
the United States. And so long as
that is a fact, I shall believe that
