Then this courageous man who has sacrificed his practice and position to help out the lowly cropper opened up the book of the future. I've must end this vicious system of share-cropping. It Is little less than slavery. The cne solution is a vast system of small homesteads for these 1and- less workers. The government has the money in hand now to start buying up tracts of land and sub-dividing them into ten and twenty acre plots for these croppers and tenants. If the Bankhead Bill is passed 1t will put the great project on a firm basis America must make up her mind now whether she will turn into a land of great holdings with slave worker5 or become a nation of small, independent farmers who can become useful. intelligent citizens"
 Today in Arkansas these ten- ants and croppers have no vote and no way of protest except through their underground union. The last session of the State Leg islature passed law that permits only those who have both their 1885 and 1884 poll tax slips to vote. It is . virtual disfranchise- ment Of all toilers. It gives back to the old-time. black-hatted. pis- tol-toting political boss the power that controlled-voting has for long put into his inefficient and grating hands.

There was no dis crimination between white and colored members. Soon test case of tenant-ejection was carried to the Arkansas Supreme Court and a verdict given for the plantation owner.
 In Poinsett, and adjoining counties bodering the Mississippi and near Memphis, there were probably 300 and more croppers and ex-tenants thrown out of their homes. Those who were known to be union members were ordered off without ceremony. Preacher Rodgers was arrested in Marked Tree and fined $$50O and six months in jail for alleged se- ditious remarks at a union meet ing.

 asked him for some exact figures regarding tenancy in the south. He read from an official report: in 13 cotton states there were 1,091,944 white families and 69S,839 colored families on the land. One-third of the whites were croppers and one-half the colored families. Seventy per- cent or all the farms in the south were farmer by tenants. The problems the cotton states faced were worn-out soil, q single cash crop, race prejudice and a tradi- tion of shiftlessness. The tenant and share-cropper system was brought on after the Civil War when the southern owner no long, CT had his slave labor and little or no money. The average in- come of the share-cropper is $21O, a year, or 57 cents per day. Many of the children get no aducation whatsoever, and few more cul- tural advantages than natives i n thu center of Africa. More than 300,000 cropper and tenant farm-, CTS have been forced off the land by the As reduction plan.

It was, too much of a temptation to most of the owners and com panies who through the lean years had borrowed so much money that they were practically bankrupt. Ways of reducing ten- ants to the statue of share-crop- pers, and croppers to day laborers were found, and troublesome men were put out of their houses-all in direct opposition to the govern ment contracts.

T,HE Magyars had scarcely set- \ tied in Europe, in the region that is now Hungary. when one of their earliest leaders. Geza. fourth duke of Hungary, saw a vision of the martyred St. Stephen. The saint told the ruler he would have a son who would continue the work the duke had begun.
 That son. named for the great saint. soon won the admiration and aid of Pope Sylvester. for he spread Christianity throughout his dominions and improved the lot of his people. For this work. the Pope recognized Stephen as king of Hungary and sent him a crown and a cross to be borne be- fore him. Devoted to the church, throughout his reign. stephen be- came one of the most beloved rulers of Hungary.

When to Pick

When garden flowers are picked,
they will last longer if the picking
is done before the sun is high, and
while the stems are full of mois-
ture. If there is any doubt, flowers
should be placed in a bucket OF
water, to absorb moisture, before
being arranged in bowls or vases.
