bflfties of launching National
Farmer-Labor party in 1886. with
limitations, however, that no presi-
Dental ticket would be placed in the
field to oppose Roosevelt. Such a
party, IL launched, would confine all
its efforts towards developing and
Strengthening local Farmer-Labor
parties, and campaign for local and
congressional candidates.
1t is rather strange that some Of
the large news gathering agencies car
ried a story to the effect that the
Chicago conference collapsed because
1t was determined not to put pres
idential ticket in the field in 1886.
despite the announced fact that this
very Limitation was imposed upon
the conference before it was called.
The conference was productive Of
very material contributions towards
making possible q 1886 Farmer
Labor party. The Minnesota group,
together with the advisory council
named by the convention, will spend
the next two months contracting var
ious groups and organizations inter-
ested in the establishment of a real
peoples government in America in
the hopes that these important groups
Of liberals will present united front
and join in the calling of conven-
ton.
The chances Of success in that d.
rection are very great. If the Chi
cago conference brought out one
thing it was that the liberals
throughout the country see in Ma
tiOnal Farmer-Labor move en- t.,
backed up by united front of all
liberals, an effective barrier to the
establishment of a fascist dictator
ship in this country. The Black Le-
gion has served as an object lesson;
it has very significant political i'm
plicatiOns. These liberals realize
that If nothing is done by way Of
effecting a united front against the
dark forces of reaction and fascism,
it may be too late to start in 1910.

The statewide school patrol train
ing camp to be opened next month
by the American Legion, with the
cooperation of the state highway de-
partment and other governmental
agencies, should prove a constructive
piece of traffic safety work.
At this camp it is proposed to give
a free week of vacation activities
to two boys from every school patrol
in Minnesota. While enjoying them
selves at Big Lake in Beltrami
county, the youngsters will also re-
ceive a course in traffic safety meth
DDS from officers of the state high
way patrol. They will be taught uni
form, effective methods of helping
get thousands of school children
back and forth to school with the
least hazard from motor vehicles on
the highways and streets.
Minnesota's experience with the
school patrol system has proved 1t is
successful in saving lives, both in
city and rural districts. The train
ing camp should increase the eff
cheney of the patrols and at the same
time provide vacation reward for boys
who win places in the school. FL
nancing will be handled by the Le-
gion and cooperating civic groups.
The instruction in patrol work will
be supervised by the highway depart
ment through its highway patrol.

OBSERVATIONS
BY Cong. ELMER ]. RYAN

The investigation which is being
conducted by the Federal Trade Com
mission of the practices of distribu-
tors of milk and milk products has
uncovered some interesting facts in
connection with the Wisconsin cheese
exchange.
In Plymouth, Wis.,, each week a
small group of men meet for a few
minutes to fix the prices of bulk
cheese for that week.
For fifteen minutes or one-half
hour every Friday these men meet
and determine the price of bulk
cheese which forms the basis of the

be five per cent on the purchases
they made last winter. Gideon Ed
berg, president, announced sales as
100000, earnings as $1,000, and a
80 per cent increase in business. He
pointed out that the mass entrance
Of the consumer into the market is
beginning to have an effect in bring
ing down the price of fuel oil.
To train Twin Cities trade union
lists into more active and more valu-
able organization men, labor summer
schools will be held in both cities
this summer for the first time. The
school will be held in st. Paul from
June IS to July IS, and in Mime
apolis from August to August 20.
Students will be delegates sent by
their respective trade unions, and
will study labor history and labor
economics with a local slant, how to
act as chairmen at meetings, how to
take minutes, how to speak effective
ly, how committees function, how to
read communications, and how to
make reports. The schools are spOn-
sored by trade union conferences on
workers education, which were called
this spring by the educational COM
mittees of the st. Paul Trades and
Labor Assembly and the Minneapolis
Central Labor Union.
The calling of convention to
launch a National Farmer-LabOr
party in 1886 now rests largely with
the Minnesota Farmer-Labor AssOci-
alton. The State Central committee
of the association, with the aid OF
an advisory council of twenty-five lib
eral leaders from various parts Of the
country, are given the job of prepar-
ing the ground work for such a con-
vention, and calling it If it to them
seems feasible.
This, in effect, were conclusions
reached and the action taken by the
conference of liberals held in Chi
cago recently. This conference was
called by the Minnesota group for

The proposed constitutional amend

The purpose of the Federal Trade

to furnish a basis for legislation

John 4:7-19.
Golden Text: Luke 2:14.
The words from the first letter
Of John chosen for our lesson, and
especially the glorious angelic song
set aside as the Golden Text, have
a erene quality reminding one of
that striking phrase of the prophet
Isaiah, "Your strength is quiet
faith"
But some one asks, 'tHow can
we be calm and steadfast this
Christmas when the world is in
such a dreadful condition." First
of all, let us act serenely. We pay
too much attention to our feelings,
and not nearly enough to action.
AS Prof. James reminds us, we
must "sit up cheerfully, look round
cheerfully, and act and speak as if
cheerfulness were already there"
In the second place, we need to
get close to nature, to look often
at the stars and the hills. The
Christmas narrative breathes the
spirit of Gods out-of- doors. And
we must never forget that Jesu,
was a country boy and man. He
knew intimately, as his teaching.

Then again we can find peace OF
