Continued from last week)
MON" Callahan's health broke
in 1933-the toll Of endless toll on
the farm. Hurshel Callahan realiz-
ing the seriousness of the situa-
ton, as also the children, did ev-
erything within their power to
doctor and nurse the faithful and
devoted wife and mother back to
health. The lady was kept constant
ly under the care of DR.. Hall Of
Plentywood, who told Hurshel at
the first examination, that "Mon"
could never work again, and that
she had to have a complete rest
and should be taken to q lower al
titude. The Galatians could not
take her to a lower altitude but
made their plans accordingly.
Now, besides keeping the farm
going during the bad years, feed
ing and clothing themselves, the
Galatians had to face the added
expense of "Mom's" illness, and
not the least, the loss of her la
Dor in the running and managing
of the home which was no small
part of the enterprise. But this
the Galatians did. The expense Of
MONS" treatment and incident
ais Herewith has already cost the
family over $S,OOO-but has been
earned.
The Galatians looked forward to
taking "Mom" aWav during 1893.
but the crop was a complete fail-
ure, and things did not break 50
that it could be done. So they did
the best they could do for "Mom"
on the farm, relieving her Of the
work, and keeping her under the
doctors care, with all doing Cv.
erything to ease her mind and
make life pleasant.
Of course each year there was
the hope of a crop, that the drouth
would finally break, that times
would get better and the prices
rise, when things could be done. In
1884 the crops failed again com.
pletely, there not ever being hay
for the milk cows, or feed for the
chickens. This made it necessary
to import hay. The Galatians were
still trucking and dealing in fruit
from the Yakima Valley, Wash
ington. It occurred to HurShel that
it would be just about as cheap to
cake 'Mom" and the family and
the cattle out west for the winter,
and as MONS" health was grow
ing worse, and upon receiving the
following letter from DR.. Hall,
this idea became a decision.

SOCIALIST ARMIES
READY TO DEFEND
SPANISH VICTORY
Delayed Special Cable to
New York CALL

MADRID-Ready to guard the
victory of the Socialist bloc at the
Spanish polls against a reaction
airy coup d'etat, disciplined So
cialist troops were mustered in
all parts of Spain by their leaders.
Anticipating any eventuality, So
ciaist leaders were frank in de-
claring that any reactionary move
against the leftist victory was
doomed to defeat.
Meanwhile sunny Spain basks in
the warmth of the anti-fascist VIC
tory.
Though the reactionaries contin-
ued with their predictions of tri-
umph even until after the votes
were all in, it soon became appar-
ent that the united radical front
of Socialists, Republicans, COM
munists, and even the non-political
syndicalists, had achieved a sweep
s.. triumph.
INTO
THE STREETS
The masses poured into the
streets with joy, prepared to re-
peat the heroic struggle of Octo-
be 1884 if necessary. The deter
mination of labor forces to pro-
tect the gains made at the polls
was evidenced by the aggressive
mass action of the people as jails
now harboring heroes of the Octo-
Der revolution were stormed.
The left coalition, headed by
the Socialist leader Largo Cabal-
lero and the Republican, Manuel
Azana, is assured of a majority OF
the 473 seats in the Cortes. Run
off elections to be held on March
1 will assure the Socialist-Repub-
lican bloc of safe majority.

EDITORIAL

The Tribune did not publish Governor
Cramer's letter to the Jackson-Day Dinner,
nor the Committees resolution because the
Committee did not furnish us the copies.
Our only reason for mentioning this is to let
our readers know that we have never refus-
ed to print anything for the Committee.
A second reason for this note is to let our
readers know that our editor is supporter
of President Roogev and
member of the Democratic group
who selected Mr.. Berg as delegate
to the National Democratic Convention and
gave him his credentials with specific in
struetions to vote for Mr.. Roosevelt as the
Democratic candidate for President We
dared to take stand for the democrats
and for Mr.. Roosevelt when the RepubE-
cans were yet In power.
Today, of course, Mr.. Roosevelt holds
the billion dollar purse strings and one has
only to wink an eye or raise finger and
numerous people will shout ROOSEVELT If
the Republicans should step into power at
the coming election they will hail the new
chief with as much sincerity as they do
Roosevelt.
We publish today the revised program
for Secretary Ickes' visit to ST. Croix. 1t
