Not Afraid State
Valley Field Laborers

ever been 'sloughed'?" The man
admitted he himself had never been
molested, but made vague remarks
toward actions of Phoenix officers
in controversies there. His basis
was hearsay.
Trimmed down, the average field
laborer appears TO be fairly salts
fled with his lot. He would not
be afraid to join workers organi-
zation, but he doesn't want to be
the first, for vague fear of reprisal.
He is not afraid of 1.-The law eX-
cept in an underhanded, intangible
way. His chief criticism of employ
ers is the rapidity with which they
call in the law in case of con-
troverSy.
Don't Want Trouble
With backWoods logic, the aver
age laborer declares:
I'VE. don't want any trouble All
we want is chance to make a
living. If we ask for more wages,
in a quiet, mannerly sort of way,
with absolutely no thought of vio-
lence, the first thing we know the
law has shown up and men with
guns are on the field. That gives
US sort of funny feeling, even
though we know darned well the
law isn't going to do anything. 1t
makes us feel as though we have
been accused unjustly as danger
ouS'."
A group of men, typical of those
surveyed, sat on the running boards
of several cars in a makeshift camp
and discussed agitators.
Have you ever met real 'agita-
tor'?" they were asked. A man who
had been in the valley six years
answered.:
Several, but none within the
last two years.
Of the men who had been Workin g
in the valley only season or two
none could recall any who might
be called real agitators, although
a good number had suggested that
the laborerS organize peacefully.

A similarity in names and two

The prisoner, held in Jail in lieu
of $1,000 bail, in March received

James w. Barton, old age security

 Generally speaking cultivation of excellent health habits will cure the annoying little defects that mar otherwise ideal beauty.
 One who gets outdoor exercise every day, eat sensibly,. sleep eight hours every night and is meticulous- ly clean, isn't likely to have problem hair, nails that split or blemished skin.
 Exercise which stimulates sluggish circulation and sends the blood stream rapidly through the veins keeps the pores of the face from getting clogged and failing to do their normal work. The diet that in- cludes calcium-rich milk and or ange juice, salad greens and fresh vegetables which are rich in min erals and vitamins keeps nails from splitting and encourages hair to be thick and shiningly healthy. And sleep, of course, is the greatest beau. tifier of all.
 In the first place, no woman who is tired and sleepy looks or feels her best. The skin of 8 tired individual has a faintly grayish cast. Furthermore, she isn't likely to feel especially well. And seldom does anyone look one bit better than she feels.
 It is important, of course, that you get not only a reasonable num- Der of hours of sleep each night. but that the sleep you do get is of the restful. vitalizing variety. Your bed ought to be absolutely comfort able, the room well ventilated, the covers light though warm, the sheets smooth and well tucked under the

Promotes SeIf-Pity

This is the point I wish to make today about the young adolescent. There is danger that his attitude is more on the recipient side than the side of work or donation. He accepts sacrifice and service to him very complacently. This is soften ing. It prolongs immaturity.
 My suggestion is to have this young fellow or girl step right up and work. They must HELP with tasks. They must HELP themselves. They must be concerned about oth- CT peoples privileges, to look out in- stead of in, and forget their com- plete convenience and comfort a little. They must not coax for money or privileges too hard to pro- vide. Above all, they must cease being too sorry for themselves.

or acquaintances. But this has had the i'll effect, I believe, of turning everything in the child's world into grist for his own mill.
 I must digress a little more. The humanitieS for the child are of comparatively recent origin. Up to a century ago there were few homes, for instance, for the destitute chil- dren of any land. There were no organized "Children's Aid" societies. No effort to make the sick child well, to look out for the orphaned or uncared for. Not even any way to feed these last or clothe them except by the accidental interest of a kindly heart.
 mention all this to show that the reaction has been great. Never in all the worlds history has any renaissance been so complete. In America it has been extraordinarily so. There is not another country today that focuses attention on its children of all ages the way we do here. It is good work and one calculated to make 8 finer and bet ter citizenry than we have ever known, aside from the purely hu- man side of it.
 Very well then. I have lived to observe many things. One, I believe, fs ominous.
 It would be strange if growing children and young people had not absorbed this concentration of ours on their destinies. They have absorbed it. Many are In danger of being entirely ruined by 1t. By and large, there is vast army of adoIescents immature in responsibil- 1ty and selfhelp. ready to feel quite sorry for themselves when theif ambitions are not realized. or the world has failed to continue for them what 1t s6 nobly started.
