The missionary enterprise is not
dead. for there are still those who
look to the church as the hope Of q
war-torn world. Missionary insti-
tutes held recently in Washington
and other cities have brought inspi-
ration to carry on. The missionary
education groups Of the various local
churches will find material at the
Central Library. Eighth and K

branches to answer such typical
questions as:
How are the foreign missions af-
fected by present-day economic
conditions?"
What is being done to info n
people in general Of the value VI
missionary activities?"
Are there any books giving sue.

York: Robert N. Mcbride &

This is a sensibly prepared book
for older boys who demand ad-
venture but are jaded by CORY radio
programs and pulp magazine horror
stories. For Mr.. Montague C'late Of
the Royal Canadian Mounted Po-
liceD Is a good story teller and
makes his adventures sound pretty
breathless in spite Of their being
harmless enough for young minds.
The author was stationed on the
northern tip Of Labrador and ven
tured out in quest Of excitement,
walrus, caribou, seal, game and q
chance to do q good turn to his
fellow man.
It's all good, clean fun, written
In straight style that should hold
the interest Of boys without insult
ing their intelligence. With maps,
pictures and drawings it's somewhat
instructive, too, but never obtru-
sively so. Ell

The History of on Advertis.
ing Agency 186o-1o39
Ralph M. Ho,0er. Cambridge:

AuEpH M. HODer. CQmOr1dQe.
HARVARD University Press.
The advertising agency is q prin-
cipal artery of modern American
commercial civilization. The cviliza-
ton rests on mass production re-
quiring mass purchasing and the ad-
vertising agency primes the pur-
chasers. A little less than 100 years
ago the agency was in its larval
stage, making 1t easy for publica-
tions to sell their advertising space
The agency bought the space and
sold 1t at profit to advertisers
In order to make this business pay
it preached the need for advertis-
ing, more advertising and ever more
advertising.
Before the 18th century was
three-quarters over the advertising
agency had become something
grander than a mere broker In
newspaper and magazine white
space. N. w. Aver & Sons had
come into existence and N. w. Aver
brought large ideas to the agency
undertaking, and from the found
ing Of the Aver firm In 1869 the
agency began to take on far-reach-
Ing ramifications. The story of the
Aver firm. which even yet is doing
a large business from its offices In
Philadelphia, is the story, really, of
modern America, of the deyelop-
ment of the child of the industrial
revolution into the adult industrial
civilization.
This particular story of Aver is a
monumental work. It is not q pro-
motion piece. Its writing was pre-
ceded by three years of intensive
research by DR.. Hover and his staff.
l3 months of which were spent in
the Aver ofaces. During the prepara-
ton DR.. Hover not only consulted
all the available written data, but
interviewed scores of businessmen
and publishers with whom Aver has
done business, and scores of adj
vertising men and women both in
side and outside the Aver organiza.
tion, so that all sides of every
situation are presented. It avoids
the temptation Of overpraise or over
cenSure.
The real significance Of the book
lies IN its breadth of application.
It is so complete and thorough in its
analysis OF problems which the pub
Usher, advertiser and advertising
agency meet that 1t goes well beyond
the particular tirm about which It
was written. IN

A REAL EXIGENCY

"T'HE science of government is the most abstrusc
Of all sciences; if, indeed, that can be called a
science which has but few fixed principles, and
practically consists in little more than the exercise
of sound discretion, applied to the eXigenc.es Of
the state as they arise. 1t is the science Of cXpcr
iment."
These are the words Of justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States, expressed in 1921
And the sooner some Of our alleged statesmen
get that sort of picture Of what they really
trying to do, the sooner will the American people
get break in the handling Of our national inter-

genceS Of the state as they arise"-that is the
real touch stone. And all Of the fol-de-rol about
the holy words and nvolable principles and vested
interests and the rest of the mystic phrases which
are used to befuzzle the mind, may very we'll be
done without, if our legislators and administrators
can get their brains clear enough to understand
what some Of the eXigencies of the state really
are
Right here, we arise to call attention again to
the fact that there still about ten million un-
employed, who have valid claim to a place in our
economic system besides being on dole" Of some
kind. And that this is a real cxigency of the state

likely to become an eXigency for some other people

ORGANIZED LABOR AND THE
COMMUNISTS

THE influence of the American Federation of
Labor in barring the Communists from affli-
alton with the international labor movement was
forcefully described by President Green of the A
F. of L. in an address before the annual conven-
ton of the American Legion in Chicago.
"The American Federation of Labor Mr.
Green said "is affiliated with the international
Federation of Trade Unions with headquarters
located in Amsterdam, Holland It is Fedora
ton of the Trade Unions of Europe, North
America, Central America and South America
Because only free, democratic Trade Unions, or
ganzed in countries where Labor is free, were
eligible to membership in the international Fed
Grafton of Trade Unions the so-called government
controlled unions of Italy, Germany and Russia
were denied affiliation.
"At Convention of this great Congress OF
Labor which was held at Zurich Switzerland, or
July 5, 1889, resolution was introduced and sup
ported by delegates representing the British and
French Trade-UnlOn movements which called FOL
the acceptance of the Communist Soviet ORed)
Russian union into membership in this internati-
|Onal organization.

knowingly accepted Communists into member

on small farms. Despite marked progress in in
dustrializing fruit and vegetable farming, dairy
farming, despite the extension of the industrial
process back into the sugar beet fields, the cotton
fields, the production, marketing and preserva-
ton of vegetables and small fruits, employers in
these fields are taking up the industrial employ
ers' fight against unionism and labor legislation.
The opposition is generally led by the industrial
farmers who organize in cooperatives for purchas-
ing their own supplies and for marketing their
products. Organization of farmers has been pro-
moted by the Department Of Agriculture with
government funds paying the salaries of organ
zers. These same organized farmers maintain
representatives to oppose labor legislation and Sc
cure exemptions from it and to nullify laws al
ready enacted. The small farmer who is self
employed person hiring traditional farm hands ir
peak seasons is generally omitted from organiZa
tions of industrial farmers. Their interests arc
interdependent with the welfare of industrial
wage earners who constitute the major portion
of the purchasers of their products. The small
farmer should join with Labor in favor Of legis
lation for all who work for wages and thereby
prevent exploitation Of labor as a basis for COM
petition in the markets.
Labor in these neglected areas should also do
Its part and organize for protection and advance
ment of it's interests. Organized support of it's
own interests is necessary for remedial and social
Legislation.

1t has been announced that the
October C. c. c. replacement quota
for veterans in the Cleveland region
is 1922 The probable enrolment pc
riod will be October 1 to 20, 1889.
This quota will be filled without re-
gard to public relief requirements or
certification by relief agency.
Usual eligibility requirements are in
effect, including the restriction pro-
hibiting re-enrollment within six
months from discharge from a pre-
veious enrolment. Those veterans
who have received an administrative
or dishonorable discharge from a
previous enrolment are not eligible
for re-enrollment irrespective of date
of discharge The veterans selected
must be unemployed and in need of
employment.
All applications must be submitted
in duplicate. The endorsement on the
application must bear the signatures
of two responsible persons, giving
their designation or title and organ
ization. If a veteran desires to make
an allotment in behalf of his minor
child or children, the allotment will
be made to someone agreeable to the
veteran and acceptable to the Veter-
ans Administration on behalf of the
child or children. The full Christian
and surname, relationship, age and
address of such allotee will be desig-
mated on the application.
In view of the quota assigned, it is
apparent that favorable consideration
can be given to all applications re-
ceived by October i, 1889. Eligible
veterans who desire to be enrolled
and who have not filed applications
should be directed to do SO immed-
lately.
The fullest publicity in respect to
this enrolment is desired so that all
eligible veterans may have an oppor-
tunity to submit applications.

ATTENTION.! COMMUNISTS

Well, Comrade Stain has embraced
Comrade Hitler. This no doubt has
come as a shock and surprise to that
array of fellow travellers who have
tried to hurry the American workers
into the Communist fold in this coun-
try. They have shouted "Fascist" at
every democrat who has dared to point
out that Russia is no different in struc-
ture, method or intent from Hitler's
Germany. They have used every
adroit and open trick of cheap prop
aganda to belittle the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, and any cooperative
group based on the voluntary principle
when it has tried to stem the tide of
intellectual dishonesty and verbiage
spread by propagandists attached to
the Communist Party. Repeatedly
propagandists have shouted, Russia
is different. Hitler is bad, but Stain
is good. He has quality, and the hope
of the workers and the world depend
upon Comrade Stalin." All this is Of
course simply bunk, an effort to pre-
serve a popular front by distortion
of truth and fact.-Journal of Elec-
trical Workers and Operators.

EXCLUDED WORKERS

IN reviewing our progress in social and labor
legislation, great gaps in coverage stand out as
a most conspicuous limiting feature. Tradition
and custom have played a part in some of these
restricted coverages, while in others special eX-
emptions and widened exclusions are due to Wig
orous and insistent demands upon Congress and
state legislatures The need for labor and social
legislation has been regarded as growing out OF
industrial employment instead of inherent In the
employer-cmploye relationship. SO we find that
agricultural labor is excluded from the benefits OF
accident compensation, old age insurance, unem-
ployment compensation, minimum wage and maxi
mum hour standards, although low incomes r
these fields of work prevent saving against the
emergencies of work and age when physical labor
is no longer possible.
The legal attitude toward employment re-
lationship in these fields has remained unchanged
in spite of drastic technical changes which have
completely transformed the work itself. In farm
ing specialized crops have developed which utilize
procedures developed in industry. This develop
Inent has generally characterized large-sca
farming and is also common for specialized crop
