COULEE DAM

Picture 10000 wild horses STAN
peding down steep 1S-foot lane,
plunging faster than mile a min
ute in a headlong furious mass.
Suddenly the lane narrows and
curves in an increasingly Tightening
spiral, but the foaming wild horses
rage on and on until they lunge
against a 1,500-ton obstruction.
Under the impact the obstruction
moves, revolves, trapping the wild
horses, and robbing them of their
energy as the giant wheel whirls
faster and faster. 120 revolutions
per minute, 130 miles an hour.
The equivalent of the 10000
wild horses will roar down lane of
concrete and steel, inside Coulee
Dam, some time next month. They
will crash against the largest tur-
hine wheel ever built, turn the larg-
est shaft ever constructed, set in
motion the largest rotor ever assem-
bled, spin it against the largest
stator ever designed, and turn the
$50, 900 horsepower into the great
est amount of electricity ever pro-
duced in one generator, itself a
third larger than any heretofore
built
The 100000 wild horses will be-
come 10S, 900 kilowatts of power.
The 1OS,000 kilowatts is the pow
er that one giant generator at
Coulee will produce next month. A
month later another generator that
would supply another ssTacoma will
wild horses tanned and put to work.
And a month after that another gen
orator, capable Of powering a third
Tacoma, will go on duty. Then more
and more until in all Is generators,

Some indication of the extensive

figures on Metropolitan's activities.

1887, 10 million bushels of corn, 5
million bushels of wheat, 6 million
pounds of peanuts, and one million
pounds Of tobacco along with other
items. To operate it's chain Of more
than 1000 separate farms it employs
a rowing corps of more than $50 SUI
pervisors and agricultural experts. In
the state of Iowa alone 1t sold farms
worth more than 100000 in the
year 1899.
The insurance companies maintain
a powerful lobby through the Associ-
alton of Life Insurance Presidents
The SEC reports that the association
participated in the litigation testing
the constitutionality of the Frazier
Lemke Act. :. which 1t had opposed
unsuccessfully in the congress" 1t

War Department
|Halts Missouri
Land Purchases

| WASHINGTON. - A petition has
been sent to Congress by farmers III
st. Charles County, Mo-, stating that
they are ''in dire distress" because
| OF the action suddenly taken by the
War department in halting payments
to them for land acquired under the
national defense program. Their land
was being bought as site for the
Weldon Spring TINT plant.
Farmers state that they "surrend-
cred possession of their property to
the government" and waited with i'm
plicit faith payment of the prices
agreed upon" only to hear later over
the radio that the War department
decided to repudiate the contracts in
favor of condemnation procedure
Farmers point out that many of them
had vacated their land and sold their
livestock, implements and equipment.
Senator Clark of Missouri declared
that the War department acted
through sole agent whom it agreed
to pay percent of the cost price and
another II percent to the Kansas
City Title Company under an exclu-
sive contract for title services.
Senator Clark termed the War de-
partment's arrangement IAN intoler-
able outrage upon the government"
and stated that he had early warned
1t against purchasing land in this
manner. When it's agent refused to
accept a reduction on its contract
from percent to percent the War
halted the program in
although the farmers in
sist that they are being penalized for
the War departments mistake. Half
the land has already been paid for by
the government, but according to
Senator Clark the unpaid farmers jeo-
pardized by this move are small land
owners whose titles go back in some
cases to Spanish land grants.

Urge Farmers To
Support Farm
Equipment Workers

ST. PAUL, MIMI Ex-Gov. Elmer
A. Benson of Minnesota and Charles
d. Egley, manager Of the Farmers
Union Livestock Commission recent
ly made radio speeches In support
of workers at Allis- Chalmers and the
International Harvester Corporation.
Both speakers asserted that the farm
ers have every reason to side with
labor.
Egley pointed out that In 1913 the
farmer had to raise 261 bushels of
wheat to pay for a binder which at
that time cost him 1857. By 1910 he
had to raise SIT bushels of wheat to
costs $340 Although the implement
manufacturers put on an advertising
campaign, claiming that higher wages
would mean higher prices for farm
machinery, the speakers pointed out
that International Harvester Company
a total profit of s23,161,11 as COM
pared with its 1889 profits of $685.
$40.
Il feel that it's high time," Egley
said that farmers and workers get
together to fight their common enemy
who is exploiting both of them. Ger
tainly some of the $23,000,000 profit
made by this institution last year
should be passed on to farmers in
the form of lower prices on their farm
machinery and another part to the
workers in the plant now on strike
for decent living conditions In the
form of higher pay"
Ex-Governor Benson warned farm
ers to be on guard against any at
tempt to raise farm machinery prices |

of the companies as "the

A Thread Of
Understanding
BY MOLLY PITCHER

So you think that Harry Bridges
should be deported. You've read the
inflammatory headlines in the morn
ing newspaper; perhaps you've even
read the column beneath the head
line, altho that, of course, didn't give
you any essential facts or background
material-it wasn't meant to. But,
nevertheless. Harry Bridges is an
alien agitator who should be de-
ported
Alright, I'll argue the case with you.
Let's be technical. you say he's
an alien; let's see. On April goth,
1920. Bridges entered the. United
States by way of San Francisco, pay
ing his So head tax and thus making
himself a legal entrant. Some time
later he became the proud possessor
of his first papers. Thirty-two days
before the expiration date, he filed
for his second papers, but through a
slip-up somewhere it was claimed that
his application came a few days late
So Bridges started all over again with
his first papers, but during that pc
riod of unemployment he, like many
other non-citizens, lacked the twenty
dollars to go ahead with naturaliza-
ton. Since his last deportation hear
ings he has tried again, unsuccessful
ly, to obtain the vital papers which
seem to make all the difference as to
whether he has rights or no rights.
1t all depends, then, ON whether you
hold technicalities above honest inten-
tions.
But, you say, he's a communist.
After a thorough study of the case,
Dean Lands, of Harvard University
on December 28th, 1889, pronounced:
"The evidence therefore establishes
neither that Harry r. Bridges is a
member of. nor affiliated with, the
Communist Party of the United States
Of America" But just supposing that
Dean Lands knows less than Hearst
ian headlines; just suppose Bridges
Of the Communist Party; just sup
pose. Let us take cognizance of the
TACT that this has been and up to the
present time still is legal party in
The United States and as a legally
recognized party, man is SUP |
POSED TO have the legal right to
De its member.
But all the same, you insist, he is |
IN agitator. +. he was responsible |
or the West Coast strike of 10000 |
ongshoremen in 1884. Remember |
conditions before the strike: about |
'10.45 was the average weekly wage |
or this hazardous and laborious work. |
Only about 1870 of the available men |
,ver got anything like steady work; |
he other 500 were used as a club |
wages down, and even at that, men
lucky enough to be chosen for jobs
lad to kick back" ten or fifteen per-
cent of their wages to straw bosses.
That's all changed now. All West |
Coast longshoremen average $1,750 |
They own little homes and |
rive cars; they're proud citizens be-
ause Harry Bridges helped them to
,ecome SO.
Harry Bridges has saved the tax
ayers money: since 1894 no Pacific
,oast longshoreman has ever been on
elief But huge sums of taxpayers
money have gone for trials to prove
'ridges undesirable. Yes, very unde-
irable-to Big Business in general,
nd the shipping companies in par

TYPEWRITER RIBBONS
AND CARBON PAPER

| G. u. tested Ill ribbons, 80 brands
of carbon paper, to find out which
brands give best value Tests were
made ON an electrically operated type
writer, with constant touch and using
tipping sheets of standard quality.
Ribbons were tested to see how long
they would give legible impression
and how fast they filled up the type.
Cartons were tested both for wear
and manifolding quality.
c. U. found that ribbons for stand
ard machines are generally better
than portable ribbons. Users of port
ables can get better value by buying
standard ribbons and winding them
on portable spools.
In buying carbon paper, weight and
finish should be considered, as well
as quality There's real economy in
suiting the paper to the typist and
the job to be done. For example, a
typist with heavy touch will need
hard-inked carbon paper. A typist
making many copies has to use light
weight. A chart published in C. U.
Reports suggests the proper weights
and inkings for most office jobs.
Best Buys Of the typewriter ribbons
were Mittag e. Volger No. 1000 ($1);
Mittag & Volger No. 900 (50c); and
Old Town Tan Box (50c) Best Buy
carbon sheets were Tablet and Kreko.
CARE OF FURNITURE
Go easy on your furniture, C. U.
advises in its April issue. Furniture
can be more quickly ruined by over
care than by neglect. A daily oil soak
such as many housewives give may
penetrate beneath the finish and
cause notified, pimply spots.
Many of the cheap polishes sold
from door to door by street vendors
contain solvents, which make your
furniture look shiny but remove part
of the finish every time they're used.
Others have harsh abrasives which
will scratch the furniture.
Wash your furniture carefully with
neutral soap twice year. polish twice
a month, G. u. advises. Here's sim
pie polish formula, easy to make and
costing not more than SOC year to
use:

combating such propaganda is with a

good sound common sense. Given the
opportunity to answer such blather as
that broadcast by these propaganda

to fear from their yaporizing, for the
