Improvement
FEES RAISED

WASHINGTON, July AT the rec
ommendation of Sen. James E. Muir
ray the Agricultural Adjustment
the payment to farmers for leveling
irrigated crop land in Montana N.
E. Dodd, chief of the agency, has in
formed Senator Murray that the rate
of 4c per cubic yard formerly allowed
for this type of land improvement has
been increased to &c per cubic yard.
Farmers throughout Montana have
petitioned me for assistance in obtain
ing an increase in the amount al
lowed them by the Agricultural Ad-
jutsment Agency for improving irri-
gated lands" Senator Murray said.
81 took this matter up with the De-
partment of Agriculture, and G. F..
Geissler, director of the western di-
vision, went to the state to make a
survey, AS result of his findings
and my efforts, farmers will now re-
ceive SC per cubic yard for leveling
their crop land and for making other
improvements recommended by the
agency.
Senator Murray announced, how
ever, that the maximum rate of pay
ment per acre for this improvement
has been set at $500. He pointed
out that Montana has 100000 acres
of irrigated and non-irrigated crop
land, and for that reason limit of
$500 per acre was necessary in order
that the limited appropriation made
available to Montana will enable
farmers to carry on other land inn
provement practices recommended by
the department.

Defeat OF AXIS
ALONE WON'T
INSURE PEACE

The military machines of the Axii
Powers must be defeated.
They will be defeated by the mill
tary machines and the psychological
warfare of the political-NOT indus
rial-democracies, which could have
prevented this war-without force.
These democracies, including ou
own country, have not, during the
war ended the conditions and the con
trolls which held them back from pre-
venting this war.
Another war always threatens dur.
ing any war, unless the economic
causes of war are ended during the
conflict and these causes are being
entrenched here, in this war.
This war is worldwide revolution
against the profit-system-scarci
omy, against narrow nationalism, and
against clerical domination-with the
real rulers of both Britain and Amer
lea strongly anti these three revolu-
lions.
From 1888 to 1941, commercial en-
ployment increased by only fraction
of the unemployed
The New DEAF was a costly effort
to bail out the "Old DEAL by defici-
teering, and the war is apparently try
ing to bail out both.
The increase in income from net
rents and royalties during the New
Deal" decade to 1912 was more than
six times the decrease in interest on
government and non-government debt.
So-called democracy" has largely
degenerated into the science of pass
ing the buck to Providence, and the
bill to posterity.
Seventeen corporations, of the 85
indicted by the government for viola
ton of antitrust and other laws, with
cartel affiliations, had in
1912, assets of some $8.2 billion-or
about one-ninth of total assets of all
domestic manufacturing corporations.
A poll of the 500 seniors of New
York City College, taken the last
week of May, showed $40 believe

of Nursery Schools

unusually interesting program,
Mrs. Louis Corbeille, vice presi-
dent, presiding. Mrs. Charles
Lamb told OF the work of the
Woodruff Nursery School. She
told OF the need for expansive
services due to the war, having
TO deal with realities and emer.
gencies. The school started as
WPA project during the depres-
sion and did much to meet the
needs OF that time-the problems
being insecurity and emotional up
sets, lack OF good food, fuel and
clothing. In general nursery
schools offer a happy, sunny place
to play. good food, suitable rest.
medical supervision, opportunity
for social adjustments gained in
a group. Social habits. Mrs. Lamb
said, are easier TO change at two
than at five years. The problems
now are no less than in the days Of
relief but very different. Govern
ment aid Is now available for nur-
sery schools set up in public
schools and other local agencies
that have accepted the responsible.
ity that some children OF school
age must also be taken care OF
out OF school hours. Some mothers
have TO work to support their chill
dren and others whose husbands
are in service cannot get along
on government pay she pointed
out. At the Woodruff nursery
school the schedule has had to be
changed from the six hour day to
a day and night continuous ses-
sion. open from $50 Monday morn.
ing until $3.50 Sunday morning.
Some children who attend the
school rotate shifts in accord with
their mothers hours OF work. In
most cases children who are left
at the school late in the afternoon
remain until their mothers have
had their rest and are called for
Aalt III the neat forenoon. Inc
children are divided into age
divided into age groups-two to
three. four to five and Of school
age up to nine years.
Mrs. Lamb stressed that the
mothers who must work are thus
enabled to give their children
good care at low cost, due to gov
eminent aid. and some do an ex-
cellent job of caring for them at
home; but some mothers who stay
at home do not meet their respon-
sibilities and their neglect leads to
delinquency.
At the business meeting one new
member was admitted, Mrs. Martin
Este. Appeals were made for help
in the surgical dressing work at
Ann Arbor, Jan. IL, 10, 10 and 20.
