POSITION OF FARMERS

The result is demand for their pro-
ducts and high prices as a conse-
quence. Farmers received $24,000,-
000,000 during 1918 for their pro.

Meantime the increase in production

BALKS AT REVOLUTION

Whether you are in sympathy with

flag.
It has also stood firmly against
the efforts of I. W. W.ism to invade
its ranks and prostitute its cause.
To say this is not to support mis-
taken labor leaders in all their pur-
poses and in all their acts.
It is simply to recognize the dem-
onstrated ^acts.
Labor organized and unorganized
has no more dangerous and distrue-
tive enemy than I. W. W.ism.
What becomes of the right to col-
lective bargaining when the wage
system has been abolished?
What becomes of the ability of cap-
ital to employ labor when all capital
has been abolished?
The American Federation of Labor
under the leadership of its national
heads balks at revolution.
They do not recognizc any right
of affiliation between unionism and
red radicalism in any form.
Wage earners who save part of
their money and who accumulate
savings in homes or land cannot be
bolshevists.
They become part of the dispised
bourgoise or property-owning class,
that the Reds say must be extermin-
ated.
The red extremists are doinig their
utmost to break into the ranks of
unionism and make converts to an-
archy.
They say the products of industries
and the industries themselves belong
to labor because labor creates all
wealth and what it creates it owns.
' Ahrcham Lincoln made rails for
25 cents per hundred but no one but
an I. W. W. would claim that the
rails belonged to the laborer who
made 'em.
At Seattle the Reds tried to trans-
form an ordinary contwsversy over
the Macy Wage Board findings into
-a national revolution.
When the Reds showed their real
purpose, showed the Red Hand, or-
ganized labor became alarmed and
began to think and went back to
work.
Many begin to see dements of con-
servatism in such actions of organ-
ized labor.

Washington, June 3.—An increase
bf fifty per cent in the 1919 enlist-
ment in the Southwestern States Di-
vision of the United States School
Garden Army is recorded, as the
states comprised in the southwestem
division, including Tennessee, Missou
ri, Kentucky, Kansas, Oklahoma, Col-
orado, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas
and New Mexico report 500,000 en-
listments. Not only is there a huge
increase in the enrollment, but the
school and home gardens of the
young gardeners of the U. S. S. G.
Army promise to double in value
when harvested this fall.
Each of the ten states included in
the Southwestern States Division has
introduced gardening as a resuired
subject in the curriculum of the
schools of the state. This has been
done by the formal action of the
State Department of Education. Most
of the larger cities and many of the
smaller ones have introduced garden-
ing in the fourth, fifth and sixth
grades and are giving credits for the
work, just as is done in other sub-
jects. The number of cities that
have conducted gardening operations
under the plan outlined by tho Uni-
ted States School Garden Army is
670, and represents the largest num-
ber of cities doing gardening work
in any region of the United States
All of the larger cities have paid
supervisors, and assistants,, and in
instances where the finances of the
city boards of education has not per-
mitted of an appropriation, many
teachers have volunteered to super-
vise the work.
A large percentage of the popu-
lation of the southwestern states is
rural and not reached by the School
Garden Army activities, but practic-
ally all towns with a population in
excess of 1,500 has taken an interest
in the plans of the garden Army.
In many of the homes in the larger
cities the service flag of the Garden
Army, with its crossed hoe and rake,
is displayed in the windows just as
the Red Cross and Liberty Loan flags
were displayed during the war. In
the larger cities in Oklahoma almost
every other house is displaying its
garden flag,* and the boys and girls
of the families are proudly cultiva-

Diplomacy had always been a royal
game of grab. Each country, in
making a treaty, valued only what
it could grab. All the world was
held in the grip of this game of grab.
Colonies were monopolies from which
foreigners were rigidly excluded. All
of Latin America was held in these
monopolized colonies. Trade with
Asia was a monopoly of two corpo-
rations, the English and Dutch East
India Companies. All international
trade was in the grip of monopolies,
subsidies, bounties, discriminating
taxes, preferences and prohibitary
regulations. Each country discrimin-
ated against foreign ships, but this
was only a part of a general policy
of soaking the foreigner.
Franklin was the original "open
door" diplomat. He offered Franco
an open door in the United States.
French ships and goods were to lie
admitted in our ports on an exoct
equality with the ships and goodj
owned by our own people, paying tl\e
same duties and charges and no more,
if France would give us the same
open door. He was instructed to of-
fer the same terms to Spain and other
European countries. Holland was the
only country that actually accepted
this policy at that time. France be-
came our ally in the Revolution but
went on discriminating against A-
merican ships and goods for nearly
fifty years.
Other diplomats followed up this
policy of Franklin. England accept-
ed it after the war of 1812, and by
1830 all the important countries had
made treaties in which they agreed
to treat American ships the same as
their own, and adopted the Franklin
policy in all duties and regulations
regarding American goods. It proved
a tremendous impetus to the world's
trade. The growth of trade made
a greater demand for labor, and the
condition of the workingman improv-
ed more in fifty years than in the
preceding five centuries. It made
markets for the American farmer,
and markets for all the producing
nations.

ment such as Ben. Franklin would

Doc and Abe tackled Hobo Henry
this A. M. to know the stoutest and
strongest living thing in the world.
Hobo Henry answered readily—"An

things that would not look good in
print. Doc said, "Explain yourself."
Hobo showed them where Jumbo, the
elephant, moved ninety tons, by the
pull of his tail and saved 10,000 lives.
And why he was able to do this was
point a trustee, examine the bank-
