THE INDEPENDENT FARMER.
The various farm organizations of
the country seem to be agreed on
the program of noncommunion with
the Federation of Labor. A farmer
can't associate the word "labor" with
a leather-lunged party who curtails
production by striking for a six-hour
day. - "I
The farmer is always ready to be
a full producer if the winds and wa
ters will let him.
He is no stickler for hours, and
working conditions bother him but
little. '
If he is on his own place he works
until long after the cows come home.
He will toil as long as any Napol
eon of finance. He hasn't much use
for the selfish creeds of such organi
zations as those backing the coal
strike, and he has nothing but loath

the flag. As there are about 10 of

The, gallant sons of freedom fought
for the preservation of the Justice,
honor, integrity and liberty of every
people.
And these loyal Americans are not
content to see the spirit of Intoler
ance and injustice that they stamped
out in western Europe blossom forth
into a noisome harvest in their own
country. s
The fight which they began at
Chateau' Thierry did not end with
the signing of the armistice.
They returned to their homes car
rying with them the memory of those
whom they left behind, conscious ot
the debt which they owed to their
fallen comrades to keep alive the
spirit that has dominated America
during a century of free government.
And they will not stand idly by
while the forces of radicalism and
rebellion build up in this country
what they demolished beyond the
seas.
Those loyal service men were with
in their rights when they broke up
meetings of I.W.W.'a in different
parts of the country. -
They are bated by the radicals and
Bolshevist emissaries with that un
reasoned hatred to which injustice
alone gives birth.
The fomenters of revolution have f
judged aright that thre members of j
me American region musi pe auiea
off before the red terror can gain
sway over free America; for they are
the true avengers of freedom.
Hats off to the men whose hats
are first removed when Old Glory
passes.
They represent the highest type of
American manhood.
As long as the American Legion
survives no rebellious faction will be
permitted to defile American institu
tions with impunity.
Millions ot women will Vote in the
coming , presidential election, and
leaders of both parties might as well
understand that pre-election promis
es to the se must be kept J nut the
same as to the men. It is going to
be quite a job attuning the platforms
to as to" attract the voters of both
sexes.
Sane , and sensible Americans
would like to see a readjustment of
wages that will enable all ; alike to
meet conditions, without "lowering
living standards. . But when a few
undertake by force to better their
own welfare at the expense j of the
many they may be expected ' to see
the wrath ot public sentiment com
ing down upon them like a whirl
wind. Baltimore American. !
ROTJT OF THE REDS.
The socialists and radicals were
overwhelmingly defeated in the elec
tions in France. The rather large
representation of socialism in the na
tional assembly was cut to an almost
inconsequential group. ' In Germany
and Austria danger of domination by
the radical forces seems to have
passed. The world is making a des
perate and successful effort to regain
its balance.
If people would apply their hands
to honest, labor and home-building
they would find how much better it
is than applying their tongues to the
dissemination of a gospel of violence
and unrest But it is cheerful to
note that the skies are clearing every
where. In our own land there is no
chance of the reds or radicals gain
ing any authority.
They must either apply themselves
to peaceful and lawful toll or leave
the connery, ;
In the time of war it was deemed
proper to ask every man and woman
to serve where best they could for
the common good. It is no wrong
to ask the same just program in time
of peace.

that it is not necessary to depart the

Had Defective Eyesight
The alarming increase yearly noted in the number of school children trtfferinj with eye
strain is proof enough that state recognition and regulation of this important profession
Optometry has come nons too soon. '
In 1907 the New ,York World, commenting editorially upon the estimate of the school
committee that in New York City alone 180,0)0 children had defective eyesight, said:
. "All the more reason why steps should be taken to remedy
thi physical defect in so vast an army of little citizens. Glasses
will often, turn a stupid, ailing girl into a bright and healthy one;
a whining, backward boy into a manly, fast developing little fel
low. The effect in cases of extreme need is almost magical. In
most casts parents are slow to suspect the need bat are gladly will
ing to supply it when informed."
To learn with certainty whether or net such n:sd exists, it is only necessary ta consult a
competent optometrist. Delay in ascertaining this nay result in serious irjury to eyes or
health, or both. It is my rule never to recommer.d glasses unless they are needed unques
tionably and unless good results are clearly promised. To this rrlc I strictly adhere.
