TUESDAY, MARCH 2 THE FARMER SPEAKS Do we realize how acute the issue between country and city, the framer and the organized laborer, is becoming? The tarmers, in convention at Washington, said the cities must cease from luring or they would starve. "More work or less food!" is the farmers' slogan. Organized labor says, "Short er hours!" A rapidly organizing husbandry says, "Longer hours!" And the farmers propose to have it. The daylight-saving law was not defeated in congress last fall for no reason stall. The farmer had spoken; he would have no more of it. To him it means less work in the city and more of the uays post-meridian hours in which to play in trie -city.- Thus, when summer comes, the line between city and coun try will be drawn upon the clock, one time for the city and another time for the country. The city worker means organized labor, and organized labor and agriculture are gradually getting to see things from dramatically .opposite viewpoints. One reason is that the question of production is a near and vital thing with the farmer, whereas it is a more or less impersonal, remote and unimportant thing with the trade unionist in the citv. Against the city's short hours and high wages the farm er sets his face. He sees, what the contented city folks has not taken time off from the grindstone or the movie palace to see, that in our fatuous rust toward an alleged millennium for workers we are in danger of throttling production at its source. That source, of course, is the farm. That source throttled, we starve, as the farmer points out in convention resolutions. Therefore when we look at the clock next summer, let us give a thought to the farmer and his heht to nurture oro duction at its most essential point. Let us, by taking thought 01 tne tarmer, learn anew that it is still as true as it was in Adam's day: "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread." And let us realize, before it is too late, that the. farmer doesn't have to, and doesn't propose to, do all the sweating an me nine- ,, TEACH SHILDREN CITIZENSHIP Civic and Datriotism must he tatioht-in thi lnur oraH g O " of the schools, as a means of educating all children against ine penis 01 Doisnevism ana anarchy, i his is the opinion of one of the leading educators of the country, expressed at the convention of the National Education Association. The big majority of children never reach the high schools, yet most school programs introduce the study of government only in the high school departments. Of course any technical study of government is beyond the younger children o fany school, but there are certain basic principles in which even the smallest can be firmly grounded. Current subjects can be handled,' and should be, from the lower grades up. One of the greatest benefits of the war is said to be that it has made men of all classes think. If that benefit is to be lasting it must show its effect n the better direction of youth ful thought. Good citizenship must become an active and a beloved ideal in the child's mind, if the younger genera tion is to show any advance over the present one. o The critics who are condemning Hoover because he is a poor speech-maker had better be careful. The public is getting so tired of oratory, it may want him for that reason. TODAY'S EVENTS Tue-day, March 2. liJ0 Celebration of Independence Day In Texas.
