England has no giouveau riche—the “new poor” is the class most referred to in England today, according to Miss Clarissa Spencer who has just re- turned from London as representative of -the overseas department of the Y. W. C. A. In addition to England Miss Spencer visited European coun- tries to further the work of the Y. W. C. A. in explaining their peoples one to the other through the mediun of thelr women. “Not starvation, nor homeliness, but the humdrumnesé of life is-the tragedy of a great portion of English young women.” Miss Spencer says: “Young men are few. “For most of the girls who had been engaged to be married and for many who had just married at the opening of the $wat, life now holds of them, of course, will marry. But many more will brave the endless suc- cesslon of days, each the same color as the last.” " . Few English girls are idle. Most of them earn their liWng now. What uas struck Miss Spencer so forcibly 18 that work, food and shelter become meaningless to the vast number of England’s girls who no longer -look ahead to homes of their own. Miss Spencer belleves that not so many English girls are coming to this little but the long years ahead. $omev country as are going to England’s own colonies.

Norway, which when it started was full of sympathy for the soviet gov- er:ment, turns against the cause it has long supported there must be something wrong.¥ The congressman said that there is goneral unrest thruout Kurope and that foodstuffs are lacking in France, Belgium, Luxemburg and Germany. He also said that in these countries there are unscrupulous individuals who are ever endeavoring to fan the pasgions of 'the_people into flame. He described that the world is on the brink of & volcano and that civiliza- tion itself is in the balance and that only a steady hand will prevent a ca- lamity which may blot out the pres- ent civilization. After felling of his experiences in Europe the congressman gave a short talk in which he asked the support of the people for the republican par- ty. - iMrs. Stella_Cugsons of Rochester, representing ‘Republican headquart- ers gave a Snappy talk in which she denounced' the methods of the non- partisan lgbgue in North Dakota and she tirged the women to avail them- selves of the opportunity of franchise and vote right.

PR “What’s Your Hurry?” 2t10-25 CULLING CAMPAIGN IN GREAT FAVOR The Farm Bureau poultry culling campaign, put on in co-operation with agricultural extensionists of the state university, is everywhere get- ting results. N. E. Chapman, poultry extensionist from University Farm, is giving several culling demonstra- tions almost every day. before good sized crowds. Everywhere his work is strongly endorsed by the press. The Herald-Dispatch of Sleepy Eye, Brown county, reflects the. general good opinion in which the University Farm poultry extension work is held. It says: “The chicken industry is the best developed of any industry in this county, ahd it is second only to corn as a money makér. The high stage of its development is in a large measure. due to the advis® and in- struction given by Mr. Chapman to the fanciers of the county.” County Agent F. M. Bane is aldo compliment- ed by the Herald-Dispatch. Five points - emphasized by the poultry leaders.of the university are: 1, progress of the molt; 2, fading of the_color; 3, body conformation; 4, head noints or sex characteristics; 5, condition of bird as to flesh and feathers.

This was the statement of a Min- nesota farmer who was so enthusi- astic about sheep when wool was around ‘55 cents a pourid that he pur- chased additional ewes at a price around $15 a head. “This farmer was_ certainly cor: rect,” says William L. Caveft, U versity Farm extensionist, “when hel said there was no money in sheep with. wool at 20 cents, provided the market for lambs is ot high enough to offset the low price.of wool. How- ever, I'believe that when one can buy good ewes at-$6 a head, it is a go time to stay :in. the ;sheep. business. If one has knowledge /of sheep and has the necessary feed and. fences.he should certainly buy a few of “the ewes that the neighbors wish to sell at_around half of the previous prices or'less. At any rate, it is certainly a much -better time to stay in the sheep “businéss or’ to ~get-into it, than when prices of ewes and wool are abnormally high. The sheep and wool market cannot ‘go _mugh Jlower and if sheep growers get discour- aged it will not be many, years he- fore it is .much better. “Then those who now wish to sell their breeding stock will want it hack.” 3 | THE PIONEER WANT ADS BRING RESULTS 5 - worth you can payment, too! § !
