And did he mean Jerry Bacon of Grand Forks when he said in “'1‘we1fth Night”: “Let there be gall enough in thy ink; though thou write with a quill pen, no matter”? It seems to me he was thinking about the trouble those I. V. A. men are having trying to get up a petition for a referendum election in North Dakota when he said, in “King Henry Iv.”; “I would to God thou and I knew where a commodity of good names are to be bought.” And lastly, I believe he was think- ing of the League when he wrote, in “Toilus and Cressida”: “The baby figure of the giant mass Of things to come.” Can’t ‘'you help me out on these things? Maybe you could get him to write for the Leader. CONSTANT READER. We have tried, at Constant Reader’s suggestion, to get Mr. Shakespeare to write for the Leader, but we were pained and shocked to learn that Mr. small-knowing of oats, resisting the efforts of the other. Meanwhile a flock of crows, observ- ing that the horses, so long as they pulled against each other, were get- \ ting nowhere, flew down and began devouring the oats. At this the two horses ceased their efforts to pull against each other. They put their heads together and said, in horse language: “If -we pull against each other, neither of us can get the oats. But if we go together we can get the oats | in first one pan and then the other.” And they suited their actions to their words. : The crows, as they saw them com- ing, flew away, for they knew their feast was over. And the farmer said to the worker: “You and I are like those horses. The crows are the grafters and specu- lators and unnecessary middlemen, who get what belongs to us as long as we keep pulling against each other. “You saw how those horses put their heads together at last. If you and I can’t put our heads together we’re worse than horses; we’re jack- asses.” “T'm ready to show horse sense,” said the worker. Let’s get together.” suonn-ulu.n oo Sh'e.l‘don &.LCO.

From Our Poets THE MAN BEHIND THE PLOW It was Nature’s good intention That man should understand ¢ That the foundation of redemption Is by labor on the land: Though “planting is to prophesize. And plowing is to pray,” And the harvest we surmise Is what we get for pay. Yet the fact was ever known, (And ’tis true even now), That the idle classic drone Spurns the man behind the plow.
