I. Cahill of Grant county, N. D,, tells a good story when he is talking about ; the need for organ- ization. “A bunch of horses were surrounded on the prairie by a pack of * wolves,” says Senator Cahill. “The horses backed up against each other in a circle, facing the ° around them." As the wolves got closer and J. L. Cahill snapped at the horses they naturally kicked. They kicked each other and broke up their circle and the wolves dashed in the openings, cutting down one horse at a time until they were all killed. “But the same pack of wolves sur- rounded a bunch of mules. The mules, instead of putting their heads on the outside, put their heads together in the center. As the wolves came up and snapped at them the mules kicked, but they kicked the wolves instead of kicking each other, and the wolves were compelled to draw off and let the mules alone. “It was a case of the mules having more horse sense than the horses. “If mules can save themselves from the common enemy by putting their heads together, isn’t it time for farm- ers and city workers to do the same? They have been kicking each other too long.” : A political economist is a professor who spends his time trying to find another reason besides profit for the practices of big business interests. LANGER, KOSITZKY -AND HALL (With apologies to Eugene Field.) Langer, Kositzky and Hall one night Sailed out for the I. V. A,, : Sailed on a river of bright limelight Into the traitor’s bay. ; “Where are you going and. what do you wish?” The farmer asked the three. ' _“We have come to fish for the sucker fish That dwell in the state of N. D., We're after their silver and gold, are we,” Said Langer, Kositzky- And Hall. The farmer laughed and sang a song, As they sailed for the I. V. A,, And hot winds sped them all night g iong From the words that each did say; The “stickers” were the sucker fish That lived in the state of N. D. “Now cast your nets wherever you wish : A But never afraid are we!” So the farmers cried to the fishermen, Langer, 3 . Kositzky And Hall. The packers have asked the govern- ment not to throw its surplus meat on the market because they fear it will lower prices to the consumer. The grain - administration has thrown wheat on the market so-that it will lower prices to the millers. Don’t you often wonder what the reactionaries =~ would have called League farmers if the term “Bolshe- viki” hadn’t appeared in our language so opportunely ? The new Republican congress is ex- pected to take its first swat at the luxury taxes. Probably the last to come down will be the taxes on neces- sities. THE SOLDIERS’ WELCOME The welcoming committee, in tall and shiny hats, in cut- aways and breeches, and seven-buck cravats, stood on the pier and waved their hands; the transport neared the shore, a ship- load of our soldiers was coming back from war. And when that steamer touched the dock, the troopers jumped for land, the stylish greeters hurried up to shake each soldier’s hand. “We're proud of you,” is what they said, “the nation’s at your feet.” “We're glad of that,” the men replied, “but pray, when do we eat?” “When you reach home,” they told them then, “there’ll be a big parade, our city will do honor to the boys who weren’t afraid. There’ll be an entertainment, oh, the town will treat you swell,” but the soldiers only answered: “Say, mister, can you tell: Are our old jobs awaiting where we left them for the war, or will you entertain us, only that and noth- ing more? We're glad to have these fixings your arranging just for us, but if there are no places, don’t go to all this fuss. This honor that you’re doing us is fine, but will it last ? For hon- or’s empty eating and a man gets hungry fast. We'd like to see the town turn out as we march down the street, but now we’ll need a chance to earn the bread that we must eat. We don’t begrudge a thing we did, we’d do it all again, but tell us, will you, brother, what you’ll do for all these men?” The welcom- ing committee shook its collective head, each greeter heaved a soulful sigh and then the chairman said: ‘“We’re very sorry, comrades, but you don’t understand, the situation’s different than when you left this land; the jobs you had before you went to battle with the Hun, are gone and we’re deciding the best that can be done; of course, we’ll have a lot of things for every man to do, like digging streets, or peddling beets, or serve the wealthy few. And we may hire some of you for breaking strikes and such, to cut your brothers’ wages, but the salary won’t be much.. But that’s beside the question, the reason that we’re here, is just to bid you welcome and to give each man a cheer.” ADVERTISEMENTS 33382 “PRESTO.UP" Bolt-Together House S | The Wonder Buildings of the Age GUARANTEED Purchased after most rigid inspection by some of the largest Steel, Coal and.
