Comrade DeQUOT was the speaker

with enthusiastic applause. Short
talks were then made by some of the
county candidates.

county In all Kinds of convcyanci'H.
Were it not timt Comrade Ellman'i

not have been room for such a large

was by no means the least enjoyable
part of tho day.

The committee in charge Is to be
complimented upon the perfection of
the plans. There was not a single
incident to mar the enjoymane of the
day's arrangements. Kvcrybody was
happy and satisfied. And last, but not
least, the affair was a financial suc

It goes without saying that we all
deeply appreciate the hospitality ex
tended us by Comrade and Mrs. Ill
man. We hope that this will not bo
the last time we will be given the
keys to this beautiful little domain.
CONQUEST OF THE AIR.
A Successful Aerial Omnibus.
The enormous biplane invented by
Igor Sikorsky, a Russian, has carried
sixteen passengers and a pilot on a
short flight, and eight passengers and
a pilot on a flight that lasted two hours
and six minutes, according to The
World's Work (New York, July). Says
this magazine:
"The wings spread 114 feet, and the
body and tall are 60 feet long. Be
sides the pilot's quarters, the 'airbus'
contains an observation balcony, a
wash room, and an enclosed passeng
ers' cabin, that is lighted by elec
tricity, heated by gas, and furnished
with chairs. The machine is driven
by four 100-horse-power motor, and
with this power supply has been driven
at a speed of sixty-six miles an hour.
But the inventor's designs call for a
fifth motor, which will probably in
crease this speed. Each motor can
be started independently of the oth
ers, and all are controlled from the
driver's seat by compressed air. The
great spread of the wings increases
the lifting power of the machine. The
airbus, empty, weighs 8,250 pounds,
and it has carried more than a ton of
additional weight. The carrying ca
pacity makes the airbus of great util
ity in war. The Russian government
has ordered four more biplanes of this
type for the use of the army. This
order is part of Russia's targe increase
in aeronautic equipment, which already
includes more than 300 aeroplanes and
which will be increased by 1,000 more
within two years."
MEN AND WOMEN TEACHERS
The total number of women teach
ers in the public schools of the Unit
ed States was estimated for 1913 at
about 412,800. The men in the Bchools
number over 110,000, or about 21 per
cent of the total. This la a larger pro
portion of men teachers than Is usual
ly supposed, for it is about one In five.

United Btatea in eatlmatad to b* $40,
--891,449,090. Tha total groaa Income Ik
eatlmated ai 16,287,860,146, and the
total expenaei 13,168,892,047. Net
(arm Income, 14,074,017,499.
in monetary value of product! the
Carina <>r tha United Btatei have made
a record, although the value of pro
ductlon waa materially below tha ay
erage. The value of farma for L9lB
Ih nearly half a billion dollar! above
tha value for i!»ur, which waa itself i
record year.
The statistics gathered by the cen
sus show that there was an lncreaso
of 11 per cent In the total number <>r
farms from 1900 to 1910. On thin per
enntago of Inorease the total number
or farms nt present, according to the
department estimate, li G.C00.000, and
band on the estimated returns la crop
and animal products for 1913, the av
erage oaah income for farms will be
nearly $900.
"This does not represent a net in
come, for out Of this amount the
farmer must pay for fertilizer, hire of
help, stock feed, maintenance of farm
equipment and taxes," says the report.
The figures show the averago farm
in the United States Is 138 acres, of
which 7.> acres only Is Improved; that
tho total Invested In farms and Im
provements Is nearly $50,000,000,000,
making an average for each farm of
about $6,500. Deducting expenses
from gross income the net farm In
come, based on the estimated crop for
1913, is $4,074,027,499.
Largest and Smallest Returns.
The report shows that the smallest
average cash Income from the farm
per capita is returned in the states of
Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mis
sissippi, Louisiana, Teaxes, Oklahoma
and Arkansas, where the labor of a
relatively large number of adults and
children Is required to produce the
crops while the largest income per
capita is required In the states of
Minnesota, lowa, Missouri, North and
South Dakota, Kansas and Nebraska.
"The average farmer is not realiz
ing a material product over and above
what might reasonably be expected on
his labor and investment," says the de
partment bulletin.
On the contrary, if cash income per
farm and per capita alone is consid
ered it would appear that In many
sections farmers and their families do
not make wages comparable with
wages received in other occupations
requiring an equal degree of experi
ence, intelligence and skill.
The uncertainty of the farmers' cash
income, however, Is more than offset
by the certainty of a livelihood, and
the fact that he does not have to make
cash payments at frequent intervals
for his rent, water, fuel and a large
part of his food for his family.
Commenting on the relation Of agri
cultural production to prices, Leon M.
Hstabrook, chief of the bureau of sta
tistics, says:
"However desirable increased pro
duction on farms may appear to be
from the Consumers' standpoint, it
does not follow that such increased
production would result in any in
crease, in the cash Income per farm or
per capita of farm population, or that
prices paid by consumers would be
any lower.
Comparative Returns.
"The estimated total farm produc
tion in l!H.'i is less than in 1912, yet
the estimated t;roHK and net cash re
turns to farmers are greater than in
1912.
"Had the total production in 1918
equaled or exceeded the 1912 produc
tion, it seems probable that the cash
income per farm would not have been
greater, and might have been less,
than in 1912; but it is extremely
doubtful whether the cost to the con
sumer would have been any less be
cause retail prices are promptly raised
on a prospect of underproduction, but
are very slow to decline if there is
overproduction.
"The long line of distributers and
middlemen between the fanner and
consumer are in a position to take ad
vantage of the market, and to a certain
extent control the market in both di
one, because they are better or
ganized to keep Informed of crop and
market conditions and to act promptly
Hi an either farmers or consumers, who
are not. organized, and as individuals
are helpless.
"The high prices paid by consumers,
ranging from 5 to nearly 500 per cent,
in gome cases more than the farmer
receives, indicate that there is plenty

NEWS FROM SUMAS.
Snman, Wiisli., Aug. H, l!i|1
The Washington Boclalli 1:
Comrade Editor 1 will write you a
few lines to let you know that Local
Bumai is Kirn alive, A few weeks
ago the comrades decided to have ■
series or lectures, Riven at their hall,
preceding the regular campaign lec
tures. Wo invited Comrade Waynick
of Dellingham, our county secretary,
to deliver the first of this series, and
m feel assured that we made no mis
take, when we secured him first on
our list. Date was made with him for
the evening of July 28. We adver
tised this lecture as extensively as
possible under short notice! A fairly
good crowd, was out to welcome Com
rade Wayniek. Perfect order was
maintained throughout the meeting.
And all of his points were met with
hearty appreciation. Consequently, a
greater interest, was aroused than had
been previously manifested. Party
members, also many others that are
not Socialists, took great Interest in
preparing for the next lecture to be
held on August 1. State Secretary
L, 10. Katterfeld was to deliver this
lecture. Comrade Wayniek had
aroused their enthusiasm to such a
degree that a well filled house greeted
Li. K. Katterfeld. As he earnestly told |
them "How to get what they wanted"
many expressions of applause greeted
him. Clear and logical on every point,
convincing In his arguments, he is
well able to cope with capitalism. He
is well worthy of the position he holds
In the party, that of state secretary,
and other locals would do well In se
curing him for a lecture.
Fraternally,
