A writer in the Chicago Trade Jour
nal says:
"Red cedar is very unique wood
and it will not do to judge it from q
pine standard. Color is no criterion
of soundness, and, right here, the
writer is willing to admit that it re.
quires . years observation among the
standing timber and around the mills
for him TO decide from appearance the
difference between live and dead ce-
dar. The larger the timber, in grow
ing trees, the more dark colored wood.
l have stood and watched the band
saws cutting boards from the finest OF
large live logs and noticed the same
board presenting an almost infinite
variety OF shade, from a deep, rich,
dark mahogany to light cherry, and
lighter. For this peculiarity red cedar
owes its principal beauty when oil fin.
ished, and to the same feature is due
the honest error Of many dealer who
talks about dead timber.
II will say to retailers and consum.
ers that Washington red cedar re-
quires no defense. 1t has fought and
will fight its own battles. Where it
has been used the longest it is liked
the best. 1t is q household word in
most lumber yards. Qusrter.sawed,
the shingle will lie fiat always. They
will last until they wear out. They
may be laid closely when dry and will
not expand when wet. Heat and cold,
moisture and dryness are alike power
less to harm them. The same quail
ties which make red cedar a good
shingle renderit the best material for
siding, and most excellent material
for sash and doors and all interior
finish.

We can not consider our editorial
complete by confnin & our admoni-
tion to the young men. The evil
tendencies of idleness are even more
iegenerating in young women. They
lead to narrow mindedness, ira shy
literature, pride, empty heads and
future doomed to dissappoin tment
and discomfort. They learn when it
is too late that they can not live
happily either upon their fathers
good name or their mothers money.
Pride, idleness and destruction fall
together. The errors and wayward-
ness of youth make u unsolicited leg
acies to perpetual regret. Time
alone tells its sad tale, but then it is
too late. The warning must be
needed, if the future shall b redeem-
ed. Pretense can not live insin-
cerity disco urages confidence and
breeds distrust. Ficklenesslea to
instability and loss of purpose while
deceit fosters nature that is mimi
cal to all good qualities. These
must be avoided if we would reap
the harvest of future happiness. As
the SHOWS of winter soon will cover
the vast expanse of earth and the
opportunities of summer have pass
ed, so will the winter of life come ere
we are aware and the privileges that
once were ours will have sped upon
their sad and silent march to return
to us no more. 1t then remains for
all to take the advantage of the gold
en- opportunities while they last.
Let this be an inspiration to noble
deeds and active, useful lives.

To Our Young Readers.

q N said that Labor dis
graces no man" At This season O.
the year, when the remains o.
summer are like a pleasant dream Of
what has passed and gone, it is fit
ing for each one torefect upon wha,
he has accomplished and to consider
what the future has in store. The
green mantle is still spread over the
hills and the midday warmth are
suggestive of n once congenial and
vigorous, summer; but summer is no
longer here. The voice of nature
teaches us lesson. The opportuni-
ties OF life must be utilized while
they are with us. Soon, too, the
autumn of life, yea, the winter of
discomfort, will be staring us in the
lace and we will be aching foranoth-
er chance to win the laurels of tri-
umph. Daily we see about us scores
OF young men who apparently have
no purpose in life, who do not seem
to realize that there lies beyond n
reward for faithfulness. We see them
continually on the streets of every
town in Snyder county. If they
have an aim or an ambition in life,
no one knows it but themselves. If
they can fill the purposes of their
existence in social life without en-
erting one muscle of their body and
coming in direct contact with the
practical side Of life they can do some
thing that has not been done in all
the history of the world. Energy,
application and careful considera-
ton are the price of success. He
who can not sacrifice Il portion of
present pleasure can have no salts

CLOTHING-CUTTERS STRIKE.
Policemen Threaten to Arrcst
Pickets II They Interfere,

Twenty-Five clothing cutters employed
by the wholesale clothing firm Of Cane,
Mccartney & Co, of Broadway and
Fourth street, are striking for an in
crease OF pay and other union condi-
tons. The strikers say that the firm
had agreed to increase the wages as
soon as the busy season set in. Since
last year the knife cutters had been
getting S2l.6o a week and the shear cut
ters SIS. These were the highest fig
ures paid. Many received only SIS
The Increase asked for Is $50 for shear
cutters and S2i for knife cutters The
strikers claim that they know the busy
season has set in as the firm has re-
celved sixty oredrs..
Mr.. Cane admitted that wages are
paid as the men represent. and says It
IL impossible to allow the increase re-
Quested This firm was formerly known
as the Clinton Clothing Company, which
did contract work for Clinton Prison.
The strikers say that the firm is now
contracting for Sing Sing Prison. MIR.
Cane denied that statement, as we'll as
that the busy season had set In.
A policeman was stationed In front Of
the door, and the strikers say that he
told their pickets he would arrest them
II they interfered with applicants for
work.
Abraham Cane, one OF the frm is
member of the General Committee Of
Tammany Hall, so the strikers claim,
and they account for the presence OF
the policeman on that ground.

| The volume Of business at the Stock
Exchange this morning was extremely
light, many operators having left for
the country yesterday to be absent over
the Fourth. The bulls were disposed to
be little more aggressive. owing to the
receipt of higher prices from London,
and more particularly because Of
growing belief that the prompt action
of the Government authorities will
make short work of the strike.
The latter is embarrassing trade most

would be hailed with satisfaction by all

NO MORE LIGHTNING RODS.
They Arc Things of the Past, as
They Caused Much Damage.

What has become of all the lightning
rods?" asked a friend of mine this
morning. Have you noticed that OF
late years you can scarcely ind a house
in days journey which is fitted up
with these oldtime projections against
electric bolts?
why. a few years ago every prosper
Gus farmer would as soon have thought
Of leaving his stock without water as to
neglect protecting his houses and barns
with lighnng-rods, says the Buffalo
Enquirer. Agents coined money travel
ling around the country in wagons and
putting up these Contrivances to ward
off danger But their day was soon run.
More disasters We're created than avert
ed by the use of these so-called pro-
tectors. The insulators would become
loosened. and when the electric iuid be-
gan running down the rods, instead OF
being rounded. as was intended. II found
an inviting chance to dodge off into the
building which the rods were supposed
to protect
My. old father had the lightning bust
ness down fine. He never could be per
suaded to put one on a house or barn
He used to declare that he'd rather
have one good tree in his dooryard as n
protection against lightning than to
have his house covered with lightning
rods"

THOUSANDS ARE OUT OF WORK
Eighty Per Cent. of Skilled Me-
chanic3 Idle Without Means.
Strikes and General Depression
Contribute to the Cause.

II Is estimated that over twenty thou
sand members of the various building
trades unions OF New York City are
out of employment. This Is due to sew
eral causes, the general hard times, Of
course, being an important factor
Another cause, and one to which much
significance is attached is the disturbed
condition of labor at the present time.
For the first time in many years there
appears to be general suspension of
"overhauling' work this Summer. The
dissensions among the different labor
unions are to blame, 1t Is said, for this.
as people are afraid to have work be-
gun without an assurance that 1t will be
completed
There are about 5000 bricklayers in
the city. of which so per cent are out
OF work When employed they earn s24
a week. The pasterers number about
the same, with the o same proportion un;
masons about one-half are employed.
The carpenters fare better. 1t IL es-
timated that there are 10000 OF them.
work When employed they received 49, 80
per day. There are about 5000 plumbers,
two-thirds of whom are employed. They
earn when working, sS.75 per day.
htters and their helpers. cabinet-work-
ers.- tin and sheet-iron workers, over
half OF whom cannot find employment,
and i makes w. an army of unemployed
breadwinners Of alarming proportions.
1T puzzles the unions to know how
the unemployed men live" a labor leader
said TO an Evening World" reporter
to-day. Most Of them have too much
pride to let their condition be known
me unions have benevolent funds for
doctors fees and funeral expenses, but
none for rent, and how the men with
large families exist is a mystery. Where
there were three buildings in course OF
construction at this time two years ago
there ID but one now. Then, again, the
constant labor troubles all over the land
have marked tendency to retard build
Ing. and this has material effect"
In this connection 1t may be of in
terest to note that thousands of emil
grants are returning to the old coun-
try; Seven steamships last week alone
took away 265s steerage passengers,
while eight arrived with but 1918 Last
year there were 4S9.9l0 aliens landed
here, and the total departures were
127.6s9. Friends and relatives are send
ing them money to return to their
former homes. as they are unable to
obtain work here.
So large has become the exodus that
Secretary Carlisle has appointed Supt
Stump. Commissioner and Assistant Com
missioner McSweeny a special commit
tee to investigate the cause.
