AN ADDRESS OF THE COMMITTEE,
The Needs of the Miners Greater at the
Present Than Any Time During the
Strike

Present Than Any Time During the
Strike.
II seven days now the great coal
miners suspension, which has been
pending for the last ten weeks, will
be at an end, and will be hailed with
rejoicing by the general public No
movement of this kind was ever in
augurated that has engaged the atten-
ton of the general public to such an
extent as the present. Not only $780,
coo miners have been thrown idle, but
thousands and tens of thousands of
workmen engaged in different occupa-
tons have been compelled to suspend
work on account of an insufficient
supply of coal. When we take into ac-
count the loss in the way of wages to
the miners, and workmen engaged in
other industries, who have been
thrown idle by the lack of COAL to-
gether with the less in profits to the
coal operators. the railroad companies,
and the manufacturers Of other indus
tries, it will be seen that it is a ques-
ton that deeply concerns the entire
business interests Of the country.
1t is to be hoped that the experience
of the past will be taken advantage
OF, and something done TO avoid these
disastrous strikes in the future The
miners committee, realizing that the
distress among the miners of this dis
trict will be even greater for the next
two weeks than at any time during the
suspension, have agreed to keep their
headquarters, at 1922 Main street, open
to supply the needy mine employees,
and we aKain appeal to the public for

READING, Pa, Oct. 22.-Samuel Fix wrote in
his will several elaborate provisions to have
his grave kept green. When the Did man died
Lis will was opened: the krotty problems that
it contRined were submitted to Judge Bland of
the Orphans Court to be untanRled. Mr.. Fix
owned several large plots OF what is known as
the CARRIER and Biting graveyard, where sew
erai generations Of the two families were buried,
on tho other side of the Schuylkill, opposite
Heading. Tho Pennsylvania Railroad runs
directly IL front Of tho old burial ground.
In his will Mr.. FiN directed that his
executors should build directly outside
his portion of the burial ground "a two

years OF its existence have been most successful.
The men cannot associate 1t with their old
country idea OF womsn's place In the world.
Strange TO say, tho idea OF organizing this
club originated in q New York woman's mind.
That woman was Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait.
Two years ago she delivered a lecture at Grace
English Lutheran Church, ana the club was the
oLtgrowth OF tho lecture. A great many promi-
nent Swedish women were present, and Mrs.
Emmy Evald issued a call for a meeting. Ten
women responded and enrolled themselves as
members of the present club. ard for the first
time Chicago Swedish women voted for candi.

ton. This 10 not true OF their Swed' sh
sisters; They have much to contend with in the
prpjNdices OF their old country as to the rights
Of women. The members OF tho Chicago Club
had to overcome the prejudices OF their imre-
date families. especially those With husbands.
Even now they would not dream OF. holding
their meetings In a hotel or q public hall, but
come together at the homes OF members.
The club has only seventy members, but these
are representative women. and they intend to
branch out and make their organization a
nucleus for similar clubs in not only their city.
but also in all cities where Swe3es are TO lie
f3uniin large numbers. Tho club meets monthly.

WIDE ROWS FOR CORN.

l see farmers are writing on the
wide row subject for corn. Idon't
want to write about What / believe,
but what | know. If corn in the
South should be planted in rows six
feet wide, with rows running north
and south, land should be well pre-
pared before planting, worked often
while the corn Is small, lay by when
hip high; this would bring prosper
ity to the South that we never knew
before. Working too much land
and planting too thick will keep us
IN poverty. For five years I have
planted my corn in wide rows and
would not quit it for any system 1
have ever yet tried. The advan.
tages Of the wide row are these:
First, you have ouly half as many
rows to hoe. it you should be so IN
fortunate as to have to use the hoe.
Second, 1t will retain the moisture
much longer. Third, you can put
the corn nearly twice as thick in
the drill. Fourth, the wind can
pass between the rows at the crit
zeal time when heat is so destruc-
tive 70 its maturity. Fifth at the
second ploughing the middle can
be planted in peas, which is clear
gain in more ways than one. The
vines and peas are good for all
kinds of stock, while the land is
much improved This Is in line
with tbs com nand God gave to
Moses when he was required to
shade the land. Nv. j. Uuffsl, in
