vesting, threshing and the maturing of
late crops.
Harvesting continues and the yield
of hay and grain is reported to be
highly satisfactory.
Potatoes are reported to be looking
well and promise good yield.
Fall apples are coloring nicely and a
good crop is in sight.
Threshing has commenced in the
western part of the State where the
grain is turning out much better than
expected.

For some time past an innumerable
army of crickets has infested the cam
yons of starr valley, Elko county.
These insects are Of an enormous size
like humming birds-very voracious
and incredibly plentiful. Some of the
ranchers have had hard time fighting
this plague. The crickets would march
upon place in solid ranks-nothing
but fire could stop them. Strychnine
and Paris green proved entirely inef-
fective against them, and the only way
to keep them out of gardens, etc., was
to literally herd them and drive them
back. They ate everything in their
path and even assaulted young fruit
trees by first biting hole in the bark
and then girding the whole tree. Just
what brought the crickets down from
the hills no one seems to know. AT
this writing they are returning and
everyone feels relieved Vets Herald.

CLERKS ARE TO FIGHT
WORKING ON SUNDAYS

Every trades unionist in the state
will be requested to join, in symPa-
thy at least, with the Illinois State
Retail Clerks association for Sun
day closing law. The measure will
be drawn after the acts now in force
in Ohio, Iowa, and Michigan. and will
reach groceries, dry goods, shoe, fur
nishing goods, and general stores.
Saloons will be left in a class by
themselves, since there is a law gov
arning them at the present time.
In deciding to make a direct APP
peal to union organizations the re-
tail clerks believe they are acting
in the interests of all wage earners,
because the passage of n measure of
the character intended will go far to-
wards preserving Sunday from desc
Grafton and insure all classes a day
of rest.

the most experienced clerks in the

There is no excuse for all the
trading that is done on Sunday"
said President Mast. Housewives
can purchase their supplies on Sat
urday just as well. while shoes and
clothing may be bought at any time
during the week. The public soon
would become accustomed to doing
it's shopping entirely on week days
and the slight Inconvenience suffered
at first would more than be counter
balanced by the benefit of a Sunday
off for thousands of overworked en-
plOyes, who are now compelled to
toll nights and Sundays.
Until the organization of the re-
tail clerks in Chicago we were work
ing eighty-four> hours per week.
Since we have commenced a syste-
matte movement against the long
hours we have had that cut down
to seventy hours per week. We hope
soon to get the stores TO close five
nights and every Sunday.
I'm this Sunday movement we
have organized labor with us, and
we have reason to suppose the leg
islature will heed demand for leg
islation. In other states Sunday
closing was effected by an act that
has stood the test of the courts"
