He Has to Hustle.

"A farmers life is not a!happy
one these days" said a broad
shouldered tiller of the soil who
owns a nice lot of broad acres.
''You see it is like this" he replied
to the assertion of the pencilite that
it seemed to be pleasant occupa.
ton to own large farm, 1--WE can't
get help and rs a result it is a case of
up at o'clock in the morning in
order to get through all our work
by nine o'clock in the evening.
Many farmers are paying as high as
$50 a month and keep for help
while others are unable to secure
a hired man at any price. Wages
were never SO high in this part Of
the country and men never so
scarce as at the present time.
Even if we are able to pay the price,
the chances of securing help are
small. The COWS have to be MIXED
and so it is up to the owners to make
slaves of themselves in order to
keep up with the demands on the
farm. 1t is work, work, work from
early morning until late at night.

Do Nots.
(For Patrons on Rural Routes

(FOr Patrons on Rural Routes.
Do not expect the carrier to be on
the very minute. 1t may be as
much as an hour at the end of the
route.
Do not ask the carrier why your
paper did not come yesterday. He
knows no more about it than you
do. You would undoubtedly have
got it had he seen it.
Do not leave loose pennies in your
box to pay the postage. Stick a
stamp in the upper hand corner.
If you are out of stamps wrap the
pennies in a paper. Picking up
loose pennies with cold fingers or
when the rain is pouring down is
anything but pleasure.
Do not forget to meet up at the
box when you want to buy money
order or register a letter. Meet up,
sign the application, pay for the
order, and get your receipt and
change. That is businesslike.
DO not forget to- put your box
where it can be easily reached from
the carriers rig. Clear away posts
and stones and fill up the bitches
that may Obstruct.
Do not glue or seal packages you
wish to send. You thereby double
the rate of postage.

MORE STRIKES AT CHICAGO
Lumber Yards the Last To Be Tied Up
No Improvement Elsewhere.

Chicago, May PA strike of /,
500 tallymen and lumber inspectors,
which may develop serious trouble for
the lumber industry of this city has
been inaugurated. Seventy-five lum-
Der yards throughout the city are in
volved. Upon refusal of the employers
to grant a demand for 30 cents an hour
and a ten-hour day the men walked
out without any warning, although
an agreement had been signed Jan. l
between the tallymen and lumber in
spectorS' union and the employers max
ing the wages 221a cents an hour for
one year.
Besides, the foregoing other labor
trouble cropped up all over the town.
For instance, 800 structural iron work
ers employed by the American Bridge
Works company joined the army OF
strikers. At the Kennedy division OF
the National Biscuit company, Morgan
and Randolph streets, LOO bakers,
cracker packers and shipping clerks
were told the factory would shut down
for a week, instead Of the company
granting the union demands for high
er wages. These troubles were added
to the laundry strike, the colored wait
ers' strike at the Kohlsaat restaurants,
the stock yards strike of engineers, and
minor difficulties.

One Editors Lament.

A Wisconsin editor publishes the
following notice to delinquent sub
scribers, under a heading of large
caps and astonishers:
1.-The waves Of prosperity have
not broken in silver or golden music
on the shores of the publishing
house, not yet. Whether any tidal
wave Of checks, drafts, post office
or express money orders, bank
notes or postage stamps is headed
this way, we have no means of de-
termining But one thing we do
know, and that is, that our expenses
go on as regularly as the sun rises
and that we get no receipted bill till
we plank down the face thereof.
"Since, therefore, we are in the
sea of doubt and debt, and since,
we cannot look for a miracle of
generosity, we shall have to appeal
to our subscribers who are in ar
rears to come to our rescue. Win
ter is poor time to swamp, and as
there is pair of trousers between
us and starvation we shall try to
keep afoat.
Money, thou goddess of all
parties, we need thee every hour.
yes, every hour we need thee, But
this is not our whole trouble.
Others need thee and look to us to
supply their needs. Then comes,
thou yellow, white or green god
dess, whichever thou art; come in
any form, size or complexion.
Little or big, come! Come in dollar
or ten-dollar Jumps, but if you are
coming in $1,000 packages please
give us q days notice. We have a
weak heart and could not stand
such a shock without getting ready
for it,
''Our wants are few We can get
a pretty good lunch for seven cents,
and can sit down to a bill of fare and
read over what we might have if we
were rich. Come to our rescue, We
who owe us; come to-day, to-mor-
row and every day until We owe us
no more. Don't put it off. Write
delays are dangerous to us, anyway.
1--WE extract no sweeter pleasure
from life than that we get when we
pay our bills. You see we put off
the blessed day as long as possible
Just to have that anticipation of
happiness when we see the blessed
vision, Received paymentr' We
do it because of the all gone feeling
in the region of our bread basket.
But this between ourselves.
"An estimable old lady once told
us that the universe was made out
of nothing, but the newspaper that
is published on a similar outfit is
bound to be fizzle. If you owe us,
pay up; make us happy and help
keep the garlnt wolf away from our
back door,

the high wind, which blew half the pow

rest or 1t In thirty seconds, the red fire
man had difficulties of his own. Notwith-

result was fairly satisfactory. A large

The business was considerably

The longer lines to Chicago which do
not usually do as heavy Chicago busi-
ness as some of their competitors, also
report good sale, and are probably
getting more than their normal propor-
ton of the business. The reason for
this Is, undoubtedly, that many travel
ers expect to drop off at local points,
where the normal round-trip rate is
more than So.
The return of the SO tickets is Oct.
8, and for those who desire to make
only short trip, the reduced rate to
