A score of farmers sitting on trucks,

Of the Kansas City Star. A moment

has stopped at the water tank, and the
farmers are running along the string of
cars toward the two passenger coaches

Then begins the dickering for terms.
The harvest hands are reluctant to dis
embark. They feel their Importance
and wish to be coaxed. They think
that If they go farther they will get
better wages. One or two get off and
are quickly contracted for by the farm

"rll pay whatever is customary"
says one farmer.

THE LATEST TO GO
Arsenal Field Carriage Manufac'
ture Checked by Private
Contractors.
MORE MECHANICS LAID OFF
Bethlehem Steel Company Grabs An
other important Ordnance in
dustry.

More evidence of the effect of the
private contract system in reducing
the industrial opportunities and depict
ing the working forces at Rock Island
arsenal, came today in the form of or
ders to Col. Blunt from the chief of
ordnance. that no more orders would
be received before July l for the manu-
facture of field carriages at the ar
senal. The result was that Col. Blunt
was obliged to lay off Is mechanics.
This means that the manufacture of
field carriages has fallen into the hands
of private contractors and that no
more will be built at Rock Island ar
senal, the Bethlehem Steel works. the
concern that is 10 send representatives
here soon to look into the small arms
industry with a view to grabbing that
also having captured the contract from
the ordnance department.
Time for United Work.
So that these steady developments
as to inroads private contractors are
making on the legitimate output of the
arsenal, when taken into consideration
with the black eye given the arsenal
| by the sweat shop" resolution adopt
ed by the American Federation of La
Dor. affords anything but happy as
pect so far as the future of the arsenal
as an industrial center is concerned
And taken together, it should serve as
an incentive to the citizens of the
three cities. not only to bring pressure
to bear upon congress to restore manu-
factories that belong to the arsenal. but
to correct the damaging impression
that the Federation of Labor resolu
| tions have created.

Our Failure In Japan.

There is a widespread delusion that
the rise of Japan means the beginning
of American trade ascendency in the
Orient. Official records. however
show that our exports to Japan have
been gradually declining, while those
from Asia were vastly increasing
There is also a delusion that to cure
a weak stomach you must resort 70
dieting and thus starve yourself Up
to-date people, however, know differ
eht. They always keep a bottle OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters in the
house. and at the first sign of any all
ment of the stomach. liver or kidneys
take few doses. with the result that
they are always healthy. This is a
good plan for every sick person tc
adopt. 1t cures headache, nervousness
biliousness. constipation, indigestion

The only place you're likely to have
trouble is at the joining place-the seal
lops aren't always satisfactory enough
to come out exactly even. For this rea-
son it is well to mark the scallops, as
YOU draw near the point of union, very
lightly You may have to squeeze one
in or draw the tips of several out lit
tie.
The scaIlops should be large. The
cloth is moro effective If they are. And
the work is first padded and then but
tonholed with soft finish embroidery cot
ton.
If, after you've stamped your cover.
YOU go around the cloth with row OF
machine stitching, keeping it just in
side the outer edge Of the scallop, there
will be less trouble from fraying edges.
But the machine tension must be very
loose, or each scallop viii be drawn like
a little shell.
Odd bits Of linen may be turned into
little C1oilies and centerpiece6-thep plain
er sorts with simple scallops, or hem
stitched hens or fringe for a finish,
and they wear and wash like iron.
Hedebro work is the prettiest of the
new all-white work for centerpieces and
doilies It is done by buttonholing in the
finest, closest possible stitches around
the small circles and ovals which come
together to form the designs. After the
buttonholing is done the linen is cut out
and the eyelets filled in with spider
webs and the simpler of the lace
stitches.
Hardanger is still good. the finer Har-
danger-that done on the finer mesh
ma teriais-yery good.
The Washington times., 1905-08-06

Many a woman takes time in summer
to get table linen-the smaller sorts
that depend upon exquisite needlework
for their beauty-in sorder for the win
ter. Napkins and small tableeloths
which have waited two-thirds Of the
year to have initials embroidered upon
them are brought out upon wide, shady
porches, and the work gets done some
way without apparent effort.
The round tablecloths. which are so
pretty for tea or luncheon cloths, cost
very little TO make but are quite eX-
pensive TO buy It is better to buy a
great square of sheeting linen and have
the scailOp stamped, uUless you are fair
ly expert at gauging space, though
even the stamping can be done at nome
with a little patience
If YOU do mark il yourself, get the
circle true first of all. You can do this
by making a rough pair of compasses
by tying a pencil to string and fasten-
ing the other end of the string in the
middle of your linen, which has been
stretched on the floor for easy han
ding.
Drive "A strong pin through the end of
the string down into the fioor-youYe a
stationary point from which TO swing
the pencil
After you've described your circle cut
a scaliop out of cardboard and lay it
with edges touching the linen OF the
circle, and then draw around II, repeat
ing until you've drawn scallops all the
way round
