STIRS up UNIONS
Business Agent Finds Many
Ready to Affiliate With
Congress.
MAKES HIS FIRST REPoRI
Some of Trades Not Now Organized
are Taking Steps in That Di-
rection.

AT the regular meeting of the Tri
City Labor congress last evening at
Industrial hall. Business Agent Herges
made his first report to the congress
since his recent election TO that Office.
He reported that quite a number of
the unions of the tri-cities. now not
affiliated with the congress. are favor
ably considering representation in the
organization
The harbers OF Moline compose the
largest of those which will probably
affiliate with the congress shortly. Nj
Herges stated that ne had visited a
large proportion of the grocers and
flour dealers of the tri-cities. and found
that the Crosby Milling company's pro
ducts, which are on the unfair list
are in less demand than before this
action was taken by the unions
Mr.. Herges stated that a number OF
the trades are taking action toward or
ganiZaIion, and when the unions are
formed the intention is to become aft
lated with the labor congress. The
members Of the congress were very
well pleased with the report made. and
feel that Mr.. Herges has accomplished
as much as could be expected the first
two weeks.
Special Number of UniOnist.
The May number of the Tri-City Tn
ionist is to be made a special number,
and will contain many interesting
features The editor. z. c. Berry, is
preparing to make this issue the larg
est ever published since the found
ing of the paper. The photographs OF
ali of the Officers of the labor congress
will be. published. and historical
sketches of the various organizations
given.

IDEAS IN WAIST GIRDLEs.

High girdles will be a feature of
new gowns. The shapes of the cir
die frame are almost all alike, but
some come higher than others, and
are more bluntly fashioned on the
upper edge. Featherbone, stiffened
net and buckram are all used.
Among these girdles is the so-called
"waistcoat," and of waistcoat girdles
there are already two varieties. Both
fasten in the middle of the back,
where the girdle tapers to very
narrow width" and strap buckle
is used for fastening in either case
The front of the waistcoat girdle Is
at least six times the height of the
buckled ends. 1t rises broad and high,
is without a seam in front, and is en-
bellished by two rows of tailored but
tons which are close together at the
bottom of the west" and are spaced
farther apart in groups of two, spread
ing widely at the upper edge.
Small stitched Sits on either side
of the second lower group of buttons
indicate the presence Of thumb peck
cts, as seen in mans waisteoat.

The Number of Presidents.

ut Is curious to note the number OF
mistakes made in weli-informed
quarters" said a thoughtful man
Here is Boston paper which calmly
remarks that Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt
is our twenty-ninth President He is
not. Nor is his the twenty-ninth Pres
idential term. The facts are thus
stated: The first Presidential term be-
gan March 4, 1889, though the Presi-
dent was not actually inaugurated till
April 80. On March 4, 1905. twenty
nine terms of four years each were
completed and the thirtieth term te-
gan. AS to the separate individuals
who have held the office of President
of the United States. they are, in their
order, Washington, John Adams. JEFF
ferson, Madison. Monroe, John Quincy
Adams, Jackson. Van Buren,, William
Henry Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Taylor,
Fillmore, Pierce. Buchanan, Lincoln,
Arthur. Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison.
Mckinley and Roosevelt-twenty-five.
and no more. OF these nine have been
elected for a second term; but two.
Lincoln and Mckinley. were killed
soon after the second term began
Tyler. Fillmore. Johnson and Arthur
became President without having been
elected to that office, and each served
but a fraction of term. Mr.. Rooso-
welt became President in the same
way. but has made new record by
subsequent election to the office which
he first held by succession under the
Constitution. New Orleans Times

HOW To SERVE ICES.

A charming way of serving ices at
a child's party is to line common
flower pots, two inches and half in
diameter at the top, with parafin pa
per, afterward filling nearly full with
ice cream Sprinkle with grated
sweet chocolate to represent earth,
and stick flower in the top.
Another pretty way is to make a
basket with four ladyfngers, cut
square at the ends, and fastened in
visibly with little wooden toothpicks.
Tie a ribbon around the basket TO
hold it firmly, and flower on the
plate, and be sure that the ribbon and
the flower harmonize in color. AT
this season yellow ribbons and vel
low tulips, or green ribbons and white
narcissus, are especially pretty. A
little later apple blossoms and pink
ribbons will be delightful.
And there are many other attrac-
tive ways of sewing, proper taste sug-
costing much along this line.

MOISTURE IN THE SOIL.

It is well known that wet land will
produce only few classes of aquatic
or semi-aquatic plants, and yet the
success of farming depends upon the
retention of moisture in the soil. This
apparent contradiction is not very
we'll understood by the mass of farm
ers. The ordinary farm crops will not
gov in soil that contains water-they
will not grow in soil that does not
contain water. We must draw the line
between the sufficiency and the ex-
cess. And another marked feature is
the fact that generally the excessively
wet ground soonest becomes Excess
sivly dry.
Hence the ideal soil for cultivation
and for growing our important field
crops is that which soonest throws of
all excess of water and longest retains
the quantity which we call moisture.
The value of undertaking is an aid
to this very thing. The fact that there
is a channel beneath the surface ever
ready to carry off the water after it
has pecolated through from the sur
face. keeps all the ground above the
drain porous SO that the excess of
water may readily find its way through
to the drains. and, being porous. the
particles catch and hold minute drops
and thus retain moisture.
Deep blowing and keeping the land
constantly stirred has this same eff
feet, and that is the chief value of
what we call cultivation. But clay
lands that have been long run to Gull
tivated crops lose their humus, de-
cayed and decaying vegetable matter
whose particles hold the earth par
ticles apart, and make the ground por-
GUS, and such land runs together as n
result of each wetting. The moisture
then quickly dries out and the crops
can not grow.
In such case, it is up to the farmer
to restore the humus to the soil and
make it porous again as it was origi-
nally from the forest leaves and the
decaying roots and stems of the plants
of ages. This indicates the turning
under of green crops, and perhaps the
farmer has no surer and better means
of restoring the Productivity. Of his
fields than turning under a succession
of growths whether green or ripened.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
R. ADAM 3 Cos .sweekIy Review d

R. G.Dun & Co.'S weekly Review OF
Trade says:
Erratic weather has tended to make
trade reports somewhat irregular; but
on the whole the weeks results were
satisfactory.
1t is noteworthy that much business
for Fall delivery has appeared, and more
supplementary Spring and Summer con-
tracts are being placed than jobbers an
ticipated. Mercantile payments are also
increasingly prompt.
Industrial activity expands, iron fur
naces and steel mills maintaining their
good record, textile plants securing
larger orders, and footwear rnanufactur-
ers are able to hold full prices without
curtailing operations.
Labor controversies are few and cause
little inconvenience, while immigration
for the last week was more than double
that of the corresponding week in 1904
Transporting interests are able to han
die the increased business with little
congestion, railway earnings thus far re-
ported for April exceeding last years
by Io2 per cent.
Higher wage scales becoming effec-
tive on May assure freedom from la
Dor troubles at blast furnaces, and there
is little friction at the steel mills, but
the industry will be interrupted unless
iron ore is freely mined Otherwise the
iron and steel industry is in splendid
condition, contracts covering deliveries
well into next year in many departments,
and there is no division that can be
styled dull.
Failures this week numbered 200 in
the United States, against 24r last year,
and 81 in Canada, compared with IL
a year ago.
Bradstreets says:
Wheat, including flour, exports for
the week ending April 20 are I,242,267
bushels, against 1892, 3oI last week; l.
645,42S this week last year; 3,S8S,542 in
1908, and 3,75o,5So in 1902.
Corn, exports for the week are 2,e32,-
6o4 bushels, against 2,2oo,767 last week;
o2o,7o2 a year ago; 1,4oo,oo6 in 1908,
and 376, 1856 in 1902.

THE UNI.EDY GIRL.

II girl is unusually pretty and at
the same time untidy she may sue
coed for time in making man for
get her untidiness.
But it will be only for a time.
He will tolerate in the sweetheart
what he won't put up with for an in
slant in the wife.
And, mind you, girls, it takes unusu-
al beauty to make it palatable in the
Sweetheart.
If girl does not take the trouble
to make herself look tidy and attrac-
tive for the man who is counting her
she certainly won't do so after mar
riage.
Men love tidiness, and do not think
any man is ever happy in a home
where things are always at skies and
sevens.
An untidy wife and an ill-kept house
will wear out the most ardent love.
No matter how plain girl may pc
II she keeps herself Immediately neat
and dainty in her appearance she
will be pleasant to look upon.
When a man is paying attention to
o girl he certainly has the right to
expect that she will take the trouble
to make herself look as charming as
possible when she expects him to call
on ner.
And when he takes her out, natural
ly he likes to see her look pretty and
nicely dressed.
He likes aer and is proud of the
good impression size makes on others.

"A GOOD HINT.

Do you milk the cows in the same
bucket. and pay no attention as to
which gives much milk or little, and
as to which ones milk makes the
most cream and the best butter? That
is neither progress nor up-to-date. A
COW is a COW when it comes to feed
ing. but there is great difference
when it comes to milking and MAX
ing butter. You are entitled to the
best, and you ought to have it.

PAsTURING THE STOCK.

Let the stock go on the pasture
gradually. We have seen Uncle
Threadbare shut off full winter feed in
p. single day. and drive his cattle out
on the pasture that was just beginning
to show hint of green. The old man
would growl if he were suddenly shut
OF from diet of biscuit and ham and
eggs, and put suddenly on diet of
corn bread and molasses. He forgets
that "the merciful man is mindful OF
his beast"

WHIsK BROOM HOLDER.

A clever woman has put her knowl-
edge of basketry to good account in
the fashioning of whisk broom hold
er. ThiJ consists of two disks OF
basket work similar to those used for
the bottom of fancy basket and
caught together at the sides with
large, fluffy bows of three-inch satin
ribbon, the color being a delicate pink,
in harmony with her room furnishings.
A band of ribbon of narrow width, but
matching in tone, is used to suspend
the holder.

ABOUT THE SOW.

Don't be in too big hurry to dis
pose of the old SOW. There may be
danger that the large sow may over
lay or injure some of her pigs, but it
is worth while to give her little more
attention until the pigs are old enough
to take care of themselves which
will not take many days. The practice
of raising pigs from young sows all
the time weakens the vitality and re-
duces the size of the hogs. Pigs from
well matured sow are the strongest
and best.

GRACE IN WALKING.

If you want to walk gracefully don't
look at your feet, but hold your head
well up in the air. Don't shuttle. A
little thoughtfulness and practice n
high stepping will soon break you of
this ugly habit. Don't bend back at
lie waist under the impression that
you are thereby walking erect. 1t
throws the stomach forward and is :
most as inimical to grace as round
shoulders Finally, don't allow your
selw to walk "pigeontoed"-tha Is,
with the toes turned in. You can
never be graceful in movement while
you do. 1t is always hard 70 tell what
to do with the hands. The natural
way is not beautiful, but is sometimes
obviated by carrying parcel.-Utica
