LABOR NEWS.

The national convention of the Unit
dianapolis has adjourned after author
izing national and district officers to
sign wage agreements with any soft
coal operator who would agree to pay
the scale Of 1903 OF it's equivalent for
period of two years. Work was or
dered suspended in the remainder of
the bituminous districts and the en-
tire anthracite field. 1t is estimated
that about $4,000 union miners will
continue at work for employers who
agree to pay the increased wages de-
manded.
The street car strike situation at
Winnipeg. is rapidly assuming startling
proportions. The mob has assumed
such threatening attitude that reg
ulars have been called out and a de-
tachment of Royal Canadian mounted
rifles are patrolling the streets. In
several instances bay0net charge
has been necessary to disperse the
crowds.
The Pittsburg Coal company and
half a dozen other bitumfnous oper-
ators in the Pittsburg district have
signed the scale demanded by the
Miners union and work has been re-
sumed after one days idleness. The
advance granted means an increase in
wages to the miners of that district Of
$4,000 a month.

INVESTMENT IS
ONE OF THE BEST
No Equal Expenditure Of Labor and
Money Will improve the Farm
as Much as Trees.

IuOU0y VIII Improve the = ar"
as Much as Trees.
In an article taken from an ex-
change President Worst, of the
Agricultural College stated that
every farmer should have from five
to ten acres planted in forest trees,
and in part said as follows:
1T would greatly improve the
appearance of the landscape and in
a short time become a source of
profit. It has been demonstrated
that five acres planted with the
right kind Of trees and properly
cultivated will, at the end of six or
or eight years be more profitable
than the same area planted to
wheat or other grain. After the
trees are we'll started they need no
other attention than that necessary
to prevent fire destroying them.
'It does not cost a great deal to
plant and care for five acres of tim
ber and the investment is one of
the best a land owner can make.
For looks alone it is worth more
than the cost and for future fence
posts, fuel, etc., five or ten acres of
timber will prove Of great value
Such varieties as American elm,
soft maple, white and green ash,
blackberry and California poplar do
we'll and box elder answers a good
purpose as a nurse tree, to be re-
moved as soon as the trees begin
to crowd each other. The cultiva-
tion required is about the same as
corn should have, but cultivation
becomes unnecessary in about five
years. By that time the shade
and dead leaves will be sufficient
to keep the soil in a loose, moist
condition, such as trees require.
Il feel certain that, all other
things being equal, a quarter Sec
ton Of land containing five acres
Of good healthy timber five years
old, as against a quarter section
with no trees on it will out sell the
latter three times the total cost Of
the trees. If it will not, then the
buyer-well the less said, perhaps
the better. But plant trees. They
beautify the landscape they make
both summer and winter more
agreeable; they make the growth
of small fruits possible and they
elevate the minds and hearts of
men. No equal expenditure Of
labor or money will SO improve the
farm as that used for the purchase,
planting and cultivation of tree for
a future fuel supply, shelter belts
or for ornamentation. For. ex-
plicit information as to species that
will thrive here, where obtained,
how to prepare the soil, how to
plant and how to cultivate them,
write to the Agricultural College.
Bulletin will be sent on request.

You may accept this fact and
stow it away in your conscience,
that the ''booze fighter" the fellow
who's hold daily communication
with the Liquid fire that slumbers
within the meek and wild-eyed
demijohn," stands a poor show for
advance in this busy world COM
pared with the fellow who does not
drink. Time was when it was
quite the thing to get drunk, yes,
roaring drunk but that time has
passed away-and in these days
the world grows better and sobrie-
ty must prevail. The "booze fight
ter" stands no show in the busi-
ness world. The commercial world
has taken a strong stand against
intemperance- it has little time
for sentiment and none for the
drunkard. It is fact that all
railroad companies refuse to en-
ploy men who have even the
slightest taint of being addicted to
booze. Professional men lose
standing through the drink habit
and no man is to be relied on who

Id be country editor, and
chase around for news before I'd

ease, than--sit down to a royal feast
with stomach like John DIS. To
romp and frolic with my kids
around our cheerful herath, with
their mother for the audience, to
help enjoy the mirth, is better than
to move about in high society,
where dresses and jewels, false dis
play, made life a mockery. IT'S
true the printers cash gets short
and duns come in hurry, but the
happy fellow does not fret, helets
the ''dunner' worry. He always
has a conscience clear, disposi.

other joys, besides the chase for
money. For the moulder of opin-
ion is a happier man by far than
the man who owns a palace, a

he goes to his reward he knows
that all is we'll, while the man who
makes his wealth his god may some
