SIMPLIFIED SPELLING
Has Been Adopted by the Homer Fits
Co. in Their Advertising.

Recently a board of twenty eight of
the foremost educational men In the
United States was formed for the pur-
pose OF Fastening the time when the
English language should become the uni
yersal language of the world. The
boards chief aim il to arouse wider
interest in English spelling and TO call
attention TO its present chaotic condi
tionr-a condition far worse than that
existing in any modern language. The
board believes that when the people who
speak English are fully awake to the
many disadvantages of their present
spelling, they will be glad to help every
effort 10 better il, as 1t has been slowly
bettered by individual effort in the past
Financially, the board is supported
By Andrew Carnegie, and mentally and
physically by such men as Prof. Bran
der Matthews OF Columbia university,
D. J. Brewer, justice Of the United
States supreme court, Prof. w NJ James
OF Harvard, Prof. T. II. Lounsbury Of
Yale and Lyman T. Gage, ex-secretary
of the United States treasury.
Judging from the rapid strides the
board is making, its only a question
OF few years when our spelling books
today will be Of no practical use. The
Homer Fits company, by adopting these
advanced ideas show their determination
of always keeping abreast" Of the
times.

INDEPENDENT LABOR
PARTY IS FORMED
Explained That Labor People Have Re-
ceived Little Recognition From
Either of the Great Parties.

New York, Aug. 10.-~A new political
party to be called the independent labor
party, was formed here last night at a
meeting called at the suggestion of the
executive commmittee of the Central
Federated Union, and composed Of about
rs members of local labor unions. II
was stated that the union had deter.
mined to enter into independent politics
this year and had mapped ont plan
to have a labor party organization in
every assembly district Of greater New
York.
Members of the unions will be in
yited to form clubs in their assembly
districts and from each OF these clubs

the general committee Of the independ-
ent labor party.
In a speech explaining the new organi-
zatim, James Hatch said:
'The labor people have received little
recognition from either party. There
are labor laws on the statute books but
they are there for ornamental purposes
and are not enforced.
president Roosevelt will enforce the
eight hour law, but it would never have
come to his attention had it not been for
the labor rising all over the country"

close to midnight and there was not
much chance of meeting vehicles. The
farm wagon which was struck was

he jumped. Apparently Brown saw the
wagon Just too late. He swerved and
avoided running into both horses. but
he took the feet from under one Of
them and crashed into the heavy truck
behind.
The blow smashed the wagon and over
turned ii, scattering the produce all
over the ground for hundred feet !
The horse which was struck was fear
fully mntilated. Woodcock and Wal
Ter were hurled through the air and
both landed on the head and their skulls
were crushed in. Woodcock was dead
when picked up. Waller was still alive
and an automobile party which came
along offered to take him to st. Johns
hospital The car reached there in
few minutes, but Waller was dead.
Waller was married few weeks ago.
A few days after his marriage his
