PREACHING UNIeNIsM.
Unique Methods Adopted by Chicago
Labor Unions.

CHICAGO, July 17.-Drums and flags
drew a crowd of spectators last night to
the strangest labor union meeting ever held
In Chicago. Under an arc light at the COR
ner of seth street and Cottage Grove ave-
nue. union leaders alternately preached the
gospel of unonism. sang industrial songs
in ragtme and collected contributions for
the support Of strikers, While hundred or
more onlookers marveled at the new meth
DDS of the Chicago Federation of Labor.
1t was the first gospel meeting ar
ranged by the labor forces of the city.
Those in charge of the meeting afterward
pronounced 1t great success.
With the exception of the fact that tho
union singers experienced some competition
from a Salvation Army band on the oppo-
site corner the labor crusaders suffered no
interruption. The labor "savatiOnlstS,
however. took advantage of the pauses in
the rival exercises.
Preceding the union gospel program
was a street parade In which Transparent
cies figured. The procession was led by a
fife and drum corps and the American flag.
The marchers. after traversing the streets
in the neghborhood, mounted a platform
erected at the Both street corner, where a
stereopticon lantern was pressed into serv-
ic to illustrate the development OF trades
unions.

TOBACCO SELECTION
Result of Experiments in the
Belt States.
THREE MODEL FARMS NEAR
On Lines Laid Out by the Agricultural
Department.
UNDER EXPERT SUPERVISION
Seed Protected-Yield Greater and Of
Better Quality and Brings
Higher Prices

After several years of experiment the-De-
partment of Agriculture feels that 1t has
solved the problem of tobacco selection and
increasing the yield per acre from seed
grown on the same ground where the crop
Is raised. This season practically all the
tobacco raisers of the Connecticut valley,
of Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky and Ten
nessee. and most of those In Florida and a
good many in all the other tobacco states.
have accepted the plan, that the department
has worked out for them in the past four
years and are saving their choice seed UNI
der paper bags to prevent contamination of
the pollen, and on the most carefully man
aged plantations the farmers are raising
tobacco crops that bid fair to double the
yield of the average previous years.
This is no speculation Of what may be In
the future. 1t Is record of what has been
done. and the department Is feeling pretty
good over the result. The cost Of the whole
tobacco investigation has been trtfing,
compared with the results that will follow
this season alone IN any one Of the tobacco
states. The farmers are pleased ana
everybody Is happy except. perhaps. the to-
bacco trust which will have to pay consid-
erably more for its leaf tobacco than pre-
viously In several of the states. But that Is
another part of the same story.

in one or two OF the sketches.
Narrow belts, studded around top and
bottom or all over with little steel nail
heads and with steel buckles or buckles Of
leather studded with steel, appear in all
the fashionable colorings. Other narrow,
straight belts are covered solidly with
tiny beads Of dull or Of bright jet and have
small buckles to correspond.
Shirred girdles of dull gold or OF gray
leather with large leather covered buckles,
such as have been described, are cleverly
cut and shaped and are much more attrao-
tive than one would think, thanks to the
wonderful suppleness and lightness Of the
leather.
Stiff leather belts are rather at a dis
count, but are to be had in the narrower
widths and the prevailing shape lie one Of
moderately wide back and narrow front.
Enamel buckles sat in dull gold or silver,
the enamel matching the leather Of the

Flavors for medicine are demanded by

In the former case n woman will invari-

she affects violet scent she wants violet
scent in her medicine; IL Sandalwood, then
that is the flavor she must have. AS for
Disgusting the flavor in any great degree,
