Does it worry you to have your husband bring
some men home to dinner? ! mean do you feel AFRAID
that your guest will notice that you have misft set
of tableware and that your maid is not we'll trained?
Recollcct that il your guest notices those things
to your detriment he is not worthy OF you.
You are Just as good as the best person who could
possibly visit YOU If you're not it's your own fault
DO the best you can with your service, be sure to
have your food well cooked and paatably seasoned
and then treat your guest as simply AZ you know
how.
II he acts as il nc were better than you he surely
is not AZ good as YOU II he accepts your hospitality
in the same spirit in which you offer it, he is all
right and you'd better have him out again
But it is not worth while for either you or your
husband to bother with people who cannot accept
your ways OF living
II the man who is coming out awes you because he
is rich try to remember ancestor of yours who
made the world better worth living in. II your guest
awes you because of his culture remember that you
are trying to make life worth living to your husband
and your children perhaps you're not but you really
ought toy.
But II the who is coming awes you because
of his blue blood, remember that kind hearts are
more than coronets and tell him his grandmother
was monkey. It'll break the ice.

Who are you, anyway, that he should stand in awe

nant of boy somewhere in your heart YETI

hope you respect him, but just remember that it is
only matter of twenty-five years that separates YOU
He came to this globe later than you but he Is doing
the same act and you really only brothers If
you'd look at it in that way.
Get next to your boy.
Put him next to you.
If he stands in awe of you 1t may be nevertheless
that he doesn't love you, and it's heap sight better
for boy to love his father than to think that his
father is little tin god on wheels.
Because you're not one. You may have the tin
and you may have the wheels, but there is mighty
little that's godlike about you, mOre's the pity
So Just lay away that awful frown and learn to
throw cart,whecs in the, back yard and forget that
you are important
Because on my word you are not important Wed
swing through space just steadily with you OIL

look solemn wouldn't feel half bad as he would II
you brothcred him a little more.

twenty.four. The proposed bill shall
not ann1u a fo 10

twenty-four. The proposed bill shall
not apply to farm labor.
Th1rd-We stand for the most CON-
plete and thorough sanitary inspec-
ton of workshops, and shall insist
upon the passage of more stringent
inspection laws covering sanitation
and the application of proper safe
guards about machinery to protect
life and limb.
Fourth-The courts have so extend
ed their opinions on the question of
contributory negligence in personal
damage suits that it is almost impos-
sible for injured workingmen to Sc
cure redress in the courts. We there
fore insist upon the passage of bill
which will make employers liable for
injury to health, or body, or life,
whether caused by negligence or in
competency of fellow employees or not.
Fifth-We are in favor of home rule
for local governments and for munich
pal ownership of all public utilities.
We promise to remove the obstacles
In the legislature which now prevent
the people Of any community from ex-
ercising their will on any question
which involves their local welfare,
economically or politically.
S1xth-We favor the establishment
of the initiative and referendum, prin-
cipally to be followed by a constitu-
tional amendment, direct nomination
for every elective office in the state,
the recall, direct election of United
States senators.
Seventh-We insist upon the divi-
sion Of labor in state penal institu.
tions SO that their products shall not
interfere materially with those Of free
labor.
Eighth-We believe that the pro-
Queer of wealth has the right to labor
without having to pay for the priv
ilege Of securing job. Therefore we
believe that the state should conduct
free labor bureaus throughout the
state for the purpose of giving work
ingmen information about employ
ment and securing positions for them.
A state bureau now in existence in
Minneapolis is proving to be most sue
cessful, and we therefore demand a
more liberal appropriation for the ex-
tension of free labor bureaus.
Ninth-The farmers and working
men are the wealth producers of the
world. interests or both are Identical,
and we believe that it is necessary
for both to work unitedly and In har.
mony for the promotion of their vel.
fare. We pledge ourselves to cooper.
ate with them in their wants for legis.
lative relief.
Tenth-We believe that the best
interests of labor require the admis.
sion of women to full citizenship as a
matter of justice to them, and as a
| necessary step toward insuring and
raising the scale of wages for all.
Upon motion of Secretary McEwen,
the above platform was declared to
| be laborers' declaration of independ-
ence. and three hearty cheers were
given for political action.
The section referring to farm labor
was considered at length, but it was
the consensus of opinion that it
should not be changed as the laboring
and farming classes are opposing the
same forces and should support each
other.
A full account of the meeting will
be given in the next issue.

STATE LABOR MEETING
MOST SUCCESSFUL IN
HISTORY OF UNIONS.

we pass through some unpleasant ex-
periences. But I know OF nothing IN
the field of economics capable OF bring
ing the returns Of the union label

to see any difference between the en-
ployer who will not employ union men,
and the union man who purchases the
products of non-union men. Yes there
is a difference. The employer may be
consistent. but the union man in this
case can never be.
Have you ever paused to think how,
through the endless chain process, al
most overy economic i'll of which we
complain can be remedied by the ap-
plication of the union label.
1t is said that one eigth of the
population Of the United States are
directly connected with the trade I'M
ion movement. These represent great
portion of American consumers. Sup
posing now that in every home where
the bread winner carries union card,
the whole family were patrons of the
union label. what would be the result?
Let US see. The sweat shop would
go. That would be good. Child labor
would stop, because there would be
no market for the product. That would
be better: Unsanitary workshops
would be abolished, and an effective
step in combating decease would be
made. That would be splendid. The
eight hour day at good wages, and
under wholesome working conditions
would be realized without strike.
1 could take up the balance of the
day enumerating the benefits which
could be derived by our loyalty to the
union label.
The Union Label! Mr.. Parry calls
it the badge of servitude. but as that
gentleman and his associates have the
faculty Of transposing everything good
and bad in our Industrial life that in
wolves the interests of workingmen, we
in their manufactured opinion OF the
merits of labor's badge of honor and
fairness.
The organization of Woman's union
label leagues ought to be encouraged
by every sunion in this state. Get the
women in the home interested in the
union label, and great good will be
done the cause. The cigarmakers,
boot and shoe workers, garment work.
ers and printers have helped to make
the union label popular in this state.
Let us dc our duty union men and
purchase only such goods as bear the
union label.

Is a VentabIe Death Hole on Account
of Excessive Heat
Death valley is veritable hole at
this time on account of the excessive
heat. In spite of the i'll advised state
ments printed from time to time that
the valley and the surrounding desert
are not dangerous to level headed
men, news comes in that prospectors
are becoming lost and that seasoned
miners and their animals are dying
from heat and thirst.
In Amargosa canon work has al
most been suspended on the Tonopah
and Tidewater Railway. A large
number of workmen have died from
the terrific temperature.
The crews have been working in a
canon, covered with sand and with out
a sign of vegetation. With no water
other than that hauled through the
burning desert in large tanks, they
are unable to withstand conditions.

taken only three bottles of Peruna.
AZ shall never cease praising Peruna,

systemic catarrh claims many victims
because this disease is not always I'M
derstood, and therefore not correctly
treated.
What is needed is an internal catarrh
remedy which exerts healing effect
ON the mucous membranes of the entire
body.
such a remedy is Peruna. The sim
cere letters of those who have eXpe-
rienced its benefits in such cases are
evidence of its medicinal value.
If your druggist does not keep
Peruna in stock, send remittance to
cover price of one bottle, $1.00, or
six bottles, $500, to the Peruna
Drug Mfg. Co., Columbus, Ohio, and
the medicine will be forwarned to

Elephant Power.

How many men would be needed to
pull a weight hauled by an elephant?
Fifty. The answer is the result of re-
cent investigations made to determine
the respective pulling power of horses,
men and elephants Two horses,
weighing 1000 pounds each, together
pulled 1850 pounds, or $50 pounds
more than their combined weight. One
elephant, weighing 1900 pounds, pull
ed $3.50 pounds, or $3.50 pounds less
than his weight. Fifty men, aggregat-
ing about 1900 pounds in weight, pull
ed $3.50 pounds or just as much as the
single elephant. But like the horses,
they pulled more than their own
weight. One hundred men pulled. 12,-
900 pounds.

The Robin and the Caterpillar.

The robin hops along in the furrOw
and picks up worms as the farmer
plows, which it eats itself or carries to
its nest as food for the young robins.
The robin prefers smooth coated
worms, such as the common earth
worm. but if such food is scarce it does
not disdain the fuzzy caterpillar. 1t is
an evil day for the caterpillar when a
robin strikes it. The robin picks it up
and shakes it and shakes it until it
shakes the spines out of 1.-THE fur, as
the children call the caterpillar's fuzzy
coating-leaving the caterpillar bare in
patches and sometimes all over and
shaken all out of shape. Then the
robin eats it or carries it off to feed it's
young.

Moved to take pianos, wardrobes ana

lighter goods are taken by the women

form an ordinary load for one woman
"She carries these by placing one on

five are tied, forming a sort OF cage

THE FLAG REVERSED.
A Fishermmn's Emblem That Tells OF
Distress and Hope.

A FAaherman's EN- b1em That Tells Oh
Distress and Hope.
One of the frequent sights in the
ports along the eastern coast is that or
a fishing schooner coming into the har-
Dor with an American flag hoisted at
the mainmast head in its reverse posi-
ton. To the interested spectators that
flag always brings a pang of distress,
for it means that one or more of the
crew are missing" through some calam-
ity of the sea. But to the members OF
the craft itself the signal is not always
an emblem of woe. The flag is hoisted,
from their viewpoint, to notify those
concerned that the complement of the
ship is not full, and they live on hope
for a long time before they acknowl-
edge that the men who have disappear
ed are really lost.
A stranger to seafaring ways asked
the skipper of one of these fishing
schooners the other day what the dis
tress signal meant, and he was set
right by the captain, who remarked in
the most cheerful way in the world:
They're missing out of th' crew, of
course, but we haven't given them up
by a long sight. Ye see, they may
have been picked up by some other
boat an carried off to tn other side.
oh. no, we don't give them up just be-
cause we've missed them! It's more
than likely they'll turn up yet"-New

A WONDERFUL MEMORY.
The story Marcus Told of a Young
COrsican Marvel.

Marcus tells US that during his tray
els over Europe he met the marvel OF
marvels" at Padua. The marvel IN
question was a young Corsican who
was in the city for the purpose of pur-
suing his studies at the university.
Marcus having heard that the young
man was gifted with an extraordinary
memory, desired to put the student to
the test.
The person who had informed the
traveller concerning the wonderful re-
tentiveness of the young Corsican's
memory declared that he was so gifted
in that faculty that he could repeat as
many as $4,000 words if read over to
him but once. Maretus and three dis
tinguished Venetians agreed to test the
accuracy of the statement A commit
tee visited the student of extraordinary
memory and found him willing to sub
nit to the ordeal. Accordingly there
was read over to him an almost inter
minable list of words strung together
without any consecutive order and
without any meaning whatever.
The young man stood all the time
with his attention deeply fixed and his
eyes half closed. When the long string
of words had been read off he looked
up cheerfully and repeated the whole of
the uninteresting catalogue of words
without a single fault. Then to show
how carefully his wonderful memory
had retained every word he went
through the list backward. When that
task was finished he took each alter
nate word-first third, fifth, etc.-and
repeated them until the company was
thoroughly convinced that they were in
the presence of the most wonderful
prodigy of memory that the world had
ever produced.

sell the entire tract TO the university but their
figures were high that the university council
