Packingtown Episode.

Mr.. Neill made reference TO his re-
cent packing-hOuse investigations ny,
saying that he had been very busy
with things other than strictly labor
matters.
Mr.. Nein said that the brotherhood
was unique organization. in that il
represents one OF the most successful
labor movements in this country. This
because OF the fact that it represents
80 per cent of all the members Of the
craft
He then said that the bookbinders'
brotherhood was, an ideal institution,
and that he believed that every trade
union is perfectly willing to say and
admit that what this organization has
done is what the others hope to at
tain.

try, and especially in labor circles,

The fact of this meeting this morn
ing. that fact that these distinguished
gentlemen are gathered on this stage, y
said Mr. GOmpeTs, strikes me very
forcibly that this will mark a great
epoch in the labor movement.
Twenty years ago the door of de

there should be any one thing at the

Labor will take in national politics, un-
less Congress Is willing 20 grant them

Low AND HIGH PRICED LAND.

Its worth noting that the high priced
lands of Illinois and other sections
Of the west-land which sells for $50
and upward per acre-are almost inva-
riaoly worked with the COW. In fact,
there Is no type Of farming, save dairy
ing, which will keep up the fertility Of
such land and enable it to pay fair
interest on its valuation There is a
lesson here worth needing by the own
ers Of lower priced lands, for il mod
ern methods Of dairying can be made
profitable on high priced land they GER
tainly can be applied with greater
profit to lower priced lands. The dairy
farm is always productive farm, the
soil becomes more and more fertile and
all crops raised on it larger and more
profitable. Dairying Is the one business
which will never be overdone in this
country and affords the surest and
safest way for man to improve his
farm and get on his feet financially
II man has a poor farm and is in
debt we know of no better way for him
to get out Of his trouble than to keep
all the cows he can take good care of
and raise as much poultry as possible
Doing this, he will soon get rid Of his
mortgage and double his crop yield.
Thousands of men have done and are
doing this very thing with almost uni
form success
