Men and Women in Omaha Printing
Company Shop Walk Out.
Every employe in the press room of
the Omaha Printing company, at Oma-
ma went out last Wednesday morning
t, enforce the demand for an eight
hour day. Six Of the twenty who went
out were pressmen, and the remainder
were press feeders, several Of them
girls.
OF course the company claims con-
tract until 1912 and is making q great
howl for sympathy. The alleged con-
tract is one signed by Martin Higgins
while president, of the international
and upheld by Federal Judge Thomp-
son. The contract was never ratified
by the international. On the other
hand it was repudiated by an over
whelming vote.
Pressmen and feeders in other Oma-
ha shops are also out on strike and
the situation is growing warm

TOM JOHNSON AGAIN.

OF Cleveland by an overwhelming ma
jority. This may be considered a
labor victory, for Tom johnson has
been waging labor's fight in Cleveland
for many years. He has made Cleve-
land the best governed city in the
United States. Two years ago he
turned the controller on the first
street car run over the municipal line,
and before he turned it he joined the
Street Railway Mems Union SO he
would not be .scabbing" on the job.
Tom Johnson is all right.

Brand Whitlock was reelected
mayor Of Toledo last Tuesday. We've
forgotten what his political affiliations
are, and don't care to be reminded of
them. He is worthy successor Of

enough. The more men like Whitlock
elected to conduct municipal affairs
the better off this country will be. He

NO UNIONlSTS.

Entirely by Non-Unionists.
Last Saturday c. E. Yates, foreman
of the press room at the New Century
walked out, refusing longer to work
with non union printers. This leaves
the Mccartney shop wholly without
unionists. the shop now being in
charge of what members of the al

Typographical Union No. 209 had a

it,

SEVEN THOUSAND TROUT.
tribute to Stock the Kim
nickinnic with Brook
Trout Fry.

1t will be of interest to the read
ers of this paper to know that prac-
tically all of the gentlemen from
Minneapolis who have enjoyed the
pleasure of fishing on the Kinnick-
innic during the past two years
have this year contributed toward
stocking the stream with trout.
Through the kindness of S. v.
Morris, Jr. of Minneapolis and H.
L. Smith of Valley farm on the Kin
nickinnic, these gentlemen acting
as a committee representing the
Minneapolis boys, personally assist
ed on September in placing 1000
live, frisky yearling trout in the up
per stream between Churchill's
bridge and the Williams farm.
The weather conditions were fa-
vorable when the fish were put into
the stream and by the watchful care
taken by Messrs. Morris and Smith
together with their experience as
nimrods the trout reached their new
home alive, happy and protected
from their larger brethren by being
deposited in secluded places and
springs out of harm S way.

tributing to the fund with which the
trout were purchased are as fol-

The Burlington draw bridge has
been closed for the season and will
not be opened again until April.
During the past season 1887 boats
passed the bridge, against 1855 in
last year. The diminished number
of boats is due to the fact that log
ging is becoming less. The building
of the new pier south of the bridge
is about to be commenced. Prescott

The Florida agriculturist., 1907-05-22
Why He Likes Florida.

"A Pasco county correspondent OF
the Inland Farmer says:
| know there are hundreds Of your
readers who would, if they knew all
the particulars of this lovely climate
and capacity Of our soils for raising
all kinds OF truck, gladly dispose OF
their homes and come and join us
III developing new ones in this lovely
health fine, water so abundant, and
SO few insect pests annoy, where the
greatest variety of products can be
grown in great perfection, and whlch
because OF the scarcity OF such pro-
ducts in other sections OF the United
States, pay SO we'll to grow them.
1t is hard for us to realize that such
disagreeable weather, ice and snow
abound to the extent they do in Ken
lucky, North Carolina, ETC., while we
are eating luscious Klondike berries,
tangerines, grapefruit, oranges and
kumquats fresh from the trees, and
young peaches as large as partridge
eggs. and lots of them.
1he farmers are now busy planting
string beans, velvet beans, and corn.
The main crop of sweet potatoes we
plant in July from cuttings from vines
from rows OF potatoes, not dry, but
allowed to stand over where they grew
the preceding year. The peach crop
is very fine and a largely increased
acreage will be in bearing this year.
One gentleman received $4,000 for
his crop of peaches off of forty acres
last year, and the trees we're but four
years old. They were all of the Jewel
variety and the earliest peach we have.
They are very sweet and juicy and
ripen in May, are freestone and
fair in size when thin11ed, are bright
red checked and ship very we'll in
open express as far as New York.
Usual price t. o. b. is $500 per crate
Of six baskets.
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-05-22

there would be nothing to criticise.
Our stables should be swept down to
rid them OF spider webs and dust.
The floors should be cleaned and the
walls whitewashed. The droppings
should be cared for so that no flies
might breed in them. 1t has been
proven that flies are the means Of
spreading a great deal OF disease
And then, we ought to be more care
full about Our eating and drinking. How
many times we can trace sickness
straight back to some article Of food
we have eaten! We knew at the time
OF it that we did not do the right thing
It may have been large drink of
water at the wrong time. 1t may have
been something that was on the table
Of which we partook too heartily We
need to be always on Our guard here.
It will pay.
And then, farmers are not careful
enough about washing their bodies off.
They sweat wonderfully easy in sum-
mer time; then they sit down and let
their clothes dry on their bodies and
think it is all right No attempt to
wash away the impurities that settle all
over the body when we perspire. No
thought that these impurities must be
absorbed into the system and be a
source Of trouble.
Every man, woman and child in the
country ought to take frequent baths.
Even if they can do no better than to
take a wash basin and towel and go
OUT into the woodshed, that is better
than nothing.
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-05-22
Wise Distribution of Gifts.

1t is we'll that the good things in
Florida are not all congested in any
one place. Her blessings, which are
many like the dews of Heaven, are
generously, wisely and widely distrib-
uted.
Tarpon has her sponge industry !;
St. Petersburg, Homosassa and Punta
Gorda, their fisheries; Tampa and Key
West, their cigar factories; Sanford,
her celery; Hastings her potatoes !;
Myers and Miami, their cocoanuts,
mangoes, Avocado pears, etc.; Starke
and Lawtey, their strawberries; Cole
man, her cabbage; Gadsden, her to-
bacco; Marion, her stock farms, water
melons and cantaloupes; south Florida,
her oranges and grapefruit groves.
And SO these bountiful gifts of one
kind and another are distributed over
the whole state This is particularly
true Of the climate OF Florida, which
is unapproachable by any state in the
Union.

Those who urge the nomination Of

ocratic convention studiously insist
that Mr.. Rryan's friends say he does
not want the nomination. But is this
