burg, n. Y. Farmers in that vicinity
have organized and asked for utilization
with the Central Labor Union, says the
New York World.
The only rock in the path of the
brand-new idea Is whether a union
label can be affixed to vegetables. If
farmers can overcome this difficulty
they will be welcomed by the labor
unions and walking delegates viii in
clude kitchen inspection among their
duties.
The farmers recently met at Sears
VILE and formed the Orange County
Union Their Idea is to cut out the
middleman's profits and sell directly to
consumers. For some years exactions
by commission merchants have grown
and profits TO tlllers of the soil have
been cut. The plan is to form com
pany composed exclusively of members
OF the union to operate a large ex-
change in Newburg and deal directly
with the people, selling union potatoes,
tomatoes, cabbage and garden truck of
all kinds slightly below present non
union prices. To secure cooperation of
the labor interests the farmers have
asked to join the Central Labor Union.
Union men In Newburg are enthusiasts
tic over the project and say they will
need no compulsion to purchase union
vegetables n the prices are lower. 1t
is acknowledged, however, that the
question OF how to place union labels
on goods Is perplexing, and unless solv-
ed may keep the farmers outside the
breastworks OF organized labor.
1t is maintained by some persons that |
every vegetable must be STAMPED.
Thereupon critics ask how It will he |

create work for the unemployed. Then
there has arisen the problem of how
succotash can be labeled.

A new argument in favor of news
paper advertising comes from Des
Moines by way of Waverly, Iowa. The
editor Of the Waverly Democrat a
weekly paper with no special interest
in the fortunes of its daily neighbors,
reports an Illuminating conversation
| with q successful Des Moines merchant
who said, speaking of his advertise
ments:
"They pay in two ways. They bring
customers to our store, and they keep
down our expense for clerk hire fully
one-half, for the ads make it possible
for one clerk to do the work of two
They prime the customers with the in
formation that they would otherwise
have to get from the clerk at the ex-
pense of his time.
Having read our announcements, in
four cases out of five, a customer
comes into our store knowing just what
he wants and just what he will have
to pay, and all the clerk has to do is;
to produce the goods and get the
money for them. In a store that adj
vertises properly there are very few
people who come in just to look
around and as a consequence business
moves easily and briskly."
The merchant went on to say that
several years ago, when one of his
partners thought that the advertising
bills were too high, the firm dropped
its Saturday ads, just to see what
would happen.
There was the usual rush Monday,
and the partner who wanted to cut
down the advertising smiled triumph
antly. But he laughs best who laughs
last. The man who tells the story saws
that when night came everybody in the
shop was worn out. Heads of depart
ments said they must have more help.
Yet the sales were the lightest of
any Monday for a year An unusual
number OF buyers did not know exact
" what they wanted and the clerks
time had been consumed in helping
hem make their conclusions. On other
Mondays their conclusions had been
made In advance by reading the ads.
No doubt merchants in other towns
'ould give similar testimony. A force

Attention was lately called by Arbo-
riculture 10 the way the farmers rob
themselves when they cut down small
trees. The writer says that ten years

thousand apple-barrels held together by
hickory hoops, TO make which sixty
four thousand young hickory trees had
been cut down. The barrel hoops had
been sold for about four hundred dol
lars. II the trees had been allowed TO

DEVELOP HOME SPIRIT.
BY Juliet V. Strauss.

The individuality of the home is a thing in
regard to which 1t pays to be selfish. There
is certain spirit that dwells in quiet rooms,
which, when once driven away will never re-
turn. Too many strange faces will drive her
away, too much absence will Danish her.
Once you have lost her-the sweet home
spirit-nowhere IN pleasures and palaces will
Won find her again. But she VIII haunt You.

Cuba to go Alone.

HAvapa, Noy. 24.-With the compile.
tion of the enumeration of the popula-
ton of Cuba. there has bsen accom-
plished the first step in the direction OF
the termination of the American inter.
vention and the Establishment of the
Cuban Republic.
Pending the difficult task of tabulat-
ing, the results probably will not be
known for some weeks. Taking prece.
dence of all other features of the census
is the preparation of the registration
lists by municipalities and words. Theee
naturally will be subject to much re-
vision, involving much delay.
An estimate by one of the most &C.
complished statisticans in the service of
the PROVINCIAL government places the
population at 1900 600, of which 400, 900
are foreigners not entitled to the fran
chlse.
An element that may prove to be of
prime importance in the coming election
is the health of Joe Miguel Gomez. 1t
is rumored that the general is afflicted
with a dangerous ailment which may
compel his retirement from the field, in
which event a reconciliation of the
Miguelista and Zayasista factions is not
improbable,
A singular feature OF the present sit
uation is the utter antipathy with when
the Cubans appear to regard the prep

their republic. At no time sin e the IL
