The Woman Worker.

Woman's increasing ability to sc.
cure employment in gainful occupa-
tions is convincingly shown in some
information gathered by the Washing
ton correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune. According to his statement,
about one in every three women in
the United States between the ages of
l6 and 20 works for a living. There
are over 100000 workingwomen OF
all ages and classes in the country, Al
per cent. being between 16 and "a,

writer's and stenographers. Ii would
appear that women as rule find
work earlier than men, as only 20 per
cent. of the males are less than %
years old. But here is what differen-
tiates the sexes as workers. Most OF
the girls drop out when they have a
chance to marry and start homes of
their own, while the men continue
right along for life, or as long as they
are capable of active effort 1t is the
old, old story, and no doubt will be
while love and the domestic instinct
exist.

Keep the cultivator teeth and the

Keep tomato vines off the ground;
use stakes, brush, or trellis.
Keep asparagus beds clean. Use
the shoots freely until peas are plenti-
full, then stop cutting and allow the
tops TO grow.
The apple tree that has it's head
close to the ground is partly protected
from the high winds that shake the
fruit from high-headed trees.

THE SUPREME POWER.

The bank power is the supreme
power In this so-called Republic.
Grover Cleveland said fifteen years ago
that the banks had power to wreck the
Government in forty eight hours, and
he was in a position to know. The
merchants tremble before the banks.
The whole horde of spectators who
seek profits and gains by means other
than honest old hard work live in con-
slant fear that the banks may slip a
cog and all their plans be pied" The
farmers-the class on whom all earth
ly hopes depend-do not know when
they put the cotton seed In the ground
whether the crop, after all the years
hard labor for themselves and their
families, will be worth thirteen cents
or ten cents or seven cents, because
they do not know what the bank power
may decide to do. And as for the press,
whether Democratic or Republican. it
is simply a megaphone for the banks.
The newspapers Of the popular schools
OF politics pretend to scrap over many
other matters, but when it comes to
DdChiHS up anu d Tc0Cl al
administration in any move that is &C
ceptable to the banks, no matter by
what party that administration was
placed in power, those newspapers are
all one in cheering the administration.
The National bank power is the SUI
preme power on this continent. The
banks want interest, not only on their
own money, but on yours and your
neighbours. 1t is for interest-un-
earned increment-that they live and
operate. The peoples Government
(so-called) has surrendered to the
banks the most vital function of Gov
eminent, namely: that of issuing
money, nd they have the power,
whenever it suits their purpose, to
make money scarce, throw labor out
Of employment, destroy the market for
your products and starve you and your
neighbor.
Think about it.-Farrners' Union.

train come to a standstill within a Few
feet of the burning bridge, the littIe
heroine hurried up the tracks to the
east where a passenger train was
looming up in the distance, and again
frantically waving the red shawl, the
