UNION LABOR DOES NOT
DEAL IN BUCKS STOVES
Stoves Made By Head Of Citizen 5
Alliance Widely Advertised
. Here.
Many Firms in Duluth Who do
Not Sell Non Union Stoves
and Ranges.

The Bucks stove and ranges are be-
ing widely advertised in Duluth, but
it is hoped that members of organized
labor will not lose sight Of the fact
that these stoves are on the I'VE
Don't Patronize List" Of the American
Federation of Labor
The Buck stoves are made by COM
pany Of which President Van Cleave,
Of the Citizens Alliance movement is
president. Mr.. Van Cleave is in the
same class with Parry and Post in
his opposition to organized labor. He
is the father Of the movement to raise
a $1,500,000 war fund to crush Or
ganized labor. He recently appealed
to the court for an injunction against
President Gompers publishing his
name in the I'VE Don't Patronfze List
of the American Federation of Labor.
In this issue Of the Labor World will
be found the names of a number of
local firms who handle stoves which
are not UNFAIR to organized labor.
: Why not give our friends the benefit
of your patronage? In any event re-
=: member that true friends of labor are

:ARMsTEAD makes hit
\. IT TRADES AssEMbL !
Delivers Conscientious Speech On
Union Labor Movement From
His View Point.
Admits That He Differs With
Program of Organized Labor
. In Some Respects.

Almost every old-tim unionist In
Duluth was pleased to learn that the
Trades Assembly did the graceful act
in inviting John T. Armstead to de-
liver an address to the delegates last
Friday evening. Ten years ago or
ganized labor and Mr.. Armstead had
a falling out. His laundry was put
on the "Unfair'' list of the Trades AS
sembly. The fight was bitterly waged,
and before 1t was over labor found IT
had a foe worthy of It's steel In Mr..
Armstead. Honors ended about even.
After a few years Of enmity 1t was
found that Mr. Armstead, down deep
in his heart, was not the foe to union
ism that he was represented to be,
and as we got to learn him we find that
he Is man possessed Of the courage OF
his convictions. He gave manifesto
ton of this trait at the Assembly
meeting last Friday evening.
He gave reasons why he honestly
differed with union labor in the matter
of the closed shop and some other
demands Of the unions, but he was
big enough to recognize the value Of
trade unionism as a whole and lost
not time in declaring that the good
they did, far excelled their short COM
ings.
He showed that he had made
careful study Of the economic phase Of
labor question; that the greatest
progress is being made by evolution
airy processes and deplored the fact
that some were too impatient to await
the outcome of safe and sane action.
AS a whole the speech was meaty
and logical; devoid hypocracy and
cant, and absolutely free from am
biguity. That the delegates appreciate
ed his honest differences and sincere
expressions of friendship for the
movement as whole was evidenced
when the speaker was given a rising
vote Of thanks at the conclusion Of his
remarks.

10 to II feet of gas per hour. It
should hardly be necessary to suggest
that the lights be located as near as
possible to the point of use. Reading
by gas jet as ordinarily placed is
hard on the eyesight. Get the maxi
mum possible amount of light by
choosing glassware that is not opaque
or colored and keep it clean. Also,
bear in mind that, 1ncandescent or
mantle burners consume about half as
much gas as open fame burners do
and give three times as much light.
In these days when shoes are going
up in price with everything else, try
making your present pair last as long
as possible by. rubbing with oil once
a. week. This lengthens the life of
the leather wonderfully.
A discarded upholstered cover of a
shoebox makes an excellent pad for
the knees when scrubbing.
In buying rugs. avoid those with
solid colors. No matter how much you
pay for them you will have to wear
them out by sweeping, for they show
every bit Of lint.
Did you ever try stewing fruit In
ordinary stone jars? When all your
preserving kettles are in use or in
lieu of any, you will find this an ex-
cellent substitute. You must, OF
course, heat them very gradually to
prevent cracking.

! TWO KINDS OF CLERKS.

Clerk No. 1 looks at you with a dis
dainful glance from under towering
pomp as you timidly approach and
signify that you would like to look at
so-and-so. Without deigning any re-
mark in reply she looks you over in
a leisurely way and nonchalantly
hands down an article to you, mean
while chewing her cud vigorously. AS
you venture to suggest that this is not
what you asked for, she darts you
naughty look and while she proceeds
to. hunt up the thing you did ask for,
losses bunch of slang to the girl at
the next counter, who happens to at
tract her attention at this time. You
suddenly decide that this is not the
article you want, either, and you de-
part with sigh of relief and betake
yourself to a competing store where
clerk No. 2 has charge of the coun-
ter at which the desired article is
sold. Miss Clerk No. looks up at
you with frank plea, SAINT smile from
under a pomposity at least two inches
less In height than that Of clerk No.
l. She gives you alert, courteous at
tention as you state what you want,
and hands it to you without any side
steps. As she measures it out. she
asks If you have seen some of the
new things in her line that lust came
in yesterday" You have not, but in
two minutes more you have, and five
minutes later, under the magnetism of
her winning smile, several more cart
wheels have rolled out of your purse
to- swell Mr.. Employers exchequer. ii
| I But alas! One day when you go
into the store, you look in vain for
the girl with the smile. She is gone.

cepted an offer Of head of the depart
ment In another store. Some one had
his eyes open. Henceforth you find
everything you want In that particular

FOR
HONE CULTURE

Some years ago Mr.. Edward Box
wrote an editorial for his journal
entitled, "The Skeleton In the Ameri-
can Closet" The skeleton, according
to Mr.. Box, is the spoiled American
child. Surely any thoughtful obser-
yer of our American life must agree
with him. There is scarcely a home
on our free soil that does not harbor
little tyrant. This process of spoil
ing, with it's continual output of des-
pots, would not be so appalling if the
results ended with the child itself or
with the foolish parents who are the
real cause but, when we consider the
countless lives that are brought into
contact with this child as it grows
to manhood or Womanhood, and are
by it harassed and blighted, it ought
to make every parent stop and ask
himself, Am turning OUT curse?"
God forbid. God give us wisdom In
the training of our children. May the
thought Of their future never be alb
sent from our minds and may we
never be tempted TO sacrifice their
eternal destiny on the altar of a pres
ent convenience.
Many parents seem to think that
love to their children consists in hu-
| moring them in all their whims. The
deeper, wiser love gives freely all that
Is best to give, but does not hesitate
to withhold at any cost that which,
In its Judgment, is not best for the
child. Many mothers spoil child in

If you find the baby becoming dis
satisfied with this diet, strengthen it
by adding poached egg or yolk of egg
boiled till 1t is mealy and moistened
with little butter. The best way to
poach eggs is to drop them into water
that is boiling. Then set aside the
dish with a cover over it or if on a
gas flame, simply turn off tn gas,
and in a few moments your egg will
be cooked and the white will be like
jelly. Cook eggs very soft for the
baby-never give it an egg that has
reached the "gummy" stage.
