its Chief Use and Method Of Deter
mining Good from Bad Explained.

White Lead is the standard paint
material all over the world. 1t Is made
by corroding metallic lead into white
powder, through exposing it to the
fumes of weak acetic acid and carbonic
acid gas; this powder is then ground
and mixed with linseed oil, making a
thick paste, in which form it is packed
and sold for painting purposes. The
painter thins At down to the proper
consistency fol- application by the ad.
dition OF more linseed oil.
The above refers, of course, to pure.
genuine White Lead only. Adulterated
and fake white Lead" Of which there
are many brands on the market, is
generally some sort Of composition
containing only a percentage Of white
lead; sometimes no White Lead at all;
in such stuff, barytes or ground rock.

The blow-pipe flame will reduce

FARM WORK FOR UNEMPLOYED

There is every reason to believe that
the conditions of trade and industry
are improving. The dark clouds that
obscured the sun of our prosperity in
different sections OF the country and
which were felt all over are passing
Gradually, but with increasing speed,
the sudden Nightmare that overlook
and Frustrated the business and labor
interests of the country is relaxing its
harpylike grip and the country seems
to be resuming its normal activity and
hopefulness.
But the effects of that tremendously
sudden attack of fear and nervous
prostration are still with US. There
have been numerous losses for the
rich. but, worse than that. there have
been weeks and months of idleness for
the unemployed who could i'll AFFORD
to lose the wages they have not been
able to earn. Thousands are still out
of work all over the country, and it
may be some time before the majority
can find employment at their former
work
Many of these men have families
and homes which they would be re-
luctant to part from even temporarily.
But there are many others who are
free to go where employment awaits
them.
Reports in this section of the coun-
try, in fact all over the west and in
the east as well, of the outlook for
great crops are more than favorable.
But the old complaint from the farm
ing sections that the 1aborers are few
comparatively, is again heard. Work
ing on farm does not accord with the
tastes and aspirations of many of the
young men of the period; but in a
great number of cases 1t would be the
best thing that they could do. For a
stout, energetic young man there is
no moro wholesome employment, and
| If he is inclined to make the most of
his opportunity, there is no more
promising vocation. The enlightened
| farmer is today one of the most pros
porous as well as the most independent
! OF workers. The wage-earner on a
| farm can not, of course, expect to grow
| rich suddenly. But by frugality and
| diligence he can make his way In time
| to the ownership of a farm and have
his shase in the prosperity of coming
years. Few of those who remain in
the cities as wage-earners can hope to
/ do as well.
| For the unemployed, therefore, who
are free to seek work on the farms the
present opportunities. east or west.
afforded by the demand for labor by
farmers should be embraced. 1t is in
comparably better to answer that call
than to hang around town, dependent
perhaps upon others for bread and
shelter, waiting like Micawber. for

THE IMNuGRATToN PRoBLEa.


One of the greatest problems to be
settled by the people of the United
States is that controlling the immigra-
ton of people from other shores.
Since the formation of the govern
ment 100000 have come into the
country as immigrants and the past
few years has witnessed a great
change in the class of persons who
seek the shores of America. The early
immigration came from the British
Isles and from northern Europe, but
gradually the immigration wave has
passed southwark through Europe
and into Asia and today people in
every part of the world are looking to
America as the promised land.
The laws controlling the immi-
grants are admittedly inadequate and
should be so amended that proper
restrictions may be placed upon peo-
pie coming from other countries.
There is no denial of the fact that
people from eastern countries do not
assimilate themselves with people
making up this great country and
that unrestricted immigration of these
people can but result disastrously for
the future of the American nation.
The United States is made up of
people who have been brought up
according to a higher standard than
that which exists in some Of the for
eign countries. The workmen of
America have been gradually brought
to higher plane and today
they find it is impossible for them
to compete in some line with
foreign workmen. who are able to
live, or rather exist, on much
smaller income than that to which
Americans have become accustomed.
Some classes of foreigners make
acceptable citizens, but without any
discrimination against people on ac-
count of their race, color or creed.
it is only right that steps should be
taken to prevent the illiterate among
such people from coming into the
country. Our experience with the
Chinese and other eastern races has
been that they bring about no i'm
provement in conditions IN this coun-
try, that they fail to assimilate them
selves with the conditions of this con-
tinent and that they do not commingle
with the people who have established
the country. This being the case
there is every reason why the inlni-
grants should be selected that only
the desirable be allowed to enter and
aid in continuing the country along
the lines its existence has followed
from its foundation

Prohibition is the latest specter to
worry the United States senators. Like
Banquo's ghost it refuses to down. The
senate judiciary committee is divided
on the question as to whether it is
possible to regulate the shipment of
liquor into prohibition states. The
senators. so the reports from Washing
ton state. would like to dodge the
question entirely, although they will
probably be egged on to some action
by the senators from prohibition states
of which there are now not a few in
the august body. If congress should
pass an act prohibiting the shipment
of liquor into prohibition territory II
would be more possible then to make
prohibition a reality.

DEALING WITH ANARCHY.

The INDIGNATION that has arisen
Throughout the land over the recent

Of Father Heinricks in Denver and the

assassins guided by common I'M

his own victim under the muroerous s
dangerous features of the anarcnism

RETURN OF CONFIDENCE.

The opening of spring, the prospect
of heavy sowing and abundant reap
ing, heavy purchases Of supplies in the
eastern markets, and the increasing
assurance that the government is try
ing to mend matters have done much
to restore confidence in the business
world and strengthen the courage Of
those who were In despair. The coun-
try as a whole is rounding back into
the busy and prosperous life. Plans
are being made for building opera
tons, both in the cities and in the rail-
road extensions. Farm work is clam
orfng for help. The franks OF the un-
employed. about which nervous sta
tisticians make such bother, are not
a drop in the bucket compared with
the demand for farm workers. The
state Of Kansas alone could absorb all
the unemployed in all the eastern cities
and have a little appetite left. The
man or organisation that will invent a
successful plan to shunt idle men from
cities to farms will rank high as pub
