Donaghey as a Friend of Labor

Donaghey as a Friend of Labor.
 Additional evidence of the fact that the charge of unfriendliness to organized labor preferred against George ". Donaghey by that journalistic villain, the Argenta News, are utterly groundless, is shown by re- solutions adopted by the legisla- tive committee of the state federation of labor at Little Rock a few days ago. The resolutions vigorously condemn the tactics employed by the enemies of MT. Donaghey and warn all friends of labor to pay no attention 10 such charges.
 The resolutions in full are printed below.
 LITTLE ROCK, DEC. 31, 1907.
 Whereas, It appears that there are being published and circulated statements refecting upon George w. Donaghey, al legged to be signed by several local unions; and
 
 Whereas. It is found upon investigation that MT. Donaghey has never been put on the unfair list of the Central Trads and Labor Council of Little Rock, one one of the first bodies before which a charge of this nature should have been preferred, we believe it unjust at this time when he is candidate for gover- nor to undertake to injure his reputation by such tactics There fore, be it.
 Resolved. That we condemn the publication of the matter re- fiecting upon Mir. Donaghey; that we do not believe MT. Dona- hey would do anything to know ingly injure any labor union; that we believe the publication was procured for political reasons to injure MT. Donaghey in his campaign for governor; that we especially condemn the use of such methods to injure a candidate. Be it further.
 Resolved, That we especially warn all friends of labor to pay no attention to such charges and that we | ereby condemn the publication of same.

LADIES TEACHING FARMING.

An interesting fact noted by lead
Ing western educator, State Superin-
tendent Bishop of Nebraska, who Is a
pioneer In the field Of agricultural edu
ration In the rural schools, Is the prom
lnent part which lady county superln-
tendents of schools are taking In the
matter of introducing these subjects
into the courses Of study In the schools
under their charge One Nebraska
lady superintendent has TOO children
at work In agricultural classes. while
pne residing In a southern Iowa coun-
ty has issued Il special bulletin dealing
with practical scientific agricultural
subjects. Some idea of the interest
which the department of public In
struction In Nebraska Is taking In this
fine Of work may be gained from the
fact that arrangements have been
made by Mr.. Bishop to hold the con-
Fentlons of the Nebraska Boys Agri-
fultural society and the Nebraska
Girls Domestic Science association In

is THE INVESTMENT sAFE2


A friend makes inquiry as to the
wisdom Of purchasing land as far west
as Martin county. Tex, which the map
shows To be about a hundred miles
west Of the one hundredth meridian
Generally speaking. the ninety ninth
meridian Is accepted as the agricul-
tural dead line west of which there
Is little use 10 break up the soil for
tilage purposes. \ glance at any civil
map of the United States will show
how uniformly the western tide of set
Element has stopped at this line, as
shown by the location OF towns. As
indicated In this way, 1t Is seen to run
In almost a direct line from the north
ern boundary of North Dakota through
to southern Texas. 1t is 1rue that dur
Ing the past six or seven years the
rainfall has been sufficiently heavy, so
that fair success In purely agricultural
pursuits has been had on lands lying
quite a distance west Of this line while
the breaking up of considerable areas
may have had modifying effect on
drought conditions. But cycle of dry
years Is quite likely to come, and it Is
conditions which will prevail In such
seasons that the land seeker should
take note of IL he has In mind purchas-
Ing a permanent farm home. The ear
marks of this dry country, which is not
lacking In fertility, but in moisture,
are buffalo grass, sagebrush and cac-
tus. Where heritage of this kind
abounds more conclusive evidence Is
furnished of the unwisdom OF pure has
Ing for tlllage purposes than In any
spiel the agent may make, unless, in
deed, irrigation Is possible, when the
situation Is entirely altered. The in
vesting of from $1,000 to $4,000 or
$1,000 In a quarter section of land Is
serious move as well as an important
one for the man Of limited means who
has had to work hard for his savings.
The step should be taken only after
thorough, sober and careful inyestiga-
ton. Better fellow should spend
5000 acquainting himself thoroughly
with a prospective land purchase than
to buy In haste and find out later that
be has been deceived and swindled.
