Golf stories outshine aElsh Tales.

Holing in one is so common that the
feat is apt to pass without comment
To arouse our enthusiasm a golfer
must kill something. A big fish was
killed on the South Herts course at
Totteridge, but not with golf ball.
About a year ago at Newark, however,
golf ball, driven into the river, killed
a trout of two pounds in weight. This
is not a fishing story, but golf story,
and l should be the last to throw sus-
picion on its truth. During tourna-
ment at Hawick gull and weasel
were killed. It only required a brace
or two of grouse and some ground
game to complete sporting bag.-Lon-

NE Of the most important fac
tors In crop production is the
selection of seed. This is i'm
portant not only in producing
large yield, but also In obtaining a
product of the highest quality.
The use of the flaming mill as a
means of sorting OFT the heaviest,
plumpest grains was spoken Of In the
previous article. The Importance Of
this means of seed selection cannot be
too greatly emphasized
One Of the principal reasons for Sc
lecting the largest grains for seed is
that they contain so much more food
for the young plant This enables it
to make a strong, vigorous start.
Such plants have more vitality, grow.
faster and produce larger yields than
plants from shriveled seeds, which
have a struggle for existence from
the time they terminate. Another
reason for selecting plump seed is
that the resulting crop is likely to be
of better quality and will thus bring
higher price when sold. The old
law of like produces like applies to
plants as well as to animals. One Of
the surest ways Of bringing about i'm
proyement Is by using parents of the
desired type year after year.
Selecting seed according to size by
screening out the small grains is not

sizing the necessity of safeguarding free
speech and a free press as guaranteed
by the constitution. He said that after
the fathers had completed the constitu-
ton they found that they had either
omitted or overlooked that important
clause guaranteeing free speech and a
free press and as a result the first
amendment to the constitution was to
cover this defect. In this connection b.
said:
We do not need any such guarantee

king. or the car. What we need to
have guaranteed is mans right to speak
the things that displease. The demands
of the people for reform have generally
been distasteful to those intrusted for
the time being with the control of the
government

THE STRIKE IN SWEDEN.
Washington. D. C, Oct. 26. 1909.

Washington. d. C, Oct. 26. 1909.
To All Organized Labor:
From time to time you have of course
read the newspaper reports of the great
struggle in which the wage workers of
Sweden have been and are now engag-
ed. Sweden. like other civilized coun-
tries. has passed through an industrial
crisis which has forced a great number
OF workers out of employment leaving
them. their wives and children, desu-
tute. Advantage has been taken of tnis
situation by the employing classes to try
and force the workers to accept such
conditions as would eventually lead to
the dismemberment of the organized
labor movement. The Swedish conflict
could not be avoided. Eighty thousand
workmen we're locked out and the re
mainder threatened with a lockout TO
force the workers into an impossible
position. The workers took the other
alternative and declared for and went
out on strike.
These matters have been officially
been brought to the attention of the EN-
ecutive Council and a request made that
all labor. its friends and sympathizers,
should come to the financial assistance
of the Swedish workmen. who are suf-
fering and struggling.
Contributions should be sent direct to
Herman Lndquist. "Iandssekretariat,
Stockholm. Sweden. or to the Swedish
Strike Relief Committee, with headquar-
ters in Chicago. The financial secre-
tary of this committee is John Dawn,
4O41 North Sacramento avenue, Chicago,
Ill.
While thus placing particularly before
you the need of the striking wage work
ers of Sweden, the Executive Council
at the same time desires also that you
should not be unmindful of the need of
the Iron. Steel and Tin Workers of our
own country. who have been for the past
months engaged in great struggle for
the maintenance of their rights and in
terests.
The above is submitted to you, and
through you to your organization, for
whatever assistanee YOU may be able to
render.
BY order of the Executive Council.

tions in turn:
Do you know that the average wage
of the women workers of our country is
less than $4,000 year? Do you know
that one-half of the six million working
women in the United States are under
twenty-one years of age. and that the
conditions of work in many of the
trades into which women have entered
put such strain upon the physical or
ganization that brief service preeludes
motherhood?
We have tried TO tell you very simply
in the following pages what some of
these conditions are; and we believe
that the more you study these conditions
the more convinced you will become
that they are destructive, not only OF all

couohed Up a Live FROG.

Arthur c. Valentine, carpenter liv.

severe fit Of nassau and emitted from
his stomach live frog over an inch
in length. For two years he has been
suffering with stomach trouble and has
been unable to get relief. He thinks
that while drinking water from a
spring on the farm on which he lived
prior to coming to Wichita he took
into his stomach a pollywog and 1t
grew into frog. Physicians doubt
the possibility Of pollywog living and
growing in the mans stomach, but Mr..
Valentine has the frog to show and
members of the family attest the truth

1t from his. stomach. He Is now ell
tirely relieved from the pains and suf'
