That labor strike in Hawaii which
some persons feared would develop
race difficulties that might engender
trouble with Japan appears in a fair
way to be settled without serious dis
turbance. AS the Japanese laborers
seem willing to return to work, prob
ably the matter has been grossly ex-
aggerated, and for a purpose. Such
things have happened before.

There are fewer numbers of
any class of stock raised upon
the farm than the market de-

the draft horses. ALI stock is
unusually high IN price, the
greatest reason is the general
scarcity that is felt in all market
centers, of late years much more
attention has been given to quail

than formerly, the drafter of
good action is much more useful
on the farm, than the horse whose

of the greatest use on the farm.

THE KANSAS WORKMAN
At Outs With the Supreme
Lodge, A. o. u. w.
And the Supreme Lodge Brings
Suit in the United
States Court

The action of the grand lodge of
Kansas A. O. U. w. in practically
Withdrawing from the supreme lodge
has been met by the supreme lodge
with law suit to compel the Kan
sans to pay over to the supreme
lodge funds raised in Kansas under
supreme lodge law aid held in the
Kansas treasury by order of the
Kansas Grand Lodge.
A few years ago the supreme
lodge A. 0. U. w. found the funds
in some states not able to stand the
demands made upon them and in
the session of 1906 established
fraternal aid fund to help those
Jurisdictions which were not able to
keep up. To create this fund tax
of Is cents month per member was
levied. The Kansas and Nebraska
Workmen felt that they should not
be assessed to pay losses in other
states, as they had not been required
to do before. SO the officials of the
two grand jurisdictions kept the
special fund and we're endorsed by
their grand lodges. The fraternul
aid fund in Kansas amounts to about
SI2o,o 900. The Kansas grand lodge
this year also refused to pay Its su-
preme lodge dues, a per capita tax
of IS cents member, and that
amounts to about $40, 900. The
supreme lodge is suing the. Kansas
grand lodge and its officers for these
two amounts, aggregation S13o, 900.
The contention of the Kansas
Workmen is that they should not be
compelled to make good the losses
of other Jurisdictions. Under the
A. 0. U. w. law a state was fnan-
cially an independent jurisdiction
and the charge of 1906 was un-
favorable to Kansas. In Kansas
and Nebraska the conditions are
better, death rate is lower and ex-
aminations strict, so that it would
be unjust to compel them to pay for
those jurisdictions where the rates
do not raise enough on account of
conditions or conduct of the order.
The semi annual dues to the supreme
lodge were not paid this year because
the kansans saw they were up against
fight and were willing to make it.
The supreme lodge filed Saturday
the suit in the federal court at rope-
ka asking for an accounting of the
funds raised by the Kansas jurisdic-
ton and an order of the court to
make the Kansas grand lodge turn
over to the supreme lodge the money
collected in Kansas for the fraternal
aid fund and for per capita tax to
the supreme lodge.

seller. The American people
are all in hurry and are draft
horses must be able to move
quick and get out of the way of
street cars, wagons, devil wagons
and all other sorts of vehicles,
the draft horse that cannot meet
these conditions will be out sold,
by one that does, and the Per-
cheron meet these conditions.
There is no hocus-pocus about
the breeding and raising of draft
horses, there are many who
would have us believe that the
average farmer cannot succeed
in raising this class of horses.
This is great mistake and with
out any foundation, the draft
horses are as easy to raise as any
other stock on the farm. The
Percheron are easily broken and
are steady in harness meaning
that they don't fret when they
do their work. they are powerful
horses and compactly built,
short in the back, deep in the
body and broad in the chest,
This gives them what we call
good dinner basket and they
have the bestfeet of any drafters,
thev have high cup foot, this
foot will stand work on the pave
ment better than does those of
any fiat footed one, they are
short-coated and thin-skinned
and stand the hot weather the
best of any draft breed. Not all
registered Percherons pass all
these points, few of the horses
reaching the markets are of really
high class character; the major
ity show the need of more good
blood of the draft breeds, there
is no possibility of overstocking
the market SO long as our indus
tries and population grow apace
as they have in recent years.
There is money ahead for every
producer of good draft horses,
there are mum ber of pure-bred
draft stations in Meade county
to sire far more colts than they
have ever had an opportunity to
produce simply because owners
of mares have not realized the
great difference in value between
the scrub and a good big draft
horse, sired by the best stallion
from mares rich in draft horse
blood. Remember you are plan
ming for a horse that will likely
be worker for you or some one
else all it's life. It is worth a
good deal to have action, size and
intelligence, you don't know
what you are to get from a grade
sire, the horse may be good in
dividual but his line of ancestors
may be little of everything and
the colts you get will likely ''stock
back" so you see you don't save
any money by breeding to the
grade stud, the difference in from
SIS to $40 on service fee, l saw
mares bred to grade studs and
their offspring sold when four
years old in the markets and the
next year the same mare bred to
pure bred stud and their
offspring sold when four years old
and the difference ranged from
SIS to SIS.
In the corn belt, in growing
corn one of the factors is seldom
rated at its true worth is first
class motive power, anyone who
has plowed, narrowed, planted
and cultivated with an ill-match-
ed, light-weighted, high-strung
team knows how difficult it is to
good work. No farm hand thus
handicapped can render a service
that is satisfactory to a good
farmer. Farm teams should be
evenly matched as to size and
temperament. The grade Per-
cheron is big enough to keep a
