ON A STREET CAR.

The Philadelphia Record recently
quoted an observant street car con
ductor to the effect that the right
hand seats are always filled first.
He could not account for this ex-
cept on the theory that as most per-
sons are righthanded and accustom-
ed to turning to the right, it might
be simply force Of habit. There is
another probable reason which he did
not think Of" says the Record. 1T
is generally believed that the right
side of car is safer. An old traveller
once said to the writer: In travel.
ing always sit in the middle of car
and on the right hand side. The mid
die is safer than the ends in COLI
sion and the right side is not likely
to be side-wiped by projecting objects
on the trains, cars or any vehicles
passing on an adjacent track

THE MISSION or THE SMALL IN
vEsToR.

One OF the axioms of Wall Street
philosophy is: The public buys at
the Top and sells at the bottom. This
axiom was shattered last year in the
panic. It is undoubtedly still true
that the public speculator, who trades
on margin, is most bullish near the
top Of boom and most bearish near
the bottom OF depression. There's
psychological reason for this. But
the small investor, with savings in
the bank, has grown in financial wis
dom in the past four years. He has
learned that the country, with its enc
ormousi resources of natural wealth,
comes out of every panic with greater
latent possibilities; that when the
skies are the darkest, then is the
time to wager by wise investment
that the country will live; and that
when everybody is convinced that
this is the greatest commercial nation
on earth, then is the time to convert
stocks in to money Never before in
history has there been seen such a
spectacle of investors buying securi-
ties In panic as In 1907. Sixteen
OF the leading railroad and industries
had 250, 900 shareholders before the
panic and $50. 900 after the panic. A
hundred. thousand small investors,
convinced that the country was sound
and that the big corporations would
weather the storm, took their money
| out Of the banks and bought the
shares of these sixteen companies.
Nearly all the increase shareholders
lists since1904 was made in this panic
The small investors stood aside in
| the boom of 1906 and patiently waited
for the crash. When the ecrash came
they deluged Wall street with buying
orders. They poured their savings in
to the market when the rich specula-
tors, who had failed to unload on the
public at the top, were sweating
blood" under their heavy burden of
stocks. Some of the most powerful
spectators in the country very nearly
reached the end of their resources
I in that panic. The small investors
gained.

DAIRYING IN MISSISSIPPI.
By A. R. Risser.

| Mississippi is annually paying out
thousands of dollars for product
that it might produce and can pro-
duce with profit in excess of the To-
cal demand. Nowhere in the coun-
| try can you find as good market
! for dairy products. Butter whole
sale at thirty cents a pound the
year round cream wholesale at 35
to 40 cents gallon, and only two
months in the year is the supply near
the demand. One of the important
considerations to be given a new
business is that of market for the
product-there is no question Of the
market for good dairy products.
There are numerous other advan-
tages of dairying that Mississippi far
mers should consider, especially so
since they. are face to face with the
boil weevil proposition. The most
satisfactory method of fighting the
boil weevil seems to be by diversifi-
cation. No line of farming lends it.
self to a system of diversification
and with as much profit as does
dairying.
The kind of dairy wish to encour-
age is the one with probably 80
cows. The farm consists of about
$50 acres, has good Bermuda pas
ture, a good barn, silo and water
system. Soy beans, COW peas, sorg-
hum and corn are grown in abund-
ance. If possible, alfalfa is grown

HISTORY or SMALLPOX.

Smallpox appears too have been
first described by Rhazes, an Arabian
physician living about 900 A. D. It
was introduced into Southern Europe
in the times Of the crusades and slow
" spread into the more northern re-
gions. In 1917 1t was carried from
Spain to Santo Domingo and thence
to Mexico, where it is said to have
swept off 100000 of the natives. 1t
spread rapidly all over the new world
and whole villages, and even tribes
Of Indians, were carried off by it.

The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1909-12-04

Lincoln, Nebraska, November "a,
19O9.-In accordance with the consti-
tutional provision l hereby call the
Nebraska Federation of Labor to meet
in annual convention in the city OF
South Omaha, on January 4, 1910. The
representation in the convention is as
follows:
Each trades council or central body
is entitled to one delegate, and each
local union is entitled to one delegate
for each 100 members or fraction
thereof. Proxies are not allowed. The
Farmers Union, ministerial associa-
tions and auxiliaries composed of the
wives, mothers, daughters and sisters
of members of affiliated crafts are en-
titled to one fraternal delegate each.
No delegate will be entitled to seat
in the convention with voice and vote
unless the union of his or her craft is
affiliated with the Nebraska Fedora
ton of Labor and all financial obliga-
tions of such local union to this Fed
Grafton liquidated.
There is every reason why the or
ganized workers of Nebraska should

ers' liability law.
The abolition of the convict labor
contract and lease system whereby
the labor of convicts is put into com
petition with free labor.
The better equipment of the Bureau
of Labor and Industrial Statistics to
the end that the Bureau may not only
advertise to better advantage the re-
sources of Nebraska, but may be of
greater service to the vast and rap
idly growing army of women and men
engaged in Industrial pursuits.
These are but a few of the impor-
tant matters that organized labor
should carefully consider and use the
utmost efforts to forward. The i'm
portance of organization among the
different crafts is we'll emphasized by
the results that have accrued to indi-
vidual craftsmen from organizations
of their respective crafts. Until such
time as the craftsmen of the state
shall have perfected a thorough or
ganization they can have little hope
of securing legislation calculated to
benefit them. In addition to securing

rally to make the Nebraska Fedora
ton of Labor powerful influence in
the social, economic and industrial life
of the commonwealth. Nebraska's
rapidly growing manufacturing indus
tries render it imperative that better
laws be enacted for the propeor safe
guarding of life and limb, and unless
the workers themselves take the mat
ter in hand there is little likelihood
of results being accomplished. At
this time I take occasion to point out
some legislation calculated to benefit
not only the workers and their fami-
lies, but to benefit the entire common
wealth:
The enactment of a law providing
for the establishment of state board
of arbitration and conciliation
The establishment of a state print
ing plant to the end that the state
may, in time, supply school text books,
state supplies, etc.
A revision of the labor laws now
upon the statute books.
