MINISTER'S JOIN
ORGANIZED LABOR IN FIGHT
FOR WOMEN TOILERS.
By the Rev. Charles Stelzle.

BY the Rev. Ntndrl6S SI6lZlo.
One of the most important struggles
engaged in by organized labor is the
law for the women workers in Illi-
nois. This law was secured after the
most strenuous effort on the part of
working women. Recently, num-
Der of Chicago employers combined in
an attempt to have the law declared
unconstitutional. The Presbyterian
ministers of Chicago and vicinity to
the number of about 200 expressed
themselves very strongly in favor of
the women who are making this fight,
and unanimously passed the following
resolution:
Whereas, In one of the courts of
Chicago the ten-hour law for the re-
striction of women's labor has been
declared unconstitutional, and where
as, such legislation has been enforced
in England for sixty years and in the
state of Massachusetts for more than
thirty-five years, and has been adopted
by twenty-five states in this Union
and declared to be constitutional by
the Supreme Court of the United
States, and,
Whereas, The enactment of this
law is amply justified by the increas-
ing volume and pressure of work upon
women wage earners, and by the in
creasing definite knowledge of the dis
astrous effects of overstrain and long
hours upon women's health,
Therefore be it Resolved, That
the Presbytery of Chicago heartily
joins with the Chicago Federation of
Labor in all proper efforts to create
an intelligent public opinion to sup
port the legal restriction of the hours
of women's work for the protection of
the health and the motherhood of the
working women of Illinois,

WHY DON'T rHEv9

Isn't it remarkable how eager some
employers are to pay higher wages
than the unions will permit them to
pay? We mean those who rant about
the unions holding the best men down
to the same wage level that is paid
the poorest workman. Did any of
them ever have to face a strike for
paying their best men more than the
union scale? Oh! that's different

Potatoes will be Good Price

The Wisconsin potato crop will be
very shor: in yield this year, experts
estimating that the yield will be
only one-third that of normal years.
The crop in Michigan is equally short,
while that in Minnesota is much the
same. The dry weather in these states
is responsible for the short crops.
Maine is another great potato pro-
ducing state and there the crop Is
also short this year on account of ex-
cessive moisture. Aristook county, in
that state, which is in the average
season produces four millions of bush
els of potatoes, will not have one
third that amount this year. The crop
in North Dakota is good, also in Col
orado, but the freight rate will keep
up a pretty fair price on the Color
ado potatoes. All things considered,
it seems likely that potatoes will bring
a big price before another season.
Fair prices are being realized now,
but unless the potato growers rush
their crops to market there is good
prospect of an advance in price be-
fore cold weather.

Reports from threshers so far would

bushels per acre more than fife or

smallest yield for Durum has been 80

OPPORTUNITIES

North Dakota Agricultural College,
Fargo, N. d.
CONTAMINATION you recommend
to me some graduates of your school
who have had managerial experience
and have made good?
l am looking for such a man as
manager of an eleven hundred and
twenty acre farm, highly improved,
in North Dakota.
After guaranteed salary for COL
lege requirements, would want him
TO share in the profits of the business.
Very truly yours,
The above is a fac-simile copy of
letter recently received by the Agr1-
cultural College. The men to handle
such propositions are few The res
possibilities of such a position, where
the land concerned has a valuation of
from $4,000 to $4,000, and where The
problem is to keep up the productive
ness of the land while at the same
time returning to the owner fair
rate of interest on his investment, are
heavy. The agricultural colleges OF
the county are staggering under the
demand for men to supply these and
like positions. Farm husbandry men,
trained on the scientific phases of
farming, make excellent, practical
managers. The time taken for the
completion of their course is short,
being limited to three years of six
months each. The term begins in
October, after the bulk of the years
work is laid by, and closes before the
opening of spring. The cream OF the
AGRICULTURAL course, from the practic-
al, every day stand point, is to be had
in this course. For the practical farm
;er, having a form of his own or for
the man looking forward TO position
like the above, this course offers ad-
vantages not possessed by any other
offered by the agricultural college. 1t
is essentially the farmers course.

Notice to Stock Owners

The best way to fight lice is to drive
down posts in the yard; wind an old
bran sack soaked in crude kerosene
about it and let the hogs do the rest.
The next time you run up against
a contrary hog that refuses to go
through a chute into the wagon, try
the following plan: Clap feed bas-
ket over his head, and he will back
anywhere you want him to go. BY a
little maneuvering you can have the
hog in the wagon before he knows it.
Cows that are allowed to go dry too
long never attain their best.
Provide some device for supplying
water in the stable for the cows.
The COWS that have the most COM
fort are the ones that give the owner
tine most profit.
Don't forget the calves and year.
lings. Don't leave them out in the
cold nights until they are pinched and
haggard.
There lis no surer cause of scours
than dirty feed pals. Be scrupulous-
ly clean as to pals troughs and the
food used in feeding young calves 1t
will save the trouble of carrying
calves through.
More than one horse has been ruin
ed for life by being made to pull hard
when young.
Go down 10 the stable before bed
time and see that everything is all
right with the horses. You may save
a good horse by Just that little thing.
A spirited horse will in the end be
made slow and spiritless by constant
nagging, twitching of the lines, peev-
ish urging and other wearing process
es that fretful drivers practice.
! Match your farm horses. They
should be alike in size and shape, but
by far the most important part is that
| they should possess like characteristic
les of temper and disposition so they
will work in harmony.
DO not sell faithful, worn-out
horse TO a peddler. Five dollars is
usually the most he will give for
such horse, and few men would care
to be kept awake at nights by dis
turbing thoughts of how they came by
the five dollars.

Systematic Marketing the Key to Sue.
