THE STORY OF THE PEANUT
SHELLS.

As everyone knows, c. W. Post, Of
Battle Creek, Michigan, is not only a
maker Of breakfast foods, but he isa
strong individualist, who believes
that the trades-unions are a menace
to the liberty of the country.
Believing this, and being a nat
ural-born" scrapper for the right, as
he sees It, Post, for several years past
has been engaged In a ceaseless war.
fare against 1.-The Labor Trust" as
he likes to call 1t.
Not being able to secure free and
untrammeled expression OF his opin-
ions on this subject through the regu'
lar reading pages of the newspapers
he has bought advertising space for
this purpose, just as he is accustomed
to for the telling Of his Postum
STORY" and he has thus spent hun
dreds OF thousands of dollars In de-
nouncing trades-unionism.
As a result of Posts activities the
people now know whole lot about
these organizations: how they are
honeycombed with graft, how they
obstruct the development Of legid-
mate business, curtail labor's output,
hold up manufacturers, graft upon
their own membership, and rob the
public. Naturally Post is hated by
the trades-unionists, and intensely,
He employs no union labor, so they
can not call out his men, and he de-
fees their efforts at boycotting bis pro-
ducts. The latest means Of getting
Post is the widespread publication oil
the story that a car which was re-
Gently wrecked in transmission was
found TO be loaded with empty pea
nut shells, which we're being shipped
from the South to Posts establish
ment at Battle Creek.
This canard probably originated
with President John Fitzgerald, OF
the Chicago Federation OF Labor,
who, 1t is said, stated it publicly, az
truth.
Post comes back and gives Fitzger-
aid the lie direct. He denounces
Fitzgerald's statement az deliberate
falsehood, and undetermined and
cowardly attempt to injure his BUSH
ness, having not the slightest basis in
fact, AS such an effort 1t must be
regarded. 1t is significant that TINS
statement about "the peanut shells
is being given wide newspaper pub
licity. In the patent inside" OF an
Eastern country paper I find 1t, and
the inference naturally is that labor
unionites are insidiously spreading
this lie.
An institution Cor a mani which
will resort to moral intimidation and
TO physical force, that will destroy
machinery and burn buildings, that
will main and kill II necessary to eff
fects Its ends, naturally would not
hesitate to spread falsehood for the
same purposes.
We admire Post. While we have
no enmity toward labor unions, so
long as they are conducted in an hon
est, ''live-and-let-live" kind of a way,
we have had enough of the tarret
end Of the stick to sympathize thor
oughly with what he is trying to do.
He deserves support. A man like
Post can not be killed, even with lies.
They are boomerang every time.
Again we know, for hasn't this wea-
pom, every weapon that could be
thought of, been used (and not sim
ply by labor unions) to put us out OF
business, too2
l am going to drink t1o cups OF
Postum every morning from this time
on, and put myself ON a diet Of Grape
Nuts. Bully for Post! d Editorial IN

PRACTICAL ADVICE ABOUT
DIVERSIFIED FARMING
Give Horse a Chance to Breathe.

A farmer, blowing with three
horses hitched abreast, noticed tnat
the middle horse became tired and eX-
hausted long before his mates AS
the animal was the equal in every
way Of the other two, he was puzzled
as to the causes of this horses not
being able to stand the same amount
of work. He finally observed, how
ever, that as they drew the ploW
along, the three horses held their
noses close together, with the result
that the middle horse was compelled
to breathe the expired air from Its
fellows. The farmer then produced
a long "jockey" stick, which he
fastened with staps to the bits of the
outside horses. The device worked
perfectly; for, given his iightful
share of good, fresh air, the middle
horse was able to do the same amount
OF work, and with no greater fatigue
than his fellows Many persons are
like the middle horse; they do not
get their rightful share of fresh, pure
air, ard this is why they are not able
TO perform as much work.-Farm
Journal.

The Ideal Home,

A house that doesn't mean more to
a family than barn does to cattle
a mere place to eat and sleeps no
true home. 1t will not have much of
an influence to keep the boys on the
farm. The farmer and his family
deserve homelike homes, and can in
most cases have them. Large size is
not necessary to make home home,
like.

Keep Cotton or the Ground.

Cotton left on the ground or out in
the weather will lose in weight and
quality, and consequently in price.
The cost for covering it under shed
Will be more than met by its improved
condition at selling time. Keep your
cotton in the dry.
The enterprise-recorder. (Madison, Fla.) 1908-1933, 1910-03-31

The most important element that
goes to the making of large crop
yields is the farmers brains. To at
tain uniform success in farming re-
quires broader and more practical
knowledge, more enterprise and
sound judgment than is possessed by
the average merchant or banker.

South For Dairyman.

The secret of success in dairying
lies in two things-cheap feeds and
proper feeding. Grass is the great
aid in this matter and for this reason
the South should lead in daiEying.

PASSED SHIP AFIRE AT SEA
Peary Among Mauretania's
Passengers to View Spectacle.

Passengers on the steamship Mauritania,
of the Cunard Line, that reached this city
from Liverpool yesterday, deserted vaude-
vile for the real at O'Clock last Thursday
night q few minutes before Fire Island was
sighted.
Nat C. Goodwin, the actor, had Just
finished q recitation In the main saloon Of
the vessel and was preparing to repay ap-
plause by another reading when there was
q cry Of Ship af1rei''
The 1A5 passengers, from positions on
the ships decks. saw through a dismal fog
something burning near the water. Captain
Turner thought the fire might be on
passenger steamer, but when the Maure-
tania bore down closer to the spectacle he
found that the foremost Of a schooner had
just fallen Captain Turner stood by until
It was established that there were no boats
in the vicinity and then resumed his course
It was impossible to make out the name Of
the schooner.
She was probably the schooner Norern-

Ne, with coal, which was struck and cut
down TO the waters edge by the steamship
Mills, Of Boston. The latter reached port
last evening, with Captain Olsen and the
crew Of the Norembega, which was set on
fire before being abandoned.
Among those on board the Mauretania

panied by Mrs. Peary, his son and daugh-
ter, and Captain Robert Bartlett He was
equally emphatic concerning his apprecia-
ton OF his reception abroad and his deter

the South Pole.
''I think Captain Scott Will reach the
South Pole,'' said Commander Peary. 1.-THE

his expedition, and I understand it is mag

than some serious mishap, such the loss

have blazed the way to within one hundred
miles of the pole. They know the road
pretty well, and knowing the road is half

Commander Peary said that since his de-
parture, on April g. he had lectured at
London. Berlin, Rome, Vienna, Budapest.
Edinburgh. Glasgow. Manchester, Cardiff.
Bristol. Brussels and Antwerp. He brought
seven medals and trophy and was made

MORE "CHANTECLER" LORE
William Morris Says Rostand Has No
Exclusive Rights to Name.

William Morris, theatrical manager. was
again in the Supreme Court yesterday to
challenge Charles Frohman's exclusive right
TO the use Of the name "Chantecler" the
title of Rostands latest play. The fight
began a few weeks ago, when Morris adj
vertised "Chanticlair' as an American Roof
Garden production. Counsel for Frohman
obtained temporary injunction. and the
matter was patched UP for the time by
Morris changing the name of his travesty
to The Barnyard Romeo"
When the case came up again Yesterday
before Justice Giegerich, former Justice
Leventritt. representing Morris, argued
that there was no law that could give an
author or manager the exclusive right to
the use OF word or name of common use
'Chanticler' was used by Chaucer and
Dryden in the fourteenth century," said
Mr.. Leventritt- "In December, 1865, there
was produced in London a play 'Cock-a-
Doodle-Doo,' or Prince Chanticler' There
was also a play known as 'Chanticler,'
written by American. Walter Sanford
The mere fact that this author has seen fit
to employ cast of all birds and animals
gives him no right to the exclusive use of
Chanticler.' Assuming that he might have
called II Rooster could he have legally re-
strained every other person from advertis-
ing or producing Rooster %

FELL IN FRONT OF TRAIN
Girl Unhurt, Though Two Sub
Way Cars Pass Over Her.

Miss Edith Hardcastle, who lives at the
Hotel Regent, at Broadway and 10th
street, with her parents. fell in front
Of a southbound subway express train
at the I'D street station at noon yesterday.
She had been waiting for train. and as
the first car appeared at the turn to the
north Of the station she was seen to fall to
the tracks. Although the motorman ap-
piled the emergency brakes, the first two
cars of the train passed over the spot
where she had fallen.
The passengers on the island platform
were Mortified at what they were certain
must have been the instant death of Miss
Hardcastle, and when the motorman and
conductor of the train went back along
the track, expecting to find her muttlated
body, they were surprised to find that she
was practically uninjured. Her body had
fallen directly in the middle of the tracks,
and that probably saved her life. Although
almost sll her clothing was torn from her
by a projection below the first car, Miss
Hardcastle was not injured.
Patrolman Hastings, of the traffic squad,
took the young woman to the West 6sth
street station, where she was locked up
on a charge Of attempted suicide. Her
father and brother were told, and went
to the station house with extra clothing
for her. When Miss Hardca site was ar
ratgned in the West Side police court later
Magistrate Harris, after listening to her
father. who said that his daughter had
only recently been I'll and had not attempt
ed suicide, released the girl, and she left
the court with her father and brother.
Edwin Emerson. one Of the Rough Rid
ers- who was a witness Of the accident,
said last night that it was perfectly plain
that the young woman had fallen off the
platform. He said he tried, but failed, to
catch her, and afterward helped her from
the tracks.

ALASkA'S CLIMATES,

The coast region of Alaska, says Pro-
fessor A. s. Hitchcock, has mucn rain and
snow but an equable temperature, and
the winter at Sitka is no colder than at
Washington. The snowfall at Valdez has
reached sixty feet and the rainfall at Sitka
Ill inches IN season. The Yukon basin,
on the contrary. has a continental climate
very cold in the winter. although the sum
mer temperature may reach 90 degrees
Fahrenheit in the shade. The rainfall Is
small. The soil is permanently frozen for
several yards below the surface. but a thin
surface layer thaws out every summer
The tundra region about Nome has a still
different climate, more severe than that of
the interior. There the marShy lands. in
terspersed with ponds and lakes, have few
grasses but on the hills and gravelly knobs
there is a greater variety OF grasses than
in the interiOr.-Youths Companion.
