TO BREAK PRICES.
CLEVELAND FACTORY employees WILL
REFRAIN FROM EATING MEAT.


Clevelal 4, o., Jan. l7.-Four
hundred and sixty Cleveland factory
employees today signed pledge to
refrain from eating meat for one
month, and if necessary to break the
high prices of meats, to abstain from
animal food for sixty days. The
idea of living a vegetation life for
thirty davs originated in the minds
of a few members of the Superin-
tendents' and Foremen's Clubs, in
which almost every factory in Cleye-
land is represented.

SEASON WILL LAST OVER SIX MONTHS.

According to the first draft of the
National league schedule, which has
been completed by Charles Ebbets, of
Brooklyn, the demon schedule maker,
the championship season will begin
on Thursday, April II, and close on
Sunday, October l6. This will give
an extent of playing season just two
days longer than six months, which
means that the athletes will draw
two days extra pay. The schedule,
as whole is satisfactory, but of
course, there may be some corrections
and changes in order to avoid con-
flicts with the American league
teams.
The large number of l6S games
are provided for and there seems to
be now little doubt that the league is
committed to the policy of running
right up until frost time. The ad-
dition of Il games to the schedule
will not mean any more travelling for
the clubs, as no additional trips will
have to be taken. Heretofore II
games have been played by each club
on the grounds of each other in the
league, making grand total of ee
games with each club. On two Of
the three trips to each city a club
would play four games, and on the
third trip only three would be play
ed. Under the heightened arrange
ment four games will be played on
each one of the three trips, making
Is games for each club in every
other city, and ef games in all with
each of the other teams.
As the western clubs, with the ex-
ceptiOn of the Pirates, play Sunday
ball when at home, the lengthening
of the schedule will not force them
to play many extra double-headers,
for the playing season has been ex-
tended nearly two weeks. In the
east, however, where the teams are
forced to be idle on Sunday, a num-
Der of double bills viii have to be
scheduled in order to clear up the
I6S games. The Reds viii have nc
scheduled double-headers at home

LOCUSTSDUE THIS YEAR
EARLY SPRING WILL SEE ADVANCE
nth YEAR BUGS.

Seventeen year locusts are due in
West Virginia this year and brood
No. will make its appearance in
the early spring, while brood No. 2
will arrive in the spring of 1911.
Getting rid of these pests is subject
now being dealt with by state ento-
mologists and in their biennial re-
port, much prominence is given this
class of yermin. The locusts injure
plants by puncturing their twigs and
depositing their eggs. 1t is said by
persons who have made study of
this subject that if plants are given
good coating of some material OBJ
jectionable to the locusts, the injury
will be either entirely eliminated or
diminished considerably, and thus
making the plants distasteful to the
locusts. Plants that are injured may
be treated, however, and the vermin
extinguished.
Special attention is called by the
entomologists to the injury wrought
during the past two years to orchards
and nurseries by various kinds of
pests and warnings are being sent
out, recommending that all owners
of plants, trees, etc., take extra pre-
cautions early against this injurious
insect. The seventeen year locusts
have been absent from our midst for
many years and its return has been
looked forward to with dread as it
generally means poor crops due to
their harmful influence on all classes
of growing fruits, grain, plants, etc.
Within short time the locusts will
come from the south and deposit
their eggs to be hatched out in early
spring and even now, it is stated.
that to give all trees and plants I
good coating of some material dis
tasteful to the locusts, would prove a
benefit.
1t is said that many injurious in
sects and vermin are imported into
the United States with nursery
stock, and special care should be Ia
ken that all such imported plants be
inspected and treated, especially for
gypsy and browntail moths, two of
the most hurtful insects that have
ever been imported here from Euro
pean countries. Many other insects
and diseases are brought here in this
manner and the time of the visit of
the seventeen wear locusts, IS said to
always bring with it an abundance of
other vermin which proves disastrous
to anything growing.-wheeling

THE SOLDIERS PUSHED
AND THUS GOT SANTA E TRAIN TO
SCENE OF FIGHT.

United States soldiers once push
ed a Santa Fe train over the hills in
New Mexico to get to an Indian
fight. Avery Turner, who now rides
in private car over the Santa Fe
lines, was the conductor of the train.
1t was away back in the early
SOS, just after the Santa Fe had
built into New Mexico, and grizzled
old General Forsyth was in COM
mand of the troops in northern New
Mexico. The Santa Fe in those days
was not the wealthy corporation that
it is now and it did not have the
powerful locomotives that draw its
trains over>the steepest grades with
out difficulty. 1t had only few
wheezy little old locomotives out on
its frontier lines and sometimes they
pulled and sometimes they didn't.
General Forsyth got a dispatch
that the Indians were making trouble
up in southern Colorado, and he
wanted to move his troops at once to
the scene. Avery Turner was train
master at the time and he told the
General with the motive power at
his command it would be impossible
to move the number of men desired.
In language more picturesque than
polite the General ordered the train
to be made up.
"Your road has contract to trans
port soldiers, and by the gods you
will transport US or l will know
why was his final remark.
"That meant get busy, > said Mr..
Turner, and l did the best could.
hitched the little locomotive at my
command to the troop TRAIN and we
started.
''The first big hill we encountered
the very thing l knew would happen
occurred to US. We stalled.
Il asked the General if he would
place $50 men at my command. He
replied that he would place the
whole bunch at my command If
would get him to the scene of the
fight instead of stopping on the
mountainside to rest.
when the men were ordered out
! ordered them to get on either side
of the train and push. Well, you
ought to have seen the expressions
on the faces of those soldiers. They
saw | meant what l said. however,
and they pushed-and the train went
up the hill.
They all got on again and things
went well till We came to another
hill. l repeated my request to the
General and got some more real SOL
dier language for my trouble, but
got the men, and over We went again.
Next time we slowed down the
entire command turned out and the
engineer actually had to put on the
breaks to keep the train from getting
hot boxes in making the ascent. We
had no more trouble. The soldiers
were ready every time we got to a
hill and we reached the scene of de-
barkation ahead of time.
"Old General Forsyth smiled as
he said farewell and said if we need
ed any more United States assistance
in the operation of the Santa Fe to
call on him, but we didn't need it.
Headquarters soon sent out some bet
ter locomotives, and after that we
transported soldiers over any hills in
New Mexico and they rode all the
way.''

minister who with his mother was at

but many of his best friends now
admit that h" has disappointed them.

TUESDAYS ELECTIONS,
Hadley's Machine Carries Kansas

cratic-Joplin, sedalia and Spring
field Flop Over to Democrats.

The Kansas City election Tuesday
resulted in Il Republican victory,
the Republican candidate for Mayor
being elected by something over
2,ooo, and most of the other city Of.
ficers elected were Of the same DO
litical brand. The result was not n
surprise, for the Democrats knew
they were up against a tough propo-
sition. For months Governor Had
ley has been perfecting n formidable
political machine out of the Police
Department, the city has negro
vote Of 1000 or 5000, and the police
force was made To swarm with ne
gro policemen, even the white dis
tricts being invaded by these latter.
A visitor To Kansas City was sure
to run up against two or three negro
police at the Union railroad station.
One might think that this would dis
gust even decent Republicans, but
city politics is wonderfully and fear
fully made up. Besides the compact
machine, Mayor Crittenden's adj
ministration had taken tie unpopu-
lar side on some street railroad fran
chisr measure, and this is thought
to have initiated against the Demo-
cratic ticket.
But-'Twas Different Elsewhere.

portions, was carried by >, 900 Demo-
