The great scarcity of tobacco
plants together with the bad wealth
er conditions will prove very disas-
trous to the tobacco crop of 1910
in West Virginia. Last year there
was grown approximately twenty
million pounds of tobacco in West
Virginia and the growers had such
a profitable season that additional
acreage was allotted for the To-
bacco crop this season. 1t was
anticipated that the crop this year
would be an increase OF one third
over that OF last year, but conds-
lions have been such that the
growers have been unable TO get
plants and those that have been
fortunate enough 20 secure some

ment that this years crop win moi

The common school must increase

common" in the sense of being
ordinary; more common in its adapt

people whose children it exists to
educate; it must become more useful
every year. 1t belongs to the
people, and is the one universal
agency by which they prepare their
children for the duties and privileges
of life. 1t must serve the public
more effectively in the old ways that
have been tried and found to be
permanently useful; it must serve
the public in icy ways that will
make all people more conscious of
the largeness of its mission of Service
and of the sacredness of its duty to
the children. 1t ought to become
the center of the intellectual life of
the people. In the towns and cities
it ought to put the children and
young people into helpful relations
with the best of life of the country ;
everywhere, it ought to encourage a

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10, 1910.

WASHINGTON, Dec. y, l9lo.
To Organized Labor and Friends,
Greetings:
At the Thirtieth Annual Conven-
Ton of the American Federation of
Labor, held at St. Louis, Nov. IA
e6, 1910, the subject-matter Of the
situation in Los Angeles, Cal, came
up and received the most serious con-
sideration. 1t was clearly demon
strated that there exists in Los An
geles a deep-laid and sinister plan in
;augurated and being carried out by
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association Of that city, the associa-
ton acting as a subsidiary agent Of
the National Association of Manu-
facturers, and that the plan has for
its purpose a war of determination of
the organized labor movement of the
Pacific Coast and the crushing out of
the American spirit of manliness and
independence.
1t is not necessary to recount the
struggle of years against the print
crs union of Los Angeles for it is
well and generally known. Last May
the employers provoked a contest
with the brewery workers. A month
later, in June, the contest was made
upon the machinistS, molders, boiler
makers, patternmakers and all 9TH
ers in the metal trades, rs well as
upon the leather workers. Union
men of Los Angeles were forced to
take up the cudgel, not only in de-
tense of themselves, but of the work.
ers who were not members of organ
lied labor. 1t was a struggle to Sc
cure a living wage and humane con-
ditions.
The international unions of the
trades aided their members in Los
Angeles to the best of their ability.
The trade unionists of California as
sisted to the fullest Of their oppor-
tunities. The toilers of Los Angeles
have made, and are making, one Of
the most gallant and heroic strug-
giles on rerord. The National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers, through its
subsidiary, the Merchants and Manu-
f~acturers' Association of Los Angel
es, controlled the officers of the city
government who acted as puppets
and passed ordinances denying the
men the right of ~peaceably walking
the streets or talking with workers
whom they may meet. Hundreds of
union men have been arrested and
prosecuted and through a system of
refined torture of the Third De-
gree the endeavor has been made
to fasten crimes upon ~peaceable and
law-abiding workers who have been
thrust in prison, as well as threaten
ed with violent demonstrations of
lynching.

An Amusing Adventure In the Surf on
the West Coast of Africa
Told by a Traveller.

West Africa is known to all naviga-
tors for it's few harbOrs and its heavy
surf, which at certain seasons RACES
Ike a battle, defying the white man
who would approach its shores. The
author Of The Jungle Folk Of Africa" I"
Mr.. r. Fl. Milligan. tells OF a success
ful, and to the observers an amusing,
effort to reach shore at a point where
the surf did not seem TO be impossible.
One day when the beach seemed
much better than usual the captain
and the ships surgeon ventured ashore.
The captain afterward narrated the
adventure Of their landing to a small
but enthusiastic audience He said
that after waiting outside the surf half
an hour the headman suddenly gave
the order, and in a moment they were
IN the breakers, riding on the top Of
one Of them and speeding toward the
shore at the rate Of seventy miles an
hour"
The captain was in the bow Of the
boat, well braced and cushioned. But
when the boat struck the beach with
the force Of q railway collision the
doctor was thrown violently over two
thwarts into the captains bosom,
whom he clasped about the neck with
a steel-like grip.
The next moment another breaker
picked the boat up and hurled it upon
the beach, throwing both captain and
doctor to a perfectly safe distance,
where they sprawled upon the sand.
The doctor. still hugging the captains
neck and very much frightened, ex-
claimed:
"Oh. captain, dear captain, is there
anybody killed but you and me?

BRAVE SOLDIERS.
Sacrificed Their Lives In an Attempt

Sacrificed Their Lives In an Attempt
to Save the CoIors.
In days gone by the Zulus were
the bOldest fighters among all the na-
tives Of South Africa, and it was not
until they had been defeated in sew
eral battles that they would live in
peace with white people.
In 1873 5000 Of the Zulus attacked
and killed a regiment Of British SOL
diers. and a most heroic deed was the
attempt made by three British sol
diers to save the two flags, or colors,
belonging to the regiment.
When 1t was seen that the Zulus
were so many that there was no hope
Of keeping them at bay the colonel OF
the British regiment called to young
officer whose name was Lieutenant
Melvin and said, "You will take
charge Of the colors, Melvill. and try
to get away from here"
The lieutenant saluted and took into
his hands the two cOlors of his regi-
ment Then, with another officer and
Il soldier, all mounted on horses, he
suddenly dashed away with his pre-
ciOus burden
They were at once seen by the keen
sighted Zulus, however, and after a
long chase the three gallant English
men, fighting to the last. were killed
by the enemy.
Some time afterward one Of the flags
was found near a rocky stream, where
the heroes had fought and died, and
1t was taken to England and presented
to Queen Victoria.
And in memory Of the three brave
soldiers who had died while defending
