How TO restore and maintain the
productivity of the SOIL" Professor
Spillman said, SIS the most important
phase OF the conservation problem.
We have deluded ourselves with the
idea tina, we have unbounded resources
in land, in forest. In mineral wealth.
We have been prodigal in the utiliza-
ton OF these resources. We must
now pay the penalty of Us prodi-
gality. In many OF our older COM
rnunit!es, soil fertility has been re-
duced below the point Of profitable
production. Nationwide effort at the
present time, through Federal and
State agency. IS directed toward a
restoration Of fertility in these locali-
ties. On the prairies of the West fer.
tility is beginning to wane. In order
that our heritage in the prairie coun-
try may not follow the descent of the
South and East, 1t is necessary that
intelligent and vigorous effort be made

through the united action of the mine
workers themselves.
The first and principal great need OF
our union Is the organization Of the non
union mine workers Of this country. So
long as the great army Of nonunlon men
remain outside the organization, they con-
tlnue to be menace and stand in the
way of progress and advancement OF the
organized mine workers. On account of
the industrial depression, 1t has been very
difficult and impossible in most places,
during the last year. to induce men to
join the union. But as there are hopes
and prospects of revival along the in
dustrlal line, earnest consideration should
be given the question OF organization dur
ing the coming year
THE dissension in the official realm OF
our union should be given consideration AT
your hands. Unless the electioneering
tactics which have disgraced our organlza-
tion during the last two years are pre-
vented there is but one result-the destruc-
ton of the power and effectiveness Of oui
union There are great possibilities within
our grasp, but they can only be secured
through singleness Of purpose and unity OF

it as matter of course, but on one oc-

flection. After it was all over he stood
before his father in a thoughtful way,
which attracted that worthy's atten-
ton.

Father" said the son, "when you

lies?

boy l did not tell lies"

mother was a little girl, did she use
to tell lies?"

she did not tell lies. But why do you
ask me these questions"

Not long ago an Englishman came into

and asked man behind the counter
to show him some plaid ties" The
attendant, perhaps wondering what
this new and weird article of wear
ing apparel could be, was completely
baffied until explanation ELECTED the
fact that q necktie with tartan de-
sign was required. Dickens, too, is a
sinner in this respect, for he makes
Bob Sawyer say with regard to wheth-
er his political proclivities are buff"
or "blue"-"I'm kind of plaid at
present. a compound Of all sorts Of
colors." Moreover, an English die
tionary gives an adjectlval meaning
of ''plaid' as "colored in squares"
