SCHOOL NOTES.
Christmas greetings to all.

DAiiASAiiiNeE ,iNNNAi' - W e'i''
Resolved that Christmas has
been nice rest as well as a
pleasant vacation, and that we
as students and teacher have
received such an inspiration and
enthusiasm from old Santa, and
The good things he brought as,
that we should and will dc
better work and try to learn
more in the new year to come
than in the past.
This is a good resolution. let's
all try it. Nothing will succeed
like merited success.
The Arch on Xmas eve was
beautiful, and very symbolic Of
a successful life laden with the
fruits and good works of a use
full and well spent purpose
Those who rendered the pro-
gram have the thanks, and APP
probation of all who were pre-
sent

CHRISTMAS At PRICE SCHOOL HOUSE

1t is natural to suppose that by
this time Santa Claus has visited
every home throughout this
broad land and that children's an
ticipatinns have been, IN a measure,
satisfied.
AS New Mexico is now about to
become one of the United States
it is natural that her youthful life
should not be diverted of its sacred
teachings. In answer to this de-
mand Santa Claus confined his
operations not only to the larger
towns favored with superior rail
road facilities but was mindful of
the needs of our little district as
we'll.
The entertainment which was
had on Christmas eve. went to
prove what could be accomplished
even by home talent when the
proper effort is put forth. Each
one rehearsed their part to the
entire satisfaction of all present.
Between acts and recitations,
the audience was favored by Sc
lections on the photograph.
In the big fourteen dialogue,
various reasons were given why
each one had failed to seize the
opportunities and advantages of
married life.
One of our Star" actors with
false face showed us how easy it
was to act the SILLY Boy" a
characteristic we all we'll know,
But the climax of the entertain
ment came when the coal-black
faces and the cream colored ccons
put in their appearance. The eff
ficiency with which the negro
dialogues were rehearsed was a
marked portrayal of darky life and
nature and ability of the actors to
initiate them.
The negro sermon preached by
brother Rastus johnson showed
forth what we may expect in the
end if we continuity spurn the laws
and teachings of ''Holy Writ" :"
He showed us how and why the
negro was much better than the
white now and went futher by say
ing that no respectable negro
would degrade himself by keeping
company with them. He told us
in thunder tones of the fate that
come to those coons who, at night,
visited the white folks chicken
roost and surrptitiously approp-
riate a frying cock therefrom.

that she must make that her life oc-
cupation, whereas in most men s cases,
the position is simply stepping stone
to something better.
The woman in her home crowded in
by the four walls of her kitchen; the
workingman, whose daily path is from
his home to the shop and from the shop
to his home, cannot fail to show the in
fluence of this restriction. The rec
reations which must come to them es-
pecially in the case of the men, appeal
merely to the physical side of their ma
ture. 1t is the overworked toiler who
patronizes the saloon-the man who
work. the longest hours in the day
and not the highly skilled working
man who has the opportunity for self
expression on account of his higher
wages.
The limitations of poverty, then, are
the terrible pressure due to low stan
dard of wages and hence low stan
dard of living, and the lack of the
power to appreciate the best things
in life because the higher instincts
have been Systematically ground out
through long years of deadening toll.

hour. In 1904 the eight hour day was
35 cents an hour.
In 19O7OS the local fell upon evil
times, and through Indifference and in
ternal dissentions the membership fell
to about forty five. But the beginning
of 1910 saw splendid revival. The
interest suddenly fared up, and to date
it has not abated. From forty We
members on January 1, the local grew
upwards of 300. This revival took
place under President Beck, and to
him is large measure of the credit
due. At the June election the follow
ing officials were chosen
President, w. w. Funke; financial
secretary, E. S. Acott; recording sec
rotary, A. E. Hawkins, treasurer, John
PIN; business agent, Fred Eissler.

the mind. so that when the child ar
rives at the years when it should be
giving expression to it's best self, it is
simply impossible for it to appreciate
the best values of life. The pathetic
thing about the whole situation is
that there comes no realization of that
which is missing. Life has lost its
largest and fullest meaning; it is linn
tied to the routine of getting living.
Many a factory or shop girl, after a
hard days work, is compelled to spend
toll in the home, because of the pow
erty of her parents or because of her
own limited means. To such there
can be little or no development of those
qualities which make for the highest
tvpe of womanhood. The harshness
of their daily toll brushes out many of
the softer and gentler qualities. The
tragedy of such an existence lies in
the fact that the woman is deprived
of the greatest happiness of woman s
life and at the same time is unable to
enter into her daily occupation with
mans enthusiasm and vigor. 1t is
commonly said by business men that
it is better to employ woman fol-
certain tasks, because it is well-known

Soon Discovered What Organization
Would Do to Help Them.

If the unOrganized workers of any
craft in this section of the moral vine
yard want a concrete example of the
benefits Of unionism-an example right
here at home-let them confer with
the Blacksmiths and Blacksmiths
Helpers at Havelock. After working
without an organization for many
months the blacksmiths in the Have
lock shops determined to organize. A
little handful Of them got together and
sent for an organizer, and in short
time local with twenty-one members
was chartered. These twenty one men
were union missionaries from the start,
and in a few months, the union was
100 per cent strong. Immediately the
local selected shop committee and
this committee set about threshing joys
out of sorrows. The wage of the helper
has been increased from 171@ cents to
23 and 25 cents, and of the black
smiths from 81 to 80 cents In addi-
ton to this wage increase bettered
conditions have been secured.
Early in the union game the black
smiths and helpers resolved to have
good attendance at every union
meeting, and to date this resolution
has been faithfully kept. The mem
bership has made good in all depart
ments, and each one knows where his
interests and the interests of his fell
low workers lie-with the Central La
Dor Union and the State Federation
of Labor. Also at the ballot box.
The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1910-09-02

When the worker is compelled to
struggle for the barest necessities,
there is very little opportunity for
the development of the finer instincts
which lead, for instance, to the appre-
citation of art and of the beautiful
things in nature. This shuts out a
world of pleasure which nothing else
can replace. His struggle for self
possession prohibits the development
of culture. He is too close akin to
the beast to have any regard for the
higher and finer things. All this is
4 said with a full appreciation of the
Aength of character which is develop
ed even in the midst of poverty. But
how can a love of the beautiful be nur-
tured in the soil of filth and want!
The real curse of child labor is not
in the fact that the children are com
PEELED to work; even a child of eight
may perform certain routine of
duties on the farm. in the home or. for
limited time, in the factory, without
serious injury. 1t is the continuous
toll for long hours, under unsanltary
conditions, with improper or INSULT
cient food, that stunts the body and

bers. Among them was NJ. Cannon,
who carried card for twentyseven
years, was never back on his dues and
one of the inspiring members of the
organization. J. F. Turner, another
faithful member, was called to his long
home recently
Local No. 1855 has had much to con-
tend with during the past two years.
The Indifference of business men to
local workers, the competition of I'M
fair men brought in from the outside
by Lincoln men who talked louder
about "home Industry than almost
anything else, and the opposition Of
a few contractors who lost no oppor-
tunity to discriminate against union
men. But despite all these things the
organization grew in numbers and in
strength, and today seems on the high
road to success.

he handled the funds of the new union
to the entire satisfaction of all Fol

On April 2 of the present year o
strike was called to enforce the grant
ing OF contracts and for time y
number of the members were locked
out. But the spirit of "stick'' was
strong. and slowly but surely the union
began to win out. Several shops
signed up readily, but three or four
of the big ones refused to come across.
In time however, practically every
member of the local was back at work
under closed shop conditions, and in
a short time the local was in better
shape than ever before in it's history,
which is saying much
