once in awhile, but he never feels
comfortable until he's taken his
licking for 1t, and started clean
again.
1.-THE way to cure a boy snob is
to send him to good boys school.
There the chap with the money and
the chap with the family have to
play second fiddle to the boy with
the goods'-the boy who's the
fastest runner or the highest jump
er or the captain of the football
team.
Every time an American boy
gives square deal he is giving a
wave to the Star Spangled Banner.
Don't you always Judge parents by
their children2 And If a boy works
hard and behaves himself generally
he's serving his mother country in
the best way he can.
Parents should teach their boys
to shoot straight. Anyone can aim,
but it's the chap who hits that
counts. He's the chap who's made
sheriff in a wild cattle country, OF

SECRET ORGANIZATION OF
LAKE VESSEL PILOTS.

LAkE VESSEL ilLOIS.
The opening of the navigation
season ON the great lakes also in
augurates the third year of the
seamen's strike against the Lake
Carriers association and the
United States Steel corporation.
Hundreds of cities and towns
throughout the middle west have
been placarded with posters adj
vising workingmen to keep away
from the lakes, and the seamen
of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts
are voting thousands of dollars to
their comrades on the lakes to
continue the struggle. The fight
is proving effective. Reports
from the principal lake ports state
that hundreds of men who shipped
last year will decline to board a
vessel this year.
Another fact that will worry
the open shop masters is the Sc
cret organization of pilots that
has been formed during the win
ter. Nobody knows who or how
many men are in the new organi-
cation. The pilots don't know
themselves. However, a secret
circular has been passed from
hand to hand which says that the
pilots protest against being used
as strikebreakers and being forced
to work with incompetent crews.
Important developments are look
ed for.

IMPORTANT REFERENDUM TO
BE HELD IN AUSTRALIA.

Australian labor papers Just to
hand foreshadow a possible split
in the labor L.'.ty, which is in
control of the national govern
ment and two of the six state
governments in that country.
On April 26 the most import
ant referendum ever held will
take place in Australia. 1t was
proposed by the labor administra-
ton and provides for the restric-
tion Of states rights and the
Capitalization of complete power
in the national government with
respect to taxation, control of
trusts, etc.
Both old parties are opposing
the proposition, and Premier Nc
Gowan, the labor prime minister
of New South Wales, is also in re-
volt. To add to the discontinue
of the radical labor party leaders,
who favor the referendum, Pre-
mier Fisher of the national gov
eminent and II other officials
have sailed for England to repre-
sent Australia at the coronation
ceremonies.
This latter act has embittered
the rank and file of the labor par
ty, and a national convention of

has just been held in Sydney, at
which Fisher was severely de-
nounced and the junket to Eng

That held out hope. but where
could this man clothe and feed
and educate and provide for the
other needs of a family large as
his, and used from birth to city

Going over the family bank
book, this $3,000-a-year lawyer
added up to few dollars over
$4,000, most of which had been
inherited and put away for the
"rainy day."
But this rainy day threatened
to be too long to be covered by
what represented but a little more
than three years salary. There
were the many years of the babies
to be provided for.

is that there are more officers

Lopez Is himself Mexican, but

private tutors and In girls schools.
Their education has cost the farm
over $4,000.
In 1909 the farm handed over
a profit of more than $4,000 to the
family; from the garden alone the
family supplied everything need
ed on the table, exchanging green
stuffs at the store for sugar, cof-

Resolutely turning their backs
upon their nice, comfortable city
home, and city friends, the fam
lily bundled themselves into a
train and emigrated.
In the beautiful AMI fertile
Shenandoah valley, with railway
connection of New York and the
cities of the Ohio valley. the city
lawyer became farmer: ex-
changed his Blackstone for a
book on how to raise corn. He
bought a rundown farm of 800
acres, to which in after years he
added 80 more acres. The old
house, which had been built about
100 years ago, was still substan-
tial; it is now the kitchen of the
modern house, which, by the way,
is as modern" as the city man
has. The barns and fences were
out of repair. The year before. the
gross income of the entire farm
was less than 500.
The newly Pledged farmer knew
little, very little, about farming;
scientific agriculture and irten-
sive farming were So many words
to him. And even now. the story
of his farming would be of little
interest to the student of scientific
farming; but to the city man,
yearning for a try at the back-to-
the-soil venture and yet afraid to
attempt it with his lack of farm
knowledge, it is story of great
interest.

A more convenient and enjoyable form
Of fasting would be to subsist for one
