WEEDS. WEEDS, WEEDS

Whatever may have been said re
garding the weaker sex of humanity
We will all have to admit that when
it comes to staying by a disagreeable
task till it is completed, the women
have yet to take second place to the
men. This point occurs to us in con-
nection with the efforts that are be-
ing put forth by the women's organi-
cations of the city to eradicate and
keep in check the weeds that are to
be seen growing and blowing every
where. Every grower of crops, how
ever careful he may be with his own,
knows that much of his time is spent
in getting rid of weeds the seeds of
which are carried from neigh boring
property; hence the object of the law
governing the destruction of them
But as is well known, good and prop
err laws without sufficient public SEN
timent to apply and enforce the same,
are of little value.
The work which the ladies are
pushing for the general cleaning up
of weeds before and on the 18th,
should meet with the hearty Coop
Grafton of every person, and we each
should carefully look around the
premises which We occupy Gown or
renD. and make ourselves a commit
tee Of one to carry out the spirit and
letter of the law. for it is only by the
united effort of all followed up
throughout the year that this work
can be successfully done. With the
weeds kept in check, the orchards
and fields of this valley with Teplitz
roses everywhere, will present a view
to our home people and those who are
contemplating homes here, that will
be as good advertising as we can
further. So all lend a hand, this
week and every week.

THE QUESTION OF THE LIVING
WAGE

An investigation of the Lawrence
strike conditions is throwing a flooc
of light over the industrial situation
in one of the greatest centers of
the nation. The problem raised is
that of a living wage under prevail
ing conditions. The testimony o
workers before the house committee
showing the earnings of families EN-
ployed in the mills shows that the
combined wages of the father, mother
and two or more children We're
scarcely enough to provide substantial
food to sustain them in their daily
toll, that their clothing was of the
cheapest and the real comforts of life
unknown.
Their demand of raise of fifteen
per cent in wages is based on the plea
that they want wages that will ena-
BILE them to do more than to merely
exist, and the business of their de
mand has been practically conceded
by the offer Of the mills TO compro-
mise and give them raise in wages
ranging from the minimum of five
per cent to the fifteen asked, but they
stand for the fifteen as the minimum
which they will recognize as a square
deal for the time and energy they ex
pend in their incessant toll
Now the matter is fairly opened in
the way of a congressional investiga
ton, it is certain that not only the
cotton industry, but steel and Leather
and other allied manufacturer con-
ditious will be reviewed and the
searchlight OF publicity turned on the
interests that are demanding and pc
tttionlng congress to malntain duties
on the schedules Of their Industries
because Of the fact that they are fore
ed 10 maintain higher wage scale
