BUILDING IS
INADEQUATE
PRESENT TEMPLE WILL NOT
HOLD THE CROWDS THAT
SWARM TO LABEL LEAGUE
ENTERTAINMENTS - PAY
EXPENSES AND LEAVE A
NEAT BALANCE.

We're having lovely time but we
do wish the unions would hurry up and
build new Labor Temple"
That was the remark that was heard
most frequently at the Label League
dance and social Monday evening. There
is no denying the fact that the present
quarters are far too small and it should
set our people all to thinking and think
ing hard.
The cramped quarters was the only
fault to be found with the evenings en-
tertainment. The crowd was admirably
handled and not an unpleasant incident
occurred to mar the evenings pleasure
Downstairs a crowd of dancers thronged
the floor to the excellent music fur
nished by Wagner and Moline, while on
the second floor several tables were sur
rounded by card players. At IL o'clock
dainty luncheon was served.
The dance hall was profusely decorat-
ed. Strings of red hearts hung in fes-
toons from walls and ceiling, while the
lights were shaded with the same bril-
liant color
Each lady and gentleman upon enter
ing the hall was met by young lady
who fastened a small red heart upon
them. We said "small." We take it
back. Old bachelors were presented
with paper heart about as large as a
tin pan that loomed out like tin star
ON a country constable. There weren't
any old maids. Didn't expect any, any
how.
/ After paying all expenses neat bal
ance was left for the league treasury.
The ladies fear that this will be the
last semi-public entertainment they will
try to give in the present temple. They
simply cannot adequately provide fol
the crowd that wants to attend these
delightful events. They say that in the
future the social evenings will have tc
be limited to League members and when
it is desired to hold public dance ol
social it will be necessary to secure 3
larger hall.

LABOR TEMPLE FOR SPO-
KANE.

Spokane unionists hope to raise 500,
600 within the coming year for the pur-
chase of a building site and the erection
of commodious, modern Labor Temple.
The railway organizations of the city
have promised to cooperate and expect
to raise at least $4,000. Ten thousand
shares of stock will be offered for sale
at par value of ten dollars. A strenu-
ous campaign will be carried on among
the unions of the city to raise the de
sired amount Knowing Spokane's ca
pacity for doing things it is easy to pre-
diet that the city will have a building
that will be a credit to the city ere many
months roll around.

NEW GAME FOR HALLOWEEN
Pastime as Described Warranted 70
Furnish All Mysterious Mlsgiv-
lncs, Thrills and Shivers.

In connection with the usual Hal.
loween charms and incantations the
following game-waranted to reek
with all the mysterious misgivings.
thrills and shivers appropriate to the
occasion-is recommended as very
jolly and entirely suited to "witching
night. 1t is of French extraction. Is
called Sous Table," and is played as
follows
AS the players sit close together
round the table with their hands well
under the overhanging folds OF the
tablecloth the game would better be
played at or after the refreshment
stage Of the proceedings. It consists
of passing from hand to hand, and
quite without looking at them, all sorts
of articles prepared to be particularly
grewsome to the touch, and he or she
who shrieks, laughs or drops an arti-
Gle is liable to forfeit.
The articles, concealed by a nap
kin, are held on the lap Of the hostess
as she sits at the head Of the table
and she passes one by one of them
always under the folds Of tho table
cloth-from her right hand to her
neighbours left; he does likewise and
so on round the table. When tie arti-
Gle comes back to the hostess she
drops it under the table and takes up
the next one from her lap and SO on
till the supply of articles is exhausted.
With a choice lot of carefully pre-
pared horrors this game may be work
ed up into a real Halloween hit
A limp bean bag, lucky rabbit
foot, a fluff of cotton wool, baby's
angora mitten loosely stuffed with cot
ton batting, the working end OF a
superannuated feather buster, bit OF
fur, an old bead purse, a scrap OF
chamois skin are among the things
which-perfectly innocent In them
selves and entirely unawesome when
seen-cause us to shrink and sh1ver
when we touch them without knowing
what they are. The trump card at
this game-and one sure to bring In
many fines in the forfeits-when late
ly played at our house was woman's
kid glove firmly stuffed, with all the
fingers spread, with damp sea sand
and kept in the icebox until needed
for the game.

CHICKEN EATS LIVE SNAKE

Grown chickens and young pullets
have been known to eat almost any
thing that crossed their path, when
hungry, but it was supposed that
snakes were not included in their
dainties, until a few days ago when
a pullet at Clay City, Ind, topped of
a hearty breakfast by swallowing a
long garter snake while it was alive.
The snake appeared in the chicken
yard while the fowls were being fed.
Several chickens pecked the snake
and it started back to the bushes
when the pullet left its meal of corn
and chased it. The reptile attempted
to fight the pullet but the pullet soon
put stop to the fight by swallowing
the snake.

shakInu Hands.

Did you ever ask yourself why you
shake hands with persons whom you
know? Here is the reason:
In the old days, when every man
who had any pretensions to being a
gentleman carried sword, it was Gus
tomary for men when they met to
show that they had no intention of
treachery to offer each other their
weapon hands, that is, the hand that
would be used to draw the sword, and
to withhold the hand was usually the
signal for fight.
So fixed did this habit become that
long after men ceased to wear swords
they still offered the weapon hand to
a friend and declined to offer it to an
enemy. 70 this day when you refuse
to shake hands with a person it sig
nifies that you are at war. Among
savages, who never carried swords,
the practice of shaking hands is I'M
known, and it affords them amuse
ment to see the white men do it.

RECIPE FRAUD IN THE SOUTH
Individual Making Money by Selling
Farmers Formula ObtainabIe at
Experiment Stations.
(By B. e. Lara.0

A shrewd fellow who lives In the
south where a great deal of COM
mercial fertilizer is used is advertis-
ing recipe for fertilizer. He charges
So for 1t, and the recipe simply tells
them what ingredients to use and how
to mix it. He claims to have a patent
on the recipe, but this is denied by
the patent Office. The fact is any
state experiment station will give to
a farmer of the state any number of
recipes and tell him how to mix them
If he cares to make his own fertilizer.
This looks great deal like fraud
to me. Any recipe that this man sells
can certainly be of no value to farm
ers, because any man can mix a COM
mercial fertilizer and does not have
to ask anybody's permission to do it.
/ have no doubt that this man has
made great deal of money through
his scheme because it seems that there
are always plenty of people ready to
bite at any bait held out to them no
matter how much of fraud II may be.

HOMINY IS EXCELLENT FEED
Than CornmeaI-Results of
Trials at Indiana Station.

The high price of corn in recent
years has caused many farmers in
the vicinity of hominy mills to resort
to the use of hominy feed for fatten-
ing hogs Such large number of
inquiries have been received by the
experiment stations in regard to the
comparative value of hominy feed and
corn for hogs that series Of trials
was planned In order to secure reli-
able data on the subject.
The result of these trials in Indi-
ana are as follows:
1. Hominy feed must be considered
as a substitute for and not supple
ment to corn.
2 Hominy feed, like corn, should
be supplemented by some feed high
in protein content such as tankage,
Mnseed oilmeal. shorts, milk, etc., in
order to secure the most rapid and
most economical gains.
8. Hominy feed produces more rap
Id gains on hogs than does cornmeal.
4. Hominy feed produces gains on
less grain than does cornmeal
s. AS a general rule, the high cost
of hominy feed hinders its more gen.
eral use as hog feed and prevents
its economical substitution for corn,
except when the latter is very high In
price.

these, gets the worst of the battle.

MARvELs OF LONDON LIFE

The immensely of the worlds great
est city is strikingly illustrated by the
facts and figures published recently in
report on London life issued by the
London council. 1t is estimated, for
instance, that 21,4O0,000 is paid every
week in rent, and G420,000 in rates,
while for the privileges of keeping
about 100000 dogs Londoners pay
G61 1000 year in carriage and motor
licenses, while altogether no less
than $1,000, 100000 worth of property
belonging to Londoners is insured.
1t is remarkable that while so years
ago only half the people living in
London were born in the capital, to-
day we are approaching the time
when three-quarters of the population
of London are natives, the figures be-
ing 668 per 1000. Most people are
under the impression as they notice
the new streets of houses springing
up in all directions in the metropolis,
that London is growing bigger every
day, but, as a matter of fact, last year
i95,000,000 less was spent on house
building than in 1902.
There are 1850 weddings in London
every week. while the weekly average
number of inquests is 100. No fewer
than $4,000 drunkards are convicted in
IL months, while postmen deliver
every day 100000 letters, postcards,
circulars and newspapers.

SPENT 50 YEARS IN TRANCE

There have been several cases of
long sleep quite apart from the cele-
brated sons of Ephesus and Rip Van
Wrinkle. One Of the most remarkable
was the long sleep of a German gov
eminent official named Arnheimt who
had an accident in which his head
was injured in 1904, and falling asleep
was still unconscious four years after
ward and may be sleeping still.
But the most interesting example
was that of a woman, Caroline OILS
son, living in the little island of Okuo,
off the coast of Sweden, who fell
asleep in 1875 and did not wske up
till 1907. Dr. Froderstrom CT the
Salpetriere asylum in Paris has made
a detailed examination of her expert
ence and now publishes the result of
his inquiries in the asylum journal.
1t seems that "the sleeper of Okuo"
was born in 1861. The first fourteen
years of her life was passed tn per
feet health, although extraneous diff
ficulties prevented her from attending
school 1t was not till just before her
fourteenth birthday that she received
any schooling. At the following
Christmas she fell i'll.
On the all-eventful day she came
home from the school, which was
three miles off, and complained of
toothache and indisposition and was
put to bed. A very few hours later
she fell into a trance, uttered no
word, seemed to hear nothing and
showed no trace of feeling anything
when needles and such like things
were run into her arms. For thirty
years and more, according to her
mothers evidence, Caroline remained
In this condition without sign of
change. Only once in reply to the
despairing cry of her mother for a

grasses, clover and manure holds the
soil-grains together. This prevents
drifting, just as the bunch of shingles
will not blow, but when the band Is
cut the wind carries the shingles away
one by one.
z. Crop Rotation With Live Stock
the Most Profitable.
In feeding crops to stock the pro-
duct secured is worth from twice to
several times as much as the crop.
The capital, work and expense needed
In feeding the crop Is not as great as
that required In producing it. From
this 1t is plain that the most profitable
part Of farming is stock-raising.
8. Crop Rotation Distributes Work.
In grain-growing the work punches.
This makes the labor expensive, In
efficient and hard to secure. When
crops are rotated the work is spread
over longer season. Competent help
is then more easily secured at reason
able prices.
9. Crop Rotation Is Crop Insurance.
Rotation of crops brings increased
returns and returns every year, favor
able or unfavorable, and continuously
through the year. In grain-growing
the returns grow less and come only
at threshing time. Some years thresh-
ing time never comes
10. Crop Rotations Better Returns.
Necessitate more manufacturing,
more transportation, more banking,
more merchandising. more profession

Keeps more boys and girls on the
farm, and brings better farming, bet

The products of the farm are the
foundation and measure of commerce,

ODD FENCE MADE OF SHELLS

A unique fence of shells may be
seen in st. Petersburg, Florida, and
fncloses the premises of Owen Al
bright. The idea originated with the
owner, and he did the work himself.
The framework of the structure is
of iron meshing. and on this is plas-
tered cement. While the cement was
still wet every shell was carefully
placed by hand. Two hundred thou
sand shells were used In the making
of this peculiar fence. and over 40
varieties were brought into use Many
of the shells retain their pristine col
or. The idea is an original one. indeed,
and the result Is effective.
