Keep your. silver,ware packed in dry
flour when not in use: If the pieces
are dried thoroughly. after being used
and packed in flour they will need no
polishing for a year. If packed in a
tin or iron box with an inch or more
OF flour between each piece and the
sides of the box it will save from
being destroyed by fire. Several
months ago our house burned, and as
the fire was burning fiercely when
discovered, many things were left,

next day just as good as before and

CLAIMS 5 STRIKE 4 !. IS !. IN
RESTRAINT Of TRADE.
New York Firm Asks for Injunc-
ton Against Carpenters Union .
TO Prevent Strike.
Constitutional Right of Labor to
Quit Work Involved in Novel
Court Order.

Have the members Of any union
the right to strike?
That is the question that is being
threshed out In the New York City
courts by Justice Stapleton in case
brought against the Carpenters union
by the Albro J. Newton Lumber
company.
The company asks that an injunc-
ton be issued forbidding the car
penters to strike, claiming that such
action on the part of any organized
branch of labor is in restraint Of
trade.
The carpenters claim that they have
the right to strike when at work at
any place at which union MATER
ial is used. The company is said to
furnish non-union material .and some
months ago the carpenters on eight
large buildings in the city went on
strike, claiming that it is against their
principles to erect buildings with non
union material.
The company puts up the conten-
ton that the carpenters have tried
by force to make it operate strictly
a union shop and that the very act is
unconstitutional:
The trouble arose over the wood
work. The union men claimed, and
with good reason, that the wood
work furnished was made in a non
union shop. They refused to use it.

still being out at the present time.
That the contention of the COM

Rattling Windows

In some houses the windows have
an unpleasant habit of rafting at all
times of the day and night, whenever
it is the least bit windy. In such a
case an ordinary clothespin is most
effective. 1t must be split in halves
and one half inserted on either side
between the framework and the win
dow. A. good plan is to paint the
clothespin the same color as the Win
dow frame, secure the pieces by a.
cord screw to the frame SO that they
will be in readiness when needed.

Paving Contracts April 8.

Eagle Grove is advertising for
bids upon paving, brick, Portland
cement, concrete, bitulithic and as
phaltic concrete. The specifications
are similar to those adopted by the
Webster City council, except the
Portland cement concrete averages
six and a half inches thick seven
inches at the crown and six inches
at the gutter. This will make quite
a difference in the cost of material.
AS Eagle Grove is paving her main
street this pavement will get much
more wear than the pavement in the
residence districts of Webster City.
Sioux City has put in considerable
concrete pavement only five inches
thick and it has given such good
that more will be put in
this year. Eagle Grove will award
the contract and determine the kind
Of pavement to be put in at the
council meeting on the Sth of April.

Work in this department Of athletics
will in no way hamper the track
work, as the base ball team will
hold no regular practices until
preparations for the annual contest
are completed. The locals have re-
ceived challenges from other high

who played basket ball with the
