BIG HAY CROP NEEDED.
m tho Reconcile New Err.

From the Rochelle New Era.
The damage which has been done
to cotton and other crops by the high
waters may be made up in the good
which has been done the hay crop,
provided the farmers pay attention
to hay making this year. Reports
indicate that the visible supply of
hay will not last the country more
than sixty days, while it will be
twice that long before the new crop
comes in.
The report indicates that hay,
which is already high, is going to be
a great deal higher before summer is
over. The wise farmer is going to
pay all possible attention to saving
hay 1t will not only save expense
on the farms, by furnishing food for
stock, but it will prove a good mon
ey crop, for hay is about as staple as
cotton, and at the present prices
there is plenty of money in it.

gathers, and before them they press
into the Temple the shrinking form

tiers of the game, and behind them
the rabble, hungry for blood as OF

THE WORK OF WONIEN's CLUBS

The Triton Gazette pays deserved
tribute to the work that is being
done for the betterment of humanity
by the women's clubs. No agency in
Dawson has contributed more to
the civic welfare Of this community
as the good women, and Tho News
takes advantage Of this opportunity
10 make acknowledgment of the adj
vancement along many lines that has
been wrought through their energy,
tact and ability.
The article of our Triton con-
temporary is as follows, and what it
says of the womens club of its own
town is just as true of the one here
in Dawson:
Perhaps the most notable forward
movement Of the new century is the
work of the Women's Clubs, espe-
cialIy of those of the United States.
The general federation now includes
forty-nine declarations in fOrty-seven
states, the District of Columbia and
Canal Zone, with over 1000 clubs
and 100000 members.
The work is especially along lines
of value to women and children, the
home and school and civic improve
ment.
Some of the things these organiza-
tons have accomplished are wonder
full, through the bringing together of
women from every state to consider
fhe common interest.
Art libraries, collections and com
missions have been established pub
lie taste cultivated; civil service re-
form advanced; assistance given in
conservation work and 'orest preser-
walton, and in the enforcement of
the pure food law, and laws for pro-
lection of birds.
There has been intelligent study of
industrial and social conditions, I'M
firing work for civic beauty; estab-
lishment of musical scholarships;
assistance in securing laws to pro-
tect the young and helpless; found
ing public and travelling libraries,
and the creation of a department of
public health.
Some idea of the general work can
be had here by seeing the work of
the local club.
Triton is known as the cleanest
town in the state; for this we must
thank the women, for they have both
worked themselves and made others
work.
They have worked for cleanliness,
for civic beauty, to encourage educa-
ton and for sanitation and civic i'm
provement.
In short, for all that is good, and
some of the best. things we have,
things that really make life more
worth living, come to us as the work
of these women.

HIGH COST OF FARM PRODUCTS.

HIGH COST OF FARM PRODUCTS.
The Birmingham News says that
the down-trodden farmer of other
years is now having an inning, and
if he does not get rich with the pre-
vailing prices of beef pork, poultry,
eggs, corn and potatoes it is his own
fault or the defect in his system Of
marketing his products.
To the above the Columbus Ledg-
er adds the following comment:
F'This is not far from correct. AS
stated in press dispatches a day or
two ago beef has reached the highest
price known for twenty years in the
Eastern cities, and the packers COM
plain that farmers are not feeding
cattle for market with corn worth
nearly a dollar a bushel and that
there is a scarcity of suitable live
stock. Even cotton seed meal is
worth about $50 a ton, and it is
expensive to feed cattle FOR slaughter
on such high-priced commodities. -
While it is clear that much Of the
high cost of food in the larger mar
kets is due to the trusts that handle
these commodities it is equally GER
tain that the best remedy lies in the
planting and cultivation of greater
food and forage crops.

The farmers of Georgia attended
to their political work with neatness

They can't be fooled with hot air and
empty promises always.

Beware of the Movement" Said a
Frenchman, (Which Generates
It's Own Songs.

Ray Stannard Baker, writing a re-
port of the Lawrence strike in the
May American Magazine, says that
the movement in Lawrence was a
singing movement. IT'S the first
strike I ever saw which sang" he
says. Mr.. Baker goes on:
II shall not soon forget the curl
GUS lifa, the strange sudden fire of
the mingled nationalities at the
strike meetings when they broke in
to the universal language of song.
And not only at the meetings did
they sing, but at the soup houses
and in the streets. | saw a group
of women strikers, who were peeling
potatoes at a relief station, suddenly
break into the swing of the 'Interna-
tional.' They have whole book of
songs fitted to familiar tunes-the
'Eight-Hour Song the Banner of
Labor Workers, Shall the Masters
Rule Us?' and so on-but the favor
ite of all was the socialist song call
ed the The Internationale.' Here
are two stanZaS:
Arise, We prisoners of starvation!
Arise, We wretched of the earth,
For justice thunders condemnation,
A better worlds in birth.
No more traditions chains shall
bind us,
Arise, We slaves, no more in thrall!
The earth shall rise on new founda-
tions,
We have been naught, we shall
be ALL
Refrain:
'Tis the final conflict
Let each stand in his place;
The Industrial Union
Shall be the human race.
1T is not short of amazing, the
power of a great idea to weld men
together. Each morning at the
strike meeting they called the roll of
the races-Armenians, Syrians, Ger
mans, Jews, Americans, Italians,
Poles and so on-and as each was
called the representative arose and
gave a report for his people. There
was in it all peculiar intense, vital
spirit-a religious spirit, if you will
that I never felt before in strike.
Moreover, the meetings were con-
Quoted with the utmost publicity
no secret cOnclaVes, no underhand
dealing. At first everyone predicted
that it would be impossible to hold
these divergent people together, but
aside from the skilled men, some of
whom belonged to craft unions, COM
paratively few went back to the
mills. And as a whole the strike was
conducted with little violence

The Pessimist's Doleful Song.

A dog sat out in the midnight chill
and howled at the beaming moon;
his knowledge of music was strictly
nil and his voice was out of tune.
And he howled as the hours went by
while lodging the bricks we threw,
till the moon was low in the western
sky and his voice was split in two.
And there wasn't a thing at which
to howl, over which a pup should
weep, and the course of the dog was
wrong and foul, for people were wild
to sleep. There are plenty of men
like that blamed fool hound, who
yell when there is nothing wrong

SOFT COAL WAGE
DISPUTE SETTLED
PENNSYLVANIA, INDIANA, OHIO
AND ILLINOIS OPERATORS
GRANT INCREASE.
10000 WORKERscALLED OUT
Secret Agreement Between Union and
Illinois Operators Proved to Be
Wedge That Brought East
ern Men to Terms.

Cleveland, O.-Peace in the bitum
u coall fields and a suspension II
the anthracite regions.
Coal operators in western Pennsyl
vania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
agreed to a general increase in wages
of 5 cents a ton on screened lump
with a corresponding increase for day
labor and to grant a fve-hour WORK
day on Saturday.
John P. White, president of the
United. Mine Workers, has issued an
order to the men in the anthracite
fields, calling out all of the 10000
miners, except such as are necessary
to protect property. Negotiations are
now being carried on through DR.,
Charles P. Neill, United States com
missioner Of labor, to bring about an.
other conference with the anthracite
operators, but it is not expected that
a settlement will be reached until
after May i.
On the question of local working
conditions, the operators asked that
no state rules be adopted that would
increase the cost of mining beyond
the rate agreed upon in interstate con
ference, while the miners insisted that
the operators do nothing which would
reduce the earning capacity of the
men. The subcommittee held an even.
ing session to discuss those proposi-
tons, and it ultimately was agreed
that local conditions remain as at the
present, the miners waving all de-
mands In return for wage increase
and reduction in hours.
The policy committee of the United
Mine Workers are in session today to
formally approve the action Of the
scale committee. The settlement will
be referred to a referendum vote of
the miners, but there is no doubt as
to its acceptance, as it has the en-
dorsement of all the national and
state officers. State conventions will
be called as soon as possible to fix
the details of a working contract, and
while the men in most of the districts
will suspend work temporarily, it will
not affect the general public, as work
will be resumed as DON as the de-
mand for coal warrants it.
While the settlement here does not
apply to the Southwest territory or to
Iowa, Michigan or Kentucky, all those
states will accept the new scale with
out a fight.
