Industrial Workers in New Jersey
Town Defy Sheriff's
Manifesto.
CLUBS AND REVOLVERS USED.
Yolley Discharged into Mob Fails Of
EHect-Crowds Scatter and Ar
rests Made.

Passaic, ~. j., April 5.-The most
serious riot of the present lextilel
strike took place today when Charlie
Rothsinher, an organizer for the In
ternational workers of the world de-
fed Sheriff Robert Conklin'S manifes-
to against public meetings and was ar
rested. Sympathizers tried to rescue
him and in the fight that followed the
deputies used both clubs and revol-
vers. Despite the fact that they fired
volley point blank at the mob none
of the men and women composing it
SO, far can be learned, were hit. Five
arrests were made before the deputies
finally scattered the crowd. The bat
tie took place in Garfield, just across
the river from Passa:c.
The temper of the strikers has been
ugly ever since yesterday when the
sheriff posted printed notice in
which he called into effect long for
cotton state law which prohibited pub
lie gatherings. The strike leaders de-
nounced the action of the officer as a
violation of the constitutional rights
of free speech.
The leaders announced that they
would not obey Cocklin's orders and
he Immediately swore in additional
deputies to enforce them.
Today Rothsinher went from this
city to Garfield where the strikers
were conducting u moving picketing
plan. He started to address the
crowd and a dozen deputies who had
been in waiting pushed through to
where he was talking. The crowd
tried TO stop them. The officers
struck out right and left without re-
gard to aye or sex. They reached
Rothsinher's side and Immediately
placed handcutfS on MN.
This was the signal for real fight
and the crowd shouting angrily, swoop
ed down on the deputies and their
prisoner.
With the handcuffcd organizer in
the middle, the deputies formed a
their way out of the crowd while the
other deputies that had been held in
reserve in the mill yards started on
the run to their rescue. The crowd
broke up into small knots and fight
ing became general.
Finally someone shouted "use your
guns" and several of the deputies
drew revolvers and fired at the crowd.
The men and women then broke and
ran in few minutes the roadway was
clear.
One striker was picked up after the
fight unconcious but later revived and
so far as could be learned no one was
seriously hurt. A deputy, Henry Fa-
gan, was hit in the face with stone
and his nose hattened and large
cash cut in his cheek. The deputies
made five arrests, including the or
eanizer and the prisoners were lock-
ed in the Hackensack Jail. Further
rioting is expected.

slip your memory, that the contest
closes April Is. and when it is all over
be able to say as Bill Nye said: IL

It's Anybody's Victory
No candidate has cinch in her dis
trict and the only way for any Of
them to win is by keeping at work un-
til the last hour the polls are open,
for there are bound to be some sur
prises and some unexpected candidates
forge to the fore.
Candidates, in these closing days
of the contest is the time to show your
mettle. Every hour counts as it has
never counted before, and after nine
o'clock, Monday night, April Is, it will
be too late to work. Don't allow your
self to be in position then to regret
that you did not do just a little more
work in order to win in your district
A hint to the wise ought to be suffi-
cient.
Pay no attention to the reports that
are carried to you regarding the stren-
9Th of your opponents. These candi-
dates fear you just as much as you
fear them and any many cases over
jealous friends will start in clrcu-
lation story of some candidates re-
serve special ballot strength for the
sole purpose Of discouraging her op-
ponents and thus rendering the VIC.
tory thus certain for their favorite.
Give no heed to eleventh hour roor-
backs, but bend every energy to sec
uring such reserve strength your
self that it will spell victory for you
in the end.

There is just one new leader in the
/! Alexandria Gazette's European Con-
test-MiSs L. Violet Proctor votes
one special barrot and tops the big
lead gained by Miss King Wednesday.
i Big leads are not worring the active
contestants to any extent these days,
! and no matter how far one gets in
\ front in either of the three districts
it is only matter of few days un-
Ill someone else is u little bit better.
Miss King is second; Miss Spofford is
third and Miss Nellie Uhler is follow
/ ing with just a few votes behind the
leader. Isn't it an EVEN RACE? 1t
n looks now as if the winners will get
the trip by just small margin in
this district. 1t is very likely that
"iust one or two more" subscriptions
will win.

Yesterday and comes to the second
place. Miss Kroes Ficklin who was
second yesterday drops to third, but
Miss Julia Lewis cast the heaviest
Vote, 200 in specials and some cou-
mons. The voting remains quiet in
the third but they are WORKERS.

between now and April Is, at 9 o'clock
WILL. THAT BE YOU? You can win!
In fact any candidate who puts forth
her very best efforts the remaining
lays can and will in all probability
WIN.
With the passing of today just 8
gnore working days remain-but what
4 vast amount Of work can be done in
that time! Any contestant in any of
the three districts can make the final
spurt for the goal ard win valuable
tour in these eight days.
Improving the Time
Yesterday one contestant, who is
nav down in the list in her district,
informed the contest manager that
she had already secured more than
fifty thousand votes in special bal
OTIS this period and that she was sur
brised to find how easy task it was
o secure them and believes she can
Bouble that number before the polls

While the girls opponents think she
doing little or nothing and do not
ear her as a competitor at all, she
has been busy and is prepering for
hem the biggest kind of surprise.
That shows what determination ana
affective work will do, and there are
ute number of candidates in the

NEED OF CONSERVING WATER
Necessity Of Storing Moisture In Soil
During Periods Of Wet Weather
to Use During Drouth.

The Nebraska experiment station
Bulletin No. ia. on storing moisture
in the soil. is report Of work done
at the experimental station located at
North Platte. 1t takes up the neces-
sity Of storing water in the soil dur.
Ing periods Of wet weather. to be used
during periods of drouth.
The charts show that water Is con-
served In the soil through cultivation
and that 1t is necessary to keep the
surface Of the soil loose and In re-
ceptiye condition to get the water into
the soil. Almost as much water is got
into the soil during the early part Of
the season where cultivated crop II
being grown as is conserved by sum.
mer tillage. This il due to the fact
that the surface soil is kept loose
enough to hold the water that falls
until 1t can get down into the soil.
and the loose soil on the surface
prevents evaporation. It is also due
to the fact that comparatively few
plants are being grown in a cultivated
field. and these do not draw very
heavily on the water supply during
the early part Of their growth.
In small grain field more plants
are grown. with the result that the
water Is used more rapidly and less
water is got into the soil. In fields
growing alfalfa or bronze grass, where
the number Of growing plants are
large and the surface Of the soil ID
smooth and hard. 1t is seldom that
enough water 1ts into the soil to
moisten It below two or three feet.
BY the method Of summer tlling prac.
ticed from 40 to so per cent. OF the
seasons rainfall has been stored for
the use OF the subsequent crop. On
this type Of soil the water in the up.
per six feet is available for the crop.

LIVE STOCK IN
COLD WEATHER
Animals Must be Fed and Watered
Regularly and Daily Wants
Supplied = Need Sone
Exercise.

To keep the stock In good, thrifty
condition they must be fed and wa.
tered at regular hours and be given
regular exercise. Their daily wants
must be supplied. and these vary
somewhat. according to the weather.
II is here that the intelligence.
promptness and experience OF the
farmer come into play. Where there
Is much stock to attend to and only
two persons to do the work, 1t Is i'm
portant to know what to do first This
will vary according to circumstances.
In our own case. commencing at 5
o'clock In the morning. the cows and
horses are first fed. says writer In
the Baltimore American. While the
cows are eating their mixed feed the
stables are cleaned. the udders
washed and wiped dry and then
MIXED. The milk Is strained into
coolers and as soon as full carried to
the stone dairy and set In tank OF
running water. Then breakfast.
The first thing after breakfast, or
about sunrise. is to send OF the milk
to the railroad station. In winter the
nights and mornings milk ls sent
once a day; In summer the milk Ia
shipped morning and evening.
After the milk is sent of the far'
mer or hla help gives the cows a
feed OF long mixed hay. The cows
are then corded and brushed down,
and as soon as the hay Is eaten the
COWS are turned out for exercise and
to drink. The horses are then cur
ried and watered and the stables
cleaned. The pigs are given warm
mill.feed slop, and the hens get q lit
tie mixed grain which Is scattered
through the cut straw Of the feeding

The hay and grain for the milk

a large feedbox which is fastened to

VALUE OF FLOWING IN FALL
Should ee Done In Order to Permit
Winter Precipitation to Enter Soils
Easily and Effectively.

1t Is generally conceded that In Or
der to permit the winter precipitation
to enter the soils easily and effectively.
the soil should be plowed in the fall
and left in a rough state throughout
the winter. To prevent loss Of this
storage moisture. when the warm sun.
shine Of spring and summer appears.
the fall plowed soil should be harrow.
ed In early spring. and by means Of re-
peated harrowings q dry earth mulch
should bu kept on the surface. On
the overwhelming majority Of western
soils the only right time for plowing
is In the fall. On an equally large
proportion Of western soils the best
method OF preventing evaporation from
soils is deep and thorough cultivation.
The soil Of the farm on which the
experiments reported In this bulletin
were conducted was titled in the best
possible manner. The top soil was
loose and permitted the ready en-.
trance OF water. The field was usual
ly plowed In the fall During two sea
sons only 1t was possible to secure
comparative data dealing with fall
versus spring plowing. While the DIFF
ference In both seasons was small. In
both cases 1t was In favor Of the fall
plowed soil.
Some workers in this field have
noted the small increase in the per
centage Of soil moisture to certain
depths resulting from fall plowing.
and have hastily concluded that fall
plowing has little value In conserving
the natural precipitation. In view Of
the law Of the approximate constancy
Of the soil moisture In the spring such
views may be revised. Fall plowing
undoubtedly conserves the winter
precipitation.-Utah Bulletin No. 104.

have effected the greater part OF the
changes to power equipment for farm
implements.
The gasoline engine has been a
blessing particularly to the farmers
wife, who has been relieved OF much
OF the heavy work OF housekeeping In
the country by the application OF the
force in performing the drudgery Of
the kitchen, the laundry and the dairy.
1t Is a very inconsiderate farm hus-

OF the gasoline engine to operate

In farming operations the gasoline
