EMPLOYERS AND THE MILITIA SERVICE.

Ohicago Record-Herald: Certain highty and mis-
guided labor leaders have often been severely crit
,cised by employers and civic bodies for hostility
toward the National Guard, yet Colonel Greene
chief of staff of the Illinois National Guard, found
that several employers resented the order issued to
q company at Oak Park to proceed to Rock Island
Aor the pnrpose Of supervising riotng there and
reestablishing peace and order.
Colonel Greene notes with regret and apprehen
sion that the same mental attitude has been ~
veaed by some employers at other times. They
object to summer encampments or even to active
service in emergencies because Of tbs inoonven'
,snce entaed by the depletion Of their office foro-
es and they cut the pay of employees who are
members of the National Guard whenever they stay
away under orders.
1t ought not to be necessary to plead with such
employers or argue deliberately that their feelings
are neither patriotic nor enlightened from bust
ness point of view. No life, property or GUINNESS
is secure where the National Guard is not encour-
aged to do it's duty The first condition of pros
perity is order. and is not always matter of NOR
al suasion To make service in the National Guard
unpopular and too hurdensome is to jeopardize the
essential interests Of the state moral and econom-
Employers should not only cherfully speed
guardsmen summoned for service but Colonel
Greene suggests, should refrain from docking
their pay at such times. The employers who have
already adopted this policy wide and public
spirited.

WITH THE FARMERS.

This seems to be If the old fashioned
springs We have had some unusually heavy rains
this spring. and in addition there was very heavy
fell of snow Saturday night and all day Sunday
The snow melted almost fast it came down
and under ordinary conditions 1t would have aver
aged more than foot. The storm was quite gen
eral over the northwest and there is nothing to do
but to secure good seed and put it into the ground
in good shape. That going to get one Of
THOSE old fashioned crops that you've all read
about, is the general opinion E
While soil will absorb all OF the moisture
that falls. under proper method, it will now pro.
duce crop with very little more rain. .
The average rainfall in this country, according
to government reports, for period of years. is 81
inches year and we have fallen considerably
short of this during the past two years, it is only
fair to presume that we going to get above the
average this year Consequently farmers strain.
ing every effort to put in good sized crops and bus
mess men who own land will not let any more Of
it lie idle than they have to. Look for some brisk
farming operations this year. ~,
Very little seeding has been done. The farmers
would have welcomed a fall of wet snow after
wheat seeding is completed.
The farmers who bought gas traction blowing
outfits will not be able to start soon the
others do, but will make up for It, Several blowing
outfits were stalled last week in the wet fields
