From all indications the Socialist party
is the only party whose candidates in
the coming municipal campaign will
have been selected by workingmen and
women, all the other parties are being
gobbled up by Big Business. and office
seekers. Remember the Socialist party's
candidates are selected by the rank and
file. They do not allow office-seekers,
and they make the candidates sign their
resignation as soon as they accept the
nomination, so in case they are elected
the party will have control over them.
Which list of candidates will represent
the workers if elected, the ones chosen
by Big Business, or the ones chosen by
the workers? Study this over, you work
ers, and strike at the ballot box, by vot-
ing for candidates from your own class.

pHoNY INJUNCTION BILL.

Washington-The period of introduc-
ing phony Injunction bills has arrived.
Congressman Moon of pennsylvania has
lust introduced an alleged Injunction
limitation bill which represents the Taft
idea. It makes legal the present abuse
of the courts In arbitrarily issuing In
functions in labor disputes, and only pre-
scribes that speedy hearing be given on
restraining orders issued on the spur OF
the moment. The Moon bill can be
classed as simply a campaign scheme
for consumption by the congressman's s
constituents at home.

Game of Nonsense.

The company being seated In cir.

neighbor on his left an article; this one
whispers to the one on the left an ad-
jective; he whispers 70 the one on his
left a noun, and each W hispers to the
one on the left the following parts Of
speech in regular order: An article, an
adjective, a noun singular, verb, an
adverb, a number, another adjective
and a noun plural, the last one ending
by whisperi lg to the first.
When each has had the word whis
pered in his or her ear the second one
tells. his. word aloud, then the third
fourth, and so on. until complete sen
tence is spoken.
The first player whispers the article
a, second one the adjective magnii.
cent, third one the noun leopard, fourth
one the verb contemplated, fifth one
the adverb pensively, sixth one the
number nineteen, seventh one another
adjective, exasperated, and the eighth
one noun in plural, kangaroos, to fin
ish the sentence
Each one now speaking his whisper
ed word aloud, the nonsense is:

He Knew His Name.


Among the stories told from time to
time to illustrate the intelligence OF
dogs none is more charming than this
little anecdote, said to be true, Of the
dog belonging to the poet Whittier:
One day when the poet was celebrat-
ing his birthday he was visited by a
woman who was fine singer. On be-
ing asked to sing this woman seated
herself at the piano and began the
beautiful song called robin Adair.'
While she was singing Mr.. Whittiers
pet dog came into the room, and, seat
ing himself by the woman's side, he
listened with unusual attention to her
song. When she had finished he came
and put his paw very gently into her
hand and licked her cheek
J. Robin has taken that song as trib.
ute to himself" said Mr.. Whittier, "for
his name is also Robin Adair."
The dog. having heard his own name
IN the song. seemed to think that it
was all for his benefit. From that mo-
ment and during all the woman's visit
he was her devoted attendant. He
kept at her side while she was indoors,
and when she went away he carried
her satchel in his mouth, with every
evidence of distress.

Money In Birds' Nests.

A small boy Of Caldwell, N. j., is the
richer by $40 for the fact that some
sparrows chose to build their nests in
the attic windows of his home. John
Bowman is his name, and it all came
about when some sparrows annoyed his
mother so much that she told him to
destroy their nests that had been built
In the windows on the top floor. John
went ahead to do so, like an obedient
son, but he was somewhat surprised
to find that inside the first nest was a
tiny scrap Of ten dollar bill. John
didn't think much Of this, but he be-
came interested when he went on and
found that in the other nests were
other pieces Of the note. Seemingly the
colony Of the birds had divided the
booty between them. John went on to
collect all the pieces Of the bill he could
and then sent them on to the treasury
department at Washington to be re-
deemed.

Don't ship your cream,

the belief that it will pay you
better than : taking it to the

superintendent NJ nnes OF a
Northwest substation. There
is nothing that will pay you
better than the cooperative
creamery in your own neigh

There are nearly a thousand
cooperative creameries i n

many, if they are not the best
way for the farmer to manu-
facture and sell his butter?
Where the first built creameries
are becoming old and worn-out
you will find the farmers build
ing new ones, some of them
costing as high as ten thousand
dollars. They build again be-
cause thev have paid, and farm
ers, your cooperative creamery
will pay too, if every farmer
does the square thing by it.
A creamery can succeed
where there are 400 or more
cows, if all the farmers will
