MINNEAPOLIS UNION
Organizer Martel Here and Inter-
ests Local Hotel Men in
Organization.

A. F. Martel of Minneapolis, inter-
national organizer of Hotel and Res
taurant Employees International All1-
ance, was a visitor in Duluth during
the week. Mr.. Martel came here to
urge the Duluth chefs to affiliate
themselves with the cooks union. He
met with exceptional success.
incidentally, Mr.. Martel, who at
one time occupied the position of chef
at the Spalding hotel, held confer
ences with local hotel men and in
duced them ito place their orders
with the Minneapolis headquarters
for their culinary help. It is Mr..
Marteps idea to build up an organ
!zation radiating from Minneapolis to
Winnipeg and Duluth, and as far
west as Fargo.
The Duluth cooks will become
members of the Minneapolis local
union, which is known as the North
west Cooks association. Mr.. Martel
organized the st. Paul cooks last
week. 1t contains >ll the best chefs
In the city and the charter list con-
sists of forty well-known cooks. 1t
will be the purpose Of the St. Paul
union to furnish help for all points
in Minnesota south of st. Paul.

FARMERS AND LABOR
GETTING TOGETHER
Minnesota Wool Growers Send
Representative to Meet With
Federation Officials.

The Minnesota Wool Growers as
ISOLATION, is one of the few farmers
organiza tons of the state that is
startoing out with a purpose to get
results. Mr.. Magnus Brown of Far
mington, has. been put in charge of
the work Of the organiza ton, and he
has opened headquarters in Mime
apolis.
The wool growers Of the state who
are members Of this association are
attempting to eliminate all middlemen
between the producers and consum-
ers. They send their wool direct to
a wooden mill in Minnesota, after
which they have it made into blank
cts, TROUSERS, shirts and mackinaws
by Minneapolis garment workers. Mr..
Brown, their representative, has
charge Of all sales, and they are made
direct to the consumer.
The prices are unusually low,
mackinaws that ordinarily bring $40
are said to be sold for Sc. They are
all wool and made to wear. Mr..
Brown met with the executive coun-
Gil of the State Federation of Labor
In st. Paul, last Sunday and proposed
plan by which the farmers and Ia
borers might work together for the
disposal Of farm products, and by
which the laborers. in the city will be
enabled to purchase farm products a.
great deal cheaper than they are now
doing.

THE PASSING OF THE
CHRISTMAS STOCKING


For thu passing CT the Christmas
stocking the steam-heated house has
been unduly blamed. True, the lack
of chimney facilities increased the
difficulties of Santas work, but so
long as a stocking hung there to be
filled he generally managed som chow,
even though he had to sneak in dis
guised as Father, with the presents
under his coat. The fact is, the
stocking, for Christmas purposes, has
become inadequate. Only Taftian
trouser-leg would hold what the mo-
dern expects to receive.
Pink-striped stick candy, nuts,
oranges, a tin horn, or very young
doll-baby could be slipped into a
stocking without straining it. But il
forced to swallow the pony-skin coat
which Daughter wants, Sons motor
BOAT, or Mothers grand piano, the
best guaranteed stocking is apt to
spring a leak.
When stockings were made of WOOL
en- or cotton, even Mother found delv-
Ing In the slim, dark depths fascinat-
Ing. Each package was fingered and
speculated over before being brought
to the light. Alas, there can be no
surprise concealed in a cobweb stock
ing; 1t was never intended to con-
ceal anything.
In the stocking hanging age a.
mother had leisure to indulge in such
light and frivolous accomplishments
as darning and mending. Now she
may have, say, a Greek drama club,
Mothers Congress-, a suffragette
parade, and the writing of paper on
1.-The Effect of Schopenhauer upon
the Mind OF the Igorote,' all in one
week. With every week equally full
OF vitality important work, can she be
blamed for tucking Tommy's heelless,
toeless stockings under his crib where
Santa Claus can't see them?
The time-honpred custom of hang
Ing up the Christmas stocking will
eventually cease to be observed for
lack of a stocking to hang up-near-
ly everybody wears hose. these days

Bee BalI Today

The Laclede baseball team has
another real game on hand for this
afternoon, when they will meet the
Browning team. Browning is al
ways strong, and that they are up
to the usual mark is shown by the
result Of Sundays game, when
they defeated Brookfield 4-3. The
locals are practicing hard for this
game and it isIlikely that there will
be few changes in the lineup.
There was a good crowd out last
Friday and they saw a good game.
The game today should be even
better and everybody who enjoys
the national sport should see it.
The game will be called at $3.50,
after the Memorial services are
over. Admission 25 cents; ladies
Is cents. No extra charge for
seats

SOME PEOPLE ARE VERY Selfish
Would Be Happier If LacIede and
MeadviIIe Were Off the Map

When the taxpayers of Linn
county voted bonds for the erection
OF new court house at Linneus,
it woke up the people there to a
very commendable degree of enter
prise and civic pride, and some Of
the results are already to he seen
in their magnificent new hotel and
many other Improvements that are
making our county seat much
better town than it ever was before.
And the Blade gladly tenders
heartiest congratulations and best
wishes for its continued prosperity
and steady growth in population
and business enterprise.
After what the county has done
for. .Linneus, it was expected that
the people of Linneus would be
willing for the other less fortunate
towns in the county to get a few
crumbs of public bounty along
with them, particularly if it didn't
cost Linneus anything.
And right here is where our kick
comes in, and not only ours, as
will develop later in the story.
The recent legislature passed
what is known as the county seat
highway law" providing for an
appropriation of $15 per mile for
the maintenance of certain roads to
be known as county seat high
ways. !"
Certain few prominent and in
fiuential citizens of Linneus are
asking the highway commission to
so lay out these county seat high
ways" that Laclede and Meadville
may be left off the route, and run
ming across county to BrookieId,
md through EversonVille to
Livingston county, on tie ground
hat the people who have already
made their roads good deserve no
consideration, and that those who
will fix up their roads only if the
tate will pay for keeping them up
hould be the benefciaries of the
lew law.
In other words, these aforesaid
Influential citizens want the roads
o run only through Linneus trade
They do not fear the
competition of Everson-
lille, but are determined to shut
Ieadville and Laclede out of the
erritory they want to monopolize.
The Meadville Messenger rightly
ays: The logical route, the
lortest possible route, the route
ocommOdating the most people
ould pass through Meadville and
aclede, go from Laclede to Lin
Gus and back by the same road
ON Laelede east to Brookfield
I'd from there to Macon and
eytesville. And it adds: THE
'awbaek to the selection of this
gical route is the antiquated and
city of Linneus.
The BrOok6eld Auto Club last
eek unanimously passed the
flowing resolution: Resolved,
nat the BroOkfeld Auto Club

ighway Commission that in lay
g ont Linn and Livington cOun-
s they use the road south from

ireial clubs are using their best
