MORE MEN IS THE CRY!
High Wages in the Harvest Fields of the West Have Lur
ed Men to Them and Railroads Are Suffering

The Northwestern has had a more
remarkable experience. To aid in its
work of construction and track re-
pairing it secured 100 men and sent
them to Nebraska, to be dropped off
at stations where needed. AS soon
as the recruits got into the grain
country they began to leave the
trains. In some way the farmers had
learned of their coming and at dozens
of towns they were at the stations
waiting for them. AS soon as the
men left the train the farmers took
them into their automobiles and
whisked them away to the farms,
where the laborers are now getting
from $3.50 to $3.50 day, with three
square meals and a comfortable bed.
In all the cities in the grain states
there is shortage of men to do or
binary labor and men are being paid
Is cents and even more an hour for
the most common brand of work.

The harvesting of the small grain
crops in Nebraska and adjoining
states has brought about a remarka
BILE stringency in the labor market,
and the cry for men goes up in ev-
cry quarter, where common labor is
required. The farmers are paying
from $3.50 to $3.50 a day with board
and bed to their harvesters, and the
result is that the cities are being
deserted for the fields of ripening
grain.
Out in Omaha almost the entire
force of an express company quit
their work for the inviting harvest
fields and the company, deeming it an
easy matter 10 fill their places, ap-
piled to labor agencies for help. 1t
failed 10 obtain it, and it is still
short-handed, although it is paying
$40 a month.
The railroads are in even worse
plight. In the vicinity of Omaha the
Missouri Pacific has been compelled
to abandon all work in the line of
construction. 1t had $50 men at
work in one place and overnight the
whole force vanished to the grain
fields.

SNAKE CHARMED WITH MUSIC
Wrapped Around Man, the Reptile
Loosens Its Coil ON Victim as a
Girl Plays Instrument.

Punxsutawney, Pa.-With the coils
of a python twenty-five feet long
Tightening gradually around his body,
James Harve Stenger, manager for
carnival company, escaped being
crushed to death only through the
power of music to soothe the reptile
after the efforts of six men had failed
to disodge it.
Mr.. Stenger was experimenting the
unloading of a box of snakes when
the python escaped. For an instant
the REPTILE seemed to be dazed, and as
Mr.. Stenger took a stick and tried to
push it through a door into big glass
case the snake turned like flash. In
an instant the python entwined itself
around Mr.. Stenger, pinning his arms
to his sides
Six men went to Mr.. StengeTs aid
and attempted to pull the snake from
his body. The folds of the big reptile,
however. only drew closer, and Mr..
Stenger was on the verge of collapse
when Mile La Boneto, who owns the
REPTILE. appeared with a fageolet be-
tween her lips.
Stationing herself near the snake. she
began to play a low weird melody. at
the same time swaying her body to
and fro gently. Raising its head. the
pytbon began to sway in rhythm with
the player and the music. and. gradu-
ally loosening it's folds from Mr..
Stenger. it coiled on the ground with
its head swinging from side to side.
Slowly approaching the snake, Mile.
La Boneto. still playing gently. forced
it into the glass cage. In the mean
time Mr. Stenger, who had toppled
over unconscious when released from
the folds of the snake. was revived
and found to be nninjured-

THE NATIONS NAVAL NEEDS
We Are Paying for Insurance That
Does Not Insure, Is the Opinion
Admiral Dewey.

Declaring that adequacy" of naval
strength on the part Of the United
States "calls for a navy second in
strength to that of England only" and
that in his opinion 'inadequacy is an
invitation to war;" Admiral Dewey in
an article entitled Naval Efficiency a
Public Duty" which he wrote for
the official program for navy day at
Newport, R. L. adds that the nation
is ROW paying for naval insurance
which does not insure.
II believe it is the duty of each gen
Grafton" Admiral Dewey says, Ito pay
it's own insurance and not to thrust its
burdens on the generations that come
after, and the insurance for peace is
navy strong enough to compel it. The
only function and justification for the
existence of navy is the preservation
of peace. To perform this function the
navy must be adequate, and, though
so much discussed in these recent
times, the word adequate as applied
to the navy has but one meaning, and
that is an adequate navy is navy
Of a strength sufficient to meet and
defeat any probable enemy.
"This strength is not absolute, but
relative, and varies from period to pc
Rod as the other naval powers of the
world vary their naval strength. At
the present period adequacy on our
part calls for navy second in strength
to that of England only. and in my
opinion inadequacy is an invitation to
war.

sight of our fathers and grandfathers,

been paying the costs of the billions of

millions in pensions for which they
were mortgaged. and they still con-
tinue to pay
I'VE are paying today for the navy
as an insurance which does not insure
us, roughly. S1.5O per capita per an

paid in lives and money, we are still
mortgaged, by lack Of foresight in our
fathers, to the extent of the national
debt and the additional $3.50 per cap
ita per annum that we are paying in
pensions.
"Shan our lack of foresight continue
this system Of mortgaging the coming
generations, or shall we add the rela-
lively small sum needed to the INSULT
cient insurance we already pay to
mike that insurance adequate?"

OUR FRIEND, THE MULE.
The Best of Them Fetch From 1926
to 1915. Sugar and Cotton Make
Two Big Seasons for Them.

$1,000
Two Big Seasons for Them.
Here is what the biggest mule
dealer in the country, who does con-
siderably over 100000 worth of
business in the course of a year, has
to say of his stock in trade:
Kansas City sold more mules to
the British government during the
South African war than did any 9th
er market. At that time the Ameri-
can mule was a small creature and
the sale of the big lot during that
period was not any loss to this coun-
try. Nowadays the farming machin-
cry that a mule has to work would
be too heavy for the mule of 10 or IL
years ago. Since that time mule
breeding has been developed tremen-
dously by the use of better mares.
Twenty years ago the top price of
mules was from $50 to SIS. The
best mules now fetch anywhere from
1925 to $275, and the average of the
$500 I sold last year was $3.50. I
have seen some sell for $3.50 and 9th
ers, which were intended for show
have brought still bigger
prices.
while the South is a great coun-
try for using mules it is not much
for breeding them. Most of the
mules used in this country come from
Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. We
have two big seasons. The season
for what we call cotton mules starts |
in September and lasts until April |
Then the season for sugar mules |
begins in June and lasts until Sep
TENDER. The sugar mule is the best
on the market, but the cotton mule
is pretty good. We call them by those
terms because the former are in de-
mand for work upon the cotton plan
and the latter are needed for |
the sugar plantations"

Granted Privilege Of Using Instruments
without Polishers' Label

ST. LOUIS. Aug. l6- owen Miller.

executive council of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor has upheld the Musi-
clans Union in their protest against the
demand of the Metal polishers' lnlotl
that the musicians use only instruments

The metals polishers requested that
the musicians use only instruments
bearing the polishers' label, or else
have a card from the polishers, per-
mitting them to use imported instru-
ments
The musicians opposed the demand
on the ground that many of the best
instruments are made abroad and that
several kinds are not manufactured in
the United States.
