In the democracy of the dead all

arus his rags. The poor man is as
rich as the richest, and the ii h
man is as poor as the pauper. The
creditor loses his usury, and the
debtor Is acquitted OF his obliga-
ton. There the proud man sur
renders his dignities, the politician
his hOnOrs, the wording his pleas

can, and the laborer rests from un-
requited toll. Here at last is ma
lures final degree in equity. The
wrongs Of time are redressed, in
justice is expiated. the irony of
fate Is refuted, the unequal distri-
button of wealth. honor. capacity,

rsakes life SO cruel and inexplicable

Safe Guarding Devices for Factories

In order to secure a closer relation
ship between the labor bureau and the
industrial insurance commission, State
Labor Commissioner E. w. Olson is
planning to inaugurate complete new
system for standardizing safeguarding
devices in factories and mills. To
this end the members of his factory
inspection staff are including in their
inspection data facts by which it may
be known exactly what machines are
responsible for the respective percent
age of injuries and what conditions of
safeguarding has been found to be
most safe and most hazardous. While
Mr.. Olson does not expect that such a
system can be established satisfactorily
inside Of several years, he says that he
is confident that the welfare OF industry
demands it, and he proposes to call a
conference some time this summer be-
tween all the state inspectors and the
labor bureau, to which conference it is
probable the representatives of manu-
featuring and industrial interests Of the
state will be invited.

FARMERS, RANCHERS' and
FRUIT GROWERS COLUMN

With the approach Of warm weather
rather delayed in most parts Of the
state-poultrymen should be alert to
keep down the lice and mites which
are so detrimental to both young and
old in the flock, and multiply so rap
idly in warm weather. They should
begin at once, and get the start on
the enemy.
Hens should come off the nest with
their chicks free from lice, or mites,
as they will, if insect powder has been
literally used during the period OF set
ting. Persian Insect Powder" is
good. A box Of road-dust should be
kept where the setting hens can dust
themselves daily, when they come off
to feed.
The chick quarters should be
cleaned daily, using insect powder
about the hovers once weekly. If pos
sible, turn the hovers upside down in
the sunlight, occasionally. Keep a
dust bath in the young chicks quar-
tiers. Avoid overcrowding chicks at all
stages of their growth.
