GARRISON INDEPENDENT
BOOSTS CANDIDATES

The announcement of "Mike' -
Tellefson for clerk of court ap-
pears in this issue Of the lndep-
endent. Mike" has been work
ing for some time, has made sew
eral trips to different towns Of
the county and feels that the en-
couragement given him warrants
him in coming out for the no.
mination at the June primaries.
Mike" is pretty well known as
it is, but SO many new names are
coming out daily that the aver
age voter has little but an un-
|intelligible mass Of names to show
for. his reading of the political
announcements. The main idea is,
"Wlho are they9''-never mind
what they promise or what
party they have always
supported "Mike" is the
assistant, cashier Of the First
State Bank Of this city. He is
young, genial and we'll liked, and
experienced. If the people elect
him, they will have a clerk Of
court who is as honest ,as the day
is long about the middle of June
and a man whose sole idea will
be to keep the affairs of his Of
flee in apple-pie business order.
The shel.iffis office seems to
be the attractive one for candi-
dates. Nearly six candidates have
come out for that office in the
week. just a day or so after
Billy Malloy came out from here,
Sam Ulrich, village constable Of
this city, announced that he
would enter the race. This makes
something like fifteen men out
for there's S luck to all Of 'em.
We should worry.
Billy Mjalloy is out for Sheriff,
and evidently he is out in earn
est. He announced to his friends
early this week that he had decid-
ed to enter the race and was
going in to win. There are now
close to a dozen and half of
candidates for sheriff. A Wilton
man came out early this week
also. But Of this number very
few have the. chance to be the
high man, and Billy has friends
in other towns besides this who
will work hard for him. Private
ly, Billy promised us he would
serve oysters on the half shell at
the county ,jail-so we hope he
wins.
H. E. johnson of Ryder was
in Waah'burn this week. Mr..
johnson is one Of the busiest
men around here. He owns sew
eral hundred head of bloeded
stock which he keeps on his ranch
near Ryder, then too, he has q
big law practice. He stopped off
here to attend court and then
went on to Bismarck.

How a Farmer
Exposed Water
The Man Could Not Find the
Same Streams or Crossings
When Blindfolded

In the current issue OIL fafm
and Fireside, Fred Teleford
writes an interesting little ar.
ticle exploding the claims of
water witches. There are few
country communities without a
man known as a water witch. y
The water WITCH is supposed
to have the power to locate the
proper place for digging a well.
The witch" first selects a
peach or hazel fork, trims it care
fully, and then holds it in both
hands. He walks about and
whenever he passes over water
the fork is supposed to be at
tracted, and instead Of remain
ing upright it turns downward.
The more water below, the more
violent the attraction. Often he
claims to find underground
streams and his favorite device
is to have his employer dig at a
crossing Of two Of these streams.
Following is Mr.. Teleford's ac-
count of how shrewd Illinois
farmer proved that the ''water
witch" has, nothing but super
stition to back his claims:
The trial was made before a
large number of neighbors and
visitors. The witch with a
fork from peach tree held in
the approved fashion, walked
about in all sorts Of likely places.
In "a short time he had traced
two under ground streams, and
had marked the place where he
claimed that they crossed.
Dig there, he announced, land
you II find plenty of water. You
won't have to dig very deep
either
Perfectly satisfied the en-
ployer was preparing to turn
over the fee, ten dollars. But
one Of the visitors who had made
q study Of soils and who owned
an adjoining farm was skeptical.
1sYou, wouldn't object if /
tested you further!'
Not at all.
'sNot even if / blindfolded you
and tested you?'-
"Then came the test. Sure
enough the fork turned in the
blindfolded witch g hand; but.
strange to say, it turned errati-
cally. turned in places he had
tabled dry. 1t sometimes turn
ed above the ground streams he
had traced, but usually it did not
1t failed to turn even once at
the crossing" though the
witch" was led over it again
and again. And it never turned
twice in the same place.
This test only showed that
there is absolutely no reason for
believing that water attracts
peach or hazel forks in any Pc
culiar way" Minot Reporter.

Curious Form Of Child Labor IN the
English Pottery Region.

Curious Form Of Child Labor IN the
English Pottery Region.
From the English midlands comes
the report Of a still existing and re-
marlxable form Of child labor. It is
mentioned by Or. A. A. Hill OF Tun-
stall. Staffordshire. in the report OF the
CHIEF Inspector Of factories and work
shops for 1913 Describing the work
Of children. who. working as handle
makers, earn a living In the potteries
by jumping. he says:
"Small and understood boys and girls
are usually engaged as handle makers;
in fact, many have to reach the work
bench by standing on boxes or stools.
The strip of clay for the handle is
placed in the hollow space between the
halves Of the mold. which is then put
on the edge Of the bench. and the
young worker. making a short spring
or jump. presses with the full weight
of his body upon the top Of the mold.
repeating this process 100 to 200 times
per hour.
Great pain and tenderness" DR.. Hill
adds. "are thus induced. and many
young workers have to give up the oc-
cupation on account Of their suffering,
which could easily be prevented by a
little thought"

WOMEN OUT OF WORK.
Unemployed Female Toilers Have
Much to Contend Against.

Unemployed Female Toilers Have
Much to Contend Against.
Complaint is being made that in all
our recent agitation for the intelligent
handling Of the problem Of unemploy-
ment woman was completely lost sight
of. AS matter Of fact. it Is stated.
woman suffers from unemployment to
not inconsiderable extent. Many of
the trades open to her are seasonal.
In time of general depression women
get no more consideration from en-
ployers than men.
While there are. however, a hundred
and one places where the unemployed
man can spend the day and even
night. where he can find shelter from
cold and rain. where he can even get
food free, the number of places open
to the unemployed woman is very
small. She cannot spend the day in
a saloon. She cannot sleep in a hall
way. She cannot beg in the street the
price Of a cup of coffee.
Why does not. the woman who is in
such plight turn to homework? IS
often asked To begin with, there is
no homework for all such unemployed
women. You cannot make cook out
of glovemaker or bindery girl on
short notice or no notice at all The
problem of unemployment among wo-
men, it is argued. must be met with
the same provisions and agencies that
come to the help Of the unemployed
man. There is not only reason in this
demand: justice and humanity are on
its side. The woman out of job is en-
titled to all the consideration man gets
and more. Chicago Tribune.

The Exploitation of Women and Chill.

The offense of child labor is as a
curse laid upon our civilization Its
blightlng influence over future genera
tons cannot fail to work profound
deterioration unless steps are taken
to conserve our human resources at
least as intelllgently as merely ma
terial resources are safeguarded.
What an exhibit was that made be-
fore the state factory commission of
New York when George Hall of the
New York child labor commission re-
vealed the record of his researches!
Mr.. Hall showed the members of the
commission IA bunch of artificial
violets, the work of a girl fourteen.
years old" He stated. The girl had
to make $40 of these flowers and paste
them into wreaths for 10 cents" her
average weekly earnings derived from
I this application not exceeding 81.
Mr.. Hall presented the record of a
grandmother and three children en-
gagged in making artificial flowers,
whose united labors. protracted
through long hours, yielded but the
Dittance of SO and 81 a week. or about
$3.50 apiece.
How is 1t possible for women and
children to exist ON such wage? How
shall society escape responsibility for
permitting greed and avarice thus to
coin miserable profits out Of the lives
of women and chfidrQng
Whenever humane men and women
protest against the continuance Of such
economic conditions and demand that
society shall intervene for the protec-
ton Of the oppressed they encounter
the cry that they are hurting bust
ness. LOS Angeles Express.

CHILD LABOR IN GEORGIA.
State Slow to Adopt Measures Pro-
hibiting infant Toll.

Again has the Georgia legislature
voted to continue the states dishonor
by CHASING her among the few remain
ing states which fatten on the labor
OF children. Year after year Georgians
who honor Georgia try to redeem her
from this disgrace by enacting law
prohibiting child labor The house
passes the bill, and the senate under
the guidance of the mill owners either
kills it outright or passes it in such
shape that it is unohjectionable to
them. This year the melancholy farce
is again repeated
There are signs. however, that the
enemies of Georgia's good name are
not to have their way forever. This
years bill, emasculated and feeble as
It IS. is II little stronger than any vet
passed. 1t is an encouraging sign thar
.he house plucked mp courage to de
mand a conference and still more en-
couraging one that. according to Sen
ators Mcneil and Miller, the senate
conference committee was packed. The
friends of the mill owners were so
afraid of the result that they did not
dare to take any chances, and they
violated the custom of appointing at
least one leader in the fight for bill
TO the conference committee.
The mill operatives have been union
tied, too. and will show as they gain
strength what they can do to end the
competition OF men with children. 1t
is much to be regretted. however. that
Georgia should nor abolish the iniquity
while she can still claim TO do so from
altrulstic motives instead Of waiting
until she is coerced by organized labor.
Sooner or later she will have to come
to it, and she should take the step
while she can do so with credit-Eew
