to the l. W. w. movement. In my
opinion this is a very bad policy to
practice.
If any member or set of members
are trying to disrupt one organiza-
ton, in order to build up another,
with th!A same membership that for
med the one in their opinion should
be disrupted, it is wrong policy to
undertake or practice. To change the
name of an organization will not
brig about the desired results. What
We need, is more activity, loyalness,
courage of our convictions and soil
darity to- each other, to secure moral
and material betterment Of both the
individual and the community, and if
we continue to- practice these great
principles and impress upon the minds
Of our fellow workers, the great need
of carrying out these principles, we
will have finally secured that great
ideal, Of the working class human nap-
Ipiness.
In my opinion the fundamental prin-
ciple of our organization is not fully
recognized by a great number Of our
members, and as the result of this,
in many instances we were not able to
obtain what Tightfully belong to us.
Our SubDistrict has no room for
two organizations and there is no
cause for us to imagine that the I'm
tied Mine Workers of America has
out lived its usefulness.
Our organization is and will be
what the membership makes it. We
must not only be dues payers, but
must be active in the work in order
to do our duty toward the Labor Move
ment. What our Organization needs
is our active and true loyalness to
each other AS we review carefully
the present system Of organized cap
ital it strikes us very forcibly that
the workingmans salvation lies alone
in united effort, and practical coop
Grafton.
With deep regret also must inform
the membership of our District
that during the last two years a ques-
ton came under my observation that
has disrupting tendency for our
organization, namely the question of
nationality. In some sections of our
Sub District certain nationalities dis
criminate against other nationalities.
In my opinion this is a very, very dam
gerous policy to practice and must
be discontinued if we expect to gain
the desired results.
Therefore let me urge you to strict
ly comply with the obligation of our
Union. Let us remember always,
that every difficulty of ours is our enc
mys opportunity" To this end, it is
my honest desire that the member
ship will work zealously for the up
building of our organization: (The
United Mine Workers of America).

Bonding Of Local Unions.
We have called the attention of the
Miners OF our Sub-District time and
again to the necessity Of bonding the
Offlc1als of the Local Unions who ham
Ole the finances. While we notice
that some improvement has been
made along this line, there are several
locals which have not yet placed their
Offlcers under bond, and some locals
have lost considerable money by reas-
on of their Officers absconding with
their funds.
] hope that all Local Unions shall
strictly adhere to Section 10 Of Arti-
Gle 8 OF our District Constitution as
amended by our last District Conven-
ton.

OF all modern inventions that help
the soldier barbed wire may be said
to be one Of the most useful. and no
army will ever again take the field
without wagonloads OF It. No position

wire entanglements, and even out

march, will never let the sun set with
out first surrounding the post with a
few strands OF wire. The wire is al
most invisible in daylight. and at night
1t is impossible to know where to ex-
pect it. A few old tin cans hung on
the wire answer the purpose of an
alarm. warning the defenders OF the
presence Of an enemy; and once q SOL

Chas. T. T0oraen, Jr, Louisiana Boy,
Captured by the Germans.

Mr.. M. E. Tooraen, proprietor
of the Dixie Pharmacy, hands US
a news clipping from the Times
Picayune of Dec. 6. giving an in
teresting account of his brother,
who was on. a vessel captured by
a German cruiser. A short re-
sumo of the story is as follows:
Chas. T. Tooraen, Jr.. a gradu-
ate IF the L. S. u, was pas
senger on the British steamship
Vandyck, captured off the coast
Of Brazil on Oct. &c by the Ger
man cruizer Karlsruhe, and was
held a prisoner for several days.
Young Tooraen is a chemist. and
had been in Brazil taking" a
sugar crop for a New York firm.
Mr.. Tooraen, who recently ar
rived in New Orleans, says that
not a passenger was searched.
The German officers took charge
the ships cabin, and compelled
the officers and crew to sign an
agreement that they would not
take up arms against Germany
during this war. and soon the
ship was steaming along in the
wake of the war vessel, under
orders. 1t was not long before
they came up with a fleet of five
ships the Karlsruhe hadcaptured
the week before.
To make a long and interesting
story short, the passengers were
finally allowed to land at Para,
Brazil, from whence young Too
raen made his way home. He
says the German officers all spoke
English, and treated everybody
very nicely. Their ship was a
fast sailer of q knots an hour,
and in talking with the officers
and crew all said they would
sink their ship and go down with
1ser rather than surrender to the
English.

One View u Ibssn.

Ibsen appears In new light In one
Of the letters of Madame de Heger-
mann-Lindencrone that appeared re-
Gently in Harper's Magazine. She first
met him at Supper ,given by the
king of Sweden, and. as appears, was
not favorably impressed by the IA
nous dramatist.
The celebrated Ibsen honored this
feast with his presence" she says,
"and especially honored the Chfanti
and Genzano wines, which were served
copiously. When you see Ibsen, with
his lion face and tangled hair, for the
first time, you are fascinated by him.
knowing what genius he is. but
when You talk with him, and feel his
critical. piercing eyes looking at you
from under hts bushy brows, and see
his cruel, satirical smile, you are q
little prejudiced against him. When
we met him often at our friend Ross
studio at afternoon teas, where there
is always little music. Ibsen sat sui.
len, silent and Indifferent. He does
not like music, and does not disguise
his dislike. This is not, as you may
imagine. inspiring to the performers.
In fact, just to look at him takes all
the life out Of you. He is veritable
wet blanket"

Editor Colfar Chronicle:
We held our first Ward Sunday
School Convention and Rally at
Lincecum. Dec. 5. 1914. This
meeting was to have been held
on the preceding Saturday, but
on account of rain it was post
poned. Nevertheless the citi-
zens of Lincecum did not seem
to be discouraged in the least,
out rallied together and prepared
for the second dinner, which l
am certain was greatly appre-
ciated by the visiting people.
We shall always remember the
hospitality shown by the Lince-
cum citizens on that day. Re-
ligious services were conducted
by Mrs. ]. E. Nugent, ward
president. Two schools. were
present. The meeting was filled
with elevating discussions, some
of which were: ''The Benefits
of Sunday Schools, Z" by Miss
Lula Bailey; How the child
should be graded in Sunday
Schools" by Miss Mary Dupuy;
Relationship of church to Sun
day school," by G. F. Owens.
In addition to the above pro-
gram there were several recita.
tons and quartetts, and reports
from all the schools.
| feel that this day was enjoy
ed by everybody, and they were
filled with new inspiration for
Sunday school work.

New Discovery About Metals.

We have known that some mate
rails are better conductors of cleo
tricity than others, and now Professor
kamerlingh-Onnes OF Leyden has dis
covered that at certain very low tenn
peratures many metals which are con-
ductors of electricity lose every trace
OF resistance to the current and be-
come what he calls ''superconductors .
The finest wires Of tin and lead do not
become heated under the highest cur
rents. 1t is strange that when the
critical temperature is lowered even
slightly the superconductivity ceases
ard the metal behaves as at other Inv
temperatures

Cooperation.
All around you, all the time,
Mr.. Farmer. there are Opportu-
mites for the sort of cooperation
that will pay directly in cash
dollars and cents. Some oppor-
tunities that exist in nearly every
peighborhood and are waiting
for nearly every farmer in the
South are as follows:
ALMOST every month and
every week you buy some kind
of farm supplies it would pay
you to buy in cooperation with
your neighbors.
2-You ought right now to be
selling or storing cotton, tobac-
60, peanuts or apples in coopera-
ton with your neighbors.
3-Having before US not only
the golden opportunity but the
imperative necessity for raising
more livestock in the South. you
should right now join with your
neighbor to get royal-blooded
breeding sires and to join in
marketing animals or meats.
4-Cooperate in the purchase
and use of improved implements
and machinery, and figure out
the money making opportunities
you are missing here.
5-For marketing poultry, but
ter. eggs, fruit, vegetables, etc.,
every farmer should be a men,
Der of some cooperative produce
exchange.
6-Every farmer should have
his house and stock insured in
some mutual insurance company.
Tin every neighborhood there
should be a farmers credit socie-
ty for pooling farmers savings
and lending to one another in a
safe manner.
8-Whenever a new cotton gin,
saw mill, grain mill, creamery,
tobacco prizery, threshing ma
chine, or cottonseed oil mill is
needed in a neighborhood, it
should be owned by the farmers
and run on the cooperative, pa
tronage dividend plan, so that
profits will go back to the farm
ers. The Progressive Farmer.
