SHRINERS PARADE
RIVAL BARNUMS

Atlanta, April 9.-Atlanta streets
will look like a menagerie in May
when the Shriners cut loose. So many
animal mascots are coming that the
local committee doesn't know where
to put them.
Fort Worth, Texas, will bring sever
al fierce panthers, which should be ad-
mirable pets. Several western temples
are to bring bears, bronchoes, and
camels, while at least a dozen ele-
plants are on the bills. The biggest
c:1cus parade ever staged will be moth

III not noticeably reflect the modes
that are in the ascendant for their

at home than to make dresses for the

railroads in the state asking a refund

Judge Van Valkenburgh held that
the questions involved are those
which the state must handle, and no

COUNTRY BUTTER" CAN

HOW TO MAKE AND MARKET IT
TO BEST ADVANTAGE.
BY L. G.. RinkIe, Assistant Professor
of Dairying, University
of Missouri.

Country butter, so called, usually
commands but a very low price on
city markets. 1t is battered off, along
with eggs and ether farm products,
for groceries and table necessities.
This butter generally brings from Z
to 10 cents below the regular retail
price, and then must be exchanged
for goods upon which the groceryman
clears from 10 to rs per cent.

where he can get it with but a few
hours delay.
The best harbors for the pest are
under leaves, weeds, straw, dead grass
and other rubbish in woods, meadows,
pastures, waste lands, along public
roads and railroads. All such places
should be burned over in regions
where the pest caused trouble last
year. Select a dry day when there is
a gentle breeze to carry the flames
along slowly. This work should be
done in the fall, so the winter can fin
ish those not killed by the heat but
deprived of their protection. Late win
ter or very early spring work will also
help.
The chinch bug disease is due to a
small parasite plant which attacks the
pest under favorable conditions and
saps it's vitality. 1t sprouts from
spores in a n somewhat similar
to weeds coming from seeds. The
spores are in all u soils and are
carried over from year to year. The
disease works only when the tempera-
ture, moisture and other conditions
are just right. 1t is probable that the
vigor Of the pest enables it to resist
the disease some years. The disease
works after a warm rain in midsum-
mer during or just after the summer
migration.
Anyone can get the disease by col
lecting a little dirt, a few bugs and a
handful of green wheat or grass and
putting all in a closed fruit jar. In a
week or 10 days the disease will ap-
pear on the bugs. One should not
rely entirely on the disease to do the
work which he can help to do. II the
conditions are proper and the disease
works, well and good, but everything
possible should be done to help ma
ture in its struggle not to exterminate,
but to control this scourge of field
crops.

No other pest in this state can do
so much damage to field crops in as
short a time as the ckinch bug when
it is permitted to work unchecked.
You can expect to find the bugs in
the spring migrating from winter
quarters to the wheat fields. There
they lay their small eggs on clods and
on the stems of plants. These soon
hatch and the Young red and black
bugs begin to suck the sap from the
plants. These will be nearly full
grown when the wheat is cut, if, in
fact, they leave enough to pay to cut.
Then look out! The sap of the wheat
gone, they search for other food.
Grass, corn and other crops suffer.

STATISTICS IN RE
ORGANIZED LABOR
MORE THAN 10000 MEMBERS OF
ORGANIZATIONS IN I'M
FERlAL MISSOURI.
WAGES SHOW SOME INCREASE
Average Daily Wage Is Over So and
Average Number Of Days Worked
Is 3o0-Railroad Men Get
Most Money.

jefferson City.-0rganized labor of
Missouri, consisting OF 1885 men and
1926 women, constituting the mem
bership of S57 unions, during the year
which closed June 80, 1913, drew a
total of $S5, 019, 1855 in wages. This
huge disbursement includes increases
in wages of $1,245,974 paid to union
ICED toilers in excess of the record of
the previous year.
A bureau of labor statistics bulletin
goes further into details as follows:
The average yearly earning Of or
ganized labor, men and m con
sidered together for the year under
consideration, was $929.57 each. The
working year averaged 286 days. The
daily earnings were $S.25A for each
man and woman considered. With
women removed the average yearly
earnings of the men were more, and
also, naturally, the daily wages. En-
gineers, firemen, brakemen and 9TH
ers employed by railroads were at the
head of the organized procession
when it m to both yearly and
daily earnings. Those who had steady
work at these callings put in more
yearly time and their wages consider
ably exceed the daily average. Plas-
terers, plumbers, bricklayers, brick
and stone masons, structural iron
workers, hosting and steam engi-
neers, carpenters, cement workers
and PAYERS, musicians, fathers, also
earn more than the average daily
wages, but the number Of days of ac-
tual work was below 800 a year. The
weather and activity in building cir
Giles has much to do with the steadi-
ness of employment of building trades
workers.
OF the S57 unions in the state, 181,
with a membership of 1928, reported
an increase in wages which, when
averaged, amounted to 3.6 cents an
hour.
The increase in wages was directly
due to the higher cost of living, many
union men finding it impossible to
live comfortably on the wages they
received the year before. AS large as
the increase in wages was, it is not
in keeping with the increase in tho
cost of living during the last 10 years,
when the same is averaged year by
year.
