A Clearing House for Workers.

One of the most interesting features
or the East side of New York, is it's
great labor market, which stands
ready at the beck and call Of who
ever has the price to hire. This fea-
ture is to be found in Seward park.
Whether it be desired to hire brick
layer, tailor, a mason or a plumb
er, paperhanger, painter or decorator,
men skilled or unskilled in these
trades can be quickly garnered upon a
tour Of the park. Sitting on benches
or gathered in groups are men equip
ped with their tools waiting the beck
and call to go to work. Here they
gather almost with the rising sun and
remain in the park until shutdown, I'M
less fortune smiles upon them and
gives them work for a day, week or
month

English Lord Bars Labor Union.

Some months ago branch Of the
Agricultural Laborers' and Rural
Workers union was formed on the
Jilford estate, Ncrthants, and a large
number of laborers became members.
Recently a circular was issued by
the agent of Lord Lilford stating that
no members CT the union would be
employed on the estate. It Is under
stood that about sixty men are af.
fected and that they have been given
a stated time to consider their posi-
ton"
Well attended and orderly meetings,
under the auspices Of the union, held
in the villages on the estate have
passed a resolution emphatically pro-
testing against the action of the 27rd

the inland waters, rivers and canals,
of the German empire. The German
makes the most of everything, himself
included, and he has not overlooked
water transportation as an aid to econ
omic progress and prosperity. The
present industrial greatness of Ger
many, so phenomenally increased in
generation, and yet growing, is built
upon water.
Leads in Use of Waterways.
Germany is not alone among Euro
pean nations in development and util-
lZation Of inland waterways. The Man
chester ship canal, the deepening and
widening of the channels of the Clyde,
the Mersey and the Thames rivers in
Great Britain, making seaports Of
cities far inland, the use of the canals
in the Netherlands, and the millions
expended by the republic of France
each year upon canals and rivers as
public highways-these show the high
value attached in Europe to an asset,
which, through public Indifference and
private railway greed and short-sight-
edness, has in the United States been
abandoned or neglected. Germany,
however, with characteristic painstak-
ing and thrift, has exploited her wa
ter resources to an extent unsurpassed
in other European lands.

ton of means to establish it's indus

professors we're seen the advantages
of a cheap and alternative transporta-
ton system, both for actual use and
for the regulation of freight rates.
What the professors saw they wrote
in the German press. AS a conse-
quence the empire has each year en-
larged, extended and improved it's nat
ural and artificial waterways. The riv-
ers of Germany, Rhine, Weser, Elbe,
Oder, Weichsel, Isar, Main, and others,
are not naturally well adapted to use
for traffic Of a large kind. In a major
ity of cases their banks were soft and
easily washed down by the waves
from large boats, while their beds
were uneven and shallow. The Ger
man problem, with the rivers, was to
deepen their beds and strengthen the
banks. The cheapest transportation is,
obviously, by means of the largest
ship or barge which can travel most
rapidly. Size and speed were sought
in the barges and development Of
the river and canals that would permit
economical and rapid navigation.
The Rhine, the best known river in
Germany-at which the French, it may
be noted in passing, yet look with
longing eyes-affords an example Of
the changing conditions which make
for tomorrow's industrial world. The
ruined castles and the romantic seen
cry which have given to the Rhine it's
prominence among rivers have now
a rival in interest in the strings of
barges which the traveller sees as he
goes on the express steamer up or
down the river between Cologne and
Mayence. In order to make the Rhine
thus continuously disable natural
earthbanks have been, where neces-
sary, replaced by walls of solid ma
sonry, the channel deepened and wild
ened, wharfs built, and at Bingen-
concerning which we all learned in
our schoolboy defamation days -
rocks dangerous to navigation have
been blasted away.
Inland Cities Reached by Water.
What has been done for and with
the Rhine has been done for and with
other rivers. Even the shallowest
streams, mere bitches, have been
made into thoroughfares. Next to
aerial navigation for military pur-
poses, the German finds keen inter-
est akin to sport in the business utili-
cation of the waterways. From Am

Along in 1903 and 1904 when Sam

age he met Jack three times in rapid
succession. each time over the 20

However, Joe is not going to feel as

Easy to Darker
Gray Hair
Without Greasy Drugs-Harmless,
But Darkens So Naturally
No One Can Tell.

When the hair turns gray. streaked
with gray, white or faded, thin or fall
ing, get from any reliable pharmacy a
7-oz. bottle of "Q-Ban." On retiring
rub Q-Ban on your hair and scalp,
like shampoo. The gray disappears,
the hair is beautifully darkened, and
another application or two of Q-Ban
and your hair becomes fluffy, glossy,
luxuriant, and radiant with fair
health Dandruff is gone and the hair
has stopped falling. Q-Ban promotes
the growth of thin or brittle hair.
Your hair is your charm. An applica-
ton or two of Q-Ban will enhance its
beauty thousandfold. Q-Ban is not
sticky or messy-harmless, but de-
lightful to use, and sure to beautifully
darken gray hair. Q-Ban does this so
naturally no one can tell. 1t is an old,
thoroughly tested preparation. You
can't make a mistake in using Q-Ban,
as it does the hair and scalp good at
any time. w. L. Dewoody, Pine Bluff,
will sell you a 7-oz. bottle for SOC.
