What is the use of keeping any ami
NAL which is mediocre as to produc-
tive results? What is the use of
keeping a tree in an orchard which

years keep eighteen peach trees of

never made me a cent until this

We must have something else than
a law and order ticket which Will

companies. 1t will mean Just another
militia campaign whenever there IS

allow the mine operators TO dictate
the terms of all settlements without
an admission that there is anything
to arbitrate. While there is wrong
on the part OF labor the sensible men
and women OF this state wish to give
all men justice-an opportunity to
think for themselves and act for
themselves. This can be done by
placing each side on an equality. This

They have Rooster day" in a To-
cality in Tennessee where they pro-
duce large quantities of poultry and
eggs; the buyers offer few cents
pound on that day for the male
birds. and follow this up with a few
cents dozen for the non-fertile
eggs. The aim is to produce more
unfertile stock because 1t Keeps long
er in storage and because the hens
lay better. The males are then fat

When peaches first came into
bearing in the Palisade section there
we're heavy returns per tree and per
acre, and land values went up RAPIDLY
at the same time, as they we're war
ranted in doing. New owners took
hold and expected just as big results
without understanding the real con-
dition of the industry and no other
result than lighter crops and damage
from other causes. Mr. Anderson is
/ correct in supposing that trees which
l are kept in prime condition and are
hardy Will withstand frost much bet
ter than those which are starving to
death or which have had too much
water on their feet.

If the people are interested in fair
play for both labor and capital they
are going to be compelled to vote
for men who will do something not
at the behest of interested parties
on either side. Government by means
of the military of the state is a shame
and disgrace. There ought to be
in this Christian country enough of
brotherly love to prevent the use of
fire arms in labor disputes. We can
not expect that lot OF foreigners
can show all the loving kindness.
and when they are driven to the wall
by men who pretend to be civilized
they simply fall back on primitive
methods OF force. If we dig into
the situation in the southern eoun-
tries we shall find that there has
been injustice in large chunks for
many years.

Others thought n little higher, but

worth So a hundred for the same

lambs to feed here and get them
