Morning Grain Letter.

Chicago. May 13.-The heavy rains
of present week have passed into Ohio.
Indiana and Michigan, the downpours
running one to two inches. Southern
Michigan reports general damage.
Excessively low freezing temperatures
have prevailed in Canada The big
rains over central west will give. the
corn crop a good good start News
papers say old crop wheat is being sold
abroad below basis present May wheat
prices. Local feeling on wheat is an
ticipatory of small bulges. but is not
bullish and the morning Liverpool
cable is little discouraging. The re-
sumption of heavy exports by Russia
has Gained the export demand. 1t has
been dull for two days. Locals are I'M
willing to accompany corn on further
advance and believe the only immed-
late bull point is the Tightening up of
the May.
Some talk of oats declining on this
sloppy weather which is figured ideal
for oats, but such declines will make
oats an excellent purchase.
Oats like water. but they have been
irenched by piles of water at one
time.
The strength of Liverpool corn
again illustrates the necessity of larg-
er Argentine corn exports to Europe.
The Chicago cash corn demand has
been small so far this week. Our lat
est wheat reports are good. Hastings.
Neb., 100 per cent. At Mt. Carroll, Ill,

poor oats reports. The condition will

wheat 90. oats so to 65 per cent. West
Ohio, oats so per cent,

The dip in Liverpool prices indi-
Gates an easier wheat market during

LABOR MEET FOR

Plans Are Introduced for DEM

Influence Congress.
GATHERING IN CHICAGO
Socialists Announce That 1000 Unions
VIII Be Asked to Send Dele
gates to Event.

Chicago, Ill, May 13.-Plans for
holding a large demonstration by
workingmen in Washington to impress
upon congress the, need for legisla-
ton in favor of labor were preached
yesterday at the meeting of the So
cialist national comittee at the Hotel
Sherman.
The plans contemplate mighty
protest" against conditions in the min
ing districts of Michigan, West Vir-
ginia, and Colorado.
Adolph Germer of Illinois. one or
the vice presidents of the United Mine
Workers of America and a member
of the socialist national committee,
told of plans for the protest meeting.
He said he intended to enlist in the
cause of the demonstration John P.
White, national president OF the mine
workers; Charles H. Meyer of the
Western Federation of Miners, and
Charles A. Maurer. president of the
Pennsylvania State Federation of la
Dor.
To Ask Delegates.
One thousand unions will be re-
uuested to send delegates to the Wash
ington meeting, and the socialist party
and similar organizations will also
be asked to participate in the affair.
No date for the holding of the meeting
has been fixed.
At the meeting it is planned to dis
cuss the labor conditions in the min
ing districts and to make them the
basis of demands for labor legislation
by congress. II is planned to appoint
committee to wait upon congress
and ask 1t to remedy conditions.
The national committee yesterday
sent back to the committee on resolu-
tons declarations which had been
adopted by the smaller body concern
ing the situation in Colorado. The res
olutions prepared by the committee
failed to mention Governor Ammons,
John d. Rockefeller Jr. and others by
name and were considered too tame.
When they were read there was
storm of protest and bitter attacks
we're made upon the persons who had
been ignored by the committee.
Demands Workers Arm.
During the discussion one delegate
from Tennessee demanded that the
arm themselves.
Let us ask every workingman in
this country to arm himself with a
rifle and 200 rounds of ammunition
he cried.
The resolutions were finally sent
back to the committee for revision and |
will not be reported out until today.
Resolutions adopted last night de- |
clared that there was no excuse for |
army Intervention in Mexico and de- |
nanded that the government take |
steps to bring immediate peace; asked |
the national government to reimburse |
socialists for the destruction of their |
headquarters in Seattle, Wash, by !
drunken sailors and soldiers" and de-
,lared for a free press.

The old Sad Story.

When a plausible, albeit shabby,
stranger approached the thrifty house
wife and offered to install an electric
bell for almost nothing she felt that
1t was her duty to give him the job.
He looked as if he needed it.
Preparations for the work were
hardly under way when the "electri-
clan" approached his employer with
an apologize air.
1--WE been out of work for SO long"
he explained, 'that I'll have to ask you
for an advance to buy some of the ma
terial.''
He needed 35 cents, he said, but she
had no change and gave him half
dollar. He hastened away for the ma
terial. and he never came back.
The thrifty housewife told her hus-
band about it when he came home.
adding:
Il can't see how lost anything. He
left pair of batteries here, or l
shouldn't have trusted him with the
money"
Her husband went out to take look
at the batteries. They were both
burned out. Louisville Times.

PLANS FOR STORING CLOVER
Real Secret Is to Cut It at Proper
Time and Cure It ain the Shade"
az Much as Possible.

Where clover hay is put into the
cock. it is advisable to open up the
cocks and permit them to air short
time before taking them to the stack
or NOW.
II the hay is put into a stack, the
stack should be started upon a bot
tom Of poles. brush, straw, or old hay.
Where 1t is placed directly on the
ground there is bound to be more or
less spoiled hay in the bottom. Clio
yer hay does not shed water, and it
is advisable to top out clover stacks
with father green timothy, prairie, or
slough hay, putting on enough hang
ers to hold the top in place.
There are a few variations in the
methods Of making good clover hay,
but the real secret. no matter what
the method. is to cut it at the proper
time and cure it "in the shade" as
much as possible. being careful to
avoid hasty drying up of the leaves
and overcoming. Properly cured clo-
yer hay will sweat in either the stack
or the NOW. but unless it is unevenly
packed and loose, no alarm need be
felt IL it gets warm.

ERADICATION OF WILD ONIONS
Flowing Up Pasture and cultivatIng
the Soil lie Only Sure Way Of
Destroying the Pest.

The wild onion, very serious pest
in the pastures of many eastern and
middle states, can be eradicated only
by blowing up the pasture and cul-
tivating the land. Where only a
few weeds are growing, each clump
may be uprooted separately.
The wild onion natures in midsum-
mer. At this time it has at it's base a
large soft bulb and several small hard
ones. The soft bulbs terminate short
ly afterwards. while the hard ones re-
main dormant until the following
spring.
BY taking advantage of the habits
Of growth it may be eradicated in cul-
tivated fields. Plow late in autumn
as deep as possible and next spring
begin working the soil early with har-
row and disk. Go over It enough to
prevent any new growth from appear
ing.
Corn. cotton, or similar cultivated
crops are best because in cuItivating
them the top growth Of the onion is
kept down. If the work is well done
the weeds should be entirely eradi-
Gated by the time the corn is laid by.

WHEN WAR IS SILENT
HAS NO soPHIsTRY WITH WHICH
TO CONFRONT WOMAN.
Great as Must Be Acknowledged Are
His Powers Of Deception They
Fall In the Presence Of the
Mother Of the slain.

War sat on high place near the
city named Earth, where all who
passed along the highway called Life
could see him as they went on their
journeys. Among those who took their
eyes from the ground was King When
he saw War he stopped.
who are you that sits beside the
highway of Life?" asked King.
War answered:
'I am Power, and Dominion, and
Pride, am the maker and unmaker
of dynasties. set up and pull down
the rulers of Earth, the great city in
which you dwell BY me wealth and
strength are apportioned, dishonor is
redeemed, right is made plain, and
justice Is DONE"
So King went his way, thinking,
''War is good"
Soon there came Young Man, and
he too asked who War was.
War said:
Il am Adventure and Daring, Bold
ness and Hardihood. bestow renown
and distinction on men. Those who
follow me grow brave of spirit and
hard of body. They learn the happi-
ness that comes from ardent toll, the
joy that is born of struggle. The peo-
pie Of Earth look with greatest favor
on those who enroll themselves in my
record book and reward them with the
first consideration"
Young Man whistled as he followed
the highway called Life, and cried
aloud, "War is noble!"
Next Old Man, weak of sight and
hard Of hearing, peered at War and
said: who are you, up there?"
To Old Man War replied:
Il am Memory and the Thoughts Of
Yesterday. it was who filled your
heart with friends and clothed your
mind with the good memorials of
glorious past. / took from you your
arm. but in its place gave you some
thing far better, the service of a de-
voted friend. By me you were made
poor in pocket, to beg your bread as
you walked the highway called Life,
but in exchange gave you the great
Udy6 I'll YOUR AuduAOOQ ~ NOA4AOAL eAA
sustain you"
Old Mans face was lighted by his
thoughts of the brave days when he
knew War, and as he set one foot be-
fore the other he chuckled, and struck
his thigh with his hand, and mumbled
in his beard: 81 mind now that War
is the great thing"
But then there came on the high
way called Life Woman, who had
borne sons that War had destroyed,
and daughters who had wept upon her
skirts for their husbands that War
had torn from them; Woman, who
had dried the ears Of orphans War
had made and stanched the blood of
wounds that War kad given; Woman,
who had mourned Wars dead, and
starved that War might, eat.
And Woman saw War and asked
him nothing, but fed shrieking away
from him on the highway called Life;
and as Woman fed from him War was
silent. for he had no words to speak

protein day to maintain suitable
milk flow. Such cows have lost their
capacity and cannot possibly make
money for their owner.
The successful dairy farmer must
raise his own cows. If he has herd
Of Jerseys, Guernseys, Holsteins or
Ayrshires he should stick close to the
one breed.
A cross-bred COW is a mistake. You
may ask me if cross-breeding does
not bring increased vigor. 1t does,
but not more than by using bulls from
unrelated families Of the same breed
that possess similar qualities and
types as our own cattle.
Such breeding brings increased Wig
or and prepotency and gives us the
best products. Types must be pre-
served If we maintain a profitable
herd. The only way to maintain type
and prepotencyl is to stick close to
one breed.
Select the breeds best adapted to
the markets that you supply. If you
cannot afford to buy pure-bred stock,
start with your herd as it is and try
to improve it.
Go your length on good bull. II
your cows are deficient in the flow of
milk, buy sire that will make up the
quality. If their milk is deficient in
butterfat, breed from a sire whose
tendency is built up along that line.
Breed from sires that are vigorous
and prepotent. This will give you
the standard for which you are striv-
ing. We want animals possessing
blood. type and prepotency that come
only from systematic breeding.
When we buy pure-bred breeding
bull we are paying the man who bred
him q premium for his education and
brains. to raise the standard of our
own herd.

Many Uses Of BIottInu Paper.

Blotting paper has many other uses
besides the absorption of ink. If
grease is spilled on rug or carpet
cover the spot with piece of plotting
paper and place warm iron, not hot
over the spot. Grease on the wall may
be removed by covering with plotting
paper and pressing with a warm iron.
Fine lace and collars may be quickly
dried by being placed between two
sheets Of blotting paper and covering
with weight. If you are short on
rubber rings when canning, plotting
paper rings will serve just as well as
rubber There are many more uses
for plotting paper which will suggest
