OF Harrisburg's stock. Lancaster is
clamoring for league baseball, and in
view of the fact that Eddie Plank
made the first proposition to take an
interest in Lancaster, it is generally
believed he will first consider propo-
sition for revival of the Red Roses.

Eddie Plank's desire to put money

We're not able to confirm the report

red
The reason for the violet light Is that
no red glass made is of sufficiently
pure color TO absorb all the blue and
green waves and no blue glass is suf-
dciently pure to absorb all the red and
orange rays So the red transmits a
certain amount of the blue and green
and the blue transmits a certain
amount of the red and orange Enough
of the blue rays come through the red
glass and enough of the red rays
through the blue glass to make a nice
violet or purple when the glasses are
superimposed.
The Scientific American describes q
simple experiment by which you may
prove the truth Of the theory. Dis
solve red aniline in amyl alcohol and
copper chloride in dilute hydrochloric
acid. The one will give you a trans
parent red liquid that will actually abb
sorb all the rays but the red; the other
Will give you transparent greenish
blue liquid that will absorb all the red
and orange rays. If you mix the two
liquids and shake them up they will
turn black. But they will not stay
mixed and will quickly separate again.

Builds Human Character i.

Like th@ proverbial tree, organ
lied labor is known by its fruits.
It's richest fruits are found in the
quality of human character 1t pro-
produces.
In recent address, Frank P.
Walsh, chairman of the Federal
Commission on Industrial Rela-
tions, opened with these words:
If organized labor did nothing
else than to produce such men and
women as have appeared before our
commission in its tour of the codn-
try it would be the greatest public
benefactor in the world"
Later in his address, Walsh said !;
In our hearings on the trip
across the continent we have had
before us all the great captains of
industry, we have heard all the
great leaders in the labor move
mcnt and the leaders in political
and social philosophy and Of all
the men and women who have ap-
peared before the commission there
have been only two who denied the
essential truths underlying labor
organizations. All others who
testified before the commission ad-
mitted that the labor unions are
benefit to the workers aud to hu-
manity at large.
During our Investigations we
have heard much concerning the
so-called agitator Well, all have
to say about an agitator is this:
An agitator who cries out against
wrong and injustice is a benefacter
to humanity"
No institution in the world has
done more real practical work in
the development of human charac-
ter and the elevation of human o.
ciety than the labor union.

LIBRARY EXPERIENCES.
Queer Requests Made by Persons In
Search of information,

Search of information.
Some notion of the queer requests
made at public libraries is afforded In
an article dealing with the library of
a western city These instances are
given:
Recently a man came in and asked
for some OF the arguments against
woman's suffrage. The proper articles
were sought out. and the librarian
suggested that he might care to look at
those in favor of wonan's suffrage as
we'll. mo matter" he replied wariy;
Il get those from my wife,
The widespread belief that library
can furnish book on any subject, no
matter how vague, Is illustrated by
this request:
II have been asked to write a com
position on what | saw on my way to
school today. Can you give me any
book on it?" Thus boy in the eighth
grade And then there are the high
school boys who. in a period of revolt
from poetry. return the 'Idylls of the
King" and ask If they can't get this

Children about to participate In

following subjects are not easy to give
references on: Which Is Necessarier,

the Pen or the Sword?"
The impression which some persons
have that library can give informa-
ton on any topic is not only odd. but
pleasing. 1t may be set off against the
opposite notion, equally exaggerated.
that library Is of no practical use
whatever. AS sample of the first
idea consider the woman who called
over the telephone the day before
Thanksgiving and asked how to pluck
a turkey. The librarian hunted 1t up
In a cookbook and read 1t to her
over the telephone too. And the one
who asked for brief sketch of the
French revolution over the telephone.
Those who work In the reference
room seem to consider the reference
librarian as bureau of supplies as
well as of information Pencils, paper,
even spectacles, are asked for tenn

APPLYING Cotton Boycott.

Atlanta, Nov. 20. Under the
caption Applying the Boycott to
Cotton Problem, the Journal of La
Dor makes this editorial comment:
Bib county has recently or
gan1zed Bibb County Co opera
tive Association, its purpose to
force the curtailment of the cotton
production for 1915.
All bankers, merchants, ware
housemen, dealers, and professional
men, as we'll as all growers, are eli
gible to mem bership in the Bibb
County Co operative Association.
The significant thing in this
organization is that after securing
a membership each member will be
required, if he abides by the con-
stitution of the proposed organiza-
ton, to trade with other members
of the association, aid in the event
he violates his agreement and
plants more than ten acres of cotton
to the plow he will be expelled and
his credit with the other members
will be DESTROYED
"A county surveyor will pro Dab
ly be chosen to make an official in
spection of the farms of the county
and keep the officers of the associa-
ton in touch with the operations
of the cotton growers.
Ism that applying the boycott?
Isn't that putting into execution
the very thing the labor unions
have reen pilloried, prosecuted
and prosecuted for doing.
1T SO happens that this fact, as
applied to the southern condition,
brings forcibly to attention The fact
that the boycott is the only weapon
the worker has which is potent,
and, as shown, this is the only
weapon which is potent in the con-
ditions sought to be regulated in
the reduction of the cotton acreage.
However, Bibb county thus
proves that the labor unions have
no patent on the application of
the boycott"

sioners allowing this firm another

fore the commissioners that he
would employ union men on the
