UNEMPLOYED SEEKS TO MARCH.
Floods and Authorities, However,
Bar Way.

Sacramento, CAL, March 10
With the "army" of unemployed en-
route to Washington, D. c., isolated
across the Sacramento river in Yolo
County, while Sacramento and Yolo
Counties settle their dispute as to the
formers right to keep it there, the
prosecution of leaders was begun late
to-day with the arraignment Of 10
men arrested yesterday as vagrants.
The army" occupies a peculiar
position, according to Yolo county
officials, With food water shutting
off a march to the south, west or
north, they have but one direction to
take and that is eastward across the
bridges into Sacramento. The "army"
late to-day voted to march peace
fully through the city on Its way
eastward if the police would permit,
but the Sacramento authorities re-
jected the proposal.
Yolo county officials asked that
the Sacramento guards be removed
from the bridge and the army be al
lowed to cross. This request also
was refused. The Yolo officials then
threatened to start legal proceedings
to enjoin Sacramento from guarding
the bridges, and there the situation
rests. Sacramento deputies again
prepared for a night vigil. William
Ahern, former chief of police, was
put in charge of several hundred
who will establish a patrol system.
At the preliminary hearing "Gen."
James Kelly pleaded not guilty to a
charge of vagrancy before a town
ship justice and demanded a jury
trial; two of his lieutenants made
similar pleas. Their cases will be
called before juries Thursday. Three
sublieutenants also pleaded not gull
ty.
Harris WelnStOck, MEMBER Oh
the United States industrial relations
commission, interviewed Kelley in
Jail today and obtained his views on
labor conditions. He told Kelly a
trip to Washington would be futile
and Kelley finally admitted the jour
ney would avail nothing.
The discovery that Maj" W. A.
Thorne, one of the most active agi-.
tators ID the "army," was not caught
in the police drag net yesterday
caused a furry in police circles to-
day. Thorne has disappeared. The
man arrested for him proved to De
private.

WOMEN AND OUTDOOR WORK.
Healthy Girl Corn Growers Impress
Wholesomeness of Open Air.

There were about 800 girls in the
twentieth century children's crusade
of 1 1,OO5 members that came to Phil
adelphia from the cornfelds Of Ohio,
in fulfllment of the plans of the corn
club of that State to reward the COM
petitive efforts of the ycung agricul-
turist.
The sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks
of these comely maidens gave proof
of the health and strength derived
from their out-of-door labors. One
who saw them recalled the words OF
the celebrated song from "Floro-
DORA" and realized that there were
many more at home like them, to the
credit of the Buckeye State.
These girls were representatives OF
the modern movement that brings
open air employment for women in
creasingly into acceptance and eVi-
dence. The Boy Scouts are paral-
leled by the Campfire Girls, who
learn how to be at home in the woods
and fields like trne votarists OF
Diana. Women are successful as
foresters and landscape gardeners
and farm managers. Such an instl-
tuition as the school of Horticulture
for women at Amber, Pa, gives a
woman practical knowledge that used
to be the monopoly of men.
There is no danger in America that
women working in the fields will be
degraded to the level of beasts OF
burden, as in some foreign countries.
The varied employment OF the market
garden may proftably provide an
agreeable interlude for domestic
cares within doors. Many woman
welcomes the relief of caring for
vegetables and flowers, after attend
ing to the opportunities of a house
hold of lively children. 1t is time
to refute the old superstitution that
a woman's work must be under a
roof and within walls, and that the
orchard and the cornfield are outside
her province. These girls from Ohio
who suddenly invaded Philadelphia's
streets, still tanned with the sun and
wind of honest toll, have discovered
that it is fun to hoe and to dig, as
we'll as to play golf or tennis, and
the girl who keeps her pallid beauty
from the sun and will not soil her
delicate fingers with Mother Earth
is type they heartily and honestly
despise.

1T has long been a matter OF COM

"DEWELL" OR LUNCHEON.
Communication Read in the House
by Representative Lever.

The Following is taken from the
Washington POST
A letter which carried the hint OF
a possible "dewell" was read aloud in
the house of representatives yester-
day afternoon by Representative A.
F. l.. Lever, chairman of the agricul-
tural committee.
ION Tuesday morning, March g.
the writer states, II had the uncon-
scious privilege of breakfasting with
you, neither of US at the time being
aware of the fact.
What the Writer Heard.
Later in the day, upon casually
straying into the house of represen-
tatives, 1 was somewhat astonished
to hear resounding through the room
your words, repeating some of mine
uttered, however, thoughtlessly:
cat breakfast this morning hap
pened to overhear remark made by
one of those two-by-four know-it-alls
which set me thinking. 1t was this:
"No class of people can get any
money from the government except
the farmer and the criminal" Con-
tinuing he said: do you know that
there are appropriated every year fol
the farmers of this country" etc.
"I commend, sir, to your attention,
the coincidence, which allowed you to
hear these words of mine, which how
ever grossly ignorant neverthe'
less set you thinking and my sub
sequent hearing of your own words
of corrective statistics on the floor OF
the house.
81 sincerely thank you for your
remarks on my personal appearance
which is of small Importance, but
they did not coincide with the des-
criptive adjectives in your opening
remarks. May I say that you estl-
mate me wrongly; am 21s by 5%
not by 4.
"In some seriousness, my remarks,
I believe, reflects, at any rate, the
we'll founded opinion Of millions of
my class, that much of the money
appropriated by the congress is vast
ed. The appropriations are increas-
ing and so is the adverse opinion.
We know little of the details of the
disbursements, because few congress
men make speeches as clearly explain
atory as your own, but we do know
of the useless, free seed graft, the
abuse of the franking privilege, and
many other similar extravagances,
and unfortunately these cause more
adverse comment than is Offset by
the real use of certain departments,
as that of agriculture.
Regarded as Amusing"
Il ask your pardon for addressing
you thus, but believe that you may
find the recital of our little coinci-
dence amusing, which it certainly
was to me.
II commend to you again, in real
earnest, the desirability, of catering
somewhat to us 'two-by-fours, for
we are legion in number, and really
show signs of restlessness when we
see you chaps, in congress spending
our money too freely.
Very sincerely, yours.

Very sincerely, yours.

Postscript: Il will be at the Shore
ham until Saturday night, and If you
desire to challenge me to "dewell,' -
or would honor me by lunching with
me, I should be gratifed. I assure
YOU that you would be taking no
more chances than 1.

Mississippi. Nothing was left to re-
munerate him for his honest toll.
Last evening a few were invited to
a musical entertainment at the home
of Mr.. Judson Browning. Mr.. Joe
Lain, Mr.. w. A. Hay, Sr., and Mrs.
Helen Hay performed some exquisite
harmony on the piano, violin, and
bones. This makes beautiful &C
compartment. Mr.. William Hay
uses the bones quite dexterously,
and I believe would add degree Of
entertainment to an opera troupe.
Yesterday the sun shone with
splendor, to-day he has vanished
from mortal sight, and the prospect
for immediate work on the farm is
gloomy. But let us console our
selves with the matchless harmony
in Longfellow's lines:
behind the clouds the sun is still
shining,
Some days must be cold, dark and
dreary."
James Hartzog is the healthiest
"big baby" in town. He positively

This is campaign year with a great
many of our candidates, and l want
to say that it is wise to take the
question of election seriously. we
should not vote against candidate
lust because we might discern in him
petty little objection. and we pre-
judice ourselves against this candl'
date when he might be the best man
for the position. Vote for the man
who has a soul in him, and remove
prejudice from your mind, and take
the election seriously. I am not max
ing a criticism of any OF the lncum'
bents. The people ought to be able
to Judge for what is best for the
commonwealth. And L shall say
Judge a candidate by his past fruits
If he never has been in a public
capacity, Judge him in his private
capacity. Maybe that is the oes
capacity to know him. Government
is a sacred thing, and every voter
should look at it in this manner, ano
always vote conscientiously.

The Everlasting Mule.

The Army and Navy Journal
laments the scarcity of horses that is
due to the falling off of production
in response to the increase of motor
truck transportation. There are al
so fewer mules than there should be,
, and the Army and Navy Journal
observes that insofar as the army is
concerned the mule will always be in
demand. Motor trucks may serve
the column in the rear, but the mule
must be depended upon in the field.
The mule family escutcheon has
the bar sinister across it, but he has
nevertheless occupied secure posi-
ton in society since biblical times,
and nobody knows how much longer.
In the biographical dictionaries his
personal achievements may not be
mentioned, but he is entrenched in
the Encyclopedia Britannica between
Gerardus Johannes Mulder, a great
Dutch chemist, and Elisha Mulford,
an eminent Episcopal minister and
philosopher. This is saying a good
deal for an animal of modest pre-
tentions who is popularity believed
to cherish a heartier regard for the
Afro-American than for others in this
part of the world, and is said never
to give his entire confidence to the
white man as an associate.
In war the mule plays with high
credit the role of Kipling's Gunga
Din. He is bullyragged. He is
blasphemed. He is belabored. But
he is always on hand when needed,
and he is always needed. In peace
he is sportive. His humor is some
times mistaken for spitefulness when
he kicks a well-meaning farmer into
a protracted sojourn at hospital or
sends his soul sky-Winding into the
hereafter with his body not far be-
hind. But when it comes to pulling
a load, uphill or on the level, sub
sisting upon a limited menu, and
starving the veterinarian, he puts 1t
all over his handsomer and more
aristocratic counsin, the horse.
Wherever the footing meets the re-
quirements of an able-bodied goat
the mule can go and is willing to
tote his load" His hide is tough
and weather-proof, and his eXpec-
fancy of life is higher than that OF
thoroughbred.
Electricity relieved the mule of the
task of pulling street cars. Inven-
tive genius has provided an electric
substitute for him on the tow-path
along the Panama canal. The tread
mill is now used chiefly as figure
of speech Where the lay Of the land
is right more or less plowing is done
by tractors. But there is still plenty
of work for the mule to do. 1t is
his proud distinction to cost nearly
as much as a small automobile. He
was perhaps 1000 years old when an
automobile was invented. He is built
on the original model. He has the
same tendency to backire that made
it a risky business to start him when
Alexander set out to cross the Indus,
when Tamerlane crossed the Ganges,
when Hannibal crossed the Alps
when Charles Martel double-crossed
the Moors, when Washington crossed
the Delaware, and when the farmer
boy tried to cross swollen creek in
the last freshet.
Although he is sometimes Internal
the mule is eternal.-Courier-Journ-
al.
