My Little sistesss Adventure in the
 Woods.


 It was very bright morning on the second of June. and my little sister. Pauline, ran away
 We were all excited and went look ing for her as no one seemed to know where she went.
 My father and I went in the woods looking for her. we thought she might have gone with her ether playmate to pick some flowers and ranbIed of very far. So we started and went in the woods We kepf going until we at last heard a. cry.
 And we went to the cry and thers her little playmate sat on a rock crying, for Pauline was fast asleeH and her playmate didn't want to come home without her, so father carried the baby home and warned her never to go in the woods again unless her bigger sister was with her. so that learned her lesson never to go in she deep woods again.

Appies.


 Dear Uncle Jed: Our lesson in Agriculture this week is Apples 7 Orchardins is one of sour most ifn- portart industries and the apple is the most important fruit, It is not difficult to raise apples But to raise good apples we find there are many insects to combat as well as fungus disease.
 Apples should be put on the mar ket in an attractive manner, and they will bring a cash income.
 The most common Scontainer for the sale of apples is the apple barrel Ap- pies should be graded according to size and quality There should be at least three grades, number one, mum Der two, and elders.
 If the fruit Is of high quality it would be well to make still another class, "A 1.''
 Dishonest packing is drawback to the apple industry.
 The Western growers are far in ad- vance of the Eastern in the matter of packing apples. They have stand ardized their grades of apples and orr ganized packing houses. The West ern grower produces large, highly eolored apples while New England produces a better quality.

Workingmen.

Labor unions should not aim solely
at obtaining better working conditions,

Hall. Sth and F streets northeast. by
local lodge No. $50 of the Boilermakers.
Iron Ship Builders and Helpers of
America. Cooperation between capital
and labor was the keynote of the sew
eral addresses of the evening.
That organized labor is opposed to
the modern obsession of bodily speed,
. and believes that the head counts for
something, was the declaration of
Frank Morrison. secretary of the
American Federation of Labor
Among others who spoke were Thorn
as Nolan. international vice president
OF the boilermakers, and John B. Col
poys, secretary of the Central Labor
Union. Mr.. Nolan served as toastmas-
ter.
