Cannot Get Out OF Debt.

Dallas, Tex, April AT the
land hearing by the United States
industrial c a I i rs commission
Prof. Leonard, of the University
of Texas, gave the commission fig
ures from his investigations tend
ing to explain how the creoit sys-
tenn in vogue made it impossible for
tenants to get out of debt on many
farms. He testified that some land
owners CO operate with their ten
ants for the purpose of building uI
good estates and that on such farms
tenants usually are prosperous.
But, he said, there is class oi
land owners who practically com.
pei their tenants to keep moving
to other farms by driving hard bar.
gains, and another class who exact
ruinuous rents. Tenants on these
two clases Of farms seldom gel
enough money ahead to pay cash,
but mortgage their next year 4
crops for living expenses.

Chester Park

Spring is here. What better
harbinger of this could one lcok
for than the presence of rsbin red
breast and the announcement that
Chester Park, Cincinnati's most
pupular summer resort, will throw
open its gates next Sunday, April
4, for the first inspection by the
public ? Thereafter the park will
be open every Sunday for inspec-
tion until the formal opening of
the resort for the season on Satur-
day, May 8.
An army of workmen is massed
at the park bringing harmony out
of cheas into which the park has
been converted in the process of
rehabilitation. The bottom of the
lake has been reconstructed, being
deepened in some places and made
more shallow in others. Innumer-
erable surprises are in store for
Chester patrons, particularly in
Hiiarity Hall, where, in addition
to the many features that caused
delight to thousands, there have
been added the Wiggle- Woggle,
the Poll Moll, The Wedding, the
Golden Twister, Walking-the- Sail
and several other features. An ad-
dition has been built to the Club.
house. Other improvements have
been made throughout the park.

In every Union Local, you will
find members who do not attend
the meetings of their respective
Union through indifference, negli-
gence or carelessness. If they
fully realized the importance of one
of these meeting, they would most
surely make an effort TO attend
more regularly. Just paying their
union dues and assessments are not
the only responsibilities while
members of a union, bat there are
other obligations to be considered,
too numerous to mention, such as
calling on employers of labor and
inducing them to hire only union
labor; visiting the sick members of
the union; calling on storekeepers
and asking their cooperation in
handling union-made goods, etc.
Now all this takes time and the
responsibility invariably falls on
the shoulders of a few loyal and
conscientious members, and this
should not be.
Each member is entitled and re-
ceives the same remuneration, and
therefore should also be willing to
help share the burden and respon-
sibilities connected with such a un-
ion.
Now brothers, wake up, find out
when your union has its next meet
ing, attend and assume some of the
obligations which you promised to
do when you joined the union, for
yeu know, in Unisn There is
Strength.

GERMANS FILE AN
OFFICIAL PROTEST
ASK UNITED STATES TO PRE-.
TO FOE.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 25.-Ger-
many protested to the state depart
ment today through her ambassador,
Count Bernstorff, against shipments
of American hydroaeroplanes to the
European belligerents on the ground
that such air craft are war vessels.
A statement issued by the embassy
today says:
THE Curtiss works at Hammonds-
port, N. Y, have sold and sent to
England the America and five other
hydroaeroplanes of the same type.
Thirty-six hydroaeroplanes of a diff
ferent type have been ordered by
England and are under construction
by the same firm. Also Russia has
ordered vessels from Curtiss for use
in her navy.
There is no doubt, and 1t does not
need any explanation that, from the
standpoint of international law, hydro
aeroplanes have to be considered as
war vessels and that there, by ar
ticle VIII. of the agreement concluded
at The Hague on October 1S, 1907
neutral countries are prohibited from
supplying belligerents with such ves-
sells. The selling of hydroaeroplanes
by the Curtiss works, therefore, con-
stitutes a breach Of neutrality. Hydro
aeroplanes are not especially mention
ed in The Hague agreement for the
simple reason that this kind of war
vessel did not exist at that time"
