WAGE OF SLIGO INSUFFICIENT

New York-During an investigation
of the Roosevelt, N. J., strike by the
United States commission on indus
trial relations, Antoni Waiter one of
the strikers testified he tried to
support wife and FIVE children on a
wage of$l60 day and failed. Even
with additional money his wife was
able to earn, he said he could not pay
for the bare necessities of life.
A. Barton Hepburn, director Of
the company owning the struck plants
and one Of the trustees Of the
Rockefeller Foundation, said he knew
nothing about the condition of en-
ployes of the chemical company and
he had never visited the plants in
New Jersey, He first learned that
strikers had been shot when he read
it in the newspapers. He then called
up an official of the company and
was told that the men were on strike
FOR more wages and shorter hours"
The official also told him that he be-
lieved the strike would be of short du-
ration, as there were many men look
ing for places the strikers had va
Gated
As stakeholder, the witness said,
he did not consider himself respon7
sible for the conditions at Roosevelt

WON'T CHANGE ELECTION
PLAN
Olympia, Wash.,-The convention
of the State Federation of Labor has
refused, by vote of 102 to 40 to
change its convention system of cleo
ting officials. The report of COM
mittee appointed last year to investi-
gate the question was sustained.
The committee report says:
"In the earlier history of the feder-
alton we experimental with the refer
endum direct as our method of cleo
ton of officers. The plan did not
W ork satisfactorily at that time, and
your committee believes that the con-
dition of the federation at this time is
not different from that existing under
which this direct referendum system
proved unsatisfactory
Unlike international unions, the
federation has no real governing pow
ers Its purpose is more like that of
a committee representing all of the
varied kinds of unions that comprise
its membership, organized almost ex-
clusively for educational, legislative,
organization, and propaganda work.
The election of officers is not the pur-
pose of the federation, but simply in
cidental Having noreal governing
powers, the use of the referendum
system in the machinery of the State
Federation is not essential, except
in the most modified form, for there
is little use toinvoke it except in ex-
cases"

Added Verse to s'Star
Spangled Banner

One OF the interesting features
of the great peace meeting held
in New York, Sunday evening,
September 20, was the singing
of "The Star Spangled Banner"
by the chorus of a thousand
Washington Irving high school
girls. In addition to the song as
written by Francis Scott Key,
they sang the verse which fol-
lows. and which has been sug-
gested by it's author, Kate Deer
eux Blake, former treasurer of
the National Education Associa-
ton, as more ne1rly represent
ing the spirit of our times:
"Oh, say, can you see, you who glory
in war,
All the wounded and dead of the red
battles reaping?
Can you listen unmoved to their agon-
lied groans,
Hear the children who starve, and the
pale widows weeping?
Henceforth let us swear
Bombs shall not burst in air,
Nor wars desolation wreck all that is
fair.
But the Star Spangled Banner, by
workers unfurled,
Shall give hope to the nations and
peace to the world. IN. E. A..

The most famous living Amer
ican soldier, Nelson A. Miles, in
a speech at Philadelphia the 9TH
er day, proposed the abolition of
war as a serious program for
civilized people to unite on. He
is not fatuous enough to expect
to do away with force at this
stage of progress, but advised a
small military force to maintain
order in every country concerned
and a federation of nations to en-
force peace on the seas and on
the frontiers of nations. These
sentiments of General Miles may
be, as some assert, childishly i'm
practicable, but just the same
the large audience of Philadel-
phia's most intelligent people
enthusiastically indorsed them.

Wool Prices Will Be
Higher Yet This Year

Mr.. R. j. Salter. of the firm
of Salter Bros. & Co.. one of
the largest wool brokerage firms
in the east, was in Flagstaff
Monday calling on friends. He
was on his way to Phoenix to
remain a couple months. Mr..
Salter is confident that prices of
wool the coming spring will be
better than ever owing to the
fact that there is an embargo
on Australian wool and a scarcity
of that commodity in this coun-
try, aside from a big demand
for wool by warning nations in
Europe. While prices are not
settled he is confident that it
will be in the neighborhood of
20 cents per pound for average
grades and may run considerable
higher. The wool growers can
stand considerable prosperity
this year to make up the losses
of the past three or four years.

Tells Why There Are
Sights On a Rifle

The average person, if asked
to explain why a rifle is sighted,
would probably be unable to do
so beyond some vague remark
about taking correct aim.
Sights are necessary because
a bullet does not travel in a
straight line, but, under the in
fluence of gravity and friction,
begins to drop almost as soon as
it leaves the muzzle. Thus the
bullet of the army rife drops
six inches in the first 100 yards,
but when it has gone 200 yards
it will have dropped, not twelve
inches, but two feet. The drop
increases by leaps and bounds
with the distance. Were there
no sights on the rifle and you
wanted to hit a mark at 200
yards, you would clearly have to
aim two feet above it.
This would be awkward, for
you lose sight of the object
aimed at, to say nothing of the
difficulty of correctly estimating
at a distance of two feet at 200
yards.
The sights of a rifle enable
you to keep your eye on the
mark, although the muzzle of
the rifle is actually pointing
above it. The moving slide of
the backsight enables you auto
matically to point the muzzle
just SO many feet above the
mark aimed at as is necessary
to counter-act the known drop
of the bullet at various ranges.

Lecturer National Farmers Union
A broad campaign Of publicity on
the subject of rural life is needed in
this state today to bring the problems
of the farmers to the forefront The
city problems are blazoned upon the
front pages of the metropolitan dali
les and echoed in the country press,
but the troubles Of the farmers are
seldom told, except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter of the package Ofttimes OBJ
scures the substance. A searching in
vestigation into the needs Of the
farmers will reveal many Inherent de-
fects in our economic system that can
be easily remedied when properly un-
derstood and illuminated by the pow
er of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are a trinity of powerful In
fuences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy a commanding position in pub
lie affairs. These gigantic agencies are
organized In every rural community
and only await the patronage and CO
operation of the farmers to fully de-
velop their energy and usefulness.
They are local forces working for
the best interests of their respective
communities. Their work Is to build
and their object Is to serve. They
prosper only through the development
and prosperity of the community.
Every farmer In this state should
subscribe for the local paper, as well
as farm periodicals and such other
publications as he may find profitable.
but he should by all means subscribe
for his local paper, and no home
should be without it. The local paper
is part of the community life and the
editor understands the farmers prob
lees. 1t is the local press that will
study the local problems and through
it's columns deal with subjects Of most
vital importance to local life Of the
community.

SAYS THE CALL
HAS COME AT LAST

From Capper's Weekly, Topeka, Kan.
In the factory and on the farm
we must soon be the busiest
people in the world.
A barrel of -four now costs
$3.50 in Kansas. Four weeks
ago it could be bought for $4. go.
The price in New York is $3.50.
This shows what the war is
doing to the price of bread
stuffs, Notwithstanding our phe-
nomenal harvest last year.
Since war was declared 1861
900, 900 bushels of wheat have
been shipped to Europe more
than a million bushels a day.
For one, two or three more
years, more than 374, 900. 900 of
people, representing the popu-
lation of the countries at war,
must look to us chiefly for cloth
ing, for nearly all the manu-
featured necessaries of life. In
flour alone, ON the basis of the
half-ration estimate of the Bel
gian Relief Association, will take
about ffty-three ship loads a
day.
We cannot spare anywhere
near such an enormous quantity.
But we should spare and we
should produce every bushel of
grain, every food, animal and
product, every article Of manu-
facture every mouthful of food
that we can possibly deliver.
These figures on breadstuffs
indicate the enormous demand
the warning nations will make
on us, not simply during the
war, which may last for from
one to three years, but during
several years of reconstruction
after peace is declared, before
the ruin of European agriculture
can be restored and it's farm
population recruited, before its
mills and factories can again be
set going.
We must get busy on the farm,
busy in the factory-busier than
we ever have been.
What will be the effect on
ourselves and our wants here at
home? Prices on food products,
on clothing and on constructive
materials must rise. This is a
good time to buy for future
needs. Probably we can buy
much cheaper now than we
shall be able to buy for years to
come.
The resources of the United
States as a producing nation, the
capacity of it's mills and facto-
ries, are to be tested as they have
never been tested before. We
must do our best to prove our
humanity and our industrial and
business ability. Our call to
work has come.

The Power Of Advertising.


The influence Of advertising is clear
Iy visible in the homes and habits of
the farmers, and the advertising col
umns Of the press are making their
imprint upon the lives of our people.
The farmer possesses the things that
are best advertised.
The farmer is entitled to all the
advantages and deserves all the lux
uries Of life. We need more art, sci.
ence and useful facilities on the
farms, and many homes and farms
are well balanced in this respect, but
the advertiser can render. a service
by teaching the advantages of modern
equipment throughout the columns of
the rural press.

A Noble Task.

In too many instances the country
papers mimic the city press by CIV
ing prominence to scandals, accidents
and political agitation. The new
rural civilization has placed upon the
rural press renewed responsibilities,
and enlarged possibilities for useful
ness. 1t cannot perform it's mission
to agriculture by recording the frail-
ties, the mishaps and inordinate am
bitions of humanity, or by filing it's
columns with the echoes of the strug-
giles of busy streets, or by enchanting
stories of city life which lure our
children from the farm.
It has a higher and nobler task.
Too often the pages of the city dailies
bristle with the struggle of ambitious
men In their wild lust for power, and
many times the flames of personal
conflict scar the tender buds of new
civilization and illuminate the path
way to destruction. The rural press
Is the governing power of public senti-
ment and must hold steadfast to
oA0 hOCp CuO 0AAP Va 6IdC0
In the roadstead Of progress. The
rural press can best serve the inter-
ests of the farmers by applying its
energies to the solution of problems
affecting the local community. It
must stem the mighty life current
that is moving from the farm to the
cities, sweeping before 1t thousand
boys and girls per day. 1t has to deal
with the fundamental problems Of
civilization at their fountain head. Its
mission is to direct growth, teach ef-
fciency and mold the intellectual life
of the country, placing before the pub
lie the daily problems of the farmers
and giving first attention to the leg
islative, cooperative, educational and
social needs of the agricultural classes
within its respective community.

They Have Certified Babies in Chicago

In a small western city a husband
and wife. childless, sought for and
finally adopted, with great satisfaction
a brown-cycd boy and blue-eyed girl
The entrance of the two children
into a home so long silent re-created
the man and woman. They blossomed
again in new youth, and for seven
happy years they gave to both boy and
girl all that any parents could give.
Then suddenly sorrow came. Some
hidden hereditary taint burst out in
both children, and for the succeeding
ten years the life OF the man and
woman was given over to a persistent
but futile battle against fate. Too late
they discovered that the foundations
Of the childreu-physi and mental
were sand; there was nothing what
ever to build character on. So the
whole emotional life Of a man and
woman, which might have been used
to bless a normal boy and girl, was
thrown away because the children
were sub-nOrmal
In Chicago, hereafter. such
tragedy as this need not happen. Each
child offered by the Morals court for
