 Geo. o Light suggested it was proper for the committee to elect committeeman from Collier ant Reynolds townships, created since the election nearly two years ago A vacancy in Breckenridge town ship was also suggested.
 MT. Highfill thought the com mittee should not undertake tt CuOOSe COlunltbScAiCu loi ehO oShh ocrats in those townships.

 w. T. McKelvey, committeeman from Union township, favored Res olution No. l, declaring that i merely sought to keep elections free from this form of corruption He thought no candidate should be allowed to profit by ballots cas | by men who belonged to other DO litical praties, and he believed thu committee should have the express ed right to throw out tickets voted ! by men who are not democrats He moved the adoption of Resolu tion No. l.
 MT. Light moved as a substitute that Resolution No. ? be adopted c. w. Highfill moved that both res olutions be adopted, and this was done, apparently unanimously.
 Some one then raised the ques. tion of the effect of the motion. G T. Breckenridge insisted the action of the committee meant that the substitute motion prevailed. Oth- CTS contended both resolutions were adopted, including the features oi No. 1 to which objection had been made. A motion by Geo. o. Light then prevailed to reconsider the motion by which both resolutions were passed, and this prevailed.
 MT. Light then moved that Reso- lution No be adopted and this motion prevailed.

Unionists Are Not Guilty.

New York, Oct. 29. After a
trial that lasted two weeks, FIVE Of
hcers and members of the Interna
tional Ladies Garment Workers
union were declared not guilty of
murder. Secretary Treasurer Nor
ris Sigman was one of the defen-
darts. The case of two other
members did not 60 to the jury, as
the prosecution asked that these
workers be dismissed. The jury S
verdict marks the complete collapse
of an attack against the garment
workers union.
Lsat spring the employers abro-
gated an agreement with this union
and announced that no more con-
tracts would be signed BY them.
This was followed by the arrest Of
seven active workers on the charge
of murder,
The union replied to these as
saults in a vigorous manner. At
one of the largest protest meetings
held in this city President Gompers
gave this answer 10 the employers
policy:
You can't destroy unions by
breaking agreements. We favor
contracts, but we do not depend
upon them to live. In the fight
for freedom we are goiug to stand
shoulder TO shoulder, not for war,
but for peace. Any assault on our
ranks or on the meanest among us,
will find US ready te fight to main
tain the lives of the toilers of our
country
While preparing to defend their
fellow workers, the unionists
strengthened their lines to meet
the employers reputation of
contract. This activity resulted
in the employers agreeing to arbi
trate the question, which resulted
In wage increases and a declaration
by the arbiters that some system
must be devised whereby claims of
workers that they are unjustly dis
charged may be considered.
The board expressed the follow
ing views on the employers theory
that every man has the right to
run his own business"
No human being is wise enough
10 be able to trust his sole judg-
ment in decisions that affect the
welfare of others; be needs TO be
protected, and, if he is truly wise,
will welcome protection against the
errors to which he is liable in COM
mon with his kind, as we'll as
against the inspirations Of passions
and selfshness. For this reason
tribunal of some kind is necessary
in case either of the parties to this
covenant believes itself to be uu.

Girls Demand Increases.

New York, Oct. 29.-Nearly
10000 girls employed in over 900
dressmaking shops in this city are
demanding wage increases, shorter
hours and better shop conditions.
Most of the work is done under
sweatshop conditions by workers
who receive less than 81 day dur
ing the six months of employment.

Two hours Is all that is holding
off the settlement of the Hooven-
Owens & Rentschler strike. They
granted fifty hour week and the
men have asked for a forty eight
hour week. This is a small matter
and the company should, if it
wants to do a good deed call in
their men and give them the eight
hour day.

Tall Hats Of the Past.

In spite of statements made late
ly to the contrary, tall hats were in
vented long before 1913. A Mr.. Toft
Of Tottenham, who died in 1776, left
ESQ to the governors of the Totem
ham free grammar school, the inter
est of which was to be devoted to the
purchase of three tall hats as prizes
for the three best boys.
The hats used to be purchased from
a halter in Bishopsgate street, named
Greenway, for 24s, but in 1911 he In.
formed the governors that duty OF
Is each had been imposed and the
cost raised to 27s. The duty was
again raised Is each, and In 1913 to rs
Cd. The duty was afterward re-
pealed. but by that time the govern
ors were purchasing Bibles instead Of
hats for the boys.--London Mail.

PRUNING FOR CHERRY TREES
Work Tends to Improve Color Of
Fruit and Adds to Appearance Of
Tree-Trim Every Year.

Many people hold to the theory that
a cherry tree should never be touched
while the other extremists say they
should be pruned as vigorously as ap-
pie trees. The most sensible course
lies between the two.
Pruning the cherry tree does not
have so marked an effect in enlarging
its fruit as 1t does on apple or the
pear, but 1t does tend both to enhance
the color Of the crop as well as to i'm
prove the trees appearance. The
bright, full-sized, well-colored cherries
are the ones that sell and the cherries
that are not too thick on the tree and
not shut out of sunlight by too dense
foliage are those which attain the nee
essary color and size.
Did you never notice that the big,
fine, highly colored cherries are those
on the topmost branches or away out
on the ends Of long limbs, or some
where where the air and the sunshine
get to them? Well, in this there is

Different COW-FEED RULES
No Two Cows With Big Records Ever
Received Same Ratlons-Proper
Balance Is Most Desired.
(By WALTER B. LEUTz.)

(By WALTER b. LEUTZ)
To great extent each COW Is Law
dnto herself so far as the most do
sirable grain for her to receive is con.
cerned, and it is as difficult to give
instructions for feeding cow for high
production as it is to give exact in
structions for driving two-minuts
race horse.
So far as we know no two cows that
have made large records and have
been developed by different men ever
received the same ration, and we
doubt IL any two developed by the
same man have ever received exactly
the same feed. The success Of feed
er depends upon his ability to main
tain proper balance between the
feeds that are rich in carbohydrates
and those that are rich In protein.
Other conditions also have to have
very careful attention, so 1t Is abso-
lutely impossible to lay down any fixed
rules for feeding.
The secret of success Is to large
extent the ability to see trouble be-
fore you are into 1t, and thus be able
to avoid bad results. Good horse
sense and love for the work count for
more than anything else.

something more than mere aggra.
waiting perversity of nature and a dis
position to put the best fruit out Of
reach.
Fine cherries must have air circula-
ton and sunlight. These better re-
suits are to be obtained to a consider
able extent by shaping the tree and
by properl, trimming it every year.
Do not wait Until there are great big
limbs to saw off. Cut out the smaller
branches growing where they are not
wanted. Clean out lot of the little
twigs and branches which will have
and which will only exclude the sun
and air. II
