good combination Is n dark red stucco

Why are pure bred sheep the best

secure the passage OF a uniform State law
modelled on that of Massachusetts. and de-

The American Federation OF Labor in be-

tor the whole United States is joining move
ment that has been strongly recommended
the harmonization OF State laws
Doubtless, there is much to be said in favor
OF such movement. State laws are often
chaotic in their differences, and the wide di-
vergcnccs are frequently confusing and
sometimes harmful For instance, our won
derful medley OF divorce laws is a scandal
and moral menace. On the whole, how
ever, States should adjust themselves nat
urally to their needs. Any effort to impose
uniform untried system Of laws on them
would result in greater evil than good.
