Labor Unions for Farm Hands
Farm and Preside says:

The American Federation of La bor is now granting charters to un- ions of farm laborers. And Wylie Gillen, fruit packer and grower of Fresno, California, went on record be- fore the Federal Commission on In dustrial Relations as in favor of such unions. I have come to this conclu- sion against my will,' said Mir. Gillen, but 1 realize that only by organiza- tion can farm laborers elevate their standards"

IN THE FARMERS PASTURE.

We are all prone to feel that as
soon as we get out in the woods we
are, free from all restraint, and most
of us take liberties with the proper
ty of farmer that we would not
think Of taking in town. The result
is that unless a farmer has. the pa
tience of q saint. he soon tires of be-
ing imposed uron and closes his
fields and woods to everyone, the
thoughtful suffering with the
thoughtless. II you like to go pic
nicking, hunting or fishing, try to
keep in mind a few little courtesies
that you owe to the host who grants
you entry to his lc-.d, and thus pro-
vide a welcome for the next fellow
that comes. along and for yourself
when you want to come again.
Don't leave gates open.
Don't cut fences.
Don't shoot unless you are abso-
lutely certain that no person or do
nestle animal is within range of
your gun. Don't shoot from public
highways.
Don't leave fires burning; don't
use anything except drift or fallen
wood for fuel.
Don't get hilarious too near a farm
house; the farmer enjoys peace and
quiet in his home just as much as
you do in yours.
Don't leave lot of litter after
your picnic. Try to keep the river
banks and pretty camping places
clean.
Don't appropriate the farmers
boat or wagon or other property
without his permission.
Show the farmer the same courte-
sy that you would expect of a man
who had asked the privilege of
spending the day in your back yard.
and there will be no trouble between
the farmer and the man from town.

GAVE FINE ADDRESS
Memorial Sunday Observed On May
23, With an Address by Rev.
G. s. Lakeland at the Grand
Opera House.

Memorial Day, May 80, came on
Sunday this year, and those in charge
of the usual memorial program de-
cided to hold the exercises on Satur-
day. Rain interferred with the
marching program and that was de-
clared off. The Decorah Merchants
Band came out about ten-thirty and
played several patriotic airs in front
of the Grand opera house, where the
services were held, and the program
published in this parer last week
carried out.
Memorial Sunday has always been
observed in Decorah on the Sunday
preceding Memorial Day. DR.. G. S.
1ackland delivered the sermon at the
Grand this year. His subject was:
"The Greatest Scene in the History
of the Worlds War" A big audi
ence was present and DR.. Lakeland s
sermon was full of Inspiration and
fine thoughts.
The Memorial Day orator this year
was Atty E. w. Cutting, and as
usual he delivered a splendid address
which was listened to attentively by
an audience which we'll filled the
Grand. Below we give Atty. Cut
ting's address in full, which will be
appreciated by all those who were
unable to attend the services Satu--

flowers, keep ever fresh, the men,

During the first years after the
close of the war, the Gus .om was
started without. any fixed day for
its observance. tE'aT a1
May 20th, 1868, three DAYS before

POPULATION SOMEWHAT MIXED

A careful estimate has been made
recently of the proportion of citizens
of foreign birth and descent through
out the United States which proves
of especial interest at the present
time. According to Professor AL
bert B. Faust of Cornell University,
who has made special study of the
subject, the country contained in
1910, 32,243,3S2 people of foreign
birth, or 35 per cent of the entire
white population. OF this number
13,345,545 were foreign born, 12.-
916,311 had been born in America
of foreign-born parents and 5.9S1,-
o26 had one such parent.
According to the statistics large
proportion of the foreign-born popu-
lation, or at least those of foreign
birth, are of German origin. There
are S,2S2,61S Germans and some
4,504,36O of Irish descent and 81
231,952 classified as English, Scotch
and Welsh. Canada contributed q
754,615 to the so-called foreign pop
ulation; Austria-Hungary, 2,701,SS6
Russia, 2,541,649; Italy 2,09S,-
$50, and the Scandinavian group,
including Sweden, Norway and Den
mark, 1,743,37S. All the other
countries totaling some 1,l77, ,092.-

USE THE ROAD DRAG.

There exists a prevailing opinion II,
the minds of those who have used
the King road drag that the persis-
tent use of this simple drag will do
the ordinary earth roads more good
for the amount of time and labor re-
quired than any other method OF
working ever proposed. Some of
the best earth roads have been made
good by the use of this simple i'm
plement. In fact. some advocates of
the drag claim that the trustees OF
many townships could well afford 10
sell the heavy road machines to a
junk man and invest the proceeds In
q number of splitlog drags. Spasmo-
die use of the split-log or similar
drag or the like use OF any road
working implement. will not make
bad roads good. The drag is light
and easily handled and should be
used as soon after each rain as the
condition of the surface will per-
init. The job is quickly finished and
the results are surprising where the
dragging Is carried on throughout
the year. Possibly the most mark
ed improvement from the use Of thu
road drag will result from the early
spring dragging.

DISORDERLY HABITS
Be Careful Where You Sweep and
Throw Bits of Refuse.

There are several persistent hab-
it's on the part of the public, particu-
larly Of many young people, that
tend to keep most towns looking dis
orderly, and there is some evidence
of it in Decorah. N.... s--.a.
The distribution of handbills and
advertising sheets is often done in
a careless way by boys. They will
throw bill on the porch of a. house,
where the first puff of wind blows
it into the street.
Many boys in delivering hand
bills will stuff them into the hands
of passers-by who have no interest
in them and who throw them away
without looking at them.
Young fellows working as store
clerks are often careless in handling
liter. The first duty of the morning
is to sweep out the store, and if they
perform this task before the employ
er gets around, they sometimes think
they can save five minutes of their
precious time and energy by sweep
ing the refuse into the streets.
This newspaper has previously re-
marked on the common habit of
throwing away on the street the pa
per bags in which fruit, candy, pea
nuts, ETC., were purchased. Another
slovenly and offensive trick lis the
habit of tearing up letters and scat
tering the scraps over the walks.
Some one has to pick up these pieces
bit by bit if the street is ever to
look clean.
Probably the only way to get at
this disorderly spirit is in the long
run through the schools. Every
school room ought to have a regular
lesson each spring, and perhaps sew
eral times a year on the public val
ue of neatness. The children should
be told that dirty streets make the
town less attractive to strangers,
make people lesc likely to come here
to live that they depress the. value
of real estate, and thus work against
the prosperity and comfort of every
family.
