The Great Labor-Saving Device

The greatest labor-savng device is thought. There

there foolish things done that would not be done
at ALL if we had stopped to think. 1t is easier and
better to let your brain do part of your hard work
your tried hands and bodies may get little rest
Close thinking will often time, labor and expense
it will steps, it will cut and shorten the way
it will 60 through around instead of forcing the hard
climb up or over will the momentum gained on the
easy stretches carry you the hard Places it will
take of your mistakes and profit by them: it will
and get somewhere it will supplement the
work of your hands and make that work effective
it will keep you the track; it will help you hew
to the ine it will direct your and hammer that
the blows will count it will give you the range sc
the shots will tell. Intelligent thinking is the lever
that gives you multiplied power You can't make much
Roadway in this old world of ours by just usirg YOU
hands alone The mind is superior to the body, and il
rightly used will your body and enable you
plish much that worth while. Thank about it keeI

KNOCKS OUT LABOR LAWS
Federal Supreme Court Decision At
fects Minnesota Statute.

Under q decision handed down by
the supreme court of the United
States at Washington a labor law OF
Minnesota is held to be unconstitu-
tional. The labor statutes of eleven
states, among them Wisconsin and
Minnesota, are held to be without eff
feet.
The opinion holds that statutes in
many states which make it INSIDE
rzeanor for an employer to require an
elnploye to sign an agreement not to
join a labor union during the term OF
his employment are unconstitutional
because repugnant to the Constitu-
ticn, as depriving a person of his lib
erty without due process of law.
The case was appealed from the
Kansas supreme court, which held the
statute to be valid

ABUSE OF CRAB INDUSTRY.
New Laws to be Put Through Next
Legislature Heavy Loses.

The abuse OF the crab industry is
causing loss of from 100000 to
$50 600 weekly, according 60 packers
in Somerset county. Md, in Accomac
county.Va., and the Eastern and West
ern Shores of Virginia.
Unless some legislation is taken at
the next meeting of the GeneralAssem
bly, of the two states. they state. the
industry will be ruined. The abuse Is
said 10 consist in the catching of the
young crabs from one to five inches IN
length, without giving them a chance
to grow. shed out and become market
able as softs hell crabs
Another bad plan is the dredging Of
the female crabs in winter Both of
these abuses are said to benefit only d
very few persons while iniuring thous-
ands, and making the price of crabs
high throughout the states The sec
ton affected includes Somerset coun-
ty. Accomac county, and the tributa
ries OF the Eastern and Westrn Shores
of Virginia. The packersc lain that
the crab-cooking plants do not dis
criminate at all when they catch crabs
and anything that bites on the trot
line is taken up and thrown into the
barrels, regardless of size.
The general practice heretofore has
been to use only those crabs which
are at least five inches long. These
were called iimmy-crabs. These We're
good for cooking purposes and con
tanned a lot of meat, whereas there is
little in the small crab. The abuse
which started among a few has spread
until large number of the crab-cook
ing plants of the states are now said
to be donig it,
The hard crab industry. at its best.
benefits only few. and the cooking of
crabs in winter benefits approximately
twenty-five persons, while it is hurt
ing thousands more. Formerly crabs
which were caught were sold in guam
tity and brought 80 cents a hundred.
These yielded a large amount of crab
meat. Now the crabs are caught and
thrown into a barrel and sold. They
bring 81 20 Si.25 a barrel. snd the bar
rels often contain from 500 TO 500
crabs, compared with the two hundred
under the old practice.
In order to do away with this the
packers and catchers in Maryland will
seek to put through measures at the
next legislature to eliminate the prac-
tice OF catching young crabs and pro-
hibiting the dredging of female crabs
in winter Virginia, it is said, will
also put through similar measures.

DO YOU FAVOR SUFFRAGE?
YES, SAY rs PER CENT.
Doctors, Lawyes, Merchants, Chiefs
Announce They Are for the Cause.

New York telephone operators had
more than their share Of work in that
city Thursday. Suffrage nj every
shape and form buzzed over the wires
and not a public official or man Of any
Importance was left uncaIled.
Wires stretched from the various
suffrage headquarters TO the Court
House. the county Jail. the hospitals
schools. churches, wherever public OF
icials had secreted themselves, and on
each wire hung an eager and tired suf-
ragist who insisted on knowing what
the party on the other end thought Oh
the great question, if they were going
to vote for it in the fall and il not why
they were not.
Responses were. for the most part,
favorable in fact. Mrs Norman Der
Whitehouse .telephining from her
house. said she had found only two
antis. Only one man anti had the
courage to come out against it strong
ly. Judge Giegerich caid that he was
opposed to it, had always been oppos-
ed to granting the women the fran
chise and always would be.
Il don't approve of suffrage in any
shape or FORM" he reiterated. "No.
don't know why am opposed to it-I
SIMPLY am"
Considering. as Mrs. Whitehouse re-
marked, he was only one man out of a
whole city this response was not so
depressing as ii might have been. Gov
ernor Whitman was inaccessible. but
Mayor Mitchell responded nobly by
saying: Il will will vote for it, but
can make no prediction as to the out
come in city or state"
Even among the favorable there were
few who would forecast victory. but
from all parts OK The city rolled up the
names of those who promised to vote
for it. Miss Ktherine b Davis, City
Commissioner Of Correction, was oblig-
ed to call in her first deputy. J. Bur

vote. and hope to have one after the
