Mr.. Cummings Efuses
on the Fair

The following poetry is the out
come of the inspiration with which
Harry Cummings was seized after Wis
iting the exhibits at the Morrow
County Fair. Mr.. Cummings has al
ways been an earnest and consistent
booster for Morrow county soil and
climate. The copy below contains the
introduction used by the author in
reciting the poem to Fair visitors Fri
day afternoon.
Ladies, Gentlemen and Visiting
Friends: The people of Morrow
county have an abundance of those
qualities that bring success. God, in
his wisdom, has given them the eli
mate and the soil. He has also given
them the faculty to get the most from
their opportunities. 1t was deemed
most advisable to hold these county
fairs that all those good people from
Missouri may be shown. In appre-
citation of the splendid efforts of our
people to make this fair a success,
have written some verses, entitled
"Our Morrow County Fair" which
| am permitted to read to you.
Another year has quickly past,
Laughter is ringing in the air,
The people now are coming fast
To attend our county fair.
They are coming in from every way
They will make this fair a great sue.
cess
They have planned and worked and
now today
They are coming in with all the best
OF all the things that they have
grown,
That in this fair they may be shown
There are so many kinds of grain,
And such splendid sheaves of wheat
Although they had but little rain,
These samples can't be beat.
When it comes to corn and cabbage
D. Cox beats all the rest,
And of all the great big squashes,
| Billy Bayless grows the best;
For fine grapes and watermelons,
Susbauer takes the lead
Say, some fellows stole the melon
| bought of him for seed.
George Rand excells in apricots;
His muskmelons are so fine,
George has lot of trouble
To keep them on the vine.
Mrs. Roadruck makes the best pre-
serves,
They are so pleasing to the eye,
You would like 1t II you could
A sample of them try.
French Burroughs grows big apples
Fine pears and peaches too;
1t is treat to anyone,
His fine orchard to 60 through.
Just see those fine big onions,
Gosh, but arn't they great,
Grown here in Morrow county,
They can't beat them in the state.
See those beets and mangle-wurtzels
How the dickens can they grow,
And get such monstrous whoppers,
In time for the county show.
They have peaches that will weigh
pound;
Their flavor can't be beat.
Now just go on and look around,
And your surprise will be complete
Take off your hate to Minor Brothers
They have the best display
|
Placed in a most artistic way.
Say, l must quit or I will mis-
something.

Poet, the fellow that threw the
big bear, John Brown, and
makes the home merchants

Strike Benefits
For Eastern Ohio csaI Miners
While Sympathizing Friends
Have Been Generous.

ST. Clairsville, Ohio, April q
One year ago today 15, ,30l miners
III the eastern Ohio coal field left
the mines because the operators
would not pay them AZ cents a ton
for coal on the run-of mine basis.
Very little work has been done in
the district since that time, and
leaders of the men sal | today that
the end of the strike Is not yet in
sight Federal conciliators sought
basis on which the strike could
be settled, but without success, and
the matter was taken to President
Wilson, but up to the present with
appart ntly no more cheering re-
suits. There has been some desti-
tuition among the miners and their
families, although it was stated to-
day that they had received approx
imately 81, 500, 600 in strike bene-
fits, while donations of clothing
and food from sympathizers in va
rious parts of the country have been
generous There has been little dis
order stree the strike was inau-
gurated.

Gamers Not Satisfied.

Albany, N. Y, April e. New
York state Gamers are not satisfied
with the present law regulating
employment of women and children
in their industry and are asking
that the enactment be repealed.
At hearing before the assembly
labor and industry committee, one
investigator, who worked in the
canneries prior to the passage of
the law complained of, told the
committee that in 1912 the women
worked total of 119 hours per
week in some cases and all over
seventy hours, and that their wages
were but s cents an hour. 1t was
shown that if the law is repealed,
there will be no limit to the hours
worked, and one day rest in seven
will de abolished.

Pass Compensation Bill.

indianapolis, April, 2.-The
governor has signed the State
workmens S compensation bill, pass
ed by 10th houses of the legisla-
ture. The law is optional, it being
held that the state constitution de-
Dars mandatory provision. A
state industrial board is created to
administer the law, which provides
schedules for the payment to bene-
ficiaries for injuries to workers.
Methods of insuring against losses
those employers who desire to come
under the law are also provided.
The legislature refused to ar
range for a constitutional conven-
ton that the states organic law
might be changed. Unionists fa-
vored this proposal.

There is a certain class of people
carrying the Union Card, who have
tentency to buy goods manufac-
tured by union and non union con-
Germs. This ought not to be done.
Each and every member affiliated
with a labor union, should pur-
chase goods bearing the Union
Latel, which are made under the
most sanitary and improved condi-
tions possible.
By buying non union made goods
you are getting in return for your
money that which has been manu-
factured under all kinds of unsan-
itary conditions, and thereby help
ing to throw out of employment
your brother and sister belonging
to a union and possibly yourself.
When asking the clerk in the
store for an article which you wish
to buy, ask for union labeled goods
and if told there is ncne on hand,
but have something just as good,
although it is not union made, in
form the manager of the store that
you are member of unicn and
consequently must purchase goods
bearing the union label, and if he
desires your patronage in the fu-
ture, he should carry Union Made
goods in stock and you and your
friends will most assurdly patronize
him.
There is little doubt but that the
manager or proprietor of the store
will comply with your request. FOR
it means dollars and cents to him
BY doing this yca will live up to
the true principles Of Unionism.
So bear in mind, hereafter, mem
bers of a Labor Union, buy Union
Made goods only.

the workmen's compensation act,
which it recently decided, in di-
vided opinion, to be unconstitu-
tional. The court also refused to
modify its decision SO the law could
be made effective, pending an
amendment by the Legislature,
which convenes the first of next
year. The majority opinion ex
pressed belief that the Legislature
could draw up constitutional law,
but objection was raised to the
present act because of the limit of
amount specified for various dam
ages, the claim being made that
the placing of limit is against the
State Constitution. Compensation
advocates are now conducting an
educational campaign preparatory
to the converting of the next Leg
islature.
An emergency employment act

CONQUERED THE ALPS.
A French and Swiss Military Feat lr
the Fifteenth Century,


There is something ludicrous in the
contrast between the numbering artil-
lery with which Charles VIII of France
crossed the Alps in the summer Of 1894
and the big guns of today that are rap
idly transported by railway from one
point to another Count Louis de La
Tremoille won great favor in the eyes
Of the king by his success in conveying
over the precipitous slopes of the Ap-
PENNIES the train OF fourteen French
cannon, each OF which was usually
drawn by thirty FIVE horses.
When the French commanders were
facing their dilemma the Swiss came
to their rescue. These mercenaries, by
plundering a captured town in viola
ton Of the kings command, had fallen
into disfavor. Being anxious to rein
state themselves in their employers
good graces, they proposed to harness
themselves to the guns and to drag
them over the mountain. The king
promptly accepted their offer
The master gunner, Jean de la
Grange, arranged the technicalities Of
the undertaking, but La Tremoille su-
pervised its execution. And to him was
chiefly due the perfect success of this
enterprise-the transport Of fourteen
enormous cannon over painless and
precipitous mountain in the scorching
July sun.
TO prepare way for the guns, says
Winifred Stenhens in her book 1.-THE

cut down, rocks exploded and the
ground leveled. In all these works
Count Louis personally took part. Clad
only in doublet and hose, he worked in
harness side by side with the Swiss
and with his own hands bore over the
mountains helmets full of heavy can
non balls. All the while. with charac-
teristic French patience and cheerful
ness, he was encouraging the soldiers
by offering rewards to those who should
first drag their gun to the summit and
providing drink with which to quench
the mems parching thirst. Thus en-
couraged by their heroic captain and
inspired by the martial music of trum-

Although the ostrich has powerful
legs and can kick like mule, his
limbs are very brittle and are easily
broken He has two toes on each foot,
one being armed with a horny nail,
which he uses as his principal weapon
of warfare. When an unarmed man is
attacked by one of these birds the
chances are very much against the
man unless he can climb a tree or
jump over five foot wall.

UNION MADE
PAPER.
To the Editor of the BUTLER
COUNTY PRESS.

@0O4Nt 4 4 N&tNotos
Dear Sir:
Will you through the columns
of the PRESS call the attention of
your readers to the fact that they
can now secure almost any of the
better grades of paper bearing tie
Paper Makers Union Label as a
Watermark 2
1t is a curious fact, but neverthe-
less true, that the average union
man or friend of labor believes, or
tries to make himself believe that
SO long as he has his printing done
in a union shop and has the
printers label, that he has fulfilled
his obligation to labsr, Seldom if
ever does he stop to consider
whether or not the paper that the
printing is on was made under fair
or unfair conditions, and many of
our friends are as yet unaware of
the fact that it is possible to secure
paper that is unron made.
The Paper Makers International
Union has had TO overcome many
difficulties to get this paper on the
market and for the past four years
have successfully waged fight
against the enemies of our label
that would be hard to explain here.
On account of this fight it has been
impossible to get deliveries rcmpt-
ly or to secure some of the best
grades bearing the label. This we
believe has now been overcome to
a great extent as the International
Union has opened warehouse of
their own and intend to furnish
the trade such assistance as posi-
bic direct from Albany.
AS to the price of which we
sometimes find complaint, | would
like to explain that generally
speaking it costs more to manufac-
ture this paper than it does some
of the similar grades for the reason
that the men who make this paper
receive fair wages and much shorter
hours than In the non union mills
and the manufacture of the paper
itself is more costly. In order to
put the watermark in the paper the
machine must run much slower
thereby curtailing the production
and adding to the cost of the pro-
duct.
We are doing everything posi-
bic to eliminate excessive prices
and to bring the quality of the pa
per to the standard demanded by
the trade, we have made great
progress along these lines and in
tend to continue.
If all local unions and friends of
labor will demand that their next
printing is done on union made pa
per and continue to patronize our
label it will greatly assist us in our
fight to abolish the old system of
! and II hours day in the paper
trade.
Thanking you in advance for
publishing this article, l remain,
Fraternally yours,
