LABOR IN ENGLAND
WINS WAR STRIKE
Want Share Of Big Profits Made
By Greedy Contractors
ll,o0e Menin Clyde Shipyards Gain In
creased Wage: lso;ooo in the Postal
Serfice Have Demanded Raise

English papers Indicate that the
strike movement in Great Britain is
very much larger than the cables have
indicated. At one time IL 900 men were
out in the Clyde shipyards, a large num-
Der of dockers were on strike, and build
ing laborers, and workers in a large
number of other lines also laid down
their tools to compel an increase OF wages
to meet the sky-rocketing of prices.
The entire ship-building industry was
tied up and the men met the pleas of the
politicians to yield their demands for
the good of the nation" by replying
that the contractors were making mil
lions out of the war while the workers
were not only giving up their lives on
the battlefield, but were also seeing
ence point by rapidly increasing prices.
Win Complete Victory.
The strike was purely spontaneous and
the men rejected all efforts of the union
officials to persuade them to go back to
work. The result was complete VIC
tory for the shipyard workers. Weekly
wages were increased 81. Those receiv-
ing pay by the hour obtained an in
crease OF two cents per hour and piece
work wages were lifted 10 per cent
The lockers have been Offered an in
crease of 10 per cent but are standing
out for n further raise. Increases have
also been gained by the building trades,
and many municipalities have passed
measures increasing the wages OF en-
ployes.
The 10000 employees in the postal
service have presented demands for a
general increase of between 81 and
81 % a week, and are threatening ac-
tiou ii their demands are not granted.
This rising of the workers has thrown
the rulers OF England into something
very much like a panic. The Times
very guardedly says, 1T would. in our
opinion. be n great mistake at this Juno
ture to use threatening language to the
men or to talk of strong meausres. If
it becomes necessary to take strong
measures the less said about them be-
forehand the better"
Lord Kitchener. who has been ruling
everything with high hand. is out with

men recognize the need of the nation
and pointing out that the movements of

Lloyd George appeared before the en-
gineers and coupled plea for greater
exertions and patience by the men for
the sake of the country, with veiled hints
OF measures to be taken. He has de-
clared that, If necessary, all factories en-
gagged in producing any goods required
by the armies will be taken over by the
government As this would include

and were being paid higher wages than
the English workers. To the honor of
the American workmen. they went out
with the English and remained out until

DESTROY WHITE FLY
ON TOMATO PLANTS
Department of Agriculture Rec
ommends Fumigation With
Hydrocyanic Gas.

For white fly on tomatoes the -ex-
perts of the department of agriculture
recommend fumigation with hydro
cyanic acid gas. Special care is ne
cessary for the use of this poisonous
gas, however, and in some cases it is
undesirable or impractical. In such
cases an all-night fumigation with a
tobacco extract is recommended. This
should be followed the next day by a
Swinging with whale oil soap or its
equivalent. The best brands of whale
oil soap, used in the proportion of one
to one and one-half ounces per gallon
of water. have been found to destroy
all of the white flies except the eggs.

ture pupae. and from 25 to so per
cent of the adults which escape the
spray by flying from the plants. 1t is
not advisable to syringe tomato plants

avoidable. as Swinging interferes with
pollination and produces a damp at
mosphere which promotes rot. but the
injury by Swinging may be as moth

caused daily by the insects.

MAKE PROFIT WITH
SHEEP ON ANY FARM
Properly Cared For, They Have
Fewer Ailments Than Any
Other Farm Animal.

For the man who has rough or poor
land with short pastures. sheep are
much more profitable than cattle.
On farm of 100 acres or over, 1t
pays much better to sell sheep as nut
ton instead of stock for other people
to fatten.
Sheep should be graded according to
size, putting the prime ones in lot to
be fed by themselves, and If you are
determined to keep the poor ones put
them in different lot and do the
best you can with them. Better sell
them, though.
If your ewes drop their lambs and
these are in need of attention which
their mother cannot give them, dilute
cows milk with about one-third wa
ter.
There is nothing better for sheep
than clover. except possibly alfalfa.
Some farmers say they do not keep
sheep because they are subject to
disease. which is great mistake; be-
cause properly cared for sheep have
fewer ailments than any other farm
animal
NO animal on the farm is an dainty
as the sheep when it comes to drink
ing water. 1t must be clean before the
sheep will touch 1t.
If you have had no experience with
sheep do not buy a ram en- your own

owns sheep to buy it for you. And
don't be stingy in the matter of price.
The big fairs are great object les
sons which the farmer who tries to
keep up with the times cannot AFFORD
to miss.

With new corn the greatest danger
Is in overfeeding Farmers who have
old corn left over who will take the
trouble to mix it with the new. can
feed the new crop to very good ad-
vantage because the green stuff is
greatly relished by the pigs and it
adds to the palatability of the old
corn.
But 1t is a mistake to start hogs on
new corn alone and all well informed
feeders know that It takes more grain
and longer time to make fat hogs from
new than from old corn.
Another thing: 1t is believed by
many hog raisers that heavy feeding
with new corn produces cholera.
While this is not likely. it is almost
certain to produce disturbance OF the
digestive organs and prevent that
steady laying on of fat which is the
aim of all feeders
We all know that corn is the most
fattening feed that can be used but
many OF US have not yet learned that
constant and heavy feeding of this
grain alone produces serious trouble
and does not make as good pork as
when fed judiciously with other kinds
of food.
When a hog is stuffed with corn and
nothing else, he soon becomes over
fattened and his growth stops, simply
because he does not get the proper
material In his food to make bone and
muscle and his fat is piled on small,
weak frame.
A corn-fat hog is also deficient in
rich blood, lacks stamina and is in a

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Observation-Disclosures

No one fails to appreciate the charm
of the lace-trimmed and fluffy night
dresses that make up the mass of
these garments. Always their pro-
ducers are presenting new designs
that captivate the eye with the dainty
combination of ribbons and laces.
But there is another charm which be
longs to the hand-embroidered gown
II is the charm OF elegance az well as
beauty. There is nothing quite equal
to find hand embroidery IN expressing
a refinement of taste. in undergar-
ments and other lingerie.
The needlewoman who can do fine
work can provide herself with lingerie
fit for a queen by virtue OF her needle
craft Or If she wishes to turn her
accomplishment to profit she may be
sure that an appreciative world is
ready to admire-and pay for-expert
needlework. No one should put low
price on first-class hand embroidery
not time alone. but ability to do and
quality OF workmanship are to be con-
sidered in fixing its price.

Gowns of this kind are prettiest
when cut by the simplest patterns In
the example shown here the sleeves
and body are in one; the shape of a
fiaring sleeve is outlined by scallops
embroidered in lines on the body.
They merely add graceful lines and
pleasing workmanship, that is. they
are part of the finish which makes
the hand-embroidered garment elegant
above others.
Lightweight. smoothly woven linen
or the best of fine cotton fabrics are
the materials which it is worth while
to choose when handwork is to be
used in decorating lingerie.

CHICKEN DRIVER is

Not very easy to drive young chick
ems where they don't want to go. "Shoo-

the purpose of driving ducks. as they
