HIGHER WAGES THROUGHOUT
 COUNTRY

WASHINGTON, April 25. - The government officially announced today that an investigation of the industries of the United States had disclosed the fact that the employers were spending from twenty to sixty per cent more for wages today than they were a year ago. A large part of this increase in wage expenditure is due to the iu- crease in the number of employees, but considerable of it is accounted for also by increased wages, The work CTS are in the best condition finan- cially that they have enjoyed for many years. This fortunate state of affairs is general throughout the whole cOun- try, and is not confined as would be supposed to those workers engaged in the intuition factories, but is common to all classes of labor both skilled and unskilled.

ECCENTRIC mUsHER FROZEN

The Unalakleet correspondent of the Nome Industrial Worker says that a musher from the Yukon passed that place on his way to the Yukon. He did not give his name and never parted from his rifle. What clothing he had, not enough to flag handcar was of British make. The man passed St. Michael up and headed up the Yukon in search of a mythical sister, and dis appeared. News recently received in- dicates that he headed for the kOOsli- buk country, and finally landed at St, Joseph Mission, in Kooloruk. an Es- kimo village on the lower Yukon. The mission tried to induce him to stay, but after he was fitted out with clothes, parke. etc., he started for Ne gus trading station, and froze to death. He was about forty years of age, medium height, slim, with light gray eyes of shifting glance, of sandy complexion, and wore Vandyke beard and moustache.

Crimson Clover--A Wonderful Soil
ImprOyer

Crimson clover is rapidly increasing
in popularity in all sections where it
has been sown. In the Atlantic Coast
region, and particularly throughout
the Southern States. its increased use
is remarkable, as it has been found to
improve the productivity and mechani-
eel condition of our soils to a wonder
full extent. This has been particularly
noticeable in the increased yields of
corn and cotton following a crop of
crimson clover.
In addition to its great value as a
soil-improver, it is used very extern
sively for fall, winter and spring graz
ing, to make the earliest and most
nutritious green food, and also a good
early hay crop. Can be very salts
factorily grazed or cut for hay, and
then the roots and stubble turned un-
der, with considerable improvement
to the land. The majority of our far
mers, however, SOW it and use it most
