through the press and the puDnca-
ton department of the commission
throughout the state and workers in
every trade, ignorant heretofore that
any but themselves suffered, have
learned they are all slaves to the
greed of the employer.
A finding is made by the commits
sion and put into effect. 1t may be,
but usually is not carried out by the
employers. The league shows its
strategic qualities then. Through
out the state it spreads literature to
every factory in the industry that
should be affected by the increased
wage finding, and organizers let the
workers know that what the employ
ers ignore as the finding of a state
commission they will not be able to
ignore when the workers, united, de-
mand such increase.
Mrs. Raymond Robins of Chicago
speaks in that rich contralto voice
that is music alone without the clear
call of hope to the harrassed soul
that is in every message Mrs. Robins
delivers.
She tells of her recent work in the
east, where munitions factories have
sprung up like mushrooms and a sit
uation has developed in which work.
ers in other industries have won
strike after strike because of the
war-bloated financial conditions.
She tells, too, that women are be-
ing forced more and more into fac
tories. Immigrants are no longer en-
tering America-men are leaving it
and women are already called on to
take the places of men. -
"In the state of Maryland children
of II are permitted to work if they
have certificates" she says. There
are a million children Iaboring in ouI
midst. In our talk of preparedness,
had we not better begin with talk of
protection of children?"

Honorable CLAW TaIlman

Clay Tallman, who was called here
from Washington, ID. c., on account
of the death of his father, was a
former student in our school. and a
graduate.
He is now holding down the posi-
ton of United States Land Commits
sioner, having received the appoint
ment from President Wilson.
Mr.. Tallman was an Orleans boy
and went to school to l. l.. Hubbell
when. he taught the district school
in that neighborhood. Clay had a
longing for the west and went to
Nevada, practiced law, became inter-
ested in politics and run for office.
Being a democrat he made it lively
for every republican who was on the
opposite ticket. He was delegate
to the national democratic conven-
ton, which gave the country Wood
row Wilson. When the latter want
ed a western man for the land COM
mission job, Mr.. Tallman was pick
ed for the place. He says he enjoys
Washington life, but like all other Of
flee holders doesn't know how long
it will last as in these days of politi-
cal upheavals the job holders seats
are over a keg of dynamite, so to
speak, which are liable to explode any
day. His many friends here were
pleased to meet him again.

IC. [. STAlEY DISPOSES
OF DAKOTA PROPERTY

Word has been received here by
Willis #. Bricker that his brother-in-
law, Clarence l.. Staley. has sold out
his property in North Dakota.
Mr.. Staley, who was a former Beld-
ing boy and business man of this city,
went to Krem, North Dakota, about
sixteen years ago and secured 800
acres of land near that place for ten
dollars an acre. 1t was wild and
woolly" at that time, with only few
settlers and those mostly foreigners
speaking very broken English. Life
was strenuous one but Mr.. Staley
and his family were game and met the
situation at every turn. Mr.. Staley
declared he would never sell out and
leave there until he could get $500
an acre at least for his holdings. The
fact of his disposing of it at this time
is undoubtedly due to his having got
ten his price from the purchaser.
Besides the land, he had accumulat-
ed large amount of stock and farm
ing machinery which he will dispose of
at auction. Mr.. Staley has not said
where he intends to locate after set
Ting up his business there.

the Best Results.
The typical household operates on
the hit or miss rule Of thumb. Effec-
tiveness is secured either through hap.
by chance or the coincidence of that
rule with some sound principle.
Why is the stove in the kitchen kept
black? The United States bureau of
standards asserts that not one woman
In ten knows. 1t says that the reason
Is that blackened stove is the hottest
Of stoves. A nickel plated stove loses
half of it's capacity for holiness.
Do you want your hot water pipes TO

them bright and shining" says the bu-
reau. A bright pipe loses less heat
than one insulated in thin asbestos.
Pans and pots kept bright stay hot
longer than those not so. An ideal
kettle Is black on the bottom TO take
heat easily and bright on the sides to
keep heat long.
Fuels are too frequently used with
out understanding OF their special fit
nesses for specific purposes. A coal
fire takes half an hour OF coaxing to
proper enthusiasm for frying eggs.
Many furnaces work better on small
than on large coal. which also is more
expensive. The heating surfaces and
the hues of furnaces should be kept
clean. SCOT insulates the source OF

BATTLING LAIN AFTER
Johnny ERTLE'S TITLE

Battling Lain is after Johnny
Ertle's bantamweight title, according
to the latest war bulletins from Man
ager Flynn. Here is his note
Johnny ErtIe, ethe alleged bantam
sbanfamWeight throne by virtue of a,
win on q foul from Kid Williams, has
md a fresh excuse to duck Battling
I'm Of Brooklyn, n. Y, the hardest
hitting bantamweight in the world,
who was and is the only logical con-
tender and the man Ert1e should have
given first chance, when he arrived in
New York, to convince the boxing
public that his win over Williams was
above board.
When drst asked to meet Lain he
detpanded $3.50 with a privilege of 40
per cent. of the gross receipts, which
was accepted by John Weisma intel
with the biggest boxing club in Brook
lyn and second only to Madison Square
Garden, In New York state ErtIe
gave a ttfimsy'' excuse and ran ont.
When approached the second time he
demanded 5000 with privilege Of 40
per cent. When this demand was met
he again ran out His latest demand
of $1,000 guarantee has been posted
the New York American and will be
paid over to him the~niinute he enters
the ring.
Now since coming East, Ertle has
refused to meet any first class ban
tannweight unless he could kill said
bantamwefght or trying to make 116
ringsfde weight, he (Ertleo demanded.
AS a drawing card he has thus far
proved a sshivver'', In New York and
every club who has staged him has
lost money. Why2 The reason is
simple when one looks over the OPP
ponents he has met
Now in regard to the purses he has
drawn for his bouts and the merits Of
ErtIe and Lain as attractions at the
gate. Lain boxed at one club in
Brooklyn and drew 81. 400. while on
the same night Ert1e boxed II blocks
away and drew the enormous sum of
$S44 total house. In any Brooklyn
enga cement he (Ert1eo has never
drawn over $1,000, so when Lain Is
willing to take the percentage and
seen that Lain will lose money. But
he figures on knocking the "Dodger''
out and thereby being rewarded hnan-
| cia1ly.
To show the public that Lain has a
fright to demand a match from Ertle,
| he (Lahn) has boxed every bantam
weight in the country. including Ed

Bavaria Doing Share
To Feed All Germany

Munich, Germany, April 11-Though
her imports Of cattle have dwindIed
away to almost nothing, Bavaria more
than any other German state has done
her share of helping to feed the rest
of Germany by increasing steadily her
experts
Figures just compiled show that du-
ring the month PRIOR TO the war, with
an average monthly import of 1000
head of cattle, Bavaria exported but
1900; increased this to 10000 head
in December 1916; and to 5000 head
in January 1916
Before the war Bavaria imported on
an average million hogs a year, and
now imports none. Yet during all the
months of the conflict she has steadily
supplied her neighboring and allied
states with the ever rarer swine In
addition, she has turned over to the
army on an average $4,000 head of
cattle monthly
Countless oxen have been sent from
Bavaria to other parts of Germany,
notably East Prussia, where they are
urgently needed in place of horses. Ba-
varia too has reduced her annual use
OF butter to three Kilograms per pe~-
son. and thus is able 20 supply part
of the IS Kilograms per person used
annually in North Germany.

GIBRALTAR

The English flag was hoisted over
Gibraltar in 1904, and on April II,
1T13. just 2O3 years ago today, the
famous old stronghold was coded to
England by the treaty OF Utrecht.
Gibraltar is now OF tremendOussst rate-
gle Importance to the Allies. and the
Germans, in their propaganda in
Spain. have held forth the lure of the
reeapture of the great fortress in an
attempt to induce the Spaniards to
espouse the Teutonic cause. The
promontory of Gibraltar and that Of
Ceuta, on the opposite coast OF Africa,
were known to the ancients as the
pillars of Hercules. Gibraltar was
first captured in Til. when it was TAX
en- by a. force of Moors. who named it
after their leader, GebAI Ell Tarik. They
erected Notifications, and held the
rock for nearly six centuries, or until
1909. The Moors captured and held
it again from 1888 to 1852, when they
were finally expelled by Henry ". of
CASTLE. The Spaniards greatly
strengthened the Qualifications, and
Gibraltar was considered i1npregnabIe;
but it was taken by combined Eng
lish and Dutch fleet in 1904. The
Spaniards attempted to rstake ita in
1921, but failed. In 1T79 the French
Joined the Spaniards in an assault on
Gibraltar, and for three years the fort
was sub jected to the most terrific bonn
bardment the world had ever witness
