GIRLS in A STRIKE
New York Artists Models Don't
Like Their Work.
Pose in FurS and MuffS For
Christmas Designs.

New York, Aug 17.-New York is
threatened with a new strike.
Just as the great street car tieup is
being settled come the news of new
lockout which promises to have even
more wide reaching effects.
Yes. the artists models in New York
are considering a general walkout-
not because of what they are obliged
to take off, but because of what they
are forced to put on.
How would you like to pose all day
in hot studio clad in a heavy winter
suit and smothered in furs? You
wouldn't like it. would you? Yet that
is what the majority of artists models
are forced to do at the present time.
The reason for this unfortunate con-
dition is this. Artists who make the
covers for our popular monthly maya
zines are now at work on their Christ
mas designs Naturally the Christmas
cover of a magazine must reveal a girl
in furs. Consequently it is necessary
for the models to pose in winter at
tire in order to give the artists the
proper effects. This topsy turvy state
of affairs is forced upon the artists
for the reason that they have to dc
their work five and six months in ad-
vance With the result that their poor
models have to suffer.
Unless our working conditions are
remedfed very soon we shall have to
call a general strike and tie up every
studio in New York" said Miss Made
line Elliott, walking delegate of the
Artist Models union, Local No 1 I'VE
simply cannot continue to pose in furs
these hot days And in winter oul
condition is equally annoying, al
though reversed. I think the editors OF
magazines ought to plan their covers
a year instead of six months in adj
vance That would make our work
seasonable, If nothing else

Scott City. Kan, Aug. III. ".
Chapman of Scott City. has made a
success of raising potatoes here this
year in spite of the unfavorable sea-
son. His yield averaged a little better
than ninety bushels per acre, and he
sold the crop out of the field at $40
per bushel, making a gross income of
S126. The cost of seed, about $40 per
acre. was the big item of expense.
Adding this to the cost of planting,
cultivating, irrigating and digging.
makes a total expense of about S36.
Deducting the total expense from the
gross income, leaves a profit of $50
per acre. Only one irrigation was re-
quired during the growing season.
