Among the statelier and prOudest
Of the members of Americas flower
family, none excels the large blue flag,
which also wears the name Of blue
iris and fleur-de-lis. Ruskin calls 1t
the flower Of chivalry. which has a
sword for its leaf and lily for Its
heart. Longfellow pronounces 1t "a
flower born In the purple, to Joy and
pleasance." 1t blooms in the wet,
rich marsh and meadow from May to
July and finds its home from New
foundland and Manitoba to Florida
and Arkansas. The flag flower must
look to the insect world entirely for
its propagation, particularly to the
bees ms Its pollen carriers. So 1t puts
forth a flower that is blue tinted, for
its experience has taught it that
bee can be wooed with blue better
than with any other color.

Writes E. B. Ferris ct is
generally conceded that no agri-
cultural county can economically
maintain it's native productive
ness for long periods of time
without the aid of livestock of
some kind. This is due primarily
to the fact that more plant food
is sold from the land where crops
are sold directly than where they
are sold through animals, and
secondarily, to the fact that
proper systems Of rotation, in
GLIDING the growth of restorative
crops, cannot be carried on so
economically without livestock as
with them A good dairy
cow is the most economical pro-
Queer of digestible nutrients for
the animal body of any form of
livestock. In addition to this,
there is sold from the farm in
butter or cream practically on
plant food, which is left on the
farm in the form of manure and
skinned milk, the last of which
can be fed to the next most eco
nomical producer of human food.

HARD TO "COLLECT" THIS BET

A Republican who bet his shirt on
Hughes is having a hard time in Camden
these days avoiding an embarrassing situ-
alton.
The Democrat, on the other hand, is lay
ing" for him and threatens to pull the
shirt off when they next meet, even If II
be on the corner of Broadway and Market
street, for il was agreed in the bet that the
loser should take off his shirt in the street
and hand it to the victor. Friends of the
nair. Thomas Littlehale the Democrat, and
Horace Leedom, the Republican, are so in
terested that they are laying bets them
selves on the outcome of the peculiar situ-
alton.
A crisis was almost reached this morning
when the two did meet on a main street.
The friends gathered around to see the
.6ilIing" The Democrat started to make
good his claim to the shirt when it was dis
covered that Leedom had on two shirts.
IittIehale then refused to accept payment
for the bet. vowing that he would catch
Leedom with only one shirt. Meanwhile
Ieedom continues to wear two shirts.
Much laughter was provoked in tho Cam

Independent Order of Employees,

ing, Refuses to Extend
Eligibility Rule
MEN WILL RENEW FIGHT

READING. Pa, Nov. 14.-Eforts to have
the el gibility clause extended to admit
clerks and signal department employees to
membership precipitated strong debate at
today's sessions OF the annual convention
sof the Independent order OF Railway Em-
ployes, comprising telegraphers and other
attaches of the Reading Railway. I've
proposition was defeated by big vote.
The plan would have made every clerk
in the employ Of the company eligible 60
membership. and in view of the benefits In
wage increases and improved working ,t)n.
ditions II is likely that nearly all OF the
thousands Of clerks now unorganized would
have nocked to the ranks of the order.
Representatives OF the clerks and signal
department employees from many cities were
on hand to plead their cause, but they were
not admitted TO the meeting. They, how.
ever declined TO accept the verdict as final
and remained over to ask again that their
appeal be granted.
A general system OF organization was
mapped out to include every office and di-
vision on the Reading system, and President
| Tatlow, Of Philadelphia, was authorized 10
engage an organizer from within the ranks
for the purpose of going among the men
| and explain ng to them the advantages OF
| the order
It was learned that 9 movement was on

| In this direction would be vigorously fought
