Literature being circulated by the Republican National and Congression- al Committees, it now appears, repu- diates the action of scores of Repub- lican Congressmen who voted to enact the progressive labor legislation pass ed by the Democrats under Woodrow Wilson.
 These attacks are directed not only against the Adamson Eight-Hour Law but against other legislation, in cluding the provisions of the Clayton Antitrust Law affecting labor. Such a course upon the part of the political committees officially representing the Congressmen who ballot for these measures again demonstrates that the Old Guard bosses are in full control of the Republican campaign. Hughes participation in the attacks is one of many circumstances that definitely identify him and his candidacy with all that men like Penrose, Shoot, Gal finger. Mann and Fordney stand for.

CREOLE OF BEAVER
 MAKES NEW RECORD.

To begin operatfonsl with a cash outlay of only $200 for tools and equipment and to submit smelter re- receipts in excess of $41,000 is a rec ord seldom achieved by any men who are engaged in mining. save in the re- gions where sensational gold strikes are sometimes made. Nbut this is what has been done by the Creole of Beav- CT county.
 The property was incorporated less than a year ago. a lease was given on a portion of the ground and with less than $20O first cost to the leasers 82 50 ton cars, have been shipped from the property the official returns showing values of $41,303.95. The company has nine claims in the Lincoln district, five of the claims being patented.
 Manager J. M. Reynolds said yes- terday that all the interests have been well taken care of that previous to this date were somewhat divided ow- ing to the company having an option on some of the ground included in the nine claims which are in one group,
 
 original owners. The entire nine claims are now held by the Creole Mining Co.
 The company will start immediately to extract ore from the property and ship as heavy tonnage as can be taken out consistent with good mining. There are several large faces of ore exposed in the Creole that will be mined and developed at once on larger scale.
 There will be no immediate change in the board of directors. and with D. ,H, Ferguson in charge of the Creole as superintendent, the development of this property will be watched with in- terest. A twelve foot face of first class shipping ore is exposed in the incline from the tunnel leve1.-Salt Lake Tribune rf

Of the 124 Republicans of the House present and voting on the law, 70 voted for it.
 Clayton Act Lne-Up
 The literature in question also cir culates a statement by Fess of Ohio assailing the Clayton Antitrust Act, on the ground that 1t exempts labor unions from the operation of the anti trust laws. The Clayton Antitrust Act does nothing of the sort. What 1t does is to declare that the labor of hu- man beings is not a comhodfty Of commerce. The effect is that, if men band themselpes together to act in unison for the protection of their la bor, they are not conspirtng illegally to control, monopolize or restrain trade. Any combination of laboring men to restrain trade in genuine arti- cles of interstate commerce still is within the prohibitions and penalties of the law.
 Here, again, the vote sheds a lot of light The Clayton Antitrust Act passed the House June 5. 1914: Ayes. 221 Democrats, 4 Republicans, 15 Pro- gressives; Noes, 52 Republicans, Pro- gressive, 1 Democrat. It passed the Senate August 5, 1914: Ayes, 43 Dem ocratS, RepuDHcans, FrOgreSSlVe, Noes. 16 Republicans. The Noes" with scarcely an exception were Old Guard, stand-pat Republicans.
 Startling contradictions appear in this Republican press matter. Thus they tell in one paragraph about the injury done the farmer by putting food products on the free list in the Tariff Act, and in the next paragraph tell about the extraordinary high prices of food products all over the United States, including meats, poultry, eggs, butter, milk, vegetables and grain products,

Literature Circulated With Purpose of Discrediting Administration in Effect Criticizes Their Votes on Adamson Bill.
A REAL EIGHT-HOUR LAW
The statement that, the Adams

The statement that, the Adamson law is not an eight-hour law, but a law to increase wages, is false. The law reads in its vital section: Beginning January 1, 1917, eight hours, in contracts for labor shall be deemed a days work" on Inter State Railroads.
 Of course it effects an increase in wages in that the scale for ten hours is made to apply to eight hours work. It is true also that the law has elasticity that makes it possible to adjust it to the condi- tions of railway work. The men may work ten hours, say, one day, and six the next. The effect, how ever will be to introduce the eight hour average.
 Did you. ever hear of an eight hour day being put into effect with a DECREASE of wages accom- panying it? What would have hap pended if that proposition had been applied? There would have been a strike for fair.

Sac Alfalfa WEB Worm.

The alfalfa web worm has appeared
in large numbers In many Kansas
alfalfa fields. Another brood Of these
worms will hatch before winter and
farmers should wage war on them,
or serious damage will be done.

brood of worms and take immediate &C

crop should be cut for hay immediately,
should the worms appear in large num-
bers. This viii compel them to feed on
the shoots near the ground where they
should be killed by means Of a harrow
made Of brush, or by the use Of a
smoothing harrow, into the middle Of
which a piece of old wire fence has been
woven. This will crush many of the
worms if used after the hay crop is re-
moved.
'eThe woras injure the alfalfa by ty.
ing the tops together by means of e

There Is No Danger So Imminent as That
Of Industrial Invasion.
1t is to be hoped that Mexican affairs
will not be permitted to eclipse the one
great vital issue before the people of the
United States in the coming political
contest, and that Republican leaders
will constantly keep before the public
eye the serious danger of an industrial
invasion of this country after the war
in Europe ceases to give US that thor
ough Protection we have enjoyed for
the last two years. The cry of ''Pre-
paredness'' may well be silenced for a
little while at least, as the danger of
armed invasion of this land is very re-
mote indeed, while the proclamation of
peace in Europe would open our mar
kets to the products of other lands, and
to the grave detriment of home indus
tries. There is not even the slightest
hope that the flooding Of our m arkets
with foreign-made goods would reduce
the cost of living, as we have learned
by bitter experience, while there is an
absolute certainty that every million
dollars worth of foreign goods sold
! here, means that the American work
! ing people have lost employment to
/ that extent.
/ The great manufacturing nations of
/ Europe are swamped with debts of

of much anxiety if they find an Amer
lean government willing to admit theil
manufactured products into this coun-
try, competing with American indus
tries to the inevitable end that wages

The Tariff is the great vital question
to the American people just now. Will

For Resi- Camn at GoodIand

Mayor Kelly has a plan whereby
tourists will have a clean comfortable
camping ground next year. He owns
several blocks just where the auto
trails enter Goodland near the rail
road. He will plant the grounds to
trees next spring, build a gasoline and
supply station, erect a comfortable
resting depot with a porch entirely
around it, lay the grounds off into
camping plots with nice gravel walks,
and water for drinking and radiator
purposes and put up a few tents for
use of tourists. He figures that the
average traveller is willing to pay a
reasonable sum for a good camping
ground and that some VIII be willing
to pay for 2 good clean tent rather
than to erect their own. Toilet facili-
ties will be provided and Goodland will
soon be known as the town where the
weary tourists can find good camping
ground with all his wants supplied

An IceIesa Refrieerator.

An iceless refrigerator or milk cooler,
that will hold the temperature inside at
so degrees above zero, on a dry, hot
day, has been perfected by the depart
ment of agriculture. 1t IS merely a
wooden frame covered with canton
flannel or similar material. On top of
the frame is a pan in which water is
kept. Cloths of canton flannel extend
over the sides of this pan, and act as
wicks. The water seeps down these
cloths and along the sides of the case,
thus cooling the interior. It is the
evaporation of the water on the sides
that lowers the temperature.
The frame is 81 feet high, II inches
wide, and Is inches deep. 1t is well to
screen the frame before putting on the
covering, although that is not neces-
sary. It is good plan to paint the
frame and shelves white, allow them to
dry, then enamel in white The cover
ing of flannel is cut to the proper meas
ure and put on the frame with hooks
and eyes such as are used on buggy or
motor car curtains. Two double strips
of cloth half the width of each side,
should be sewed on the top edge of each
side covering. These are long enough
so that they will extend over the sides
of the pan and into the water for two
or three inches. The smooth side OF
the flannel covering should be out A
biscuit pan may be set on the top fo1
the water, and if the cooler is to be
used indoors a larger pan should be
placed underneath to catch any drip
