They Urge the People to

PROPOSE COMMISSION
FROM EACH COUNTRY
Messages Apprc wing Plan Being Re-
ceived From All Parts Of Union
by Federation Officers.

Labor leaders of the United States
and Mexico today believed they had
started a popular movement to pre-
vent war between the two nations by
assisting each to understand tho Diff
fculties of the other. The movement
was launched by issuance of a state
rnent signed by officers of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and I'VE rep
resentatives OF organized labor in Mex
leo. urging people of both nations to
make strenuous efforts to prevent war.
The labor men propose that the gov
eminent of each nation appoint "A
commission. to be composed of high
minded citizens, fully representative Of
our nations, to consider differences
that have brought our nations to the
verge of war and to make such recon-
mendations for adjustment as shall
fifty express the highest ideals of the
great rank and file Of the citizenship
Of the world Messages approving the
proposal from local labor leaders in
various parts of the United States, and
other citizens, were received at Amer
lean Federation of Labor headquarters
today.
Text of the Declaration.
The following declaration was ap-
proved and signed by the representa-
tives of the labor movements Of both
countries:
I'VE express our deep qualification in
the consummation of this conference.
which we hope and believe has laid the
basis for better understanding and has
welded ties that shall hind together the
workers of our respective countries.
We are confident that personal con-
ferences of the workers of the United
States and of Mexico will be construc-
tive force in bringing about under
standing necessary for better relations
between our countries and for main
tanning peace founded upon a proper
regard for the rights of all. 1t is our
opinion that this conference should be
followed by another in which the work.
ers of both countries shall be more gen.
orally represented for the purpose Of
agreeing upon plans for maintaining
permanent relations and for the fed
GRAFTON of the labor movements of all
the countries of the two Americas.
In view of present relations between
the United States and Mexico we are of
the opinion that such a general confer
ence is for the present untimely. and we
express the Judgment that the holding
of such conference should be deferred
until later in the year. However, in
SHe event VI al SIHST ScnCy WHICH WOulQ
make a general conference of advan-
tage in averting an international crisis,
such a conference could and should be
called for the earliest time mutually
agreeable. To carry this plan into ef-
feet joint commission shall be chosen.
10 consist of two members from both
labor movements, to remain in Wash
ington until the present crisis is past,
the said joint commission TO have the
power of calling a general conference il
necessary.

Crop Outlook in State Good.

Commissioner of Agriculture has
issued the June Crop Report
fer this State which shows that all
crops with the exception of fruit,
are in splendid conditions, aud the
prospects favorable for bumper
crop this year. The report follows:
The last of June found every
body busy on the farm. The late
corn is scarcely laid by, the early
corn needs cultivation, hay harvest
is on hand and the length of no
day is sufficient for the farmer at
this inc.
Excessive rainfall over a large
area of the State during June has
prevented the proper cultivation of
the crops, and in Consequence the
growth of same is retarded by
weeds and grass. Pastures are in
good condition. This months re-
ports show great contrasts as to
weather and crop conditions from
different sections of the State.
"Threshing is in full sway and
while only part of the wheat has
been threshed, it is estimated that
very small WELD will be the re-
suit. This yield is estimated at 10
bushels per acre. Oats have done
much better and show a yield of 20
bushels per acre; rye is gwen at
IL bushels and barley at Il bushels
per acre as a State average.
Corn is reported as looking well
and with seasonable weather this
crop bids fair to be a good one.
Condition of same is given at 81
per cent.
Tobacco as "A whole is doing
well though some complaint is
made of blight on the plants. The
condition of hurley is given at 81
per cent while dark tobacco shows
at 30 per cent.
"GardeL conditions are good and
the estimate on same is given at o.
per cent. '...'..'..
The condition of live stock is
good. While hog cholera is report
cd as being prevalent in some 10.
calities, no heavy losses have been
sustained, due to the fact that
anti-hog cholera serum is being
more generally used and more
attention is being paid to the
feeding of hogs and the sanitary
conditions surrounding them. The
average conditions Of livestock Is
as follows:
Horses, ~ per cent; cattle,
96 per cent; hogs, 93 per cent, /;
sheep, % per cent. chickens, 90
per cent. turkeys, 81 per cent. ;
ducks 81 per cent.
Conditions of fruits are not
satisfactory with the exception
Of the blackberry crop, which is
said to be the largest in years.
Apples are falling off badly. Con-
dition Of apples is given at II
per cent; peaches, Il per cent.
pears, IS per cent. A.; plums, 1Sper
cent. grapes, 90 per cent aud
black berries 90 per cent"

Travellers among the Sioux indiana
are very much impressed with the
perfect smoothness Of the bore in tasii
pipestems. Popular Science says
Without the use Of 3 tool of any kind
they make q perfect bore in the t@tsa
OF ash trees which they use for musI
|. cal instruments and for pipes. 70
accomplish this end they employ the
larva Of a butterfly which inhabits tha
ash, tree. The Indians remove the
pitch for about three inches from tn
stick they wish to be bored. Into thu
cavity they place one of the larva o.
a brown butterfly, which gradually
eats its way down through the pitt
until the bore is completed. A lttl'
heat applied TO the wood expedite
the work OF the larva. The Indian
consider both the tube made In tht
way and the larva az sacred as thei
idols.

County School Notes.
By sapt. G. G. Elites.

Thirty-three schools in Bon
Homme County we're in session
last week, so far as this Office was
informed. Many moro will open
this week.
Hobert Setter accompanied the
Bon Homme County school exhi-
bit to Huron last week, and assist
ed in putting it up for inspection
at the State Fair this week.
Alfred Benesh' and Henry Heit-
gen are the Bon Honme County
delegates to the Boys Camp at
the State Fair this week, where
they are under the direction of the
State Board of Agriculture.
A few teachers have failed to
send in the Reading Circle enroll
ment blanks. Each teacher in the
county should send in this blank
properly filled out with the official
notice of beginning of school dur
ing the first week of school work.
Districts number 1908 GLIB
and SO have enrolled for new
Courses of Study this year, We
wonder what became of the
courses that were used in those
schools last year.
This weeks notes contain the
writer's "Swan Song, be having
resigned his Office as county supe-
rintendent, and accepted the prin-
cipalshir of the Tabor Public
Schools. The County Commission
ers have appointed Maude E.
Fites to fill the remainder of the
Term.
One of the first Preliminary
Classification blanks to reach this
Office was out of form. Teachers
should remember % iclosely follow
instructions, and list names of pu-
pills in alphabetical order, surname
FIRST. This arrangement saves the
office much time in checking up
the enrolment of each district.
jerome Linka, of Tyndall Pub
lie Schools, gives the following
reasons why Birds Should be
Protected: Birds should be
protected and fed, so they can live
for if we feed them, they repay US
many times more than the cost of
the food. Birds destroy many
thousands Of insects a year. If it
were not for birds, it would not
be anyeuse for man to plant any
thing, for the insects would des
,troyall of the fruits and grains
Birds are fine singers, and their re
turn in the spring tells us of the
coming season. Birds are pretty,
and they build their nests and
raise young, and if we do not des
troy their nests, but build them
rd-houses. they will repay the
farmer.
