EDITOR IL. RUSSELL HERE

J. l.. Russell, former editor of the Tribune, was here from Hale, Mo-, during the past week visiting his parents and greeting old friends.
 As an incident to his trip, Mir. Russell pulled off a little detec- tive stunt that would do credit to some professional. Enroute down here, he struck the trail of an absconding automobile dealer, of Sumner, Mo-, which is near his home, and he ran the gentle man down in Harrison Saturday evening, landed him in the Boone county jail, to claim a handsome little reward.
 The mans name is Ben Little. He is said to be wanted at several places in that part of Missouri, for forgeries aggregating $20, In his detective work, MT. Russell was assisted by his brother Attorney A. J. Russell, of Berryville, who comes in for a division of the reward money.
 J. L. has begun already te wear a sort of a "shoW me" ap- pearance, but he admits that the haunts about his old home towr have a strange fascination fol him. He made record fol hand shaking while here that would have easily distinguished him as a candidate for office.

 He was a member of the penta- costal Church of Nazarenes, and will long be remembered as an earnest worker for his belief. He was a member of the Modern Woodman of America carrying a policy for $1 ,000. He was a man that never overlooked an oppor- tunity to assist in any undertak- ing for the good of the commun- ity or his neighbors, and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. As a husband and father he was always kind and devoted and never ceased in his effort to improve his home surroundings. Pneumonia was the direct cause of his death. He is survived by a wife and seven children who have the sympathy of the entire community. Funera l services were held at the family residence in Maize, Feb. 8th, at 500 p. m. conducted by o. P.

 We are lonely now. There is a vacant seat in our quiet cot tage home. We listen in vain for his coming feet but alas, they will never come, for death has been here and snatched away our brother from our side. It was in the morning of his day when he  so quitely died. We are lonely now, we miss the voice that we will want to hear, our hearts bid us no more rejoice, nor check the falling tears for one we loved has gone to rest, in death his heart is bound, his body is mouldering into dust beneath the quiet mound but the better part has scared up to the heavenly shore where sorrow, sickness nor death shall trouble him no more. Then fare -thee-well, dear brother, unto Jesus you have returned, we will meet you there in heaven nener more to weep and mourn.

of fruit. Tools for pruning pur- poses should be kept in the best possible condition at all times since a much smoother and clean CT cut can be made with 8 sharp tool than with a dull one. The following are about the only tools necessary for first class work: One swivel blade pruning saw, one saw with narrow blade. one pair topping shears and one one pair small hand shears. A tree prunner is also sometimes used for heading back tall trees but it is hard to cut the limbs close with them. "
 Fruiting Habit of Trees. Mr.. Knox insists that it's essential that the man who does the prun- ing should know the fruiting habit of the different kinds of trees. Apples and pears, for instance, are generally borne from terminal buds on short crooked spurs, both leaves and fruit being produced from the same bud. These spurs are found always on two year old or older wood. Peaches are borne directly on wood of the past seasons growth, the buds usually occurring in pairs with a leaf bud between. The buds occur singly quite often on trees mak- ing a very, poor growth. Leaf and fruit buds are always separ- ate.
 Objects of pruning:
 l. To open the trees so the sunlight can color the fruit.
 2. Corrects unde sirable grow ing habits of trees.
 3. Keeps trees low, thus facil- itating spraying, pruning, pick ing, smudging, etc., and lessen, ing sun scalds.
 4. Gives a more vigorous growth to the tree.
 5. More plant food can go to notrish the fruit, hence larger and better fruit.
 6. Keeps diseased and broken limbs out of trees thus lessening disease.
 '. Helps to prevent over bearing, very important feature some years.
 8. Lessens breaking of trees by making them grow strong and stocky.
 Bulletins and specific directions about pruning will be sent free to anyone on application to the Depar tm ent of Horticulture, University. Fayetteville, Ark.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

According to a dispatch from Wash
ington, Rudolph X. Hynicka, Chairman
of the Republican County Committee,
probably will be the next Republican
National Committeeman from Ohio
The message further said:
''lt was indicated here that, if the Gin
cinnat members of the delegation get
squarcly behind Mr.. Flynicka, that he
probably will be elected to succeed Shcr
man Granger without opposition. Mr..
Granger has announced that he does not
wish to succeed himself"
There is manifest feeling in with the
Republican and Democratic delegations
in Congress that Southern Ohio has not
received its fair share of political favorS
at the hands of either party in recent
years.
Representative Nicholas Longworth
will go to Chicago to urge Mr. Hynicka's
selection. 1t is known that Senator
Harding is favorably disposed to the
Cincinnati mans candidacy, and prob
ably will support him.

CHURCHMEN DISCUSS
TRADE UNION ISSUE

Saratoga, \. E.-By a vote of 447 to
2s0 the general conference of the Meth
odst Episcopal Church refused to ia
vor preference to unionists. The reso-
luton, which was approved in commit
tee by vote of 100 to 6, reads in part
as follows
"A sound principle to govern the
church as an employer would appear to
be that, in recognition of the price being
paid by organized labor to improve con-
ditions of industry, on account of its
general contribution to the community
welfare, preference should be shown
to it and every possible endeavor made
to work with it, in so far as the rights
of unorganized men are not infringed
upon"
This resolution was regarded as of
especial Importance because of differ
ences between the Methodist Book Con-
cern and the printing trades.
One of the strongest opponents of
union recognition was Judge Killets of
the United States Federal Court (To-
ledo, Ohio, district. Judge Kilets said
I'VE have heard some platitudes We
continued "'rhe open shop stands for
IlSc, tHlIldllpClS GU Oppol tthlitS " oD-
tain labor and wages for the man who
is qualified. 1t is the symbol, and it
alone is the symbol, of industrial dem
ocracy."
BY vote of 447 to $50 the resolu-
ton was amended by striking out the
preference to unionists" section.
While the advocates of trade union
recognition we're defeated they insist
that they have won a moral victory and
that the vigorous minority will triumph
at the next general conference. Prof.
Harry Ward, Boston University of The
ology, who introduced the resolution,
predicted that his views would be ulti
mately accepted
Rev. II. f. Ward, secretary of the
Methodist Federation of Social Service,
said the discussion on the resolution
clearly showed that delegates were in
favor of the managers of the publish
ing houses of this church adopting some
form Of collective bargaining, and that
while organized labor did not get from
the conference all that a very consider
able portion of the conference thought
it was entitled to, gains have been made.

CLERGYMAN LAUDS UNIONISM.

Grand Rapids, Mch.-''I believe in
the cause OF organized labor We are
confronted today, not with the question
OF labor conditions in Europe, but in
our own country" said Rev Bastian
Smlts, OF Jackson, in an address to the
organized carpenters Of this city
THE organization OF the workers is
fundamental to the growth and prosper
ity OF America" he continued "If la
Dor IS TO come into lis own the workers
must take the same steps which have
been taken by the capitalists. The en-
ployers learned by bitter experience that
they could succeed only by merging
their interests The toilerS are learning
this same lesson.
Labor has the right to organize and
II is at fault when it fails in this re-
gard. ! have no apology to make be-
cause ! belong to labor union feel
that ! am doing a Christian duty and
don't care what others think 1t is an
humanitarian movement, one which
needs the support OF every fair-minded,
Christian man and woman OF America"

Concessions made by the Traction
Company in negotiations with the Street
Car Employees Union in regard to a
new working agreement are not meet
ing with the favor of the men, it is said.
The company. it is announced, has made
a tentative offer of an increase in wages
of one cent an hour. Under the present
contract which expires June 80, the
maximum hourly wage is 27 cents. The
men are asking that it be increased to
33 cents an hour. Similar increases are
asked in the entire scale
I'VE will not accept a maximum hourly
wage of less than 33 cents, and we are
united on that point" said employees.
"The company's offer of maximum
hourly wage of 2S cents is a joke, and
they must think we are bunch of fools
to accept anything like that Our COM
mittee will hold out for what we are
demanding and it will have the backing
OF every man in the organization.
I'VE are not asking for any more and,
most cases, not as much as is being re-
cevcd by motormen and conductors in
other cities. Cleveland pays more and
members OF our craft in Massillon, Ak
ron, Youngstown, Canton and other
cities. smaller than Cincinnati, are re-
ceiving as much and more than we are
asking. Cincinnati is considered a diff
cult city in which to operate cars and we
should at least receive as much pay as
motormen and conductors receive else
where.
"In Cincinnati we have to be in the
service seven years before we receive
the maximum pay and the company does
not seem inclined to reduce the number
of years. We are demanding that we re-
ceve the maximum pay after we have
been in the service three years, the same
as in other Ohio cities.
"'rhe company also is baking on our
demand for a closed shop, but as con-
ferences progress it is getting into a
more receptive mood upon the question.

WORKING AGREEMENT
To Cover Two Years Signed by
5000 Coal Miners.

Cleveland. Ohio.-A working agree
ment to cover a period of two years was
signed recently by members of the Pitts
burg Vein Operators Association and
officials of the coal miners union, rep
rcsentng $1,000 workers. The signing
of the contract concludes five weeks of
deliberations between the two commit
tees.
\ clause relating to the removal OF
stone and slate which falls in the way of
the cutting machine caused delay in the
settlement. The agreement is dated April
I, 1916. and will be in force until March
~, 1918. ]. J. Roby, a member of the
operators committee, said the terms OF
the contract will be given out next week
in Wheeling, w. Va.
The miners and operators have been
negotiating for two months in an effort
to effect settlement. The main diff
Guilty with which they contended was the
arbitration clause in the new agreement.
Miners insisted upon new clause, while
the operators demanded that the clause
in the old agreement be retained.
After a compromise had been arranged
so that all disputes will be arbtrated by
board consisting of three operators and
three union officials, another hitch arose
in the question of pay for the removal
of slate This was not adjusted until a
few days ago, when the new scale was
signed.

and that there is no obligation on us in
return to do more than give little from
our surplus. But there is an active ncu-
trality which will cause Europe to think
OF us when this war is over, not as the
commercial-minded sellers of munitions
and supplies alone, but as the large
hearted, free-handed people who have
cared for the wounded and dying,
clothed and fed the homeless and
hungry, and nursed the helpless victims
OF battle. These are things which by the
law OF nations we are permitted to do,
which by the laws of humanity we are
required to do. These are the things
which will gain us the love of Europe,
rather than its contempt for our com
merciaism.
For too long has business been at
tackled as the source Of all real or imagi-
nary ills, not wholly without cause, it is
true, but still the attacks have been out
of all proportion to the real ills The
unhappy and unsuccessful ages are those
in which the air is full of the importll-
nate cries of reforming sccts and par
ties, all bent upon nventing and apply
ing new rules of human conduct, and all
bent upon distracting the mind and en-
producing those things Of which the
world stands in need.
"If the great national issues that CON
front Americans are to be successfully
met, it can only be by the harmonious
action of all elements in our citizenship
In Europe we have seen all factions, all
classes malgamatcd into great national
machines of warfare, the wonderful cf-
fectiveness of which is apparent to all
the world. Let us, in the same spirit of
harmony and cooperation, reconcile our
differences and combine the forces of
this country for the more efficient man
agement, both of private enterprise and
of the great business of government.
"The world is at an era of change and
readjuStment. Nations and men have
been shaken out Of their accustomed
grooves. Let us see to it that when So
Ciety returns to sanity we shall have
made an advance that we shall not have
failed IN bearing forward the light of
civilization which Europe has for the
time laid down.
"Our future is in our hands, and
whether we shall be content to drift
with the tide of events, or wcthcr we
shall meet the future ready and conf
dent, secure in our own strength, is for
MS to determine The ancient virtues Of
our race are not dead; the spirit of
idealistic devotion to the principles of
liberty and justice in which our fathers
founded this nation still lives to carry
MS forward to better, purcr American
ism than we have ever known
