In wages The proposed increase
would come to 25 per cent, accord

Railroads are anticipating genera

So the wheel goes round. The
railroads have asked increased.
rates to meet increased wage scales
In such demands they have the
sympathy of their million employees
The employees seeing rates or earn.

The railroads forced to meet this
demand, go to the Interstate Com

The employees follow up with fur

to cover the roots nicely. and pack

(The following article was writ
ten by w. E. Brown, field manager
Of the 'Elmwood. Select Nursery Of
Paynesville. Mimi, and gives com-
plete Instructions on planting and
caring for evergreens. It is writ-
ten by a man who understands the
business thoroughly, and is pub
lished for the benefit Of the many
in Burke county who purchased
evergreens during the past few
months.)
Most people have the idea that
evergreens are; very hard to make
grow and If some man in the
neighborhood has made them grow
he is put down as a wizard. This
idea is wrong, but there are sew
eral reasons why people think as
above stated, and the best reason
is that many have tried and failed,
and to the most Of us that is proof
enough.
There are several things that
must be done if transplanted ev-
ergreen is going to live. In the
first place the seed must come from
the right place, and it must be
d
say that is going too far. Now to,
far is just right when it comes to
planting evergreens, and as I look
out of my west window and notice
what a jack pine shelter belt is
doing to a northwest blizzard I
find that it is we'll worth being
careful about few little things.
Now that we have good seed, 1t
must be planted right and cared for
right, and when our trees are
ready to dig, box and ship, the
nurseryman must still remember
these little trees are in his care
and it is up, to him to see that
they are cared for right, because
IL he sights his work here. the
evergreens will tell the truth no
matter how he tries to cover 1t up
with wet moss and mud.
4 Now If Mr.. Nurseryman has bee n
honest and done his work well, it
is up to. Mr.. Planter to make them
gr0w,t-and this is not so hard IT.
Just a few little things are care
fully looked after. AS soon as
the trees are received dip their
roots into puddle of mud. This
mud must be. about as thick as
pancake, batter Be very careful
not to get any on the tops, but
soak the roots well. Heel them in
where the sun will not shine or
the tops as tho tops may be sun
scalded, especially if the tops are
compact. Pack the earth well
.around the roots. If it is neces.
sary for to leave them here TO-
more than a couple of days. be
careful they dosnot get dry. When
watering do no get any water on

COUNTY BOARD RE:
jECTS ALL BIDS

At the meeting of the county
board held last Monday afternoon
among the bidders for the county
job printing were B. A. Stefon6wfcz
of the Bowbells Tribune and John
Romine of the North Star Stock
and Poultry farm. Mr.. Romine's
bid was considerably lower than
that of Stefonowicz, and member
of the board inquired where the
printing would be done If John
were given the contract. John re-
piled that he intended starting an
other newspaper in Bowbells. ). This
city is badly in need of another
newspaper, and we all hope i that
John does not change his mind be-
fore starting 1t. He has had con-
siderable experience in writing for
newspapers, having written special
articles for the Bowbells Bulletin
for several weeks before It died,
and during the past few weeks has
been editing the FlaxtOn Times.
We are sure he would do we'll with
his second paper here, and we are
patiently waiting for the first issue.
