SHOWS WORKERS
NEED FOR union
IN SMALL CITY

Max Salinsky of the Tailors' Union,
said that it was harder to organize the
workmen of town the size of Rich
mond than in larger cities, at the mass
meeting yesterday afternoon. In ex-
PLANTATION he said that the working
men smaller cities purchased homes
on the installment plan, and usually
have large families. Then they are
afraid to organize because of fear of
losing their jobs, which, of course,
means that their home must go.
In reply to this he said that If man
was giving good service he need have
no fear of losing his job. If he organ
ICES he will have more money to pay
for his home and then will have more
time to spend in 1t.
Organization will not lower the cost
of living, he said, but will give laboring
men more money to be able to pay the
higher prices.

Never since the establishment of
the national and International labor
organizations has an official been
charged with misappropriating funds
entrusted to him. This was the decla-
ration Of J. Shanessy Of the BARRIERS
Union This is because the entire
organization is sincere and honest in
its work Although the labor unions
have for some time kept paid lobbyists
in Washington. federal investigation
has never revealed anything crooked.
Men without unions are like ships

THE. BODY.

We may point out that alcohol, as
far as the digestive organs are con-
cerned, not only interferes with their
normal digestive functions, but also
destroys their natural powers OF pro-
tecting the body from disease. A per-
son who is suffering from alcoholic
dissipation, mild or severe, is less able
to destroy the microbes Of disease
which may be taken in with the food.
and is. therefore, far more susceptible
to typhoid fever, cholera, and similar
diseases. The vital resistance to both
heat and cold is also diminished, as
we'll as resistance to infection, and the
body is thus disarmed to a large ex-
tent of its natural resistive and Tight
ing forces, and thus becomes a more
easy prey to sickness, disease and
death.-A. B. Olsen, NJ. D., D. P. H.,

Shoots Her Husband
 And Is Exonerated
MARYl AND POLITICIAN MEET 5 DEATH AT HANDS OF
 ANGRY SPOUSE

FREDERICK. Md, Mar, 19.- Mrs. Eloise English shot and killed her husband here today. The shooting was done in the presence of the five-year-old daughter of the couple, five bull lets in all entering the body of the victim of the irate woman.
 Immediately after the shoot ing, Mrs. English was placed under arrest on a murder charge. She was competely eXonerated, however, by the Coroners jury which sat within two hours after the shooting took place. It is thought that the ''unwrit- ten law" which, while not part of the statutes of this state, is customa1ily used here ill cases such as this, had some thing to do with the verdict.
 George English, the dead man, was prominent in local politics. He was the son of former New Jersey congressman.

 MANUF LECTURERS

NEW YORK Mar 19.-That the fighting before Nerdun has been a great benefit to the manufa turerS of munitions in the United States is not to be doubted For durina every one of the big artillery bat ties which have materialized, orders for munitions of various kinds par ticularly shells, have been received here. It is estimated that fully 100000 shells have been used since the battle before Eerdun started.
 The Bethlehem Steel company re gently received an order from France and England calling for the manufac- ture of 9.000,00O shells of various kinds as quickly as possible Work on their manufacture is now going On, but it is thought that the order cannot be completed within less than two months, as all of the muni- tion factories are already working over time.

Wheat Yield Of The
 Country Increasing

WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 19- Figures compiled and published by the wheat growing bureau of the department of agriculture show an yield of the United States during the year 1915 as compared with 1914. The states of Minnesota and North and South Dakota alone are stated to have produced 38,00O, ,00C bushels, an increase of 10000 000 bushels over the output of 1914.
 The increased production in the states above named is the result Of an increase in the land acreage cultivated for wheat growing pur, poses For many of the farmers of those states, encouraged by the high prices which prevailed during the winter of l914l5, turned prac tically altogether to wheat farming as means of livelihood.
 And then, too, it is stated in the published account that the state named have never had better years for wheat growing III their history It is also predicted that the yield for 1916 will be much smaller, ow ing to the fact that weather condi tions during the present winter have been very ses ere.
