gotiattns rwfth their employers: The
miners are locked out, the lockout
embracing about $500 men. The shoe
factory employees. the workers in
electrochemical industries, the bakers
all over the country, and the brewery
workers have given notice that their
agreements expire May 1. Those of
the wood pulp and paper workers and
the saving and planning mill hands
expire in September. The deck and
machine hands and the mates of the
coast steamers also are negotiating
for new agreements. The engineers
have agreed to a renewal of the old
contracts with 20 per. cent addition
to their wages. The employers argue
that while some of the industries are
at present prospecting nobody can tell
what the future may have in store
for them. The employers do not
wish to commit themselves to new
three-year contracts providing con-
siderable increases in wages. What
they want is a prolongation of the
present agreements for one year only.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-R0ot, DR.. Kilmer'S Prescfip-
ton, Overcomes Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re-
markable degree and do tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
Itering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
,istance when needed. We take less e.,
.rcise, drink less water and often eat more
4ch, heavy food, thereby forcing the la
7eys to do more work than nature in
tended. Evidence of kidney trouble, such
as lame back, annoying bladder troubles,
smarting or burning, brickdust or sedi-
ment, sallow complexion, rheumatism,
maybe weak or irregular heart action,
warns you that your kidneys require nel2
Immediately to avoid more serious trou-
BILE.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. It
is DIR. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer 4 Co., Binghamton, n Y, for =
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

FINLAND.

A scheme has just been put in op-
GRAFTON by the Russian government
to draw large contribution from Fin
land to help cover the heavy war ex-
penses. The Firms are exempt from
military service in the Russian army
and the Russian government prohibits
the Firms from raising an army on
their own account. The Novoe Vremya
calculates that this extra tax on the
Films will bring Russia about 1873 ,000,-
00) rubles per annum.
The Finnish financiers are working
out a plan for a limited liability com.
pany to in~ugurate direct shipping
route between "Finland and the United
States.
The Bank of Finland lost over S.
100000 in 1915. The loss was due to
the fall Of the value of the ruble. TIE
bank has never run behind a single
year since the year 1916.

Since then the ambition has kept

Just, her aunt, DR.. Gunda Fryden-

for the last two years. For many
years 1t was the practice of the queen,
an Englishwoman by birth, to 20 to
England to have her teeth attended to

Knud Rasmussen, the Danish Arc
tic explorer, cabled the Museum Of
Natural History of New York that
he will start from Copenhagen early
in April to explore the remote region
between Peary Land and Greenland.
He will take messages to Donald M.
Macmillan and his party, icebound in
Etah, Greenland, and to DR.. e. o.
Hovey Of the relief expedition at
North Star bay. off the Greenland
coast. Rasmussen may sail on the
Kap York, one of his ships which has
carried mail from Macmillan, in which
he said the crew of the schooner
Cluett, caught in the ice, was within
easy reach of food.
A widow wished to sell her cottage,
which was located near Randers, and
she made arrangements with a real es-
tate dealer in Randers for disposing
Of it. The real estate man and an
other man drove past the cottage one
day, and the real estate man told that
he had been asked to see If he could
sell it. They agreed to go and look
at it the next day. The would-be buy
er went to the Office of the real estate
man, but he was absent The man
then went to the cottage alone. and he
bought the cottage before leaving the
place. Now the widow refused to
pay the real estate man any fees, and
he sued her. The court not only
cleared the widow, but made the real
estate man pay the costs, which
amounted to SITS.
The Danish bark Claudia has been
sunk. Her crew was rescued. The
Claudia was vessel of 367 tons gross.
She sailed from Jacksonville Febru-

There was great concern on the
Copenhagen stock exchange due to re-
ports that German submarine warfare
had entered on a new phase and that
the torpedoing of neutral shipping
would become more general. There
was a fall of Is per cent in steamship
shares and United Steamship stock
was sold in a larger quantity than any

(From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
The highest prices are paid for
ducks marketed early in the spring,
the price decreasing as the season ad-
vances and the supply becomes more
abundant. The demand for green"
ducks, which is the term used to de-
scribe those grown rapidly and mar
keted when only eight to twelve weeks
old, when they weigh about four and
one-half to six pounds, has been built
up in large cities in the East and on
the Pacific coast. There is very lit
tie demand for such ducks in small
cities and towns. Many farmers mar
ket their ducks in the fall as spring
ducks at a lower price per bird than
is received for green ducks in the
spring.
Ducks may be dressed by dry pick
ing, by scalding, or by steaming. Their
condition is best judged by the amount
Of flesh on their backs. The methods
used in dry picking poultry are also
used with ducks, although the latter
are harder to pick. The ducks are gen.
orally killed by sticking in the mouth
or through the throat with a knife
which has narrow blade about four
inches long, and then stunned by a
blow on the sack Of the head with a
short club; &: che knife may be insert
ed just back Of the eye. To facilitate
handling in scalding and picking, a
hook is run into the ducks mouth,
coming out through the nostril. The

the wings are picked to the first Joint
and the neck half way to the head.
Long pinfeathers are removed with a
dull knife, and the down sometimes is
rubbed off with the moistened hand,
burned with alcohol or shaved with a
very sharp knife. Large duck farms
usually have pickers who devote their
time entirely to the dressing of ducks
during the killing season and are very
proficient in this work.
Removing Feathers by Steaming.
Ducks may be steamed and picked,
thus saving the feathers without arti-
fetal drying, and as duck feathers are
Of considerable value, their sale is
quite an important item. The wing
and tail feathers are pulled and thrown
to one side before steaming the ducks.
Six or eight ducks, which have been
stuck and hung up to bleed, are placed
on hooks in the top of a steam box or
barrel which can be made alright, and
steamed until the soft feathers on the
breast come off easily. The length of
time to leave them in the box depends
on the temperature of the steam, vary
Ing from one-half to two minutes.
Two sets of pickers usually pluck the
ducks; one set, called the roughers,
removing the bulk of the feathers,
while the other, called the Primers, re-
moves the down and some Of the
smaller feathers: A good method for
removing the down is to sprinkle
powdered resin over the ducks body
and dip the bird into hot water, which
melts the resin so that the down and
resin can b. dubbed off easily with
the hand, 1eaving the body clean.
When carefully steamed the birds
rarely show.any signs Of scalded flesh.
In some cases the ducks are hung in
the steam box with the heads outside,
thus preventing the head from being
steamed; but when the birds are
steamed as described above the heads
are not discolored.
After the ducks are picked they are
usually washed and put in ice water
for IN hour or two to cool and plump.
Each layer OF ducks Is packed flat in
ice, usually with the keels or breasts
down, In barrels, or in boxes holding
one dozen each. :,
It costs from five to six cents apiece
to pick ducks, but the body feathers
ana down usually are saved, as white
feathers bring from 40 to so cents a
pound when cured. zach duck yields
