Industrial Law Branded Unfair.

Resolutions condemning the State
Industrial Commission and demanding
the repeal of the law by which 1t was
created were passed without a dis
senting vote by the Colorado Fedora
ton of Labor at the Colorado Springs
meeting. The resolution declared
that the commission has usurped the
rights and liberties of laboring men
and that the repeal of the law for
every section and paragraph would
be made paramount issues Of the COM
ing election. Resolutions In favor of
a law framed to wrest from judges
the power of granting injunctions
were also introduced by the commit
tee and adopted. The convention
overwhelmingly favored the resolution
urging upon Governor Carlson, labor
commissioners and district attorneys
the enforcement of the Colorado wom-
ans eight-hour law. By vote of 55
to 81, the convention adopted a reso-
luton in favor Of the beer" amend
ment. This provides for the manu-.
facture and sale in Colorado Of beer

of Pennsylvania. formerly factory
girl and now an inspector for the
Consumers league, made an i'm

for organized labor to urge passage

HIS MOTHER CAME FIRST
Fiancee Of Illinois MIIItiaman Had to

Grounds.

While the mobilization Of a certain
Illinois regiment was under way wOm-

friends Of the Guardsmen fiocked to
the camp in such numbers that neces-
sary work was hampered. Thereupon
1t is reported, the colonel issued or
ders that only one woman should be
allowed to visit each member of the
regiment.
One of the Guardsmen, not yet
knowing Of the order, approached the
camp in company with his mother, a
sister and his fiancee. The guard
stopped the party and sternly asked
who the women were. When told he
answered:
"You can take In only one. It's up
to you to choose"
The young man looked for mo-
ment at the three, and then said,

this Is done mother wAl never get

that the young Guardsman will make

0Id-Time ParIor Has Gone
Into the Discard; Living
Room Has Taken Its Place.

That we are becoming a parlorless ma
ton is one of the interesting develop
ments in modern domestic architec-
ture. This disappearance of the par
lor and the evolution of the living
room is typical of the new social feel
ing and marks the change from the
conventional and superficial to the
more informal and intimate inter
course Of the present day.
This movement, begun in the apart
ment house and developed in the bun
galow, was probably brought about by
the limitations Of space, as well as by
the increased cost Of building a house.
The praiseworthy desire of simplifying
the house may have contributed also
to the result. But, whatever the cause,
the fact surely remains that, however
large the house or numerous the
rooms. there seems to be no place for
the parlOr.
So the parlor, which was once the
most important room in the house, is
now crowded out or else relegated to
a corner of the hall, with two chairs
and palm.
The living room Is all that its name
suggests. Comfortably furnished, well
lighted and with no useless ornaments
to be sidestepped or knocked down, 1t
belongs to the man quite as much as
to the woman, which is, perhaps, the
finest thing about it.

POULTRY POINTERS

Sudden fright and excitement at
once tells on the egg crop. Never
allow strange dogs about where the
hens are.
Don't relax the care of the chicks.
They will become inactive and dis
eased.
Market the broilers and all the roost-
ers that you don't want to keep for
breeding purposes.
Uniform products command one best
prices. Purebred fowls produce uni
form products.
When selling the eggs to the coun-
try merchant or cash buyer, insist that
the transaction be on quality basis.
After one lot of chickens Is re-
moved from the brooder house, clean
thoroughly and spray with disin-
fectant.
Clean up the incubator; use a good
disinfectant; empty the oil and throw
the wick away. Allow the machine to
dry thoroughly before closing the
door up tight.
Regularity Of feeding means much.
Those who feed spasmodically are
likely either to injure the fowls by
overfeeding or not give enough, per.
haps both. The birds should have their
feed regularly.
Eggs are easily affected by bad
odors. Do not keep in musty grain
bin, or in the vegetable cellar, or
where they can absorb the odors Of
kerosene and gasoline.
Marketing must be done at the right
time and in the right manner. This
is very important for it will be the
final test Of profitable poultry raising.
There should be method in marketing.
Not only should feeding be regular.
but the quantity should be ample. It
would be waste of feed to give too
much, but enough should be given and
just enough. Surely this requires
method.
Method has much to do with poul-
try raising even where farmers have
small flocks. Just as method Is re-
sponsible for much in general farm
ing so Is 1t important in raising pOul-
try.
