Once upon time there was a queen
who ruled over kingdom in India.
But in the land there was one great
sorrow--there was no child to inherit
the crown.
The queen grew sad and wandered
about her gardens weeping, but one
day fairy queen came and brought
a golden basket near the queens bed.
So the baby was adopted and the
whole country made happy.
Everyone liked this arrangement ex-
cept a big gray rabbit. which had

but he had also grown mean and
jealous.
One day the baby was sick. so the
queen sent at once for the fairy queen.
In she came riding on shell made
out OF spun gold and drawn by two
humming birds. She saw Bunny over
in a corner hiding behind velvet cur
tain and at once understood what the
bad rabbit felt-that he was angry and
jealous that the baby should take his
place in the queens affections.
II am SO worried" exclaimed the
queen, bending over the baby, who
seemed in a fever. ''can you not give
me something which will cure him."
II do not think he is seriously sick"

WASHINGTON, August 29.-Later-President Will
son addressed joint session of congress today at 2SO
o'clock and admitted that the efforts of the peacemakers
had failed to prevent the threatened nationwide railroad
strike.
He urged legislation that was outlined in the cables
sent this morning and also legislation that would give the
President the power to operate the railroads of the
try in of military necessity but the most amazing
proposal Of all by the President was that when the rail
roads were taken by the government power should
be given to draft into service the employees and the oper
atng heads of the roads themselves This proposal is re-
garded as being par with the action of the French
government some few years ago when forced the srik
ing railroad servants into the ranks of the army as reserve
men and so broke the strike.

FINE EXPERIMENTAL
RANCH AT MILE l6

Very few people in Seward know
rfat at Mile l6 there exists an ex-
perimental ranch which is being used
to learn exactly what garden products
will best flourish in this region. But
there is such a ranch and it is the
Large ranch, and Derrick Lane who
was out that way last Sunday return
ed full of enthusiasm for the work
which Mr.. Large has done Two acres
have been fenced off against rabbits
and although the ranch was only
taken up last Fall it is rich with
many kinds of farm produce. 1t has
four or five kinds of lettuce. The po-
tatoes are aounshing. Wheat and
oats are up and currants and rasp-
berries are also in evidence. Mr.. Lane
says that the turnips, rutabagas and
radishes are perfect. Roses have been
planted and seem to be doing well.
There is a flower garden and even a
strawberry bed. Most of the straw
berry plants were spoiled coming up
but quite a number are showing above
and are doing well. Mr.. Large Is
really creating this miniature Eden
to try little of everything and he
hopes to have ten acres under cultiva-
ton next year. Mr.. Lane is also en-
thusiastic about the work that has
been done on the railroad out there.
He says a person who has not seen it
cannot understand how far the road
has progressed.

HALF A MILLION MIN WALK OUT
LABOR DAY UNLESS CONGRESS ACTS

WASHINGTON. August 29-Conferences were held
last night both by the railroad broJherhoods and the rail
road executives and it developed that neither side will
yield anything So now the country believed to be faced
by the great strike unless legislation by the national egis
atue can avert the danger Immediately after learning
that no hope of settlement existed President Wilson
went to work on message which he will deliver to JOINT
session of congress today tomorrow and which will re-
commend legislation designed to delay the impending
strike or to bring to quick end if it is in full swing be-
fore congress can pass the laws i'm question The PreSl
dent will urge that the law be drawn along the lines of the
Canadian Disputes Act which prohibits strikes and lock-
outs pending an investigation 10y commission 1t IS al
50 about certain that i'm the bin will be provision for an
eight hour day for railroad employees.
In order to get these measures through quickly it is
probable that they Will be introduced amendments to
the bill which has passed the house and which increases
the interstate commerce commission from seven to nine
members If, however the President plans to halt the
railroad strike through law similar to the Canadian Dis
putes Act he must get it passed before Monday or
otherwise the railroad brotherhoods will go ahead with
the plan to walk out ON Labor Day at The law pre-
vents strike or lockout within given period but it is
the view of the railroad brotherhood leaders that II the
strike is already in effect Monday the fact that the law
was not passed until that day will render imperative
and the strike will be perfectly legal even in defyng such
a law.
In the meantime the war is almost forgotten by the
business people of the country in the contemplation of
the dire results that might from such teup OF the
means of transportation The very fact that more than
a half million men will be thrown out of employment is
regarded as serious danger but the closing down of the
means Of transportation infinitely more serious it adj
mitted ON all hands.
