LABOR INTERESTS AT STAKE.
Wage Farmers Organ Warns That
 Money Power Seeks Control.

(From the Denver Labor Bulletln.)
 In this Presidential campaign it will be well for those working men and women who concern themselves little about national politics to awaken to the importance of this falls general election. A determined effort is to be made by all the predatory interests to regain control of the White House and Congress- Should they succeed, it will, of course, be the wage-earners the producers, who suffer.
 Peace, prosperity and happiness in larger measure than for many years now prevail throughout this nation Higher wages and shorter hours have been gained for more workers than ever before. Labor is represented in the Presidents Cabinet and in the halls of Congress. Only this month a man in whom the plain people have implicit faith has gained a seat upon the United States Supreme Court bench over the protest of Wall street and allied corporations, and after one of the most vicious fights by the money powers ever directed against an ap- pointee of the President.
 Under Wilson the people Of high ana low degree adSo pCCi si'OAA = square deal.
 Working people in particular are not over enthusiastic about taking a judge for President. They had one sad experience of this character in President William Howard Taft. Jus tice Hughes has been on the Supreme Court Bench for 1ftle over six years, and has invariably joined in decisions favoring the money powers. His opinions have given comfort to the reaetionaries and corporations. As President he could be expected to con- tinue to travel with the plutes and ignore the plebes As governor of New York he vetoed a bill giving the firemen of New York city two pla- toon system and the policemen an eight-hour day. He likewise vetoed a bill providing equal pay for men and women teachers in the public schools of that state. @
 The working people of the nation have gained more in legislation and administrative benefits since Woodrow Wilson became President than during all the previous administrations of this country.
 So far as the organized workers are concerned. they will continue ''to de- feat their enemies and elect their proved friends"

PICTURESQUE
 YOUNG RANCHMAN

D. O. writes: T am girl nearly 1s. Hardly can I con over how adoring one and first fell in love. I visited West He from his ranch in high- heeled boots, broadbrimmed felt hat and flannel shirt I thought pictur- esque. Summer filtration fell short of a romance. One day he walked in to my parents home many miles away. Seeing me, proposed to marry soon only girls in the world he loved. I wouldn't accept. Declared I soon should pack my clothes. He intended to take me West, Am free to be dis enchanted?"
 Not loving this suitor, romance ends. Picturesque, loveless appeals are short lived for girls and youtks.

THE BOY AND THE HATFIELD.

July was once 8 period dreaded by the American country boy. as the time of 'thaying." To be sure 1t was relieved by the turbulent and explos1 i've joys of July 4. But every other day, often In the consecrated hours of the national birthday, he was driv- en. to the hayfield with rake and fork. How his heart rebelled against the humdrum toll!
 By one of the mysterious dispensa- tions of Providence, the smallest boys were put to work in the most exhaust ing post. While the older men were down on the barn floor where the cool breezes swept in from the wide open doors, it was the function of the boys to receive the hay under the caves of the structure, and push and trample it down into the smallest possible possible compass. Only by much treading could the dried grasses be compressed into reasonable space.
 It was a perfect Inferno of heat, the air filled with choking dust, the mow baking from the sun beating on the roof. With no particle of breath from ou of doors it was like the furnace where walked Sha- drach, Meshach and Abednego of old Bible times. The men down below seemed positively to gain satisfaction from covering them up with fast com ing forkfuls of the dusty hay.
 Still there were certain alleviations. The can of iced water sweetened with New Orleans molasses and spiced with ginger from the pantry is still recall ed. Also at the close there was an Elysian dip in the swimming hole.
 Today the youth may swing in the hammock with the summer boarders, while Polish and Swedish farm hands perform these tasks for which their physique is ample, greatly frightened by modern machinery. But certain habits of toilsome industry that gain ed their hold in the fathers soul from the regular performance of such hard labor may be lacking in the son.

O sleep, O gentle sleep. Natures softest nurse, how have

 lids down And steep my senses in forgetfulness? Why rather, sleep. Hest thou in smoky
 cribs, Upon uneasy pallets stretching thee And husb'd with buzzipg night-fiies
 to thy slumber,

 mast Seal up the ship-boy's eyes and rock
 his brains In cradle of the rude imperious surge And in the visitation of the winds, Who take the ruffian pillows by the

 hanging them With deafening glamour in the slippery
 clouds, That, with the hurly. death itself
 awakes? N Canst thou. O partial sleep, give thy
 repose To the wet sea-boy in an hour so rude And in the calmest and most stillest
 night, With all appliances and means to boot Deny it to king! Then happy, low, lie
 down! Uneasy lies the head that wears . l. crown, 1 King Henry W.

booker trousers and brooches com1 prise the suit and in addition there are hat and puttees. In medium size the outfit requires 5A yards 27-inchl scout cloth.
 There ara % many sections to the pattern that the home drcssmaker will have to study the cutting guide. unusually carefully before attempt- placed open, in double width s(not folded) on the cutting table. Then, taking the lower row first, the back of the brooches is laid in place first, on lengthwise thread. Next comes the back of the jacket, then the sleeve sections, followed by the brim of tho hat and the two collar sections.
 In the next row, above the back of the brooches and back of the jacket, is laid tho front of the hreeches, with the lower part of the sleeve sections. To the right e these are laid the crown of the hafS+he pockets and the fly. The top row includes the front of the jacket, the sections of the put tees the waistband and the facing. The front and back of knickerbocker trousers arc not included in the guide, because it is an easy matter to cut them by adapting the brooches pat- tern and because other provision is made for them in the pattern.
 Tn addition to scout cloth, khaki overalis cloth in brown or blue and ga1atea of heaviest quality may be used for the suit. It is impossible to get material that will be too stout, however, for these suits are generally subjected to the hardest possible wear.
 The jacket may be made with a standing or turn-down cellar and two piece sleeves. Sometimes the upper pockets are omitted, but the suit that pleases the boy scout most is the one that has the greatest number of poe kets. Braid may be added as trim, ming, if desired.

.A~~~~~ ( CORNER FOR COOKS
Apple Butter.


 Here are two recipes for making apple butter, as recommended by two different housekeepers. The first calls for six gallons of sweet cider. one and a half bushels of apples, and 10 fbs. of sugar. For a small family, these amounts may be cut in half. Boil the cider one hour. skimming it fre- quently. Add the apples, peeled and cored .and a teaspoon of butter to prevent boiling over. Add the sugar, boil, and stir steadily for three hours. If very juicy apples are used boil . little longer. Cinnamon may be ad- 'ded, if desired.
 The other recipe does not use cider. The apples are cut in small pieces and boiled until soft. They are then rub bed through a sieve and boiled again with an equal quantity of sugar for 16 minutes. Put into small tumblers cover with . small round of paper dipped in vinegar then dip the outer paper in white of egg and fit on nice. ly. The paper will be found diflcuit to remove, even when the glass is washed.
