Dixon, Ill, May 1S-The township

Judge Crabtree in the Lee county court
yesterday when he dismissed the con-

the ruling class-and that there are
these two classes no one can deny
kirkpatrick asserted.
Glass Struggle Is Topic.
The class struggle, as it has always
been carried on, and as it will be car
ried on in the future if the working
people do not awaken and organize
themselves under the socialistic stand
ard. was the theme of Kirkpatrick
address, The Iron Fist" 1t is only as
d working man knows his needs that
he can make an effective struggle. and
the purpose of Kirkpatrick address,
as stated by himself, was to give the
persons now downtrodden some idea
of the big things in what is known as
the class struggle"
The origin of war. of the working
class, of the ruling class, of the strug-
gle between these two classes, and of
the armed guard-what he declared
to be the five great contributing ele-
ments in this gigantic struggle-Were
all traced by the author in opening his
address. The source-he defined in
different language in each instance,
but brought out the same idea-that
the working man is not in a position
TO get the most out of his bargaining
power with the man who hires, be-
cause he is the only party to the agree
ment who does the bargaining.
1T is useless to ask for justice and
freedom, because the ruling class, aft
er 10000 years of dominance, does not
know the meaning of these terms
were the words he used in an endeavor
to spur members of his audience on to
greater effort in organization.
Socialists Day Coming.
The day is coming, he predicted,
when the socialist party will come
into power. Purpose of the so
cialist party is to organize the
worker for self defense till that day
arrives. When it does, the immense
utilities of this nation will be appro-
priated by the people in an era of the
brotherhood of man. was the conclud-
ing thought. All will be brothers in in
dustry, without the confiscation of pri-
waite property which should rightfully
remain private, and new era of free
dom from the iron fist will have
dawned
kirkpatrick was greeted by packed
house and held the interest of his
audience for nearly two hours.

FREIGHT CARS Of
G. & G. |. IMPROVED
WOOD STILLS BEING REPLACED
WITH STEEL ONES AT COST
OF $1os PER CAR.

The Gulf & Ship Island Railroad
Company is making a change in the
equipment of its freight cars which
Will entail vast expenditure OF
money but which will add materially
to the efficiency of the rolling stock in
the freight service.
The change involves the removal of
the two center wood stills which are
now in use in freight cars and their
replacement with a steel center sill.
1t is estimated that the change viii
average sos the car, and as it is the
purpose of the company to eventually
equip every car with this new sill, it
will be seen that the cost will be enor-
nous.
One OF the chief features of the
steel sill is that ii will do away with
draw heads pulling out, which is con-
sidered quite a feature from the
railroad mans point of view, as in
moving long trains there has always
been a danger from couplers. IN
fact, this has been the one weak spot
in the cars of wood sill construction.

lion harrow will do a lot more than
most people seem to believe it will
do.
10. Planter: By all means use a
planter, and see that it puts down a
GOOD stand. It's not much trouble TO
hin corn, anu it is a lot OF trouble to
nave to plant over. Replants are not
worth while.
IL. Section harrow: This nipple
ment is mentioned again for the fact
that its usefulness as an implement
for cultivating corn has not yet been
FULLY appreciated. When the corn is a
-ew inches high this harrow should
be run over it, going diagonally
across the rows, few days later it
should be run in exactly the opposite
direction. From ten to twenty acres
ean be cultivated in one day, depend
ing on the size of the harrow and
strength of the team Small weeds and
grass plants will be killed by the mil
lion if the section harrow is used as
suggested
II. Cultivator: Some one OF the
many three-tooth cultivators may be
used to good advantage for the first
cultivation. These Implements run
fairly deep, sufficiently so to break
the soil as deep as it should be broken
at this time of the year. Later cult
vators should be shallow and may be
done with any of the cultivators hav-
ing spring-tooth attachments. or
scooter stock with a small shovel, in
connection with a wide heel sweep
may be used to good advantage. This
latter implement is the cheapest to be
had, easy to run, and does excellent
work
b. Cultivators: Two-horse. There
are many practical two-horse cultivat-
ors on the market and they do excel
lent work and are great time savers.
The same plan as followed with the
cultivators should be fol-
lowed with the two-horse The first
cultivation may be deep, but later
ones should be shallow.
