have established certain community
of interest that is not permanent and
that is felt more by union officials who
took part in the wage negotiations than
by the miners themselves. The other
factor is of great Importance and de-
serves serious thought by all who be-
lieve the government should own and
operate those basic industries in which
free competition is not desirable or
possible. This is the distrust felt by
organized labor toward the govern
ment as an employer. That Mr.. Lewis
was moved by this distrust when he
expressed opposition to government
operation was shown when he added
that the miners believed questions of
wages and working conditions could
best be worked out by representatives
of the miners and operators, rather
than thru the government arbitrarily
fixing wages and other conditions.
Wage earners employed in an indus
try marked for government ownership
wish to be very certain that the pre-
cedent to be followed shall be that of
the navy department in dealing with
its organized mechanics, and not that
of the post Office department. In other
words, they require assurance that
they shall not be regimented and con-
trOlleu Dy bureaucratic offlclalS armed
with the power to fix wages and work
ing conditions without consultation and
without appeal. Postmaster General
Burleson's Prussian-like attitude to-
ward the employees of his department
has stirred deep resentment. In the
campaign of last fall the Postal En-
ployes Union stood alone among labor
organizations in its opposition to the
Wilson administration. Altho Presi-
dent Flaherty and his associates had
no love for Mr. Hughes, they felt that
the ruthless ignoring of the grievances
of postal employees by the Burleson
administration had made it impossi-
BILE for them to support the president
for reelection. Their opposition did
not greatly affect the result, but it
brought home to organized labor the
possibility of losing instead of gaining
in liberty by a transfer from private
to public operation. But a union pos
sessing the strength of the United
Mine Workers should not doubt its
power so to influence methods of gov
ernment operation as to provide for
democratic handling of the problems
of wages and working conditions. 1t

tion in the administration of the
mines. The ideal of industrial dem
ocracy would be much easier of at

ABOUT ONIONS

Once there was belief that onions
had distinct medicinal value, and they
were placed in the abhorred list of
things we ought to eat, because they
are good for us?
If properly cooked and served there
is no winter vegetable more delicious
than the onion, but let US observe one
rule; always do the preliminary cook
ing of onions in the morning as soon
as the family departs, for the almost
unavoidable herald of the cooking
onion has been known to spoil many
an appetite.
Baked onions are especially good
served with chicken or turkey. Boil
enough to be easily pierced with a
fork. Put into a buttered baking dish,
and bake ten minutes in a very hot
oven. Sprinkle over them a teaspoon
full of sugar, and pour into the baking
dish a cupful of rich beef or chicken
stock. Cook about fifteen minutes
longer, and serve in the dish in which
they are baked.
Onion with chicken and rice is an
unusual combination, and unusually
good as well. This is a recipe from
an Italian friend, but it should be i'm
mediately Americanized by adoption.
''To serve six people have two mod
erate-sized onions to person. Use
one cupful of rice washed thoroughly,
one cupful of chicken meat, diced fine,
three cupfuls of chicken stock, and
two cupfuls of water. Use for this an
earthen baking dish somewhat fiat.
Put the onions in first, then the rice
and chopped chicken, pouring the stock
water over last. Salt and pepper and
dot literally with butter. Place in a

Let it be reiterated that it would be
misfortune, and not blessing, if
the coal mine owners should succeed
in salvaging their right to control the
coal output for profit by renouncing
part of that profit during the war,
only to go back to the old immoral
game which is the only game private
monopoly knows or can know.

Preparation.
l have had numerous requests for
information as to the growing and
harvesting of peanuts, so in order
to furnish it with the least amount
of trouble, ] have prepared this let
ter for distribution to those inter-
ested.
Last spring l visited the Spanish
peanut section around Petersburg,
Va, talked with individual farmers
as to their methods and during the
year 1916 | was directely interested
in sixteen hundred acres of peanuts,
so the information given you is born
of experience, and is, believe. cor
rect.
The variety to grow for oil mills
is the small white Spanish. These con
tain more oil than any other variety,
are easier worked and harvested, and
fewer are left in the ground. They are
worth ten to fifteen cents more pei
busheI to an oil mill than other va
rieties. Home grown seed are best;
they produce about ten per cent more
than the North Carolina and Virginia
stock, and generally give a better
stand, provided, of course, the home

PENSACoLA'S GARBAGE DISPOSAL,

of course. be sufficient moisture to
bring them up, but caution is given
against planting when the ground is
wet.
Remember. it is absolutely neces-
sary to let the peanuts come up on a
level if you hope to make good crop
Work them flat, never dirt them, for
every bloom you cover up means a
peanut lost. The plants begin to bloom
right at the ground and slightly be-
low it, and if you plow two inches OF
dirt or even one inch around them
you cover those first blooms, and lose
Just that much Of your crop. This is
the most important feature in tha
whole proposition, and l am trying
to impress the fact, so you may avoid
the mistake generally made in my
section this year (1916). If ycu viii
get them up level, and work them
flat, nature will take care Of the
pegs or shoots that come ND high
on the vines, by causing them to lie
down at the proper time, so these
pegs can go in the ground.
We did most of our planting down
in a water furrow, thinking to work
the dirt to the vines and then pillow
it high around them, and make pea
nuts from the bottor1 TO top. This was
flat failure, we lost the bottom
crop entirely; the DIT we put around
them propped up the vines 80 they
could not lie down, so we got only
small top crop. Don't make this
mistake.
Rows should be 20 to 30 inches wide
and the nuts four to eight inches in
the drill. Ordinarily the more nuts
you put to the acre the larger crop
you viii make. Don't have wide
rows and plant II to Is inches in the
drill; you cannot have a large crop
if you do.

We know that foods spoil for two
reasons!
The most important reason is that
there are present all about us tiny
plants too small for us to see, which
we call heterogeneous. These
micro-organisins like the same food
we like-meat, bread, vegetables.
Most of our plants can manufac
ture from the air and water and soil
the food which they need. These
plants, heterogeneous, which are so
small and so numerous, cannot do
this. They prefer to live on our
food, and in the process of helping
themselves, they in most cases render
the food unfit for our use.
In order to keep our food sweet
and clean, then, we must kill any of
these plants that may have got into
it before it comes to us; and we
must prevent any others from get
ting in; or else we must keep it under
such conditions that any which may
be present cannot thrive and bring
about their destructive work.
The second reason for the spelling
of foods is not so easy to explain.
We know there is a great difference

lost their all.

9. Why Foods Spoil.

in the ripening of all fruits and veg
etables. For example, an apple, a
peach, and ounce all ripen diff
ferently.
The material in the fruit or vege-
table which causes the ripening so
characteristic of the different kinds
is called by the scientist an engine.
These engines aided by the heat of
the sun bring about certain typical
changes in the fruit or vegetable
which we call ripening. 1t is wen
known that if these changes con-
tinue too long the fruit deteriorates
in quality and finally becomes unfit
for use. We also know that such
changes continue after the fruit has
been gathered
We know the flavor of stale vege-
tables is due to changes brought
about by these engines. Fresh corn
on standing becomes less sweet. The
delicate flavors Of fruits such as
Strawberries are destroyed by al
lowing them to stand after they have
been gathered.
In order to set TO work on the
problem of food preservation we
must first know something about the
two causes of decay, the micro-or-
ganisms and the engines, the condi-
tions under which they live, how they
may be destroyed or their action
stopped.

lines; to sink every ship on sight, regard

country with which she is at war.
