.pers has served in the above capacity
since 1882,
There have been few men who have
lived through greater trials, and
fought more opposition than Gompers.
He has been called an enemy to his
country, and at times the capitalists
have increased their fuencey in pro-
family by merely thinking about
Gsmpers.
Gompers is nearly sixty-eight
years of age, and he has been cham
pioning the cause of labor since he
was fifteen. Oynamiting and simi-
lar crimes in the name of organized
labor, have at times been indirectly
charged against him. But Gompers
has never been actually accused of any
of these offences against society;
and as matter of fact he has been the
instrument in bringing many offend
ers against the law into court.
President Gompers pledged organiz-
ed labor to the war policy of the Ad-
ministration and he went before the
recent Buffalo convention of the
American Federation of Labor and de-
clared that he was in the fight for the
preservation of Democracy, and that
he expected to use all his power to
make the war successful.
President Wilson left his busy desk
at Washington to go before the con-
vention, and make an address. He
praised Mr.. Gompers as one of the
great patriots of the nation. He un-
reservedly expressed his confidence
in the integrity and ability of the lit
tie General Of organized labor, and in
consequence aided in the reelection of
Mr.. Gompers by an overwhelming
majority.
Strangely enough Mr.. Gompers' old
foes among the corporations have been
saying nice things about him within
the past year. His courage in fight
ing them has finally brought them
to a realization of his strength, and
now that all classes of citizens are en-
deavoring to do their very best ser
vice for common cause, the former
opponents of Gompers are admitting
that he has led very honorable car
eer, and they would doubtless deny it
if anyone should say that they form
erly spoke of the labor leader in Bit
ter tones.
Perhaps all this is a victory for
Gompers, but it is greater victory as
recognition of conscientious, untir-
ing loyalty to cause. Even though
Gompers has championed an unpopu-
lar fight, he has FINALLY won univer-
sal respect for himself and the move
ment to which he has dedicated his
life

what a lot Of ugly people there are in

Sickness, worry ana o. sdom are. I
think. the greatest ugiiGs-s IN all the

To try to be well is the first doctrine
IN the cult Of beauty No one can
think or act clearly when the brain is
muddled by health troubles Ugly lines

rier and sallow color mars the appear

Disappointment. too. can take al

And boredom, MOnotouy IS prop-

But the eyes of the vital are bright

to charm.
For those who bring a glow of de-

for we wish to teacn them to grow
! things that viii be Of help to them
can grow cabbage, spinach, mustard
greens. onions and things TO eat they
can grow flowers, too. In our demon
stration garden here, we are going to
use the money to buy seed for those
unable to buy or for more seed next
year for the demonstration gardens
or for our playground work Most OF
the families in East Ell Paso have room
enough TO plant vegetables and you
can see that they are doing so. from
the little hands that were sent up
here today when we referred 10 this
work. AS Mr.. Roe says, 1t is surpris-
ing how much money a family can
save with a back yard garden, and
with this idea in mind. we have been
planning for several months for this
campaign Almost all the gardens are
now IN and many OF the plants are
peepIng up out OF the ground"
As the school has over 400 children
in ii, 30 percent means that about 500
families in East FL Paso have been iu-
duced through this school work TO
plant vegetables It is not hard TO see
how much money can. be saved in the
purchase Of vegetables.
The school was fortunate in the addi-
tional ground purchased by the board Of
trustees. for this made available a con-
siderable area outside the playground
proper for garden purposes. Spinach,
mustard greens. onions, raDbages. head
lettuce and other vegetables are al
ready up All have been properly
bedded, and bitches have been con-
structed for irrigation. The children
were shown several months ago how
to spade up and prepare the beds with
manure. Later they were shown how
TO plant and now they are being taught
how 10 irrigate and cultivate the
plants They take this Information
home and use il in their own work.
II is a great satisfaction. Miss Prater
says, to watch the little ones toll over
their tiny home gardens; to see the
enthusiasm and the hope that mark
the expressions in their little faces.
All were told yesterday of Arbor day
and Of the value OF tree planting and
many OF them went home and put out
trees Some went to the banks of the
RIO Gralde and dug cottonwoods and
WILLOWS for transplanting; some had
saved money enough to buy trees of the
nurseries.
Some Of the larger boys wheeled or
carried manure in sacks for a great
distance this spring to fertilize their
garden beds.
Aside from the value OF the gardens
