RailWay Carmen

There were over 500 delegates pres
ent at the recent convention of the
Brotherhood of Railway Carmen held
at Fort Worth, Texas, representing
over 600 lodges with 10000 members.
Among the more important business
transacted was the purchase of $780,
600 of Liberty Bonds.
A pension of $75 per month for the
rest of his life was voted Past Cen
eral President Frank l.. Ronemus, who
is resident of Kansas City, and it
was resolved to erect monument to
the memory of his brother, W. H..
Ronemus, who died within the year.
The two Ronemus brothers were the
founders of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Carmen of America.
The convention instructed the gen.
eral president and executive board to
secure plans and submit to the refer
endum a proposition for the erection
of an administration building, with
printing plant, in some city hereafter
to be chosen.
All the former officers were re-
elected They include General Presi-
dent Martin F. Ryan and General Sec
retary-Treasurer E. William Weeks,
both of Kansas City.
The general president, executive
board, and committee of three to
act with them, were instructed to de-
wise means to establish home for
aged members and orphan children of
members of the order.

Iron Moulders

Reports of international officers at
the recent convention in Rochester, N.
Y, of the International Iron Molders
Union of North America developed an
almost unbelievable growth in men,
bership during the last year. Wonder
full increases in benefits as to hours,
wages and improved shop conditions
were reported from all sections of the
country, especially in the East.
The Molders are high-dues organi-
zation. Results were shown by the fl
nancial statements. Receipts amount
ed to S2,974 ,292, of this amount $780,
692 has been expended for relief and
death benefits.
The standard eight-hour day was
deemed far more essential than even
wage increases and a strong resolution
was adopted instructing local unions
to subserve all other policies to this
end.

IRE YOUR GARDENS
ALREADY SP4DED?
TIME FOR LETTUCE!

Crop Rotation Saves Time and Money.
The kitchen garden is to furnish a
large variety of vegetables in small
| quantities for immediate consumption
To accomplish this on the average
plot, we must, of course, use a time
rotation and select our site with care
The garden plot should be a WELL
drained, well-balanced mixture OF
sand, clay, loan and humus and, II
possible. have southern slope or
at least, protection from north winds.
In back yard gardens it is not often
We find all these desirable points; II
not, We may supply some of them ar
tificially. A heavy clay soil should
have been manured, lined and spad-
ed last fall; but the matter is not
beyond remedy if this has been neg
lected. A generous supply of street
sweepings and deep spading, if it be
done at once, may still save the back
yard for garden.
Last fall, on a garden plot of good
soil in Columbia, thirty-three wheel
barrows loads of well-rotted stable
manure, little lime and some wood
ashes were used. The lot was then
spaded deeply.
The average Columbia kitchen gar
den is about 20 by 30. Obviously, IL
We are to supply the table with a va

their development, we will be unable
to plant Irish potatoes. sweet potatoes
or sweet corn, and will have to choose

baceous group. We may have lettuce,

THE FORWARD STEP

The people of Columbia, actins
through their representatives in tn,

long step forward.
At Tuesday nights council meet.
ing, resolution was adopted asking
for an ordinance to authorize the city
engineer and the superintendent OF
the water and light department to
present specifications for the long
talked-of reservoir at the next meet
ing of the body.
The further announcement was
made that 10000 feet of water main
and several fire-plugs are now on the
road to Columbia An extension of
the present system of water mains
will be made from Sixth street to Flat
Branch and also on Mount Vernon
avenue. which runs from Amelia
street to Paris road.
The extension of water mains has
long been a topic of interest to the
citizens of Columbia, and campaigns
for them have been instituted by To-
cal societies. The construction of a
reservoir has also enlisted the con-
sideration and approval of the people
of the city.
The two progressive movements are
the direct results of the will of a.
clear-thinking, interested population.
The people have made plain that
which they desired, and the council
has respected their wishes.
No greater compliment could be
paid to Columbians than this. 1t is
an indication that they are alert to
the needs and welfare of their own
city.
1t is an indication of a greater and
more prosperous Columbia.

as continue to furnish the Allied pow-

The recent Mexican mobilization
greatly increased the efficiency of the
land forces. Including the National
Guard. We have 254, S26 efficient
fighting men. Every state. ex-
cept Nevada, has an organized guard
Missouri has 2,629, being exceeded by
only is others. Pennsylvania leads,
with 1882. Experts estimate the
number of men of fighting age in the
United States at 100000. Like Eng
lands army at the beginning of the
war, it may take some months to
bring these men into fighting shape,
but once past the rookie" stage the
army would be an uncomfortable
fighting machine.
Comparisons with the Central Pow
ers show our strength. Americas
national wealth is s23O, 900. 900 900.

The national gold stock is $4,000, ,OOO,-

German Allies. In iron ore produc-
tion we exceed by $4,000 900 pounds.
In copper. the United States exceeds

America is formidable. Her great

FIRE DRILLS TO

RURAL TEACHER
Dry Condition of Country
Apt to Result In Dan
ger From Fires

One of the FIRST duties of the rural
teachers in Cass county when they
call their schools this fall win be to
instruct their pupils in fire drill
work.
Because oe the dry condition of the
country and in view of past disas-
tiers in the state from prairie fires,
fire drills will be given more con-
sideraEion than in any previous year.
According to County Superintend-
ent ]. w. Riley II is the business of
the local head Of the school to ar
range for these drills and he can not
legally draw his salary until the
state law in regard to fire drills Is
complied with.
Rural schools find their greatest
danger lies in prairie fires,' said
County Superintendent Riley this
afternoon. in case one Is seen COM
ing toward the schoolhouse the
teacher must keep a cool head. If
there is a friendly plowed field by
and plenty of time to reach 1t, the
teacher should direct all to seek
refuge there. Do not, however, take
any chance Of being caught.
CLOSE the windows and doors and
stay in the building with your
pupils. The building will not take
fire in time to prevent your escape.
When the fire has passed over, rush
