WORK, AMBITION AND THE LABOR
PROBLEM.

An interesting sidelight on industrial unrest
was furnished the other day by a visitor from
another state. He is in the business of shoe
manufacturing. Speaking of the low wages pre-
vailing in many industries, he gave this bit Of
personal experience.
Some months ago the girls in the stitching
room of his factory, who had long been dissatis-
fled, became particularly rebelious. The majority
of them were ca ming only about SIS per week.
The company claimed it was all they earned.
A system piece of prices was suggested by the
employers. The girls were hostile to it, feeling
it was all a scheme to squeeze more work out Of
them.
Finally the girls reluctantly consented to try
it out. They found they could earn more without
difficulty. Now the great majority of them get
$40 to Sill per week. What is still more remark
able, the concern is getting the shoes stitched
more cheaply than before. In arranging new
prices, the concern now aims to make it possible
it can afford to do it.
This illustrates how imdolently many people
will work when their ambition is not reused. They
take no interest in the success of their employer,
and plug along day after day without effort to i'm
prove their methods.
OF course an instance like this is not the whole
story. Many employers are different to the well
fare Of their work people. They do not stop to
think whether they are getting a living wage or
not.
But it remains true that many people
their poor wages to the lack of interest in their
work. If they will put some brains into it, try
to produce better results, they will usually find
that their effort is appreciated in a substantial
way.

THE EVIL OF

Representatives of all the churches, educators
in their associations, women in their clubs, and
special committees appointed for the purpose are
carefully looking into the divorce problem and
formulating plans for a universal divorce law for
all the states. The problem is most pressing, for
divorce has grown into an insufferable evil.
People who never before felt alarm are beginning
to wonder if something is wrong with our institu-
tons and if the American man and woman are
becoming impossible to live with.
Canada has no divorces to speak of. She has
millions of people. but recently, during IL months,
there were but three divorces in the entire domin-
ion.
Our smallest county in TIE smallest state has
more divorces than the entiIe Dominion of Cana
da. But nobody can question the progress of
Canada and the happiness of her homes. A
French author has pronounced Toronto "the most
prosperous and solid city, on the continent.
Certainly something is wrong with the Ameri-
can people when a Chicago judge has so couples
coming in, in a day, and with jaunty and careless
air asking to be divorced. No wonder the jurist
became indignant and said to some of these
couples:
"In your so homes you have brought enough
children into the world to fill the city hall or a
great schoolhouse. The desertion of these child
rem to step-fathers or step-mothers, or to orphan
asylums and the misery and unhappiness that
curses nine children out of ten who suffer such a
fate, puts you divorcefs below the level of beasts"
But the Judges words were futile. The next
term Of court brought just as many more people
who could not live p~eaceably in their own homes.
Washington is betting on and against an extra
session, though there has been no advance infor-
nation "leak."
Possibly the House has the idea that "pork"
appropriation will satisfy the demand for cheaper
grub.

and the mare, with sharp ears cooked
forward, looked over his shoulder in
quisitively. "Tell the lady good morn
ing. Bessie Belle" he directed. The
animal flung it's head high, then
stepped forward and, stretching it's
neck, shifted doubtfully ut the visitor.
"What Il graceful bow" Mrs. Aus
tin laughed. "You taught her that, l
presume"
"Yes'm! She'd never been to school
when 1 got her; she was plumb igno-
rant. But she's got all the airs of q
fine lady now. Sometimes 1 go with
out sugar, but Bessie Belle never
does"
And you with a sweet tooth!"
The Ranger smiled pleasantly.
"She's as easy as n rockin' chair.
We're kind Of sweethearts. Amt we,
kidd" Again Bessie Belle tossed her
head high. "That's YES with the re-
verse English" the speaker explained.
He would not permit her to help with
the breakfast. so she lay back watch

that she saw him by daylight, had be-
gun to challenge her interest. Phys

considerably over six feet in height,
with wide shoulders and lean, strong
limbs. Although his face was schooled
to mask all but the keenest emotions,
a pair Of blue-gray, meditative eyes,
with a whimsical fashion Of wrinkling
half-shut when he talked, relieved q
countenance that otherwise would
have been a trifle grim and somber.
The nose was prominent and boldly
arched, the mouth was thin-lipped and
mobile. In his face there "a nothing

sented the good impression Law had
made upon her, for on general prin-
ciples II chose to dislike and d!strust
men. Rising, she walked painfully to
the pond and made a leisurely toilet.
Breakfast a ready when she re-
turned, and once more the man sat
upon his heels and smoked while she
ate. After a while she remarked: I'm
glad to see a Ranger in this country.
There has been a lot of stealing down
our way, and the association men can't
seem to stop IT.. Perhaps you can"

that line" he admitted. But there is

SWEET CLOVER CROP
ASSISTS FERTILITY
Yields Larger Amount Of Hay and
Improves Condition of Soil
Aid to Drainage.

Besides yielding a larger crop Of
hay than other legumes, sweet clover
improves the condition Of the soil and
increases it's fertility. For these rea-
sons it may become a valuable acquisi-
ton.
Observations made by the Ohio ex-
pertinent station show that the main
roots Of this crop often extend nearly
three feet below the surface, thus
breaking up the soil and aiding In
drainage, especially o. heavy clay
soils. These studies indicate that
more Of this crop thai ordinary red
clover lived through tile drought of
1916.
Large amounts of organic matter
may be added If sweet clover is pl0w-
ed down even eight months after seed
ing. Because it is a leguminous crop,
a store of nitrogen may also be Added
when it is given a place In tho CROP
ming system.

CHAPTER u.
The ambush.

Alaire Austin, like most normal
women, had a surprising amount of
endurance, both nervous and muscu-
lar, but, having drawn heavily against
her reserve force, she paid the penalty.
During the early hours of the night
she slept hardly at all; as soon as her
bodily discomfort began to decrease
her mind became unruly, and it was
not until nearly dawn that she dropped
off into complete Inconsistencies. She
was awakened by a sunbeam which
pierced her leafy shelter.
1t was still early; the sun had just
cleared the valleys rim and the ground
was damp with dew. Somewhere near
by an unfamiliar bird was sweetly
thrilling. Alaire listened dreamily IN
til the bird-carol changed to the air of
a familiar cowboy song, then she sat
up. queerly startled.

grooming the animal meanwhile with
a burlap cloth. It was Il beautiful
blood-bay mare, and as the woman
looked it lifted its head, then with
wet, trembling muzzle caressed its
owners cheek. Undoubtedly this at
tention vas meant for a kiss, and was
as daintily conferred as any woman's

Of sugar.
"Good morning." said Mrs. Austin.
Law lifted his hat in a graceful sa-

of the pool, his spurs jingling musical

bacon in her lap, then opened a glass
jar Of jam.
The woman ate and drank slowly.
She was too tired to be hungry, and
meanwhile the young man sQuatted
upon his heels and watched her
through the smoke from a husk ciga-
rette.
"Have you had your supper" she
finally inquired.
"Who. me? Oh, I'll eat with the
help" He smiled, and when his fash
ing teeth showed white against his
leathery tan the woman decided he
was not at all b%ad-looking. He was
very tall and quite lean, with the long
legs of a horseman-this latter feature
a~ccentuated by his high-heeled boots
and by the short canvas cowboy coat
that reached only to his cartridge belt.
His textures she could not we'll make
out, for the fire was little more than
a bed of Goals, and he fed it, Indian
like, with a twig or two at a time.
II beg your pardon. I'm selfish"
She extended her cup and plate as an
invitation for him to share their con.
tents. "Please eat with me-"
But he refused. II amt hungry" he
affirmed. "Honest!"
Accustomed as she was to the diff.
fidence Of ranch hands, she refrained
from urging him, and proceeded with
he- repast. When she had finished she
lay back and watched him us he ate
s%paringly.
"My horse fell crossing the Arroyo
Grande," she announced, abruptly. HE
broke q leg, and I had to shoot him."
"Is there any water in the Grande?'
asked the man.
"No. They told rue there was plenty

Material for Foundation. F.
The foundation Of any permanent
building should be constructed Of dura-
BILE material, should be Of sufficient
size to carry the weight Of the
building and should extend below the
frost line.
The merits Of stone and concrete
for a foundation are so well and fa-
vorably known that no general dis
cussion Of these materials is deemed
necessary. Cement mortar rather
than lime mortar should be used in
laying up all stone foundations.
In extending u part of the silo be-
low the surface, the soil should not
be used us u part of the form. The
concrete should be durable and eco
nomical, should contain only clean and
durable stone, gravel and sand. Brick
foundations should only be hard
burned brick laid in cement mortar,
and when so built are considered sat.
isfactory.
The weight on the foundation is
practically only that of the wall and
roof. For a concrete silo under so
feet in height the width Of footing need
not be over twice or three times as
wide as the thickness Of the wall for
any kind Of soil except soft clay or
quicksand.
The heuving action Of frost is due
entirely to the moisture contained in
. the soil, which expands with an al
most irresistible force upon freezing.
For these considerations, unless the
foundation lies in dry, %well-drained

Concrete Floor.
A silO floor need not be thick or ex.
p%ensive, as the weight of the silage,
though very great, is distributed ever
ly over the surface and would be just
as firmly supported if the floor were
not used.
A door for filling, large enough to
admit the carrier or elevator from
the ensilage-cutter, should be placed
in the roof. A simple trapdoor may
be used for this purpose but u dormer
window with glass is preferable.
Some light should be admitted to the
silO for If not it will be necessary to
use a lantern when removing the
silage.
A silo door should form an alright
joint with it's frame and be flush or
smooth on the inside. In addition, it
should be convenient for the removal
Of silage and Of a size to permit any
person to enter the silo.
Most patent silos are now provided
with continuous doors which are only
INSTRUCTED by the hoops or bars ex-
tending from side to side. Often
these connections or hoops are so
close together that the so-called con-
tinuous door is Of little advantage
over doors Of larger size placed in the
other.
