THE CROOKEDEST RIVER.

The Humboldt river flows south
westerly thru the central portion Of
Nevada near the line OF the Southern
Pacific railroad and ends in desert
sink. This river is declared to be, in
point of size and length, on the au-
thority Of Fred A. Riecker, valuation
engineer of the Southern Pacific. the
crookedest river in the world. At one
place adjacent to the railroad, be-
tween points two and half miles
apart, the rivers length is eight miles
and by actual count its course is al
ternately north twenty-five times,
east eighteen times, south thirty times
and west forty-one times.

Cigarnakers
(By j. w. sanford.)

At Tuesday evenings meeting we
conducted rafle for the benefit of
R. w. Strachan, charter member of
129, who is at present unable to work.
A beautiful cut glass water set was
ratified off and the lucky number 132,
was held by J. A. Fisher, who is as
tickled as boy with a new little red
wagon.
Henry Lavoe and Mr.. Dwyer ad-
dressed our meeting in the interest of
the International Defense League and
disposed of some tickets for their
dance Monday eve, Dec. 8, which Pres
dent Hornburg referred to in his in
PRODUCTION of the members as a terpsi-
chorean entertainment of the first
magnitude for a worthy cause.
"Chuck" Nichols of the Printing
Pressmen had not been apprised of
the change of meeting nights of our
organization to accommodate the
Trades Assembly and disputed our
rights at first, but after considering
the pugilistic appearance of some of
our members decided to accept one of
the smaller halls for his meeting.
A sheet of Red Cross seals was on
hand and the cecretary was instructed
to purchase them, which, however, is
our usual custom.
Notice of the Garment Workers
dance at Caldwell hall on December 5
was called to the attention of our
members.
Communication from the local
Broom Makers Union asking our as
sistance in organizing a factory in this
city was favorably acted on. The
fact that there is not a union broom
factory in Denver is deplorable, to say
the least. ~''~-
Nonunion cigars are gaining foot
hold in Denver, not because of their
superior quality but because of the
indifference of the smoker in taking
the kind of cigars that the dealer
makes little more profit on. Be care
full that the cigar trade don't go the
same way as the Broom Makers. 1t
costs no more to the smoker to get a
union-made cigar. If 400 cisarmakers
are obliged to leave this city it will af-
feet every other craft in proportion.
If the dealer won't play fair it is up
to the smoker to make him do it. Call
for cigars bearing the BLUE label of
the Cigarmakers'.
A paragraph from an editorial in
the Cigar Makers Official Journal for
November speaks volumes in a few
lines and is herewith furnished for
your consideration:
| Inc claHOr 1Or cneap ldDOr, IOT
cheap men, women and children is
based upon political economy which
is fallacious in theory and detrimental
in practice. 1t is detrimental to the
welfare of the nation; it is detri-
mental to the growth of the home
market; it destroys the purchasing
power of the masses. 1t gluts the
markets by over production; it ere
ates periodical depressions in indus
try. 1t multiplies the helpless and
homeless that cannot support them
selves by industry; it develops pau
per class, mental deficiency and phys
ical degeneracy. 1t is a menace to
civilization; it is the hot bed of de-
spair and anarchy"

union factories and do not bear the
label of the Cigarmakers' Union.

A JOURNAL WITH A PURPOSE

The Public, a weekly journal of
fundamental democracy, founded 20
years ago by Louis F. Post. now as
sistant secretary of labor at Washing
ton, announces that beginning Janu-
ary l it's size will be increased one
third and the subscription price in
creased from 81 to 50 a year. The
Public has been one of the few strong
journals that have whole-heartedly
supported the government in it's war
policy without compromising in the
slightest degree with those "enemies
within" represented by social and eco
nomic injustice. 1t is steadily grow
ing in influence, and its editorial and
special articles furnish an excellent
lead for liberal-thinking in these crit
ical times.

BOYS AND GIRLS FARM CLUBS
County Clubs Will Compete at Denver
Show for State Championships.

The Boys and Girls clubs of Colo
RADIO are planning to attend the Den
yer Stock Show, the week of January
10Th to 26th, inclusive, and their ex-
hibits will be an important feature of
the show. The prize winners in all
the various counties will take their
exhibits to Denver and there they will
enter into competition for state cham
pionships. There will be great deal
of interest, especially in the pig clubs.
The boys and girls who have been ex-
perimenting in raising pigs will be an
important factor in Mr.. Hoover's new
"Keep a Pig" campaign, which will
probably be started Stock Show week.
The Agricultural College Extension
Service is in charge of the boys and
girls department at the show, and it
will without doubt be very interest
ing feature.

PUEBLO STRIKE is SETTLED.
Employees Of Packing Plant Return to
Work Under Agreement.

Employees of the Nuckols packing
plant in Pueblo have returned to work
under nm agreement reached between
the union and the owners of the con-
cern. Some sensational stories were
printed in the daily papers about the
engineers leaving the rcfrigerators
containing 100000 pounds OF fresh
meat to spoil. This was all bunk. for
when the strike was called sufficient
men to keep the refrigeration going
remained on the job. by order of the
union. to protect the company against
any loss.
Secretary Treasurer Ed Anderson Of
the State Federation of Labor went
down to Pueblo, and it was largely
thru his good offices that n satisfac-
tory agreement between the striking
employees and Manager Nuckols was
reached. The men then returned to
work. Two discharged employees,
which had caused the strike, were re-
instatcd. and the plant is again opcr-
ating at full capacity. Conditions
similar to those which obtain in Den
yer packing plants were agreed upon.

Sheet Metal Workers

A joint good-fellowship meeting of
members of Sheet Metal Workers Un-
ion No. 8 and their employers was held
last Tuesday night. There were eats,
smokes, songs and stories, so that all
present had chance to play part.
The best Of good feeling exists be-
tween the members of No. 8 and their
employers, and this was nicely demon
strated by the get-together function
Tuesday night.

WHY We SAVE

Our allies depend on America
for food. They are our compan-
ions in the great war for democ-
racy and liberty. They are doing
the fighting, suffering and dying
in our war Their food produc-
tion has been greatly decreased.
They can have food enough only
if America provides it. We save
a little every day out Of our
abundance so that they may be
kept on the fighting line and in
the efactories-well-nourished to
continue the war until we our
selves can actively participate.

"ALittle Child Shall
Lead Them"

"HRISTMAS is the apotheosis Of
~ enfeeblement. 1t Is the exaltation
Of childhood. It is the glory Of
the little child.
We celebrate this festival in bleak
December, the uncrowned month in u
northern zone, lighting its dull skies by
the eternal fires of love in human
hearts.
There is not in all this land a home
where the rain beats through the roof,
where the mother and father gather
the children more closely to shelter
them, but the Christmas truth is shin
Ing, blessed are the poor"
There is not a homeless boy who in
the December night creeps out of the
snow into an empty dry goods box in
the alley, not a little fellow up under
the rafters of the poor house on the
county farm, not a founding left in q
basket at the rich mans door, not a
shivering, tiny girl untitled for a fight
with the storm, but the new truth Of
the Christmas spreads its wings over
them.
"When I am weak, then am I strong"
Who is weak? Who Is inf1rm upon his
feet and walks with a crutch? Who is
afraid of the northeast wind? Who
says: II am better; yes, T think I am
getting better. But somehow I do not
get my vigor back" Who leans up
against the bale of goods in the half
hidden counter and knows that she
came back to work too soon? Who
was born blind?
To all Of you the Christmas has it's
meaning. There never was a conqueror
like the child in the cradle. God hath
chosen the weak tAings to confound
the mighty. For 1000 years the his
tory Of the worlds civilization has
been the story of the gentler virtues,
the poem, the song and the triumph Of
suffering well. The race is not to the
swift nor the battle to Che strong. Ev-
cry letter of that sentence is ~eternally
true.
The grandest things that were ever
done on earth were done by men and
women who had the spirit of the child.
The sublimest work Of the Creator is
the sweet-faced little child. 1t is ev-
erything for the child, heaven please
all harvests, all gold, all schools, all
trade, all government, all the coming
better times. Christmas means, "And
q little child shall lead them."-Emory
