HELLO GIRLS STRIKE
Horton Citizens Back Them Up and
Threaten Telephone Company.

Horton, Kan, May IA state of
war exists here between large por-
ton of Horton residents and the
Northeast Telephone Co. Whether &C
tuaI hostilities develop remains to be
seen.
The situation is a result of the
strike OF ten girl operators employed
by the company here They demand
higher wages and shorter hours. Their
cause was espoused by the local rail-
road shopmen's union, which has
large membership, and following a
parade in which more than 500 per-
sons took part, an ultimatum was ad
dressed to the company declaring that
unless the demands of the strikers
were met, residents of Horton would
proceed to have their telephones ia
ken out
The affair has stirred up the COM
munity more than anything of the
kind in years. The strike so far has
proceeded according to Hoyle.' The
operators walked out at noon, and the
company imme diately imported strike
breakers from nearby towns Within
a short time after they walked out the
operators received word from the
shopmen's union that moral support
would be forthcoming
The strikers demand a wage in
| crease to $50 a month for a day of
six hours and three quarters. They
now receive S35 for day of nine
hours. The company has offered to
pay them $40 a month for a nine-hour
day, with two recess periods of fifteen
minutes morning and afternoon They
also promise them a weeks vacation
each year with full pay.
The Northeast Telephone company
is a corporation of which ]. j. Stew
ems of Hiawatha, is president, c. r.
Stocking of Hiawatha is district man
ager. and the company maintains
plants in the following towns in this
vicinity: Highland, Robinson, Morrill,

In Shakespeare time, if you were
sick and went to a doctor he did one
of two things. He either bled you, or
"physicked" you.
Physicians no longer practice bleeding.
And the leaders of the profession are
equally opposed to the indiscriminate
use of laxative and catharic drugs. In
fact, the habitual use of laxatives is
now known to be one of the most
fruitful causes of constipation.
Physicians of the highest standing
prescribe Nujol because it relieves
constipation without any bad after
effects and without forming habit. Ii
acts in effect as an internal lubricant,

in the season, for the frost damages
them but little. Beans will have to
wait until later. Bects. carrots. ruta-
bagas. parsnips and onions can all be
planted rather early in the season
without danger from frost. However,
with these the ground must be warmed
up before they arc planted or the seed
will not terminate properly. Small
crops such as lettuce and rashies can
be planted in between the rows of
peas or beans and he harvested before
the latter crops have had time to ma
ture.
Several Crops.
There are some crops that need sew
eral paintings for they are in con-
slant use during the summer months.
Among these are radishcs, lettuce and
peas, for the radishcs get pithy, the
lettuce coarse and the peas only bear
for certain length OF time. 1t Is well
to plant successive cropping Of these
about two or three weeks apart.
Such plants as cabbage. cauliflower
and tomatoes needs must be started
indoors II they are to be successfully
grown. Tomatoes can be planted in
small boxes and kept in the kitchen or
dollhouse, transplanted once or twice
and then set out. 1t is safe to trans
plant tomatoes even after the first
blossoms have started. II there is a.
greenhouse in the neiGhborhood it is
generally safer and better to buy
these plants than to try and raise
them. unless the garden Is on too
large a scale for such a procedure.
In some parts Of the state good
watermelons, cucumbers and musk
melons arc grown but as rule such
crops are not planted until late in
the season.

SNUG FIT OF COLLAR
BIG HELP TO HORSE
Wearing Surface Must BE
Perfectly Clean-Should
Be Well Scraped.

=. AT this time of the year. when plow-
ing is going on in some parts Of the
state and everywhere the farmers arc
getting ready for spring activity, it is
OF great Importance to look to the
harness and see that it is all in good
condition. The collar is by long odds
the most important part of the har-
ness, for it is with the collar that the
horse does the heavy work. Look over
the collars and fit them to the horses
before the heavy work begins. To fit
correctly collar should be neither too
tight nor too loose. 1t should fit snug
~ over the shoulders. so that there
is room for the hand between the bot =
tom of the collar and the horses neck.
II the collar is too tight it will make
the shoulders sore. If the collar fits
properly there is no call to use pad
for the leather resting against the
neck is better for the horse than the
cloth of pad. Sec that the wearing
surface of the collar is absolutely clean,
and every night when the work Is over,
scrape it thoroughly. There should
be an individual collar for every horse.
which should never be changed. The
collar adapts itself to the neck of the
animal, and as the shoulders OF no two
horses are eactly the same, it is best
to have collars for all the work ami
mails. 1t is a good plan to thoroughly
soak the collar before it is used for tho
first time and to put 1t on the horse
while still damp. A damp collar will
fit itself to a horses shoulders more
easily than one that is dry and when
it dries 1t win retain the desired shape
to conform with the animals shoulders.
1t is very necessary that the collar be
we'll cleaned every night. for particles
Of dust and sweat harden during the
night and prove irritating the following
day, thus bringing about sore shoul-
ders To harden the horses shoulders
wash every night for the first few
weeks with a solution Of salt and wa.
ter. Care Of the collar and the shoul-
ders will be repaid by the absence OF
collar gals.

Questions and Answers
Conducted in The Muscular Every Week Under the d.
recton Of H. P. Griffin, Formerly of the Faculty of
Montana State College,

Question--How long after a rooster
is put in with a bunch of hens will it
be before the eggs are fertile? Like
wise how long after he is taken from
the hens will the eggs be fertile? How
long can eggs be kept between laying
and sctting?--J. c. A., Fort Benton.
Answer-The time It requires for a
cock bird to fertilizc eggs varies some-
what, but u week to 10. days is gener-
ally required for eggs to be fertile after
the male bird is placed with the dock.
There are many instances OF shorter
times than this. but to say 10 days Is
to be On tho safe side. The answer to
second question is the same. eggs will
be fertile from a week to 10 days
after the male bird is removed. and in
some cases as long as two weeks. 1.
is always best to set the eggs Just as
soon as possible after they have
been laycd. However. two weeks
should be the limit, if a good
hatch is expected. Some fair
matches have been reported where
eggs have been kept three weeks. but
as a general rule the chicks from such
matches are lacking in vitality, the
germ becomes weakened by its long
inactivity.
