Local Union Decides Not to A.
" fiiate with Trade Lnion
League.

:; Painters Union No. 106, at it's meet
ing last Tuesday night, refused to
affiliate with. the Minnesota Trade
Union league; an organization formed
for the purpose of opposing the pro-
hfbition movement and the adoption
OF the dry amendment next November.
A. communication was received from
the leagues headquarters at Mime
apolis stating the object of the league
and requesting the Endorsement of the
painters. After a short discussion a.
motion to lay on the table was
adopted.
Three amendments to the constitu-
ton of the International brotherhood
were considered. That providing for
an increase in the salaries of the in
ternational officers was defeated; the
proposal to increase the per capita
tax from 80 to IS cents was approved,
and the proposition to transfer $4O,-
600 from the general fund to the
death and disability fund was in
dorsed. All the local painters unions
are voting on these amendments
Congressman c. B. Miller again
communicated with No. 106, in re-
gard to universal military training,
giving several reasons why he fav-
! ored the adoption of such legislation
and why he considered. it the most
democratic method of recruiting an
army.
The proposal Of the executive coun-
| Gil of the State Federation of Labor

KEEP HENS and
HAvEFRESH EGGS
Government Encouraging Back
Yard Poultry Raising on
Small Scale.

Uncle Sam expects you to keep
hens and raise chickens, even though
you do reside in a city.
Two hens in the back yard for each
person in the house will keep a fam
lily in fresh eggs. The smallest back
yard has room for flock large
enough to supply the house with eggs.
The cost Of maintaining such a flock
is small.
Table and kitchen waste provides
much of the feed for the hens and
they require but little attention. An
interested child, old enough to take a
little responsibility, can care for a few
fowls as well as grown person.
Every back yard should contribute
its share to bumper crop" of poul-
try and eggs in 1918. Perhaps not all
will find it profitable to raise chicks
in town, but nearly everyone can we'll
keep a few hens
The house for the backyard flock
should be inexpensive. A piano box
or other large boxes may readily be
converted into suitable residence
for the. hens, and the runs may be
very small.
: " Good hens, well cared for, will pro-
duce from 10 to Is dozen eggs an
nually. Buy few hens and start in
at once.

backyard poultry keeping write the

NO ELECTION TO
CONSIDER CHANGE
OF GOVERNMENT
Law Upon Which Superior Peti-
lions Are Based Declared
Unconstitutional.

Unless it is ordered by the courts
there will be no election to determine
the question of changing Superior's
form Of government from the present
commission form to one embracing a
mayor and ten commissioners, one
from each ward. This decision was
announced Monday morning by Mayor
j. S. Konkel, following the receipt of
an opinion on the constitutionality Of
the socalled Bradley act, given by
H. V. Gard, corporation counsel
The Bradley act gave authority for
the proposed change in the form of
government and in accordance with
its provisions, two separate petitions,
asking for the election, have been cir
culated and filed with the city clerk.
The first petition was rejected on
grouncs Of it's insufficiency and action
on the second has been delayed pend
ing the decision which has now been
announced by the city attorney.
That the Bradley act is special leg
islation, intended to effect the amend
ment of a special charter granted to
the city of Superior, and as such, is
in violation of an amendment to the
state constitution passed in 1892, is
the groun given by the city attorney
for advising that an election be not
held.

NsTock PRICES FLucTUATED
But Operations Were Confined to Re-
 cognized Leaders.

New York, April 16.-On further increase in operations, confined, how ever, to the recognized leaders, today's stock market added one to two points to yesterdays gains. Prices reacted, however, after short covering had run it's course.
 War news was mixed when not ob- scure, but the net result seemed to favor the long account, chiefly because of the markets technical position. An other slump in the cotton market was not without it's sentimental value. U. s. Steel contributed about 25 per cent. to the days total, closing at a slight net gain after having yielded a point. Pools were a little more ven- turesome. especially in minor special ties such as American Ice common and preferred, Malting Common and preferred, Linseed preferred, Ameri- can Can and the tobaccos, but in those issues early gains suffered variable impairment.
 Chino was the only metal issue to manifest more than slight strength, and motors, oils and shippings reacted to points, General Motors, how ever, making up the greater part of it's 12 point decline.
 The movement in rails was unus- udAS Nl4 lpSui INSdul1lo ollu Ocl- = nadian Pacific featuring the invest ment group at net recessions of 9-4 and l IA points, respectively. Sales amounted to 360 900 shares. Spanish exchange at a premium of almost SO per cent. was the only fea- ture of the market for foreign bills. Bonds were barely steady, Liberty issues tending higher, with moderate reactions in the international divis- ion. Sales, par value, aggregated $4,- 23O,0o0.

ist the tire companies set about to evolve a tire that would permit the motor truck to graduate from the slow-moving field to which it was con fined by its solid rubber tire equip ment. Pneumatic cord tires make practical certain phases of motor truck operation which formerly were out of the question.
 In heavy truck service they save materially in gasoline and oil consump- l tion. They greatly cut truck depreci- ation and practically remove all dan ger of load breagage. They permit speeds which with any other type of tire equipment would be expensive and l indeed perilous. And they allow the transportation of heavier loads on 1 lighter chasses.
