AND HOURS CONTINUE

LAREDO, Tex, Nov. z0.-Samuel
Gompsrs, president Of the American
Federation Of Labor, in the closing
hours Of the pan-Aneriean labor
conference here served formal warn

without bitter fight by organized
labor.
He issued statement inspired by
recent public utterances of William
n. Barr, president of the National
Founders association, that reduc-
ton Of wages and longer hours would
be the only means to enable Ameri-
can manufacturers to continue to
cope with foreign industrials after
the war.

can people will not be forced back

had been formed and Samuel Com
pers elected its chairman. The new

of the American Federation of Labor

cations Of other pan-American repub-
lies.

GRAFTON are the establishment Of bet
Ter conditions for working people
who eimigrate from one American
country to another; the establish
ment of better understanding among
the working people of all the Ameri-
cas-, and the utilization of every
means for the promotion and welfare
of the peoples Of these countries.
Each country will be entitled to at

A few simple guides for feeding

A few simple guides for feeding
may be summarized as follows:
|. Under most circumstances the
COW should be fed all the roughage
that she will eat up clean, and the
grain ration should be adjusted to
the milk production.
2. A grain mixture should be fed
in the proportion OF / pound to
each 3 pints or pounds Of milk pro-
duced daily by the COW. except In
the cast Of a COW producing a flow
Of 40 pounds or more, when the
ration may be | pound to each az
or 4 pounds of milk. An even bet
ter rule is l pound of grain each
day for every pound of butterfat
that the COW produces during the
week.
3. Feed all the COW will respond
to in milk production. When she
begins to put on flesh. cut down
the grain.

The p women now employed as COW
testers by some Of the 1853 cOw-testing
associations In this country not only
have done satisfactory work, but have
achieved results above the average, aC-
cording to dairy specialists Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture.
The main reason why women have
begun to do this work IL the scarcity
Of COW testers. Most Of the testers at
work when the wal began were young

So Uncle Wiggily hoped home, and
when he told his muskrat lady house

mice she was very glad.
That will be fine she said. 1T

So the invitations were sent out, and

Mr.. Cock Az Doodle, the rooster, gave
some of his extra tail feathers to put

The bed quilts were being nicely
made at the quilting bee, and every
one was talking about how warm the
poor church mice would be that win

besides board and lodging, Conveyance
to the next farm is furnished in some
associations, while in others the tester
provides her conveyance and the
farmers furnish free stable room and
feed for her horse.
The employment Of women as cow
testers came as a war measure. To
keep the work on a satisfactory basis,
women must continue to receive the
same pay as the men for the same
work. Occasionally there may be an
association In which it would not be
advisable for a woman to work, but
if such is the case, the fault is with
the association and not with the woman
cow tester.
How to obtain more testers Is a seri-
Gus problem. Partially disabled SOL
diers, In some cases., may. be induced to
take the necessary training and enlist
for the work. In some sections young
men below draft age have been en-
ploycd, and the results have been salts
factory. The most radical step, how
ever, and the one that promises the
most ~far-reaching and immediate re-
suits, is the employment Of women as
cow testers.
