Plans Of Organized Workers.

Big business has spoken and said
nothing to help us back to peacetime
conditions and the new day. On the
contrary it has warned us to expect its
worst possible-a raid on the organ
ization workers. The president has
spoken and has said nothing. Con.
gress as whole has said nothing and
done nothing for reconstruction. From
all parts Of the nation, however, come
definite programs adopted by organ
ICED farmers and organized workers
that express the spirit of the new
times and offer real solutions to our
pressing problems of employment and
living.
The practical agreement of the pro.
grams, whether they come from Chi.
cago, New Jersey, California, or Non;
partisan league convention in st. Paul
or a Grange convention in Syracuse,
N. Y, is eloquent proof that the com:
mon people are more alive to what the
country needs than the supposedly
more intelligent classes.
Washington Labor Speaks.
One of the latest of these programs
is that brought out by the Washington
State Federation of Labor. Under
the instructions of the executive coun.
Gil, the president of that body sent the
following night letter to President
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor under the date of November
20:
Executive council of Washington
State Federation of Labor instructs me
to urge that you publish full plans of
American Federation Of Labor for re-
construction and request that you
make it conform as far as possible to
that Of the British workers. We sug-
gest that you include such measures
as:
First Government ownership of
railroads and all utilities.
"Second-Continued control of food
prices to prevent further prof1teering
and to enforce reduction in existing
prices when opportune.
"Third-Resist any reduction in ex.
listing wage and work standards.
Fourth -Re-enactment of child
labor law.
"Fifth-Maximum eight-hour law.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says a well.known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts Of
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con-
stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid.
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces Of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in = glass of water
before breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous

and lemon juice, combined with lithia,

We are not given to boasting but
we are proud of the farmer BOYS Of
this vicinity. They are, with rare ex-
ceptions, a healthy, intelligent and
happy class of young men. We feel
like taking our hat clear off when we
meet them upon our streets, ard no
class is more welcomed to our Office.
Too many boys leave the farm where
they would have made substantial
and good citizens, and go to the city
where only one in thousand succeed
in life's battle. There are farmers
who drive their boys away. There
is no excuse for this. The farmer
boy is entitled to his vacations, to
several relaxations, his visits to the
city, good books, magazines and his
home paper. To the observing one it
is plain to be seen that the old farm
is the best place in the world for the
average young man and never fails
to bring a happier and more usefu
life than the city. Young man, ycr
who till the soil and earn your breat
by the sweat Of your brow, we arr
proud of you; our latchstring is al
ways out to you and you will always
have a friend in this paper. Come
and see us and give us the news from

self once more. He has had lot of

a great deal better now. While in he
let us have a look at a Christmas
card he received from j. w. Shawhan,
Elwood, Indiana. Mr.. Shawhan is
quite an artist and we always enjoy
seeing his artistic productions. This
card was one showing w. O. out rah-
bit hunting and carrying several in
his right hand. He has better opin-
ion of w. O.'s Workmanship than we
have-perhaps he could hit them but
just between ourselves | believe all
he would have in his right hand
would be his nit. And at that--we
doubt if Mr.. Shawhan ever saw a
jack rabbit or knows theye wright
if he did he would hardly figure on
carrying five or six in the right hand.
Nothing doing.
Mr.. Shawhan mentioned that he
sent the editor card. 1t must have
been lost on the way or-maybe they
are laughing over it and others yet
in his P. o. and it will come later
We nevertheless appreciate his re
membrance and the spirit which
prompted the sending of the Greet
