and the type of farming it never
causes trouble in the cultivated fields.
1t has been more or less prevalent in
eastern Canada for many years but
duction of live stock and the land is
planted to hoed and grass crops. so
in eastern Canada the SOW thistle
never became n very serious pest.
The exact date of its. introduction
into western Canada is difficult to fix
because the plant was not known, and
is often mistaken for ,dandelion, SO
that it may have been present in
small patches for Il considerable time.
Between 1900 and 1906 it was first
recognized as Il weed, hut by this time
it had spread all over the Red River
valley. Even after this date it was
not thought to be a serious weed and
no effort was made to get rid of it.

We're needed to keep it under control,

n AS a result of this neglect
it's spread continued. until today the
Red River valley is completely in

districts in the west.
The result of it's spread in the Red
River valley should be a lesson to
other districts that are not infested.
They should profit by the experience
of the infested districts and use every
means at their disposal No get rid of
it. If this is to be done effectively,
everybody on the farm-man, woman
and child-must know the weed and
pull it up, leaves, stem inc root. In
an endeavor to make the weed known

inch long, dark brown in color, and
contains a number OF ridges running
lengthwise.
In the early stages Of growth the
perennial SOW thistle is often mis-
taken for blue lettuce, dandelion and
chickweed, as we'll as the annual SOW
thistle.
Sow Thistle the Greatest McnaSc:
While quack grass. mustard and
wild oats and such weeds are a great
menace, there is no question but the
sow thistle is much the worst. Such
weeds as were named, with heavy
seed, or which propagate by under
ground root-stocks may be considered
as personal property; that is, il they
are growing on the farm they stay
there unless carried away. The seed
of quack grass. mustard, ETC., may be
drifted around. to some extent in the
winter by the snow, or water in the
spring. but they do not blow about
in the air and travel for miles, as
does the seed of tSe SOW thistle.
The SOW thistle. because of its vigor-
Gus growth seems to choke out the
grains and cultivated grasses to a
greater extent than almost any other
weed. There is a prevalent notion that
in some way 1t poisons the land. How
ever, if the land on which SOW thistle
grows is cultivated in such a way as
to kill them out, the succeeding crops
are just as good or better than on
land not infested. so there seems to
be nothing to the notion that it
poisons the land. 1t is simply q ques-

one of the reasons why he broke

was because the officials of the

do so. Buss didn't make very
good witness for the prosecu-
ton.
The Coal and Steel Policeman"
The prosecution next presented
Herbert Smith, a lieutenant in the
famous Pennsylvania State Po-
lice, otherwise called coal and
steel police or the Black Cos
sacks of Pennsylvania. Smith
was neatly dressed but his tough
face and hard demeanor gave
ample evidence of the fact that
he had not won his lieutenant's
stripes in a swivel chair. Smith
testified that there were 10000
miners at Old Forge, Pa, and that
fully three quarters of them were
members of the |. w. w. Said
he had broken up many meeting
Of this organization and arrested
members without warrants of any
kind. To Attorney Vanderveer
he admitted that his purpose in
visiting such gatherings was not
to maintain law and order but to
dispense the meetings. Smith
modestly admitted that the Black
Cossacks' carry slug-shoxs, re-
volvers and thirty-inch riot sticks.
He also stated that with one or
two exceptions in his experience
of twelve years the Black Cos
sacks had been called together
for strike duty and that the bar
racks and headquarters of this
lovab'e bunch are in the four most
contested districts of the coal and
steel industries in the state.
Smith was not screaming sue
cess as witness for the prose-
cution. He testified that he had
seen as many as a dozen l. w. w.
anti-military stickers last summer
along fifteen mile highway.
Just before court adjourned for

Society is organized or disor-

agreeable things associated with
disagreeable occupations can be
shifted to the shoulders of GER
tain class of people. We call
them the working class. To
that class even many of the po-
tentially agreeable occupations
become drudgery, due to the So
cial stigma attached to them.
"If we had rational organiza-
ton of society very much of the
drudgery of today would be found
exceedingly interesting. You can
hire man to work in your gar
den for starvation wages, and the
work at once becomes disagree

when fortune smiles on you and
endows you with leisure and a

that you will put in your time at
the same occupation and it will
prove delightful
Disagreeable Work Should Receive
Highest Pay
IF it is necessary for the dis
agreeable duties of life to be shift
ed to certain shoulders, there
ought to be premium on that
particular work. If there is to
be a distinction in rewards and
honors the people who do the
most dista steful work of all
should receive the greatest re-
wards and the highest honors.
Why should be honored or paid
more than the ditch digger? So
ciety could worry along for some
time without it's engineers, but
it couldn't get along without it's
laborers."
DIR. Steinmetz was sitting in the

is fabulous, but there is no evil

that much of his income is spent
