such a winter as they have not seen
for years, so far as snow and cold
are concerned. Little Rock had four
snow storms during Mr.. Veitch's stay
there, the last m bringing about Is
inches of snow. The snow was hailed
with glee by both young and old. The
young had their pleasure in snow

people were thankful on account of
the moisture it would produce, as
there had been a prolonged dry spell.
While the cold weather froze over
ponds. creating skating for the young
people, something rarely enjoyed in
that section, it caused intense suffer-

worst of the trouble in that section
is the fact that the people are i'm no
manner prepared for it. Their houses
are not built for cold weather and
many Of them have no heating stoves.

RED CROSS NOTES
SOCIAL AND PUBLIC
AUCTION TO BE HELD IN
NEAR FUTURE

The executive committee of the
Red Cross held a meeting yesterday
afternoon to lay plans for the raising
of additional money. 1t was decided
to hold a basket social in the high
school gymnasium on the evening of
February IL, Lincoln's birthday. Ev-
eryone is invited to attend this func-
ton and to bring a fat pockotboOk
and a willingness to bid and buy. La
dies are requested to bring baskets
which will be sold at auction, as is
the custom of this good old way of
raising funds. Miss Clara Fleming
ton, domestic science teacher Of the
high school. and her class in dOmes-
tic science will serve coffee along
with the lunch. After the lunch a
musical and literary program will be
held in the auditorium.
The committee in charge of the
basket social is as follows: Mrs. NJ.
+. Berther. Mrs. II. II. Frudenfeld,
Mrs. Claude Tyrrell, Mrs. Claude Nc
Adam and Miss Clara Pennington.
Another plan of raising funds was
discussed, that of holding a public
auction. 1t was decided to hold the
auction on Washington's birthday,
February %. This is a method that
has been used throughout the coun-
try and has proven successful wher-
ever tried. The merchants and farm
ers will be asked to donate any arti-
cles which they care TO. These will
be sold at auction, the proceeds to go
into the Red Cross fund. Several
hundred dollars should be raised by
this method. Plans for the auction
have not been completed. but a meet
ing will be held later this week al
which committees will be appointed
to formulate definite plans and tc
handle the affair.
The Red Cross is an institution
that should and must be supported
by all loyal citizens in all its endeav,
ors. The two coming events are
such that everyone can lend aid tC
make them a success, and it is hoped
that everyone who possibly can viii
attend both the basket social and tht
public auction.

DR.. Mead says: This corn is avail
able to farmers in small lots. if they
want it, but | ought to get more in
small lots than when sold by the car
load. Not an ear of it should go out
of South Dakota, but we have it to
sell. The Quincy Seed company is
pricing its seed corn at from 50 to
S12 per bushel."

NOTICE TO MILK USERS.

Beginning with February /, coupon
books will be sold u trade for cash
only, paid in advance, and in amounts
according to the amount of milk

the last of the month with a supply
of these tickets. After that date it
will be necessary to have your bottle

liverer, with a ticket in it-no bottle
and ticket, no milk. This plan is
necessary because of the large loss
of bottles and the great cost of max

About 1000 Philadelphia street car
men have been locked out for wear
ing their union button. This, Of
course. is not unusual, but the feature
of general interest is the fact that
1900 uniformed Home Defense Guards
were Immediately called upon for
duty, although there was not even
semblance of disorder. The move
ment to create this semi-nlilitary or
ganization did not meet with hearty
support on the part of the trades
union, and the wisdom of such an
attitude is now becoming evident. 1t
seems that it is the intention to use
the Home Defense Guard purely as a
strikebreaking agency supported by
the public's money.

AN ENDLESS VARIETY
CHIEF DEFENDS
A. f. OF l..

Acting president Shea of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Tiremen
and Enginemen cautions members of
that organization, employed by the
Pennsylvania railroad, against 9
small group of seeding car workers
who are interfering with the organ
ization of railroad shop men.
The railroad workers chief reminds
his associates that during our eight
hour movement the A. F. of L. stood
nobly by us and pledged its full sup
port. This, now, is the great oppor-
tunity for us to assist the A. F. Of L.
while at the same time rendering the
shop employees and ourselves great
service"
Shea denounces the attempt to di-
vide workers, and in opposing the
claims of cone big-union" advocates,
says:
"That such a system of organiza-
ton with it's diversity of interests is
ineffective in protecting the industrial
rights of workers the experience Of
the past has, time and again, demon
strated. For instance, the Knights of
Labor-based as it was on this prin-
ciple-failed, as did also the Amert-
can railway union. | am not in any
sense criticising the promoters OF
these organizations or questioning
their motives or sincerity, but simply
desire to point to them as clear de-
monstrations of the impracticabillty
of the principle Of promiscuous oc-
cupational membership on which they
were based.
con the other hand, the success
of individual craft organization, CO.
operation of craft unions under mu-
tually satisfactory plan of federation
has been demonstrated so repeatedly
that there is now absolutely no ques-
ton as to its being not only the best
but really the only system for band
ing workers together in way that
will insure effective protection for
industrial interests.
eve have today the various rail
road shop craft organizations and or
CARNATIONS of other railroad en-
ployes operating under the guidance
of, and affiliated with, the American
Federation of Labor, as the railwany
employees department of that great
federation. Then, cooperating with
this great combination Of federated
shop crafts and other organizations,
are our own four great train service
brotherhoods."

CAR SHORTAGE BLAMED

John P. White, labor advisor of the
United States fuel administration,
told delegates to the International
Railway Fuel association that car
shortage is keeping thousands of
miners idle nearly half the time in
most of the western and southwestern
coal fields. He said that the $1,000
miners of Illinois alone, who worked
only 100 days and mined 6O,OOO,OOO
tons, could get out 15O,O00,000 tons
this year if they could work full
time, which they are eager to do.
P. B. Noyes, director of the con-
servation division of the fuel ad-
ministration, said it was impossible
for the railroads, with their burden
of war traffic, to haul the 200,O0O,0OO
extra tons of coal that will be
needed.

RENT PROFITEERS HIT

Washington.-COngress has added
to its sensational acts since the war
by adopting a resolution which makes
it illegal to evict tenant while the
war lasts except where he commits
nuisance, fails to pay rent, or
where the landlord desires the house
for his own use. "Colored" sales are
also prohibited By this practice
landlords oust tenants on the plea that
the property is sold, and then charge
an excessive price, payable monthly,
to the new tenant.
In substance, the resolution sets
aside the "sacredness of contract" "
and even though a tenants lease has
expired he may remain in the house
at the rental formerly paid.
Adherents of strict constitutional
ism were aghast at this proposal, and
predicted all sorts of dire happenings
if this precedent was established.
Friends of the resolution called at
tention to the passage Of the civil
rights bill which suspended court
remedies against men in the military
service.
To support the claim that the gov
ernment has the right to stop evic-
tions it was stated that the due proc
ess clause of the federal constitution
has never been held to deprive the
state of the power of protecting the
welfare of its citizens, "even at the
expense of restricting and destroying
life, liberty and property"
"a hundred instances will readily
suggest Themselves" it was stated.

CAN'T EVADE DRAFT LAW

"Slackers who leave the country to
escape the draft law will be prose-
cuted under the selective draft act
on their return" says Attorney Gen
eral Gregory.
"When this struggle is completed,
such men, on seeking admission to
the United States, will find that it
will be necessary for them to stand
trial on indictments charging them
with violation of the selective serv-
ice act. These trials will be vigor-
ously prosecuted and the maximum
penalty provided by the act will be
urged upon conviction" he said.
at should also be clearly under
stood by the general public that
whoever assists another to escape
from this country to evade military
service, or whoever assists to main
tain in a foreign country one who
has fled there to escape military
service, is guilty of a violation of
the espionage act, and upon convic-
tion becomes liable to the full pen
alties imposed thereby"

Further restrictions on the amount
of wheat flour placed in bread loaves
are in prospect. Theodore Whit
marsh of the Federal Food Admins
tration, in speaking recently before a
meeting of bakers, said that only
one third of the normal supply of
wheat is available this year to last
to August /, and that the bread
dealers must adopt more stringent
measures to make the supply last.
A new method for conservation which
he put forward was that the bakers
prepare a twelve ounce loaf here
after, which he said, has been shown
by practice to save several pounds Of
flour in each barrel.

THE HIGH SEAS SALOON

In the case of Swan & Finch, con-
stituent company of the Standard Oil
Company, against the United States,
it was decided by the Supreme Court
of the United States that our laws do
not apply to the high seas beyond the
three-mile limit.
AS neither the federal nor state
governments can prevent the sale and
use of liquor outside this limit, in the
event that the national prohibition
amendment is ratified it cannot apply
to vessels anchored outside the wat
ers over which our laws have author
ity. There would therefore be no
possible way of preventing the esta-
blishment of huge floating barrooms
just outside the harbors on all our
coasts.
