Telegram to President

In reply to your letter of yester- day, allow me to say that this company has done it's very utmost since the be- ginning of the war to assume it's full share of responsibility to the govern ment and to the public and that in order to still further show it's sincerity and earnest desire to be of service at this time of national trial, we cannot but respond to your request that we waive during the war our right to dis charge employees who join a union and you may rely upon our doing so.'
 MT. Carlton announced tonight that the directors of the Western Union, after considering a petition from their Chicago employees, were prepared to aid in the formation of an association of is employees to give them "indi- vidual protection against petty tyran- nies' and the "impelling voice of collective bargaining" ITO this end" said Mir. Carlton,' the company to- day issued notices to all it's employees suggesting that they organize such an association by sending electors to a convention to be held in Chicago July 10.

Are Not Fighting Union

We are not fighting any union, Mir. Carlton said in a statement. The whole question was whether or not the Western Union was right in dis charging men who We thought vio- lated their working agreement by joining an organization which em- ploys the strike.
 We say they shall not join union that employs a strike, but if they be- lieve that gives them protection, we have got to give them some equal 'or better protection without the jeopardy of the strike and with the right of collective bargaining.
 This is not a plan for fighting any union. but an effort to give our people what they are entitled to and what they have never had A function of the proposed asso- citation, MT. Carlton said, would be the administration of the pension and sick benefit fund created by the com Dany.

corning Story

A dispatch from Stockholm
says that Emperor William has
abdicated his throne.
Secretary Lansing has this to
say concerning the report:
Unless we know in whose
favor the kaiser is abdicating
the story has no significance
whatever. If it is simply set
ting up one of his sons in his
place the situation would not be
changed i'll the least, but if he
abdicates in favor of Democrat
ic Germany it would mean some
thing" "
It is also reported that Aus

It is true the German border
is yet a long distance away, but
the past two day chase has ma
terially decreased the width Of
the area separating the invaders
from their own Rhine line. All
along the front British, French
and American Forces have been
pressing steadily onward, taking
numerous towns and villages and
prisoners by the thousands.
Thursday an American bomb
ing expedition, consisting of
more than $50 air machines,
dropped thirty-tive tons of ex-
plosives on German cantonments
while not one of our machines
was lost. There were bombing
airplanes, pursuit machines and
triplanes working side by side
for hours while the enemy suf-
fered seriously.
While the Germans are being
beaten back at every point, the
Kaiser is working for peace.

Of such small attendance, caused
by the epidemic, orders have
been gong out from county
authorities to discontinue all

from State Health Officer Leath-

closed at once.
Of the thirty-five cases of in
fluenza reported in Stone County
it is said by proper authorities
that there are none so serious to
cause alarm, although some of
those affected have had a severe
case. Unless the situation takes
a serious turn Stone County will
probably survive without a
death.
At Bond it is reported that pot
more than half a dozen cases Of
influenza had been found up to
last night none of the cases ap-
peared to be of serious nature.

GET READY FOR
YOUR GARDEN
Hot Beds Help to an Early Start
in the Production Of
Garden Crops
USE CARE MAKING HOT BEDS
Manure Must Be Just Right II the
Gardener Is to Get the Results He ii
Looking for, Vigorous Growth d
Early Plants.

January is the month for startine
early tomato and caulifiower and lei.
tuce plants, and the best way OF grow.
ing them is in hot bed.
Save the horse manure, turning Il
occasionally to prevent overheating
and to insure even heating thruout Tia
mass. Let considerable litter be mixed
with the manure, the usual bedding
and manure as 1t comes from the stalls
is in excellent condition for hot beds.
Never use manure from cattle in hot
bed making; it does not heat enough
to be of use.
Use leaf mould, or surface soil from
the woods with thoroly decayed ma
nure as hot bed soil; if this can NOT
be had use the richest available gar
den loan.
For January hot bed excavate 4
pit about eighteen inches deep In a
well drained place with southern ex.
posture, protected from north and west
winds. Make the pit six feet wide and
twelve feet long, fit frame Of boards
to it, making the frame eighteen
inches high on the north side and
twelve inches on the south side, the
ends slanted, and nail scantlings from
back to front every three feet for ths
sash to rest on.
Have the manure steaming when i
Is ready for the pit. Put it In layers,
tramping each layer firmly, so that,
when filed, the pit contains eighteen
inches of we'll tramped manure. The
manure should be damp; If dry when
placed in the frame 1t will be neces
sary to moisten 1t well to start the
heat. Buy hot bed sash three by six
feet In size, with not more than four
rows of glass. Keep sash on frame,
after filling with manure, few days
before soil is put in, to aid in starting
heat; If the manure is in good heat
when placed in the frame the soil may
be added at once Spread five inches
of soil evenly over the manure, cover
with the sash and keep closed until
the highest heat passes, usually ten
days, when bed may be sown.
The important things in hot bed
management are protection from freez
ing CASUALLY provided by boaIaT -
placed over the sash in coolest Fathsl
er, and manure packed against the
frames), airing, and watering.
Unless air is freely given, the plants
will be slender and siekly. Even IN
cold weather, the sash may be lifted
half an inch or less during the warn.
est part of the day, and whenever the
temperature is above As degrees, afr
should be given freely Care must oe
taken to close the beds before the
plants chill in the evening. In zero
weather, of course, the beds must ie.
main tightly closed.
The rule for watering is to give
thoro wetting when needed, rather
than a,slight sprinkling at frequent IN
