STRIKE OF miners
Over 300 Delegates Here Ap-
prove A. F. L. Action; Many
Protest, One DiSsents.

With one dissenting vote the more
than three hundred delegates attend
ing the session of the Central Labor
Union last night, representing every
trade, craft and vocation of Washing
ton. gave their approval of resolutions
indorsing the action of the executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor, pledging moral and financial
support to the striking miners.
The one dissenting vote came from a
member of the resolution committee,
an employe of the local navy yard, VINO
made a minority report against the
resolutions. The resolutions direct the
secretary to forward copies to PreSl-
dent Wilson, members of the Senate,
House the mine workers and the press.
Conservatives Protest.
When President Harry Hollohan call
ed the meeting to order the big audi
torium in the hall of the American
Federation of Musicians, 1905 + street
northwest. was filled with men and
women. Following roll call Secretary
James introduced the resolutions.
Protests came thick and fast from
the more conservative. the basis OF
their opposition to the adoption of the
resolutions being that the executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor had registered the sentiment
of organized labor in pledging IN
dorsement and support to the miners.
The progresSiveS yielded to motion
of the conservatives to refer the mat
ter to the resolutions committee.
While that committee was considering
the resolutions the routine was re-
sumed. Later the resolutions commit
tee of three came in with two making
Il majority report for adoption with
one members disapproval. When the
Of
servatives offered various amendments
which were voted down and finally the
body stamped its approval on the res
olutions.
Proceedings Called Unwarranted.
Following Endorsement of the
American Federation of Labor's atti-
tude on the coal strike the resolution
says:
I'VE declare that the proceedings
tcour) in this case are unwarranted.
as they are unparalleled in' the his
tory of our country. and we declare
that it is an injustice which not only
the workers but all liberty-loving
Americans will repudiate and demand
redress. The citizenship of our
country cannot afford to permit the
establishment or maintenance of
principle which strikes at the very
foundation of justice and freedom. To
restore the confidence in the institu-
tons of our country and respect due
the courts this injunction snould be
withdrawn and the records cleansed
from SO outrageous proceeding.
Asserts Strike Is Justified.
"'By all the facts in the case the
miners strike is justified. We indorse
it. We are convinced of the justice
of the miners cause. We pledge to
the miners the full support of the
American Federation of Labor and
appeal to the workers and the citi-
Zenship of our country to give like
Endorsement and aid to the men en-
gagged in this momentous struggle
The last paragraph of the resolution
is taken literally from the declaration
of the executive council of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.

Stone Ace Theory plsproxed.

The means of manufacture at the
disposal of savages were so small that
psychologists were formerly Of opin-
ion that a stone ax must be the prod
uct Of the efforts not merely of one
generation but of several, being hand
ed down from father to son, and TAX
ing shape gradually. so that an imple-
ment begun by an individual might be
finished by his grandchild.
That this idea is pure nonsense was
proved by the late ]. ID. Mcclure Of
the United States bureau of ethnology,
who, developing n high expertness in
such work, made first-class axes In a
day or two, chipping them out of
hard stone and polishing them by rub
bing with sand and water. He even
produced sculptures in relief after the
pattern of those of ancient Mexico,
using no other tools than stone ham
mers for ''pecking" at the rock.
1t was the employment of tools, say
anthopologlsts, that made man what
he is. His brain was educated through
the use of his hands.

IN THE HOG LOT
important as Preventive Of Cholera
and Other Dlseases-cleaniines
10 Relied Upon.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The greatest drawbacks to the hog
industry that breeders in this country
have to contend with are the losses
through hog cholera, tuberculosis, and
the infestation of the animals, especial
ly young pigs, by parasites. Were it
not for the fecundity of swine their
profitable production in the presence
of these serious diseases would be out
of the question. In the following re-
marks on sanitation no attempt is
made to go into the details of the dis
eases affecting hogs or their treatment.
The object is merely to call attention
to the simple measures which may be
used by any farmer to avoid, to large
extent, the decimation Of MS herd by
epizootics. Cleanliness and rational
methods of management are relied up
on by thousands of farmers to keep
their herds in health and vigor. They
are the marks of the good farmer and
successful hog breeder.
Hog cholera and swine plague, both
highly fatal diseases characterized by
fever and heavy mortality, are so very
similar that the breeder may regard
them as identical so far as his practi-
cal management of the herd is con-
cerned. Positive differentiation be

GARDEN CLUB ENTERTAINMENT

The Garden club work in Glenwood
Springs has made progressive and
steady growth during its short exist
ence Of three years. In the year 1916
only six boys finished the club work.
In 1917 forty-two club members COM
pleted the work. In 1918 eighty-three
boys and girls were members of the
club.
On Friday, February IA, commencing
at O'Clock at the grade school gym
nasium, there will be an entertainment
and awarding of prizes to the boys and
girls who finished the club work. An
interesting program is being arranged
and the public is invited to attend
these exercises which will give the re-
suits of the last year and the plans for
the coming year.

Charm and Distinction.

Though the Hopi Indians are rated
by Powell as of the same linguistic
stock as the Shoshone, Ute and Co
manche, 1t is known definitely that
they nre composite people, with a
language in which are found Tanoan,
Piman and Keresan words. The Snake
clan came from the North, possibly
from the same stock as that which
once peopled the great Mesa Verde
rock houses. The Bear clan came
from the eastward undoubtedly Of the
people from which came the later-day
settlements of the upper Rio Grande
valley In New Mexico. Most interest
ing from a local point of view Is the
determination that the Water House
(PatkD and Squash (Patun) clans
came from the southwark, from "the

BETTER GARDENS

Food Situation of World Demands
Increased Consumption of
Fresh Vegetables.
MUCH LAND YIELDS NOTHING
Reople In Cities, Towns and Villages
Urged to Increase Their Efforts
During Coming Year to Help
Food Supply.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
No less than one-fifth of the total
food elements consumed by the people
of this country is obtained from COM
mercial and home vegetable gardens.
Under the present food situation of the
world, the tendency and the need in
this country is to increase the con-
sumption Of fresh vegetables.
Back Yard Gardens.
Americas cities, towns and villages
almost without exception are full of
large back yards and vacant lots that
have yielded little or nothing. We
have taken pride, too, in our spacious
home grounds, but have given little
thought to turning them to account.
Now, the food situation demands that
every foot of ground suitably located
be made to produce to its utmost ca
pacity. City people have responded
heartily In carrying out the govern
ments program to use such back yards
and vacant lots for gardens. Yet a
survey made In a number of cities
where such gardening was carried on
intensively shows that less than one
half of the available land has been
utilized. As commercial gardeners can
not under present labor conditions
raise enough vegetables to supply the
demand In our cities, towns and vii
lagos, it is urged that people in cities,
towns and villages increase their eff
forts during the coming year.
Better Home Gardens.
The extension forces of the depart
ment of agriculture and of the state
agricultural colleges are using all
means at their command to bring about
the raising of more and better home
gardens in 1919. Hundreds of county

Pigs kep. Under Sanitary Conditions

tween the two diseases can only be
made by the most careful bacteriolog-
ical tests, and by employing the assist
ance offered by fully equipped lab
oratory. However, sanitary preventive
methods which are found beneficial
with one Of these diseases will prove
equally efficacious with the other.
There are few fundamental facts
which the breeder must remember If
he is to avoid losses through hog chol
era or swine plague. The first is that
they are specific diseases caused by
germs, and the contagion cannot be
spread from one animal to another or
from one herd to another except
through the agency of these minute or
ganisms. They may be carried In
multitude of ways-by the hogs them
selves, on the clothing of persons, on
vehicles, in feed, by birds, dogs, and
other animals. or by streams. The
breeding or feed of n hog cannot cause
either disease, although bad methods
may so weaken the constitution and vi
tality that the animal becomes more
susceptible to them than would other
wise be the case. Since these diseases
can only arise from the presence of
their specific causative agents, 1t can
readily be seen that dentititon and the
presence of supernumerary teeth or
black tusks cannot, as has been sug-
gesfed by many, play any part in their
development. A second fact to be borne
In mind Is that diseases caused by
germs may be best prevented or con-
trolled by thorough disinfection and
scrupulous cleanliness.

SINCERITY SHOWN IN LIFE
Venerable Declaration That Faith
Without Works Is Of No Avail
Remains True.

An author tells us Chat sincerity is
the supreme virtue; but that sincerity
is not expressed in words-only in
real life. The venerable declaration
that faith without works Is dead is
true. And one will see an illustra-
don of the fact on every side every
day. The fact is the world does not
live what it believes. We noted In a
book the other day that there would
be little. If any, controversy If men
said what they thought and felt. This
is surely true Men differ as soon
as they appeal from the spirit to the
intellect. This Is because the spirit
deals with the fundamentals and the
intellect with the details. Sincerity
belong to the former. 1t is more than
an opinion. 1t is bigger than stand
point. 1t Is where sincerity gets its
influence, which Is the still, small
voice that comes out of the whirlwind
that roars around every mans life.
But we should remember that sim
ceritr is not concoction, but vir-
tue, as real as a mothers love. They
tue, ms real as mothers love. And
don't mistake sincerity for consis-
tency. They may be acquainted, but
they are not related.-Ohio State

LIEUTENANT aoETTE
IS HOME AGAIN

Bob Goette, as he is known to his
friends here Lieutenant Goette of the
balloon service now, arrived in the city
yesterday and is at the home of his
uncle, Austin Corcoran. Friends of the
young man will be glad to know that he
is to remain here, taking up his old
work with the telephone company.
Lieut.. Goette spent fifteen months in
service with the Texas Expedition
ary forces," as the members of his Ill
vision said. He won his commission
through training in ground school in
Omaha and through ground and flight
work in Texas.
The young mans work lay chiefly
with the telephone, the most important
part of ballooning. The wires are car
ried with the balloon, paid out of a
reel as the machine goes up. During his
service he was in the air most of the
time, his longest flight being one of
170 miles, made in six hours.
Life in the balloon service, Lieut.
Goette said, is full of interest, even
when 1t does not 90 farther away from
home than Texas.
However, like most of the returned
soldiers, he says he is glad to be at
home again and is ready for civilian
life.-Grand Junction News.

Seem TO HAVE HIDING PLACE
Just Where Do Facts 90 That One

AfterWard Remembersf

One of the odd things about what
We call loss Of memory is that 1t IL
catching. How often when one
person forgets a name well known
to him does his companion. to whom
1t is equally well known, forget 1t, too.
Why is that?
The other day l had en- excellent
example of this odd epidemic. 1t was
necessary tcr the name of a certain
actor-not star, but versatile
repertory actor of much distinction
to be recalled in order that a letter
to him might quickly be dispatched.
/ had forgotten his name, but l de-
scribed him and his methods with
sufficient accuracy for every one
(there were about six of us) to recog-
nize him. Some of us could even say
in what parts we had seen him and
compare notes as to his excellence,
and yet his name absolutely eluded
one and all. Why? We all knew it;
why did we unanimously fail to know
1t then?
We parted intent upon obtaining
this necessary information. On meet
Ing again the next day each of US had
1t pat enough, and it had broken upon
each, more or less suddenly, during

The great mystery to me Is,
where are the things one forgets, but
suddenly will remember again, while
one is forgetting them? Where are
they lurking? This problem of their
whereabouts, their capacity to hide
and elude, distresses me far more
than my inability to call them from
the vastly deep of the brain. Or are
they, perhaps, not there at all? Do
they not, perhaps, have evenings out,
times off for lunch and so forth, and
thus we sometimes miss them? Or
can there perhaps be some vast extra
mural territory of the memory from
which facts have to be obtained-as,
If one would consult reference books,
one must wait until the volumes can
be secured? The fact that they always,
or nearly always, return, sooner or
later, rather supports these theories.

Before the lamb is given the teat
the ewes flunks and udder should be

WINTER GARDEN FOR SOUTH
Furnishes Family With Supply Of
Needed Green Foods-Various
Crops to Grow.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
Something in the form of green vege-
tables may be had from the outdoor
garden every day of the winter months
Southern states. Perhaps II may be
nothing more than turnip green's or
dish of boiled kale, but it serves the
purpose of giving the family much
needed green food and puts iron into
the blood. There is perhaps no vege-
table more delicate or appetizing than
the universally grown collards of the
Southern gardens. Fall-planted spin
ach may be cut at any time during
the winter. even when the ground may
be slightly frozen, and 1t may be nee
essary to plunge the freshly cut
spinach into cold water to remove the
frost.
Certain Of the more hardy varieties
of lettuce. like Big Boston, can be
grown during the winter with slight
protection by means of straw or boards
set at an angle on the north side of
the row. Onion sets will give an
abundance of early green onions for
table use. There are quite a number
of crops that will make a slow growth
during the winter and furnish a con-
stant supply Of green food for the ta-
ble. Get the garden habit and keep
