Horticulture AND
FLORAL CLUB HERE
PLANS STARTED FOR BEAUTIFY-
ING THE CITY - ANOTHER
MEETING TO BE HELD

At a meeting held last evening at
the Public Library plans were LAID
for the starting Of horticulture and
floral Society here in the city. Ar
ranpements were made for another
public meeting to be held on Tues
day, April 9th. to which all of the
ladies clubs as well as the men Will
be urged to attend.
Flower Show
One of the important issues dis
cussed was the holding Of flower
show here in the city this summer.
Prizes will be offered for the best
displays of home grown flowers and
the contest will be open to everyone
in the city including children and
grownups.
F.. E. Hanyen stated, "that there
was no reason why Williston could
not raise enough sweet peas to sup
nlv all of the trains that pass through
the city and have Williston raised
flowers placed on all of the tables OF
the diners that pass through here.
No better advertisement can be had
for the city and we would become
noted for these flowers from Shanghl
China, to Paris, France"
In former years this idea has been
carried out to some extent and the
results have been surprising. Most
people and especially those that live
in the eastern part OF the United
States think that North Dakota is
nothing but a barren prairie where
nothing will grow but grass and
weeds. They are amazed when they
see what beautiful flowers grow here.
City Beautiful
'Many things can be done with a 9!
little effort to beautify the city,,
stated Chairman w. B. Overson, land
the first thing that should have at
tention is. the approach to the city
above the Great Northern Depot. The
square Just north Of the depot can
probably be fixed up and no doubt
the railroad will be willing to- assist
in this work. Trees should be plant
ed and it seeded with grass. A good
suggestion would be to have a large
flower bed running the entire length
of the plot in which the word Willis
ton was spelled out in flowers"
A. A. Bradley offered some, good
suggestions at the meeting in the
way of fixing up the boulavards and
of keeping the weeds and grass cut
from the streets of the city. He stat
ed that there was one citizen inter-
ested in this move who would pro-
cure for those who wished them,
shrubs, trees and flowers and furnish
them to the people at wholesale cost
In addition to this he has offered his
time in helping the people plant these
in the proper manner"
Here is an offer that is worth con-
sidering and should be grasped readily
by the people here.
Next Meeting
At the meeting which will be held
on April 9th. it is planned to have all
of the ladies aid societies, civic League
and ther womens clubs Of the city
present also good representation OF
men and delegates from the various
grades of the public schools. Talks
will be given by various local people
on subjects of vital interest at this
time. This move is good one and
should have the hearty support OF
every citizen and property owner OF
the city. 1t will help keep our city
healthy and be one of the best silent
advertisements that the city could
procure.

DESERVES A WHOLE SUIT

w. O. Hollar had letter from hs
friend Shawhan, back in 1ndiAna, the
other eday. We have been endeavor~
ing to get the Tight of reason TO shine
on him for some time and have re-
peatedly suggested that he come out
here and get Whit of that "Free-
dom of the West" that Foley writes
about. However he sticks to Indiana.
His local paper had a note about his
hat. They said he had it painted in
stripes, red, white and blue. BY

know enough to come out here after
many invitations should have an en-
tire suit with stripes on. .. .

CARE OF VACCINATED PIGS

CARE OF VACCINATED PIGS
Vaccination of hogs and their after
care is of considerable Importance to
the hog raiser. The following sug-
gestions will prove of value if atrictly
carried out.
Be careful to protect your vaccinat-
ed pigs from exposure to bad weather
for the first few days after being vac
cinated.
Pigs should be kept in clean, dry
quarters to prevent wound infection.
During summer months clean, dry
blue grass, alfalfa or clean pasture
makes a good place for newly vaccin-
ated pigs to run.
Avoid a pasture with wheat stub
BILE or mudwallows, as these may
cause abscesses.
For about two weeks after vaccin-
alton NO CORN should be fed, in
stead feed oats, shorts or middlings
with plenty of clean fresh water.

REASON FOR ACTION
STEEL WORKERS TELL WHY.
y STRIKE NOT PUT OFF.
EXPRESS SORROW 70 WILSON
informed Chief Executive That De.
lay Meant surrender-p Demands
Of Men, Made Known.

Pittsburg, Pa.-The steel workers
national committee made public here
a letter it sent to President Wilson,
giving eleven reasons why 1t could not
comply with his request to postpone
the steel workers strike until after
the industrial conference at Washing
ton, October g.
'.We regret that for the first time
your call upon organized labor cannot
! be met with favorable response" the
latter states.
III delay were no more than delay.
evet III the cost of loss of member
ship in our organization we would
urge the same to the fullest Of our
ability Notwithstanding the men are
firmly set for an immediate strike.
But delay here means the surrender OF
all hope"
Among reasons given why the
strike was called in addition to refusal
to grant conferences with the men,
are listed: Systematical persecution
of men recalling 1.-THE days Of Home
stead;;" denial Of assembly and free
speech without warrant Of law; al
legged killing Of union workers by
''hired detectives Of the steel Industry"
and intimidation of all showing SYM
pathy with men.
During the steel workers. conference
here last week speeches were made
against any postponement. It was de-
clared that neither President Wilson
nor others who favored postpone
ment were cognizant of the actual
conditions surrounding iron and steel
mills. 1t was claimed that workers
were eager for the strike; that thew
were Disseminated against for union
activities, and that the organized
workers would lose confidence in their
leaders if they turned back and de-
serted the men at this time.
The twelve demands Of the steel
workers are:
Right Of collective bargaining.
Reinstatement Of men discharged
for union activities
An eight-hour day.
One days rest in seven.
Abolition OF the twenty four-hour.

Increase in wages sufficient to
guarantee American standard Of liy-

disorder in the hall during the address
and the president spoke with apparent
difficulty against a hum Of talk in the
distant galleries. Once he stopped to
ask for closer attention, but the crowd
did not quiet down.
When he left the auditorium he was
cheered by a crowd which had blocked
the street for more than an hour. On
the way he passed along in a contin-
uous roar of applause and when he and
Mrs. Wilson entered the auditorium
the crowd stood up and shouted itself
hoarse.
