London.-The Industrial unrest prev

ing serious anxiety, not only to large
employers OF labor, but even to con-
sentative labor leaders. The LABOR
leaders taking this attitude include J.
II. Thomas, general secretary OF the
Railwaymen's union, who warned a
meeting OF postal workers who were
demanding 4 42-hour week, more hoii-
DAYS and curtailment Of night work,
that 1.-The industrial and economic po-
s;tion Of this country gives cause for
alarm"
Demand Shorter Hours
The postal workers are only one OF
many trade unions which are demand
ing shorter hours with the present or
better pay. Up to this time the de-
mands Of the miners have been EN-
bodied in the resolutions of the South
port Miners Federation, who demand
ed that the government demobflize all
miners in the army and that wages
other than war wages be advanced 30
per cent.
The attitude of the miners has
caused the most comment as coal and
Its price more directly affect the pub
lie. 1t Is estimated that to grant ~
per cent increase in wages would send
the price Of coal up at least dollar a
tn.
In addition to the miners, the ship
builders on the Clyde and in other
centers are agitating for 40-hour
week, with daily wages Of fl. The men
engaged in the same industry in Bel
fast threaten to throw down their
tools unless they get 44-hour week.
The carpenters throughout the United
Kingdom are esking for 41-houi
week. and the iron molders, who re-

strike unless this Is lowered to A

The dock labOrers are putting forth
a demand for Al hours for day work

They are also much agitated over the
shortage of beer and the poor quality

There has been q temporary shortage
Of beer at some shipping points due

DROP THE TERM "WOODLOgy
Government Authorities Favor the
Word woodland" When Used in
Reference to Farm Forestry.

The increased interest in private
forestry, particularly with reference
to farm forestry. has brought about
the general acceptance of the term
woodland" or "woodS" instead of the
original one Of "woodlot," according
to the forest service.
A large proportion of the woodland
in the eastern United States is in ir-
regularly shaped tracts, spreading out
over ridges, ravines. slopes. swamps,
and poor lands, whereas "woOdlot"
carries the idea of n small-sized, reg
ularly shaped, and, In a large section
of the country, fenced tract. When
applied to the large or irregularly
shaped tracts. it is obvious that the
word inadequately describes the con-
ditions. "Woodlot" probably origin
ated in New England and seems fairly
well established there. SO long as on
ly conditions like those in New Eng
land were considered. "woodlot" wag
accepted as adequate, but in the last
few years farm forestry has been de-
veloping rapidly throughout the coun-
try.
woodland" and woods" are more
satisfactory, more expressive, and
avoid the possibility of creating con-
fusion in the minds of the people over
most sections of the country where the
word ''wOodIots" has never been in To-
cal use.

Many plows, even those that have
been well covered with oil or axle
grease, fail 30 scour readily when first
taken into the field The follow ing
method is being used by many farmers
to overcome the inconvenience attend
ing the use of pillow that fails to clean
off quickly; The pillow is taken to the
nearby branch or creek and drawn q
few times through the sand or gravel
beds that invariably are found along
water courses. 1t usually takes but
few turns to cut Off the rust or hard
ened grease Under no circumstances
does the sand stick to the pillow, no
matter how rusty 1t may be and if the
gravel does not contain large stones
the pillow will not be dulled.

Passed the Test.

A young man from our town had
gone into a training school as an auto
mobile mechanic. In one of their
tests an automobile was taken apart
and it was his duty TO assemble each
part to its respective place. He had
done this with the exception Of one
piece, which was missing and which
he could not find. The c. o. told this
young fellow that II was up to him to
get this piece, 81, taking his superior
officer al h!s word. he proceeded 70
take the missing part from the com
handing officers own car and he was
one of four out of class Of 100 who
passed the test--Chicago Tribune.

Cherry swung past him with the
mail pouch over her shoulder, laughing
softly, her eyes filled with mischief.
After the express had passed on, and
he carried in the new pouch, he helped
her while she sorted the mail, hum
ming to herself, not love song but
one of the range riders ballads he
had taught her.
And suddenly she paused. holding in
her hand letter addressed to Mr..
Walter X. RamSdell. There was also
large and promising catalogue for
him. He opened them obviously, but
with a grim determination to his
mouth and jaw Cherry read the let

pleasantly. as she drew her pencil
through "Dear Madam"
Walt resented her air Of aloofness
and lack of curiosity. He hauled out
a pigskin wallet and extracted a yell

"Send it now and get it there this
afternoon. I don't care what it costs
Any corrections to suggest?'
Cherry's blue eyes looked him over
slowly, in one sweeping summary of
his apparent shortcomings as an ideal
sutton. and shook her head aggravat-
ingly, with a certain little curl to her
short upper lip. Some months previ-
ously she had been courted assidu-
Ously by Mr.. Ramsdell, and being the
only attractive and desirable girl in a
radius of forty miles she had failed to
take his offer at its proper valuation
Walt waited grimly until she had dis
patched the message, then rode away
with a new aggressive tilt to his hat
and a sinking feeling in his heart at
the desperate step he had taken.
In the days of waiting for his an

Cherry was likewise postmstress, and
Bill warned him of his danger.

But Cherry held serenely to her own
course Of action. Instead of being
scornful she became sympathetic and
rather remorseful. When she found
Walt porting painfully over mail

Of laughing. Walt found himself de-

was Cherry who suggested cutting ont

velvet set.
"It isn't becoming to blondes" she
said thoughtfully.
Waits gaze travelled to Cherry's
brown, short curls and wide, brown
eyes, alert as squirrels, and for one
instant he thought of how she would
look surrounded by the studio willow
set. He leaned over the little wooden
barrier between them eagerly, forget
full of windows.
IT'S awfully good of you to tend to
all this stuff for me, Cherry. I'd never
thought Of that fireless cooker or the

If Walt had not been young and
trusting he'd never have answered the
advertisement, but when you've spent
your life in western Nebraska, per-

In receptive condition for romance.
Walt was. From the first day when
he found the advertisement he knew
the star path his feet must tread. He
was sitting on a baggage truck in the
cool shadow of the Three Bears eX-
press office, peacefully sleeping. Runty,
the agent, laid over his face a copy
of the Omaha Eagle. When Walt wax
ened his glance wandered idly over its
want columns. 1t was down among
the personals" Walt read 1t over
careleSsly at first, then carefully, look
ing up once to gaze at the demure but
forbidding face behind the telegraph
office window. Then he read over the
ad again.

Object matrimony.
He held the newspaper firmly in both
hands. There was no reason why he
should not answer the appeal. He
didn't have a ranch all his own. but
Bill and he had been good partners
with the Triple Star outfit. The house
wasn't so bad-three rooms and
lean-to. He'd fix it up for her. chuck
all the old clutter he and Bill had put
up with. and send up load of mail
order honeymoon things for her to
make her know she was welcome.
Here Walt took a second look at the
unfriendly face at the window, but the
girl never turned her head or noticed
his existence. Presently he sauntered
around into the station doorway and
leaned over the little partition at the
ticket office. Could he have a tele-
graph blank. please? Cherry did not
glance up at all, just passed one to
him cOldly. He spent half an hour
writing his message, took long drink
from the water cooler and handed the
telegram to her to count up.
"Send it off any time it's handy" he
remarked, trying to be nonchalant
also. Cherry ran her pencil over it.
