NO RADICALS IN LOCAL

"As far as we know" said Kraft.
the Wilton local. We do not believe
any member of our organization had
any part in the burning of the tipple
at the Wilton mine last week. In fact
we are cooperating with the company
in determining the cause, and if it is
ever brought out that member of our
organization started that fire the
miners themselves will take the initia-
tive in seeing that that man is prose-
cuted to the full extent of the law
President Kraft said that the Wilton
local, as an organization, is not the
slightest bit interested in any state or
national ownership of the mines. The
subject has never been presented at a
meeting of the local, and as far as he
personally knows Kraft does not be-
lieve the men themselves are interest
ed in the naturalization of the mines.
Kraft wanted the people of the state
to understand that the United Mine
Workers of America and especially the
local heads is not in favor of Bolshe-
vism,> radicalism or direct actionists.
We are TOO. per cent Americans at
Wilton said Kraft land we would not
permit an l. w. W., or any other type
of radical to become member of our
organization. Our constitution prohib-
it's membership to holders of red
cards. and the miners at Wilton will
not tolerate them an instant"

The miners employed by the Wash

were always in the best of relations
with that company and their recent
vote favoring returning to work for
the compny when the state under Gov
ernor Frazier's martial law proclama-
tion operated the mine was purely on
whether such action would outlaw
them from the organization of the Uni

This is the sentiment voiced by
Adam Kraft, president, and Irving
Mathy's, secretary, of the Wilton local
Of the mine workers organization Sat

marck and wanted it understood that
the miners at Wilton who voted
against returning to work with the

did so because they feared such action

WHAT MATTE RS.

1t matters little after all +
Whether stocks shall rise fall,
Whether JOY my STRENGTH rewards,
Whether anyone ,applauAs
Any little feat of SKILL
All that matters all thai will,
Is that may gayly tell
That the ones love aTawell
Fame can vanish overnight;
Wrong swiftly foliosF right;
Loss can take the place Of gain,
Sunshine turn to chilling rain;
Fate may rob me of mysWealth.
But if those love haveShealth
I've right to- frown orSsigh-
Fortunate indeed am t.
He that stands beside ACCT
Cooling fevered hands and hot,
Fighting blindly hour by hour
Illness, with its hidden#power
Heedless is of worldly fame
Or the fortunes Notwithstanding;
He forsakes life's battles then
Till his babe is well again.
Fortune then his name night CALL
But he'd answer not at. ALL
Deaf to glory he wouldSstay
Hy that little cot to pray
Watching Waiting, not'for gold
Not to hear his praises told,
I'ut for one faint sign t0ten
That his babe you'd soon be we'll.
Sum up life and all it's care,
Count the burdens mortals bear,
Sift the loses and the gains,
And but real W0e remains
'Tis to live those days OF fear
When the hand Of death seems near
Then all else man would sell
Just to have his loved ones we'll.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY II. 1919.

Astrologers read this as an unim-
rortant day in planetary direction,
Saturn Is mildly beneic in aspect.
Brewing of great events is indicated.
Good news will be transmitted over
long distance, but there will be also
much TO cause anxiety in the public
mind
During the next few days influences
that sway powerfully will be felt and
there should be an understanding Of
the Importance of strong thoughts
that are positive and devoid of fear.
There is a friendly star that is read
as promising benefits to those who
build homes and seek to make beauti-
full the cities in which they dwell.
Saving through the right use of
money is counseled by the seers, who
declare that the parable of the ser
wants who kept the masters talents
should be remembered, since he who
hid his one talent earned rebuke
Saturn is encouraging to the old to-
day and their counsel should be re-
spected, for much wisdom will be
needed in the world during the months
of spring.
Again changes in the Presidents
cabinet are prognosticatcd. One of
these will bring great good fortune
Scandals that will be first Whispered
and then widely told are again fore
shadowed. These will cause a nation
wide campaign for the benefit of girls,
It is prophesied, and this will be along
new lines
Warning is given again of the possi-
bilities of doing great harm through
gossip that may affect not only the
reputation of individuals, but the in
tegrity of the nation.
One Of the persistent prophecies has
been that knowledge concerning
psychic influences would cause per-
sons to safeguard thought, which will
be more potent and more easily COM
municated now than ever before, the
seers declare.
Persons whose birthdate it Is have
the augury of an active and success
. full year. Those who are employed
should be careful
Children born on this day may be
proud and sensitive. These subjects
of Aquarius usually are successful in
whatever they undertake.

TO TURN
AHEAD IN MARCH
Daylight Saving Again VIII
Go Into Effect on Last
Sunday in Month.

Do not forget to turn the clock
one hour ahead when you go to bed
on the last Saturday night in March.
for daylight saving law goes into
effect on the last Sunday OF next
month. The National War Garden
Commission Is getting inquiries
from all over the country as to
whether this law continues.
Charles LathrOp Pack, president
OF the National War Garden Com
mission, gives a great deal OF credit
for the great war garden record OF
1918 10 the daylight savings law.
According to the estimates by the
commission the war garden crop
was worth S535,00O. 600. This was
an increase of ffty-one per cent
over that OF 1917.
The commissions survey showed
that 5.2S5. 900 homo food producing
plots were planted. With twenty
six working days in each of the
seven months you have 1S2 extra
hours of time. II only one gardener
worked this extra hour OF time in
each plot il will be seen that 961,-
$50. 900 hours OF extra time were
added to the country's wealth. Since
there are S.76O hours in a year, you
find the staggering total OF 1OS,So3
years OF twcnty-four hour days.
In an eight-hour working day the
real advantage is found by multi
plying 10S.SO3 by 8. giving 329. 400
working. or ciEht-hour day years
Importance Of this extra time can
not be over-estimated in the opinion
Of Mr.. Pack.
