THE LABOR CONFERENCE

Great hopes have been entertain
ed of the results to be attained by
t Labor Conference called for
Washington October 6. II a spirit Of
reason and tolerance prevails there,
these hopes should be realized to
some degree. Yet the industrial re-
lations Of the country, the product
of century Of evolution, can't be
revolutionized over night.
Up to now the efforts to harmon
ize labor trubles have been chiefly
along two lines. First, boards of ar
bitration appointed to settle some
particular labor trouble. AS soon as
that quarrel is settled, these boards
go out of existence, and they do
nothing to work out a plan by which
better relations between capital and
labor can be promoted.
Second, Cancellation commissions
appointed by the states. These may
or may not do good work. They are
made up of office holders who may
not themselves be either employers
of labor or employees. Consequently,
they do not bring Capital and Labor
together in any closer relations.
What is needed now is to have
permanent bodies appointed in which
employers and employees shall meet
regularly and frequently and obtain
some better adjustment. Men in diff
ferent circumstances get together in
feeling only when they know and like
and understand each other. Army

ent circumstances together, showed
how friendly relations and mutual
understanding car be promoted.

RATES
WHERE COOPERATION PAYS
BEST

A writer in the Indiana farmers
Guide finds that the farmers are not
much interested in cooperative buy
ing as in cooperative selling. In
some costly purchases for rarm use,
the cooperative society may make
a saving. But in the ordinary odds
and ends Of daily living, the home
store can do the buying cheaper for
the farmers than they q do 1t for
themselves, when the value Of their
time is considered.
1t is in cooperative selling that
the great gain can be made, because
here the service Of a vast aggregate
of non-producers can be eliminated.

The mass of the people do not

1t is going to take a man of great
fairness of mind and strength of
will to meet all the angles of this
sit,a icr. He must lc fair to the
labor unions. He must recognize
that they have in the past accom-
plished a great amount Of good. But
he must realize that any group of
people is likely to demand too much
for themselves. A great many of
the unions have got the idea that
they can get anything they want b.
striking for 1t. Then while they
might not use actual violence. thew
so intimidate anyone that wants to
work that he does not dare to. As
a result many of the unionized
groups have grabbed more than their
share.
The present Demochatic adminis-
tration has been inclined to Weld

and to tax the great majority of the
people beyond all reason to favor
these minority groups. A man ia

bluffs. He must see that the union
lied groups get generous treatment,
but also that they do not by force
secure more than their share of bene-

SPECULATION AN FOOD PRICES

In a pioneer country, the question
of fair prices is taken care of by the
law of supply and demand. II there
was a shortage Of any staple article,
the producer of that staple got much
higher prices. He was rewarded for
his forethought in producing that
article and in raising it under the
difficulties that created that scar
city.
The result always was to make the
production of that article very much
more attractive. Those already in
the business of raising 1t. would
raise more. New people were in
duced to go into the business. And
business men with money to invest
would lend money to buy better g.
quipment and thus produce more.
Thus the high prices we're a slim
illus and reward that acted lmme-
diately to produce a plentiful sup
ply Of the article, as a result of
which the prices would come down.
In these times the SPECTATOR gets
the principal benefit when a a
city EXISTS in any commodity. The
food producer may not get much
more for his product than usual.
The high prices consequently do not
operate to stimulate production as
much as they formerly did. Their
effect is rather to induce peo-
pie to go into the business of spec
ulating In these staples, thus adj
ding nothing to the production of
the country.
With the Spectator pocketing a
big share Of the high prices, there
is no great inducement for the pro-
Queer to produce more, or for other
producers to raise that article. Only
when the producer gets the prin-
cipal benefit of the high prices re-
sulting from a scarcity, will pro-
duction be greatly increased. And
until production is stimulated and
there is a sufficient supply on hand,
prices will inevitably be high. The
big problem of the food price ques-
ton is how to eliminate the spec
%ulator, and if he performs any SER
vice at all, how to get this service
performed for a far smaller tax.

On the 18th and 18th of this month
the Imperial Valley Hardware Com
pany will hold Power Farming En-
hibit just west of Ell Centre. A small
piece Of land has been secured at the
intersection of Main street and I'M
perial avenue that comprises almost
every kind of soil condition in the
Valley.
This is planned to he a "still demon
stration but on the othere hand there
will be a Fordson in action during
TIE entire two days Of the show DONG
some kind Of farm work.
The Cut-away Fordson will be run
ming all the time with a belt run from
another Fordson. This is the tractor
that attracted so much attention at
the Los Angeles Show. Enough OF the
tractor has been cut away so as to
show every working part.
1t is planned to plow the bermuda
sod on this place with a regular sod
plow, cross plow it with an oliver
disc plow, disc it with Roderick

pulverizing and prepair seed bed
with an Oliver Fordson Cultipacker
and finally follow up with an Amsco

This new device works from the seat
Of the Fordson, moves as much as
yard of dirt per minute and is sold
exclusively with the Fordson Tractor.
A new drive wheel Will be shown
for the first time that is designed so
that the Fordson may be used to cul-

Your Future Husband.
But the oldest as well as most
mirth provoking procedure is the
ghost fire.
A big dish pan is placed in the CEN
ter of the floor of a dark room. The
pan contains some -four or five pounds
of salt which has been fairly well
saturated with wood alcohol. The
party gathers around the pan, chant
ing the incarnation quoted above.
Each has been givn a chestnut, and
each chestnut has been marked in
ONE distinguishing way. A lighted
match is thrown on the salt, which
breaks into a blaze that gives off an
uncanny green light. The chestnuts
are hen thrown in, and the girl whose
chestnut pop first will be the first
bride. OF course, she must immedi-
ately eat the chestnut. BUT that
is not all.
She is supposed TO see the~face of
\ her utuPc husband arising from the
flames!
The Ghost Fire.
This ghost fire is a direct survival
of the earliest Druid rituals. In
Scotland, Ireland and Wales Druidism
left it's impress upon the later Chris
tan fainath, and to this day traces OF
it's fire affairs are still found.
Now the Druids believed in trans
migration of souls, and on the eve
of their festival to the sun they light
ed their fire affairs to propitiate the
spirits of darkness. The custom was
kept up in parts of Great Britain
until a comparatively recent period.
None of the levity caused by the mod
ern witch fire" however was attached
to this observance. Instead of chest
nuts being roasted white stones, each
previously marked with the name of
a member of the family, were thrown
into the Halloween fire. Prayers
were then said and the family went to
bed hoping to find all the stones again
in the morning. If any stone were
missing it betokened that the owner
Of it would die within the year.
While some superstitlons are pretty
this was one of many which were
cruel. Happily only s~portiveness re-
mains today of this quaint old time

are chanted nave to do with healthy
