labor crisis passed--for the present:
at least-with the adoption by. the
industrial congress, Of the joint
committees report recommending an,
eight hour working day a minimum
wage and a permanent industrial
council to settle wage disputes.

informed labor circles, the signif-
cance of what took place under
cloud Of tobacco smoke in the famous
Central Hall. Westminster, few
hundred yards from the Houses of
Parliment. In the, conference sat
nearly, 500 delegates representing
practically all the large employing
interests of Great Britain and about
seven million workers. r.

far from being completely adjusted,

The burden of proof has been
shifted. a few weeks ago labor held
the center of the picture, and all
En- gland was. asking, "What. will la

the government and, the. employers
who are drawing the eyes and the
question is, how thoroughly the gov
ernment will carry through the pro-
gram to which its arbiters have COM
mitted it.
In a few weeks English labor
covered an arc in the cycle of in
dustrial development which even in
the most progressive of countries has
hitherto been completed only after
years Of intense labor struggles.
It is certain that the e:recommenda-

cades previous. In, one lump Eng

spEcIALs PRODUCTION[.

I Three Green Eyes, the new
World picture, to beseen at the Elko
, theatre tonight, was filmed from a
famous play, and the picture has
even more punch than the play which
was one Of the stages biggest sue
cesses. Five stars appear in this
picture. They are Carlyle Blackwell.
Montagu Love, June Elvidge, Evelyn
Greeley and Johnny Hines. It has
nothing to do with the war. There
are no murders in Three Green
Eyes" But it is pleasing, exceptions
ally entertaining, wholly delightful.
OF course, Three Green Eyes" has
been given Nsumptous staging. It
has been given the sort of a presenta-
tion that the strength Of the story
and the prominence Of the stars war
rants, and as a result, it is a very
special production, indeed. Z!

Implement Men win Case.

The case of Freezing Fox versus
Edward Boldt, the same being a
Platteville implement firm suing a
farmer for collection on a tractor. was
decided by jury in favor of the
plaintiff last Tuesday. The defend
ant contended that he bought a Fair
Nor l'-25 tractor to use on threshing
work from the implement men. He
testified that the tractor was unable
to do the work in any manner and in
fact was not "12-25" tractor at all.
Continual breaks and defects arising
led Boldt to believe that he had been
sold a second hand tractor.
The plaintiffs alleged that Boldt had
been sold just what he ordered. "A
1925 Fair-Mor Tractor" They con-
tended that no guarantee went with
the machine and that he received what
the order called for-no more, no less.
That in buying the tractor it became
his machine, defects and all. 1t was
brought out that Boldt had especial
ly insisted on this type of tractor al
tho the implement men did not handle
it direct.
The jury gave Fox a verdict for
$500. Boldt had previously paid 5000
on the machine
A Trade Or No Trade?
A replevin action between Mrs. Ell
fie Duncan, plaintiff, and Virgil Irish,
defendant, had as a point of issue an
exchange of cars between Dorman
Duncan, Mrs. Duncans son, and Vir-
gil Irish on September 9th, 1919. The
Duncan car, Ford coupe, was ex-
changed for a Chevrolet Some boot
figured in the matter to go to the Ford
owner. Mrs. Duncan and son testi-
fled in their own behalf at the trial.
Virgil Irish and John and A. J. Udel-
hofen were put on the stand by the
defense. Mrs Duncan and son were
brought back in rebuttal Lester
Peterson testified for plaintiff in re-
buttal
The jury was given four questions
to answer, towit:
l. Did Mrs. Duncan assent on Sat
urday the 9Th to her son, Dorman,
trading her car to the defendant?
Answer-No
2. Did Mrs. Duncan assent to her son
taking the Irish car on the succeed
ing Monday to Cassville and convey
ing two passengers to that village?
Answer-No.
8. Did Mrs. Duncan after she had
notified the defendant that she would
not retain his car, but would return
it, nevertheless with her son using it
on the following Thursday in making
the mail route? Answer-Yes.
4 Was the Irish car when taken
and left in the private way leading to
his premises in substantially as good
condition as when it was delivered by
the defendant to her son for her?
Answer-No.
Upon the answers to these questions
the court would PROFOUND a verdict
in the case. Up to Saturday morning
this had not been done.

among other things that the place
was over-stocked by the company to
the extent that the cattle ate hazel
brush and bark on the trees going
SO lar as to eat the leaves where they
could be reached. This led ATTORNEY

Food Value OF Milk.

Largely because milk is liquid,
many people have not considered it
a necessary part of the diet In many
homes, milk is not used except in
connection with tea and coffee. How
ever, milk is the most nourishing of
all foods. 1t is necessary to the
growth of children and valuable to
the adult in promoting health and
vlgor II one but for a moment con-
sldered milk on the basis of the pro-
tein, fat, and sugar content, and ov-
|erlooked its growth and health pro-
noting substances an its ideal min
eral matter, it would be found that
milk is a cheap food even when COM
pared with most other stable articles
or diet. For example, veal costs
about twice as much as milk for the
same food value Pork chops are
much more expensive, while chicken
at SIT a pound is more than so per
cent more expensive than milk, and
eggs at $.48 a dozen are about 2h
times as costly as per cent milk
There is no other part of the diet that
children need more for health and
vigor than whole milk.
Self Feeders and Protein.
Now that the pasture season is
about over, every pork producer
needs to consider the Importance of
a self feeder for hogs, also furnish
ing plenty of protein as a part OF ey-
cry days rations Skim milk. bran
soy beans, clover and alfalfa hay help
furnish protein, but in most cases,
'tankage should be kept before the
hogs constantly. Farmers and ex-
pertinent stations have proven the
use of the self feeder to be profitable.
A self feeder for corn, other grains
and concentrates is not only a great
labor saver, but it is sure way of
getting rapid and economical devel-
opment of the young pigs. Self feed
ers can be made at little expense and
may be built to feed ear corn as we'll
as ground grains or concentrates.
