On this broad continent, somewhere,
the warmth of spring is in the air
and doodads are in bloom; but where
l live the winds are bleak and drear-
iiy the heavens leak, and all is wrapped
IN gloom. Somewhere the skies are
blue and bright, and mockingbirds sit
UP all night to sing their sweet refrain
hut here the north wind has an edge
that pierces like an iron wedge, and
frost is on the plain. And there will be
long months of snow, and many weary
storms will blow, before we see the
spring. before that season we behold
when blossoms bright adorn the void,
and umpty doodles sing. And so, dis
I tressed upon n time. I heave a sigh
for some bright. cline where skies are
always bright, till / reflect, "In such
land the peslly flies are never can
ned, and chiggers always biteW II
am prone to grumbling here, I'd be
distraught where skies are clear, and

toned to the sights, to perfect days and

BLOCKING PROGRESS.

. RELIMINARY developments at the conference called
to mediate the differences between the striking coal
miners and the operators show that the operators al
ready cptazng the public reaction against the exrava
CANT demands Of the unions and refusing compromise
while the unions led by radicals tainted with boshevism
and enthused the preliminary success of the strike
are obstinate in their demands aiming at confiscaton Of
the mines.
Such outrages that at Centraia play directly into
the hands OF the reaconary capitalists who thereby
enabled to support of public opinion that their
autocratc attitude does not merit They threaten the
of organized labor with destruction which is has
tened by the autocratc attitude Of the labor unions them
selves
The autocrats Of business seek to make l. W. Wism
and bolshevism synonymous in the minds of the public
with unionsm and make their cause that of preserv
ling national HONOR and the appeal will be Forthcoming
that the nation must support their to the
try from bolshevsm and anarchy
The autocrats Of labor have made such situation
possible by their unreasonable attitude their excessive
demands and their multiplicity of strikes They are at
tempting programs that menace the government and
threaten with ruin the labor organizations they
plotting They are jeopardzing everything labor has
for half century.
The melancholy feature of the situation is that it
is the unOrganized public that suffers and will continue
to suffer If it is necessary for the nation to act to curb
the wanton excesses of organized labor advantage will
be taken by big business to set back the industrial and
economical progress Of the country for years.
irresponsible labor leaders are blind indeed if they
do not understand that they are not only destroying their
own organizations but hampering national advancement

VALUABLE DATA

Agricultural Department is
Making An Exhaustive
Study of Old Beliefs.

WASHINGTON. oct 10 The
problem OF making agricultural SUI
perstitions into scientific data is be-
ing studied By experts OF the de-
partment OF agriculture. who de-
clare that many old maxims hand
ed down from father 70 son for gen
erations are not really superstitions
at all. but helpful information dis
covered by keeniy observant per-
sons
Everybody has heard some OF the
old maMms They deal with every
variety OF agricultural operation
Bean planting. for instance, never
was done by the forefathers OF the
present generation excep: at the
time OF the bIOssoming OF the black
berry bushes When the catkins
had formed on the maple trees, it
was a sign from nature that early
gardening might comm ence. And
toward the close Of the season.
warning OF frost was given by the
maturing Of coclcleburs.
The Best Time.
Now. the department OF agricul-
ture. declares that there is a best
time for every farm and garden op-
Grafton and that some tree or shrub
or plant indicates that time more
accurately than all the scientific in
struments can register H. It is
those signs which were noted by the
pioneers who laid the foundations
Of this country and recorded in the
simple sayings handed down to pos
terity Soon they will be dignifed
with the scientific name OF "phen-
ology." which Is the science OF
phenomena
Collection OF natural signs into
the science of phenology probably
was began with a campaign against
the Hessian fly. Experts were en-
deavoring TO determine the bes'
time for planting wheat so that the
sowing would be late enough to pre-
vent ruin by the pest and yet early
enough for the grain 10 get a start
before cold weather. II was easy
enough TO work out the general
rule that the season varies four days
for each one degree OF latitude
five degrees OF longitude and 400
feet Of altitude. but as no two sea-
sons are Just the same. the rule
could tell only approximately when
the farmer should do his sowing.
