WRITES ESSAY ON
The WHY OF SILOS

The other night, ]. w. Owens,
county agent, fired up his old barn
yard meerschaum and when she got
to going right well, he had writ
ing fit, Grasping his trusty one-lung
Oliver firmly he hammered out the
following, which. as near as it Is
possible to judge, seems to be sort
of an easy essay on silos:
"A silo is a hole, entirely sur
rounded by wall, fur STORM COW
feed. Sometimes the hole is in the
| gorund and sometimes It is up in
the air. TO build a silo, first select
a nice spot fur the hole, then build
a wall outside of the hole if you
want to build up, or inside of the
hole il you want pit silo Either
kind is good, but you got to go about
1t different If you can't put up
silo, put one down, but don't put it
off.
"All kinds of material is good fur
silo buildin except hot air. Good
ones is made outen cement, concrete, |
cement slaves, holler tiles, brick, !
stone or steel. We have good
many silos in this country made of |
the above materials and about 10,- |
coo made outen hot air Most of the |
farmers has got the spot picked out
fur the hole, but they haint never
commenced to build yet fur some
reason or other Some hain't got the
money, some can't decide on the
kind of silo, some sez it's too much
trouble to haul the feed to the silo
and then chop 1t up. Some sez it
makes the cows teeth drop out, some
se2 it gives the COWS the holler tail
and some sez it gives them holler
horn. Some sez it makes the milk
turn green and that the butter wont
churn. Some sez it makes steers
scour, hawgs howl and lambs limp
Anything to put off silo buildin'.
I'm telling you farmer folks
what milk and feed cows and steers
better get busy and look into this
sio buildin bizness. It'll mean mon
ey to you if you want to make milk,
beef or mutton and know of some
that feeds it to hawgs and lots Of ii :
is fed to hosses and mules.

LADY ASTOR PLANS TO
AID ENGLISH WOMEN
Newly Elected Parliament Member
Offers Cooperation to
Union Leaders.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1S.-Lady
Astor intends to make herself a
woman NJ. P. in every psactical way,
states a copyright dispatch from Lon
don to the Public Ledger.
She has written to several union
leaders in the Lancashire cotton trade
offering her ready cooperation in any
matters affecting women operatives.
She has made the advance in such a
kindly, unassuming manner that she
has won her way to the confidence of
the representatives of the Lancashire
weavers.
There are more women employed in
the Lancashire cotton trade than in
any other industry in the country.
While she is in touch with Lam
cashire industrial life, Lady Astor will
probably extend the sphere of her op-
erations to the bobbin and shuttle
workers at Cornwall and Garston.
Liverpool, where a large number of
women are, employed. Next to the
cotton trade itself, the largest mum.
Der of women and girls are engaged
at the hat trimming and wool-form-
ing departments of the Lancashire
and Cheshire hat trade.
Officials in Denton, where the hat
ting unions have their headquarters.
would be glad of any assistance from
Lady Astor in any matters affecting
the working conditions of their WON.

OPPOSES SEX Line IN
FIXING MINIMUM WAGE

No sex line should be drawn re-
garding the principle of the minimum
wage or collective bargaining, says
the Womans Bureau of the Depart
ment of Labor in its first annual re-
port.
Women doing the same work as
men should receive equal wages, and
the minimum wage rate should cover
the cost of living for dependents, and
not merely for the Individual" saws
the report, which follows with the
statement that "the genuine co-opera-
tion essential to production can be
secured only if definite channels of
communication between EMPLOYERS
and groups of their workers are es-
-ablished. The need of creating meth
DDS of joint negotiation between en-
ployers and groups of employees is es-
peciaiy great at the present time"
The Woman's Bureau was created
eighteen months ago to meet wartime
industrial conditions. but was contin-
ued by act of Congress because OF the
demonstrated Importance of it's func-
tions.
Miss Mary Anderson. present di-
rector of the bureau, is the first trade
union member ever appointed to head
A Federal Bureau. she is a boot and
shoe worker by trade, a member of

tional Boot and Shoe Workers Union.

A billion-dollaf cut must be made
in Government expenditure this year,
Republican Leader Nondeli warned
today In q speech to Congress.
Estimates for the fiscal year end
ing June 80. 1920, total nearly $5.0O0.-
600. 900, according to figures recently
submitted. These must be slashed TO
less than $4,000 ,000. 600, Mondell de-
clared.
Economy must be the watchword
of the present session" he empha-
sized.
"ln no other way can we perform
our duty to our country. When there
is q widespread demand for a reduc-
tion In taxes, when further bond is
sues are inadvisable, and when esti-
mates are In excess of probable
revenues, 1t presents q situation in
which the practice Of economy Of the
severest type becomes absolutely cs-
sential II we hope to place our fla
cal operations on . sound basis and
avoid a dangerous financial situa-
ton"
AS to where reductions will be
made. Mondell said:
Estimates for the army, Of nearly
q billion dollars, should be reduced by
at least half. The estimates for civil
sundry expenditures should stand a
heavy reduction. The estimates for
Notifications will stand the heaviesr
cut Of all. The naval estimates may
be largely reduced without impairing
the efficiency Of the naval establish
ment.. River and harbor estimates
also will be cut, and heavy reductions
will be made all along the line T"
