FORCING PLANTS.
Using Artificial Light to Increase Their
Growth

To force the growth Of plants by the
use Of artificial light is not a new idea,
but the system hitherto has beerAttoo e1-
pensive in proportion to obtainable re-
suits.
Recently man engaged in horticulture
discovered an eficacious method of apply
ing light for this purpose Arranging in
winter quarters his plants as he wished
them to grow, he supplies a lamp with
mercury vapor for fuel and the seeds
terminate in less than half the ordinary
time, while the vigor and intensity Of the
color of the flowers is superior to that
Of the product grown naturally.
Another curious phenomenon noticed in
connection with this action OF light is
an infinite multiplication of the downy
substance commonly found on stems
Those grown in shadow have the stems
relatively bare Very good practical re-
suits have been obtained by this system

New Road Completed.

Mortified seminary has completed
the new road from the east end of
Schell bridge along the Connecticut
river, winding easterly to join Main
street at Bonar hall This road has
been under construction for about a
year. It is about quarter of a mile
in length and an excellent piece of road
construction. In building the road it
was necessary to cut out many of the
trees on the river bank, which gives
beautiful view of the river, where
before this part of the South Vernon
road was closed in by banks. The road
at the east end of the bridge has been
much widened allowing wide curve at
the bridge. This strip of road formerly
was narrow and dangerous, but it is
now greatly improved in appearance
and for safety.

The Family Banker.

A youngster on his initial visit to
church was extremely interested when
his father started to take up the collec-
ton.
Unable to stand the strain, he deity
eluded his mother and attached himself
as convoy to papa, following him down
the aisle with his eyes growing larger and
rounder' as the money flowed in.
This method of obtaining wealth was
new to the lad, but he thought he knew
its destination, and as the ushers reached
the rear of the church and turned for the
solemn march to the pulpit his voice
rang over the room: Give it to me.

SOUGHT FOR WORKERS

II. The unqualified right of the
workers to organize and deal collec-
lively with employers through such
representatives of their unions as they
choose, to be recognized and enforc-
ed by appropriate legislative enact
ments.
"2. An eight-hour day and 44-hour
week in all branches Of industry, with
minimum rates of pay which, without
the labor of mothers and children, will
maintain the worker and his family in
health and comfort and provide a
competence for old age, with ample
provision for recreation and good citi-
zenship.
"3. The uncompromising support of
the workmen's compensation law,
which will, if fairly and prudently ad-
ministered, bring to injured workmen,
their families and dependents, sure,
certain and fair relief regardless of
question of fault and to the exclusion
of every other remedy without re-
course to the courts.
"a. Abolition of unemployment by
the creation of opportunity for steady
work at standard wages through the
stabilization Of industry and estab-
ishment, during periods of depres-
sion, of government work on housing,
road building, reforestation, recla-
nation of arid and swamp lands and

new organization will be called the
"North Dakota Working Peoples
Nonpartisan Political league" and
will try to enroll among it's members
all the organized and the unorganized
workers of the state.
The program of the Labor party
includes: An eight-hour day and A.
hour week; support Of the present
North Dakota compensation act; COM
prehensive public ownership plank;
insistence on heavy income and in
heritance tax; complete equality of
men and women; democratic control
of industry and complete restoration
of all the fundamental political rights
of Americans which were abridged
during the war, and the release of DO
litical prisoners.
The platform in full follows:
eff we, the workers, are to enjoy
freedom and embrace our full oppor-
tunities in the new nation which is
emerging out of the suffering and
sacrifice of the great world conflict
now closed, and if we are to solve the
grave industrial and political prob
lens Which confront us today, it be-
hooves labor to formulate it's own pro-
gram of fundamental social, economic
and political change and form a polit-
ical organization. If we are to es-
cape from the decay of civilization,
we must insure that which is present.
ly to be built is a social order not
based on fighting but on fraternity;
not on competitive struggle for the
means of bare life, but on deliberately
planned cooperation in production
and distribution by and for all who
participate with hand or brain; not
on the inequality of riches but on a
systematic approach toward healthy
equality of material circumstances for
every person born in the world
eve, the workers of North Dakota,
therefore favor as the tentative plat
form of the organization the follow
ing program:

nation of wasteful methods, parasitic
al middlemen and all profteering in
the creation and distribution of the
products of industry and agriculture
in order that the actual producers
may enjoy the fruits of their toll.
"6. Public ownership and operation
of railways, steamships, stockyards,
packing plants, grain elevators, ter
minal markets, telegraphs and tele-
phones and all other public utilities;
and the naturalization and develop
ment of basic natural resources, water
power and unused lands, with the
repatriation of large holdings, to the
end that soldiers and sailors and dis
located workers may find an oppor-
tunity for an independent livelihood.
"7. Revenues for the paying of pub
lie debt and for the expenses of gov
ernment shall be obtained mainly from
taxes on incomes and inheritances
and from a system of land value tax
alton which will stimulate rather than
retard production.
GOVERNMENT INSURANCE
FOR ALL is DEMANDED
"8. Continuation of soldiers and
sailors insurance; extension of such
life insurance by the government
without profit to all men and women;
and the establishment of government
insurance against Industrial and other
accidents, illness, unemployment and
old age and upon all insurable forms
of property.
49,. Complete equality of men and
women in government and industry,
with the fullest enfranchisement of
women and equal pay for men and
women doing similar work.
40. Democratic control of industry
and commerce for the general good of
those who work with hand and brain,
and the elimination of autocratic
domination Of the forces of produc-
tion and distribution either by selfish
private interests or bureaucratic
agents of government.
I'll. Cooperation with the national
government in the establishment of
department of education coordinate
with other branches of the federal
government, in order that a uniform
and effective educational system may
be developed in which every child will
be guaranteed a thorough academic
and industrial education and the eco
nomic and academic independence of
the teachers be secured.
"12. Complete restoration at the
earliest possible moment of all funda-
mental political rights-free speech,
free press and free assemblage; the
removal of all wartime restraints
upon the interchange of ideas and the
movement of people among commu-
mites and nations; the liberation of
all persons held in prison or indicted
under charges due to their champion
ship of the rights of labor or their pa
triotic insistence upon the rights
guaranteed them by the Constitution.
We are unalterably opposed to any
form of conscription or universal mill
tary training in time of peace"
