A MIDDLE CLASS UNION

Dispatches from London tell of rap
idly growing unions OF the middle
classes. people who are not classed
as union laborers or as capitalists.
They represent what might be called
consumers. although, Of course. all la
bor union members and capitalists are
also consumers. The middle classes
are those whose interests are identi-
cal with what might be designated
the general public" as distinguished
from special interests. Organized la
Dor on the one hand and organized
capital on the other are always seek
ing special favors, and, because of or
ganization, are ofte,i able TO secure
advantages from which the middle
classes" suffer. II is to defend them
selves against injustices that the
middle classes" are organizing in
England.
Among the objects of the organiza.
tion are, to create an effective bull.
wark against the excessive and re-
peated demands of labor. which mere.
ly enlarge the vicious circle" OF costs
Of living. and to organize the mass Of
the taxpaying citizens for self defense
In the event Of strikes by putting
them in position to maintain essen.
tial public utility services such as
transport, supply Of coal, lighting. etc.
But one Of the most important OF the
benefits to be gained through an or.
ganization Of the middle classes" is
In the presentation Of facts and argu-
ments to the legislative body in sup.
port OF the views and interests Of the
general public. Such an organization
would represent general welfare
against special or class interest.
While there is much that could be
accomplished by a. middle class union
In the United States. formed along the
lines OF the British unions. II is not
likely that any such organizations will
be created. Already there are nuul.
erous farmers organizations which
present the views OF the agricultural
producers, and the numerous local
citizens associations speak. for the
general welfare Of their communities.
The elections In the United States
last November were n pretty clear
demonstration that the middle class.
es" are not only opposed to class gov.
ernment. but will rebuke any attempt
to sacrifice general welfare for class
interest. The middle classes" con
trol the elections. and therein lies
their power.

HOPING FOR THE WORST

culating the prediction that the repub-
lican congress will not get the appro-
priation bills passed by March 4, the
day of adjournment Well, II the bills
are not passed by that date. the re.
sponsibility will lie with the demo-
cratic departments which have de-
manded billion dollars in excess OF
the costs of the government during
the past fiscal year. Moreover, II the
republicans fail to get the appropria-
tions pared down by adjournment day,

famous because OF the peace Of E'tx,"
a peace that was regulated by an oath

by his own family. The oath provided
that anyone who killed or injured any.

Guests were obliged TO take the oath
upon entering the castle, and were

LAND IRRIGATED BY INDIANS
Before the Advent Of the epanlards
the System Was in Vogue Among
the AborioIncs.

Irrigation began In Texas many
years before the lands embraced
within Its boundaries became a part
Of the United States. years before
those same lands made up what was
known as the Lone Star republic.
writes james Il. Freddy in the Ameri-
can Forestry Magazine.
To bring the time down to a more
tangible date, the first Irrigation work
was done--accordlng to tradition
when the Pueblo Indians constructed
the peculiar bitches about FL Paso
and the Pec0s country, which author
tiles Of today claim were built Cor irri-
CATION purposes. Another tradition
coming out Of the past tells that these
bitches were built by the Yuma In
dlans when they we're driven west
ward by the Comanches and Apaches,
and not by the Pueblos.
When Coronado. the rowing ex-
plorer, opened this country to the
Spaniards he found well-wOrked irri-
CATION systems among the Indians;
this was In 1910 when he was pushing
toward the north. The practice Of
Irrigation was continued under the
franciscan fathers. ~who constructed
the five mission bitches that were
found near the present city Of San
Antonio. Even under Mexican rule.
the work did not stop, and grants by
the Mexican government often read
as follows:
'In the name OF the Mexican ma
tIon, grants him one day of water with
Its corresponding labor of land"

WHY SOUND pop
CORN WON'T POP
apparently Good Kernels Burst
All Right at Times and
at Others Fail.
ARE TWO MAIN REQUISITES
Ears should Be Stored In coel, Well.
Ventilated Place and Ne% Permit
ted to Dry Out Too Quickly
Keep Mice Away.

It Is q matter Of common experience
that pop corn vnries greatly with re-
spect to popping. A lot Of pop corn
may pop all right at one time and not
at all at some other time. Again.,a lot
Of apparently good pop corn may not
pop satisfactorily at any time.
The two main requisites for good
popping are: (1) Good pop corn that
has n moisture content Of about II
per cent; (2) heat sufficient to cause
the kernels to begin to pop In about
~ minutes.
A number of causes may Interfere
with the popping of pop corn. The
principal ones are: ~ Having the pop
corn too dry; (2) having the heat toe
great. or not great enough; (3) har-
vestlng popcorn before It had ripened; {;
md (4) allowing popcorn to mix with
asld corn or sweet corn.
Should Ripen on Stalk.
Popcorn should ripen fully on the
stalk and should not be harvested un.
I'll the hnsks are white and the stalk is
dead and has lost Its sappy condi-
tjon. The ears should then be stored
In cool. weIl-ventilated place. Small
wire crates are good reccptacles In
which to store them. II stored in u
warm room In the house, the ears will
soon dry out so much that they will
not pop. Popcorn that has become
too dry for popping may be restored
to condition again by putting 1t in a
cool and well-ventilated place, prefer
ably outdoors, for few weeks. II
should, however. be protected against
mice.

FARMER KILLS WIFE
And COMMITS SUICIDE
Mans Body Discovered in
Smokehouse During Inquest
Over Woman's Body

Dardanelle, June 15.-Al-
bert Pidgeon, aged SO, hitherto
a respected and prosperous
farmer in the Bohemian settle
ment, three miles northwest of
Dardanelle, today killed his
wife and later blew out his
own brains.
There were no witnesses to
either killing. A son of Mr.
and Mrs. Pidgeon discovered
the dead body of his mother
and gave the alarm. Drs.
Sweet and Webb were sent for
and hurried out to the settle
ment. As, soon as they diseov-
cred that crime had been
committed they called for Off
GERS and a posse went to the
scene. A large party search
ed the woods for Pidgeon. At
that time it was not known
that he had committed suicide.
The man killed his wife with
single barreled shotgun. He
killed himself with same weap-
on. He took his own life in an
unused loft over an old smoke
house and the body lay there
for hours while the search for
him was going on. 1t was dis
covered while the inquest over
the body of his wife was being
held.

TELEGRAPH PROPERTY

an opinion handed down by
the Supreme Court last Mon

state, which, according to the
court, has been assessing the
telegraph lines and property
for the past several years as
personal property, and has not
and does not assess any part
of the line and property of the
company as real estate.
The Supreme Court n rem

that the property Of the tele-
graph company is real estate
and the commissioners Of the
load district had a right under
section 5 Of Act 612 Of the gen
eral assembly Of 1919, to as
sess benefits against it. The
opinion then makes the prop
erty of the telegraph compan-
les liable to assessments by
road districts for the purpo>~
of building good roads.
