THEY FISH AND WISH
AND WISH AND FISH

A new disease has become pre-
valent in this section which seems
to be battling physicians and which
threatens to completely paralyze
business unless a cure can be dis
covered very shortly.
1t is called GsAitis and in every
case brought to our notice thus
far operation" is necessary to
affect a cure. The victim seems to
have a mania for doing the opera
ting himself and he does so by
travellng,-in MANY cases many
miles--Golting his daylights almost
into darkness) and casting a line
for suckers. He returns home sick
at heart and sore in mind and
body; with nothing to tell but how
they bit (meaning mosquitoes) and
nothing to show but an ugly dis
position; but positively cured Of
the malady which, but short time
before, had threatened to ruin him
forever.
But last week Frank May,
twelve-year-old son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Bert May OF Greeley, told
the world that he was an excep-
tion to the rule. He caught the
disease, followed his inclination
or his nose we don't know which
and anyway it doesn't natter
and went to a stream near his
home where he succeeded in coax
ing thirteen fish to come up to him
in few minutes time.
If we could have such luck,
Frank, darned if we wouldn't try
to have slight attack of the dis
ease ourselves, but guess we'd
better be safe than sorry" so
we'll just let the rest get it and
We'll look on.

When arranging for Extras
Fourth of July celebration to take
place on the fifth, the committee in
charge forgot to compare notes
with the weather man and conse-
quently our little city chad wet

played havoc with the plans of the
various committees.
Rain fell in torrents the evening
before and continued at intervals
all that night and all day Monday
causing many who had planned on
attending to remain at home but
nevertheless the crowd was all that
could be expected and the affair
passed off in fairly good shape.
All the events of the program,
with the exception of the parade,
were carried out altho some of the
numbers were postponed to such an
hour as would agree with the plans
OF j. Pluvlus. The mornings pro-
gram which was to consist of band
and vocal music and speaking was
changed and the band alone fur
nlshed the entertainment for the
early part of the day while the 9th

noon.
The foot races were run in the
rain, and Jake Thielen and John

Sandberg of Los Angeles, Califor-
MIA. They also reared Jim Paige,
now of Phoenix, Arizona. They
were all present except the last
named.
Others who were here from a
distance were a sister of Mrs.
Paige, Mrs. Ellen Preston, of lola,
Kansas; II. S. Wetherell, of Post
Falls, Idaho; George Gerard and
wife Of Guthrie Center.
An interesting feature of the an
nlversary was the fact that MIR.
and Mrs. Paige ate their supper
off the same table that their we'd
ding supper had been served on
fifty years ago.
MIR. Wetherell gave a splendid
talk during the afternoon which
was enjoyed by all present.
MIR. and Mrs. Paige received
many nice gifts from those who
were in attendance. Those who
could not be present remembered
the occasion by sending letters of
congratulations: they were also the
recipients of several boxes of oran-
ges shipped direct from California.
Their grandson James Paige, also
sent a beautiful basket of hot house
flowers.
This event was one which will
ever be remembered by these good
people, and the pleasant day spent
with old associates will linger long
IN their memories. Their friends
wish for them many more years of
good health and happiness.

Plans are under way for series

OUR WEATHER EYE
Our Blind Spot

are beng urgently solicited by the
labor unions this year to join with
them and support the labor pro-
gram and candidates.
The majority vote in Audubon
county for Mr.. Brookhart for
United States senator at the re-
cent primary indicates that many
OF our local farmers are inclined to
ally themselves with organized la
Dor IN working for the things that
labor wants.
For these. people the Journal has
two suggestions: the first is that
they devote to the question some
what more intensive study before
taking a definite stand on it; and
the second is that there will never
be better time for studying it
than the next three or four weeks
will probably be.
For within that time, indeed
within q very few days, we are eX-
pectlng a decision from the Inter
state Commerce Commission that
will doubtless make the matter
cIaar n ~ III winds
The first portion of this decision
will probably grant to railroad
employees considerable increase
in wages. This increase may be
expected to date back to about
May LIST; and it will be given to
the highly organized brotherhoods,
who are already EXCEEDINGLY
we'll paid and do not need or de-
serve it and to the unorganized,
poorly paid mass of railroad labor
ers who do. The organized por-
tlon of railroad labor in this case
will be found demanding and Sc
CURING more than it is en-.
titled to.
At the same time, or very soon
afterward, we may expect an order
providing for a sweeping increase
In freight rates. This will serve to
pass the greater part of the burden
on to the farmers, for most of the
traffic in the United States is in
agricultural products; and the
farmers pay the freight not only
on what they ship out but on what
they buy as we'll.
Moreover, labor is a unit this
year in working for the Plumb bill
providing that the government
take over the railroads permanently.
After this, labor's program of ex-
tortion can be carried on much
more easily with no limit but the
sky above; and always, as now,
the farmers will be "the boys who
pay the freight"
Our Weather Eye tells us that
those farmers who are lending theil
support to the program Of organ
lied labor at present are blind
that every gain that comes to Ia
Dor in this program means loss to
every farmer in the land; that
there can be no peace between or.
ganized labor and the farmers un.
til labor ceases its insanelv selfish
policy of using force to compel the
granting of UNJUST demands al
the expense of other people who
are honest and hard-working; anc
that this will probably not be soon
for the basis upon which labor has
organized seems to be that of doing
less work and getting more money
regardless OF who Hnay be injured
thereby.
