INSTALLS THE
LATEST MACHINERY

Jensen & SeigeI have recently in,
stalled in their machine shop what
might well be called a wonderful in
vention. It is an acetylene Welding
and cutting machine of the very
best and latest make. It is not the
common acetyIene welding equip
ment that has long been used but Is
much larger and more effective and
automatically manufactures its own
gas from calcium carbide. In cutting
iron or steel q mixture OF oxygen and
acetylene gas is used with wonder
full rapidity. We witnessed this ma
chine in operation cutting solid
piece of steel one inch thick and six
inches wide, completely seyering il
as could be done with z saw on z
piece OF pine, and did it in ten sec
onds. With this cutting torch, Z.
solid steel shaft u inches in diane
ter can easily be cut in two and near
~ as smooth as if sawed. The pro
cess of welding steel or any kind Of
iron. no matater how heavy, can now T,
be done with this equipment. Mr .
Jensen has had for several years, 2 /
Welding plant, but not with the ca
pacity to equal this new machine. {
Payette can now boast Of having z I
machine shop better equipped for /
all kinds OF repair work than any /
town in the Northwest, and opsrat- /
ed By men who understand their .
business. +

PIONEER PASSES
TO HIS REWARD

S. W. Applegate, a highly respect
ed pioneer OF this community, pass
ed TO his reward last Sunday morn
ing at a. N. after suffering for
months with cancer OF the face.
While his death was not unexpected
being advanced in years and afflict-
ed with an incurable disease, there
IS always sadness when dear one
is taken. Yet no one would wish him
back, for he had finished his work
and was anxious and ready to 60
and be with his Savior whom he had
faithfully served for the last seventy
years. Mr.. Applegatae became con-
verted when q boy i years Of age,
and while the greater part of his
life has been spent among worldly
people he never faltered from the
path Of righteousness. When a young
man he felt it his duty to preach the
word OF God, and for many years
sought every opportunity to lead
others to follow his example, never
receiving any compensation for his
preaching. that was not given back
to the cause Of Christ. His one aim
in life was to serve his Master, and
do unto others as he would wish to
be done by.
Samuel William Applegate was
born September 18th, 1887 in Scott
County, Indiana, where he lived un-
til he was six years of age, moving
at that time with his parents to Pike
County, Illinois; and in 1852 crossed
the pIlins by OK team, settling on
the Umatilla River in Oregon. A
short time after he was a volunteer
in the Rogue River Indian War.
On June Sth, 1860, he was united
in marriage to Della Landrith. Sew
en- children were born to bless this
union. two Of whom are still living,
John Applegate and Mary o. Wilson
both of Payette.
He moved to Idaho City during
the gold excitement where his wife
died Her body was brought in the
dead of winter for burial in what is
now called the Applegate Cemetery
between New Plymouth and Falk
Store. He was united in marriage to
Anna Newton in 1855. To this union
five children were born. two of whom
are now living; Ruth Macomb and
Esther Chatfield both of Payette.
In 1856 he moved with his family to
Payette. settling at that time, on a
homestead on Dead Ok Flat where
he continued to live until few
months ago. he moved to Payette
where he passed willingly and peace
fully to his reward. Besides his
wife and four children, one sister is
left to mourn his loss, and to follow
his Christian example. Funeral SER
vices we're held Tuesday forenoon at
1l:3O from the home, conducted by
Rev, Bloom Of ontario, assisted by
Rev. c. W. Buell. of Payette. Inter
ment was made in the Applegate
Cemetery near Falk Store.

MAY DAY LABOR
 PROSPECT ACUTE

May Day, the traditional date for Europe finds the labor situation throughout that continent in a condi- tion of ferment, with prospects of a general "A hour strike in Paris, threat of a general railway strike throughout France and disturbed conditions in most European countries. e
 May Day in Europe is vastly diff ferent from May Day in the United States. While in America labor un- ions make no special effort to enforce their demands on May Day, those of Europe have always regarded this as a favorable date for demonstrations and strikes.
 The situation in France appears to be more threatening than elsewhere on the continent. Labor leaders in Par is will attempt to "stop everything but the clock'' for A hours on Satur- day, May 1, as a demonstration against present economic conditions. The labor situation was made more perilous there by decision of the Con gress of French Railway Workers to call a general strike in France to en- force demands. The success of this strike depends, however, upon CO.,
 operation by the General Federation of Labor, the conservative wing of the French Railroad organization.
 All branches of syndicalist labor in Belgium except the railway men have
 been called upon to take part in the general 24-hour strike on May 1. So far as known here no special demon strations have been prepared for May Day either in Spain, Germany or Italy Several Italian industrial cen ters have been the scenes of nuner- l ous strikes during april, some of | which are continuing. This situation generally prevails in some Spanish cities. The labor situation throughout 1 Germany has been in a disturbed con- 1 dition since the Kapp revolution but no special demonstrations have been l called for May Day. Seventy-thou- I sand industrial workers have been on strike in Vienna but there has been | nothing to indicate renewed demon strations in Austria on May Day.

WHY DO BIRDS SING?
U q . If.

The song of the birds is part of the love-mai1ing. The male bird is the singer" as we call them at home, when we think of the canary in the cage near us. The male bird sings to his mate to charm her and to fur ther his wooing. This wooing goes on after the eggs have been laid in the nest and while the mother bird is keeping them warm until they hatch out, but almost instantaneousIy with the birth of the little birds the song of the male bird is hushed. Take the case of the nightingale. For weeks during the period of nestbuild- ing and matching he charms his mate and us with the beautiful music of his love song. But as soon as the lit tie nightingales come from the eggs the sounds which the male nightin- gale makes are changed to a guttural croak, which is expressive of anxiety and alarm, in great contrast to the song notes of his wooing. And yet if you were at this period-just after the birds are born and when his song changes-to destroy the nest and contents, you would at once find MT Nightingale return to his beautiful song of love to inspire his mate to help him build another nest and starr all over again to raise a family.

 In his talk at the United Church Community Forum this coming Sun day evening, he will make this sub ject so plain that all can understand it, and will gladly answer general questions concerning War Risk in- surance, and will particularly vel
