LABOR lND0RSES
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
COVENANT APPROVED WITHOUT
RESERVATIONS.
Opposition by Irish.
Closing Session of Two Weeks Meet
ing Develops Storm-President
Gompers Smashes Gavel.

Montreal, June 19.-The American
Federation of Labor adjourned it's an
nual convention here tonight after in
dorsing the league of nations without
reservations.
The closing session of the two
weeks convention was stormy one.
Irish sympathizers, supported by the
progressive wing of the federation,
opposed the movement to indorse the
league and throughout the debate on
the question President Samuel Com
pers had difficulty in maintaining Or
der. His gavel was smashed in his ef-
forts to quiet the proceedings.
Mr.. Gompers and the executive
council will leave Immediately for
Washington to put into operation the
programme framed by the convention.
The first move, it was said, will be
launched against the Democratic na-
tional convention to obtain incorpora-
tion of the federation programme in
the party platform. They will urge
also that the federation's non-parti-
san political policy, which was unani-
mously approved by the convention,
be carried out.
Labor's programme as outlined by
the convention, demands:
Ratification of the peace treaty.
Government ownership with demo-
cratic operation of railroads.
Curb on profteering and high cost
of living.
failing of food and clothing prof.
teers.
Right to strike and abolition of
compulsory arbitration and anti
strike legislation.
Hands off in Mexico by the United
States government.
Endorsement of the Irish republic.
Right of collective bargaining.
Advances in wages wherever neces-
sary to maintain the American stand
ard of living.
Shorter work day if necessary, to
prevent unemployment.

ers He is an expert accountant, and
is thoroughly familiar with all the
tax laws of the state.

GOOD CROP SENDS COTTON DOWN.
Continued Rain in Belt Will Likely
Lead to BulIish Movement. .

New Orleans, June 2O.-During
the greater part of last week in the
cotton market the trend Of prices was
toward lower levels under the dry
and warm weather prevailing, which
allowed the chopping and cultivation
of the crop to make rapid progress
and promoted rapid growth of the
plant, at the same time keeping the
boil weevil down. Under the general
idea that the condition of the crop
was Improving materially, broad
selling movement started up and it
carried prices III to $50 points under
the close of the preceding week,
July dropping to 37.35 and October
to 34.17. During the last two sessions
of the week the situation in the in
terror was reversed and on general
rains and expectations of more moist
ure to come the market reacted from
the lowest and finally closed at net
losses for the week of AZ to 81 points.
The last quotation on July was 37.O9
and on October $3.50. Middling spots
closed at 40.75, a net loss for the
week of rs points.
1t was altogether weather market
the entire week through, and condi-
tions were favorable enough in the
early sessions to prevent a net rise,
except that at one time July was 4
points over the close of the preceding
week. The weekly crop accounts from
the government were considered the
best of the season thus far and pri-
vate reports were encouraging.
Blooms were reported in North Lou
isiana and there was talk in Texas of
the first bale of last year, which came
in on June 80. The effect of the rains
was to cause heavy covering on the
short side and an important demand
for long account.
This week the weather map will
probably rule the market quite as
much as it did last week. Further
rains will be sure to cause buying
and even cloudy weather with light
showers will be regarded as highly
unfavorable because of the effect they
will have in increasing boil weevil
activities. Bright and warm weather
again would undoubtedly cause an
easier feeling and lead to much SELL
ing. Weather conditions of the near
future are doubly important because
the June condition period ends this
coming week on Friday.

BOIL WEEVIL KEEPS BUSY.
Warm Weather Proves of Value to
Cotton Crop.

Cope, June 17.-With the ther-
mometer ranging around SO degrees
in the morning to SO degrees in the
afternoon in offices here, the cotton
crop, which has been held back so
long, is making considerable strides
to improvement, but good many Of
the farmers have found the boil wee
vii actively at work puncturing the
young squares, and conjectures for a
cotton crop are varied indeed. While
cotton in growth is improving, corn,
watermelons, peanuts, and potatoes
are all needing rain badly. Vegeta-
Bile gardens are almost burned up and
will yield little or nothing from now
on unless much rain is had at an early
date. rr

Even, After All.

A suspicious-looking customer was
boasting to a grocer of the cheapness
of ten pounds of sugar he had bought
at rival shop.
Let me weigh the package said
the grocer.
The other assented, and it was
found two pounds short.
The man looked perpleXed for a
moment and then said: II don't think
he cheated me much, for while he
was getting the sugar I pocketed two
tins of condensed milk. ."-Edinbucg

AS the motor car sped along the
lonely country road the young man
bent over his fair passenger with a
sentimental air.
"At last, Vera, at last we are
alone." he breathed bashfully. How
I have longed for this moment. May

His temerity startled him much
more than it startled the girl. With
quick toss of her head she threw
the veil back clear of her face.

piled quietly. Cant you see have

PLANTED LONG STAPLE.
Bamberg Farmer Makes His First
Venture in Valuable Crop.

Ill
C. w. Rentz, Sr., who owns one of
the most valuable small farms in ths
state right in the edge Of Bamberg, is
experimenting this year with long sta
pie cotton. Several Bamberg county
farmers have planted small acreage
of long staple in recent years with
more or less success, and Mr.. Rentz
has this year for the first time plant
ed seven acres of this valuable crop.
Mr.. Rentz's "dairy farm" is high
ly developed piece of property, and
the land on which the long staple is
planted made last year two bales OF
Toole cotton per acre. Of course long
staple is not expected to do nearly so
we'll as this, but Mr.. Rentz says that
if the long staple crop makes only one
bale per acre it will be far more prof
table than two bales of ordinary cot
ton. Long staple is now quoted at
around one dollar the pound, while
short staple is worth around AZ cents.
If a bale of cotton per acre is picked,
this will mean two and one-half times
the value of short staple cotton.
Mr.. RentZ also has several acres
planted in peanuts this year, and this
is his first experience with peanuts as
a profit crop.

Ole Olson to be Attraction.

At the Liberty Theatre March 20.
This clean Swede play ranks amongst
the very best on the road and al
though it is intensely funny it also
boasts of splendid plot and even at
times a touch of pathos. Dave Will
liams, the we'll known comedian, will
be seen in the part of Ole and the
press and public are unanimous in
declaring him the best Swede actor>on
the stage today. There are many
hearty laughs coming to the patrons
of the Liberty when they see this
splendid play, and there is not one dull
moment in the entire three acts. The
company comprise such popular actors
as Corey Hunt, Dollie Diamond, Laur-
ence Goss, and others who all add to
the attraction of this enjoyable play.

Feed. Cost of Raising Heifers.

The Importance of providing cheap
feed for growing heifers and practic-
ing thoro culling is brought out by the
results of feeding experiments recent
ly completed by the Dairy Division,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. In these experiments groups of
calves were fed from birth to l year
and years of age and a record kept
of all feed consumed.
In one experiment, IL heifer calves
were raised to the age of year. The
amount of feed consumed by each calf
was as follows: Hay, 571.S pounds;
grain, 1858 pounds; silage 3,6931
pounds; milk, ITO pounds; skim milk,
2,414 pounds. Estimating the hay at
$50 per ton, grain at $50 and silage
at SO per ton, milk at cents and skim
milk at y cent per pound, the cost of
raising each heifer to l year of age
was s72.42.
Five of the calves from the first ex-
pertinent were then fed for one more
year. During this second year each
calf consumed on the average 1,117.8

ORGANIZE ON NEW
LINES
New Farmers Organization to Combat
Speculation and PrOfiteering in
His Products.

A new Idaho farmers organization,
with a strong cooperative message,
has been launched in Wilder, and pro-
misses to gain large membership over
the state. w, w. Bates of Wilder, is
the moving spirit. The organization,
which plans a state convention at
Caldwell soon, is affiliated with the
u S. American Federation Of Farm
ers. The declaration Of principles
states:
"The form of government of this or
ganization shall be practical, compre-
hensive democracy. Each individual
farmer will be led to see that he is
largely responsible for the conditions
under which he labors. In the recon-
struction, the farming industry must
undergo complete revolution.
"a new dawn has appeared which
has caused universal dissatisfaction to
the agriculturist from an economic
point of view. The enlightened farm
er Of this country will never return
to the old custom of producing crops
and feeding stock and hauling and
driving them TO market and then fold
his hands and submit to others spec
uIAting and profiteering on the pro-
duct of his soil. He must develop the
business and marketing interests Of
his industry.
at is impossible for state and gov
eminent officials to establish sue
cessful and satisfactory agricultural
policy because of the fact that al
most in their entirety they are not
practical farmers, and it is impossible
for them to have the farmers inter
ests at heart sufficiently to render the
aid and encouragement which is nee
essary to bring satisfactory results.
The farmer must work out his ,wn
problems and gratefully receive assist
ance from whatever source it may
come, therefore, this organization
must have two main objects in view:
First, to establish and maintain har-
mony and affiliation between all
sound present existing trainers or
CARNATIONS; and second, friendly CO.
operation with other classes"
Mr.. Bates says, "Tired of being ex-
plotted by political and sociahstic shy
sters, we propose to form a business
organization which can go squarely
before other business bodies, and Sc
cure cooperation and give it along
legitimate business lines. All we ask
is justice We seek no undue class ad-
vantage. Business men generally who
understand the situation are receiv-
ing US cordially. They realize the de-
STABILITY and the necessity of closer
relationship as means of working
out our mutual problems, and doing
1t without the expense and annoyance
of agitators."

early life in going to school. 1t is
true that at the present time youth
may be able to secure position that
pays very well for him now, but as he
advances in age, will he also advance
in his work? Will he have the ability
to fill position of responsibility
without the proper education.
Thinking some statistics along this
line from Emmett would be interest
ing, the Economics class Of the High
school made quite an extensive canvas
Of the city, gathering data. The
questionaires included, among other
things, the wage-earner's age, the ex-
tent Of his education, his employment,
number Of years in this position, and
his salary.
After gathering our data and going
over it very carefully, we found there
were seven illiterate persons, whose
average age was 81 years, receiving
an average salary of $108.60. AS COM
pared with this there was one man So
years of age with an education of
three years, with salary of 800 per
month Undoubtedly this comparison
is an exception and generally incor-
rect. We found AZ had discontinued
school after finishing the eight years.
The average age was al years, and
average salary was $137. Nineteen
had completed the High school course.
OF this number the average age was
% years and received an average sal
airy of $40 or So per month increase
in the group Of Eight grade graduates
Eight had completed the college course
or sixteen years of education, an aver
age age of SO, and average salary of
$3.50 per month.
There are several things to be con-
sidered, however, which may alter the
normal conditions to a great extent
Perhaps the greatest of these is per-
sonal ability, If man is content to
remain at the bottom, beginner all
his life, certainly he will not advance
in his work or anything else, no mat
ter how much education he may have.
Certainly education alone cannot make
a success Of any man. 1t is simply
beginning, a foudation for greater
work accomplished by desire and eff
fort on his own part. Then, too, we
must consider the time in this position
and his age. If he is yet young man,
perhaps he has not been employed in
his work long enough to have made
very great advance. And last, the
prevailing conditions of labor through
out the country. At present, unskilled
labor is in very great demand, and a
man with little or-no education may
secure work very easily and receive a
good salary, but, will it always re-
main so? and if not, what assurance
has the uneducated laborer of work,
when only the skilled are needed
Certainly one should prepare and be
ready if this ever happens, and we
have no assurance that it will not
So, after careful study, and putting
much thought on this with facts be-
fore US which we cannot disregard,
l am sure we all agree that the more
education a man has, the greater his
opportunities for advancement along
any line of work he might care to take
as his life work.

figures for computing the cost of rails
ing heifer from birth until 2 years
of age was s157.96. These figures
emphasize the necessity of providing
cheap feed for heifers, such as pas

portance of carefully culling the heif-
ers to avoid raising those which will
prove to be inferior cows.
