Greedy Landlord Is Handed Just
: : jolt by Forward-Looking
New York Court.

NEW YORK. Sept. 2.-supreme
Court Justice Scudder gave an as
tute lawyer and his greedy landlord
client d lesson in elemental justice in
the case of a poor tenant who failed
to take advantage of his rights. The
landlord attempted to secure an
custer order from the court. Justice
Scudder said this was the work of
municipal Judges, but he would han
die the case. To the surprise of the
landlord and his attorney the court
assigned one of the best known law
yers in Brooklyn to protect the ten
ants interests and ordered the case
put in it's regular place on the court
calendar. This means that the case
will not be reached for a year.

where he worked at his trade. He
remained there until 1887 when he
removed to Duluth. When he lived
in Fergus Falls the knights of Labor
came into being. A mixed assembly
was organized there and Mr.. Baker
promptly joined it. He was trans-
ferred to the Duluth assembly, but
on his arrival he found that the car
penters had union and he promptly
became affiliated with it.

Baker became a member Of Duluth

HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 2.-Pub-
licists who talk about strike losses
when a group Of workers demand
higher living standards are ignoring
the charge of Clifford Pinchot, chief
forester Of this state, that Penlisyl-
vania's forests are denuded and that
100000 acres OF idle land costs the
people 1oo,ooO.o0e a year.
In freight charges alone this lack
.of efficiency is costing Pennsylvania
$25,00O,000 year for lumber brought
into the state.
Tree cutting goes on without re-
growth Of trees" says the forester.
This means forest devastation. It
means neglect Of our true economic
interests that borders on the criminal.

Harding also voted for the Bor-
4 government employees, which labor
opposed.
Three Of Harding's senatorial ac-
tions which the committee finds OBJ
5ectionable dealt with recent railroad
.Yegislation, in that he voted against
tho motion to extend federal control
81 the roads for two years and voted
for the final passage Of the Cum
tmins-Esch bill containing the anti
strike provision. When the bill came
back from conference still containing
provisions Objectionable to labor,
Harding was paired for the bill and
against labor.
Harding's other votes to which the
committee objects as unfavorable to
labor were for a motion to strike
the labor charter from the league Of
nations covenant, and for the substi-
tute offered by his colleague, Sem
ator Pomerene of Ohio, to the civil
service retirement bill.
Harding voted twice favorable to
labor on the bill to restrict lmmigra
ton, on the soldiers and sailors civil
rights bill, war risk insurance, wo-
man suffrage, a proposition to in
crease the appropriation for the bur-
eau of conciliation, department Of
labor, and against the amendment of
Senator Myers of Montana to the
civil service retirement bill which
would have prohibited federal en-
ployes from affiliatfng . with organ

MADE THEIR OWN OIL WELL
How Two Small Boys Reaped Rich
Reward for the Exercise of
a Little Ingenuity.

Two barefoot boys, respectively
eleven and twelve years of age, earned
forty-five hundred dollars in one week,
according to the Oil Weekly of Dallas,
Texas. by combining thrift and ingenu-
ity in telling manner. Much oil was
going TO waste in the Northwest
Burkburnett oil field because the pipe
lines were inadequate, when the boys,
who are brothers, saw crude oil from a
broken pipe running down a small
ravine. Hitching a donkey TO rattle
trap spring wagon, they began to haul
dirt to dam the ravine and succeeded
after much hard work in collecting a
great quantity Of oil.
The owner appeared on the scene
about that time, and he admired the
pluck of the youngsters. He did not
claim the oil outright, although it had
been his, but offered the youngsters
one dollar and a half a barrel salvage
for 1t. The youngsters accepted his
offer and, perching themselves on their
new dam with stubs of pencils, check
ed out the oil as it was hauled away.
1t tailed exactly three thousand bar
rels, and the boys got their money.

Fewer Fins Reach Market.

The fig yield of the vilayet of Alden
has arisen from approximately 5000
tons raised on 10000 acres of land
about thirty years ago to about $4,000
tons raised on 25,000 acres. However,
this advance in supply has not kept
pace with the demand, and prices of
figs have steadily risen. The big pro-
ducing areas are, under normal icondi-
tons, exclusively tapped by the Otto
man (Aiden) Railway cOmpany's sys-
TEN. The orchards, located mainly in
the Meander valley, are owned chiefly
by Turks. The best figs are produced
in the Inovassi and Ortaxe districts.
The product is marketed in Smyrna,
where the figs are packed in accord
ance with the demand of the region to
which the figs are exported. Blight,
neglected fertilization and lack of COM
munication have cut down this seasons
export output to about 10000 tons.
Exports went to the United States
(about 1900 tons) the United Kingdom
(5,500 tons), and European entente
countries (about 1000 tons).
