COMPULSORY WORK
LAWS IN BULGARIA
STARTS suspicious
Neighbor Nations Fear
War Organization Con-
cealed Under Move.
Especial Cable to The wsshinstsn Herald
and Chicago rhsune)
BY L. G, POPOFF.


SOFIA, June 4. From reliable
sources II ds reported that the COM
pulsory labor law In Bulgaria has
provoked serious troubles in the
neighboring countries of Greece,
Serbia and Rumania- All the three
have considered this law as q new
constitution of the military forces
of Bulgaria, and thereby contrary
to the stipulatiens Of the peace
treaty OF Neuiliy. 1t Is rumored that
these states are about to make col
iective steps before the Bulgarian
government with a view OF request
ing abrogation of the law.
Labor Law Genesis
The genesis of the compulsory
labor law. as II Is known, originates
from the bad and embarrassing
financial and economical situation In
which Bulgaria has found herself
on the termination OF the war. The
lack OF financial resources. depre-
citation of the Bulgarian currency.
as we'll as the insupportable war
indemnity, are, no doubt, the leading
factors that have pressed upon the
Bulgarian government to adopt a
new policy of internal recuperation
of the country. This is the policy
of Undertaking strict economies in
the state budget, of reducing the
state employees personnel, and OF
restoring the national economy by
means of the compulsory labor OF
Bulgarisns.
Labor Service Forced.
The law for compulsory labor has
been enforced in many communities
throughout the kingdom. while
1000 more are preparing to fall In
line. The population has willingly
and enthusiastically appeared to
fulfll its labor service. which, un-
der the technical management Of
engineers, has built a network of
new roads. improved the old ones.
and the drainage system in many
parts OF the country. The result
has been big saving to the state
treasury.
Citisens Called Upon.
The Soma citizens have been also
summoned on labor service, and the
FIRST group Of about 1000 men are
working round the city making new
roads. Provisions are made that
all Sofia citizens liable to the labor
service, numbering more than 30, 1000
men. are to be summoned shortly
on compulsory labor for the COM
pletion of projects designed to i'm
prove the conditions in the city.
Because of the results by COM
pulsory labor service, II is. believed
here that the entente will give no
ear to objections coming from Bull
garia's neighbora

the rent act is not continued there
is hardly a tenant who has ap-
pealed to the commission who
would not be elected either for

BELL CASTING IN OLD JAPAN
People Gather in Thousands to Wit
ness Ceremony Which Has Deep
Religious Significance.

Tie making of the bell in old Japan
was accomplished by great and solemn
rites, Marjorie Latta Barstow writes
in Asia. For months, sometimes for
years, the community had been con-
tributing Of it's bronze and copper or
naments and precious possessions.
For many days before the casting
there were prayers to determine the
suspicious moment at which to begin,
and to put all spiritual beings and
ministers of grace in a propitious
mood. Pilgrims came from all the
surrounding country, for the Japanese
Of long ago loved a pilgrimage as
much as do their descendants today
and made Of their act of piety ar op-
portunity to enjoy a little festivity
and see something Of the great world.
On the appointed day, men gathered
in their finest attire. Then the priests
appeared in rich ecclesiastical bro
cades and the workmen in robes beau
tiful and sanctified. With prayer and
ceremony the work reached it's climax.
The great molds were prepared and
the flaming, molten mass, into which
had gone so many precious things,
was to them what the dedication of a
cathedral was to the believers Of the
middle ages. Before their eyes and
with their own cooperation, some
thing intangible and divine assumed
shape and tangibility. Many went
away to become heroes in their viii
lagos because they had participated
in the making Of the great bell, which
became more precious and mysterious
as time went on, and they passed on
to their children's children, eve down
to this day, the souvenirs of the occa-
sion, inscribed with prayers by the
presiding priests.

MEMORIAL HALL FUND
is VOTED BY SENATE

Memorial hall now holds definite
promise of becoming a reality, the SEN
ate having passed. after rather a spir-
tied debate, the appropriation Of
100000 for the building. 1t is pro-
posed to house the supreme court, the
supreme court library, the historical
library, the state museum, and the adj
.iutant generals quarters i'll the new
building, the foundation for which al
ready has been laid near the capitol
building. The structure would be ded-
icated in memory of North Dakota's
war heroes.
Part of the material for this build
ing already is ON hand and the foun-
dalton is ready for the superstrucrure.
1t is the hope of those who cham
pioned the movement that work can
be put under way at a very early date.
The appropriation measure for the
completion of the hall was intro
duced at the behest Of the administra-
ton, but the debate did not follow
party lines, some Nonpartisans oppos-
ing it and others favoring it, while
most Of the Independents favored the
expenditure.

RETAIN THEIR WILD INSTINCT
Herds of "Tame" Buffalo Have Much
in Common With Their Brethren
Who Have Freedom.


The tame" buffalo Of Yellowstone
National Park, are tame only in the
name of speaking. They retain all
the habits of the original wild species.
For instance, they r able, without
fail, to predict a heavy storm fer one
or two days in advance. AS the buff
falo Of the old plains were known to
do, they point the storm, standing
with the head toward the point from
which it afterward breaks. Another
sign of uneasiness induced by heavy
weather is the stiffIegged leaping and
running about in circles Which often
mark the herd just before a storm
breaks on their range. They live prac-
tically in all respects the wild life of
the so-called wild herd Of the park,
with the exception that they are
watched by horsemen and are fed hay
during the most inclement weather of
the winter. The ranges Of the tame and
wild herds overlap to some extent, and
without doubt they occasionally inter-
breed. The original hope, which has
not been realized, was that some of the
tame herd would drift off and become
members Of the wild herd.

Ant Engineers.

1t has been found that the popula-
ton of an ant hill has solved many
complicated mining problems. Thou
sands Of ants working instinctively
perform miraculous engineering feats
with amazing efficiency and without
profiteering. Each ant finds it's own
work and the team work when the big
problems must be solved is surprising
ly efficient. When one shift of workers
tires or must stop for food or rest it's
place is taken by other workers equally
skillful so that not q moment is lost.
When an ant becomes covered with
dirt others Immediately clean it by
washing and brushing. During their
mining operations in digging holes and
removing stones an ant is often in
jured, whereupon others rush to its
assistance and carry it to a quieter
gallery where first aid may be admins
tered. The resourcefllness of these
little engineers has been found to an.
ticipate many of u recent efficiency
methods.-Boys' Life.

PROPER SIZE OF CONTAINERS

Strong Enough.

Much dissatisfaction with direct
marketing has been caused by using
containers that were 10 sufficiently
strong. That is especially true when
containers are used more than once

Agriculture. Shipping containers
should be light in weight but sufficient
ly durable to carry the produce

The proper size of a container de

House Names.

1 liked the English habit of naming
their houses; it shows the Importance
they attach to their homes. All about
the suburbs of London and in the out
lying villages l noticed nearly every
house and cottage had some appropri-
ate designation, as Terrace house, Oak
tree house, Ivy cottage, or some villa,
etc., usually cut into the stone gate
post, and this name is put on the adj
dress of the letters. How much bet
ter to be known by your name than
by your number! I believe the same
custom prevails in the country. ].
1t is a good feature. A house or n
farm with an appropriate name. which
everybody recognizes, must have an
added value and importance.-John

EXERCISE FOR SOWS
OF BIG IMPORTANCE
Necessary to Use Good judy
ment in Management.
Corn Alone Is Very Poor Feed for
Pregnant Animals Because It
Lacks in Essential Protein
and Mineral Matter,

e. F. Ferrin, in charge of swine pro-
duction at University Farm. st. Paul,
Mimi. believes that good judgment in
the car and handling of brood sows
during the winter is as necessary as
good feed in making a success with the
pig crop.
1.-THE cheapest grain for brood
sows,". he says, 'is corn, but this feed
alone is a very poor one for pregnant
sows or gifts. Corn lacks in protein
and mineral matter, each of which is
essential II strong pigs are to be pro-
duced. Oats will supplement corn
fairly we'll, and a ration of two-thirds
corr and one-third oats is reasonably
good. One, of the best feeds to be used
with corn is meat meal or tankage, the
proportion Of n part to nine or ten
of corn. Alfalfa or clover hay is an
