FARM BUREAU NOTES.

The finding Of Scabies in Jack
son County has suggested the
subject Of Animal disease to us
and possibly some Of US are Won
dering about the exact nature of
the disease. Also there are other
diseases, such as Septicemia, Abor-
ton, Blackleg, etc. which we
would like to have discussed by a
compctant authority.
With this in mind Dr.. {. $. we
aver, of the Extension Department
5. Oak. State College, has been ask
ed to spend a week in the County
and talk upon these subjects. DR..
Weaver is an interesting talker
and will be glad to help out in
some Of our Community Programs
He will be here May 23rd and
the schedule of meetings will be
in next weeks issue.
Boys and Girls Club work has
started out with a vim this year.
About l25 boys and girls are en-
rolled in the various clubs and pl-
ans are being made for a Club Ac-
hievement day in the County when
the Boys and Girls will exhibit
their work and compete for priz-
cs. The Boys and Girls are talk
ing about the Club Camp at Rap
id City the week of July llth and
we expect TO take a good repre-
sentation from the County to that
camp.
The principle interest in club
work this year has been along the
lines of Poultry, Sewing, Garden,
Pig, and Corn clubs. Later in the
summer the Canning clubs will
probbly get under way nd so the
summer months will be spent in
something profitable for the boys
nd girls as we'll as giving them a
chance to be really useful in thcir
homes nd communities.
Rodent Control work will be 4
continuous project this summer
The poison has been secured and
twenty bushels Of bait that will
tickle the palates Of the Prairie
dogs has been mixed. The bait
will be available at the County Az
cnts office at any time.
The plan for the Campaign is to
work by townships or communit'
les and destroy all the pests as
we go. The community plan has
been the most successful in other
Counties engaged in this work
and we may as well profit by the
ir cXperiancc. Let's all cooperate
on this movement nd give the Prt
irie dog Farewell Banquet which
will go down in the record books
| as the best yet.

HOG ISLANDER
YAWPS
Forgets Big Jobbery During
War and Raps Labor

Atlantic City, N. AT a conven-
tion of business men in this city,
Peter o. Knight, of Tampa, Fla, de
clared that the business men of the
United States must inform Samuel
Gompers and the labor leaders that
the people of the United States are
not going to live under the constitu-
tion of the American Federation of
Labor and the red flag of anarchy"
During the war Mr.. Knight was
vice president and counsel for the
corporation that operated the Hog
Island ship yard at Philadelphia. The
jobbery at Hog Island was a subject
of discussion on more than one occa-
sion in the United States senate, and
one law maker declared that the
island ''was properly named"
Mr.. Knight should be an authority
on anarchy. During the recent strike
of cigarmakers in his city posse of
respectable citizens ordered an organ
izer to leave that city. The trade
unionist recalled the lynching of other
trade unionists in the same city and

NOTHING in NAME
Where British Triple Ali.
ance is Supposed Dead

Manchester, England.-The Man
chester Guardian, one of Great Brit
aims sanest newspapers, makes this
editorial comment on the supposed
death of the triple alliance:
"The refusal of the railway men
and transport workers to come out
with the miners, as they had prom
ised, was naturally supposed to have
killed the triple alliance. Perhaps it
has, in name at all events. But the
name matters little. What matters is
that if any one of these three groups
is on strike the other two are almost
automatically affected That is why,
in spite of their so-called desertion,
the railway men found that they
could not, in fact, preserve neutrality
as trade unionism defines neutrality
in industrial disputes.
Rather than be accused of 'scab-
bing,' the railway men decided not
to handle industrial coal The trans
port workers have now decided to
adopt a similar policy and to refuse
to load or unload ships bunkered with
foreign coal
at is, therefore, by no means GER
tain, even yet, that the dispute may
not be extended to the railway men
and transport workers."

CHIRP FREEDOM"
But Would Tie Workers
Hands

Minneapolis.-One of the most
high-handed instances of contract
breaking in the northwest can be
credited to printing trades employers,
in this city, backed by the citizens
alliance. The employers have an
agreement with the printing trade
unions, signed June l, 1919, to con-
tinue to June /, 1921. The contract
is automatically renewed unless
either party serves notice on the
other before April / that changes are
desired.
Before the time limit expired for
submission of application for
changes, the Typographical Union
notified employers that they would
discuss changes. The employers ig-
nored the contract and refused to
meet the unions representatives.
The union then attempted to nego-
tiate individual agreements and the
citizens alliance notified these en-
ployers that they would be boycotted.
The banks also dropped hints of their
power to call loans and refuse credit.
In the meantime the citizens alli-
ance gaily chirps its song about
freedom" and 'the right of every
man to run his own business"

One BIG UNION
Would Squelch Free Speech

Winnipeg, Canada.-A handful of
one big union advocates showed how
far they will go in upholding free
speech when they attempted to howl
down Tom Moore, president of the
Trades and Labor Congress, of Can
ada, at mass meeting in this city.
''If you think you are going to in
timidate this individual, you are mis-
taken," said Moore. He challenged
the o. b. u to show what it has ac-
complished in two years, outside of
friction among wage earners.
The so-called revolutionists did
what their kind always do-favor free
speech if the speaker expresses senti-
ments they favor. If not, they use
methods employed by the worst op-
pressor of labor.
President Moore charged the 0. b. u.
with causing a condition by which
the employers could use one set of
workers against the other. AS re-
suit the workers are quarreling with
each other and wasting valuable op-
portunities while the standard of liv-
ing is being forced down.

HOW PACKERS
G0UCE
Buy at Pre-war Prices While
Upholding Own Price

Neutrality-suspicious. Chicago meat
packers have forced farmers prices
down to pre-war levels while uphold
ing their own prices, was shown by
Congressman Mclaughlin, of Nebras-
ka, who quoted from the National
Provisioner, published by the meat
packers.
In the second week in April, 1921,
the average price of cattle on hoof
in the Chicago market had fallen to
1925 a hundred. This is the same
price at which they sold the first
week in February, 1916. The first
week in February, 1914, the average
price was $3.50.

Mclaughlin, ''may be said to have
returned to the pre-war level"
Against these figures are presented
the meat packers wholesale prices
which show an aggregate increase of
2915 per cent for carcass beef in Chi
cago
The wholesale price of whole
dressed hogs advanced 36.6 per cent
during the same period, while large
increases are recorded in every pro-
duct of beef and pork

ELECTRICITY TO BE
USED

Chicago-In a repart to the con
vention of the National Electric Light
Association, a committee predicted
that electricity will be the economical
transportation factor of the immedi-
ate future. This conclusion is based
on years investigation. In urging
public utilities to prepare for serving
current to move railroad trains, the
committee said:
"There are now in the United
States alone about $500 power COM
panies operating about 1000 power
houses, which are ready to deliver
power to the railroads in the form of
electrical energy. These power
houses can produce at least double
the amount of energy of steam loco
motive for the same coal input."
