Seriously Damaged

With regard to the damage done
by the recent frost, the county ageh'

serious as was at first believed, even
though the temperature was below
the danger point several nights. The
early pears, especially the Bartletts'
have been heavily thinned, and the

FARM LABORERS
STRIKE AGAINST
SUNSET HOUR

SANTIAGO, Chile.--The first farm
laborers' strike in Chile was called
recently by several hundred workers
on the 20, ,000-acre estate Of an Eng
'lish woman near here. While the
actual movement was confined to one
farm and involved a relatively small
humber OF men, 1t attracted wide
spread interest and has been pointed
lout as marking the beginning Of q
new era in the existing relations be-
tween the land proprietor and the
NChilean agricultural laborer.
The immediate cause OF the trou-
bile, II is said, was the refusal of the
laborers to continue working until
sunset during harvest, according to
ythe long established custom in this
country. The provincial governor in
Ivestigated the strike and announced
'"there had been current OF propa-
;ganda passing between the Chilean
federation OF labor and workers on
various farms in the department. |"
The workers also demanded increased
wages, dismissal of the overseers and
|the right to organize. The latter was
pgranted, and the dispute finally was
settled after President Alesandri had
hdmonished the men to return to the
fields.
h The 'inquilinor system prevails
ION most OF the large estates, which
form characteristic feature of the
farming region of central Chile. Un-
der the system. the worker is given
possession OF plot Of land for pur-
poses of cultivation, q house and
rights OF pasturage. On the estate
where the strike took place the daily
wages were so centaves (about is
cents at normal exchange).
Tho South Pacific Mail, discussing
the strike, says relations between
the employer and employe on the
farms hitherto have been somewhat
patriarchal. The patron has been the
ultimate court of appeal, and III
might be said, absolute master of the
liberties, II not the lives. of the peas
.Antry, who are linked to these es-
tates by the 'inquilno' sysetm. On the
great haciendas (farms) the laborers
and their families have remained for
many years In a virtual state Of feu-
dial servitude. II is not surprising.
therefore, that at the present day,
when the self-consciousness OF the
worker all over the world has awak-
Iened. that the Chilean peon should
seek some amelioration OF his often
hard lot"
The owner of the estate where the
lleborers went on strike said the walk
Iout was the direct result OF action of
s'subversiye elements" She declared
she had provided her employees with
good homes. schools and medical at
tendance.

Prospective Guests Alarmed

A fine point in international ETH
quette is being raised in connec-
ton with the coming conference
for the limitation of ornaments.
The question is whether the Amer
lean hotel, which is to be the head
quarters of the French delegation,
is to be regarded as extra-territor-
lal, as are the foreign embassies in
our national capital.
Ii the hotel in question is re-
garded as extra-territorial, it will
mean that the laws of France, not
those OF the United States, will be
IN effect within its walls. In par
tlcular, it means that the members
OF the French delegation will be
permitted to use wines and other
liquors, which would otherwise be
unlawful in America. It seems to
be regarded as really important
point by our French visitors owing
to their belief that ice water is
harmful to their digestions.

Repairing Hot Water Bottle

Repairing Hot Water Bottle
Adhesive tape will repair a leak
ing rubber hot water bottle. Place
a piece of tape over the broken
spot, allowing it to dry or harden
on, then place another piece of
tape over the first piece, continu-
ing until three or four thicknesses
have been applied, when the hot
water bottle will be as good as
new.
In making lemonade try to put
the lemon, rind and all, through
the food chopper. 1t gives the
lemonade a flavor you will like.
Put the pineapple through the
food chopper. 1t is far better and
easier than grating it or shredding
it with fork. Put a pan under
the chopper to catch the juice and
there is no waste.
The juice of half a lemon in a
cup of hot water on first arising in
the morning is an excellent liver
corrective and successful substi-
tute for calomel and other drugs.
Lemon juice and olive oil, equal
parts, are superior to vinegar for
salad dressing.
Take slices Of ham and put in a
dish. Cover with milk. Let stand

Mouse Parts Man and Wife

The divorce evil is growing con.
stantly more serious according to
reports from the large cities. The
pretexts that are used surpass i'm
aglnation and are apparently be-
coming more frivolous.
A new one was presented recent
ly by a woman in Chicago. She
testified that her husband had
placed a live mouse in her bed for
the purpose Of frightening her. She
did not claim that he had expected
the little animal to injure her in
any manner. Rather his motive
was admitted to be sportive, as he
appeared to regard the matter in
the light of a joke. The wife was
unable to take this view of the af-
fair. Instead she went into court
with the direful story; and SYM
pathetic judge decided that it was
a case which justified the disrup-
ton of the home.

ages of the past may be put down
as so much wasted breath.
There are certain good teachers
who know secret that parents
have missed; namely, that ideals
may be planted in childrn's minds
by means of stories, provided these
stories are not spoiled in the tell
ing. These teachers have two
rules. One is to create the most
intense interest possible at the
particular point in the story where
the ideal is shown at work; and
the other is to pause as the child's
mind meets it. In this moment of
silence, when interest is at high
pitch, the mysterious work is often
accomplished; and henceforth the
ideal will be found actually guild
ing the child's thoughts and con-
trolling his actions.
1t may be true that ideals can
not be impaired ''by rule of
thumb" Yet the foregoing pro-
cedure seems very often to achieve
the desired end. Moreover, par
ents, and especially mothers, can
use it with telling effect in the
training of their little ones. In
any case, they should give more
attention than they do to stor.
telling; and if they would learn to
add the master touch of the skill
full teacher described above, they
would doubtless find their efforts
to fix high ideals in the minds of
their children surprisingly in
creased in effectiveness.

A Port of Wandering Boys

The medical colleges are COM
planning that it is becoming in
creasingly difficult to secure sup
ply of human bodies for dissection
purposes in their classes. In fact
the difficulty is SO great that sew
eral Of these institutions have
nearly given up in despair and are
trying to think of some way to
eliminate this disagreeable feature
from their courses of study.
The strange turn that the situa-
ton has taken is that certain Off
Gals of medical colleges are at
tributing the shortage of bodies to
the prohibition amendment; and
this is actually being urged in
some quarters as an argument for
it's repeal.

Marriage for Gain Banned

The little town of Elkton, Mary
land, appears to have lost it's claim
to notoriety. 1t has of late been
the Mecca of very many young
couples who wished to be joined in
wedlock, but who were unable for
sone reason or another to persuade
the accredited officials Of their res
pective communities to perform
the ceremonies.
The reason for going to Elkton
was that certain retired minister
had set out to build up a business
of this kind. He protested him
self so anxious to see young people
welded that he would marry
whomsoever might come with no
questions asked. Indeed he even
went so far as to divide his fees
with the taxicab drivers who
brought couples to him.
Now his prosperous business has
been brought tp a sudden end. He
was recently tried by church Off
cials and forced1to resign from the
ministry.

The plan provides that the pres

In England a new law is in
process of enactment that will alter
greatly the legal standing OF
woman.
1t provides that a wife shall in
herit the property of a husband
dying without a will just as hus-
band now inherits the property OF
a wife in the same circumstances,
that a mother may inherit the
property of her dead son or daugh-
ter who has left no will, just as the
father may at present; and that
in case both parents are alive, the
legacy from child shall be di.
vided equally between them in.
stead of its all going to the father
as is the case now.

A Peace-Time Victory
+ + i + + + + + ~ + 81 + + 4

There is a legend that king of
Burma became a leper about one
thousand years ago; and renoun-
cling his throne, he went into exile
in the wilderness. Here he was
miraculously cured by an oil,
which he, himself, prepared from
the seeds of a rare tree, whose
name was preserved but whose
place of abode has since been un-
known.
The tradition has survived; and
finally scientists began to give it
some attention. Seeds Of the tree
were obtained in some oriental
markets and the Oil prepared from
them was tried upon lepers with
astonishing success. Professor
j. F. Rock, an American, was then
commissioned to organize an ex-
petition to find the unknown tree.
His quest led him through many
unexplored parts Of southeastern
Asia. His only clues we're the re-
ports of natives that the tree grew
in some distant land, but not in
their own. Finally he succeeded;
and he returned not long ago bear
ing both germinable seeds and the
knowledge of the conditions under
which the tree will thrive.
While his search was in progress,
the oil was being used in the lepe1
colonies of Hawaii. Recently two
hundred lepers were discharged
there as cured. No such thing has
ever happened before in all human
history.
