WARNS RAIL LABOR
OF NEW WAGE CUTS
Atterbury Tells Pennsylvania
Employees Further Reduc-
tiOns Must Be Made.
RECEIYERSHIP ALTERNATIVE
That or Government Ownership, He
Holds, Cannot Be Avoided il
Present Wages Stand.

Wages on the Pennsylvania anC
other railroads of the country mus
be reduced still further or the rail
roads will face a receiVership or Gov
ernment ownership, General w. w
Atterbury, Vice President of the
Pennsylvania, told the roads employ
ees at the annual meeting of the Mu-
tual Beneficial Association of the
railroad.
The industrial and financial SUI
premacy of the United States is now
unquestiOned, said General After
bury, yet we are suffering right now
from one of the greatest panics we
ever had. The world wants what we
manufacture, and we, with six or sew
en- millions of men out of employ
ment, want the opportunity to sell the
world whatever we can manufacture.
That same problem exists all over the
world.
There is only one solution to the
problem, and that is liquidation. How
will it affect us? Well the farmers
will say, we have liquidated and are
selling wheat at 81 a bushel.' The in
dustries say they too, have liQuidated.
They claim steel is selling at pre-war
prices, for example. But there are two
outstanding features in liquidation
that are not yet materially touched
These are coal and transportation.
Both, curiously enough, have been
touched with the damning effect of
Government control. Then, too, the
farmers are united and the industries
are sOlidly united. They both say to
the railroads, get your rates down or
we will get them down for you
Perhaps you have noticed refer
ences to group control in Congress.
Well, that is one of the things in their
minds-rate lowering.
Nov, the question is, what does a
reduction in rates mean to us? You in
the Accounting Department know our
earnings today are insufficient to meet
interest, sinking fund charges and
dividends. Whatever we are doing now
is at the sacrifice of the property.
ALREADY there has been a IL per
cent reduction in wages. 1t has af-
fected us all. You, who are in close
touch with operation, know better
than 1 whether there can be a still
further reduction in operation costs
or use of material. There is nothing
much left but still further reduc-
tiOn in wages.
"It is not pleasant for me to have to
suggest to you this matter, nor is it
pleasant for you to hear. That is fac
ing us, unless we want receiVership
or Government ownership.
eff a receivership comes to the
countrys railroads there will be moth
ing left then for them to do but to
reduce wages. We must view this sit
uation as citizens of a great country,
with a duty to perform outside of our
own individual selfish feelings. Rates
must come down. If it is not volun-
tarily, it will be forced by legislation"
AS General Atterbury was leaving
the room he was called back by the
Chairman.
Everybody in this room who is
with the General in this, raise his |
hand" called the Chairman. All hands
were raised. The General thanked |
them for their support and left.

CLOVER AND ALFALFA CROPS
Seed Should Be scarified and Soil In
ocuIated for Greatest Success
Cut Out Weeds.

The seed of all clOvers and alfalfa
should be scarified and the soil inocu.
lated with the appropriate bacteria,
for greatest success. The soil for al
falfa, especially, should be well pre-
pared, free from perennial weeds in
Guiding all grasses. Sweet clover is
not so exacting in this respect, al
though even in this crop, CAREFUL cul-
ture will have its own reward. Red.
alsike and white or Dutch clover may
be mixed with the grasses in limited
amounts for hay or pasture. Under
irrigation, where there is greater
chance of success, they may be used
quite extensively.

FLOWING FOR BEST RESULTS
Little SubsoiI Turned to Surface occa-
sionally Permits Elements to
Act Freely.

It has been abundantly proved that
it is not good to plow a field the same
depth from year to year. By plOwing
shallow or at a uniform depth, the soil
cannot become mixed well and hard
bed is formed at the bottom of the
furrow, which neither air, water, nor
the roots Of plants will penetrate
readily. A little subsoil turned to the
surface occasionally allows the ele-
ments to act upon it freely, thus liber-
ating food as it mingles with the sur
face soil and vegetable matter. In
this way more valuable plant food and
greater depth Of soil is furnished the
plants which grow upon it.

RED CROSS WORKING
FOR HEALTHIER U, S,
Thousands Aided by instruction
in Care of the Sick, Food Sc
lection and First Aid.

How the American Red Cross guides
thousands Of persons to health is
shown in a summary Of the society's
activities in the health field based
upon the annual report for the last ifs
cal year. Through its Nursing Service
It's Home Hygiene and Care of the
Sick courses, nutrition classes, First
Air classes, Life-Saving classes and
Health Centers and in numerous other
ways designed to acquaint masses of
citizens with proper methods of living
the Red Cross carried its message of
health into all parts of the country.
The work of the Red Cross during
the war in it's traditional field of nurs-
ing, furnishing the military and naval
establishments of the nation with 49,
SIT nurses, is well known. And there
are today 37,7S7 nurses registered with
the American Red Cross and subject
to call in emergency. During the fis-
cal year, 1851 Red Cross nurses were
accepted for assignment to Govern
ment service, 3SS by the Army and
Navy and 1,163 by the United States
Public Health Service.
In addition to the nurses enrolled
by the Red Cross for Government serv.
ice, the Red Cross itself employed a
total of 1,349 public health nurses in
the United States and Europe. By far
the greatest number was employed in
the United States, 1857, while 81 were
in foreign service.
Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick
classes, giving thorough instruction in
the proper care of the sick in instances
where the illness is not so serious as to
require professional nursing care, dur
ing the fiscal year numbered 5,179. A
statistical picture of the Red Cross
operations in this field follows:

it's Nutrition Service is indicated by
the following table:

In addition to the above, a total of
22,0O6 children were given instruction
in the proper selection and prepara-
tiOn of foods.
Through it's 260 Health Centers, the
Red Cross reached 9O,252 persons. In
these Health Centers, 4,O15 health lee
lures were given and 7S0 health ex-
hibits held.
In the United States last year, 75,,
432 persons were killed and 100000
injured in industrial accidents. To
prevent this enormous waste the Red
Cross held 5,10O first aid classes with
a total of 100000 students enrolled.

Kidding FIELDS OF GOPHERS
Poisoning Is by Far Most Effective
Means of discriminating De-
structiVe Rodents.

Trapping and fumigatiOn are two
of the more commonly practiced meth
ods of Kidding fields Of gophers, but
poisoning is by far the more effective,
although great care must be exercised
in order to prevent poisoning of either
the operator o? farm animals which
have access to the field. A very ac-
tive poison must be used, as, for ex-
ample, strycbnine or cyanide of potas-
stun. Pieces of potato, apple or sweet
potato poisoned with strychnine cap
sules answer the purpose very well,
and raisins or prunes treated in this
way have been found to give very
good results.

This is the season of the year when
farmers are sending their hay to the
city markets.
In the face of a marvellous increase
in motnr-propelled vehicles which eat
only gasoline, it is worthy of note that
the production and consumption of hay
in the United States has increased
steadily year by year, reaching its
highest point in history in 1919. This
years yield will be only slightly less,
At the same time, the marketing of
hay has become a more particular un-
dertaking Formerly nearly all hay
was sold within 80 miles of the place
where it was grown. Now large part
of it is shipped by rail and some ex-
ported.
Two Kinds of Markets.
Market hay may lie divided into two
general classes: City market hay and
local, or country. market hay. The line
of distinction between the two classes
is not always distinctly drawn, but it
may he said that the demand in re-
gard to quality and better grades is
more rigid in the city than on the local
market. 1t requires a better quality
of hay to grade as No. l on the city
market than on the local market.
Compared with marketing hay in the
city. diSpOsing of it i'm the country is
a comparatively simple matter. On
the local market the producer usually
comes in direct contact with the con-
Sumer and hay is not sold according to
its official grade but on its merit 1t
is designated as "chOice." "goOd bright
hay," "fair," medium" etc. This in
cludes all kinds of hay, and hence
there is no necessity for the producer
to know the commercial grades.
When hay is shipped to the city
market. however, the grade given by
the shipper is Of the utmost impOr-
tance. The prices of the different
grades of hay depend, in years Of
normal yield on the demand of city
consumers. who may be divided into
three general classes according to the
kind of hay they feed. In the first
class are the drivers of fancy driving
and saddle horses. who feed the high
est quality hay. Such horses must be
kept in the best condition, and as No.
l hay is very palatable and agrees
with the horses, it is used to furnish
the required bulk Of the ration rather
than the quality of nutritive sub
stances it contains. High-grade hay
always finds a ready sale, for the de-
mand usually exceeds the supply.
The second class of consumers avoid

fables of Aesop have long been rated
as classics of literature for reading by

style that makes them as educational
as they are entertaining.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
By David Cory.


Well. as soon as the dolphin heard
that Puss bad golden apple for King
Neptune he swan away to the sea kings
palace, under the deep blue sea, and
told him, and in a few minutes Nep-
tune came riding back in his beauh-
full seashell boat with the four great sea
horses, and said to little Puss Junior:
Have you really got an apple for
me?"
Eyes, have" said Puss, and he
showed Neptune the beautiful golden
apple.
Then jump into my boat" said Nep-
tune, land I will take you back, for my
wife viii give NE no peace until 1 give
her the apple" So Puss got in the boat
and away went the four great sea horses,
and every time Neptune said, Gid ap,
Tempest! Faster, Breaker! On with you,
Billowi Swifter, Boomer!" the four
great sea horses leaped forward, and by
and by, after a while, they reached the
other side of the ocean. where lived the
poor serpent prince to whom Puss wished
to give the other apple.
Here is the magic golden apple,
cried little Puss in a glad voice, and
then the serpent ate the apple, and, all
of a sudden. as soon as he had swallowed
the last piece, he changed into a hand
some price, and all his retainers who
were snakes. you remember, regained
their human form.
And after that Puss said goodby and
went on his way, and after while he
came to little house by the roadside,
and as he was tired and hungry, hs
knocked on the door. But no one
answered his knock, so pretty soon be
turned the knob and entered. But stiu
nobody came. although he called ont 80

This is strange" thought Puss te
himself, and he went into room which
was fitted up like nursery. There were
all sort of toys lying around-dolls and
Wagons blocks and picture books. and,
oh. lots and lots of things. So he ses~
down in an easy-chair and began to read

it began to rain. And, oh, dear me. how
it did rain! 1t came down In torrents,

you shall hear what happened after that.

Wayne Co. Settlers
Will Hold Reunion

RICHMOND, Ind. July 1.-THE sixty
second annual picnic of the old settlers
Of Wayne County will be held at Jack
son park, east Of Centerville, Aug. 20. A
prominent. Indiana speaker will be Sc
cured to deliver an address. A dance
is planned as part Of the program.
The meetings were held formerly at
Centerville, but for the last year or two
the celebrations have been held at Jack
son park on account Of the large crowds
that attend. Every occasion has brought
crowds numbering thousands and the
lowest attendance on record is 500.
The first old settlers meeting was held
in 1859 in a grove north of Centerville.
In early days relics of the olden days
were exhibited, but of late the tendency
has been to feature the address by q
prominent speaker.
Very few old settlers beyond 50 years
of age still remain in the county. There
were 239 deaths of old settlers recorded
between the time of the 1920 meeting and
the one that is to be held next month.
