The harbers' union No. lis used

lious members Tuesday afternoon BY.
suspsnding them from the union for
all time. ~
Three Representatives Of the re-
bellious element we're present At the
mass meeting, Bert Yoh, secretary
OF the union, said that the represen-
tatives Of the II men who remained
In shops after union wall cards had
been removed had refused in the
meeting to come back into the fold
by refusing to work in shops having
no union cards. The secretary de-
clared that the union had cancelled
the memberships OF the. recalci-
trants and'added . proviso that they
be barred for all time from entering
again into the union fold.
However. one man came back into
the union, and two others who had
walked ont Of shops where union
cards had been removed went back
to work. Tuesday morning there
were IL men in rebellion and with
one returning to the union fold and
two going back into shops, now
considered As open shops, IL men
are today in the ranks Of the rebel
lious.

The rebellion IL in sway in flve Of
the seven shops from which cards
were removed, while four union bar
beers who were employed in the
other two shops were out. These
men arc being paid benefits Of 81

Twenty master BARRIERS Who
signed the new wage agreement say
that there will be only two price
raises, and these will effect few of
their patrons. The price Of nous
tache trim has been raised from S to
10 cents, and the price for q col
lege" haircut has been raised from
SO to Is cents.
However, the BARRIERS say they
have few customers who have their
hair cut in accordance with the "col-
lege style. This type of haircut is
when the hair is left resembling a
cap on the head and from the edge
OF the cap" the hair is shaved down,
leaving the lower part Of the Gran
ium free Of hirsute growth and re
sembling the W. k. peeled onion. The
BARRIERS say that only one in several
hundred customers has his hair cut
in this fashion, which is said to
present tedious Job and the extra
use Of the razor, causing consider
able difficulty IN keeping the blades
in shape.

USE GREEN MANURlAL CROPS
Gradually Taking Place of Stable Manures to Keep Up Supply of
 Organic Matter.

Prof. k. l.. Watts. writing in the Market Growers Journal, sums up the fertility problem of the market grow er in the following:
 While we have pinned our faith to the use of stable manure in producing good crops, green manurial crops are gradually taking the place of stable manures. It is fortunate that we are able to maintain In this manner the supply of soil organic matter. Let us remember some essentials in the sue cessful use of green manureS They might be given as follows:
 "1. Soil adaptation, We should, be careful to select the right crop for the soil under cultivation, which also fits properly into the system of cropping.
 -. Use bountiful supply of seed.
 '3. Use sufficient commercial fer tillzer to-insure heavy growth.
 4. Sow in ample time, especially in the fall of the year, so that the crop will get good start before winter.
 '5. Take advantage of every oppor- tunity To grow Il manurial crop"

 The premier does not speak Eng fish. There has been much specula- tion recently in conference and news paper circles as to how he might pro- ceed.
 Members of the French delegation explained that the premier, at stated intervals of three or five minutes, for example, would stop to permit the of fEial interpreter to tell the confer ence exactly what had been said.

The con- mittee will meet next Monday, when China will probably approach the Shantung issue.
 Americas attitude is awaited by the Chinese. It is known that Secretary Hughes examined the proposals be- fore they were presented in commit tee, and it is expected that at the right moment he will come forward with a clear statement as to how far America will back China up. Elihu Root said soon after the session that while cer- tain parts of the proposals dealt with the well known policies, there were other points that were new and still others needing exposition. Dr. We'll ington Koo explained to him just how the principles should be applied.
 Japans formal statement, made after instructions from Tokyo's note, is pregnant not only in what it con ceded, but what is left unsaid Stress is laid at the opening upon the exist ing difficulties in China.

When Given in Balanced Rations They Have Little Effect on Economical
 Gains

Minerals fed in balanced rations to hogs had little if any effect on rapidty or economy of gains, report Ohio and Illinois stations. They find that min erals strengthen the bones of the ani- mals. When pigs are not receiving balanced ration, but are being fed without pasture, milk or tankage, min erals are valuable aid. They may pay when fed to breeding animals.

 Florence stood close to the pink shaded electric droplight over her small white dressing table, reading again and again these pathetically honest little condolences. Her eyelids were withdrawn to an unprecedented retirement, so remarkably she stared, while her mouth seemed to prepare itself for the attempted reception of bulk beyond It's total capacity. And these plastic tokens, so immoderate as 10 be ordinarily the consequence of nothing short of poignant horror, were overlaid by others, subtler and more gleaming, which wrought the true significance of the contortion-a Joy that was dumfounding.
 Her thoughts were first of Fortune 's kindness in selecting her for favor so miraculously dovetailing into the precise need of her life, then of Henry and Herbert, each at this hour prob ably brushing his hair in preparation for the Sunday evening meal, and both touchlngly unconscious of the ealami. ty now befalling them but what even tually engrossed her mind was the thought of Waffle Torbin.
