FARMOGRAMS
By "The Drifter"

The drought failed to dampen the
ardor Of all our farmers, as is indi-
Gated by the number who are pre-
pairing Tor the spring by getting an
early start with their sod land.
Quite a number are breaking land
now. Some farmers claim that it is
bad policy to break land before the
middle of January, but the proven
ton Of weeds and insects are more to
be desired than the effect of the
weather conditions on the soil. It IS
not an easy matter to get rid of in
sects at the best so why not utilize
the forces given by nature to fight
the pest who destroy your crops and
decrease the earnings of your soil!
Mr.. Frank hewitt, of Accotinll.
holds that cold weather will not ma
terially lower egg production if the
flock is properly housed, fed, and
cared for. Mr.. hewitt has made quite
a success of the poultry business as
side issue. He claims that his sue
cess is due to steady conditions gov
crning the locality in which he lives
as it affects the fowls. On potato
growing this year, Mr.. hewitt has
very little to say. He feels that
next year may give him an oppor-
tunity to raise some in the quality
class.
Mrs. Georganna Hall, near Pohick
Church, had three fine porkers killed
this week. They are we'll up in the
three hundred pound class.
Mr.. Daniel Reid, of Hoadley. is
bringing in chicken and eggs by the
truck load from Prince William. It
seems that our neighbor counties are
fighting to keep in the production
swing; and the efforts being put
forth are very commendable.
The present tendency of so many
young men to go to the city and the
different classes of public work is
rendering it we'll nigh impossible for
the farmer who must depend on the
hired man, to stay in the farming
game. There are two sides to every
question. Why let the boy leave the
farm? Why not make the farm life
more conducive than you have in the
past? Until the farm boy is given
the same opportunity at home to
make something that he can call his
own, he is going to look with longing
eyes toward the city. When the farm
boy leaves, it is natural conclusion
that the would-be tenant farmer is
discouraged.
The tenant farmer must have an
opportunity to educate his children,
to have a clear profit at the end of
the year, to feel that he is an essen.
tial cog in the wheel of agricultural
production. Until the landowners
realize this, tenant farming will re-
main below par. Many of our far
mers have realized this. but there

De Valera Urged
To Aid Peace Move
Lloyd George Seeks Confer
ence Between Leaders of
North and South Ireland.

London, June 25.-(By Asso-
ciated Press.) - Premier Lloyd
George has sent letter to both
Eamonn de Valera, the Irish republi-
can leader, and Sir James Craig, the
Ulster premier, declaring the British
government to be deeply anxious
that King Georges appeal for recon
citation in Ireland shall not have
been made in vain. The latter ap-
peals for conference between rep
resentatives of the government and
southeran and northern Ireland.
The letter, which is dated June "a
is couched in identical terms to both
Mr.. De Valera and Sir James, ex-
cept for necessary verbal changes.
"The British government" it says.
"is deeply anxious that as far as they
can assure it, the kings appeal for
reconciliation shall not have been
made in vain. Rather than allow
another opportunity for settlement
in Ireland to be cast aside, they feel
it incumbent on them to make final
appeal in the spirit of the kings
words for conference between
themselves and representatives OF
southern and northern Ireland.
Il write, therefore, to convey the
following invitation to you as the
chosen leader of the great major
ity in southern ireland, and to Sir
James Craig, premier of northern
Ireland.
First, that you should attend a
conference here, in company with
Sir James Craig, to explore set
tlement; second, that you should
bring with you any colleagues whom
you may select. The government
will, OF course, give safe conduct
to all who may be chosen.
I'VE make this invitation with the
fervent desire to end the ruinous
conflict which has divided Ireland
and embittered the relations of the
peoples of these two islands, who
ought to live in neighborly harmony
and whose cooperation would mean
so much, not only to the empire,
but humanity. We wish that no
endeavor should be lacking on our
part to realize the kings prayer, and
we ask you to meet US, as we will
meet you, in the spirit of concilia-
tion for which his majesty aopealed.'

Is
Reelected
A.F.L.Head
Veteran Chieftain of Ameri-
can Federation of Labor
Weathers Attempt to
Dislodge Him.
Lewis Is Only Opponent

Denver, June 26. - President
Samuel Gompers, Americas veteran
labor eader--overwhelmingly de-
feating his first serious opposition
since l894-today was returned to
Office with his entire administration
for another year by the American
Federation of Labor.
This sweeping victory, the labor
chief said tonight at the close of the
federation's 4lst annual convention,
demonstrated that the American
trade union movement will not sub
init to dictation from the forces of
corruption or greed-neither the
Hearsts nor the Gary's can chart
our course or select our leaders,
Movement Is United.
"Our movement is united. 1t is
prepared to be aggressive in defense
OF the rights of the toilers. 1t will
not be swerved from its course. 1t
will be sad day for the aspirations
of the working people of Our land
when corrupt and intriguing inter-
csts can either divide our movement
change our course or destroy its
leadership. The vote today has
demonstrated to the world that we
have not yet come upon that day.
THE whole work of the conven-
ton, the resolutions and declara-
tions adopted, the policies indicated,
mean for the future a united pro-
gressive, militant movement follow
ing upon a progressive, fruitful and
militant past.
"For myself I may say that the
work of the convention and the re-
suit of the election fill me with
satisfaction, gratitude and pride, not
for myself, but for our movement.
l am proud OF our movement and my
life shall be given to it in the future
as it has been for these many years.
We are in serious times, but we face
them undaunted and with confidence
and courage"
Make Clean Sweep.
The labor chiefs forces made
clean sweep from the beginning
when President Gompers was re-
turned TO the presidency for the 40th
time by overwhelming John L. Lew
is, president OF the United Mine
Workers, by vote of 25,022 to H.
324.
The vote was taken amid scenes
of wild enthusiasm, 7fiyaiing those Of
national political conventions. The
galleries were. packed with specta-
tors. The convention floor was over
flowing with delegates and their
friends. Cheers and applause swept
the auditorium at every vote.
Several attempts by the Gompers
supporters to stampede the dele
gates for the veteran labor leader
during the demonstrations failed, as
scores of delegates withheld their en-
thusiasm and remained silently in

Votes Pour in as
Help Yourself Club
Campaign Closes
Careful Count Being Made to
Determine Winners of Bun
galow, Autos and Other
Awards.

The Bees $2o,45o Help Yourself
club campaign closed last night,
Many of its members put on final
burst of speed as the closing time
approached, and votes literally
rolled in.
Now all that remains is to deter
mire who won the big awards, the
bungalow, the numerous automobiles
and the building and loan association
deposits, which, by the way, will he
quite some task.
Adding machines will be busy
figuring the total votes of each MEM
ber, totals which run into seven
figures in most cases, and although
everyone, including the club manager,
is anxious to know who the winners
are. it probably will Le several days
before results are officially an
nounced.
Club Manager Busy.
The club manager and his assist
ants were busy all day yesterday
iHlCl viewing lIiCIllUCIS, UCli iiOlI Out

will be necessary in some cases to
check the members votes. bet it is
hoped the winners can be announced
late this week.
Reinittances which were placed in
the mails before 10 o'clock will be
accepted in the same manner as in
the past. Letters will be sent tc the
members showing the amount of
votes issued on each remittance in
order that the club members may be
enabled to check up themselves.
To Check Count.
After all remittances have been
entered on the books and the final
count made a letter will be sent to
eacI, member specifying the total
number of votes credited to him or
her in the club Office. The con-
testants will be given a short time to
verify these amounts before the an
nounccment of winners.
1t was a spirited race. Members
who had set their hearts on the
bungalow felt they were gaining one
more shingle every time they sent
in a remittance, and it was that spirit
which made it a regular" race, and
ran votes up into the millions.

Yield On
Amendment
Wayne Wheeler Satisfied With
Anti.Prescription Beer
Bill As Emergency
Measure.
will Resume Fight Later

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire
Washington, June 2S.-The fight
among the prohibition leaders owe,
the supplementary enforcement,
legislation ended today when Wayne
B. Wheeler, counsel for the Anti
Saloon league, yielded to the ad-
vocates of a straight anti-prescription
beer bill without any of the other
tightening up enforcement amend
ments proposed by Representative
Volstead. Mr.. Wheeler said, how
ever, that the fight to screw the en-
forcement lid down tighter would be
resumed later .......
"The substitute enforcement bills
introduced by Senator Willis in the
senate and Mr.. Campbell in the
house will have the support of the
Anti-Saloon league" said Wheeler.
This does not mean that we will
relinquish our efforts for the other
necessary sections of the Volstead
bill. Some of them are just as es-
sential as the beer clause as emer-
gency propositions.
"A large number of applicants for
wholesale druggists permits and
questionable medicine permits are
pushing their claims, and the de-
partment is Handicapped in handling
the situation because of the uncer-
tainty of the law, which the pending
legislation would correct"
