At PALMYRA, n. Y.
lBy L. j. Robinson. Jr.l


Palmyra is situated in the north
western part of the state of New
York, about 1875. miles east and lit
tie south of Buffalo, on the New
York Central railroad. The country
! consists of rolling hills with patches
of timber growing on whatever por-
tions of the hills we're least desira-
BILE for agricultural purposes, hav-
ing been left there by the early pi-
oneers of thecountry, for use as fuel.
Consequently the landscape view
does not become irksome to one, be-
cause the shapes of the hills are
varied and the location of the trees
and timber is very irregular.
Two and one-half miles south Of
Palmyra is the {" Joseph Smith
farm, consisting of ITO acres of
ground, Ontario county forming the
northern boundary of the farm
Here is where the Smith family liv-
ed for approximately fourteen years
from 1916 to 1929.
The Church of Jesus Christ OF
Latter-day Saints owns this farm.
nd Elder w. w. Bean of Utah was
-alled there on mission about five
years ago to look after the interests
of the church property and do what
missionary work he could in connec-
tion with the operating of the farm.
A splendid highway runs north
and south through the farm, leav-
ing about thirty acres ON the east
and one hundred and forty acres on
the west of this highway.
Large tres on either side of the
road form a complete arch by their
tops and branches overlapping each
other; and to the right sixty feet
there is a large red barn with this
Joseph Smith Farm
This ban is of recent construction,
and two rods west of this barn is
the old barn which the Smith fami-
ly used, which is in a fairly good
state of preservation; while to the
west of this barn is small stream
where many of the converts were
baptized, after the stream had been
damned and a hole had been exca-
vated large enough to admit of bab-
Lism by immersion.
Proceeding for a quarter of
mile through a narrow lane, we as
,end a gradual slppe turning to the |
light we enter the Sacred Grove A |
Few rods to the north and west is /
depression in the ground from (
which place one is unobserved; and 4
rom this spot, nearthe foot of gi- I
INT oak tree. which still stands, the !
,oy, Joseph Smith, offered that
prayer in the early /
'pring of 1920, the result of which
las eliminated in the organization

-atter-day Saints with a present Il
population of over one-half million
leople.

badly bruised.

Fourth Quarter

American Falls opened up with
someuncertain spread and forward
pass plays. Clark caught a long
pass and gained about 20 yards.
Bedke Hardy and Clark made sey-
eral end runs, all gaming fair yards.
In the last two minutes of play,
Hardy made a wide run to three
yard line. At this point, American
Falls made a vicious tackle, caus-
ing Hardy to drop the ball Amer
ican Falls recovered and punted out
of danger.
American Falls had large,
rough team. They specialized on
neck-tie tackles and piling on a tac-
kled man.
This ends the games of this sea-
son. The boys certainly have done
credit to themselves and to the
school. All the men of the squad
win be back next year Football

drawn upon warrants charged to the
bureau of information. The claim
that labor was playing the Stacker
act was refuted by the statement Of
a Wall Street journal saying the
United States contained per cent Of
the worlds population, and per cent
of the land, produced 25 per cent of
the wheat, SO per cent OF the coal, 6O
per cent Of the cattle and &c per cent
of the oil produced in the world, and
that in the past four years we had
accumulated a gold reserve of ten
billion dollars in addition to liquidat
ing five billion dollars indebtedness.
Mr.. Bill closed his address by reading
and explaining the one-sided agree
ment which must be signed by appli-
cants for jobs in the open shops OF
Toledo, which was adopted, with a
few minor changes, by the scab bosses
of Mansfield where after a brief
existence it's rottenness caused it's
own defeat, and it's dupes repudiated
it and left town.
The meeting closed with "The Star
Spangled Banner" by the band
Notwithstanding the short time
available for preparation, the meeting
was grand success, both in point of
numbers in attendance, the excellence
of the addresses and enthusiasm dis
played by the audience, and mucn
credit is due the committee of ar
rangements for their hard work in the
cause of labor.

BIG TURNOUT

endorse the open shop, and enforce
it's pernicious rules, which would in
fact be really a closed shop, as its
doors would be barred to all union
men carrying a working card. Thirty
years ago a skilled mechanic received
about $1.35 a day, and very often
when Saturday night arrived he was
told by the boss that as he had re-
ceived no money on his contract the
workers would have to wait-and
wait. they did, sometimes for several
weeks. Organization and union rules
had overcome all this, and produced
the working conditions at present
existing. A chamber of commerce is
an organization to be formed to pro-
tect and promote the best interests
of the community, and the Newark
Chamber of Commerce should wake
up and say, we are willing that good
living wages should be paid, and are
ready to meet and confer with labor
representatives in order that the gen
eral welfare of the city may be ad-
vanced. The demands of the building
trades in Newark are not unreason-
able when compared with those of
other cities, and if contractors still
demand an unreasonable reduction
the thing to do is pack up your kit
and move to town where a decent
living wage is paid for a fair days
labor. Organized labor is on the up
ward move and is constantly growing,
and the membership of the American
Federation of Labor will increase 40
per cent during the next eighteen
months.

Mr.. Bills opening sentence, when he
referred to the Chamber of Commerce
as "the self-constituted guardian of
public interests which was promoting
the so-called un-American American
Plan of the open shop" was greeted
with laughter and applause. The
speaker talked at length on labor con-
ditions in general, on the advantages
and benefits derived from organiza-
ton and union affiliation, and the
dire results which will surely follow
if present conditions are destroyed.
He cited many instances to prove his
assertions, and read some startling
and interesting statistics of past his
tory, briefly covering facts in 240
cities and al states. He declared the
men who are now bowling about the
tyranny of labor unions are the same
individuals who begged labor's assist
ance to fight against the tyranny OF
Europe, promising that when Dem
ocracy triumphed a new day would
dawn for the worker, when capital
and labor would sit around common
table and amicably adjust their af-
fairs. Now that the war is over, the
war won by labor, all these promises
are forgotten and fight is on to re-
duce the worker to a condition of serf-
dom and starvation wages. Labor
stands for the advancement of the in
terests and welfare of the common
people, and through its efforts the in
famous Cossack Law was defeated on
two different occasions in Ohio.
If this measure had been put
through armed thugs would be in con-
troll of our highways and conditions
exist similar to those which now curse
some of our neighboring states. But
while labor won the constabulary
fight it was unable to prevent the de-

THE UNION LABEL GIRL
By Thomas H. West


am a Union Label Girl
I'm proud to say to you.
To boost the Union Label
Is a thing | always do.
My daddy is a Union man
And that is how | know
It's right to call for Label goods,
For daddy told me so.
He says if every Union man
And Union woman, too,
Would purchase Union Label good
And to their pledge be true,
We'd have no sweatshops anywhere
And little kids, you see,
Would never be compelled to toll
In mill and factory.
When | go to make purchase
| just keep these things in mind
And ask for Union Label goods
And take no other kind.
If every little girl would
Only do the same as
You wouldn't find non-union goods,
There'd be no use to try.

Adapted from the novel of
Stewart Edward White
Every farmer knows what a killer
is. A sheepdog, natural guardian of
the sheep, who has become their worst
enemy; sly, tricky, murderous, cruel,
implicable, killing for the love of it,
and incUrable.
Imagine man like that, rich,
powerful and intelligent.
Imagine a picture based on that
theme and written by one of our
greatest out-of-door writer's, with its
scenes laid in the Southwest.
Thrilling? Powerful?
Yes and then some!

SH-H-H!.THE CHIEF
FELL AMONG THIEVES

Chief of Police Dave Matlock start
ed to Los Angeles the other day. Be-
fore leaving he packed his suitcase
with a few things he thought it might
be nice to have along with him. Being
a police officer he took with him
things men Of. ordinary occupations
would not think of needing. When
the suitcase was packed it contained
his old friend, six-shooter of Is years
companionship, one slightly used neck
tie. a nice well-broken-in pair Of leg
irons and one extra silk shirt, pair
of beautiful handcuffs and an extra
collar button.
In fact the chief was all packed up
and ready for pleasant visit to the
city. He loaded his travelling bag
with these toilet accessories into his
car and was off. At Brawley he left
the car for few minutes and when
he returned his bag was gone with all
his travelling possessions.

DR.. J. A. Woodside ,one of the lead
ing authorities in the United States on

ton to learn his methods.
E. H. Biles of the state department
of agriculture, and L. H. Moulton, of
the California Dairy council, will

Convicted Wobblies Spread
ing Revolutionary Propa-
ganda Calling for Upris-
ing of workers" at Var
ious Points Sunday.

CHICAGO, April 29.-The real lead
ers of the group of Industrial Workers
of the World, convicted for an anti
government war time conspiracy have
jumped their bonds and are now be-
lieved to be in hiding and furthering
revolutionary ideas and propaganda,
Federal officers announced here after
a final check Of the At men who were
to report at Leavenworth penitentiary
to begin serving the sentenced imposed
upon them by Judge X. M. Lands,
following the refusal OF the Supreme
court to review their cases.
Less than a score of the original con
victs had reported at the prison. Some
of these entered the prison shortly
after their conviction and began sery-
ing time so that it might count on their
sentences, if they failed to get court
relief, and they counted the time spent
there not material, even if they were
released
The leaders in the conspiracy, chief
of whom is Big Bill" Haywood, now
believed to be in Russia, have disap-
peared and from all information in the
hands of the Federal officers in Chi
cago, and the department of justice
operatives throughout the country,
these men are fomenting trouble for
the government, which is planned to
start with revolutionary outbreak on
May at leading industrial centers
throughout the country.
E st. Paul, Minneapolis, Kansas City,
Spokane, Wash, Gary, Ind, and Brad
dock, Pa. have been circularized by
the Reds of the Inner Circle or Direct
Action section, to rise and form q
workers government" and this pro-
paganda has been distributed over a
wide area in far removed territory
from these centers.
The secret service and department
of justice agents have been busy in
every big city in the country in an
effort to run down the men respons-
ible for the issuance of these circulars
and orders have been issued at Wash
ington to take every precaution on
May l to prevent outbreaks of any
kind.
In issuing permit for the Inter
national labor parade, of the Socialist
party to be held on Sunday in this
city, Chief of Police Fitzmorris. made
it plain to the committee making the
application that there could be no
display of red flags, incendiary BAN
ners, or placards, and that there would
be no distribution of ''red" literature,
that any effort of THIS kind would re-
suit in somebody getting hurt"
