ASK SPECIAL RATE ON
SWEET POTATOES

The Sussex County Pomona Grange
has appealed to the railroad authori-
ties in Wilmington to make a special
rate en- sweet potatoes in order that
the crop may be moved from lower
Delaware and save the growers thou
sands of dollars. Unless some step is
taken to relieve congested conditions
and move the heavy crop before freez-
ing weather, thousands of baskets are
going to waste.
Milford chronicle., 1922-11-10

At a recent meeting of the grange
the following resolution was adopted:
"In view of the fact that Sussex coun-
ty has produced the largest crop of
sweet potatoes in the history Of the
industry and that many of these pota-
toes will go to waste if something
isn't done to move them within the
next two weeks;
''Be it resolved, that the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad Company be asked to
consider making a special rate on
sweet potatoes in order to relieve the
congested condition"

Start a Label Cam
paign

1t must be confessed that very many
of us fail to give the Union Label
propaganda the support we should.
Not only do we oftentimes fail to
carry evidence of our interest in it
about with us on our persons, upon
our clothes, hats, shoes and other
articles of raiment but we even fail
to carry any recollection of it for any
length of time in our minds. 1t is
only at stated intervals when the inl-
portance of the Label as weapon in
our hands is driven home by some
speaker at a union meeting thaV we
give the subject serious thought. And
even then our interest is more or less
perfunctory. We keep demanding
the Label for a brief spell until our
enthusiasm wanes and we lapse again
into Indifference.
The Union Label has justice and
humanity on its side. 1t is badge
of civilized working conditions, a
symbol of hope which shows that we
are gradually dispelling the clouds
which for an age had shrouded the
workers in the darkness Of despair.
Sweatshop employers hate it with an
updying hatred as do all who wax
prosperous on underpaid labo1--but
their enmity is unavailing 20 stop it's
onwa> course.
Up to the present we have not fully
realized what a far-reaching and ef-
fective Union Label campaign, prop
eriy directed, could accomplish. 1t is
Il" exaggeration to say that a consis-
tent effort on the part of t'ade union
lists in the country today could easily
triple the output of union made goods
within a remarkably short time. If
tie majority of unionists would re-
gard themselves in the light of un-
Official "drummers" for union made
proGucts we would soon b. in fair
way to realize that desirable end. In
on efforts we could also enlist the
aid of reform and uplift organiZa-
tions, consumers leagues in the
vpllous cities and all who g asp the
humane and social significance of the
labor movement in the life of our
time.

Infamy of Child Labor in
Factories

1t is unspeakably Infamous that
men should get rich from the labor
of children whose bones are ground
into almighty dollars.
1t is an old and cruel story. 1t is
difficult to frame laws successfully
to overcome human ignorance and
greed.
Child labor under harsh and un-
wholesome conditions is wrong not
alone against the children whose lives
are thus blighted, but against society.
The child naturally looks to the parent
for support, and when he is forced
into labor and his earnings are taken
from him for family use the i'm
pressionable child mind becomes
nodded to the idea that labor is un-
requitted and is a cruel injustice
forced by wealthy employers.
There the quick seed of Bolshevism
is implanted.
What the child forced into labor
earns is taken from him, but by and
by he may discover that what he can
steal or take by force and keep to
himself is his to enjoy. There can be
no true conception of the right of
property engendered in the child that
is forced to unrequitted toll.
Many a criminal in the prisons,
many an incurable invalid in the hos
pitfalls, many an extremist agitator
owes his pitiable state to enforced
work under unwholesome conditions
in childhood that sapped his life or
impressed upon him a lifelong de-
testation of all toll.
Child labor in the factories is a
wrong against all labor and against
all right industrial relations.
In means decrease in the total wage
1t means less product and less per-
fection of it.
1t is degradation of industrial
conditions, viewed from any stand
point. Not only does the quality of
products necessarily deteriorate, but
manhood and ideals are necessarily
sacrificed by this unnatural and in
famous wrong.
Statutes that will hold may be good
when we get them, but enlivenment
of public opinion is far better and we
may get this now.
1t is wrong that every man who
cares for the welfare of his children
and every man who cares for the well
fare of labor and capital, of civiliza-
tion and humanity should set his heart
and hand against.-Charles Grant
Miller.

State Road Soon
To Be Completed

Edmore, N. D., Aug. 23.-Residents
of this section are beginning to see
relaxation of their hopes of complet-
ing that segment of the Northern
Trail that serves this and neighbor-
ing cities. The part of highway in
which local civic bodies are particular
ly interested is that which runs be-
tween Grafton, Walsh county, and
Cando., Towner county, striking
Adams, Park River, Edmore and
Starkweather.
The work, which is being done with
federal, state and county funds, began
in 1921 with the surveying of 1s miles
of the highway from Starkweathe,
west, last summer. Construction OF
that piece is under way this season
and surveying of the balance is be.
ing done by state engineers. A LONG
piece Of the road in Walsh county is
already completed. Completion of the
chain by grading the intervening strips
is expected to swing a large tourist
traffic to the road.

THE GOOD TURN
Scouting Is claiming FOR servic

Scouting Is claiming For service.
The motto # the Scout is s'Be pre-
pared" Every iota Of training given
is to propsce the Scouts 20 live up
tc that motto and to lie prepared in
4a:t to meet :Iy emergency that may
a1ise at any tine or place. Te be so
prepared and to act thar IS the key
rtte of seryi:e.
But more fundamental to the train
ing received is the spirit of the Scout
slogan. "Do a good turn daily"
Every Scout, who obeys the Scout
law, voluntarily does a good turn to
somebody every day. This habit of
helpfulness is strongly emphasized un-
til it becomes second nature to the
Scout to be ever alert to see where he
can be Of service.
These good turns are not confined to
aid for individuals. The well-trained
Scout sees where he can do some act
that will benefit the larger number
This sort of service is that which is
seldom advertised or brought to pub,
lie attention, but which, if it were MOI
performed, would make a huge diff
ference and be quite noticeable.
In addition to these silent goot
turns we have the we'll known com
munity good turns where a who'll,
troop or number Of troops turn ou
in community and render some sig
nal service. Frequently we hear o
the Scouts taking charge of an in

FOLLOWING THE BOY SCOUT TRAIL

on special community cleanup day;
distributing baskets to the poor for
charity organizations; putting on fire
prevention campaigns; staging drives
against mosquito pests, maintain
ing bird-feeding stations; and hund-
reds of others in which thousands of
troops in the United States have par
ticipated.
But these are organized campaigns
of good turns, put over with mass
enthusiasm, you say. True, but that
is only one angle. Look at the other
angle in the following two stories.
A tenderfoot Scout in LAGRANGE,
(1llinois) Troop No. 6, while walking
down the street one day went out in
to the middle Of the street and picked
up broken bottle from the pavement,
carried it to the nearest gutter open
ing and dropped it therein. Only
one person saw that lad do that, all
though the boy did not know he was
being watched. But think of the
number of motorists to whom that
act was good turn.
A small lad, second class Scout ir
Troop No. 43 in Chicago, while in the
busy loop one morning, went out Of
his way and guided two wee foreign
girls, who were more or less scared
across the street through the whir
of traffic. They boy did this uncin
scious of any about Kim, a good turr
in the midst of the crowd, noted by
a few perhaps, who went on thei
way with warmer feeling about tn,
heart because of real Scout act.
Such things as these reveal tn
essence of Scouting and emphasize
the program Of service.

Special Correspondence from the Nuggets Siberian Correspondent.
 EAST CAPE, Siberia June 5, 1922
 The winter of 1921-22 will long be remembered by folks on these shores as -an all around bad one. The sea froze up on Oct. 1st and then came a south wind which last ed for days with rain and very warm weather; all creeks which were frozen up commenced to run again and the whole country had the appearance of summer returned, this lasted way into December with the sea absolutely free of ice and it was not till the 18th of December that we had any signs of winter. On the whole the winter was mild with much snow, the coldest day March 9th. farhenheft -36. For some reason the usual rdn of seal missed this coast, naturally no oil for lamps and much misery amongst the inhabitants. Even in the spring hunting there are very few seal and those so poor that they sink on being shCt.
The Nome nugget., 1922-07-15

Whooping cough brought here from the South claimed many vic- tims, all children at the Esquimo vil- lage of East Cape, 32 died. At Whalen 10; as near as I can judge 75 children coughed their lives away with not a single thing to help them and in many instances. not any lamps in the houses (there being no seal oil) and the poor little kids had to eat frozen raw meat and drink cold water. Traders here did all they could for the people and saved many lives-Government did nothing. So you can see that this country has been put back a good many years, what with goodly DOT tion of he rising generation wiped out. dee' nefds ext" 1t will 'a:.e many good seasons to recuperate.
 May God in his goodness come to the rescue of these poor children. as
The Nome nugget., 1922-07-15

The run of fox was not up to the usual thing and only way up in the North was it normal. Bears were also scarce. in fact from traders view it was poor year. only that during the warm spell in Oct. and November the natives made a good catch of walrus, which came onto the beach at different parts of the coast to sleep and were quickly dispatched by our friends the "Chuckchee'' with harpoons.
 There would have been far1ine over here, as it was some places came through the winter. only after eating their dogs and the skins off their boats. In the interior it was no better, the rain having coated the ground with ice, deer were un- able to procure enough moss and most herds were completely wiped cut. in fact all along the coast south Of East Cape, and this includes the Anadyr district, thousands of deer died. some small herders are com. pletely wiped outs and are now fore. ed to live fin the villages and hunt seal and walrus like the other na- tives.
 Now again to make things worse during the fawning season, there cam a real old Shorter" of bliz- gard from the North and that was the end of the lawns. Some Rus sians here have made the remark that it truly was "Bolsheviki win ter" but apart from that it certain ly was hard struggle for these poor people all around.
