Husking Corn in Vermont

To husS IN proper way and shape
You need an old blue army.cape.
And chair with sawed off legs:
A barnfloor. stuffed with stocks OF
corn,
Two baskets, one October morn.
And several husking.pegs.
You haul took from way up high.
SO big it makes your system sigh.
And drag ii towards your chair
You grab n stalk and start to grope.
And look and listen. hunt and hope
For any ear that's there.
You feel one up beneath the band
And jerk it out with 'tother hand.
When. Pop, the band expodes:
You kneel right down the break to tie
When something hits you in the eye
To-wit' the king of toads.
My Stars" YOU say. the sassy thing"
But toads wa never known to sting.
You guess no harm is done;
Nd yet. YOU note with sundry fears,
The next confounded thirteen ears
Are soft corn every one.
Then soon. noise up beams way
You hear aud see the cats at play
Upon the looselaid boards:
But fore you've I me to holer. Seat
Down shcts the hay knife past your
hat
As sharp as forty swords.
Your nerves at last, reflect the
strain.
The sky turns black, 1t looks like rain,
You b'lieve you'd better go.
So towards the house YOU limp and
take
The rocking chair and say you ache,
Which isn't zactly so.
l'ut ma, she think its nothing more
Than that oil path you'v, had before

And 70 ten minutes you're in bed
With flannels round your frightened

And mustard on your chest.

THESE ARE THE ISSUES IN
EXISTING INDUSTRIAL WAR

The railroad shop craftsmen struck as protest
against ruling of the labor board cutting their pay
approximately 20 per cent.
Peace negotiations have failed because the railroads
refuse while agreeing all else to re-estabsh the
seniority rights of strikers
The are now charging the railroads with using
this weapon to punish the for quitting their jobs
Railroad officials insist that the labor board having
outlawed" the strikers the latter have forfeited their
rights
More than 100000 coal-mne workers struck when
both the soft and hard coal operators refused to ne
eotiate new national wage agreement.
First the miners and then the operators declined to
enter an interstate conference for the purpose of max
ing a new contract.
Arbitration proposed by the Government was re-
iected outright by the miners but accepted condition
ally by anthracite operators and majority Of the soft
coal producers.
Mine workers demand central competitive field wage
agreement as basis for national scale, but refuse
in any event to return to work at reduced wage.
The miners are willing to 60 back to their jobs at
the old rate of pay pending report from factfindng
commission. .1&
Passing over arbitration, the operators insist upon
local district wage agreements
The Government now calls upon the operators to
reopen the mines promising military protection to
strike breakers.
This move the mine workers say is effort to
smash the union by of military dictatorship"

PROVES SAVAGE
AS ANCESTORS
TeIItaIe Trace Of Indian Blood
in Veins Of Alleged
Slayer.
BY HAZEL MCDONALD, .
Cosmopolitan News Service.

Los ANGELES, July 21.-What Is
the heritage of Clara Phillips?
What is the source of the savagery
to which Peggy Caffee. her chum,
says she resorted in putting a rival
for her husbands love out of the
way?
In the light of recent revelations
as to the ancestry of Mrs. Phillips,
adherents to the theory that her con.
duct was a reversion to the stone age
would seem to be several hundreds
of centuries afield.
A telltale trace-scarcely more than
a trickle-of the copper-red blood of
the North American Indian in the
veins of Mrs. Phillips offers a much
more plausible explanation of her act.
That this explanation may be made
means that Clara Phillips ancestors
are likely to be equally as interesting
an exhibit in her approaching trial as
the splintered, blood-spattered handle
Of the hammer which served her as a
tomahawk.

Los ANGELES, July 2l.-1 did
il because l loved her.
Thus did A. l.. Phillips justify
himself in his own eyes today when
he was told there was considerable
criticism of him as an unchivalrous
man in notifying the authorities
where his wife could be arrested
for the brutal killing OF Alberta
Meadows.
1T has never occurred to me, ,"
said Phillips, that any one would
misunderstood the reason l asked
Sheriff Traeger to arrest Clara. II
was so clear to me, after | had
reasoned II out, that l suppose l
thought II would be obvious to peO-
pie in general.
They don't understand" he con-
tinued "Do they realize what II
means when the person you love
best in the world Is in terrible
trouble and you have TO decide
what is best for her to do? In
order to make this matter clear I
will have TO go over all that felt
and thought-and did-after Clara
left me at the station Thursday
morning. Then, I'm sure they'd
understand.
Mind Nearly Unbalanced.
ct had been at sea ever since
she told me her story. l admit ]
didn't know what to do. Clara has
implicit confidence in my tudg.
ment always, and knew she
would follow my direction blindly,
but couldn't make up my mind
what was the proper course to
pursue. l wanted time. l had to
find out what actually happened.
When she came home she was the
craZiest woman I've ever seen.
What was to believe? l had to
gain time to think. My own mind
was nearly unbalanced.
And while was gaining that
time felt it would be best for her
to go away. So I bought her a
ticket to Ell Paso, knowing exactly
where she was going and where
could reach her at any time.
Three Friends Appeared.
81 left her at the station and
then drove out along the line a lit
tie way to watch the train go by
I had told her when we parted that
| was always with her, no matter
| what the outcome and that she
must rely on me and never doubt
me.
"I consulted three friends and
each one advised me TO have heI
brought back.
II had been told many times
that Sheriff Traeger was a square
man, so I went to him and asked
him to bring her back.
II don't understand what people
mean by saying I was unchival
rous. Any husband who loved his
wife would have done as 1 did
wouldn't he?"
