Plant Trees For Shade

Farmers who live in houses out In
the bleak wind or burning sun might
make arrangements now to protect
their houses from refreshing shade
and from jarring winds. There's are
very, very few places where trees of
some kinds cannot De grown around
the home to give it protection and
add beauty and charm to the farm
stead.
Hard, dry yards should be dug or
plowed up as soon as there is suai-
cient moisture. A good way is to dig
out holes where the trees are to
stand Four or five feet in diamet,.r
will not be too wide and three feet
none too deep for holes. This may ne
filled with manure or little partially
full and the soil thrown back. Let
this stand for month or more, then
dig up and mix thoroughly to pulver-
iae and make fine, mellow abode for
the trees roots. When the trees are
to be set, if the ground is very dry,
water should be used. In, fact. moist
ure should be applied occasionally u
help decay the vegetation and to make
a suitable place to set the trees.

British landowners Warned
To Mend Their Ways

London, Oct. The big landown-
'ers Of Englandihave been told, infsub.
stance, that as 4 cIssS they haxe
made bad mess of the land hrsiness
and that If they did NOT tdo better in
the future the country would take
the Land from them and turn them
adrift.
The speaker was Lord Bledisloe,
himself big landowner who, during
the war helped the govegnment man
age the food supplies Of the country.
The occasion was an addresss before
the British Association.
"The British agricultural landown-
er today is on his trial." Lord Bled-
sloe asserted. "Unless he justifies
himself as such, the naturalization
of the land is inevitable. Public opil;-
ion will demand his extinction, and
parliament will endorse the demand.
"Many landowners have been for
two generations nothing more than
rent receivers, and they have possess
ed neither the knowledge nor the in
clinationss personally to administer
their own estates, still less to cult.
vate' them on commercial lines for
their own and the nations benefit.
$50 far as they have been organ
lied as class of the community, :,
they have been organized, not as pro-
ducers of wealth, but. as defenders
OF property, and. as such their or.
has, in q, highly democratic
country, afforded, them. but small
and steadily decreasing measure OF
security. They have lost their polit-
tcal power because they had no. econ
omic basis. They have, not wholly
without justification, been stigmatized
as ignorant reactfonary and des-
potic."

Meat Packing Industry
Has Returned to Normal

Chicago, Oct. 9.-The meat packing
industry has returned to normalcy,
and the industry, the largest single
enterprise in the United States, if not
/, the world, is in better position today,
despite present problems, than it has
been in several years, according to
] Thomas E. Wilson, president of the
Institute Of American Meat Packers,
in addressing that organization in
18th annual convention here.
Wholesale meat prices have return

speaker said.
p A half-billion-dollar decrease in ex-
ports. equivalent to a 20 per cent
shrinkage in valnes in a three-year
period and billion-and-a-quarter de-
crease in poundage, or. 40 per cent,
indicated the tremendous readJust-
nent of the industry, Mr.. Wilson said.
The institute is expected to take
action tomorrow on platform for
the. ultimate establishment of n,,-
tional education institution Offering
specialized collegiate instruction to
young men intending to-, enter the
packing business and correspondence
and extension courses for those al
ready engaged in the business, as

Total for Five Years in Kansas

Price for CareIessness Is Too
Large, Report Shows.
KANSAS NOW IN 18TH PLACE
PreventabIe Losses Amount to
S5,245,S25, or 80 Per Cent.
Principal Cause for Fires in the
State Was Lightning.

Fire losses in Kansas caused the de-
struction of property valued at $17,-
322,32 in the 5-year period ending
with 1920, according to figures just
received here from the National Board
of Fire Underwriters. The statistics
were compiled from records of the
boards actuarial bureau.
These figures reveal IN a startling
way" the report says, the price being
paid by the state for pubic ignorance
and carelessness in handling fire haz-
ards"
The states fire losses during the
five years from 1916 to 1920 inclusive
averaged $3,464,46 per annum. 1t is
pointed out that if the total of $17,-
322.325 could have been used instead
of wasted, it would have built 3,464
houses at $4,000 apiece, sufficient to
more than house the entire population
of Leavenworth, or it would have built
1.132 miles of macadam roads at $10,-
600 mile
Kansas In 25th Place.
Kansas is twenty fifth among all
the states in the amount of loss by
fire and it is stated that the figures
quoted should be increased by about
% per cent to cover losses not re-
ported to the underwriters.
The causes are classified under
three headings. of which twelve are
designated as strictly preventable" !"
with a total of $5,245,S ,S25 or 30.3 per
cent of the whole; nine are designated
as partly preventable,' the aggregate
being $6,762,125 or SO per cent of the
complete loss. and in addition there
are those listed in the unknown col
umn, which total S5,314,375 or 3O.7
per cent. II is stated the unknown
losses may be considered as largely
preventable since, if determined, they
would have been distributed among
the other causes.
Lightning Was Principal Cause.
In analyzing the figures. it is found
that while exposure" which means
the effect of communicated fires, was
responsible for the heaviest loss, ST.
942,9S4. the principal specific cause of
fire was lightning" with a toll of

Early Vote FaYOrs Lewis, But
Outcome Doubtful.
Kansas Miners May Be Rein
stated in Union.
LEWIS MAJORITY ONLY IT'S
Less Than One-Third Vote Cast
by Convention.
Mine Heads Forces COcky
Earlier in Session.

Indianapolis, Feb. 17.-Surprising
strength favored consideration by the
convention of the United Mine Work
ers of America of an appeal by Alex
ander Howat and other expelled Kan
sas miners for reinstatement in the
union was shown today in the early
voting on the appeal.
Altho the early voting gave a ma
jority against taking up the appeal,
administration supporters of Presi-
dent John L. Lewis said they were
doubtful of the outcome. Favorable
action on Howat's appeal would
throw the whole Kansas controversy
before the convention, delaying until
next week the consideration af the
union wage policy. the principal bust
ness before the convention.
Vote Was Onc-Third.
Less than one-third of the conven-
ing session, giving a lead of 175 to
President Lewis in his opposition to
taking up the Kansas appeal. How
ats supporters predicted victory, but
the administration delegates said the
result would be close and none would
concede defeat.
Three of the four districts voting in
the morning were carried by the ad-
ministrat;on, but in each Howat
showed unexpected strength.
District No. l, the anthracite field
about Scranton, Pa, gave majority
Of twenty-five against Howat:
District No. 2, the bituminour field
of central Pennsylvan MIA, went to How
at by thirty votes.
Pittsburgh Against Howat.
District No. 5, the Pittsburgh BIZ
luminous field, voted against Howat,
bringing the administration lead to so,
and Ohio, forming District No. 6. gave
a two to one vote for the administra-
ton. bringing its unofficial majority
to 1T5.
Jealousies among the bituminous
coal operators dissatisfaction in their
own ranks and differences among
themselves that far outstrip the trou-
bles of the men are the main reason
for failure of the operators and min
ers to get together to work out a pro-
gram OF peace, John L. Lewis, presi-
dent, said.
Lewis declared the bituminous mine
owners are together only on one plan
that of reducing wages.
Negotiations between miners and
owners will be underway before April
l and while it seems, certain that a
strike Will not come Lewis regards a
few weeks suspension as inevitable. ~
Alexander Howat led his Kansas in
surgents into the convention hall to-
day a much subdued man and a very
meek leader. The Howat crowd shot
its bolt in the opening days of the
convention by three successive vic
tories over Lewis, only TO be caught
asleep at crucial moment and lose
what ground had been gained. Lewis
forces were cocky as the session
opened today for a roll call on the
question of allowing the Kansas ap-
peal to be carried on the floor They
forecast an administration victory by
several hundred votes.
