RETAIL i : CLERKS
Started Year Monday Night
With Lively Session

Retail Clerks Union, Local l19,
got away in the new year with fly
ing start. The meeting held Monday
night was one of the liveliest ses-
sions held in the history of the organ
ization There was more fireworks
touched off than is usually seen at an
Eagles Fourth of July picnic, but
luckily nobody was hurt. There was
great discussion, much argument, lots
of criticism, and-some bawling out.
And it all came about because of the
change in the agreement with the
merchants for the closing of stores
on Christmas eve, and by reason OF
which change the stores remained open
on that night.
After a long debate, however,
everybody present seemed happy, the
members seeming to have better
understanding of each other, and the
old maxim of "all's we'll that ends
we'll" seemed to hold sway. These
/ little tilts and discussions are good
thing sometimes and really make for
better organization.
The argument at Monday nights
meeting waxed SO warm that the
members failed to take up the ques-
| tion of the next euchre, which was to
no,oa IN apd which ouaStion has held
the center of the stage in the organi-
cation this winter. This matter will
likely be taken up at the next meet
| ing. Quite a lot of business was
transacted at this meeting, which was
the last of the many meetings held in
the temple Monday evening to close

locked out 1,500 organized photo en-
gravers. The bosses are not satisfied
with destroying the 44-hour week, but

The workers declare that the move
will be resisted to the utmost and
that it is part of plan to put the
industry on the 48-hour basis.

"Gibraltar of Canada"

Quebec citadel, sometimes called
the "Gibraltar Of Canada" is a strong
fortifcation covering 40 acres OF
ground, and in it's present form it dates
from 1923. The more modern forti-
6cations we're constructed in $4,000,
substantially on the lines of the French
works of 1920. The citadel has been
earrisoned by Canadian soldiers since
the withdrawal Of British troops In
1871. 1t incloses a parade and drill
ground, ~ acres in extent, surrounded
by barracks and magazines under the
walls. Heavy cannon are mounted on
the ramparts. A large stone building

Marine phenomenon.

Late one January the steamship
Trafalgar, when within ten miles OF
Wolf rock, off the southeast coast OF
England, met with a remarkable ac-
cident.
A report like that of a cannon was
heard. and a large fiery body with
a tail 80 or 40 feet long struck the
water 20 feet from the vessel. 1t
was accompanied by a loud kissing,
and q column of water rose where 1t
struck the sea. Immediately after
ward the ship seemed to be on fire,
the engine room glowing with a violet
light filled with multitudes of sparks.
The mate engaged at the wheel suf-
fered a violent shock through the steel
rod in his hand. The crew fled to the
deck. 1t was found that all the com
passes had been demagnetized, and
the ship had much difficulty in making
her way to Falmouth. 1t was prob
ably a strong lightning flash which
struck the water, and the subsequent
electric phenomena were produced by
the dispersal Of the charge supplied
to the surface of the sea.

Royal Parish Church.

Section Men Watch Step.

Section men are known for their
deliberate movements. They never
get in a hurry unless there is some
urgent work to be done. AS long as
they are on the go they are supposed
to be working fast enough.
Track workers on the subway lines
are even. more deliberate in their
movements than men employed on
regular railroads. Where the old-time
section workers had to look out for
fliers and occasional freight trains,
the subway track men have to be on
the watch for express and local trains
passing every few minutes. In addi-
ton, they've got to have a care for
the third rail. In crossing the tracks
every movement is taken with the
death-dealing current always in mind.
A hurried, reckless step might end
fatally. Probably In no other line OF
work is efficiency so measured by
slow work.

Man Worth SO Cents.

A woman employee of a paper
manufacturing company, tired of
hearing men boast of their impor-
lance, dug up the fact that, according
to scientific investigation, the ingre-
dents of a man, plus water, are as
follows:
Fat enough for seven bars of soap.
Iron enough for a medium sized
nail.
Sugar enough to fill a shaker,
Lime enough to whitewash a chick
en- coop.
Phosphorus enough to make TWEEN
ey-two hundred match tips.
Magnesium enough for a dose of
magnesia.
Potassium enough to explode a toy
cannon.
Sulphur enough to rid a dog of
fleas.
This whole collection is worth SO
cents, and that in a day when things
are three times as high as they used
to be.

OPEN FIREPLACE A NUISANCE
Women of Past Generations consld-
cred the Huge Affairs of Those .
Days as Unnecessary.

Nowadays one of the most conylnc-
Ing proofs that you can give to the
fact that your city apartment is OF
the highest class and unlike the ordi-
nary is to say. that it has "open fire
place." Even a single "open fire
place" in an apartment is enough to
raise it from the shoddy majority.
And. OF course, when we dream OF
owning a house In the country most
Of us, nine out Of ten Of us, think of
an open fireplace as a sine qua non OF
such an abode.
But our grandmothers had no such
opinions of open tireplaces.
Open tireplaces were a real humili-
alton to the woman who had them in
her house so years or more ago. At
least that feeling prevailed in this
country. A small crate fire, that held
a few shovels of coal. was another
matter, but the sort of fireplace where
logs burned across fredogs was-well,
it was one Of the crudities that most
persons did not like to possess. Yes.
there was a time when q Franklin
burner or a drum stove was consid-
cred more of an ornament to the we'll
furnished drawing room than the
sort of wide-hearthed. fireplace that
we covet nowadays.

Americas Greatest Crop is Not
Cotton, But Corn.

Corn has always been Americas
greatest crop, and always will be. 1t
has kept US alive before. the weevil
came; it will keep us alive while he
is here and when he is gone-if he
ever goes. 1t is the cor and the hog
which has eaten it that has made
America the greatest nation of all
times. The crop is bigger and strong
er than the worlds entire wheat crop,
yet it IS produced upon only half as
much land. 1t is evident, therefore,
that had all of this corn land been
planted in wheat millions of people
must already have persisted. Break
land for corn broadcast; lay off five
and one-half to six-foot rows, with
middle buster deep, letting some of
the soft dirt drop back into the fur
row; plant at once in this furrow
eight to fifteen inches apart ten
inches gives me best results. Work
early to give it a start with harrow
or weeder, carrying two rows at a
time, four to six teeth being left for
each furrow. When it is knee high
and Inundated, spread fertilizer
broadcast on middle and bust with
one furrow big wing middle buster.
Put soda on one side Of corn two
weeks later, cover with n furrow,
big one-horse turn pillow, light; sow
peas broadcast; cover with n or
two sweep furrow and go fishing. If
soda only is used, and that is all
which I would advise, 100 pounds to
the acre. Let the middle wait ten
days longer than when fertilizer is
used; sow the soda on it, break out
and lay by as before stated. If velvet
beans are to be planted in corn use
method giving results around you.
Now that cotton has fallen down
on US, we should try to improve our
corr. In every neighborhocd there is
sure to be some young ms.n anxious

ARTIST WON FORTUNE
Comfortable Sum R~equeathed Fainter
Who Had Reproduced Features Of
Beloved Daughter.

A fortune Of $4,000, (s230.0O0t,
which a becueathed by the late Rob
ert B. Hawley, president of the Cuban
American Sugar company, to Mr..

mantle sequel to Mr.. Learned having
painted a portrait of the sugar mag
Mates dead daughter. Mr.. Hawley
made a fortune in the export business,
and in 1896 he was elected to con-
gress. Just after he left congress his
daughter Sue died, and he was heart
broken. The only likeness that he
possessed Of his loved n was q small
photograph, and this lacked much Of
the fine animation that had character
lied her face.
Taking the photo Mr.. Hawley went
to Arthur G. Learned, a rising young
artist, and asked him to make a por-
trait that would recall something Of
the inspiration the girl had been In
her fathers life. The !cture was
made and it exceeded the hopes of the
grief-stricken father. The latter was
so greatful that he became on the clos.
est terms of friendship with the paint

in November and left to Mr.. Learned
and his wife 100000, (S100,0OO), and

JEWISH FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS
Has Been Held for Centuries as a
Memorial of the Dedication
Of the Altar.

Hanukkah, the Feast of Dedication,
also called 'Feast of the M%accabees,"
is a Jewish festival beginning IN the
twenty-ffth day Of Kislew (Decem-
ber) and continuing for eight days,
chiefly as a festival Of lights. It
was instituted by Judas Maccabeus,
his brothers, and the elders Of the
congregation of Israel, in the year 165
|B. c., to be celebrated annually with
mirth and Joy as a memorial Of the
dedication of the altar, or the puri-
lication of the sanctuary.
After having recovered the Holy
city and the Temple from the Greeks,
Judas ordered a new altar to be
built in the place Of the n which had
been polluted by Antiochus Epiphanes,
who had caused a pagan altar to be
set up in the Temple of jerusalem, and
sacrifices sto be offered to his IDOL
When the fire had been kindled anew
upon the altar and the lamps Of the
candlestlck lit, the dedication of the
altar was celebrated for eight days
amid sacrifices and songs.
In the Talmud the festival Is prin-
cipally known as the "Feast of II
%lumination," and it was usual either
to display eight lamps on the first
night Of the festival, and reduce the
number on each successive night, or
to begin with one lamp the first night,
increasing the number till the eighth
night. The lights ere supposed to be
~symbolical of the liberty obtained by
the Jews on the day of which Hanuk-
kah is the celebration.

to have the best seed of corn to bear
his name. Select thirty best ears by
guess of one variety. Plant on uni
form land either in or out of regular
corn field. From part of each ear
plant a half-acre row twelve inches
in drill ;mark the row and the ear
from which it is planted with the
same number. Peg can be driven in
pith of both ends for this purpose.
Immediately put the pieces of ears in
a close rat-proof box with half pound
ball. Weigh the fertilizer for each
row and work alike. When corn is
gathered weigh carefully. 1t is no
longer %guesswork. The ear giving the
best yield will always do the same
again. It is however, necessary that
six of the next highest yielders be
mixed with it to avoid ruin by in
breeding. Plant these seven or nine,
pieces of EAR shelled together 400
yards from any other corn. Work
more rapidly than usual, old seed be-
weaker than new. Detassel every 9TH
er row and make field selection from
these detasseled rows only. That is
all-and a thousand times more than
we knew twenty years ago.
Plant an acre of Early Golden
Dent corr the very last. of March and
in June you will be glad. Manure well
before planting; use fve-foot rows;
plant six inches in shallow drill near
top of. the ground; work rapidly, al
ways to the corn. In June you will
quit your garden for these roasting
ears. When in doubt start feeding the
whole stalk to the horse and cow and
hogs, and they will be glad too. This
is easily the most healthy and eco
nomical food raised upon the farm.

FIND HEALTH IN SUMS RAYS
Anclents Had Full Faith in Treatment
Now Practiced in the Most Mod
ern Sanitariums.

In a small village In the Adiron-
dacks there Is a sanitarium where
patients take sun baths. And a high
price is charged for the treatment.
Bathing in the suns rays for health
is an ancient ceremony, handed down
from the earliest ages. Wiseacres in
bygone times used to battle in the
sunshine, believing in the great value
Of light as a destroyer of disease.
Light was the secret and universal
medicine by which they cured many
diseases.
Sunlight is the greatest factor in
our planetary existence; If it failed
all life would perish. One has only to
look at nature for potent examples.
In vegetable, animal and human life
the influence of sunlight is strongly
manifest. Compare the vegetation in
the gardens of a back street away
from the sunlight with similar growth
in the open country. Compare the
children of the country with those
living down a narrow street CT the
city Stems.
For creating good general health
and happiness no medicine is so eff
fectlve as the direct rays of the sun.
A sun bath consists Of letting the rays
Of the sun battle the skin each day,
preferably during the morning. The
body is, of course. wholly or partial
ly uncovered.

Custodianship of Much Gold.

Washington, March 19.-The Gus
todianship of a third of the worlds
gold supply, sS,6oO,oOo,oo o will be
taken over by F. E. Scobey, when he
assumes his new duties as director of
the United States mint tomorrow
morning.
This tremendous reserve of the
United States would have made Mi
das or Croesus weep with envy. No
country in the history of the world
has ever controlled such weight OF
the precious metal.
The last official act of the retiring
director, Raymond T. Baker, was the
signing late Saturday night of a de-
cree approving the installation in the
New York assay Office of the Cottrell
electrical precipitation process, which
will affect a saving of millions of dol
lars annually by extracting gold and
silver from rust, smoke and fumes.
This is the first time that the pro-
cess has been adopted by any govern
ment and if successful it will be in
stalled in the. Seattle office also. Elk
perimental tests by the government
have been in progress in the New
Work. office for several weeks.
Mr.. Baker is the last Democrat to
hold an important executive position
under the Republican administration.
AS a mark of the respect and esteem
in which he was held the several hun
dred employees in Mr.. Bakers de-
partment on Saturday afternoon pre-
sented him with a gold medallion
with an inscription thanking him for
his efficient service to the govern
ment and his courtesy to the en-
ployees.
Under Mr.. Bakers direction the
various United States minis have
been completely reorganized and
modern machinery installed, includ-
mig the melting of silver, bronze, cop
per and nickel by electrical processes.
During the years 1917, 1918, 1919
and 1920 the demands for coinage
were the greatest in the history OF
this country. In 1921 there was i'm
ported into this country over $780,
oo), 900 in gold. In 1915 our mints
coined one hundred and ffty-five mil
lion pieces of coin. In 1919 the rec
ord year in the history of world wide
coinage over eight hundred and
thirty-fve million pieces were stamp
ed out by the minis. This was accom-
plished with an increase of but twen-
ty-fve per cent of the regular force.
