I. W. W. METHODS.

Dr. Harry Hibschman has contributed an article to Current History dealing with the aims of the Industrial workers of the World and the arguments they use in an effort to obtain new members. It is a mistake to assume, he says, that the I. W. W. movement in this country is a myth or moonshine because hls in vestigations lead him to believe that the menace is growing, that the doctrine of boring from within is having it's effect and that the red radicals increase as public opinion becomes more indifferent to the threat of revolution.
 The I. W. W. preamble, adopted when the organization was formed in Chicago in 1905, spoke plainly. It provides for complete overthrow of the wage sys- tenn, appealing chiefly to unskilled workers to seize all industry and force the former owners to work for those who never have earned anything or dem onstrated the right to own anything. Sabotage-the destruction of property is a favorite method. Elizabeth Gurley Flynn said of 1t: "I am not going to at tempt to justify sabotage on any moral ground. If the workers consider that sabotage is necessary, that in itself makes sabotage moral. It's necessity is an excuse for it's existence" St. Johr says that the workers mean to use any means that will get the results they de sire. "The question of right and wrong does not concern us," he adds.
 Membership in the I. W. W. prohibitt the member from being loyal to hi country. we realize that as worker. we have no country" says one pro nouncement. One of the I. W. W. pa pers spoke of the attempt to Kill tn, American ambassador In Paris last fal as "a sublime triumph of internationa
 solidarity" because killing the Ameri
 can ambassador was regarded as a
 way to protest against keeping two for
 eigners in jail in this country oi l charges of murder.

 T suppose that we have grown rather careless, George and L We have so little company and it was a good thing to have some one come who wasn't afraid to do few things for our good" said Mrs. Sim mons niece. q know it doesn't look we'll to have newspapers all over the floor and cigarette ashes on the furniture, but when anybody does drop in, George would hate to have to tell them to be careful. It's his house, just as much as it is mine, and maybe more, and he ought to have some rights. The kind of friends we have are mighty nice, but honestly they wouldn't even notice If the pictures weren't straight.
 'Aunty often got up from her chair even when she was very tired and twisted frame until 1t was the way she thought it ought to be. It was really quite funny until the very last day she was with us We had to get up rather early on account of living so far out, because she had her heart set on getting an early train, which really was more convenient for George than a later one She went out on the porch with all her wraps about half an hour too soon and sat there in state while hurried around doing some work. When it did come time to go I couldn't find her for a minute, and when I did she said she had gone in to | straighten something or other, I didn't catch what. George says I never listen when ought to, and I guess he's right ''
 At that later hour you probably 1 thought it didn't much matter" Mrs Simmons laughed. And she could gt
 away feeling happier for having Jeff things straight for once"
 ''Yes, But when I came home it was 1 different" said the niece ruefully we have a little bit of an icebox that is 1 filled from the porch by the icefnan wher

 order more than twenty-five pounds al
 once. If we stand the ice sign on end i
 means ten pounds and upside dowr
 means twenty-five pounds, while on tho l other end 1t shows we want fifty pounds
 and right side up 100. That morning wanted twenty-five pounds, so the cart 1 was upside down, but when I went ou on the porch I found an enormous cakt of ice lying near the icebox, melting rapidly and getting the place soakin: wet. It was the ice card that Aunt Fan ny had straightened and in that way hat
 ordered 100 pounds of ice for me in

AUNTY AND THE ICEMAN

Georges Aunt Fanny has been with us for a week." sighed Mrs. Simmons niece as she settled herself in a porch rocker She's just as nice as can be Of course, but it's been a little strenuous"
 was she the sort that tries to correct your way of cooking?" Mrs Simmons ask : ed. "Or didn't she approve of golf?'
 "She showed me how to cook lot of things the niece said with enthusiasm And she was nice enough to say I am a good cook She thought George was very handsome in his golf clothes and that golf was good for almost everybody. It was on account of her being so awfully neat that she got on our nerves.
 I've seen that kind" laughed Mrs. Simmons.
 "she didn't say much" acknowledged the niece. But she did a good deal. She seemed to think it was all right to show us how to mend our ways by doing it for us and letting us see how nice 1t was that we had some one who knew how. You knew as soon as you saw her in the morning that she had found new way to show us and that she was happy to have been of service. George found | it out first when he went to that disrep- utable rack of pipes he keeps in his den and found that Aunt Fanny had been busy cleaning them with some kind oi smelly soap and hot water. You car l imagine what he wanted to say.

SLAUGHTER HOUSE MAINTAINED HERE;
 FINDS MUCH USE

Few people in the city know that Bridgeport boasts of a municipal slaughter house, and few realize that the community offers enough cattle, sheep, and hogs to warrant having sucn an institution. A city owned slaughter house, with men employed py the city, is maintained and is a we'll paying investment
 Cattle. sheep and hogs are brought from all the suburbs and are killed by the butchers for $2.5o a head. They are dressed and made ready for the butcher shops, all prepared for sale.
 Many of the people who take ad- vantage of this opportunity are Jew dsh. A Rabbi is maintained at the plant for the purpose of killing ami nnals for. his people.
 The usual netho of killing the cat tie by striking them over the head and stunning them is not employed at the plant, for it is claimed that this stagnates the blood. At the Bridge port house the cattle are cut under the neck, and the blood flows freely. It is claimed that this makes the flavor of the meat better.
 The plant is equipped to kill from 15 to 50 cattle day, the average from 20 to 25 head. While they are equipped to kill other animals; cattle furnish the bulk of the labor. The plant is always kept in fine sani- tan1y condition. The floors and walls are always kept free from all dirt and are hosed frequently throughout the day.

Says Preservation of Animal Health
 Is Indispensable

St. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 29.-Preserva- tion of animal health as indispensable to the health of the nation was stress ed by Dr. A. T. Kinsley of Kansas City, Mo-, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association, in an address opening the association's an- nua1 convention here today. The con- vention will continue through Thurs day.
 The horse is the logical and eco nomical power of the average Ameri can farm, Dr. Kinsley said, there will be an increasing demand for good draft horses in the future.
 The importance of a comprehen- sive knowedge of feeds and feeding cannot be overestimated, while the adoption of proper, breeding methods in meat producing animas would vast ly enhance the return to the breeder, according to pr. Kinsley. There have been a number of changes in the vet erinary practice in the last decade, Dr. KinsIey explained, the veterinar- ians' services at this time being prin- cipal1y confined to the prevention and control of infective diseases of meat producing animals in hord units. Twenty years ago it was almost en- tirely confined to the madical and surgical relief of individual draft ami mals, he said, but the successful vet erinarian of today is an immuno1ogist, while the successful veterinarian of twenty years ago was a surgeon. The transition was a sequence of the de- velopment of bacteriology.

 Three Suits For Money Owed Him

A. W. B1ycher of this city. has in- stituted three separate suits for dam ages of s15,000, $3,500 and $2.500 re- speotive1y against the H. D. Moon Building company of Fairfield In the first suit Blycher claims that in February 1920, he and Moon formed a corporation known as the H. D. Moon Building company.
 He claims that the assets of the company was to consist of real estate owned by him and a lumber business in Fairfield owned by Moon.

 Moore Camp Optimistic.
 Moore packers professed confidence, however, and declared that when the ballots were counted there would be a surprising upset of the dope.
 Senator Johnson himself has never felt the campaign to be in doubt. The day he arrived a little over a month ago to begin hisc ampaign, he de- clared:
 ''It is the same old fight against the same old gang, and it will be the same result
 Forthwith he plunged into speak ing campaign which has taken him from one end of the state to the other, bringing to bear all his old time fire and enthusiasm. Immense crowds have greeted him wherever he went, this being particularly true in Southern California, claimed by Moore's packers to favor the latter's candidacy.
 Throughout the campaign Senator Johnson has never mentioned the name of his opponent. referring to him always as the "viccarious candi- date" However. he has attacked Moore's packers without mercy.
