FOUNDERS HEAD
WOULD ADMIT ALIENS
UNDER CONTRACT

By international Labor News Service.
New York. Nov. 30.-William II.
Barr, president of the National
Founders Association, Is at it again.
In a speech before the Founders
Association convention here, Mr.. Barr
sang the same old anti-union tune he
has been singing for many years.
He advocated the open shop and
in the face of an overwhelming mass
of evidence indicating the decline Of
the "open shop movement he de-
clared that there is manifest in all
industrial centers a steadily increas-
ing acceptance of the principle Of
open shop operation"
But Mr.. Barr shone at his bright
est in discussing immigration. He
said that our immigration problem re-
mains unsolved and advocated a law
with elasticity" enough to provide
for a greater influx of immigrants.
He showed that he was not adverse to
the Prussian scheme of registering
aliens by asserting that a new law
Knight include a plan to register all
aliens" Then came his purest gem
of thought, a frank plea for contract
labor. He said:
Possibly through the joint ac-
ton of the Federal Departments
of Commerce, Agriculture and
Labor, we might secure an inter-
probation of the law which would
permit the admission of alien la
Dor under contract when there is
proven shortage in any branch
of agriculture or industry"
This ended Mr.. Bars talk, with
the exception of another TRADE
against trade unionism and a little
"taffy" designed to make the farm
ers feel they have a natural alliance
with the manufacturer, on the ground
that both have desire for lower
costs.

Opponents of unrestricted immigra-
ton must never relax their vigilance,
as the United States Steel Corpora
ton and other big interests though
admitting there will be no important
changes in present immigration laws,
are as determined as ever to have
the laws modified.

FARM EDUCATION
BY DIR. ANDREW M. SOULE

have had a long and arduous fight
trying to eradicate this grass. We
tried a great many experiments,
nearly all Of which failed. We found
no method OF fertilization or use of
poisons satisfactory because when
poisoning was restored to, the ma
teral had to be used in such quanti-
ties that it interferred with the sat
isfactory cultivation of the land. FL
nally, we began to try smother
crops. and this has proven the most
satisfactory and successful thing We
have found. For several years in
succession we planted winter oats in
which we also planted crimson clover
and vetch to make a thick bottom
as we'll Immediately after these
crops were cut for hay, the land
was broken and seeded to cowpeas,
soy beans or velvet beans. We have
practically eliminated the nut grass
py this method of procedure for the
simple reason that it cannot stand
constant shading. We believe you
will find this practice desirable to
follow on your farm. You will see
by this plan We were supplying our
selves with a desirable hay and inn
proving the soil and making 1t pro-
duce two crops year.
We doubt the desirability of Nc
pier grass for the purpose you have
in mind. On the other hand, you
could probably use KudZu, which is
a perennial vine, having some OF
the characteristics of the velvet bean.
We have regarded this grass as be.
ing better adapted for CALLED places
than for the purpose you have in
view. This plant, OF course, has to
be set out. Planting should be done
during the winter in rows from four
to ten feet wide. Do not cover the
plans more than two inches with
earth. The first year, the develop
ment will be rather disappointing.
You should encourage the plants to
run at every joint during the first
season. kudzu is rather expensive
to get started because Of the large
number of plants required. Many
people fear this plan because they
think it will become pest. It's
value for grazing would seem to
offset this trouble. We are also
often inclined to think that sys-
tematic cultivation would enable one
to eradicate it without serious diff

that he hesitated about taking any
chances.
SO he sat down just on the edge
Of the bushes and stared curiously
at the many things in Farmer
Browns barnyard, at the big barn
itself, and at Farmer Browns house
over beyond. He couldn't imagine
what those things could be, and his
feet fairly itched to take him over
there that he might see them close
at hand. But he couldn't quite make
up his mind to leave the shelter Of
those bushes.
He was sitting there staring out
with eyes round and full of wonder
when he heard a little rustlng
among the bushes off at one side.
Full of curiosity, he promptly went
to see what it meant. In Il shady

A BEDTIME STORY
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

place he came face to face with the
queerest looking fellow he had seen
in all his short life. This queer fell
low didn't see him. He seemed to
be very busy. His back was bumped
up, and he seemed to be having trou-
BILE of some kind. Now and then he
would stop at what he was doing
and rest. Then he would hump his
back again and go through the fun
niest performance.
Then the young Chuck discovered
something so queer that he could
hardly believe what his eyes told him
really was SO. This queer fellow
skin had split down the back and
was beginning to come off. Under
meath it was a new skin. While the
young Chuck watched, the queer fell
lows skin split down his legs and
his arms, and one by one he pulled
the latter out of the old skin.
This was astonishing in itself. but
what was more astonishing was the
fact that this queer fellow was ac-
tualy swallowing that old skin of
his as fast as it came off. At last
he pulled the very last of it over
his head and stuffed it into his big
mouth. Then he gulped two or three
times and that was the last of that
old skin. OF course, you have guess
ed whO-it was. 1t was Old Mr.. Toad
changing his clothes.
"Ha, ha, ha." laughed the young
Chuck. "Ha. ha, ha! You are the
funniest looking thing I ever saw.
Ho. no, no. ! never knew before
that anybody could take his skin off
and swallow it.
At the sound of that first laugh
Old Mr.. Toad turned and saw the
young Chuck for the first time. He
was indignant. He was indignant be-
cause he was being laughed at, and
he was indignant because the young
Chuck had been impolite as to watch
him change his clothes. He was so
indignant that right away he began
to swell up with anger. That made
him look funnier than ever, and, IF
course, it made the young Chuck
laugh harder than ever.
What are YOU laughing at de-
manded Old Mr.. Toad, although, of
course, he knew perfectly well. Il
don't see anything to laugh at
"Ha, ha, ha Ho. no, no. OF
course you don't because you don t
see Yourself" replied the young
Chuck. and laughed harder than
ever. Mr.. Toad became so angry that
he fairly choked.

Wv you pick for your daughter?
A group of women We're dis
cussing this subject recently, and
one of them said:
my daughter is a modern girl and
she either desires my advice about
choosing husband, nor would she
demean herself by listening to any
words of wisdom that might fall
from my lips on the subject. She
will probably choose a man for her
life-mate because he has romantic
eyes, or hair that looks like train
cd seal, or because he plays A good
game Of golf, or his dancing step
matches hers.
But if I could choose a husband
for my daughter my first care would
be to pick out q man without a past
and with a future. I'd select a youth
who could file a good, clean bill Of
health along with his marriage Ii
cense, for [ don't want my little
daughter to have to help harvest
any wild oats crop.
"The idea of reforming a man is one
that is singularly appealing to vanity
of young girls. But we older wom-
en- know that it's a miracle that
mighty few women ever work, and
when they do it isn't worth the time
and labor it costs to do it. I'd pick
out, to begin with. a man who didn't
need to be reformed. No use in TAX
ing damaged goods when you can
have good stuff at the same price.
"If I were picking out my daugh-
7 I
ic eye on his future. I would try to
guess what he would be twenty-five
years hence-whether he would still
be a salesman or the head of the
sales department of his firm; wheth
er he would be a struggling, shabby,
dscoura ged lawyer or a doctor, or
at the top of his profession.
This isn't so hard to do because,
barring sickness and acts of God, as
the shipping manifests say, the go
getters always get it. and the pep
less never do. "Dreamers and poets
and Peter Pans make fascina tin 6,
lovers but poor husbands. The men
who hold their wives affections are
the men who know how to get along
in the world, for when romance be-
gins to fade nothing takes it's place
in a wife's heart like pride in her
husbands achievements. Besides,
most husbands are just husbands
after You have been married ten
years, but comfortable home is al
ways a comfortable home.
Of I were picking out my daugh-
ter's husband I would say with the
psalmst, Give me neither poverty
nor riches l would not pick out
a rich man for my daughters hus-
band because the boy who has had
much money is almost invariably
spoiled. He is nearly always selfish,
undisciplined, without self-control.
He has been able to indulge every
whim and, follow every fancy, and
! he finds it almost impossible to make
| the sacrifice and submit to the dis
cipline of matrimony. Look how
often brilliant marriages end in dis

rich young man even secure finan-
cially because the man who has

THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS

THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS
That they may have my joy mad
full in themselves.-St John 17;13.
Earthly happiness, env pleas
ure that comes from without
through the senses, may be pure;
but it is never perfect, and it
does not last.
Happiness on earth, spiritual
joy and peace, satif1es us now,
and has the promise of immortal
ity.
The secret Of it is fourfold
1t does not depend on what we
have. but on what we are.
1t is not found by direct seek
ing, but by setting our faces to-
ward the things from which it
flows.
We must climb the mount if
we would see the vision, we must
tune the instrument il we would
hear the music.
1t is not solitary, but social.
We can never have it without
sharing it with others.
1t is the result of Gods will
for us, and not of our will for
ourselves; and so we can only
find it by giving our lives to his
control.

The Amount of Salt Needed by
Farm Animals

The Amount of Salt Needed by
Farm Animals
A correspondent writes: How
much salt should horses, milk
cows, beef cattle, hogs. sheep
and poultry receive? What eff
feet has an insufftciency OF salt
upon live stock? What is the
best way to feed salt TO live
stock?
We believe salt is a desideratum
in the dietary of all live stock. 1t
seems to be helpful as a digester,
and it adds palatability to the ra'
ton as we'll. Apparently, it is very
desirable to furnish animals with
this substance in the amounts they
may need. Our policy has been to
use rock salt for all the classes of
farm animals enumerated In youE
letter. and which we keep, of
course, in relatively large numbers
on our farm. Animals seem to know
how much salt they need, and, II
it il placed where they can secure
it ad libitum, they will apparently
take what they need. We consider
this a much more satisfactory ar
rangeInent than trying to salt ami
mails by hand on stated OCCASIONS
in accordance with the practices
pursued by many farmers. We are
inclined to think that when this
plan of action is followed out, that
some animals may get too much
salt and others not enough. Thea
it is doubtful if the taking of too
much salt at one time is anything
like as wholesome rs the supply OF
it ad Iibitum whenever the animals
desire to take it. 1 do not know
that 1 can say what effect an in
sufficiency of salt has upon live
stock. In our experience the animals
seem to become very restless ant
l think the coat is staring. and
there are other distinct evidences
