EXPLOITED WORKERS
 RESIST SUGAR KINGS

San Juan, Porto Rico, March 3o- Agricultural workers in several cities and towns secured higher wages and have returned to work after a strike of several weeks. The unions asked for $2 day They have secured $I.o5, instead of the 75 cents that they formerly received
 With sugar selling at $7.5o the sugar interests of this island could pay $3 a day and make millions of profits, declared Santiago Iglesias, member of the Porto Rican senate and president of the Free Federation of Workingmen, affiliated with the A.. F. of L.
 Tn letter to the island executive, President Iglesias called attention to the refusal of several large sugar cor porations that have refused to even discuss wages with the workers rep resentatlves.
 Some of them are holding land in excess of the amount that corpora tions may legally hold. President Ig- lesias said they are not satisfied with this violation, but they use the po- lice force to suppress the right to strike, the right to peacefully assem- ble and the right to parade. They not only use the police force to hunt strikebreakers but compel the police men to work.
 "Workers are accorded almost sav- age treatment by these employers, overseers and poice," said Iglesias. They are compelled to buy their food at certain stores They are heartless- ly exploited, their children die for lack of nourishment, and their women are humi1iated and corrunted" !"

GEO. WASHINGTON'S
TABLE WELL SUPPLIED
TENTED LIST OF TABLE Elk
PENSES OF FIRST PRESIDENT
SHOWS HE LIVED HIGH.

ALBANY, N. Y.-As president
George Washington certainly set a
good table. An itemized list, never
published, penned by Washington and
giving his household expenses from
May "a to August a. 1889, when the
white house was located in New York
city. is contained in collection o.
Washington papers owned by the state
and reposing in vault in the state
education building.
Based on the expenses for three
months Washington figured out his
wears expenses at 1925 pounds and
y shillings or about $4,000.
The list, penned in Washington's
characteristic detail proves beyond
anv question of doubt that George
Washington was not at all stingy as
a provider. His butcher bill for the
three months ran to about 5000, items
showing occasions when turkey grac-
ed the presidential table. Apparently
Washington had plenty of fresh vege-
tables. for this item alone ran up to
5000 with d milk and cream bill Of
.S145. HOLSTERS cost S45.
Even in those days servants broke
dishes and this item is set down at
sos with the wear and tear of linen at
Sis. In the cup that cheers beer
appears to have been the principal bev-
erage, the three months representing
an outlay of about $40, with $l05 Tor
claret, S45 for porter and only tVe
shillings for cordial.
Washington's fuel bill was only S5O
$4,000.

Prevent Black Rot of Sweet Potatoes

Do you plan to grow sweet pota-
toes this year? If you do, it is i'm
portant: First, that you bed them in
a new bed and not bed them in the
same one as last year. Diseases that
are in the old bed will attack the new
potatoes, making poor draws" and
low yields in the field. Second, that
you disinfect your seed potatoes be-
fore bedding them, in order that this
years crop may be free of disease
when ready for shipping or storage
next fall.
At bedding time it is advisable that
great care be used in selecting seed
potatoes and that they be carefully
handled all the time until bedded Sort
out the seed before bedding, and dis
card all potatoes showing any signs
of disease. All those that are cut or
bruised should also be discarded
After carefully selecting the sweet
potatoes for bedding they should be
disinfected in solution of bichloride
of mercury, at the rate of l ounce to
s gallons of water. The potatoes
should remain in the solution for 10

PRESIDENT WINBURN
MAKES STATEN ENT
CENTRAL RAILROAD WANTS
SAME TREATMENT ACCORD
ED OTHER INDUSTRIES.

While the railways in the southern
group have in recent years been earn
ing an average of less than 4 per cent
other industries have averaged from
II per cent to 20 per cent, according
to figures quoted by President Win
burn, Of the Central Of Georgia rail-
way. Information upon reports OF the
Federal Trade Commission illustrates
the difference between conditions that
govern the railways and those under
which other Industries are permitted
to function.
1t is pointed out that there is no
guarantee of a return of per cent on
railway stock and bonds and that the
railways have never even approXimat-
ed the rate of return fixed by the In
terstate Commerce Commission, but
from year to year have had to pocket
their losses.
Mr.. Winburn argues that transport
tation is an essential factor OF bus1-
ness and that if the railways are to
function in the interest OF the pub
lie thew must be allowed to earn and
retain a rate of return which will en-
able them to obtain funds to meet the
increasing demands OF commerce.
This cannot be done, however, If re-
strictive policies are carried to great
er extremes.
Mr.. Winburn states that the Cen
trail of Georgia asks only the same
treatment that is accorded industries
generally, without further impairment
and limitation of earning power
through rate reductions and adverse

Dip the seed in wooden hampers or

When so bushels have been dipped

PARIS CALLS TO MANY

Rv Bernard Razner.

The thrill of France still lures the

AS a result the trail Of the A. E. F.
winds sinuously all over France.
Whether you idle in gloomy Calais,
sunny Marseiles, or ancient Bor-

footsteps, springing into existence
where you least expect him. He is al
most ubiquitous. [ found him running

tor of a restaurant in Bordeaux, OF a
weekly paper in Paris, and OF a mil
iinery store in Limoges, aided in the
latter undertaking by his French wife.
To earn his living John Doughboy
may run a typewriter, teach English,
or dig ditches-but he doesn't do the
latter if there is any other way OF
filling an empty stomach.
In truth, the man from home visit
ing in Paris is astonished at the nu-
merical strength of the A. E. F. vet
Grams in the American colony there.
John Doughboy has his finger in
nearly every pie. There are two
American newspapers in Paris, and
each has an all-veteran staff. The
American banks have numerous en-

 FOR SOME MAN
Broccoli Grower Can Make Money if He Can Produce
 Wanted in Oregon.

EUGENE, Ore. Jan 25.-A for tune is in sight for the man who successfully raises broccoli seed in large quantities, according to local broccoli. growers. The price of the seed has recently advanced from S25 to $32 q pound. and it is stlli scarce even at the new price, say growers near here and around Roseburg, the two Oregon points that specialize in this crop.
 Broccoli scod is three times as valuable as an equal weight of sil- yer, say the local producers. At sS2 a pound, the seed is worth s2 an ounce. while recent silver quotations list the metal at ca 3-4 cents an ounce. Because of it's extreme value and great scarcity, local broceol. growers keep the seed in safety de posit boxes in bank vaults. The seeds are extremely small and easily affected by moisture
 Although the seed is expensive, i; goes long way. IL is estimated tha' a pound of the seed will produce enough plants to cover eight acres of ground. The value of the seed il traceable to. its size, scarcity anc the trouble required to raise it. Tw. years are required to produce tho seed
 Broccoli is q member of the cab bage family. It is also called twin ter cauliflower," because it mature. in mid-winter.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded. gray hair to it's natural color dates back to grand mothers time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark. glossy and attractive. Whenever ner hair took on that duii, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect.
 But brewing at home is mussy and out-of.date. Nowadays, by ask ing at any drug store for bottle of Wyeth's Sage aud Sulphur Com pound" you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition to other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown drug gist says it darkens the hair so na- turaHy that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. talk ing one strand at time. By morn- ing tho gray hair disappears, and after another application or two. it becomes beautifully dark and glos- sy. -(Advertisement
