as the worst city on this continent,
calmly allowing white slavery, the drug
traffic and crime of every nature to
thrive without interference, even under
the protection of officials paid by the
people TO keep the city clean.
There was a touch of pathos in the
DOCTORS report when he drew a picture
of the wrctchcd inmates of the dis
orderly houses, virtually prisoners,
morally and physically.
Major Haywood wasted no words in
his report.
The drug traffic, he declared, had
found its principal center of prOpaga-
ton in and around Montreal. Moth
ing was being done effectively to deal
with these hotbeds of degradation.
Laws are passed" declared the
major, "to close these places up, but
laws provided with loopholes to at
once render the closeup processes in
effective"
The police departments are unmcrci-
fully fIayed.
The policy of the Montreal police, :"
DR.. Haywood says, "is to tolerate these
houses. The magistrates let the Of
tenders go with paltry fines. If these
magistrates chose they could clean up
the red lights in a month. But as
it is, Montreal is q city which boasts
of n district protected and allowed
TO run openly against the law. These
commcrcializcd vice establishments turn
out drug addicts, criminals and dere-
Licts at an alarming rate.
what can you do when n Montreal
detective has his telephone address at
one of the most notorious of these
dCns Of infamy?"
Chief of Detectives lie Page has
asked for public inquiry into Dr.
Haywood's charges and this was
definitely arranged today. 1t is prob
able that witnesses will be brought
from all parts of the United States
TO give evidence of crime traffic.

How They Used to Learn.
The rider began by illustrating how
cyclists of 80 years ago learned to ride
the clumsy machines Of that day. His
imitation of man learning TO ride
at bicycle school such as Psed to be
conducted was amusing.
Mr.. st. Onge concluded his little OK
hibition bv showing how to sit when
riding n bicycle. He said that many
people try TO make hard work of riding
a wheel when only n little muscular
effort is required. He declared that n
cTclist sitting in the correct position
should ride for hours without firing.
Bicycle riding. st. 0ngc said. Is. ono

ALMOST so PER CENT
OF UNION SHOPMEN
REMAIN ON STRIKE
Those Returning to Work
Pay Regular Amount
Into Fund.

Kansas City, Kan, Jan. 13.-Almost
half of the members of the six rail
shop craft unions are still on strike
six months after the walkout of July
1, ]. A. Franklin, head of the Inter
national Brotherhood of Boilcrmakers,
announced tonight following a survey
of the situation.
Commissarics have been established
in practically every railroad shop cen
ter in the country. Every shop craft
union man, as he returns 10 work with
the railroads, pays into the strike
fund one days salary out of every
two weeks period. This nets a weekly
income of 100000. Around $4,000
600 has been paid by the international
unions into the fund. Other unions
are contributing.
The Santa Fe, Union Pacific and
Missouri Pacific, the three trunk lines
to the Pacific coast, are leading the
fight against the demands of the union,
Franklin asserted.
Most of the shopmen who have re-
turned to work since the general walk
out in July went back under the Viii
lard plan, which gave the men their
seniority with a clause that wages were
to be settled by a commission from
the strikers organization and the rail
roads.
Despite the size of the workers loss
in the strike, that incurred by the rail-
roads has been vastly larger, Franklin
declared.
A large number of strikers have
found positions in other lines and the
funds being received by the treasury
will carry the others over. Franklin
stated. The men will be able to stand
and remain out indefinitely, he said.

OUT or THE PIERRE MIXUP

McMaster and Gunderson is the
way a good many people had
sized up the republican, action at
Pierre Tuesday but they had not
figured that Coolidge would be
named to head their ticket.
Thus we have the strange cir
Cumstance Of two men running, on
a ticket with candidate for pres
ident whom they had opposed.
Their choice for president was de-
feated and they find themselves
linked up with the man they had
not favored. 1t Is up no them now
to play the game.
The lack of enthusiasm which
the Hiram johnson candidacy had
reused was significant before the
meeting, despite the fact that con
gressmen and one senator had
come out in public Endorsement OF
the California man. The action OF
the delegates proves that the party
representatives in this state are at
least not taking dictation from
their. congressional delegation.
The outcome of the meeting
means that Sterling will enter the
primary fight upon a minority or
independent nomination and the
issue between, McMaster AMI
Sterling for United States serli-
torShip will be settled at the polls
in March.
Sterling is more likely to file as
Independent as then he gets into
the first column on the ballots and
need make no entangling alliances
with others on minority ticket
BY that time the presidential
factor will enter into the situation
and the Coolidge forces will prCb-
ably hasten to join the fray sact
that will likely add strength to the
majority ticket. McMaster, the
governor and the congressman
running upon the same ticket with
Coolidge can hardly do otherwise
than play the game according to
the rules and take the voice of the
meeting as their authority. forget
their Johnson Endorsement spoken
in the first flush of enthusiastic
recollection of The oratOrical Cali
fornian's visit to this state three
years ago.
For national committeeman w.
e. Milligan of this city was re-
nominated and If elected he bids
fair now to reap the actual respon-
sibilities of a position he has held
for two years as an empty honor

lively arguments as to who wrote
the spiciest. epitaphs. They have de-
cided that the men of past centuries
take the palm. For instance, there
was poet named Benserade who
was hanger-on Of the great Cardi-
nal Richelieu, who during his life
time pensioned him. When his pa
tron died, Benserade wrote an cpl
taph in verse whose rough transfa-,
tion is:
"Here lies, here lies, by Jove,
The great Cardinal Richelieu,
And what bores me stiff is
My pension lies with him."
In the same period another. poet,
Jacques Dulorems, wrote one for his
wife's grave:
"Here lies my wife. All, how good
For her repose-and for mine!"

TOUCHES THE GROUND

THE family cat died. The
1 farmer who owned the cat.
In digging the grave discovered
q substance which proved to be
mari. This farmer had been
hauling limestone long dis
lance for his alfalfa fields. In
conference with his country
agent, he discovered that mari
would take the place Of lime
in correcting the acidity Of his
soil. This experience led him
to the use of mari that existed
on his own farm and saved him
much time and considerable
expense in hauling.
Similar opportunities have ex.
listed and still exist Many
farmers in the middle west will
recall what a pest sweet clover
used to be. Now this pest is
being used prof1tably as hay
and pasture for livestock and as
q crop to be plowed under for
increasing the fertility Of the
soil.
Kansas is called the "Sun.
flower State" and those who
have lived there will we'll re-
member how they have fought
this weed. Today sunnowers
are being grown as a crop, as
feed for chickens and it is also
being utilized with or without
corn ~ suitable crop for the
silo.
1t is surprising to discover
how many things which were
frowned upon in days gone by
are now serving q useful pur-
pose. These changes have been
brought about by observation
and study. Brains count on the
farm as elsewhere. The man

ADVENTURE OF
, THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

The next riddle that the Riddle
Lady asked was a long one. I'm
sure you never. never. never can
guess what it was.
"There was tree that grew, dears,
To quite wondrous size,
It's branches spread quite wide be-
low,
But narrowed toward the skies.
"And on the tiptop twig of 1t
There CLEANED a gorgeous star
That surely must have fallen from
The dark blue sky afar.
ats roots were deep in hiding
Below the parlor floor.
It's widespread branches covering
Six mountain chains or more.
"Not only were there tunnels
y And bridges, fields and brooks,
But lakes made out of mirrors
And hills made out Of books.
"The beasts were quite amazing
Beneath this sheltered wood,
For woolly lambs were grazing
Where hungry tigers stood.
"And near the fiercest lion
A velvet puppy sat,
While out upon the briny deep
A turtle. chased cat.
"And overhead what marvels
Were waiting to be told!
The tree bore silver sugar-plums
And fruit of shining gold.
"And toys grew there thickly,
From dolls to jumping-jacks,
And soldier-suits and engines
That ran on shiny tracks.
"A trumpet grew on one branch,
A drum hung just below,
And underneath, shiny sled
Made tracks on cotton snow.
"This tree blooms just in winter,
For one short single stay;
I wish that we could find the seed
And have one every day."
"We know! We know!" shouted
all the Riddle Land people. otis a
Christmas tree!"
"Well, we'll, well!" laughed the
Riddle Lady. II supposed someone
would guess it, but I didn't know
that everybody would be so smart
That means; that everybody in
Riddle Land will have to have a
prize.
Nancy and Nick, will you please
do an errand for me IN your magic
shoes? Go and ask Johnny Jump
Up, my butler, to unlock my store

Of what-nots?"
