Traffic Squad
Stops Speeding

The police department has done
effective work in making traffic safe
in the residence section of the city
officers having been posted along the
main travelled routes. Would-be
speeders soon learned that an officer
may be "just around the corner" and
usually they found them just where
they expected them the least.
This uncertainty made the drivers
moer raceful and tho no arrests have
been made, the fact that the police
were on the job, is we'll recognized

Martins Duster
Fine Improvement

Out on Will Haile's farm, a few
nights ago, we watched them busting
cotton with the Martin Cyclone Dust
err and from the way the dust flew,
and ease with which the machine is
operated, we believe it the most prac-
teal farm tool of its character.
The machine dusts two rows at the
time, is extremely easy to turn in the
furrow and its light weight makes it
easy on the mule and operator. We
are told that Mr.. Martin is receiving
many orders for his boil weevil ma
chine and from the way this one is
appreciated on the Halle farm, we
can readily believe that it will become
one of the most popular busting ma
chimes on the market.

BEWARE OF ARSENATE
POISONING IN FOOD

Blackberries, vegetables, ETC., should
be bought with great deal of caution
where they have been in close proxi-
nifty to cotton lands, which are be-
ing treated to calcium arsenate.
Blackberries, growing in or near
a cotton field, should be entirely
avoided, as the calcium arsenate dust,
carried by the wind, settles on the
blackberry bushes and serious results
may come from eating these berries.

Something to
Think Ab0ut
A RAY OF SUNSHINE
By r. II. WALKER

TT MATTERS not how lovely we
= may be, nor how dread life-tides
about our little selves may ebb and
flow, there is always some one among
our friends and acquaintances upon
! whom we can shed ray of sunshine.
Some one Is living under darker
skies than we, longing for encouraging
words or cheering smiles; some one
is starving for affection which means
to him or her lamp Of hope; some
one is striving to overcome ruinous
habits, too weak to hold his or her
frail craft on a safe course.
Each one is living In q state Of
gloom, from which there seems to be
no way Of escape.
| Each one needs ray of friendship,
the blessed boon which If used Alright
would make the whole world brighter,
| knit mankind closer In happiness,
soothe aching hearts, dry burning tears
and hide from cold stares the beggar'B
outstretched hand.
There Is something In soul-sunshine
| human nature.
SO send forth this mystic cheer far
and wide.
| Strew flowers over the rugged path
of the poor and the sorrowing, the Ill
and the wretched, the old and the
lonely.
Pour sunshine In their hearts and
see 1t illuminate their countenance,
wing their feet and tune their tongues
to praiseful songs.
| Let it shine on every cross and care.
There are, hungry hearts every
where, behind walls Of marble and
slabs of novels, praying for apprecia-
ton and sympathy.
Find one If we can and blow to
flame the spark that kindles love.
Scatter sunshine across the sea and
over the land until Ii shall turn night
to noon-tide.
We may speak different dialects, but
we can punctuate our sentences with
cheer and make ourselves understood,
not clumsily nor dimly, but easily and
clearly as the sunlight of heaven.
And If we have within us the right
spirit, we can continue this benefcent
work until love shall canopy the earth,
faith and hope food the dark places
with glorious light and sorrow turn to
gladness Whatever the number Of
good deeds we may have done how
ever far we have flung the sunshine,
there will be times in our lives when
we shall feel that we have not done
enough to merit the peace which Is
urs-unspeakably sweet and rich be-
yond price.

tinue the fine conditions existing in
the building situation of Hamilton to-
day, that they are satisfied to con-
tinue their lot as it is. 1t means
too, that the carpenters didn't want to
do anything that would stand in the
way of the union building contractors
and the real estate men who are fair
to union labor and who recognize
union labor in their business trans
actions, and who at all times show a
willingness to meet their employees
half way
Business Agent Herman Perpingon,
of the carpenters, said:
"We hope by our action in accept
ing last years wage scale for the
future to settle the wage question for
a time and to stabilize building costs,
thereby encouraging those contem-
plating building to proceed. And right
now | want to say further that the
relations between carpenters and
joiners and the contractors and the
real estate men who are fair to or
ganized labor in Hamilton, | consider
ideal; no better conditions between
employer and employe exists any
where than in Hamilton"
! Alta boy! Fine stuff. 1t is be-
lieved that the action of the carpen-
ters will be followed by others of the
building crafts unions in an effort to
further the hinted-at building boom
in Hamilton.

nothing intellectual in organized la

aesthetic to these souls who live in a
rarefed atmosphere, as they labor in
anti-union shops, under sweating con-

The 'radicalism" of these workers
can not be questioned, says Editor
Danish. "They attend lectures on
questions of high political and literary
import with zeal that is well-nigh
religious" he says .'Their enthus-
iasm for the social revolution is as
burning as it is unbounded."
The labor editor refers to one
group of these radicals" who devel-
oped to such a point, intellectually,
that none belonged to the union An
attempt to organize them brought an
injunction against the union. The
boss then asked these "revolutionists'
to sign an agreement that they would
not join the union. All but two signed
that agreement. The boss continues
to inforce his anti-union conditions
