HOW COFFEE is GROWN

Coffee usually is spoken Of as 9
berry Or bean, but that part Of the
coffee tree that we use is really the
seed. The trees grow naturally to q
height Of from twenty to thirty feet
but this natural growth is checked by
the growers, who keep the trees as
low as five feet The cutting does
not injure the tree and it is far more
convenient to gather the fruit. The
coffee tree begins to bear when it is
about three years old and it continues
for about twenty years, the singular
fact about it being often noticeable
that the fresh blossom and the ripen-
ed fruit will appear on the same tree
at the same time.
The fruit of the coffee tree is round
and red and looks like our cherries
and, being sweet to the taste, is eat
en- by the natives as we eat cherries.
Each berry contains two seeds, the
beans with which We are familiar, in
closed in a skin, with their flat sides
together. The meat of the fruit Is
valueless, so when the fruit is gath
cred it is dried so that the seeds may
be easily removed.
How coffee first came to be used
as a drink is not known, but it has
been so used for at least a thousand
years in Persia. 1t was introduced
in Europe about 300 years ago.

RELATIVE VALUE

Entirely too much attention is be-
ing paid by the press of the country
at large to the Significance" of the
CHASTITY murder of little Robert
Franks, to which two sons of Chicago
millionaires have confessed.
The crime, shocking and revolving
as it was, had no general significance.
1t does not indicate the demoraliza-
ton of the country, the decadence of
youth or anything else particularly
alarming.
If dog contracts hydlophoha and
telro1izes a neighborhood it Is dis
tressing- but not particularly i'm
portant. The dog is killed by q po-
nceman, and that's an end CT it.
The two Chicago murderers con-
tracted a sort of mental hydrophobia
the result of too much money, liq-
uor and adolescent theorizing-ond
startled a nation. They will be tried,
convicted and put out of the way,
where they can do no more harm.
And that will be the end of that.
The coming political campaign, the
economic situation, crop conditions
and a hundred other matters are of
far more actual Importance than this
Or any other murder.

Progressives Call
Cleveland Convention

Formal call has been issued by the
officials of the Conference for Pro
gressive Political Action for the July
Fourth convention of the progressive
forces of the United States at Cleve-
land.
Before the eyes of the people" the
Call states, "the two old parties stand
convicted of corruption and of seryal-
ity to big business interests. The
great masses of our people have
turned from them in disgust and are
looking to our convention for new po-
litical leadership.
"If the Republican and Democratic
parties do not completely purge them
selves of the corrupt influences that
now control them, our convention Will
be in position to promote effectively
the candidacy of Senator Robert NJ.
La Toilette or some other real pro
gressive leader who can be trusted to
clean house in Washington, and in
augurate a nationwide campaign for
the election of trusted representatives
of the people to Congress and to state
and local offices"
The c. P. P. A, with organizations
now functioning in 80 states and plans
laid for extending organization into
the remaining IS, represents close to
two million organized workers and
farmers.
The Falmer-Labor parties of the
northwest, the Committee Of AS, the
Federated FaImer-Labor party, and
other groups committed to third
party movement are holding con-
vention in st. Paul on June 18th to
form a new national party and nOmin-
ate its standard bearers. A strong
effort is now being made to have this
convention defer making its presiden-
tial choice until after the Republican
convention, because of Senator La
Follette's expressed desire not to be
come a candidate until and unless his
party nominates a reactionary presi-
Dental aspirant. Although this is al
most a foregone conclusion, the Sena-
tor will not permit his friends to name
him as the head Of a progressive tick
ct until the reactionary machine in
control of the Republican convention
has publicly made its choice.

CHILD LABOR IN PERSIA

1t will be remembered that some
time ago the International Labor
Office made friendly representations
to the Persian Government with re-
gard to the conditions under which
women and children were employed
in the carpet weaving industry in
Herman and adjacent villages. Up to
that time children of four and five
years of age were started in employ
ment at the carpet weaving looms,
working long hours in most unsani-
tary surroundings. In many instances
children became cripples for life from
sitting many hours each day, crouch
ed over the loom. In due course steps
were taken to temporarily remedy the
conditions pending definite measures.
The Office now learns from the
Persian Minister at Berne that, in ac-
cordance with the decision of the Per-
sian Government, the Governor of the
Province Of Herman has issued de-
cree which confirms and in some re-
spects extends the measures previous
ly applied.
The decree provides a maximum
working day of eight hours, holidays
with pay on Fridays and festival
days, minimum age for boys of
eight years and for girls of ten years,
separate working places for boys and
girls with proper supervision, prohi-
bition of the employment of persons
suffering from contagious diseases,
prohibition of unsanitary workshops,
and unhealthy conditions in the shops,
and monthly sanitary inspection of
shops. The police authorities are in
structed to enforce these require
ments, any infringement of which is
punishable with fine and imprison-
ment.
