SECOND VOLUME LABOR
HISTORY NOW ON PRESS

By international Labor News Service.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. g.
The second volume of the American
Federation of Labor History, Ency-
clopedia and reference book is now
on the press and will be ready for
distribution before the new year.
1t contains the proceedings of the
conventions of the American Fedora
ton of Labor for 1919, 1920, 1921,
1922 and 1928. 1t will be a book of
about 400 pages, and is an important
addition to the first volume of the
History, Encyclopedia and reference
book which was issued in 1919.
In speaking of the forthcoming
volume, Frank Morrison, secretary of
the American Federation of Labor,
said:
Probably no more important mat
tiers have arisen in the history of the
American Federation of Labor than
in the last five years. After the
armistice many things happened that
made most important labor history.
The plot to debate labor and the farm
ers caused disputes that required from
two to three years to adjust.
"Just what laboE did to protect
itself and successfully pass through
during the strenuous period is all tolC
in the book, which is the only work
of it's kind ever printed by any labor
movement in the world. 1t gives the
uniformed an opportunity of in few
moments learning what has been done
by American labor on every question
! affecting it.
Nothing has been suppressed. The
book tells the story as it occurred
and there can be no criticism of its
correctness as the language used in
resolutions adopted, questions dis
cussed and decisions made are taken
from the written or spoken words as
officially reported"

1922. over 1900 such cases have beer
instituted. In more than $500 cases
injunctions were granted, over. 1880
of which have been made permanent
Particular attention has been devot-
ed to securing injunctions in brewery
cases. About $50 such cases have
been instituted against breweries. OF
those granted, 70 have been made
permanent, and 20 breweries have
been actually closed.
MANY important cases have been
prosecuted under the provisions Of
the criminal code for conspiracy to
violate the law. The heaviest penalty
ever imposed in any one case for
conspiracy and involved a fine of $751;
900 and a sentence of 20 years in
Jail.
"a well organized permit system
has effectually curbed the leak from
bonded warehouses. There has been
a reduction of Withdrawals Of about
100000 gallons from that in 1921,
the first fiscal dry year. Although
more industrial alcohol is being
used legitimately now than ever, due
to expansion in the volume of legi-
innate alcohol using industries, di-
versions to the bootleg trade are de-
creasing. 1t is estimated that less
than 10 per cent Of the entire produc-
ton is involved in illegal transac-
tions, substantial quantity of which
is later seized and destroyed.
can extreme reduction in the use
of medicinal wines as a beverage has
resulted from indicating the wine,
rendering medicinal preparations con-
tanning wine unfit for beverage use.
"Only about 10 per cent of the APP
plications for importation of wine
during the last year were approved,
all of which was for medicinal or
purposes. The prac-
tice of smuggling exported whisky
back into this country has been
practically eliminated by curtailing
OF the applications for
expectation of whisky in the amount
of over 100000 gallons during the
last year, only about per cent were
and none of the whisky
shipped to Canada"

VANCOUVER ALARMED ON
PUBLIC SCHOOL ATTACK

VANCOUVER, WASH, Oct... 16.-
Especial. ALARMED at the attack

patrons of the educational institu-
tions here are planning a campaign
that will reach every corner of the
county. Ralph A. Roberts, president

of the county directors association,
called a joint meeting of the two or
CARNATIONS in the Vancouver high
school auditorium which met October
IL, when the directors and teachers
completed details of their campaign
of education against the measure.
The calling of the meeting was in
spired by an examination of the rec
ords at the court house, which showed
that if the measure passed, one-fourth
of the one-room schools of the county
would be unable to comply with the
law requiring six months term to
participate in state apportionment,
and would therefore have no school,
opponents of the measure assert. In
none of the SO district Of the county
would it be possible to maintain
more than seven months of school
even should the 60 per cent vote on
the extra millage allowed in the law
be favorable. In the great majority
of the schools a six months school
would be barely possible, school pa

EFFICIENT LABOR FACTOR
MARINERS PROSPERITY

By International Labor News Service.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. g.
That sound management and efficient
use of labor pay dividends in farming,
as well as in industrial enterprises, is
emphasized in a report on a study of
100 farms in Clinton county, Ind.
made by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Conclusions drawn from the study
indicates that the spread of scientific
knowledge of farming can do much for
the agricultural regions of the nation.
As national prosperity is largely de-
pendent upon agricultural prosperity,
economists point out that efficient
farming is of Importance to every
class of the population, assuring a
steady buying power and stabilizing
business and employment.
The Department of Agriculture
found from its study of Indiana farms
that efficient use of man labor and
horse labor was an important factor
in the successful operations of farms
The study also revealed that farmers
who maintained more nearly uniform
cropping systems from year to yeal
were more successful than those who's,
systems varied most. Heavily stockel
farms, under good management, wer,
more successful than those light!
stocked.
Farms heavily stocked with hog
were found to be usually more snc
cessful than those of which othel
classes of stock predominated. Tn,
study indicated that the production o.
dairy products, poultry and eggs OF
all farms and of beef cattle on tn,
larger farms should be encouraged
along with the raising of hogs which
represent the principal money croT
of the district.
To produce incomes to support ade
quately the families living on tht
smaller farms calls for increased pro
duction, according to the Federal in.
vestigators making the study. CroI
yields per acre and livestock receipts
per animal were important factors
The farm which were above the av
erage for the locality in both these
matters were seldom unsuccessful
while those below the average in botI
were found seldom successful.

quarters of 1924, it is shown in data
received by the United States Depart
ment of Commerce.
In every month Of 1924 except May,
the total value Of new contracts was
greater than in the corresponding
months of 1928 which broke all con-
struction records.
Despite the tremendous building

continue for a long time, it is be-

'sGood thoughts, a supply of kind

is about bare of nuts, and seeing

Poor old granny, she will starve this

But Granny didn't starve. Instead,
she had a good supply Of nuts, and
one day, when Mrs. Young Squirrel,
who was looking rather thin and far
from well fed, happened to call, Gran
ny Squirrel treated her to nut cakes
and tea.
Where did you get nuts for cake
this time in the Winter?" asked Mrs.

stored any, because there we're none.
1t was dreadful season for us poor

Bq H lRDING KING
PIERCED COINS

TT YOU should find pierced coin or
= receive one in change, be sure and
keep it.; it will bring you good luck.
This is a very common superstition
everywhere and its causes are obvi-
ous A pierced coin suggests an anu
let-has evidently been worn as one,
the hole on 1t having been made to
pass string er ribbon through that it
might be suspended about the neck.
And an amulet protests against the
evil eye, witches, evil spirits and ma
lign influences generally as everybody
knows. Therefore keep the pierced
coin and you keep the advantages of
it's protective virtues Or the coin
may have been pierced and vera by
some one simply as a lucky piece" A
lucky piece is little different from
an amulet; an amulet wards off bad
luck, lucky piece brings good Luck.
The pierced coin, then, is evidently an
amulet or lucky piece and both are
good things to have about one.
In the power of the lucky piece we
see the operation of that primitive
idea, contagious magic. The lucky piece
has possessed it's benefcent qualities
inherently or has acquired them by
contagion and therefore from 1t we
can Catch the contagion of good luck.
The pierced coin superstition has it's
counterparts among all savage peoples
today and its ancestry reaches back to
primitive times.

CONSIDER THE MARKET.
ABLE MUSHROOM

n WAGE Garner without a wage
"A that's the anomalous position in
which a small-town girl sometimes
finds herself. Home conditions may
necessitate her following an endless
round of washing. ironing, scrubbing,
sweeping; but she may standardize at
least a part of her labor, may realize
the value of a part of her efforts
by growing mushrooms.
That's the solution of one girl who
for years had considered herself hope
lessly hampered by lack of outside
contacts, and the narrowing demands
of such home upon her time.
There's no secret of mysterious
formula, in spite of a more or less
prevalent opinion, for the growing OF
mushrooms, she assured me, that's
why q novice has just as good q
chance as an experienced grower"
For the girl who decides to plant
a mushroom garden the first step
is to get spawn, which corresponds to
the seeds she would use in growing
other plants This spawn, substance
taken from the living flesh of fresh
mushrooms, she will find specially
prepared in small-sized bricks. 1t is
vital that she plant fresh spawn, Of
the first quality. This high quality
spawn car be had at a reasonable
price. and it's use eliminates much OF
the element of risk in mushroom
growing.
The grower may plant her mush-
rooms anywhere indoors, in an old
barn, cellar, cave, shed or tunnel. The
temperature must be even anG mod
crate, and the beds must be shielded
from the direct sunlight. The tender
plants thrive on the cool semi-dark-
ness.
Probably the girl who grows mush-
rooms at home will find the cellar the
most accessible place that is suitable
for her purpose.
Although mushrooms ordinarily are
a winter crop, lasting from October to
Nav, winter, summer and intermedi-
ate mushrooms may be grown and
marketed in large quantities. The girl
who can furnish first quality fresh
mushrooms, put up in neat three Or
four-pound baskets, will never lack a
market. Hotels, clubs, restaurants
and private families Of her own COM
munity are her best-paying custom
ers, if she can build up her trade
among them If she decides to ship
some of her baskets for some distance,
she should send them direct to COM
mission agent, who will dispose Of
them for her, charging about ten per
cent for his services.
About 200 pounds of good, market
able mushrooms should be the average
Weld from each 100 square feet of
bed. The girl who can't leave home
may still be factor in the economic
world through the magic of her mush-
rooms.

THE small-town girl musician has
L found her place.
That's what learned from recent
talk with a girl far more unsteady
gifted than many one who feels
there is no proper audience for her
art outside the city.
mo longer does she need to be the
proverbial patient, all-enduring town
fixture, submissive to the whims of
children who take from her, doing
her daily bit with unruly students and
sticky piano keys" she declared. But
neither should she, on the other hand,
adopt the vices of the old-time city
music master who had convenient
ruler to rap sharply the knuckles OF
unresponsive hands. The girl muSi-
clan in small town may do any one
of dozen things with her music; and
if she happens to teach, she may
maintain both her self-respect and.
her fair mindedness.''
In these days of good roads and
automobiles, the girl who elects to
give lessons in piano needn't fear that
old DOGGY of the difficulty in finding
pupils. She may advertise in the
local paper for her pupils, or solicit
them personally, or, if she does not
care to do private teaching, she may
possibly find a place in the town
schools. Then, the church often re-
quires, besides the usual accompanist
at Sunday and midweek. services, a
musician to teach Christmas and
Easter carols to Sunday school stu
dents, and to train them, at various
times throughout the year, for con-
certs and cantatas.
A personally conducted 'Iyceum bu-
reau" is frequently profitable propo-
sition. The girl in charge should plan
the series of entertainments, which
may be given in church or school
house, to consist of well-chosen in
strumental and vocal selections, varied
with talks on operas, great composers
and similar subjects.
The editor of the local newspaper,
IL he doesn't happen to be unsteady
minded himself, may be glad to en-
ploy the musicians services OCCASION
ally to cover musical events for
him. Another opportunity for her
may be an arrangement with the max
ers of the piano of which she most
approves, by which they will grant
her a commission on all sales made
as the result of her recommendations.
The girl musician no longer has tc
bury her light under a bushel if she
remains in the old home town.
