Heauthcoie worked hard
 To Win Baseball Fame
(Ry Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-It has been a long, uphill trek for Cliff Heath cote, outfielder of the Chicago Cubs, but he has reached the smoother path of stardom at last. Big league pilots in St. Louis and Chicago labored with Heathcote for six years until last season, when he found himself and added the vital battle eye to his already acquired assets of speed and fielding ability.
 Heathcote hit sos last season, the first time he has entered the charm ed circle since he first trod a big league base-path. Baseball men see in his success a change in the times and types-an era in the national game where leaders pay more atten- tion to development, persevering against discouraging odds instead of casting aside talent which fails to show quickly signs of greatness.
 Heathcote showed unusual promise when he first attracted the attention of Branch Hickey, St. Louis Cardinal manager. Cliff was bought by Hickey when he was with the York, Pa., independent team, shortly after grad uating from Penn. State College. Civ ing some seasoning with Houston in the Texas League, he was recall ed by the Cardinals in 1919. Hickey was convinced he had real "fnd' when Heathcote hit .279 and felded sensationally in his first big league season. But he developed fast along every line except batting.
 Heathcote boosted his batting mark in 1920 to .2S4, but dropped down to .244 in 1921, and the following year was traded to Chicago for Max Flack, a veteran. Bill Killefer, pilot of the Cubs, then took Heathcote in hand and coached him patiently. He hit only .249 in 1928 and was not used regularly, but last season he came into his own. Besides hitting 1908 Heathcote stole 26 bases, ranking third to Carey and Cuyler of Pitts burg, and was third among the reg ulars of his league as a fielder.

Trade Unionists are attempting to
foster a spirit of unity between farm
ers and members Of Organized Labor
by proposing to purchase farm pro-
ducts on a cooperative marketing
plan.
A plan of this sort, well devised,
vii! insure that many of the farmers
products which now go TO waste may
be marketed at a fair price.
The farmer has no satisfactory mar
ket for fruit and vegetables. Thous-
ands of bushels of apples are never
marketed owing 10 the difficulty of
gathering and shipping them at the
proper time. On the contrary they
are allowed to waste on the ground
and are not distributed to the advan-
tage of the consumer. For this rea-
son the price of such fruit is main
tanned at an extraordinarily high stand
ard, and the farmer gets practically
nothing for his labor. The only class
who profits is the wholesaler and com
mission merchant.
As a result of this marketing plan"
the farmer loses all his inspiration and
no longer wastes time spraying his
trees in the hope of bringing a market
able crop to maturity.
Labor in the Twin Cities would en-
dorse some such marketing plan for
fruit and vegetables as that which is
in operation on East North street in
Danville, where the buyer can see
what he is purchasing and where the
farmer finds a ready market for much
that would otherwise go to waste.

The American Federation Of Labor
began its forty-ffth annual convention
last Monday at Atlantic City with
more than 500 delegates in attendance,
representing forty-nine state fedora
tions, l07 national and international
Unions, $50 city central bodies, 1856
local department councils and 3,l25
local Unions. The delegates repre-
sent approximately 100000 members
who pay dues regularly. These figures
give the nation a startling comprehen-
sion of the power of Organized Labor
in America.
A great ovation was rendered Viii
liam Green who presided over the first
national convention held since the
death of the venerable Samuel Com
pers.
Following Samuel Gompers' death
the unfriendly press loudly predicted
the disintegration of Labor, express
ing the belief that the American Fed
Grafton of Labor had been built around
the personality of one man.
But less than a year has sufficed to
establish a better unity among the
various branches of Organized Labor
than ever existed during the life of
Samuel Gompers, thus proving that
Trade Unionism is built upon frmer
foundation than can be laid by one
great leader.
Labor has rallied about William
Green with a loyalty equal to that
ever given Samuel Gompers, and with
much greater power and unity than
has been characteristic of Labor in its
history.
Major and minor disputes are rapid
ly being settled under the wise guild
ance of the new leader and from all
indications the American Federation
of Labor is just beginning a new ere
which promises to be notable will

Cooperation should work both ways.
The farmers best friend Is the Trade
Unionist, but it is difficult to get him
to see the truth. He imagines that
the aim of Organized Labor is to or
ganize the farm hands and to imme-
diately shoot up the price of farm
labor to a prohibitive scale. That is
not Labor's aim.
The ultimate result of Union farm
labor would be a decided advantage
to the farmer, as it has been to every
other industry. In fact Unionism
would go far toward solving the farm
els acute labor trouble. Instead of
having to pick up "Tom, Dick and
Harry" who waste more than they
earn, he would have the satisfaction
of hiring help of a competent sort.
An organization of farm laborers UNI
der the American Federation of
Labor would result in a decided in
crease in skilled farm labor.
There is no possible way in which
the farmer can successfully compete
with other industries in commanding
the services of the better class of
laborers than to adopt the plan of
Organized Labor which other indus
tries have endorsed. Otherwise they

History of lobbying in state legis-
atures and the national Congress
proves that the American passion To
make money is back of all interference
of classes in government affairs. The
Brewer and distiler lobbying for more
liberal legislation aggravated the
church to get into politics. Capital
insisting upon laws granting the finan-
ciers of America the right to fleece
the people provoked Labor to enter
politics for its own protection. The
prevailing system of illicit distribution

L, TURNBULL's FIND"

Our good friend, Larry Turnbull
of Burton, is always JOY to meet
and when it is impossible to meet
him face to face he remembers us
with some little squib by post.
He sent us this last poem OF Burns
few days ago and as we had
never seen it before, we pass it on
to our readers, who will give Mr..
Turnbull all the credit for digging
ii up.
The last poem of Robert Burns,
written a few days before he died
to the girl who nursed him on his
death bed, has been found in
Waiko Maiti Otago, a remote set
tlement in New Zealand. Its ex-
istence had been unknown.
The poem is addressed to "Aliss
Jessie Lewars, who nurscd Burns
while his wife, Jenny, was i'll. She
was neighbor of the poet in DUN
fries, Scotland, and later married
man named Thomson, who ap-
parently carried the poem to New
Zealand. Thomson thought the
poem had been published, Burns
wrote:
How often in the dreary night
I clasp my burning hands
Upon those throbbing, sleepless
lids, DER eyes like glow
ing brands,
And wonder in my weary brain
