The Building Trades Council started
the new year with an enthusiastic IN
stallation of the officers elect for the
year 1925.
This is one of the fundamental inner
organizations of the Twin City Fed
Grafton of Labor, which has accom-
plished as much if not more than any
other inter-organization of the Labor
crafts in this section of the state.
Through the successful achievements
of the Building Trades Council the
crafts associated in the Council are
enjoying q degree of prosperity III
wages and working conditions unparal
leled in the state, SO far as The Re-
view is aware.
A number of the old officers who
have led the Council to victory in the
past are re-installed for the year 1923.
Owing to the general public attitude,
which is growing more and more favor
able to Organized Labor, the Council
anticipates no trouble in mas aiming
high standard of Labor 2 sions.
The following officers " Installed:
President-John p. Whe n.
Vice President-C. p. Rooney.
Financial Secretary and Treasurer
G.. n. Howell.
Recording Secretary and Business
Agent. w. Dunn.
Trustees--Max Hendrix, o. L. Brown
and Herman StantZ.
The year is too young to ascertain
inst what the buildinp prospects are
for the spring and summer months.
The large building program of the
past two years cannot be paralleled
again soon, but there will be large
amount of building and construction
work and paving, opening early in the
season, with a good prospect for more.
There has been much talk recently OF
new city hall. But no plans have yet
been announced by the city commits

Mr.. Kiser was apparently in his
usual good health prior to the stroke,
and his death came as a surprise to
his many friends and acquaintance
in the Typographical Union.
Since the reorganization of the
News-Gazette a few years ago, Mr..
Kiser had been managing editor
working almost continuously in his
office or attending various public
functions as a press representative.
He was as widely known as any
editor in Illinois.
Typo Union Member
Mr.. Kiser had been a member OF
the Twin City Typographical Union
in good standing for many years. In
1912 he served as treasurer of the
Twin City Federation of Labor when
A. E. Strobe. Twin City labor
leader, served as president. Mr..
Kiser succeeded Strobe as president
of the Federation in 1913, serving IN
this capacity for over a year.
In 1916 he represented the local
union as a delegate to the National
Federation of Labor which convened
in that year at Baltimore.
During the convention he made the
acquaintance of the late Samuel Com
pers and during the remainded of his
life was a great admirer of the
famous leader. j.
In company with a delegation OF
labor representatives he left the cons
vention in that year to visit the late
President Wilson.
As the delegation formed to shake
hands with the president, Mr.. kisef
moved from the front of the line to
tbe rear in order to be the last to
shake hands with the president. The

THE BOIL WEEvIL
is NOW MIGRATING
ONE OR TWO APPLICATIONS
OF DUST MAY BE NEEDED,
COUNTY AGENT SAYS.

"The migratory period of the boil
weevil has arrived" says County
Agent A. E. Gibson, "and the weevil
is now flying in every direction. This
means that every field will be about
equally infested from now on. 1t is
not probable that the number of Wee
wills migrating will be as heavy as in
1922 or 1928 There are some fields
where the cotton is developed to the
extent that it will not be necessary
to poison because the main crop OF
bols are speckled and hardened. If
any farmer has field planted late or
one that has been slow to mature it
will be we'll to make careful inves-
tigation. If the main crop of bolls is
still green and tender it would be
wise to make an infestation count. II
as many as eight forms out of hun
bred have been stung it will pay to
make one or two applications OF dust.
Fortunately many of our fields have
matured sufficiently that further dust
ing will not be necessary"
