LONDON. May S.-Labor's Second
line Of defense" is beginning TO be
utilized in the great struggle be-
tween the trades unions and the gov
ernment The workers were not in
cluded in the general strike which
began at midnight last Monday.
The trades union congress has not
yet issued call to this second line,
and there is grave apprehension that
the leaders may officially call out
both the second and third lines Of de-
fcnSe. thus increasing the number Of
strikers 10 possibly six million.
The second and third ''lines of de-
fense" are composed Of electrical and
gas workers and those engaged in
other public utilities, numbering
from two TO three million men. Such
workers are cuStomarsly permitted by
the trade unions to remain at their
posts for the purpose of furnishing
tho absolute needs Of the nation.
Isles In Gloom

has settled over the British Isles as
the first week Of the general strike
drew TO a close. II is just one week
ago. May day. that the miners laid
down their tools and abandoned the
mine fields 10 the safety men," They
numbered more than a million, and
the other workers who joined them
increased the number of about three
million. Everywhere the question
j. being asked how long will the
funds OF the unions enable them to
feed the strikers and their families.
The Trades Union congress through

refused to receive four million rubIes

Red international federation. a check
for which was received ostensibly for
the purpose OF aiding the general
strike in Great Britain In return
ing the check, the council expressed
its inability to accept the money
The labor leaders again emphasized
that the present movement relates 20
industry alone and embraces no reyo-
lutionary ideas.
Settlement Prospect Dim
Prospects for any speedy settle
ment have grown slightcr from day
to day. Premier Baldwin refused to
discuss the differences. between The
miners and mine owners unless the
geeral strike is called off. and the
Trades union congress won't call the
strike off. Neither will it negotiate
until the mine owners withdraw their
lockout against the workers.
Robert McNeill, financial secretary
of the treasury, sets forth the situa-
tion from the governments side, in a
letter to the Canterbury conserva-
tive association. He describes Great
Britain as nearer to actual civil war
than it has been for centuries"
In his appeal to the public to real
izc the gravity Of the issue, he de-
clase:
Gall the revolutionary elements in
the country are doing their utmost
to exploit the istuation to their own
advantage. and every day the con-
flict lasts must increase the langcr
Of an outbreak OF violence, which
would have to be met by the en-
ployment of the armed forces of the
Crown.''

Americans Lead
as Apple Eaters
High Grade Fruit, Well
Sorted and Packed, De-
handed in Markets.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Although consumption Of apples In
the United States is less than the pro-
verbal "apple day." averaging about
three apples a week per capita, the
American people lead the world as
apple eaters, according to the Depart
ment Of Agriculture, which has been
making a comprehensive study of the
production and marketing Of apples
sold in barrels.
Estimates for the British isles aver
age about two apples week, and In
most countries Of continental Europe
the consumption Of apples is compar-
atively light.
The Big Producing States.
Three states-New York, Michigan
and Virginia-produce nearly one-half
the average commercial crop OF the
barrel region. Leading commercial
main-crop varieties Of the barreled-
apple region are Baldwin and Rhode
Island Greening In the North; York
Imperial and Winesap in the South,
and Ben Davis and Jonathan in the
West. Leading fall kinds are Olden-
burg, Wealthy and Mcintosh.
Geld storage, in most sections, has
largely superseded common storage
for long keeping Of market apples.
Sometimes over one-fourth of the
commercial apple crop is reported In
cold storage at the height of the sea-
son. Barreled apples comprise about
half the average stock in cold storage.
The leading markets for New York
state apples are Boston, Buffalo, Gin
cinnati, Cleveland, Indianapolis, New
ark, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and
Providence; Chicago and Detroit are
the chief markets for Michigan apples {;
Milwaukee, New Orleans, st. Louis
and st. Paul for Illinois apples; Kan
sas City, Memphis, Minneapolis and
Omaha for Missouri apples, and Bir-
mingham and Washington for Virginia
apples.
Apples Rank First.
OF the fruits exported from the
United States apples rank first in
point of value, with total exports as
fresh fruit for the year ending June
80, 1924, Of 100000 barrels and $685.
600 boxes, valued at over $23,OOO,O00
The United Kingdom purchases about
three-fourths of our surplus apples,
while the largest percentage of dried
apples goes to the Netherlands, Ger
many and Scandinavian countries.
The increasing proportion of high
grade fruit in the markets Is driving
out apples not well grown, well sort
ed and well packed. Only the product
of the well-managed commercial Or
chards In sections with some advan-
tages Of climate, soil and location
seems to have much chance to survive
intense competition.

Economical Use of High
Priced Farm Machinery

To use machinery economically it
must be used many days during the
year. If machinery is used to an ad-
vantage for large number of days
the less cost will be per acre Of crop
that it is used upon, the interest cost
per acre will be less, the depreciation
cost will be less. and the depreciation
charge per acre due to standing over
the winter will be less.
With the higher priced form of ma
chinery, such as the picker-husker,
tractors and the thresher, these items
must be given very good attention. It
Is sometimes more profitable to rent
or hire machinery that is to be used
only few days each year. 1t is false
economy to purchase expensive ma
chinery If the size Of the farm and
the extent Of the work to be done does
not warrant the investment.

When all of the wheat is in all Of
the bread, all of the world will be
better fed.
Waste oil from the tractor, car, or
truck engine crank case works fine In
your hog oiler.
The men who get the lower costs of
production are usually the better men.
That's why they get the lower costs.

1t costs just as much to raise a 40
bushel crop as one that yields 80
bushels so why not plant your farm to
adapted varieties?
Putting the heifer in with the milk

q month or six weeks before freshen-
ing, will pay well in greater ease in
milking and caring for her when she
does freshen.
Neither corn silage nor alfalfa hay
Is in itself complete ration for a
dairy cow, but when the two feeds
are combined they form a most sat
iSfactory ration and provide all the
essentials OF good ration.

Cutting to Obtain Big
Yield of Alfalfa Hay

Maximum development of leaves of
the alfalfa plant is obtained when the
crop Is about one-tenth in bloom. The
leaves on the lower part of the stem
fall as soon as the top growth of the
plant shades them. With the maxi
mum number of leaves goes the high
est feeding value because alfalfa
leaves contain about twice as much
protein as do the stems. Because this
season is backward, however, there is
danger in cutting too early.
The safe way to get the largest
yield Of alfalfa with the greatest feed
ing value per pound is to cut in early
bloom. Eight years Of experimenting
at Ohio university have shown that al
falfa cut just before bloom will aver
age 40 per cent leaves. while that cut
when 1t has reached the seed stage
will average 3S per cent leaves. The
remaining 81 per cent at seed stage is
stems low in protein.

Winter Field Peas
Grown With Profit
Valued as Cover and Green
Manure Crop.

Winter field peas can be grown with
profit in certain sections of the coun-
try, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, which has con-
Quoted extensive tests in an effort to
find winter-hardy varieties Of these
peas.
Experiments with the Gray Winter
and Austrian Winter varieties of the
crop indicate a possible field of USE
and gulf coastal plains and on the
Pacific slope, according to Department
Circular No. 374-C,' "Winter Field
Peas: Their Value as Winter Cover
and Green-Manure Crop"
Gray Winter and Austrian Winter
peas when seeded in the fall have
proved superior in hardness to all
other varieties. In orchards, cotton
fields, or following tobacco where
liberal quantities of fertilizers are ap-
piled in growing these crops, very lit
tie fertilizer is applied directly to the
peas. Where the preceding crop has
not been fertilized, light applica-
tion of avid phosphate or low-grade
complete fertilizer is beneficial. For
hay, cover-crop, and green-manure pur-
poses the seedlings should be made as
early after September Is as weather
and soil conditions will permit.
Although the accumulated data re-
garding wiRter peas are as yet un-
satisfactory in many ways, results OBJ
tanned In experiments, particularly
those at Washington, d. c.; Corvallis,
Ore, and Triton, Ga, are very prom

corning the experiments with winter
peas carried on In several states, may

Good Care of Cream

Good cream is clean cream, cooled.
Place the freshly skinned cream In
the cooling tank, Immediately see that
the tank is filed with fresh cold wa
ter, Do not mix cooled cream with
fresh warm cream. Stir the cream
several times a day to prevent 1t
from sticking to the sides of the can.
Stirring the cream not only facilitates
the cooling. but tends to improve the
quality to a considerable extent.

MORTUARY LIST FOR 1925


Following is list of deaths and
births in 1925, furnished by Registrar
J. T. Sheridan for McConnelsville,
Morgan township, Meigsyille, Bristol
and East Bloom, and for Malta, Malta
township and Penn township by Reg
istrar S. B. Sheridan. In j. T. Sheri-
dams district the death list is the
heaviest ever reported, there being a
total of 95, or 20 more than last year.
His death list also considerably ex-
ceeded his birth list, discouraging
feature being the fact that for sew
eral years past the birth list has
shown constant decline in numbers
in this district. In the Malta Penn dis
trict there were not so many deaths
reported as last year, the births ex-
ceeding the number of deaths, and
having remained practically station
ary. We wish the registrars of Union,
Homer, West Bloom, Deerfield, York
and Center would send in their vital
statistics for 1925.

Does Your Back Ache?
Bad Backs Bring Suffering to Many
McConnelsviIle Folks

Is that dull and constant backache
making you old and miserable? Does
your back throb and ache until II
seems you just can't keep going? DO
you suffer headaches, dizzy spells
and urinary disorders; feel weak,
tired and worn-out? Then look to
your kidneys. Delay may mean SER
ious kidney sickness. Use Doan's
Pills--a stimulant diuretic to the
kidneys. Doan's are recommended
( by McConnelsyille folks.
Mrs Lucy Cunningham, Liberty
! St, McConnelsville, says: my back
ached and when l got up. it was so
lame, l could hardly move. Dull
pains across my back ran me down
and sweeping and busting were hard
on me. l tired easily and often
dizzy spells came over me when
dark spots danced before my eyes,
t blurring my sight. My kidneys were
weak and active After using Doan's
Pills, which | got at Sears phaT-
macy, / was relieved"
Mrs. Cunningham is only one of
many McConnelsville people who
have gratefully endorsed Doan's
Pills. If your back aches-if your
kidneys bother you, don't simply ask
