Philadelphia BARRIERS
Picketing All Shops

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 10
The journeymen BARRIERS who went
on strike here recently are today
picketing the hundreds of barber
shops in the city and holding meet
ings for the purpose of further or
ganization among the BARRIERS of the
city and vicinity.
The spirit of the strikers is re-
ported to be as strong as ever. The
unanimous decision is that no one
will return to work until the new
hour and wage scale is granted by
the bosses.

swamp. Other large areas will pro.
duce spruce and cedar and sometimes

of iron ore.
Minnesota lost 1 100000 acres desig.
mated on the plats as swamp, and
gave away without much benefit near
ly 100000 acres more-still what Is
left may run not far below the school
fund in ultimate values.
The swamp land grant to the state
and the grants to railroads from the
swamp lands by the state, are distinct
from the railroad land grants by con-
gress. That was a gift to the terri
tory of 100000 acres, in trust, to be
given to railroads which would build
Oh certain routes. Unhappily the
contracts were made just in time for
The companies to go under in the
panic of 1857. The lands were not
salable at any price and the venture
was total loss. Then the state
loaned the companies 100000 under
special constitutional provision and
that was also a total loss.
Finally the state redeemed its out
standing railroad bonds partly py
taxation and partly by the proceeds OF
100000 acres of internal Improvement
lands given by congress.
Outside of that experience with the
railroad land grants and the internal
improvement lands, Minnesota has

1.-TWO Minute Talks
Children are great imitators.
MISS AUBYN CHINN

Children are great imitators.
Children form their habits from
watching their elders and initiating
the things they do and say, and many
parents have the sad experience OF
finding that the child has initiated
something altogether too accurately
for comfort.
This is often true in regard to the
food habits of the child. How often
has child always liked his spinach
from infancy 20 two or three or more
years of age, when, on an unfortunate
day, a thoughtless careless visitor
came and remarked. Does Paul eat
spinach? l never liked spinach and
can't make Bobby eat it. I've tried
every way; or just mo spinach for
Bobby, thank YOU" From that day
on, the child who has always eaten
spinach without question may have d
new idea and refuse his portion. This
of course, is a sad situation, and must
be dealt with carefully.
Good for Mother, Good for Son..
The natural thing for child to do
is to initiate. If Mother and Father
ore very careful when the baby is old
enough to first come to the table, his
food habits may very easily be started
right. / do not believe in keeping the
young child away from the family
meal, but l do believe in teaching
him that such things are good for
older folks, and that he may have
them when he is grown up.
Little boy pie" of applesauce in a
ramekin with meringue frosting in
stead of crust is an easy substitute
for apple pie, or he may have lettuce
cut up with orange juice for dressing
instead of French dressing or Mayor
naise. Many times, however, it is not
necessary to even change the menu
that much for him. Simple meals are
good for big as we'll as little folks.
Little folks soon grow to be big folks,
and if the big folks have the right
food habits it will be easy for the
little folks to initiate them and make
them their own.
That "Bread And Butter Letter.
There is a nice custom which has
grown up through the years of writ
ing "a bread and butter letter" to
ones hostess after a pleasant visit.
Of course the usual hostess serves
pie and cake and lot of fancy things
for her company, but the name of the
letter of thanks is based on bread and
butter being, after all, the main
standby for the hungry visitor.
Thinking over the Importance of the
butter part in its contribution to our
good health and happiness, it almost
seems that humanity owes a bread
and butter letter" to, the COW; for
what is bread without it's spread of

questions of the Senate Invest
igating Committee is expected to have
far-reaching effect on the mania for
Investigations of Congress. StewaI

trict of Columbia supreme court. 1t
is expected that this court action will
have a tendency to put the senate

than an investigating body which has
marked its deliberations in recent
years.

V-Swamp Land Findings

Next to the school lands in volume
and perhaps even more productive to
future trust funds are the Minnesota
swamp land grants. By rights, il
should have come TO 100000 acres
as compared with 100000 acres in
the school lands, but lot of it got
away by one slip or another, and the
state gave away nearly 100000 acres
of it for railroads and other promo
tions. What is left is trust fund of
$1O,000,000 and much more in sight.
of which one-half the income goes to
the school fund and the remainder is
divided pro rata. among the state in
situations.
Swamp lands were given in the first
instance to the state of Missouri be-
cause something ought to be done
with them and the federal govern
ment was not supposed to have the
right to engage in public works OF
any sort. Therefore the states along
the Mississippi could have the swamp
and overlooked lands if they would
make them worth something. By the
time Minnesota. was admitted, swamp
lands were granted to the state as a
matter of course.
As Ramsey pointed out, these were
not overlooked lands to be protected
by extensive levees. Reclamation
could be left to the owners, and that
is how so much was given to rail-
road companies. And that is one rea-
son why there are TO swamp lands in
southern Minnesota. The grants to
railroads completely exhausted the
nearby swamp lands and had to reach
out into northern Minnesota in some
cases where the lands were more ex-
tensive and claims were less pressing.
At the outset the option was given
to the state TO accept the government
plats and field notes as conclusive or
to check the surveys for the state.
Ramsey advised the legislature to
take the government designation and
his recommendation was adopted.
Now in those days they used to
say a conscientious surveyor would
climb a tree and spot the swamp lands
in four townships. If he was less
conscientious he did not climb the
tree. And a good deal of swamp land
turned out 20 be high and dry when
the woods were cut off.
We got along pretty well under
that arrangement until a fearfully
honest and terribly suspicious COM
missioner of the general land office
arrived whose name was Andrew
Jackson Sparks. He stopped all deliv-
cries of patents under the swamp
land grants, declaring that every sur
vey made since 1880 was fraudulent
and was designed to turn these val
liable lands over to the state for the
benefit of pine land thieves and other
land sharks. 1t was years before a
decision was made returning to the
original rule and by that time the
lands which might have been swamp
were pretty we'll gathered in. So the
land grant finnaly stands at 4,711,000
acres.
But large part of the swamp lands
are underlaid by peat boys which
should be valuable in the future And
considerable areas are good agricul-
turdl lands-in southern Minnesota
some of the latest lands of all were

tial political observers say that the
Democratic platform will be as con-
sentative and in many ways as indef-
mite as that adopted by the Repub-

question of the personalities of the

butter, the appetizing tOp-Off?
You know there are things in food
that our bodies need called vitamins.
Whole grain bread made with yeast is
rich in vitamin B, while butter pos
sesses large quantity of vitamin A,
so you see why bread and butter are
such inseparable twins, one giving
the vitamin B and the other the nee
essarv vitamin A.
Butter for babies has been the sub
ject OF some rather interesting invest
ieations in recent years. Expert
ments with the use of butter for
young children has shown that sup
plying them with generous quantities
of ,itamin A, which butter contains
not only facilitates growth. but builds
up resistance to diseases of the throat
and respiratory tract, such as colds
pneumonia and grip.
The Arab flappers used the first
butter for cold cream. Today butter
is regarded as a beautifier, but we ap-
ply it on the inside rather than the
outside of our faces. Healthy skins
bright eyes and personality depend
upon healthy living. Butter is one Of
the best foods for the diet of health
and beauty, with leafy vegetables
whole grain cereals and fruits as ad-
diticnal beauty foods. The proper
growth and formation of our bones
and teeth depends upon vitamin A
which butter supplies so plentifully
In case you are not so interested
in what butter does for the babies
and the beauties of this world, you
will want to know why we say butter
for bread-winners." Butter is good
for the worker because it means
energy. Each pound of good butter
contains over 32O0Ncalories and gives
our bodies as much energy ~as four
dozen eggs or twenty pounds of string
beans or four pounds of spring lamb
Butter also contains vitamin A
Vitamin A, since fool authorities be-
lieve\ it particularly governs the
growth of the body, is needed in the
.
which his exercise and labor wears
down every day.
If you are interested, then, in feed
ing a healthy breadwinner, either as
breadwinner yourself or one who
plans menus for breadwinners, you
cannot afford to be without liberal
supply of butter not only on your
bread but on your vegetables, in soup
and other foods where butter is need
ed for good taste and nutrition.

CAR OWNERS
TO SAVE MILLION

More than a million dollars will
be saved 10y motor ear buyers in
this state each twelve months
through elimination of the feder-
al three percent excise tax on
new passenger automobiles, ae-
cording to the Automobile Club OF
Washington which was active agt.
in securing favorable attention of
the repeal movement.
The average saving per ear will
be about thirty dollars, and the
aggregate new ear sales probably
will be in excess of $4,000 the club
estimates.
Every manufacturer is pledged
TO return the saving to the pur-
chaser and these amounts will
vary according to the size and val
ue of the automobile.
The three percent tax was the
last Of the war assessments and
was levied only on new ears and
firearms, it having been repealed
from other articles which were
subject to the levy during the
world war. Because of this dis
elimination, the American Auto
mobile Association and its 1,04l
affiliated clubs, opened a cam
paign to have the assessment re-
moved.
The result is claimed by automo-
bile authorities to be one off or
