Long strings of imitation jade

necklaces are worn either twisted

WHY THE SOY BEAN
is BECOMING POPULAR

1.-The soy-bean crop is already
coming into Corn Belt agriculture
at a rapid rate" observes w. j..
Spillman of the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics in a recent publi-
cation by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. students of
farming in this region foresaw this
result many years ago. In the
southern half of the Corn Belt,
farmers have long felt the need of
some spring crop to grow between
corn and wheat. 1t is not satisfac-
tory to SOW wheat after corn unless
the corn is cut and shocked, and it
is not practical to utilize the corn
fodder from so large an area as is
grown here. Oats have hitherto
been used for this place in the ro-
tatiOn. But in this section oats
are an uncertain crop, and the
yield averages low. Soy beans ap-
pear to be the ideal crop to substi-
tute for oats to follow corn and pre-
cede wheat. They leave the land
in excellent condition for wheat
without plowing unless it is very
weedy, and even this difficulty can
be overcome by planting the beans
in rows and cultivating them a few
times. 1t is well to remember, how
ever, that the necessity of cultivat-
ing the soy beans would reduce the
acreage of corn a given working
force could manage. The crop is
legume, and leaves considerable

crop that follows. Soy beans after
corn and preceding wheat also as
sist in controlling scab which is
due to a fungus affecting both corn
and wheat.
Farther north, where oats are
logical crop, soy beans are being
sown very generally in corn; in
fact, they are often planted with the
corn. When this is done rape may
be sown between the rows at the
last cultivation of the corn and
beans. This practice is particularly
on farms where corn
is hOgged off. In fact, soy beans
may be planted with corn through
out the Corn Belt to excellent ad- !
vantage. The crop thus has two
places which it may Oc-
cupy in Corn Belt rotations. 1t

substitute for alfalfa or clover in
the winter feeding of brood sows
and other hogs. Not only that, but

SPEEDY EDUCATION

Educators, scientists and thought
full observers in general are begin
ming to question the modern mania
for speed in our school work. They
admit that the teachers have speed
ed things up and that they have
proudly proved it by complicated
f systems of mental tests, but they
seriously doubt the fundamental de-
STABILITY of it.
] 1t is a speedy age. Autos, air
planes and motor boats are con-
stantly hanging up new speed rec
ords for an admiring world. But it is
quite possible that too much speed
may be acquired in some lines.

against what he calls "stop watch
education" He finds that the mania
for speed impairs the child's person.
ality, that it lowers accuracy and
that it makes both teacher and pu-

hazards"
At the Washington Congress of
Physicians and Surgeons there was
voiced strong condemnation of the
practice of teaching children to read
by the word method-to have them
recognize the word by it's image in
stead of starting with the alphabet
and learning to spell. BY this meth
cd children learn to read more rap
idly, it was admitted, but they are
stumped with new words, and they
usually become poor spoilers. The

Conditions under which the UNI

PEELED to work are growing from
bad to worse.
Wages are getting lower while

In spite of the fact that we are
shaving more than ten hours day,

take work home and work nights in
stead of having rest after hard
days work.
Because we are driven all day in

we are faced with a long period of
unemployment. Only when the UNI

BE RAYAL BY
HILLMAN GANG
AIDS OPEN SHOP
Force Sweat Shop on
Knee Pants Workers

Following their latest act of be-
trayal, which was the forcing of the
sweat shop system of piece-work on
the cmbership of the vest and
pancs makers branches of the union,
the Beckerman and Hillman machine
of the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers Union, decisively continue to
take further steps which demoralize
the industry and make working in it
unbearable.
Calling on workers in the knee
pants makers section Of the union
to mobilize themselves for a strug-
gle against their betrayers, the
Trade Union Educational League is
sued a statement which gives a few
facts to prove that the Beckerman
machine was demoralizing the in
dustry.
The statement says:
"The recent developments in the
union, the decision of the Becker
man machine to introduce piece
work, the reduction of wages, the
breaking up of shops, the support
given to shops which are trying to
establish themselves out of town,
like "Sun-Star," Ralph and Cal
kins," "Brillinat," and many others,
the refusal to fight for the most
elementary union conditions and
union control in the trade-is a re-
suit of the policies of the general
office of the Beckerman graft ma
chine to help the bosses at the ex-
pense of the workers.
"The dirty work in the Kneepants
Makers Union was done by the
former scab-contractor and the pres
ent manager.
"The settlement in the single
kneepants establishes and legalizes
sweat-shop conditions. For instance
in the shop of Kramer Brothers, 1874
Spring Street, the bosses were
asked by the union officials to make
reduction in the wages of his
workers, when the bosses will recog-
nize the union, he shall give the re-
duction back to the workers, so to
blind the workers, that they should
think they got raise in wages, and
induce the membership Of the union
to continue to pay their dues with
satisfaction. But the boss reduced
the wages with the intention of liv-
ing up to the understanding. Oul
manager and his helpers are over
looking the entire matter and only
help the bosses to make new reduc
tons"
