The following article from tn
Browerville Blade tells why Saul

village. It speaks well of the loca
players and that is why we ar

Sank Centre defeating the local
team by a score of to o. Sank
Centre boys playing wonderful
ball, such that if they played
that way all season they would
have carried off the pennant
easily against all teams of the
league. Soltau, the visiting
pitcher, was easily the best
pitcher seen on the Browerville
diamond this year, and last
Sunday the local boys were en-

physically fit to enter SCHOOL," is
the question Mrs. Fish would have
parents give careful attention to.
1.-THE cutting of the 6-year molars
and the first day Of school mark an
important period in the life of a
little child" she says. MANY new
adjustments must be made as the
child first steps out in the world
ON his own He will have a very
much better chance if not hamp-
cred by physical defects.
1.-THE only way to be sure of a
child's health is to have thorough
physical examination by a compe-
tent physician, which should in
clude an eye and ear examination.
Many children do not get along in
school because of defects Of eye
sight and hearing. It is not wise to
wait until school is started to have
the beginners examined. Start
them to school as physically fit as
possible. These measures are more
important than books or clothes.
A pre-school clinic greatly re-
duces the expense of examination,
but if there are no clinics near, the
responsibility for securing health
check-ups rests with individual
families. However, by creating in
terest and cooperation in the COM
munity a clinic can be planned
for another year."
There is no advantage in clipping
alfalfa or closer in Minnesota,
thinks Ralph F. Grim, extension
farm crops specialist, University
Farm. To farmers who raised this
question during the recent drought
Mr.. Grim replied he thought clip
ping would do the plants more
harm than good.
eff after rains have come on and
there seems to be enough hay to
justify cutting, it would probably
be well to cut off the present crop
so that the new crop will have
plenty of time to come on" he add
ed.
Farmers should be very careful
about cutting alfalfa later than the
tenth or fifteenth of September, as
later cutting does not permit the
alfalfa to gain sufficient growth to
go into winter"

New fields to conquer may be

waves and arctic ice, but the state
of Missouri still graciously offers

This encouraging news for the

announcement that Missouri's con-
servation department will soon
open to the public seven more
miles of explored tunnels and
caverns in Fishers Cave, Meramec
Park. Existence of the new cav
ems remained unsupported until
few months ago when, Leonard
Dill, amateur explorer of Sullivan,
dived beneath water-covered
ledge far back in the old cave to
learn what lay beyond. He found a
narrow passage leading under wa
ter into other caverns.

for company this season, but Wis

under the ledge. A portion of the
wall is being removed. Missouri.

Air Hose Suggested For Tanning
. ,,c Fishes

Literally waiting a breeze into
the underwater homes of fishes is
the method suggested to the
American Game Association by
John w. Hershey of Downingtown,
Pa, for saving fish in lowering
lakes that are losing their supply
of oxygen. Oxygen and fine
streams of compressed air furnish
this breathing element in the "fish
Pullmans" operated by the United
States Bureau of Fisheries. Now
Mr.. Hershey, an angler, believes
that by pumping high-pressure air
into low water through a nozzle
which would break up the air into
fine bubbles, fish rescue squads
now operating in a number of
states could save the fish without
the need of removing them to
other waters.

Quest For Luck Is Off on Wrong
Foot

Rabbits feet have not lost their
significance as good luck emblems,

Game Association. One commercial
of Michigan, which dur
ing the winter disposes of around
10000 rabbits every week, sells
exactly twice that number of feet

THE METAL WORKERS
INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE
BY ANDREW OVERGAARD

rrHE steel corporations in the Mahoning Valley
are preparing sweeping wage cuts in all mills
in January and February according to the an
nouncements in the capitalist press of Youngs-
town. This cut is announced Immediately after
an agreement was reached by the Western Sheet
Manufacturers Association and the takers of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron. Steel and Tin
workers led by Mike Tighe and Co. for reduc-
ton of tonnage rates.
While the steel corporations made millions of
profits and while the government refunds mil
lions of dollars in tax the workers are presented
with another wage cut.
Steel workers who are only working two or
three days week receive another slap in thf
face by the bosses in the steel industry. Steel
workers in Youngstown, Warren Niles, New
Castle and other centers are up in arms agains,
this attempt to further reduce their standard
OF living.
While the millionaire owners of the steel in
dlstry build steam heated castles for their pc
Digs, workers see their children go hungry to
school and watch their babies die for lack Of
milk. While these parasites enjoy themselves in

and day suffering pangs of hunger. While ware
houses are full of food these workers are looking
for garbage cans to satisfy their hunger
The steel workers will not accept this wage
cut in spite of agreements, signed by Mike Tighe
and Co.. but are preparing to struggle.
The Metal Workers League is issuing $4,000
leaflets calling upon the workers to organize and
struggle against the wage cuts and on the basis
of unity of all workers. of members of our or
ganization, of rank mad file members of the
Amalgamated Association of Tin, Steel and Iron
Workers, of Negro and white workers, prepare for
the struggle.
Meetings of department groups, shop groups,
and language groups will be called for this week
to acquaint all the workers with our program of
struggle. More organizers are being sent into
Youngstown to give maximum support for the
coming fight.
The Metal Workers League in its National
Committee meeting correctly analysed the i'm
pending struggle and predicted sweeping wage
cuts IN the entire industry.
The League is appealing to all steel workers,
automobile workers, metal workers in general and
to all working class organizations to Immediately
come to our assistance with the necessary funds
to organize this struggle.
Send all funds to the National Office, Gil
Penn Ave-, room 518 Pittsburgh, Pa. Help smash
the wage cuts in the steel industry Forward to
a new powerful industrial union.

Doughnut Holes

1t may be a chestnut to some folks, but we
heard story once about fellow visiting an In
sane asylum, and when passing by the cell OF
a particularly violent inmate, inquired OF the
keeper how the poor man got that way.
well" said the keeper. "This fellow was a
baker, and tried to invent doughnut with a
larger hole. so as to cheaper production. But he
found that the larger the hole, the more dough
was needed to go round it, and the impossibility
of making the hole larger without using cor
respondingly larger amount of dough, caused the
poor man to lose his mind"
We arc reminded of the above, when reading
an editorial in San Francisco capitalist paper
about Doughnut Holes which, in turn is a COM
ment about the interest shown in said holes by
several leading newspapers in the East"
1t seems that after Woodrow Wilson'S reported
habit of playing with his toes. trying to count
up Fourteen Points on ten digts; and Cal Cool
idges pastime of riding a hobby-horse IN the
White House, we can't expect too much OF the
upper class.
But with current events being what they are,
It does appear that capitalist editors are plump
dippy to devote space to argument about holes
in doughnuts But then there may be another
reason besides the presence of Professor Einstein.
1t may be, and very likely is, fact that
capitalist editors finding it dangerous to talk
about naything more important than doughnut
holes. The least said about capitalism, these
days, the better for the capitalists.
