a laboratory investigator with a

in a biography" published today
by Doubleday Doran.
Hitherto unpublished details of
her disappearance into the desert

Remembering the cardiff giant

Volume increased on the advance

times the 100000 shares of yeSter-

gains from the lows OF October 5

new FORM OF
UNI0NISM HAS
HOLD IN BUTTE

BUTTE, Mont. Oct 20. UP
Once known as the Gibralter OF
Labor because of the devotion of
its citizens to the principles of
unionism, Butte now is cradling a
new sort of "unionism,' which its
critics describe as a racket.
Unions now appear as a weapon
of entrenched privilege among the
workers themselves.
If history repeats itself it is not
to be wondered that Butte should
be the birthplace of the new "un-
ionism". For Butte was the birth
place OF the first metal miners un-
ion, and for years was the back
bone of the powerful Western Fed
Grafton of Miners.
Now the effort is to keep men and
women out of the unions. Those
in the unions apparently do not
care what becomes of the work
ing class so long as they them
selves have jobs.
The Butte unions Of today recog-
nize no mans right to job unless
he first is a member of a Butte
union-and he can't Joint the un-
ion unless he has the price. And
in some cases not even then. Pro
hibitive initiation fees, often reach
ing $3.50 virtually constitute n
closed charter.
This situation has been much be-
fore the public of recent years.
Only last summer it was involved
in a prolonged political fight in the
schools after the school board
charged the mattresses union had
abrogated its contract by refusing
membership to deserving widows
which the board wanted to hire

q vIOLATORS WERE
TAKEN IN TWO DAYS

A number of Faribault county folks
have been suddenly called out of
town lately, evidently fearing visit
from the sheriff, w. H. Keigley. That
arm of the law, according to the
Wells Mirror, recently made it rather
warm for liquor violators in that
county, filling up the Jail with twen-
ty-one, all arrested in two days, with
the assistance of federal officers.
At present, the sheriff is waiting
only until the court disposes of these
cases before he goes out to fill the Jail
again. If he keeps on as he has been
doing, he will need an addition in the
lookup and furthermore will lose
popularity with some classes and gain
in others.
The charge in all the cases is the
same-"selling one pint of intoxicat-
ing liquor" and the evidence on which
arrests were made was supplied by
the federal officers. Although the
charge is Zone pint" in some cases
the feds got as much as gallon. The
men were all taken from large ter
ritory in that county, covering the
cities of Wells, Bricelyn, Blue Earth,
Elmore, Delavan, Easton and Mime
sofa Lake.

GAME PLENTIFUL IN
SPITE OF DROUTH

More than 10000 hunters found
wild game more plentiful in Mime
sofa than in previous years, in spite
of the drouth and dried up lakes and
streams, according to reports from
the Game and Fish department..
The killing of all classes of ducks
was increased by almost a million,
100000 more pheasants were report
ed shot than in 1928, and correspond
ing increases were noted in all other
types of animals listed.
Reports to the Fish and Game de-
partment list 10 different varieties of
ducks hunted last year and the total
killing reported is placed by the de-
partment at 2,362,639. In 1929 L.
417,OOO ducks of all kinds were TAX
en-. Mallard, Bluebill, Coots, Blue
winged Teal were the varieties most
frequently reported. A change in the
federal hunting regulations will open
the duck season in Minnesota on
October 1 this year instead of Sept
ember Is as heretofore.

GARDENS GIVE WORK
AND FOOD TO JOBLESS

Jobs for thousands of unemployed,
as well as food for thousands unable
to buy it, can be provided through
out the season by the cultivation of
home gardens and by the improve
ment of home grounds and those of
public and semi-public institutions,
says President Hoover's emergency
committee for employment. "For pur-
poses of employment" the commit
tee points out, "non-profit making
gardens and parks, public or private
compete with no existing industry,
and do not aggravate the situation
by adding to existing over-supply
and over capacity.
"For food purposes, the garden
problem is different, in that there is
no shortage of food as during the
World War. In fact, there is an an
nual surplus. Nevertheless, many
American families are not in a posi-
ton to share in that surplus. Lack
ing employment to provide earning
power, they must be fed either by
charity or through home gardens"
While community and group action
is urged on this problem, the commit
tee also suggests that a great deal
can be done by individuals. "Any-
one willing and financially able to
furnish work should ask himself:
What can I do to help the unemploy-
ment situation by improving my
grounds or garden?' There are doz-
ems of useful jobs that are habitually
overlooked or postponed from season
to season." says the committee. "Con
centrating a substantial part of this
deferred maintenance, repair and i'm
provement within the period of de-
preston is the principal way in which
the employment detectives can be
met by garden work."

All CLUB NOTES
By 80" Seymour, County
Club Agent

What are the All bakers promot-
ing? Health. Bread is one of the
largest items in our diet, and the
most wholesome food.
Bread-making is easy, no matter
how young or inexperienced you may
be. The secrets are few and it is
easy to follow a standard recipe.
All bakers make nine bakings of
bread-three of these are dark bread
and rolls. It's good home made
bread that has flavor of its own,
Variety is said to be the spice of
life. There are greater opportuni-
ties for varying the kinds of bread
from day to day if baking is done at
home as All girls do.
Throughout Redwood county there
are girls that produce 100 per cent
loaves of bread, making them for
family needs. Bread making is a
source of delight for many girls.
There is a real joy in shaping well
risen dough into smooth white loaves
of bread, and in watching these grow
to the desired degree of ightness,
and seeing them baked into golden
brown loaves of delicious bread
"It's thrill of pride and satisfac-
ton" one Of the All club girls said.
All girls should begin now to make
1881 big record year in the bread
project.
We use this motto, "Bake More
Home Made Bread"
