School Notes


The children have been enjoy.
ing our nice weather. When the
snow first began to melt, they
made snow men, dogs, sheep and
many other things. Now shat
most of the snow and water has
left our school yard so they are
playing baseball. They are begin
ming to practice for spring. We
hope that this weather will con
tinue SO that we can keep up our
practice. We know now that you
don't have to go to California to
practice baseball in January.
The first grade have been MAX
ing cut-outs for the story of the
three bears.
w have taken down all Of our
January posters and have put up
a number of February posters. We
have some Washington, Lincoln
and Valentine posters up now.
We plan on making a post office
for our valentine box.
The third grade made some rag
doll corn testers this week for
geography.
The third and fourth grade hy-
giene class illustrated the value
of milk by making cardboard pig
pens and pigs from clay. The pigs
that had milk were fat and the
pigs that didn't have milk were
so thin they could hardly stand
up.
The fourth grade have complet-
ed the study of Montana and now
the studying the western states.
A number of the children are
coming to school in trucks now.
We are going to get our horse
shoe pegs up today so we can be-
gin practice.
The eighth grade have been
working on the Fad contest. The
contest was to see how many

METHODS OF AVOIDING
GOITER In FARM STOCK

Goiter. especially in pigs. re-
uires constant vigilance to pre-
vent losses as it may occur one
spring and not appear again the
2 .xt year, says D E. Richards, ex-
ension livestock specialist at the
Wcrtana State college. The only
WY to be safe is TO feed iodine
in the form of iodized salt every
winter.
Because of the unwillingness ef
some sows to eat salt. the special
list suggests that potassium iod'de
be mixed with the grain ration be-
fore narrowing time. Sows which
receive such a ration will not give
birth to hairless pigs, a common
indication of goiter.
The dose recommended for sows
during the winter months is two
grains of potassium iodide once
each week. To make measuring
convenient. Mr.. Richards suggests
that the potassium iodide be pur-
chased in two-grain tablets. Dis
solve the tablets in water and mix
with the grain.
Iodized salt for ewes and cows
can be mixed conveniently on the
ranch with little effort. One ounce
of potassium iodide mixed with
800 pounds of salt is the proper
proportion. A little charcoal. mix
ed with the potassium iodide to
give it color, simplifies the mix
ing. Two men with shovels can
mix about a ton of iodized salt in
an hour. or enogh for approximate
ly 1000 head of ewes.

sacrifice which admitted of no
compensation. He maintained this
tone whenever he alluded to the
subject, in replying to numerous
letters urging him to accept. But,
although he declined to announce
any decision, he had resigned him
self to the inevitible.
Washington made it clear that
he was not pursuing the office,
and would only leave his farm to
take it from a sense of duty. The
electoral college gave him a unan-
imous vote on February 4, 1898.
Neither the animosity of parties,
nor the large number of enemies
of the new government in some
of the states, could deprive him of
a single vote.
The reluctance with which Cen
eral Washington assumed his new
position and that genuine mod
esty which was a distinguished
feature of his character, are furth-
er illustrated by the following ex-
tract from a letter to General
Henry Knox: 81 feel for those
members of the new Congress who

Washington did not think himself
at liberty to decline an appoint

FOREIGN WHEAT

50 a bushel for German-grown
wheat and France considering leg

the Associated Press said the next

50 a bushel.'
while 50 a bushel for German

said, while one would not ex-

American farmer should be paid
fair price. We have considered
that the American standard of liv-

STRIKERS CRIPPLE
NON-UNION MILLS
in PHILADELPHIA
Hosiery Workers Walk Out
in Protest Against Wage
Cuts and Ask Unions
Help in Organizing.

Philadelphia (ILNS) = Another
group of non-union workers went on
strike here when 200 men and girls
at the Paterson Mutual full fashion
ed hosiery mill quit in body and
flocked to the local headquarters of
the American Federation of Full
Fashioned Hosiery Workers.
The Paterson Mutual concern has
two plants, one of which is in Pater-
son, N. j., and which is shut down
tight as result of a strike there
about year ago. When the Jersey
| workers went out the Philadelphia
group would not hear of quitting.
Since that time the force in Philadel-
phia have been handed three or four
wage cuts until now their earnings
are so per cent less than they were
six months ago. The cut that caused
the walkout was for 20 per cent which
brings piece rates below the union
scale from 10 to 40 per cent. Com
pletely fed up, the whole shop just
walked out.
Workers in the Lucille Knitting
Mills, American and Bristol streets,
stubbornly non-union for years, final
ly came out on strike when the firm
paid the men off in hosiery instead
of in cash. Some knitters were fore
ed to take as many as 60 dozen pair
of stockings and peddle these where
they could in lieu of the wages sup
posed to be coming to them.
The plant, though paying wages
lower than the union scale, has not
been able to accord steady work and
some of the machines in the shop are
shut down. Picket lines have been
organized and union officials have
consented to assist in the conduct of
the situation.
The Franklin mill employing about
$50 workers, another former nom
union shop, joined the ranks of the
striking workers in Philadelphia few
days ago. The Franklin workers ac-
cepted reduction in wages early in
the winter on the grounds that
steader work would result. Finding
that wage cuts didn't bring in any
more work, the men began to organ
ize. The firm, discovering this, laid
off the whole force and when reopen
ing after the New Year made efforts
to call back only non-union people.
After several days spent in fruitless
negotiations with the firm, the work
ers, finding they were solidly for a
union shop, called a strike. The knit
ting department of the mill is COM
pletely closed.
Strikes continue at the Thomas E.
Buck mill, the Schletter Zander
and Master mills.

CLOSING OF PULP MILL
DEPRIVES 200 OF JOBS

Fairville, N. B. (ILNS)-By the
action of the Nashwaak Pulp and
Paper Company, subsidiary of the
Oxford Paper Company, of New York
city, in shutting down pulp mill,
at Fairville, about 200 men have been
thrown out of work. The mill had
been in operation for over 80 years.
About ten years ago, there was a
three months strike at this mill, by
the pulp and paper mill workers
union local, in an effort to get higher
wages. The men were defeated. The
old mill is to be closed permanently.

CUT WAGES
In Reading Hosiery Mills By
Filming Workers

Reading, Pa. (ILNS)-The terrible
depression in the full fashioned hos
iery industry has hit the mills in
Reading bit later than it has hit
the unionized markets, but today the
plants here are about as badly off as
those whose wage scales are much
higher and hours much shorter. The
contention of the Hosiery Workers
Union that control of production and
not wage cutting is what the indus
try needs is being proven now by the
experience of the two dozen shops
here, all of which are affected by
the lack of orders for full fashioned
hosiery.
During this dull period the manu-
facturers are making cuts which they
intended to make before the sensa-
tional walkout took place here in De-
cember In most cases the cuts are
not put over directly, but by some
elaborate fining system. In one mill
a girl earned 20 cents for certain
bundle of work and was fined 40 for
some imperfection discovered by the
forelady. In another mill the knitters
are locked more for bad work than
they are paid for making perfect
dozens. Alfred Hoffman, organizer
for the American Federation of Full
Fashioned Hosiery Workers, now in
charge of the Reading organizing
campaign, reports that there are
signs the workers are beginning to
get some of these facts through their
heads little by little.
