HOUSEWIVES TO SEE NEW
 COOK STOVE
Sears, Roebuck & Co To Sponsor School
 Saturday

A new kind of cooking school at which the relatively new technique Of the pressure cooker will be ex- plained and demonstrated will be held every day this week at the Sears Roebusk & Co retail store. 65 Grand street, at 10 a. n., 2 ?. m., and D. m. Saturday.
 The talks and demonstrations will be given by John Fiske, dieti- ton and specialist in home econom- ics. Cooking will be done before each audience and each detail of the process minutely explained after which the food will be served to the audience. There will also be a question and answer period, at which time any points about the cooker not made clear will be ex- plained. Waterbury women are cordially invited to attend.
 This method of cooking has been indorsed by colleges. universities, doctors and dietetic clinics; it was recommended by the U. s. depart ment of agriculture as the only safe method for cold pack canning.
 Saves Time, Fuel
 Not only may vegetables and meats be cooked deliciously in their own juices in pressure cookers, but q. considerable saving in time and fuel may be effected through their use," said MT Fiske. "Health- giving minerals such as lime, iron, potash and others are preserved in prcs- sure cooked foods.
 'In addition, almost whole meal may be cooked in pressure cooker with an absolute minimum of trouble. Everything from poul- try to meat roasts--from vegeta- escaping into the kitchen. Sauer- kraut may be cooked with a rice pudding and the pudding won't pick up the kraut's odor. Pres- sure cooking is one of the impor- tant contributions of the age to the science of food preparation."

 The International Labor bureau International Labor conference. has sent out q questionnaire ask ing for all laws and informations on the subject.
 In addition the labor bureau has begun the drawing up of a draft project for such a convention to be submitted to the conference.

 over 50 existing compulsory in. surance laws have been carefully examined as . basis of the draft.
 Ore of the principles. which 1t has found in all. these existing laws is that Insurance should be compulsory for wage-earners and this will bs incorporated into the draft.
 In Investigating the present status of compulsory old age. insurance, the labor bureau has found that the first steps in thls direction were taken by Germany in 1889.
 First Scheme
 For 0 long time 1t remained the only scheme of the kind in exist. ence, but in 1906 the former Aus, trian empire also established a pen. sion insurance scheme for non. manual workers.
 France in 1910 instituted pen. slons for workers and peasants but this was never fully applied.
 The same period saw sickness and inyalidity insurance launched in England; 0ld,age and invalidity insurance in Lpxembprg, Rumanla. and Sweden,

make the day ring with the spirit
and courage necessary to restore
economic freedom, justice and in

Gregory, editor Of the Prairie
Farmers. These takers are begin
ming to realize that the farmers of
the county, are ready for militant
protests and demonstrations in de-
Tense of their lives. They want to
provide them with fake demonstra-
tons to still this demand.
President Earl Smith of the IL
linois Agricultural Association has
gone to Washington to tell con-
gress about the demonstration.
He is going to tell them hat the
demonstration is a "modernized
observation of the 2O0tn anniver-
sary of Farmer" George Wash

farmers for militant struggles for
their immediate demands this mis-
leader is going to try to get them
to honor the slave owner, the rich
landlord, George Washington. He
is trying to rouse patriotism a

demands for relief.

Farmers Offered Sc a Stick
for Cutting Pulpwood by
Big Lumber Company

Meadow Brook, Mimi, June g.
The farmers around here in this
neck of the woods as well as ev-
erywhere else are having a tough
time these days. Since cream is
down to IA cnts it is hard to fig
ure out how we are going to pay
taxes and interest on mortgages.
Of course it can not be done un-
less the poor farmer happens to
get job from the county on the
roads but no such work is going
on at the present time. The Clio
quet Lumber Company has start
ed up a few pulpwood camps so
now they expect every worker and
poor farmer to go into these
camps and make a living and pay
off debts on 8 cents a stick fol
pealed spruce pulp mostly high
land spruce, and then pay 81 a
day for board.
Of course this is not called fore
ed labor, or dumping, because it is
in Minnesota.

ceived a copy of the Congression-
al Record from the Minnesota con.
gresham, Mr.. Pittinger, in which

This is nothing but a holy wal
myth but nothing is said when /:
poor man has to cut pulp for the
miserable pay of 8 cents a stick t,

this is in harmony with the Hoov
