The checking of more than 800
farms for compliance has been COM

farms and more than 1000 fields has
been finished to date. Practically all

wheat fields in November for those
farms that have wheat allotments.
This spring 693 farmers received
$4S,S8O in payments under the 1888
program and it is expected that the
payments will be about the same for

will come to the office promptly, when
they are notified that their applica-
lions are ready for their signatures.

Mr.. Clarke:

Mr.. Clarke:
Dear Sir:
You may be surprised to get note
like this one, but please print it in
your paper as have been reader
of your paper for many years.
The only public sewing room OF this
city has been closed for more than
a year. The ladies who worked there
have no employment; some of them
have families to support. Some OF
them have gone to other nearby
towns to get employment. Those
towns are much smaller than POGO
moke; if other towns can have employ
ment, why can't Pocomoke?
If the merchants would get together
and get some employment it would
be a benefit to them as well as to the
working class of people. They should
remember that the winter is on the
way and people are out of work. The
relief cannot take care of them all.
I hope they will do something soon.

PORTLAND UNIONS
STAGE LABEL SHOW

PORTLAND, Oregon. - Outstand-
ing among the many exhibits at the
Northwest Home Show held here
recently was the American Fedora
ton of Labor Label, Shopcard and
Button exhibit. Sponsored by the
Label Trades section of the Portland
Central Labor Council, and with the
cooperation of E. J. Stack, label di-
rector for the Oregon State Fedora
ton of Labor, the display of union
shop cards, labels and buttons was
one of the most successful enter
prises ever attempted by the local
labor movement.
The Morning Oregonian, sponsors
of the Home Show, very generously
contributed the booth to the labor
movement, and the local unions and
many international unions rallied
Loyalty to the support of the project,
Nearly every craft union represented
in the American Federation of Labor
had a part in the display and thou
sands of Northwest residents inspect
ed their labels and buttons receiving
a liberal union education.
Theme of the label exhibit was
Union made is American made"
The booth, despite its restricted size,
was one Of the most attractive of the
entire show and certainly the best
lighted-thanks to the Motion Pic
ture Projectionists. The exhibit was
so arranged as to show clearly the
cards, buttons and labels of every
American Federation of Labor I'M
ion and many Portland merchants
co%operated with the local labor
movement by displaying special ex-
hibits of union emblems and cards
together with union made merchan-
disc in their downtown show cases
and display windows.
Radio Stations KEW and KEX,
owned and operated by the Ore
gonian Publishing Company, broad
casted daily from the Home Show
and valuable publicity was thus
given the labor forces via the air
waves.
At the conclusion of the show the
exhibit was taken to Eugene, Ore
gon, home of the state University,
where it was shown and will be
moved from there to other Oregon
cities. 1t is hoped that this cam
paign of label education will result
in increased purchases of union made
products. The exhibit emphasizes
that the best guarantee that goods
or services are American made is to
insist upon the union label, shopcard
or button.
This is but one of the many fea-
lures of the union label program be-
ing inaugurated by the Label Trades
sections in Oregon under the capa-
BILE guidance of Charlie Crane, presi-
dent of the section, and an Interna-
tional Vice President of the BARRIERS
Union, and J. D. Macdonald, secre-
tary of the Meatcutters Local Union
number 143 and secretary of the
Label Trades section.

Practically all silk dresses are
union made but the element of cost
is SO important today that manufac-
turers do not want to increase the
price of these products unless they
receive sufficient requests from Gus
toners to insert the union label.
All Ladies Auxiliary Union Label

intermediate Pensions

Between the two just mentioned
pension extremes r many of an
intermediate character, some coming
under the General Welfare Act and
many others similar to taking out
insurance policies. In some cases,
the employers pay all the insurance
dues, more often the employer and
the insured pay half and half and
in other cases, the insured pay all
the premiums. In most cases the
employee is given a certain proper
ton of his former wages when pen
stoned off after a 25-year period of
continuous service. This class of
pensions as well as soldiers and
sailors in u. S. employ are somewhat
in line with the "%high-class pensions
insofar that no property qualifica-
tions, no pauper's oath is required
and no lien is exacted on the de-
ceased or his property.

- NE of the strangest things in all
entomology, or in all natural
~ history for that matter, is the
air-mindedness of certain wholly
earthly insects, who never did fly,
never could, and never will by any
natural means. Some of the A1achnida
in particular are obsessed with this
wild and reckless passion for aero
nautics in the spring of their lives,
and whence it arises no one has ever
explained to our satisfaction. There
are spiderlings who will go voyaging
on a blown leaf, bit of dandelion
down or flament of their own web
waited by the breeze, and even if the
journey is only twenty feet it answers
the urge of their adventurous spirits
of flying
Most daring and persistent among
all these aspiring aeronauts IS the tiny
yellow crab spider He is one who
must see the world from high up, as
the winged birds see it, and only then
will he settle down to an earthly
existence. With nothing but instinct
to guide him, the first impulse OF
every newborn crab spider is to make
flight as long and as far as possible.
They desire to, and do, make flights
of many miles soon after birth. Having
no wings. it is a ticklish and daring
undertaking.
happened to be at hand when
family of minute yellow crab spiders
took their first aerial journey. Sitting
at my window l had been watching
some two hundred, newly-hatched,
yellow-gray field spiders. the size Of
pin-heads, indulging in all manner of
gymnastics on their swinging guy
ropes. Later came upon the crab
spider family on the garden terrace.
They were no more than an hour out
of the egg sack, yet they were agile as
any grown spiders and already afire
with the zeal to fly. Up dry yellow
chicory stalk they we're swarming and
out to the tips of the highest leaves
in their frenzy to take off. Sitting
down close by, l discovered at first
hand the secret of the little crab
spiders aerial prowess.
Once at the top of the dried stalk

found that they supported their weight
without sagging and hurried back to
the branch tip to pay out more silk.
Each spider released from twenty-five
to thirty feet of silk, then released his
life line. gripped the long floating
streamer, cast loose and drlfted away
on the westerly breeze. They had dis
covered how to fly. at least how to
float on the end of a buoyant bal
loon-like thread.
Judging by the strength and set
of the breeze figured that each spider
would float two or three miles, at,
least, before coming to earth, possibly
until the growing dampness of dusk
weighted down the ephemeral threads
that we're their balloons.
By the following day those that
we're still alive would have settled
down somewhere to new existence
as totally different creatures. Some
thing deep within each would have
been utterly appeased by then, each.
would awake ravenous next morning.
20 forth with an unbelievable bel
ligerence and agility to claim by right
of prowess tiny patch OF surrounding
grass and weeds as his hunting pre-
cinct, and never would any of them
attempt to fly again.
In these natural hunting grounds
you may look for sight of the crab
spider and rarely see one. unless you
have learned the trick of color
camouflage, for he blends himself per-
fectly with the heart of some yellow
flower or yellow leaf In this way. by
remaining perfectly still, he is able to
fool his natural enemies. for it is
believed that man is the only creature
who can pick out a motionless object
against neutral background.
All this, of course, is simply natures
way of sowing the spider species
about the landscape like thistledown
and dandelion seed; unless one chooses
to imagine that it arises from some
primordial instinct lost during early
time, similar to those that make new
born sloths struggle for day or two
to navigate upright among the trees
before giving in to the fallen estate of
an upside down existence
Evening star., 1939-03-19

each minute spider began releasing
a fine silken line from it's web sack,
the line waving back and forth in the
breeze. Where several spiders halted
in cluster these lines became tangled
and useless, entailing considerable
time and labor and evident consterna-
ton before they could be loosened and
disentangled.

Cold weeks gone by, when life wrapped in :
But now, in March. know it by the way
The pasture brook runs wild; the way that
Of winter-blackened naples shows the sweat
Of spring on greening limbs. Stand still and feel
The airs crisp edges folding back to let
The softness through. This is the only real
