The only crop in Beltrami county this year which shows a decided fall- ing off over 1910 is political prom- ises, Turkey had better look out or the first thing she knows she will be ali bound round with a piece of spag- hetti. Another bad thing about war be- tween Italy and Turkey is that it is apt to crack some correspondent’s imagination. A Missouri man has discovered a way in which to keep roosters from crowing. Champ Clark is apt to take this as a personal insult. Crownwell Dixon, a young avia- tor, has succeeded in flying over the Rocky Mountains. He is attempting to qualify in the effort to reach the price of sugar. WHY WE QUIT. It wasn’t a demand for more money which has caused 25,000 men in the shops of the Harriman and Illinois Central lines to file out and say, “we wont work.” Here are the caused the trouble: demands which Recognition of shop em- ployes’ federation, represent- ing machinists, blacksmiths, boiler-makers, car men and sheet metal workers. All present or future employes not members shall join the fed- eration within thirty days. The company to agree that the control and final settlement of differences with employes shall rest with a federated committee made up of representativesof the five crafts instead of committees of individual crafts as hereto- fore. To restrict the number of apprentices. A flat increase of 7 cents an hour for all mechanics, appren- tices and helpers. No employe shall work by the piece, bonus or premium system. No form of physical examina- tion or personal record shall be required. 1f forces are reduced employ- es are to indicate who shall be laid off and seniority shall rule. No employe belonging to the federation to be discharged or suspended without a hearing. The flat raise of 7 cents might have been adjusted but when it came to telling the railroads just who, how many and what kind of men should be employed, the railroads began to wonder who owned the establishment PPPPOPPIDPDDIDDHVOIDPVIOOVIDVIOVOOOVOO OO and finally concluded to find out by denying the demands. Most classes of railroad employes haven’t much room to assail the rail- road companies as grinding tyrants who do not pay a living wage, Gen- erally, a railroad man is a fairly well paid individual. If it were the coal trust whose men tunnel in the dark and dan- genous mines for a pittance, a strike strike a more sympathetic chord than does the present appeal. The country has reached the stage where a labor strike has to have a would mighty good excuse before the public is willing to undergo the inconven- ience which comes fin {he block- ading of traffic. LR RO R R R R R RO O R R CROR ) © Notes From the Labor World, ¢ OO0 OOOOLLOOO O There are fifteen trade unions in China. Linotype operators in Tokio, Japan, earn only 45 cents a day. There are said to be fewer suicides among miners than among any other class of workmen. 8 The average rate of wages through- out the Chinese empire is probably 18 cents a day. In Japan it is probably not more, and in India much less. Eighty-five per cent of the deaths in the membership of the Interna- tional Metal Polishers’, Buffers’, Platers’ and Brass and Silver Work- ers’ Union are chargeable to tuber- culosis. The San Francisco Labor Council will assist the Cascade County Trades and Labor Assembly of Montana in compiling a complete table of statis- tics regarding the cost of living and wages in every large city of the Unit- ed States. During the last six months there has been an increase of three thou- sand in the membership of unions af- filiated with the Los Angeles Labor Council, and the total increase since June 1, 1910, is 7,216, making a to- tal of 14,329 union me1 in the city of Los Angeles. The fatal accident rate in the Min- nesota mines has steadily fallen from 7.25 for each dne thousand men em- ployed in 1906 to 4.05 ior each one thousand in 1910, in spite of the rap- id development of the industry and the large importation of uaskilled mine labor into the state. The Associated Iron Molders of Scotland have increased their mem- bership to eight thousan/ and report an arrangement whereby piece work- ers secured an increase of 2 1-2 per cent in piece wages, and an increase of 25 cents weekly for all workers drawing less than $9.00 per week. The padrone system, against which the United States immigration au- | thorities and various philanthropic and reform bodies have contended for many years, prevails among the Greek bootblacks of Detroit, accord- ing to the findings of a young Greek investigator employed by the State labor commissioner. Tenant farmers in the state of Tex- as, who, according to statisties, till about 80 per cent of the soil, have raught the organizing spirit of the times and have begun the formation of a renters’ union, which will hold a Stats convention at Waro, Tex., next noath. All land renters and farm Lt yerg are invited to join. The eight-hour law for women passed by the recent session cf the Washingiton legislature, was ¢ »:lured constitutional the other day by Su- perior Judge John F. Main, at Scattle. Physicians testified thal it was not- injurious for women to work 1ine or ten hours a day, but the court upnelc the constitutionality of the law. The organization of the Brother- hood of Timber Workers in western Louisiana and eastern Texas, to rem- edy evils which have grown up in that work, mainly the company store and the “chetk” system of payment, has been met by the Scuthern Saw- mill Operators’ Association by shut- ting down twenty-four of the largest plants and discharge of all men and the statement that other mills will be closed as fast as organizers get busy with the men. The men claim that the system employed by the mill owners is reducing them to a condi- tion of peonage, and that now is as good a time as any to bring about a change of conditions. Something to Show. - “Do you mean to tell me,” demanded Mr. 8illicus angrily, “that you actually ordered $10 worth of groceries of a to- tal stranger at prices less than any wholesale dealer can buy them and paid for them in advance?” “Yes, that’s what I said,” replied his better half. “And you hadn't sense enough to see that it was a barefaced swindle!” roared Sillicus. *“Well, your money's gone now, aud you have nothing to show for it.” “Why, yes, I have, John,” said his wife. “I have the man's receipt for the money.”—Lippincott's.

Ever since this Carnival feature was intro- duced by the owners of the amuse- ment places, hoteél and restaurants in Coney Island, the closing week of ev- ery season was scarcely more than an orgie of rowdyism, licentiousness and lawlessness in general. This year:the conditions were far worse than ever before and the scenes at Coney Island during the closing-week were chaos and riot. Women were jnsulted and subjected to violence, children kicked about and trampled ‘on’ while the men belonging to the decent and law- abiding class were utterly helpless in their efforts to put a stop to the rowdyism and to protect the women from insult and abuse. The police, although a small army of them were on the ground, were absolutely help- less and utterly unablé to suppress the excesses of rowdyism, The news- papers have taken the matter up and a determined effort will be made to put an end to such disgraceful scenes during the closing weeks at Coney Island in the future. oo Within a few weeks New York City will lose another famous land- mark, closely connected with the ear- 1y history of lower Manhattan. St. John's Chapel, the noted Episcopal house of worship in Varick street, the cornerstone of which was laid in 1803, will be torn down to make room for the widening of Varick street and the extension of® Seventh Avenue. The street improvements, which are undoubtedly much needed, were decided upon by the city some time ago and the work will soon be begun. The chapel, which is the property of the Corporation of Trin- ity Church, was considered by archi- tects a fine specimen of the British Georgian period. The chapel, which cost about $173,000, a large sum for that time, was dedicated in 1807. It contained a fine organ built in Phil- adelphia, which cost $6,060. In 1812 the fine instrument was carried away by a British cruiser and was recovered only after pay- ment of $2,000 ransom. Among the distinguished families which used to worship in the chapel in the early days were the Veseys, the Barclays, the Charltons and the Lispenards. After fifty years an alarming exodus {of families of rank began. The lead- ing cltizens, one by one, removed to' less crowded localities in the north- ern part of the island and warehouse took the place of the handsome dwell- ing houses. In 1908 the Trinity vestrymen decided that the chapel had outgrown its usefulness and steps were taken to sell the property. The chappel then had 735 communi- cants and 1058 baptized persous con- nected with it. The action of Trin- ity called forth a torreut of criticism, and the legal fight went to the Su- preme Court. In the end the Trinity vestrymen agreed to keep the chapel open so long as it appeared tha* there was a religious need for the work. THE TEST OF MERIT Bemidji People Are Given Convine- ing Proof. No better test of any article can be made than the test of time and this is particularly true of a kidney medicine. Doan’s Kidney Pills have stood the test and stood it well. What better. proof of the merits of this remedy could you demand, than the statement of a Bemidji resident who has been cured and has stayed cured? Read the following: Mrs. Ella Barett, 723 Irvine Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: “Since Doan’s Kidney Pills cured me three years ago I have been as free from kidney trouble &s if I had never had it. My system was filled with uric poison that my kidneys failed to re- move and at times I was very ner- vous. I had dull pains in the small of my back and I knew that I was in need of a kidney medicine. short time after I begun using Doan’s Kidney Pills, I improved and it did not take them long to restore me to good health.” For sale by all dealers.

Our grandmothers used to have ‘dark, glossy hair at the.age of | seventy-five, while our mothers have white’ hair -before they are fifty. Qur | grandmothers used to make a “sage tea” and apply it to their hair. The tea made -their -hair soft and glossy, and gradually restored the mnatural| color. . One objection to using such a prep+ aration- was the trouble of making it, especially as it had to be made every two or three days, on account| of souring quickly. This objaction has been overcome, and by asking almost any first-class druggist for Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem- edy the public can get a superior preparation of sage, with the admix- ture of sulphur, another valuable remedy for hair and scalp troubles. Daily use of this preparation will not only quickly restore the color of the hair, but will also stop the hair from falling out and make it grow. Get a bottle from your druggist to- day. Use it and sce for yourself how quickly dandruff goes and gray hairg vanish. This preparation is offered to the public at fifty cents a bottle, and is recommended and sold by all drug- gists. JOHN G.
