SILHOUETTES OF WESTERN CANADA The man from lowa began to talk land before the train was well out of the C. N. It. depot in Winnipeg. The talk began in rather wide circles. The rush to the land, the bumper crop, the system of summer fallowing pursued In the semi-arid districts, were all discussed, and then, with a sort of apologetic smile, the lowa man said: "I'm a bit interested in this country myself. Some of the men down home got a few sections up here along this line, and I'm going to have a look at them. Never been up in Canada be fore"— (it is curious how these mid ■western Americans pronounce the name of the Dominion as if it was "Can'dy")—"but if it looks good we will be up to stay next fall." "You see, it's like this," said the man from lowa, —quite manifestly con tinuing an argument that had been go ing on in his mind for some time. "Back in our State land hay become dear. Anybody wanting to sell can get S7O or SBO an acre for it, and every farm that's offered is snapped up. In Saskatchewan we have just, as good land that cost us sll and sl2, so that a man can take up five 'or six times as much there as in low u on the same investment of money. "It isn't the money, though, that brings most of us up from lowa. I'm not sure that money would be enough. The 'invasion' is a family affair. We have no chance of keeping our sons around us back home. They have to leave the farm and go into the big cities of the neighboring States to get work. To keep them on the farm and in touch with us, we come up here and make little colonies with the chil dren around us, on homesteads or bought land. This makes it easier for the farmers back there in lowa to get land for the stay-at-homes. The fam ilies that come to Canada are kept together and the families that buy the farms they leave are kept to gether, too. There won't be any slack ening of the rush, either, for they still raise big families back in lowa." One could almost see the mental process of this typical American farm er in defending a step that meant a new flag, a new allegiance, a new land, and new associates. To aban don 01(1 Glory of the Declaration of Independence for a good thing in cheap land would hardly be playing the game, but togo out into Sas katchewan to "keep the family togeth er," was another and a quite higher motive. Why seek too closely to analyze the reasons for the greatest land trek in the history of America? It is enough to know that the sons ol'the frontiers men of lowa, and Kansas, and Minne sota —the best blood of the mid-west — are pouring into the Canadian west in an ever-increasing stream, and are learning that "God Save the King" and "My Country 'Tis of Thee," are sung to the same tune. —Toronto (Ontario) Gtobe.

Hulled corn may be prepared wt home. Take good hard wood ashes and make a lye. Cook the corn in a weak lye until the hulls come off, then wash it in several waters to remove the lye, and the corn Is ready to cook. Hominy or hulled corn makes a good dinner dish by seasoning with butter, cream, salt and pepper, and serve it as a vegetable. It may be mashed, seasoned and made into cakes and fried brown on both sides. As a breakfast dish serve it with cream or milk, with or without sugar. The hominy or hulled corn in the market needs long, slow cooking to make it soft and palatable. Orange Creams. To make orange creams take some of the fondant, flavor with the grated rind of an orange, using care not to grate too deep. If patties are wanted add a little orange juice and melt the fondant over hot water. Drop by tea spoonfuls on buttered sheets. If the creams are wanted, mold quickly in the hands. If the l'ondant is very soft, chill it and bring in a little at a time to work up. A Wholesome Breakfast Dish. Wheat fresh from the granary, If you have one, or buy it at the mill, soaked over night and cooked all day on the back part of the range, makes a breakfast food unequaled as to nu triment and a great favorite with all who have been served with it. A bowl of wheat with rich milk will make a good breakfast for a growing child. Household Hint 6. Cut out a sole a trifle smaller than the shoe (mark a pattern by placing the shoe on a piece of paper and drawing a pencil around the shoe). Cut the soles of heavy trousers cloth and slip them into the rubbers; they will be found a great protection fron. the cold. For a baby .a sole may be pasted in to the shoe itself.

Hints for the Invalid's Tray. Make it as attractive as possibU with the prettiest china and daintiest linen. Never fill a glass or pitcher full. Use individual pots for tea or choc olate. They keep *he liquid hot and are more easily handled. In carrying a tray, sway the traj with the motion of the body and noth ing will be spilled. A tiny vase with a flower or two is always a most welcome addition tc the invalid's tray. Rice Waffles. A cupful of cold, boiled rice makes the foundation for delicious waffles Add to the rice three well-beaten . eggs, one tablespoonful of sugar, thret cupfuls of flour sifted with two tea spoonfuls of baking powder, two table spoonfuls of melted butter and milk enough to make a batter. Fine hom iny may be used instead of the rice Laundry Hints. Olive oil will remove tar stains Wash after applying, in soap suds. When washing pongee, never wring it at all. Hang to dry and iron be fore thoroughly dry. Iron with an iron not too hot. Use corn starch for the starching of fine lingerie, two or three table spoonfuls to six cupfuls of water. Cake Notes. Cakes containing brown sugar, mo lasses or chocolate, should be baked* in a moderate oven. Those contain ing fruit need a slow oven. When putting a loaf cake mixture into a pan, leave a d epression through the center, as the .rake naturally rises higher here and without this precau tion makes an unsightly loaf. Deviled Chestnuts. Blanch a pint of the nuts; then brown in two tablespoonfuls of olive oil, shaking the pan to brown evenly. Sprinkle with salt and red pepper, serve hot or cold. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1910, Increased Price of Elk Teeth. "During the last Ave years the value of elk teeth has more than trebled," said a western traveler at the Fred eric, according to the St Paul Dis patch. "In 1904 you could get any num ber of fine specimens in Idaho, Mon tana, Washington and bordering states for $2.50 apiece. Now you will pay from $7.50 to $lO, and they are hard to get for even that. The Apache, Sioux, Comanche and Chippewa Indi ans used to have dozens of them In their possession and traded thein for trinkets. But the redskin got wise to their value, and you can buy them from a regular dealer cheaper now than from the Indian. The passing of the elk and the great demand made by the members of the Elk lodge for teeth for emblems have boosted the price." The traveler recited an incident of an Oklahoman who bought a robe cov ered with elk teeth from a Wichita Indian for SIOO. He cut oft the teeth and cleaned up $2,200 on the deal. A Drama on the Street. A remarkable coincidence occurred at San Bernardino, Cal., one day late ly, whereby a couple about to be di vorced were happily brought together again. Mrs. Walter Preston was on her way to the court to secure a di vorce against her husband when her little daughter darted in the path of an onrushing motor car. The moth er's screams attracted the attention of a man who dashed in front of the machine, seized the little girl and leaped to safety as the automobile shot by. The rescuer proved to be the husband and father. Explanations were soon made, and the two made their way to the attorney's office, where Mrs. Preston tore up the di vorce complaint. Don't Weep At The Ice House. Some people swell up on "emotion" brewed from absolute untruth. It's an old trick of the leaders of the Labor Trust to twist facts and make the "sympathetic ones" "weep at the ice house." (That's part of the tale further on.) Gompers et at sneer at, spit upon and defy our courts, seeking sympathy by falsely telling the people the courts ■were trying to deprive them of free speech and free press. Men can speak freely and print opin ions freely in this country and no court will object, but they cannot be allowed to print matter as part of a criminal conspiracy to injure and ruin other citizens. Gompers and his trust associates started out to ruin the Bucks Stove Co., drive its hundreds of workmen out of work and destroy the value of the plant without regard to the fact that hard earned money of men who worked, had been invested there. The conspirators were told by the courts to stop these vicious "trust" methods, (efforts to break the firm that won't come under trust rule), but instead of stopping they "dare" the courts to punish them and demand new laws to protect them in such de structive and tyrannical acts as they may desire to do. * * * The reason Gompers and his band persisted in try ing to ruin the Bucks Stove Works was because the stove company insist ed on the right to keep some old em ployees at work when "de union" or dered them discharged and some of "de gang" put on. Now let us reverse the conditions and have a 'ook. Suppose the company had ordered the union to dismiss certain men from their union, and, the demand being re fused, should institute a boycott against thai union, publish its name in an "unfair list," Instruct other man ufacturers all over the United States not to buy the labor of that union, have committees call at stores and threaten to boycott if the merchants sold anything made by that union. Picket the factories where members work and slug them on the way home, blow up their houses and wreck the works, and even murder a few mem bers of the boycotted union to teach taem they must obey the orders of "organized Capital?" It would certainly be fair for the company to do these things If lawful for the Labor Trust to do them. • In such a case, under our laws the boycotted union could apply to our courts and the courts would order the company to cease boycotting and tryin™ to ruin these union men. Sup pose thereupon the company should sneer at the court and in open defiance continue the unlawful acts in a per sistent, carefully laid out plan, pur posely Intended to ruin the union and force its members into poverty What a howl would go up from the union demanding that the courts pro tect them and punish their law-break ins oppressors. Then they would praise the courts and goon earning a living protected from ruin and happy In the knowledge that the people's courts could defend them. How could any of us receive protec tion from law-break-:rs unless the courts have power to, and do punish such men? The court is placed in position where it must do one thing or the other— punish men who persist in defying its peace orders or go out of service, let anarchy reign, and the more powerful destroy the weaker. Peaceful citizens sustain the courts as their defenders, whereas thieves, forgers, burglars, crooks of all kinds and violent members of labor unions, hate them and threaten violence if their members are punished for break ing the law. They want the courts to Vet. them go free and at the same time demand punishment for other men "out side de union" when they break the law. « » * Notice the above refer ence to "violent" members of labor unions.

Occasionally we meet people who spend half their time telling what they are going to do and the other half explaining why they didn't do it upright citizens. The noisy, violent ones get into office and the leaders of the great Labor Trust know how to mass this kind of men, in labor con ventions and thus carry out the lead ers' schemes, frequently abhorrent to the rank and file: so it was at the late Toronto convention. The paid delegates would applaud and "resolute" as Gompers wanted, but now and then some of the real work ingmen insist on being heard, some times at the risk of their lives. Delegate Egnn is reported to have said at the Toronto convention: "If the officers of the federation would only adhere to the law we would think a lot more of them." The Grand Council of the Provincial Workingmen's Ass'n of Canada has declared in favor of severing all Jt>i nections with unions in the U. S., say ing "any union having its seat of Gov't in America, and pretending to be international in its scope, must fight industrial battles according to Ameri can methods. Said methods have con sequences which are abhorrent to the law-abiding people of Canada involving hunger, misery, riot, bloodshed and murder, all of which might be termed as a result of the practical war now in progress in our fair provinces and directed by foreign emissaries of the United Miners of America." That is an honest Canadian view of our infamous Labor Trust." A few dayb ago the daily papers printed the following: (By the Associated Press.)) Washington, D. C., Nov. 10. —Char- acterizing the attitude of Samuel Gom pers, John Mitchell and Frank Mor i rison of the American Federation of ! Labor in the contempt proceedings in the courts of the District of Columbia, in connection with the Bucks' Stove and range company, as "a willful, pre meditated violation of the law," Simon Burns, general master workman of the general assembly. Knights of Labor, has voiced a severe condemnation of these three leaders. Mr. Burns ex pressed his confidence in courts in gen eral and in those of the District of Columbia in particular. APPROVED BY DELEGATES. This rebuke by Burns was In his an nual report to the general assembly of his organization. He received the hearty approval of the delegates who heard it read at their annual meeting in this city. "There is no trust or combination of capital in the world," said Mr. Burns, "that violates laws oftener than do the trust labor organizations, which resort to more dishonest, unfair and dishon orable methods toward their competi tors than any trust or combinations in the country." Mr. Burns said the action of "these so-called leaders" would be harmful for years to come whenever attempts were made to obtain labor legislation. "The Labor Digest," a reputable worklngman's paper, says, as part of an article entitled "The beginning of the end of Gompersism, many organ izations becoming tired of the rule-or ruln policies which have been en forced by the president of the A. F. of L." "That he lias maintained his leader ship for so long a time in the face of his stubborn clinging to policies which the more thoughtful workingmen have seen for years must be abandoned, has been on account partly of the senti mental feeling on the part of the or ganizations that he ought not to be de posed, and the unwillingness of the men who were mentioned for the place, to accept a nomination in opposition to him. In addition to this, there is no denying the shrewdness of the leader of the A. F. of L., and his political sa gacity, which has enabled him to keep a firm grip on the machinery of the or ganization, and to have his faithful henchmen in the positions where tlioy could do him the most good whenever their services might be needed. "Further than this, he has never failed, at the last conventions, to have come sensation to sprirg on the con vention at the psychological moment, which would place him in the light of a martyr to tho cause of unionism, and Knowledge Enough.

Happiness In marriage would be more prevalent if a man would handle his wife as tenderly and carefully as he does an old briar pipe. excite a wave of sympathetic enthusi asm for him, which would carry the delegates off their feet, and result in his re-election. "That his long leadership, and this apparent impossibility to fill his place has gone to his head, and made him imagine that he is much greater a man than he really is, is undoubtedly the case, and accounts for the tactics he has adopted in dealing with questions before congress, where he has unneces sarily antagonized men to whom or ganized labor must look for recogni tion of their demands, and where labor measures are often opposed on account of this very antagonism, which would otherwise receive support. "There is no doubt but what organ ized labor in this country would be much stronger with a leader who was more in touch with conditions as they actually exist, and who would bring to the front the new policies which organ ized labor must adopt if it expects to even maintain its present standing, to say nothing of making future progress." We quote portions of another article, a reprint, from the same labor paper: "Organized labor, through its lead ers, must recognize the mistakes of the past if they expect to perpetuate their organizations or to develop the move ment which they head. No movement, no organization, no nation can develop beyond the intellects which guide these organizations, and if the leaders are dominated by a selfish motive the organization will become tinged with a spirit of selfishness, which has never appealed to mankind in any walk of life at any time since history began. "It can be said in extenuation of cer tain leaders of organized labor that the precarious position which they oc cupy as leaders has had a tendency to cause them to lose sight of the object behind the organization. The natural instinct in man for power and position is in no small measure responsible for the mistakes of the leaders, not neces sarily in labor unions alone, but in every branch of society. This desire for power and leadership and personal aggrandizement causes men who have been earnest and sincere in their ef forts in the start to deteriorate into mere politicians whose every act and utterance is tinged with the desire to cater to the baser passions of the working majority in the societies or organizations and this is undoubtedly true when applied to the present lead ers of the Federation of Labor. We mention the Federation of Labor par ticularly in this article, because that organization is the only organization of labor which has yet found itself In direct opposition to the laws of the land. There are other organizations of labor whose leaders have made mis takes, but they have always kept them selves and their organizations within the bounds of the law and respected the rights of every other man In con sidering the rights of themselves and their constituency; whereas, the motto of the Federation Is just the reverse, and unless the leaders conform them selves and their organization in accord ance with the laws of the land, the leaders and the organization itself must be disintegrated and pass into history, for in America the common sense of mankind is developed to a greater extent than in any other nation on the earth, and the peopla, who are the court of last resort in this country, will never allow any system to develop in this country which does not meet with the approval of the majority of the cit.izer.3 of the countfy. "This rtust have forced itself upon the leaders of the Federation by this time. If it has not, the leaders must be eliminated. The organization which they head has done many meritorious things in times past and the people are always ready and willing to acknowl edge the benefits which their efforts have brought to their constituency as a whole, but at the present time labor organizations in general, and the Fed eration of Labor in particular, stand before the bar of public opinion, hav ing been convicted of selfishness and a disposition to rule all the people of the country in the interest of the few.

In an interview published In the Kleler Neueste Nachrlchten, Orossad mlral von Koster says many interest ing things about his visit to New York, among them the following: "In the absence of President Taft, who was away on a trip to the Mexican frontier, the place of honor was taken by the vice-president of the United States, Secretary of State Sherman of New York."

If you see a fault in others, thlntf of two of your own. and do not add a third one by your hasty Judgment. see If the object lesson which they have been forced to give to these lead ers is going to be recognized and if they are going to conform themselves and their future work and actions in ac cordance thereto." Let the people remember that com ment, "The Federation of Labor in par ticular stands before the bar of public opinion having been convicted of sef iishness and a disposition to rule all the people of the country in the inter est of the few." The great 90 per cent of Americans do not take kindly to the acts of tyranny of these trust leaders openly demanding that all people bow down to the rules of the Labor Trust and we are treated to the humiliating specta cle of our Congress and even the Chief Executive entertaining these convicted law-breakers and listening with consid eration to their insolent demands that the very laws be changed to allow them to safely carry on their plan of gaining control over the affairs ol' the people. The sturdy workers of America have come to know the truth about these "martyrs sacrificing themselves in the noble cause of labor" but it's only the hysterical ones who swell up and cry over the aforesaid "heroes," reminding one of the two romantic elderly maids who, weeping copiously, were discov ered by the old janitor at Mt. Vernon. "What is it ails you ladies?" Taking the handkerchief from one swollen red eye, between sobs she said: "Why we have so long revered the memory of George Washington that we feel it a privilege to come here and weep at hi 3 tomb.' "Yas'm, yas'm, yo' shore has a desire to express yo' sympathy but yo' are oyerflowin' at de wrong spot, yo' is weepin' at de ice house." Don't get maudlin about law-break* ers who must be punished if the very existence of our people is to be main tained. If you have any surplus sympathy it can be extended to the honest workers who continue to earn food when threat ened and are frequently hurt and sometimes killed before the courts can intervene to protect them. Now the Labor Trust leaders de mand of Congress that the courts be stripped of power to issue Injunctions to prevent them from assaulting or per haps murdering men who dare earn a living when ordered by the Labor Trust to quit work. Don't "weep at the Ice House"and don't permit any set of law-breakers to bully our courts, if your voice and vote can prevent. He sure and write your Representatives and Senators in Congress asking them not to vote for any measure to prevent the courts from protecting homes, property and persons from attack by paid agents of this great Labor Trust. Let every reader write, and write now. Don't sit silent and allow the organ ized and paid men of this great trust to force Congress to believe they rep resent the great masses of the Amer ican people. Say your say and let your representatives in Congress know that you do not -".ant to be governed under new laws which would empower the Labor Trust leaders with legal right to tell you when to work, Where! For whom! At what price! What to buy! What not to buy! Whom to vote for! How much you shall pay per month in fees to the Labor Trust! etc., etc., etc. This power is now being demanded by the passage of laws i:i Congress. Tell your , Senators and Representa tives plainly that you don't want them to vote for any measure that will allow any set of men either representing Capital or Labor to govern and dic tate to the common people, who prefer to be free togo and come, work or not ,and vote for whom they please. Every man's liberty will disappear when the leaders of the great Labor Trust or any other trust can ride rough shod over people and mass their forces to pi event our courts from affording protection.
