CUMMINS The effort of Mr. Gompers and a few of his associates to control the next election—apparently in the interest of the democratic party—is impressed upon the public mind by the organized effort to defeat Senator Cummins of Iowa for reelection. L. E. Sheppard, acting president of the order of railroad conductors, recently declared it to be the purpose to defeat Mr. Cummins in November. There are many who doubt the ability of these labor leaders to control the votes of the members of their unions against a man who has been as good a friend of labor as has the senior senator from Iowa. The particular cause of the antagonism toward Senator Cummins is the fact that he was the author of those provisions in the railroad bill which established a tribunal for the adjudication of labor and wage disputes and then proposed to make it unlawful for two or more men to conspire to interfere with interstate commerce. This was known as the "Anti-Strike Clause" of the bill. Theer was expressly reserved to all railroad employees the rights to quit at any time for any reason, the only limitation being every two years, the new reasons Mr. Gompers is able to conjure up for supporting the democratic ticket. FARMERETTES VOLUNTEER TO HARVEST LEMON CROP Seventeen Young Ladies Picking Fruit on Hewes' Ranch Farmerettes, who during the war helped in no considerable measure to meet the call for food, came to the aid of the lemon industry in Orange county as a result of the freight embargo, shortage of farm help, and bright and early Friday morning seventeen younw women, be-trousered, be-middled, and be-shirted, started to work picking lemons on the 672 acre Hewes ranch at El Modena. And what is more, they started out with an enthusiasm and vim which augurs well for their success. Manager D. Eyman Huff of the Hewes ranch even goes so far as to predict that after the young ladies have had three or four weeks' experience, they will everage as many boxes of lemons per eight-hour day as the men pickers average in nine hours, basing this prediction on the experience ow women pickers in other districts. The lemon picking crew of the Hewes ranch was recently depleted by the departure of several men to work in the beet filed, leaving the ranch short-handed. Then it was that Manager Huff conceived the idea of utilizing a number of the young women who had been working in the Hewes packing house as field workers. He put the question up to the girls and they "fell for it" at once. Indications were that the Hewes lemon orders would be filled in a week, and at the The unreasonableness of the attitude of Mr. Gompers and Mr. Sheppard toward Senator Cummins was clearly set forth by a democratic member of the senate, Mr. Thomas of Colorado. After discussing various phases of Mr. Gompers' activities, Senator Thomas said: "I do not exaggerate when I say that the senior senator from Iowa (Mr. Cummins) is one of the most eminent, one of the most useful, one of the most patriotic members of this body. He served his state for two or three terms as governor with eminent ability and signal success. He is a sincere and conscientious statesman, devoting all his time and energies to the duties of the great office which he has been honored more than once by his appreciative constituency. He has brought to the discharge of his responsibilities a mind enriched by years of study, reflection, and experience; he is qualified both by nature and by education to intelligently discharge the duties of his position here and is thoroughly equipped with all the qualifications of an American legislator. He has been the friend, the extreme and unshakable friend, of organized labor ever since I have had the honor of his acquaintance. He has gone so far in supporting their demands as to subject himself to the quiet criticism of some of his associates, none of whom, however, ever had a doubt of his integrity, his honor, or his purity of purpose. "The senator from Iowa virtually had charge of the anti-trust bill in 1914; when it was under consideration here. It was nominally in charge of the former senator from Nevada (Mr. New- Hewes ranch was recently depleted by the departure of several men to work in the beet filed, leaving the ranch short-handed. Then it was that Manager Huff conceived the idea of utilizing a number of the young women who had been working in the Hewes packing house as field workers. He put the question up to the girls and they "fell for it" at once. Indications were that the Hewes lemon orders would be filled in a week, and at the time the "farmerette" idea was to be given its inception on the ranch. Then came the railroad strike and the embargo on citrus fruits, effective Thursday. That caused a cessation of all lemon packing in the Hewes house at noon, and hastened the day on which the "peaches" were to start picking lemons. Thursday afternoon the girls set about getting their field outfits, and Friday they were at work some in typical farmerette attire, some wearing white middles and farmerette trousers, one or two in the ordinary trousers, one or two in the ordinary garden variety of blue overalls and three or four in the petticoated style which most women wear. LIVE STOCK AUCTIONS POPULAR Selling live stock by auction, a plan started in Kern county, California, in 1912, has now spread through a considerable area of the interior of the state, especially where large numbers of hogs are grown. Last year seven counties—Keru, Kings, Merced, Madera, Stanislaus, Tulare and Fresno—formed the California Farm Bureau Marketing association and joined in conducting auction sales. This association employed a manager and assistant manager who were responsible for the success of the sales. In addition, each county farm bureau has a committee in charge of the sales locally. Auction sales were also held in San Joaquin and Shasta counties. It is expected that this system will expand throughout the state during the coming year and that it will prove applicable to other products which are capable of standardization. The business last year included 153 auction sales at which 543 carloads of live stock were sold for $1,790,330.79. It is estimated that the sales brought a direct increased return to the farmers of $166,946.97 over the prices the stock would have brought otherwise. The senator from Iowa virtually had charge of the anti-trust bill in 1914; when it was under consideration here. It was nominally in charge of the former senator from Nevada (Mr. Newlands), who depended upon his colleague for the analysis of its provisions, the defense, both legal and practical, of its contested recitals. The evolution of its many and difficult provisions was largely the work of the senator from Iowa. On this floor he prepared and introduced an amendment which was adopted, specifically reciting that labor was not a commodity. That was the first appearance of that statement in any legislation of which I am cognizant. He was the author as well of the operation of labor and agricultural associations from the operation of the anti-trust law. I do not think it is too much to say that but for the senator's vigorous, earnest, and persistent advocacy of those amendments, they might not have passed. The senator from Iowa was upon the committee of conference, stood by his amendments, and succeeded in retaining them in the original form. But he has offended Mr. Gompers, so he must walk the political plank in November." When the federal court and the department of justice begin to give as zealous attention to election practices in the states of the solid south as they have to what goes on in Michigan, all those southern cantonments will have to be reopened to care for the convicts. It is always interesting to note, It is expected that this system will expand throughout the state during the coming year and that it will prove applicable to other products which are capable of standardization. The business last year included 153 auction sales at which 543 carloads of live stock were sold for $1,790,330.79. It is estimated that the sales brought direct increased return to the farmers of $166,946.97 over the prices the stock would have brought otherwise. This is but one example of the help given by the county agent in organizing farmers for selling live stock. One hundred and three county agents in nineteen states report this service as an important feature of the work last year. Furthermore, 133 county agents in fourteen states report that they assisted in organizing livestock associations in their counties. The covenant that is dearer to true Americans than any of the inventions of new-fangled internationalism is the compact known as the American Constitution. The democratic party's idea of democracy is exemplified in the state of Virginia, where five-sixths of the men conscripted as voters under the election laws of the state. ORANGE COUNTY PRODUCTS Killing rattlers was the "out door" sport enjoyed Sunday afternoon by a company of Santa Ana people who went to Silverado canyon on a picnic party. Two big rattlers were the trophies of the afternoon hunt for the deadly reptiles. The company was composed of Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Gulledge and Mr. and Mrs. Jas Harper. One rattler measured seven feet and had twelve rattles and the other was five feet long and had ten rattles. Gulledge was the man and the snakes his path in satisfying pressed before sallying mountains. He and from Crossette, Ark. In going into the day he said he hoped a California rattlesmith with him.

His pay is less than a day laborer's. 8 out of every 10 ministers receive less than $20 a week—about half the pay of a mechanic. We Pay Him Half the Wages of a Mechanic And of these pitifully inadequate salaries, how much do you contribute? Nothing if you are outside the church; an average of less than 3c a day if you are a church member. All of us share in the benefits of Christian ministers to the community. They marry us; bury us; baptize our children; visit us when we are sick. In their hands is the spiritual training of the youth.

YOUR MONEY'S WORTH ALWAYS ANAHEIM ledge was the man who did the killing and the snakes apparently crossed his path in satisfying a wish he expressed before sallying forth into the mountains. He and his wife are here from Crossette, Ark., visiting. In going into the mountains Sunday he said he hoped to be able to kill a California rattlesnake to take home with him. Starting out after lunch for a hike, accompanied by Harper, he had not proceeded more than fifty yards from where the party lunched before he heard a rattler and spotting the reptile he proceeded to kill it with a club. He returned to camp and proudly exhibited his kill and after skinning it said he would like to have one more. He returned to the scent of the first battle and near by found the largest one, which he dispatched. The skins of both will be preserved and made into a belt and when he returns to his eastern home he will have a real trophy to exhibit to his friends and relatives.
