I (®t 1924, by McClur* Nawapaper Syndicate.^ EARLY in the morning Abner's daughter# Etama Caroline, hurried down the road to her father’s farm.. She was a thin, wiry woman, brisk of motion and sharp of tongue. Behind her, hef own immaculate house, hud band and children Bare eloquent testi-' mony to her neatness and efficiency, fhside ot half an hour she had “red, dp” he# father’s house and placed be-: fore him with a clatter two prunes^ a glass of buttermilk and a slice of th^n toast. She whipped out the dishpan, briskly pourdd oat Some boiling water and stood, the dishcloth in Kef large, red hand, her eyes roving impatiently, from the Clock to her father, as he picked listlessly at his breakfast. “Land, pa!’’ she burst forth at last, "tvbaf a time it takes yon to eat! I don’t went to hurry yon, but I’ve a mil lion things to do at home this morn ing—carpet rags to dye, soap to make, and I don’t know what all besides. And since your sick spell my being here so much does eat into fny time. “I hope you’ll realize that you can’t ever again eat anything but simple food that’ll digest easy. I hear Abide Styles has been saying that in her opinion ’twas nothing more’n eating your own cooking that brought it On. Says that never to her, dying day will she forget the meal she saw you fin ing for yourself one poontime when she Stopped to get a setting, of eggs— greasy fried potatoes and coffee that had boiled at least an hour and was black as night. Says it made her heart ache—kumph I Maybe ’twouldn’t have ached quite &s much if she hadn’t been a Widow add you a widoWer. “I said as much to the one who told me, and, says I, ‘fa can come and live with us any time he says the word,’ I Says, ‘an* he knows it. It beats all the Way he hangs onto living there alone, when he might he where there Is folks’—and you’d better think it over seriously, pa. •wnen you naa your neaitn 'twas some different, but you can’t deny that you aren’t picking: up any. I’ll leave the dishes for you do do. I sha’n’t be down again today. "Your egg-nogg for. lunch is on the cellar bottom and there’s plenty prunes cooked up—and you can fix your hot milk and your rice for supper, ril be down first thing tomorrow morn ing.” With a Jerk of her shawl she hurried away. For a long time her father sat mo tionless, his broad shoulders sagging despondently as he leaned unseeingly over his untasted breakfast With a sigh his eyes focused upon his food and an expression almost of ferocity appeared upon his kindly features. He hastily cleared the table and went out to attend to the chores. At noontime he assembled his egg-nogg and his prunes and then set {hem away, un tasted. He sank listlessly into his armchair and gased Sift Of the window. Some tipie later the door flew open with a bang and a red-cheeked urchin slammed a napkin-covered basket upon the kitchen table, glibly repeating, "Mis’ Styles sent this for the Ladies’ Aid supper, and tell Mis’ Henderson she’ll be down in time to make the coffee.” With a clatter he was off and away, Abner ran to the back door, shouting, "Hey, this belongs at Lot Henderson's, on the lower road,” but the small messenger was out of sight An aroma, elusive, provocative, memdry-stirring, pervaded the vicinity of the basket Cautiously Abner fold ed back the enshrouding napkins and stood gazing WOrshipfully. There, as hot as though just out of the oven, re posed an earthen baking dish of fra grant escalloped oysters, its opulent mound of crusty brown surface hint ing tantalizingly of the deliciousness beneath, and a deep, goiden-hued pump kin pie. Abner stared hungrily, his wistful eyes Shining. Then With a groan, he threw back the coverings and walked resolutely away-—but even tually he came back! x. Some time later Abble Styles rapped lightly at the kitchen door. “Has my basket been left here by mistake?” she began, then stopped as her fiance fell on the empty dishes. “Abble,” stammered Abner, his shamefaced air but partially conceal ing an all-pervading satisfaction, “a few hours ago I was a poor, Starving Old critter, dying a horrible death from an overdose of sklmmilk and prunes, If your First Aid supper hadn't come Just when It did, I vow I would ha’ passed away, The Ladies' Alders never had a likelier Subject for mis sionary work. I’m through dieting for ’good apd all-only,” he heaved a pro digious sigh, reddened in embarrass ment, and blurted out, "it’ll be awful hard to go back to zdy Own cooking again I Ho, hum!” Mrs. Styles’ comely face became a trifle more rosy. ‘‘I'm real glad you ate it* Abner,” she lectured, heartily, "and, land, I do a sight of cooking. Ain't a mite of reason why you shouldn’t come up to Supper tomorrow night. I'll be expecting you.” She hurried away, and the doorway looked suddenly bleak in consequence. “Land, land i” breathed Abble# with a mischievous smile, as she caught up another basket from beneath the hedge, “maybe ’twas awful bold Of me —-bflt him so shy and never quite dar ing to Come to the point! Yes, yes, him being most starved, together with that ‘first aid supper,’ was the only combination that would’ve ever been effective! Whafd he lay,t wonder, if he'knew that basket was sent there a-purpose?” If your merchant doesn’t handle Union-Mnde goods try one that does. ggggfiSBMte^i...,jujujl.ljl.-ii.,,.,.,,,,: ■ "i- 1 -'mumnu^.^as ' ... \ Frank Morrison, Secretary, A. F. L< Mr. Morrison is a candidate for delegate to the American Federation of Labor Convention to be held in El Paso, Texas, next fall. He is a member of the Chicago Typographical Union, and has been elected as one of the representatives from the I. T. U. to the big conventions for the past several years. Mr. Morrison ha» many friends in the South, and printers throughout this section are busily engaged in looking after his campaign this year.

' —- ..\-r Gettipers lnasts Hiat Labor Be FuB Recognition of Real Worth M .ftstrrisbvffg', ?&., April 10.—Presi dent Samuel Gompers, of the Ameri can Federation of Labor, looking1 the picture of health as he submitted to a tire of questions from reporters, came i hefe to take part in the conference «n superpower galled by Governor Gifford Finchot. ~ F*rteieipatiK£ in ' the conference, aside from President Gompers and Gov,. Pinchot, Were President James P. Noonan of the Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, President Wil liam Johnston of the Internatiofi a! Association of Machinists, 0, S. Beyer, Engineer representing the machinists, technical representatives of the ,pcrWe# hidttStry and represen tatives of the public. President Gompers declared that industry is just beginning ot realise Mow intimately labor is concerned With technical progress. ./ “No social group,’’ he said, “is more concerned for the increased development of powfer resources and lowering the cost of power than are the users of the tools of industry and commerce. "More abundant power at lower rates means more machinery, in creases the productive capacity of the tool users and cheapens. com modity costs. These in turn mean higher standards'of living.” , Mr. Gompers declared that labor welcomes technical progress. “To state the case'ip. terms of industrial relations,” he continued, “as Wage earners, and workmen we ask oppor tunity to participate in the develop ment of industry as an organized group.’' t. Six suggestions for the power in dustry, which Mr. Gompers believes “will be the most. important deter mining element in the social artd economic life of the future,” were offered at . the! conference. They were: /•/ “First—It required that there be a full and frank acknowledgment cm the part of the whole country of the role, which- labor has to play and of its ability to offer co-operation in ^practical operation. “Second—With labor’s role fully acknowledged, there must then be a consciousness on the part of the whole industry that those who oper ate the industry in all of its branches are entrusted with vital functions and have obligations to those within the 4 gagas , ggg industry, to the natural Wealth brought into use and to other indus tries and the people as <i whole. /^fcird—'Wfe experience of the in dustry must determine to a large ex tent hdw to organize the factors with in the industry on a democratic basis that runs parallel to its functions, so as to discharge these various obliga tions, with justiee. “Fourth—With experience as a guide in the application of the prin ciple there must come into existence joint representative bodies, in which every useful element within the in dustry may have a voice and in such manner that it will not be possible for the combined voices of some to smother the Voices of Others in pur suance of injustice. “Fifth—These joint organizations of representatives must have as their smallest unit the locality, after which larger units mhy follow in accordance with the natural lines found in the ALHAMBRA NOW PETE PATES Syncopated Sleepers ■ ■ * -■ "• i • - ---WITH--.

The regularity of employment is the aspect in which labor is fundamentally Interested!, he said. “fWe labor men participating in this conference are fully aware of the importance of this aspect of thfe studV as well as of our serious obliga tion not only for the conservation of the power resources of our nation, ■but for the conservation of those who are an integral part of the na tion it3lef.” " - . : A special meeting will be held ai Belmont Carpenters Union hall or fifonday night Week.
