the year 'round. He rets to loaf
through the winter months and
when the heary spring and aummer
worK arrlres, he has the pleasure of
seeing hoboes come In and draw
down t? and $10 a day. A strike
of hired tnen Is practically unknown,
although such conditions in any
other trade would be the signal for
a walkout.
How do you treat your hired man?
In these days when erery kind of
labor Is demanding a fair share o!
more of the gross, as well as the
profits, this Is an important question.
It Is especially Important on the
farm, as folks who are trying to get
through rush seasons with Weary
nd Wild Wobbly assistance hare
realized. For, if we are to Judge by
-recent learned dlscuslons, the reason
there are so few hired men is be
cause the position is especially dis
tasteful. .
For the title of "hired man" has
teen one in which there has 'been
little honor- and less wages. The
klred.man is the fellow who works
At any rate, there is now a big
to take care of thel
hired men, and all of us should feel
good about it. The farm magaiines
are filled with Instructions as to how
they should be treated and . what
measures should be adopted to over
come the shortage of farm labor.
Out In this part of the country,
where farms may be obtained for a
nominal rent, a hired man .: doesn't
ronialn a hired man but a year or
two, ordinarily then he has a farm
of his own. But in some of the other
agricultural states, farmers are drlT
en to such lengths that they will
adopt sets of rules for' their guid
ance. Here Is a set formulated by a
Wisconsin agriculturist:
merely tell hlni of it in a kind way,
and the tame mistake never happens
the second time.
Eight. When work Is not pushing
1 let him have a day off once in a
while; and in the hot summer days I
let Mm go to the shade for a few
minutes each day.
Ninth. If my hired man leaves
his work for a few minutes without
my permission, I do not quarrel with
him as many bosses do; and I believe
I get as much out of my hired hand
as any one does.
Tenth. Last, but not least Impor
tant, I pay a fair wage the last day of
each month, even if I have to borrow
money to do it. ;
First. , "l make the rest-hours of
my hired help comfortable ones by
good sleeping quarters and a com
fortable Bittlng-room of his own.
Second, I furnish" him with a
reading-table with plenty of good
books, newspapers, farm papers, and
magazines, which he greatly enjoys.
Third. When a friend calls on our
hired man, the man knows he is wel
come to take his friend to his room.
Fourth. Our hired man greatly
enjoys music, so our phonograph is
at his command at any time.
Fifth. We furnish him regularly
with good, nourishing food.
Sixth. When we go to church or
viaittng, we always ask our hired
man to go along with us, and seldom
does he refuse.
Seventh. If he makes a mistake,
I do not get angry with him. I

Among the tales of gratitude, the
following, taken from the Ooligist,
beats anything we have ever read
and is nearly as wild as some of the
tales we've heard:
Some doubting Thomases may not
be Inclined to believe the story, but
C. M. Wells, Helen, N. M., says that
the gratitude of New Mexico rattle
snakes is quite well known, and he
relates the following: ' '
'While doing certain topographical
work along the line of the Eastern
Railway of New Mexico, Jerry Mos
kovitz, an instrument man, noticed
the rattle population was being rap
idly depleted by the paisanos (road
runners), and he frequently witness
ed battles royal between the bird and
the reptile. Crossing a candy waste
one day, Moskovltz came upon a par
ticularly fine specimen of snake
fighting for its life, and without any
ado went to the rescue, driving off
the bird.
The snake, evidently, thinking
that it had found a friend for life,
followed him Into camp and made a
home in one of Jerry's old boots,
Now Jerry is a partlcularlsound
sleeper, alarm-clocks notwithstand
ing, and this the snake soon noticed,
so, festooning himself on the head
of Jerry's bed, he thrust his head in
to the sleeper's watch-pocket, so as
to get the correct time, hung his tall
by Jerry's ear, and promptly began
to rattle at 6 a. m.
Jerry has now becomo famous for
bis early rising.
"THE CONFKSRIOX" A FLAT
YOU WILL REMEMBER
"The Confession" which will, be
shown at the Imperial theater on
Friday and Saturday, June 4 and 5,
has been proclaimed by all who have
witnessed it . the wonder picture of
the age. '- It is a story of a tense
dramatic action, of wonderful scene
effects and has the added value of
being a decisive moral messenger.!
In presenting ''The 'Confession,"
the Imperial will show the most
talked-of picture of the age. A
photoplay production without
flaw, without an unkind , criticism
against it and only friends and ad
mirers left in its path. The story
of "The Confession" is built around
the fervid faith of a man's belief in
God and how that man, a priest, is
sustained in his belief and rewarded
for his faith in the power and mercy
of the Almighty.
Father Bartlett, after hearing the
confession ot a murderer, Qnda that
his own brother has been accused of
the crifne. He can save his brother
from the gallows by revealing tna
confession as it was made to him
He has the opportunity, in open
court on the witness stand to testi
fy that the real murderer has con
fessed his crime to him. Vaih-r
Bartlott's course in this grave crisis
is one of tha most grpp.'ng, dramat
ically told stories ever depicted ou
the silver sheet. It is a talo of ttl
most constant tenia expectation. It
is one ptcturo yo i will always re
member.

A UIO RUSH FOR
TrtK OSAGE FIELD
, '
Wells Drought in Ry Alliance Syndi
cate Have Canned Stir
Anions Oil Men.
The bringing in of a second gusher
estimated between 1,000 and 1,500
barrels dally In the Osage 'field Mon
day, May 24, has resulted In a stir
in the oil field which marks a new
era of development, sale the New
castle News-Journal. A recent test
on the first gusher which showed a
production ot 1,728 barrels started a
rush which Is without precedent In
the distory of the Wyoming fields,
The bringing In of the second spout-
er by the Adams company on sec
tion 19-46-63 has resulted in the
greatest wave of development which
has struck the huge acreage.
The well, which was reported In
last Thursday was not brought In
until Monday afternoon. It came In
with a spurt throwing oil fifty feet
over the derrick. But unlike the first
hole, the drillers were prepared and
the hole capped. with little difficulty.
Great excitement has followed the
spouter, which is said to have come
in with a much stronger flow than
the first one. It was struck at a
depth of 1,440 feet. The holdings
are on the Adams territory which it
is rumored have been disposed of to
the Sinclair Oil company.
Charles Brlttan, DeLos , Barber
and Jim Thomas went to Newcastle
Monday morning to look over the
new gusher, returning late Monday
evening. They report that well No.
2 Is still capped, awaiting the ar
rival of material for the pipe lines.
The mud is Just as deep as It has
been In Alliance, or deeper. Hund
reds of men are pouring Into the
field from all over the country.
The report that the Midwest bad
brought In a well on section 11 In
the Osage field, they say, Is an error.
The drilling crew lost their tools,
and while trying to recover them got
to kidding around. It takes little to
cause a report to go out, and within
a few hours the news had spread
that another gusher was in. The
crew is still fishing for the tools.

strawberry plants, among other
things, and believes that he can sup
port his family despite the profiteers.

HAROLD ItTOS NOT AT ALL
DESPONDENT OVER ACCIDENT
Harold Hurst, the switchman who
lost a leg in the yards about two
weeks ago, is getting along in fine
shape. His leg does not give him;
much pain and his outlook on the fu
ture Is far from black. He expect
to get considerable money from th
railroad,' and will use It to. go tc
school and from there toa Job that
does not take physical labor.
His room at St. Joseph's hospitaf
has been filled with visitors - ever
since the doctor would allow them.
He has been given all varieties of
flowers and nice things to eat. He
says he especially likes the young:
ladles that come up to visit him be
causewell, why does a guy always
like the ladtea? He has received a
couple of clever letters from a girl
in his home town, Beatrice, Neb., one
written on the Inside of a No. 12 en
velope and the other written In?
blank verse style on about a yard,
and a half of adding machine roll.. .
Not a few housekeepers need to
learn that a cow is not all Birloin
and porterhouse.
The Burlington railroad Is In a
peculiar position. It has in its pos
session a carload of tractors, and.
neither the consignee or the con
signors are willing to accept them
