Central Labor Union was distribut
ing notices on tho street yestorday
telling tho public to boworo of anyone
who claims to bo connected with tho
American Federation of Labor and
who is soliciting advertising. Partlcu-
lar attention was called to somo men
who aro supposed to bo headed this
way and who are soiling spaco on a
"Friends of Labor" poster. It is fitting
that any organization whoso good
uttmo Is endangered should warn tho
people against those who aro Irre
sponsible and attempting to do harm.
The merchants horo nppreclato sucn
service on the part of Central Labor
Union. , ,.
The County AKont says: "Tho best
method for treating smut Is by float
ing tho grain in formaldehyde boUi
tlon. If tho grain Is stirred or agi
tated under tho water or allowed to
fall through tho water it floats all of
tho smut balls, together with other
trash to tho top and provonttf tho Binut
balls from breaking and spreading
tho spores through tho treated grain.
Machines aro mado for this purpose
but tho work can be dono by hand for
small amounts of grain. If elevators
do not care to oporato ono of those
machines at cost for tho purposo o
getting better wheat, tho farmers
might buy ono co-oporatlvely for each
neighborhood."
