GENERAL MENTION. The Long Winter1 Nights May be made bright and cheerful by illuminating the home with either Gas or Electricity. - And the disposition of the housewife may be sweetened by relieving her of the drudgery of filling "smelly" kerosene lamps and cleaning smoky chimneys. Nothing is so well calculated to make home happy as bright lights and cheerful dispositions. We will furnish the illumination-and the cheerful dis positions will follow as a natural result. If It's a Question of Cost Let. us prove to you as we can that it is cheaper, more convenient and far better to illu minate with gas or electricity than it is to illumin ate with kerosene amps. Counting cost of kerosene and chimneys, to say nothing of the drudgery connected therewith it costs no. more to use gas or electricity. And as for the results dollar for dollar you get immensely more and better light always ready, no cleaning, no break ageby using our illuminants. , Equipping a Modern Kitchen Mr. Mechanic, you insist upon having the best and most up-to-date tools. Why deny your good wife the same conveniences for her trade. If you think hocsewifery is not a trade, just try it. Equip the kitchen with labor saving devices first a gas range, then electric irons, toasters, etc Come in and let us show you a f ew things. Lincoln Gas and Electric Light Co. OPEN EVENINGS WORKERS UNION UNIONgp STAMP Labor Items We Gently Lifted From Many Bright Exchanges. . Trolleymen have organized in Hol yokc, Mass. Master plumbers in Worcester, Mass., have graated-.tne newiforty-four hour a week schedule. Postal clerks have recently identi fied themselves with the Central La bor Council in San Francisco. Carpenters in Springfield, O., have decided on a minimum rate of 35 cents an hour and a nine-hour.rwork-day. All team drivers and helpers, ex cept those on coal wagons, have per fected an organization in Holyoke, Mass. Molders' Union in Kalamazoo, Mich., have increased strike benefits of the men on strike from $7 to $10 per week. Garment Workers Union in Indian apolis reports that its membership Is stil increasing and all factories using the label seem to have a season of prosperity. The molders working in the Enter prise foundry at Muskegon Heights have secured a raise of 4 cents an hour, or $3.06 for a nine-hour day. If the present rate of initiations continues it will be only a short time when the Metal Polishers in Spring field, O., will have every man in the organization. The Oriskany Malleable Works company, in Utica, Nl Y., one of the oldest iron working plants in New York state, granted without solicita tion an increase in wages ranging from 10 to 15 per cent. The non-union fur workers are or ganizing in Greater New York and will demand higher wages'. . Operators that formerly made $17 a week now get $9, cutters that got $30 now make $12 to $15. The molders and coremakers in Springfield, Mass., have been granted an increase the former $2.75 tq. $3, and the latter from $2.50 to $2.75. The increase will go 4nto effect on March 1 and it will continue until July 11, 1911. "WHY" IS AN IGNORMAUS? Named Shoes are Often Made in Non-union Factories.

"Why, If the prosperity of the coun try depends on the prosperity of the farmer, are the laboring men of the city considered so much more impor tant than the laborers on the farms. For instance they form unions, cause strikes, destroy property with impuni ty, and cause hardship to the covmtry at large by keeping those from work ing that are willing.to work? I am a farmer. J. C. Schmucker, Swanton, Neb." The above is a portion of a "why" sent to the Evening News and pub lished last Wednesday evening. 'Why is an ignormaus?" Just as soon as we can secure an answer to our question we will be able to explain the "why" of Farmer Schmucker. It was Josh Billings who said, "It's better not tu kno so mutch than tu kno so mutch that aint so." The trouble with Farmer Schmucker is that he knows too much that isn't so and not enough that Is so. When he says that unions cause strikes he ex poses his ignorance; when he de clares that they destroy property with impunity he betrays his lack of ver aclty, and when he says they cause hardships by preventing those from working that are willing to work he stamps himself as a wilful preverter of the truth or a man too Infernally narrowminded or too awfully lazy to study and ascertain the truth. We dearly wish Farmer Schmucker would inform us how long $9.50 pork and $8.50 beef and dollar wheat and 60 cent corn would be the market quota tions if the unions were to be smashe all at once and the wage scale and working hours left to the employers. If he doesn't know that the high prices now secured by himself and his fellow farmers are due in large measure in largest measure to the fact that through organization ' the workingmen of this country have so raised wages as to permit them to buy more and more of life's necessaries, together with some of the luxuries, It is high time he inform himself. If all the union men Farmer Schmucker insults and lies about were to quit working tomorrow, Farmer Schmucker would have to stand by and watch the prosperity of the farmers tumble to the ground. If Farmer Schmucker can read and we presume he can, since it ap pears he' can write we would advise him to forget the untruths he has stored in his mind and busy himself with storing up some real information concerning trades unions. v Farmer Schmucker should "scmuck up."
