BLOODY LABOR TROIBLE.
Six Probably Killed and Eighteen Injured a
Grabow, la.
Press dispatches from Lake
Charles, La., under dates of July 1
and 8 convey the details of the
first bloodshed in the labor fighl
being waged by the Brotherhood ol
Timber Workers against the sa\x
mills of the South.
Three men were killed, three
others fatally wounded andeighteer
others more or less seriusly injurec
in a pitched battle which occurrec
Sunday afternoon at Grabow, La.
a small mill town sixty miles nortf
of that place.
A party of 200 union men frorr
DeRidder. under the leadership
of A. L. Emerson, president of the
Brotherhood of Timber Workers
went to Grabow, where a strike is
in progress, to hold a meeting.
The proprietor of the mill and his
non-union employes met the crowd
and in a wordy row that followed
some one fired a revolver. This
was followed by a perfect fusillade.
Trouble has been brewing for some
time and feeling has increased
since the recent visit of several
Socialist and union speakers to the
mill district. The mill at Grabow
employs but six men.
The sheriff left immediately for
the scene of the outbreak and
more than a score of arrests were
made, twelve of the prisoners are
held in jail at Lake Charles charged
with murder. Company K of the
Louisiana National Guard was sent
to Grabow. but Sheriff Reid, who is
in charged, wired Governor Hall he
could control the situation without
aid of the troops.
Among the arrested are J. A.
Galloway, president of the Gallo
way Lumber Co., at whose plant
the fight occurred, and A. L. Em
erson, president of the Brother
hood of Timber Workers, who was
trying to make an address when
the shooting began.
Those killed in fight are A. T.
Vincent, non-union employe Gallo
way Lumber Co.. Roy Martin and
Cates Hall, both union, of DeRid
der.
Those fatally injured are Ed
Brown, union, T. Tolly, union, and
Bub Hickman, a farmer.
If this is a fair sample of what is
to be expected from this organiza
tion which expects to affiliate with
the Industrial Workers of the
Wo<ld in September, we feel sure
every fair minded man in Huttig is
glad that the Citizens' League has
been formed here to keep it out
and that all will awake more fully
to the rea’ization of the fact that it
is a menace instead of a benefit.

Prices High on form Products.
According to a bulletin lately is-i
sued by the census bureau, farm
ers certainly have no right to com
plain of the prices they are getting
this year. The average prices paid
; producers for a number of pro
ducts for May 15. 1912 and 1911.
are as follows: Corn 82.3 cents.
55.1 cents: wheat $1.02.8. 86.3
cents: oats 55.3 cents, 34.7 cents;
hay $ 1 7.54., $ 1 3.1 6 per ton: but
ter 24.8 cents. 20.3 cents: hogs
$6.79. $5.72: beef cattle $5.36.
$4.59: sheep $4.74.$4.51 per 100
pounds: milk 22.5 cents, 20.9
cents per gallon. The only nota
ble decreases were to be found in
cotton, which this year brought 1 1
cents per pound against 14.6 cents
last year, and cottonseed which
brought $19.21 a ton, against
$25.46 last year. Truly, we all
cotton farmers did get hard hit last
year, and if high prices, which now
seem probable this year, induce us
to go cotton crazy again next
spring, the same old story will be
told again. Plan a rotation and
stick to it. That way lies safety.

HOW TtLT HATS ARt MADt.
Tne Hair of k.ibhits and Other Small Animal
Is Used.
Hats were first manufactured ir
I England about 1510 and super
sedea caps or soft headgear in thr
i reign of Queen Elizabeth. Woe
1 was the material first employed ii
| forming felt hats, but in time, -at
i European trade with America de
j veloped. the fur of the beaver be
i ing finer and softer, came into use
hence the term beaver was lon^
synonymous with hat.
For about three centuries fint
bearer hats dyed black and pre
pared with much skill formed thf
head covering of the higher classe*
in Great Britain. This headgeai
distinguished them from the middle
and humbler classes, which contin
ued for some time to wear the less
expensive caps and bonnets.
t-'onucai ana religious airier
ences have often been marked bv
the form of hats. The Puritan ol
the reign of Charles I adopted the
steeple hat. high and narrow.with a
broad brim and devoid of ornament
The cavalier during the same era
wore a lower and broader crown
with a feather stuck on one side.
The Quaker hat, low in the crown,
with broad brim and plain, dates
from the origin of the sect in the
middle of the Seventeenth century.
The history of hat manufacture
in this country dates back to very
early colonial days. In 1662 the
Assembly of Virginia enacted a
law offering 10 pounds of tobaccc
for every good wool or fur ha
made in the colony. Delaware, it
| 1753. offered a prize of 40 shill
I ings for the neatest and best ha
manufactured in the lower colo
nies. Carolina, by 1767, had de
veloped a flourishing hat industry
with a large export trade to the
Spanish islands. Soon after the
close of the revolution the manu
facture of hats had become of greai
importance in Pynnsylvania. anc
from that time the industry has
continued to flourish.
Felt hats are made in a wide
range of qualities. The finer anc
most expensive qualities are former
entirely of fur: the commone
qualities use a mixture of fur anc
Saxony wool. For the lowes
kinds, says the Electrical Record
wool alone is employed. The pro
cesses and apparatus necessar'
for making hats of fur differ a!s<
from those required in the case o
woolen bodies: and in large manu
facturies. especially in America
machinery is generally employe!
; for operations which formerly wen
! entirely manual.
Hatter's fur consists principal^
of the hair of the rabbits (techni
cally called coneys) and hares
with some proportion of nutria
musquash and beaver's hair.thougl
the latter has been for many year
extremely scarce, and general!;
any parings or cutting from furrier
are also used. Fifty years ago th
hatter beat his fur with a bow int
a triangular piece of felt which
when laid together by two straigh
edges, assumed the shape of ,
jcone. The felt was next shrun
1 between cloths which were kep
hot and wet by frequent dipping in
to a kettle of boiling size, care be
ing taken to preserve the triangu
lar shape of the felt.
Having been shrunk to abou
one-third its original size or t
proper dimentions for a hat. thr
conical bag was drawn over a biocl
and tied tightly at the point when
the crown spreads out into a brim
The brim portion was next pulle(
and stretched into shape with ;
special instrument. While on tlv
block the hat was dyed and agair
washed, stiffened and dried. If ;
i long nap was desired, the surfaci
of the felt was carded: while to ob
tain a smooth finish it was rubbed
with pumice stone. It was then
-eadv to be "trimmed." that is. to
have the band, binding lining and
sweatband put on. B:;u mug with
• he cutting of the fur. Lii ■
;esses are now operated by electi
;al automatic machinery.

Old Trinity church, in the heart
of downtown New York, is Lh<
richest church in the world. It
year-book, just issued, is like <.
government report in its bulk and,
variety of subjects. It is estimated
that the church's holdings of proi
j erty are worth $75,000,000. It
income last year was $890,000.
While the policy formerly was to
keep all the workings of the church
secret, so much scandal developed
several years ago that now every
thing is made public. There arr
8.600 members. 3.600 in the Sun
day school and 3.500 in the da\
schools which the church main
! tains.

How to
Remit Money
BE]
Dank Money Orders make the best form of remittance
better than postoffice or express money orders. They cost
less. You don't have to fill out a complicated "application
blank." If a bank money order is lost or stolen vou get your
money back without trouble, red tape or delay. Another
thing: If the party you send the money to claims ho did not
receive it. you can come to the bank and get the records and
documents to prove th5.t you sent it. A S 1 00 Bank Money
Order costs only 2f> cents just half as much as postofTice or
express orders.
