STRIKE ISTHREATENED

Pittsburg." Jan. '20. Hacked by
the American Federation of Labor,
workmen in 31 bis steel mills today
stand ready to walk out in a great
labor movement against non-uniou-hm.
This was tlie declaration here o
iay of Thomas Flynn. an organizer
for the labor federation, who assert
ed the strikes at Rankin and Brad
dock, near here. involving employes
of the American Steel and Wire
Company, a steel trust subsidiary, is
to be followed by the greatest indus
trial struggle 'u the history of union
ism. Color is lent to Flynn's statement
by the presence here of Frank Mor
rison, secretary of the American Fed
eration of Labor, who is keeping in
close touch with the situation.,. Mor
rison is in "constant communication
with Samuel Gompers, president of
the federation, and Congressman
Stanley, head of the house commit
tee which recently investigated the
steel corporation. Stanley's state
ment in Washington today, in which
he declared that "the steel trust is
forcing thousands of persons into in
human slavery," and Ms request to
Morrison for all possible informa
tion, is believed here to indicate that
if the labor federation declares war
on the steel trust it will be fol
lowej Ly a congressional probe.
Flynn would not say just when
other steel employes would be or
dered out, but he made it plain that
the struggle. at. Braddoekand Ran
kin is but a forerunner of what is to
come.
Hoimi-l Confirmed.
San Francisco, Jan. 30. Con
firmation of the Pittsburg report
that the American Federation of
lAbor is to wage war against the
United States Steel Corporation was
obtained hero today from Congressman-elect
John 1. Nolan of San
Francisco, one of the foremost lead
ers of labor on the Pacific coast.
"The declaration at Pittsburg of
Thomas Flynn, an organizer for the
federation," saW Nolan today, "that
the strikes at Raakin and Braddock
foreshadow-..' i4,uatrjal. -.struggle, is
true. There is, however, uo manu
facturing steel ptaut in San Fran
cisco, and .theff,f$ttieno''e1ty: ,orih the
Pacific coast will be directly affect
ed. "The plans for a general on
slaught of unionism against the steel
trust were really started at the labor
convention at Atlantic City, when
reports were made showing that all
steel plants of the east are non
union and that immediate organiza
tion is necessary. A policy to that
end was adored and it now looks as
though the fight is about to be start
ed." THE GARDEN OF EDEN
HoNton Archaeologist Asserts Tliat
It Whs Iiornted Near Klamath
Falls, Oregon.
Boston, Feb. 4. That Cain, the
son of Adam, established the first
city in America, near Klamath Falls,
Oregon, and that it was to this city,
c alled Enoch, that the people of Asia
fled in part to escape the flood, Js
the assertion of Charles Hallock, Ph.
I)., an archaeologist, in a report to
the Peabody Museum at Harvard.
The region about Euoch was
known throughout tradition as the
1-and of Peach. It was a communal
settlement. Great personal fortunes
were divided among the laborers.
Just before the deluge, Dr. Hallock
says the discoveries show, many
routes extended out from the city,
and gold probably was brought up
from California.
The actual discoveries on the Pa
cific coast regarding the city have
consisted of stone, bone and metal
tools at various levels, traces of rude
machinery, including ships and air
ships, and inscriptions and picto
graphs of what appear to have been
lempleB.
Some great cataclysm rendered
useless the aqueducts and irrigating
canals of the place. Disjointed rec
ords of this catastrophe are inscribed
upon monoliths and porticos, accord
ing to report.
North America is asserted to be
the Biblical Land of Nod. lying to
the east of Eden. Cain migrated
there, and, although the population
was eparso. built the new city. The
Land of Nod was luferentially the
birthplace of the allegorical Adam,
"from where be was taken when the
Lord established him iu the Garden
of Eden."
A course in peual studies was re
cently instituted by the University of
Montpeiier, Franco. Physicians, pub
licists, lawyers, police and court offi
cials were anion? those who enrolled
for the course.

ENCOURAGE CHILDREN
Vacant It Should Ite Turned Over
to Them Hy Owners for Gar
dening Purposes.
In every town and city there are
many vacant lots growing up to
weeds that might just as well be
producing garden and flowers, thus
adding beauty and utility to the city
instead of being an eyesore. Many
of these lots are owned by non-residents
and others who would be glad
to donate the use of them to the
children. Almost every town or
community has its parent-teachers'
circle, civic board and perhaps other
organizations, and they and the
school board should get together and
from their membership appoint a,
committee, whose duty it shall be to
secure the use of them for the chil
dren and arrang.) to have them
plowed and fenced, when necessary.
In appointing these committees do
not overlook the ladies, for in our
experience we have found them
adepts at such work. It would also
be their duty to plan and manage
the' local contests, provide prizes for
same and to select exhibits to be for
warded to the State Fair, and to
show the children how to pack,
mark, enter and ship them. The
teacher is not always qualified to do
this work, and has about all he can
do besides. Then when school closes
and perhaps the teacher leaves the
town the children need help and en
couragement which this committee
can give.
In every town cad city are many
children who have little or nothing
to do outside of school hours. No
healthy child can be idle, and with
out some direction of his activities
and some provision of a proper ave
nue through which to vent them,
they are apt to be wasted. It is not
so much the fault of these children
if they get into mischief and form
habits of idleness, and possibly vic
lousness, as it is the fault of par
ents, guardians and others for not
providing interesting and profitable
employment for them. To aid in
providing this employment and mak
iug it attractive and profitable is the
object of the industrial contest move
ment inaugurated last year. To
make this a perfect success it must
have the co-operation of parents,
teachers, school boards and all pub-lie-spirited
citizens, and we know of
no better way in which they can help
than as above suggested. Try it.

parent-teachers' circle call a meeting

Old Ago.
Old age as it comes in the orderly
process of nature is a beautiful anil
majestic thing. It Btands for experi
ence, knowledge, wisdom, counsel.
That is old age as it should be, but
old age as it often is means poor
digestion, torpid bowels, a sluggish
liver and a general feeling of ill
health, despondency and misery.
This in almost every instance is
wholly unnecessary. Ono of Cham
berlain's Tablets taken immediately
after Hupper will improve the diges
tion, tone up the liver and regulate
the bowels. That feuling of de
spondency will give way to one of
hope and good cheer. For sale by

GOD'S RAINBOW COVENANT.
Genesis 8:1 9:17 Feb. 9.
" do tet Uy bow in the cloud, and it AoK
be for a token of a covenant between He and
the earth." Utneeie 9 us.
RICHER Critics refer us to clay
tablets fouud in Babylonia as
the earliest record of the
Noachlan Deluge. These rep
resent In outline Noah and a boat, and
contain a few words descriptive of the
Flood. This we are asked to accept as
superior to the Genesis account. Wo
are amazed! and recall to mind the
prophecy which discusses our day. say
ing. "The wisdom of their wise men
shall perish, and the understanding of
their learned men shall not be appar
ent." (Isaiah 29:14.) For our part, the
logical, reasonable statements of Gen
esis resecting the Flood are a hun
dred times more trustworthy thaa the
crude Babylonian record.
Noah and his family dreaded another
deluge. God called their attention to
the rainbow, assuring them that never
igain would the whole earth be flood
'Hl. Because earth's last "ring" had
oome down, there could not be another
deluge. Since the
Flood, we have
moisture in the
form of clouds.
Prior to the
Flood, the sun
shone through the
watery envelope
as a great ball of
Are. Hence no
rainbow was pos
sible. But now
fine vapors in the The dove with the olive
direct line of the
sun's rays naturally cause the rainbow.
As God declares, so long as there Is
a rainbow, there can never be a flood.
The Tower of Babel.
Centuries afterward, the worldly
wise of that time undertook the build
lug of a great tower, anticipating an
other deluge. Since they disregarded
God's promise. lie let them manifest
their folly In unavailing sweat of face.
When they were wearied by their her
culean task and had learned valuable
lessons, God confounded their lan
guage. Separated in tongue and Inter
est, they scattered. Gradually man
ners, customs and color of skin became
dissimilar. Thus the various races
with their peculiarities of temperament
and language bad their start. St. Paul
remarks that this was premeditated on
God's part as being most favorable for
the outworking of Divine purposes.
The separation of mankind Into dif
ferent nationalities and the barriers of
language kept tbe peoples apart for
centuries. But since steam became ef
fective for tmnsportatlon, tbe commin
gling of nations Is breaking down na
tional barriers aud favoring human co
operation. Since mankind are sinners
by nature, their co-operation fa usual
ly selfish and therefore evil.
Today rich corporations are build
ing a great Tower of Babel for protec
tion against calamity. Likewise the
laboring classes are building a great
Tower of Unionism, to deliver them
from all adversity. Except for the dis
persion and the language barriers,
these worldwide organizations would
have developed long ago and precipi
tated the final great conflict "a time
of trouble such as never was since
there was a nation." Daniel 12:1.
Fire, the Next Calamity.
St. Peter divides human history Into
three great Epochs, called "worlds" In
our common version Bible. The first
Epoch ended with the Flood, where
the present Epoch began, styled by St.
Paul, "This present evil world." St
Peter says that the present world will
le ended by a deluge of "fire." Then
will follow a new "world." or order of
things. "The world to come." will be
an Epoch of Righteousness, under
Messianic supervision.
Bible students formerly understood
St. Peter's words to signify literal fire,
to consume the physical earth and
heavens. Closer study shows that the
fire Is symbolic,
and will consume
everything con
trary to the Di
vine will. The
"elements" to

These will become iuvolved In the
strife between Capital and Labor, and

Christ Jesus Is the Ark of Safety for
all who will be saved from the pres
ent order. Ills followers will become
with Him the "new heavens" the
spiritual ruling power of Messiah's
Kingdom. Under their supervision a
new social order will 1k inaugurated.
and selfishness will be ellinlnitted.
Although many lives will be lost in
that trouble which ends this Age. the
great mass of mankind will remain.
Social, financial mid ecclesiastical ar
rangements will have perished, and
everything be put on n new basis by
Messiah. The Lord tells us that fol
lowing the fiery trouble lie will send
mankind a pure Message, "that they i
may all cnll upon the name of the
Lord to serve Him with one consent."
(Zephnninh 3:0. Mankind will not be
wholly destroyed by that fiery trouble.

Divine Grace promulgated In the fu

all that will receive It will be great.
AFTER- THE TREE KILIJCRH.
Indiana Take Warpath Against For
est Insects.
The Black Hills- beetle, which,
through neglect to apply the proper
methods of control at the proper
time, killed, during the period from
1897 to 1907. more than a billion
feet board measure of the merchant
able sized timber in the Black Hills
of South Dakota, was found in 1911
to be threatening similar devasta
tions in the valuable timber of the
Tongue River Indian Reservation of
the Cheyenne Indians In southeast
ern Montana.
A co-operative beetle control
project was organized in which the
branch of forest insects of the Bu
Teau of Entomology, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, gave advice and
instructions, the Indian service of
the Department of the Interior fur
nished the funds and the Cheyenne
Indians did the work.
Eleven thousand and seventeen
trees were cut and barked between
July 1. 1911, and July 1, 1912, In
order to destroy the beetles. The
fact that a' large percentage of the
trees which harbored the beetles was
sawed into lumber by mills installed
for that purpose resulted in a total
net cost of but $903.53 against a
probable saving for the next ten
years, in the stumpage value of the
trees, estimated at 75,000 to 125,
000. Special Offer.
