Portland, Me-, August 29.-Colonel
Dunmoody, the chief officer in charge
OF the signal corps Of the defending
forces during the war maneuvers In his
report to the War Department will say
that the most valuable signal system
used was that of wireless telegraphy
and there has been almost as lively a
contest between the army and navy

sailors.
The army station has interpreted nu-
merous messages sent from ship to ship
OF the fleet and had furnished news to
the defending forces of almost every
attack that was 10 take place and the

FOR THE WOMEN

A Chicago woman has just cremated
the body of her fourth husband. 1t
isn't fair-that some women should
have husbands to burn, while others
are forced TO live and suffer in the
single state.
Miss Ella May Clemmons, sister of
Mrs. Howard Gould, has just opened
in the Chinese district of San Francisco
the first Catholic Sunday school for
Chinese and japanese ever attempted
there.
Many a girl looks sullen and i'll at
ease II her mother comes into the
room when she is entertaining a young
man friend. The young man is sure to
notice this and mentally mark it down
against the girl.
4 stocking room" has recently been
added to a Kansas City bank. They
have found that many women carried
their money for deposit in their stock
ings, so they furnished a room where
the ladies could get their money in
retirement.
If you can't have everything you
want, stop wanting. This is the first
aid to the unhappy of heart.
Every happy wife knows that her
husband is best man. and every con-
tented husband realizes that his wife
is made of honor.
Now is the time for tired mothers
and fathers to take a'vacation. Take
week off and visit the country fair.
We do hope that the women folks
will learn 20 stop worrying about the
little things and save your strength
for the large worries.

average crop being s5 to 80 per cent,
The heaviest falling OF is in the Eureka
Flat district, where a portion of the
decrease is attributed TO poor farm

PRESIDENT MITCHELL REVIEWS
SITUATION OF MINE WORKERS

Indianapolis. Jan 21.-The first
thing on yesterdays program at the
miners national wage convention was
the reading of John Mitchell's annual
report. The convention met promptly
at o'clock with 900 delegates in their
seats. Mr.. Mitchell received the clos
est attention. His report, which was
voluminous, was in part as follows:
President Mitchell began his address
by impressng upon the delegates the
interest committed to their care. Of
the many important events affecting
the interest and welfare of the toilers
of the country he said, the anthracite
coal strike stood pre-eminent
Vital principles were at stake which
II defeated would have given to the
American labor movement shock
from which it would have required
years to rally and recover. After Civ
ing brief history of the great strike,
including the efforts of the Civic Fed
GRAFTON to settle the controversy be-
tween the miners and operators. the
appointment of the strike commission
by President Roosevelt, and the White
House conference, Mr.. Mitchell con-
tinued:
