NORWAY EXPORTS SEAWEED
An Industry That Has Surpassed
Fishing and Agriculture in
That Country.

Seaweed selling IS the price of GER
tain Norwegian prosperity. The gath
ering of seaweed in southwestern Nor.
way has assumed the proportions of
large industry, which has surpassed
fishing and agriculture in fortune
building. Farmers collect the appar-
emily worthless growth, burn it. and
sell the ashes to representatives of va
rious manufacturing institutions in
other countries. These ashes contain
valuable chemical properties, includ-
ing iodine. Old debts have been paid
and small farms that were isolated and
surrounded by unproductive land have
had their boundaries extended by
draining of marshes and clearing Of
rocky wastes that have not been util.
lied or productive since the stone age.
Twenty years ago there was not NOW

there are mowers, hay rakes. harrows.
and other modern machinery on nearly

ACTING OF THE AMATEUR.

been the wife OF peer Of the realm,
who at one time had been a reiCning
beauty. and who came to me, longing
Tor new experience, and imploring
me to give her an opportunity to appear
upon the stage. In a weak moment
consented, and, as l was producing a
play, L cast her for a part which
thought she would admirably suit
that OF society woman. What that
woman did and didn't do on the stage
passes all belief. She became en-,
tangled in her train, she could neither
sit down nor stand up, she shouted,
she could not be persuaded to remain
at respectful distance. but insisted
upon shrieking into the actors ears,
and she committed all the gaucheries
you would expect from an unframed
country wench. But because every
body Is acting In private life, every
one thinks he can act upon the stage
and there is no profession that has so
many critics. Every individual in the
audience Is a critic, and knows all
about the art of acting. But acting is

Violated Confidence.

No one who follows the news OF the
day or reads political and diplomatic
history can fail to note the frequent
unpleasant stu stions which arise
from violated confidence. Sometimes
1t Is the spoken word which is made
public without authority, but more
OFTEN 1t Is letter, says Youths Com
panion. The most careful writer, II

Suddenly embarrassed. Nor is 1t a
sumcient answer to say that 1t serves

a public man may often say as a
private citizen what propriety would
not allow him to say in his official
capacity. The fault lies in a funda-
mental misconception of the nature
OF letter. Every letter not especial
~ addressed to the public should be
considered confidential until the
writer gives permission for it's pub

show lack OF sense, Of honor, Of
courtesy, or Of all three. The most
despicable action of all is the publica-
uon OF private letter for the sake
OF indicating, or trying to vindicate,
oneself. This whole matter of con-
ndences and the inviolability Of let
ters is one which touches good taste
and good breeding. The real gentle
man will no more be guilty of
breach Of honor in this direction than
he Will be guilty of using against an
opponent q piece of information

MIA Own its Own Electric Light
Plant"
Last weeks Booster in a local
writeup of the proposed fair
grounds advises the council that
it would be a good idea to torego
purchasing the electric light plant
and put a little money into that
enterprise. What the Booster
says on that question may always
be taken as the authorized utter
ance of those who would like to
see a franchise granted. The
idea of a privately owned plant is
not dead by any means. 1t has
been twice beaten in the council,
but there is not the slightest
ground to doubt that if council
could be secured that believes in
granting franchises one will be
given to some combination. The
Booster seeks to lull the public
into quiet by saying The light
plant can be purchased at any
time" Don't you believe it.
The last legislature made it
possible for council to grant fran
chises without the slightest refer
ence to what the people desire.
Submission of the question is
no longer necessary. The coun-
Gil is all supreme.
Therefore Eternal vigilance is
the price of safety" Councilmen
must be kept on guard that will
not grant franchises in any event,
and who will, in every mooted
question effecting public utilities,

dence. AT the present time there

The play itself is strong one,
carrying a distinct plot and
abounding in humorous situations.
While it is not our intent to single
out members of the company for
special mention we cannot help
giving Mrs. Jacob Gish word.
In the soubrette character she
simply took the house by storm.
She possesses a most vivid imagI-
nation combined with a pleasing
personality that makes her an
ideal actress in all soubrette char
acters. Her work was number one

leading man, Chas. Desmond, in
the person Of T. 6. Hersum

moneys worth. Will Hanes, of

NEEDED ACTION.
Labor Commissioner Brake Makes
Important Suggestion.

SAS StdtCu ldSt "CSh III ehiS PoP~'' :
Labor Commissioner Brake was
in town and while here asked
number of our citizens to cooper
ate with him in establishing an
organized effort to supply labor
to those localities that need a
large supply at a given time for a
short time only.
Mr.. Brake is one OF the few off,
cials of this administration that is
doing something more than draw
his salary. He is at present earn
estly endeavoring to provide a
way by which the large amount
of surplus labor in this state MAJ
be utilized in the fruit belt to help
out the farmers and then immedi-
ately removed to other places that
need their services.
Mr.. Brake says there is con-
slant inquiry in his department
for places to work. Boys and
girls in large cities desire employ
ment during the summer and will
come in any number needed to
move our immense fruit crop.
He believes he can secure suf-
6ciently reduced rates to enable
them to come and help us during
our rush.
Why is this not far preferable
to importing foreign labor as is
being advocated by some? The
state il. full of good, decent. white
labor, why not give it the prefer
ence over importations1
In order that Mr.. Brake may be
able to supply the demand he de-
sircs that our heavy employers of
labor take the matter up and
make estimates of how many
hands will be required. He will
then list those who desire work
and at the time they are called
for will be able to send all that
are needed on few hours notice.
To our mind this offers most
satisfactory solution to the emer-
gency labor situation. We can
fix wages in advance and thus re-
move all excuse for misunder-
standing. We can have plenty
OF help when it is needed and get
rid of it as soon as the necessity
for its presence is past. Fruit
countries need a vast amour, of
emergency labor, for time, last
ing only few weeks, and impor-
tations must be made. The pres
ent season is one when, if the
signs mean any thing, we shall
need large number of people
for few weeks, smaller number
for a few months, after which our
own people will be able to handle
the crop.
Is it not a good idea to take
this matter up and secure esti-
mates of what number of people
we will probably need and advise
Mr.. Brake and let him place the
