A long after the Thanksgiving dinner is ever so elaborate, and served with ever so of much Of its joy were there not com fortable chair at hand, or some bright rugs to light up the library or parlor, or some hangings of richness in the rooms such as curtains, portieres or draperes of some sort. Sentinentally it is very beautiful to say that 'love makes home of a hove," but it's much more sensible and true to say that ''when poverty comes in at the door, love flies out at the window Real .'home'' is made up of many ingredients; some large, some medium, some small helps. But every little bit added to what you have makes little bit more.
 Today we're going to help some. We're going to have sale of some thousands of yards of room-size carpets of various kinds, and of shorter lengths of carpets, called for convenience odds and short pieces, just to make the bare spots on the floor look more cheerful. And we'll add to this over 1900 rugs of every size, from room down to tWo-foot square. And into the lot we'll put some pieces of lnoleums- just short lengths, to be used in the bath room or

Almost daily one reads in the newspa-
pers something about the strike agitator-
The people have come to regard the strike
agitator as a sort of crawling, Shiny rep
tile that wiggIes its way through life in
social and industrial sloughs, preying ever
on that which, like a snake, he attempts
to charm.
Bingham Junction has one of these crea-
lures. IT doesn't matter what his name
is, for he evidently is ashamed of it, for
he refused to tell ii yesterday. Bingham
functions strike agitator is man of
mOnstrous proportions He wears black
shirt with tin button at the neck At
first glance he looks like a workingman,
but he has no callous on his hands, nei-
Their has he the face of one who is honest,
thrifty and industrious He talks much
1t is his business to talk much how else
could he live and prosper?
One of those whose daily bread depends
upon the quality and accuracy of the in
formation which they seek and deliver ap-

the question:

Standard in Valley.
THE pipe filters. machinists. boiler ma
kerS and blacksmiths acknowledge that
their rate of pay is the standard in the
valley, and their only complaint was that
the smoke was worse than at other smell
tiers. To meet this objection the com
pany agreed to make eight hours work
count for day provided the men had to
work in smoky place for four hours or
more. II also agreed to shut the copper
plant down and put in a BATTLE in the
stack. which it is hoped will improve
the draft and thus reduce the trouble
from smoke

enabled Otis Skinner to achieve Il triumph.
New York playgOers who had witnessed
his previous fine characterizatiOns were
astOunded by the mastery characterized

fresh phases of SINNERS genius --The

goers and therein lies the secret of the
great success it won both in Paris and in
New York.

Wages Are Compared.

After canvassing the sentiment of the
employees as fully possible, the manage
ment of the United States smelter is sat
iSfied that a very large proportion OF the
men would return to work at once II 1t
were not for the aggressivenesS of Few

trouble.
Mr.. Prosser the metallurgical manager
of the company said last night that the
advance in the scale for lead furnace
men made their scale uniform with the
wages paid by all the other Smelters in
the valley, both lead and copper. When
he was asked why the lead men had been
raised to s.. 70 while no advance had been
given the copper Smeltermen, Mr. ProSSer
said; There is the best reason for that.
1t is somewhat in question whether the
copper plant can be maintained in compe-
titiOn with other copper plants here. Ours
is a custom copper plant competing with
other concerns in the market for the ores
of the market. The price of copper does
not affect its earnings materially one way
or the other. OF the 100 tons of copper
made at the smelter each month only
very small proportion comes from the
mines of the company in this state All
of the other custom ores are simply puT-
chased on a basis which allows the COM
pany a certain toll per ton for treatment.
and this margin does not vary with the
price Of copper.
Is Hardly Warranted.
Again, it was considered that the diff
ference between the wage paid on the cop
per furnace, that is. s. for the tappers,
and on the lead furnace $3.50. was hardly
warranted by the actual work done. The
new scale gives the lead men 1915, thus
reducing the difference between the two
positions.
1.-THE lead plant men said they were well
satisfied as they would now get the Muir
ray scale, but felt they should support
the copper men. because about a month
or six weeks ago the lead men sent in
petition which was not favorably acted
upon. The company replied that this pc
titiOn was received when there was prac-
tically a financial panic, and under those
conditions lit could not then consider an
advance in wages. The company further
explained that the advance to the lead
plant men made May 10 had nothing to
do with the petition of the copper plant
men. because the scale was settled upon
before any petition was received from the
copper blast furnace men,
I'm other words, the company consid-
cred the claims of the lead blast furnace
