A PRINTERS DREAM

Jack Collins sat gloomily in his
Office, lingering a letter he had just
written, and looked out on the
muddy streets of Eureka. Up and
down the board sidewalks a few
people were going, and at the
hitching racks were the mud
splashed teams and vehicles of the
farmers who had come to town.
1t was a small town-too small.
Collins reflected, as the bitter
thoughts ran through his mind, and
he laid the letter down. The letter
was addressed to Maude Herndon,
the daughter of the banker at Con-
way, the county seat The banker
was also the owner of the prosper
Gus daily paper there, and Collins
felt that he was qualified to make
a success as its managing editor,
but he hesitated to ask for the
place, or to ask the girl to marry
him. He added the columns of fig
ures on a sheet before him and
said, half aloud:
Shell never marry a printer"
He tore the letter into frag-
ments and threw them into the
waste basket. Once more he con-
templated the dreary scene outside,
and, turning away from it with a
look of disgust on his face, called
over the partition that separated

Long before Chaucer's time it
was commonly held that the birds
began to mate on Feb. IA. Twit-
tering and cooling that finally
leads to nest building and a brood
of downy birds to feed, began to
assume vital meaning on that day.
The English maid believes the
first man she meets on st. Valen-
tines day will be her future hus-
band.
So Phyllis of the Devon lanes

sweetheart home or stays indoors

ments the modern man usually

HOME INDUSTRY AND SHORT WEIGHTS

The 100000 club owes duty to the community that
should be faithfully performed before the home industry
campaign goes step farther One of the most audabe
objects of that organization is the promotion of patriotic
interest in the industrial welfare of Spokane that will
steady home market for the products of local indus
tries The of this movement means money
in local circulation, homes, happiness more
business
1t the substitution of local industrial character
and stability for dependence on other cties promotion
of Spokane interests against outside competitors
No effective field of public endeavor presents it.
self to the 100000 organization and intelligent coopera
ton in the movement will certainly make for the pros
perty and progress of the whole city in other
method can supply.
But the club cannot consistently ask the to
confne himself far possible to the purchase of home
products unless the be that he is get
ting what he is paying for The work of the city weight
inspector in very brief period of activity has proved
conclusvey that this has been lacking in the
past to such extent that home industry patrons in the
single item of -four alone have undoubtedly been swim
died out of thousands of dollars.
Whether this swindle purposely or accidentally
perperated need not the club much securing
guarantees that it will not be repeated in future The diff
ference between deliberate swnde and the sort of
lessness of management that overooks faulty scales for
months and discovers the fault until it is called
sharply to attention by officer is not of sufficient magn
tude to attract the attention of any officials other than
those concerned with criminal prosecution.
But there other necessities of life manufactured in
Spokane, all of which carefully noted in the club s
reference list supplied consumers gratis.
Can the club be certain that the goods it is recommend
ing to the purchaser the things he ought to buy in pref
to others weigh up to the standard the
patron is given every to believe he is getting for
his money?
Wherever short weight develops in any of these
tices the 10000 club by of it's recommendations
becomes party to the swnde It's moral responsibility
for the flour graft is something worthy careful consider
alton for some time.
That lessen should be sufficient and its remem-
brance and enforcement be aided to better purpose

weights on all home products the market

able for cities as for individuals

pushing the amateur off the boards
on the ever popular amateur
nights.
It's the amateurs fault. There
are not enough of him.
All the vaudeville houses have
amateur nights. Volunteers go on
the stage and do turn. If the
audience applauds they get IS, but
if the crowd Kisses and boots them
Off the stage. as ii usually does,
they get nothing.
So great has the demand for
amateurs become that there are
not enough to go around. Unless
the amateur has fairly good act
he will not brave the criticism of
the gallery Consequently there's
a woeful shortage of the real
"hams" whom the audiences enjoy
because of their absolute rank
ness.
This has brought out the profes.
sional "ham." He gets himself up
as awkwardly as possible and goes
on deliberately to do a rotten act
The audience bowls. He is dragged
from the stage with big hook or
in some other ludicrous manner
Everybody is happy, including the
"ham."

cHESTER'S GUN

While Bailiff Chester Edwards
was getting the records of the mu-

vaults yesterday morning he eft
his Al Colt revolver on the courts
bench. A negro trustee, named
George Owens, promptly appro-
priated the gun and bolted for

trustee was missing, shamefacedly
went to Sergeant Sullivan and con-
fessed. Every secondhand man in
town was notified and given de-
scription of the missing chocolate
