Yonkin and Clampitt voted against
the measure, Yonkin because he did
not want the money spent to pay the

camps and teach the men how to play
games" in his own words, and Clam

come out of the aqueduct funds, al

this could not be done legally.

had protested against the appropria-

struck two large pines close to

That no one was hurt was a

tinguished without difficulty. The
loss was only $50.

PRINTERS, BANKERS

fact that there are no printers in

men to take up their residence in
the place doesn't pay, not even a
printers devil having responded.

marks sarcastically that II the
dozen or more bankers in the

THE CHAIRMAN
CELEBRATED

Every properly constructed COM
posing room has a shop organiza-
ton known in printers parlance as
the chapel. A chairman is elected
to preside over the chapel. His
function is to exercise a fatherly
and benign Influence over the
guileless printer.
One of the attributes of the
properly constructed chapel is the
hobo" fund. This is the ungainly
title attached to a really good fell
low proposition. designed for the
material and spiritual benefit Of
any brother who may drop in need
ing friendly financing on his way.
When no such brother develops,
the fund is divided or invested ere
1t becomes too plethoric. This and
other common funds repose in GUS
tody of the chairman. 1t is his de-
light to corral the gang" before
they escape Saturday night and
collect of each his portion.
The other day a certain Spokane
chairman was found to be possess
ed of an uncommonly corpulent
hobo fund. 1t occurred to the
chapel that a psychological moment
had arrived for declaring Fourth
of July dividend. With proper
obeisance they made their wishes
known to the chairman. The chair
sternly asked to be shown that par
ticular rule or order whereby he
was expected to extract Fourth of
July funds for patriotic printers
out of the hobo" fund
When a printer can't cite a
precedent or authority you've got
him, although you usually have to
travel long and rocky road to do
it. The chairman won.
He then asked to be shown a
rule of order forbidding chair
man to devote the hobo" fund to
the chairman's own personal
Fourth of July. Once more the
printers precedent and authority
cases were empty. He had neglect
ed to throw in any type of that
font. The chairman celebrated.
Now he proposes to raise the
assessment.
