a Prompt Reply.

A temperance lecturer was describ-
ing to his audience how his life had
been influenced by total abstinence.
"You know" he said, that am now
head of my business. Four years ago
there were two men in our Office who
held positions above mine. One was
dismissed through drunkenness. the
other was led into crime and is now in
prison, and all through that evil drink,
the invention of the wicked! Now,
what l ask is" he cried, what has
raised me to my present high posi-
tion?"
Drink was the unexpected reply
he received from member of his au-
dience.

Hnm Animals Learn.

DIR. T. Zell. German naturalist. Has
collected many instances to prove that
animals learn by experience and thus
become wiser thm1 their uninstructed
parents. Game animals of all kinds,
he AYERS. have learned the range of
modern rifles. Greyhounds quickly
learn to let rabbits alone, and fox
hounds pay no attention to either ab-
bits or hares. Killer whales and gulls
follow whaling vessels, just as vul-
lures follow an army. Crows Begin to
accompany the chamois hunter as
soon as they have seen the result OF
his first successful shot, and pough
legged buzzardFs follow the sportsman
after winged game. The number Of
birds that kill or injure themselves
by flying against telegraph wires Is
much smaller than it used to be. DR..
Zell also refers to the fact that
birds and quadrupeds have learned to
disregard passing railway trains, as
horses quickly cease to be frightened
by automobiles. His instances of the
intelligent election exercised by sheep
dogs are familiar to all.

Babylonian ruins seals still are found,
and 1t is certain that their use passed
from those countries to Greece anG

from England to America. Originally
they were set in rings The earliest

Contrast In Metal Workers Wages.
The United Metal Workers of the
Pacific Coast have compiled statistics
showing the wages on the coast as
compared with those paid on the same
labor in the east, 1t appears that
wages per hour in the metal working
and shipbulldlng trades on the Pacific
coast are considerably higher than In
the east, while the hours worked per
week are usually less, so that the con-
trast in the weekly wage is not 50
great as In the hourly wage.
These statistics show that black
smiths on the coast average 1882
cents an hour as against 30.46 cents In
the east. Boilermakers receive 4S.77
in San Francisco as against 1922 In
the east; machlnists 1926 on the coast,
1000 In the east; molders on the coast
1888, $500 in the east; pattern makers
average 4s.35 cents per hour on the
coast and $3.50 In the east. The high
est wages in the skilled trades on the
coast are paid In San Francisco, and
In Seattle usually the lowest are paid.
Common labor receives 24.42 cents an
hour on the coast and an average Of
1854 in the east, but in the east the
week is longer by nearly two hours.
The week for metal workers In the
east is from two to three hours longer
than on the coast. The average wage
per hour in the Pennsylvania ship
yards Is IS cents lower than in Cali.
fornia and the week longer by over
two hours.

GRAsPNG AT sTRAws,

Grasplng at straws is the pastime
OF the hackers of the Hubbard Dollar
White ticket. They now come out
with q boyle mainland say boo-to
the effect that Boyd Hamilton was a
member OF the finance committee
that turned down the library appro.
priation during his term on the coun-
Gil. The statement is half truth and
half false, as Mr.. Hamilton was a
member Of the committee. but at the
time the library matter was being
considered he was absent from the
city and had nothing to do with the
killing OF the appropriation. That
puts an end to this falsehood. And
were II possible to prove that Mr..
Hamilton did participate In the ac-
ton OF the committee we simply refer
the supporters of the library to the
pledge OF Mr.. Hamilton and all other
candidates on the Peoples Progress
alive Improvement ticket to take care
OF the library and that pledge is over
their signatures as 1t represents the
wishes OF the candidates. framed By
themselves, and we believe all are
honorable men whose pledge Is good
These candidates are also pleded on
other public matters over their sigma
turs and we have every reason to be-
lieVe they will carry out those
pledges. Register and vote the Peo-
Pies Progressive Improvement ticket
headed by Boyd Hamilton for mayor
and you win make no mistake.

NOT CANDIDATES, JUST BOSSES

NOT CANDIDATES, JUST BOSSES.
The Journal says that "If the pur-
blind Press could clear It's vision
long enough to glance at the munich
pal horizon 1t would see that neither
J. G. White nor William Dollar are
running for mayor" The Journal
might have gone farther and stated
that neither one cares to run for may
or 30 long as they can put up tick
ct which they may control. But the
Journal seems to think that the pub
Usher OF the Press is running for
ONCE, II one Is to Judge from the
amount OF space devoted TO him. The
fact Il that the Citizens ticket was
made by White and Dollar and they
seized upon the popular question Of
municipal ownership Of the water
works for the purpose of foollng the
people into supporting their ticket.
Mr.. Dollar Is now a director OF the
Consumers Company and It's treasur-
or; he is a stokholder OF the Koot-
email Power company and It's treasur-
or, and the funds Of both the com
Danies are kept In his bank, and If
there IL a voter in this city who
doubts the statement we want them
TO 30 to the Office of the company and
ask pointedly IL this is not true. We
do not believe that 1t will be denied.
and II II Is true. why Is Mr.. Dollar de-
voting time and money to the election
OF the Hubbard ticket? Ask yourself
that question and then II you are
fooled again 1t will be your own fault.
Mr.. White boosted at the recent
meeting OF the school board that he
was not a servant Of the people and
would deny the ladies who were there
the right Of petition. He settled that
himslf and declared himself superior
TO the people, He Is not q candidate,
but Is n manipulation and wishes to
be boss Of the city as well as car of
the school district, 1t is this machine
rule that the people object to in Mr..
Dollar and Mr.. White.
