FOR SMALL
RESIDENCE SITES
INCREASES

Real estate men in Spokane re-
port a general picking up in their
line of business during the last
week. Much attention is being paid
to outlying residence property and
to fruit land adjacent to the city.
Within the city limits most of the
sales are confined to the small resi-
dence properties, and many home
seekers are still coming into the
city, and the small North Side resi-
dence property is declared to be
most in demand at the present time.

A home for aged and disabled
painters, decorators and paper
hangers, establishment of a pen
sioning fund and system and the
construction of a school in which to
add the finishing touches to the ed
ucation in this art to new beginners
is likely to be among the next steps
taken by the international organic
alton of these craftsmen. A COM
mittee. appointed at the recent con-
yention of the International Union
of Painters. Decorators and Paper
hangers. is in the field at the pres
ent time, preparing report on all
three of these proposed new feat
ures, according to an announce
ment that has been made by Vice
President Hunt, elected to interna-
tional office from this city.
Nothing has yet been discussed
Regarding the location of the old
PAINTERS home. but bids have been
received for that purpose. 1t is
likely that the school if such an in
sfitution is constructed, will be
built In one of the middle western
cities, where men may finish their
education in the art of painting
and decorating after serving two
years of apprenticeship. AS it is
now, without such school, it is
declared that many of the young
PAINTERS go out as experienced men
after serving their three years ap-
premiership but are not competent
men.
Vice President Hunt reports con-
ditions throughout the United
States in fair condition with the

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE long-felt
want for a system of labor ex-
changes" has at last been supplied
in Great Britain. Scattered all over
the country they are in full work
ing>0rder and already doing a great
deal to mitigate the horrors of un
employment.
Winston Churchill, president of
the board of trade, is the parent of
the labor exchanges. The labor ex-
change has two aims:
1t registers the unemployed who
want work.
IL registers the employer who
wants workmen.
When this is done 1t tries to fit
one to the other.
For instance, three-quarters or
the bricklayers of London are out
Of employment. The use of con-
crete In building and the steel
frame system of construction has
ruined their trade. But
there may be employers in Wales
or Scotland who want the services
OF bricklayers. The labor exchange
takes note OF this fact and not only
puts the two in contact. but even

DRY FARMING MEN

, John T. Burns, secretary-treas-
urer of the dry farming congress,
and R. w. Thatcher, director of
agriculture of Washington Agricul-
tural college and member OF the
board of governors of the dry farm
ing congress, will be guests at the
Farmers Union, No. 55, at Waverly.
next Thursday at special meet
ing, banquet and farmers lnstl-
tute, arrangements for which are
being made by A. D. Thayer, mayor
of Waverly and member of the
Washington board of control OF the
congress.
The Farmers Union will meet at
10 o'clock in the morning for
two hours session. At 2 o'clock
in the afternoon dinner will be
served, at which Mr.. Burns and
Professor Thatcher will be the
guests of honor The dinner Will
be followed with an institute ses-
sion.
Mr.. Burns will speak on the dry
farming congress and It's work, lay
ing special stress on the Importance
and significance of the fifth annual
session, which will be held here the
second week in October. Professor
Thatcher will discuss conservation
problems and dry farming methods.
This is the first of series OF
meetings to be held in various parts
of the state for the purpose OF
bringing the dry farming congress
and it's work directly to the atten-
ton of the farmers of this state.
Mayor Thayer says the farmers In
that vicinity were deeply Interested
in the work and were planning for
liberal representation in the Inter
national Dry Farming exposition, to
take place here IN connection with
the fifth congress.

pays the cost of transporting work
men and families to the places
where they can find employment.
OF course labor exchanges are not
going to make England a paradise
of employment. They cannot make
work They can only try to regu-
late supply and demand. All the
same it is the first effort of the
state to regulate the affairs of labor
to the best possible advantage.
This is what Winston Churchill
told an interviewer: People must
not expect too much from labor ex-
changes. | have never claimed for
them a higher position than they
can really occupy. in fact. They are
a piece of social mechanism, abso-
lutely essential, / believe, to any
well-ordered community. But, of
course. they will have their diff
culties. No doubt they will make
many mistakes and create some dis

pie would AZ soon do without their
