You'd Better Stay Away

Things are dull in San Francisco,
'On the bum" in New Orleans;
"Rawther punk in cultured Boston
Famed for Goldfish, pork and beans
"On the hog" in Kansas City,
Out in Denver things are Jared,
And they're "beefing'' in Chicago
That the times are rather hard.
Not much doing in st. Louis,
It's the same in Baltimore;
Coin don't rattle in Seattle
AS it did in days of yore.
Jobs are scarce around Atlanta,
All through Texas it Is still;
And there's very little stirring
In the town Of Louisville.
There's a howl from Cincinnati,
New York City, Brooklyn, too;
In Milwaukee's foamy limits
There's little work to do;
In the face of all such rumors
1t seems not amiss to say,
That no matter where you're going
You'd better stay away.

Squaw Is Suffragist

CALUSA, Cal.-Fifteen Digger In
dams, including one Squaw. from
Rancheria, north of this city, were
brought to Colusa by the Rev. E. Z.
Collett. field superintendent of In
dian affairs in the Sacramento valley,
to be registered as voters. Captain
Odock and his wife Irene were
among those registered. Irene is
thought to be the first Indian woman
in California to be converted to the
suffrage cause. All these Indians are
able to read and write have good
homes and are Industrious. Some of
them were among those who partici-
pated in the big wedding celebration

ly allied with the fruit growing in
dustry. Canning, preserving and pick
ling factories, all of them operating
to utilize the by-products of the fruit
growing sections, will grow and thrive
when it is demonstrated that they
have an equal chance to market their
product in this and in distant lands
where the demand is increasing every
year.
Lewiston and Charleston have been
pioneering in the matter of cannerics
and the valleys of the Yakima can
profit by their experience.

CARRYING GOALS TO NEWCASTLE

is it possible to raise fruit in the
valleys of the Columbia and can the
product and ship it to California and
compete successfully in the markets
there for the local trade? This ia a
question of very vital interest to the
fruit growing sections III Washington,
Oregon and Idaho, and the fact that
the canning companies at lewiston
Charleston are shipping their product
to San Diego to market is a matter of
special importance.
In their study of the possibilities for
marketing their product the sales
agent for the INSTRUMENTATION can
neries found that if they could ship
their product by the open river boats
to Portland and down the coast on
steamers that they could land their
goods in California and compete with
the product of the California can
neries. The first trip of the open river
steamers this week took out 1900
cases of canned goods for San Diego,
and this is thought to be the begin
ming of an extensive trade between
these points
This is indeed carrying Goals to
Newcastle. But the most significant
Fact in this connection is that it illus
trates the possibility of extending our
market for fruit products even into
the confines of region that is itself
a big fruit producer, and if this is
possible we are certainly in a position
to compete with these countries in
the markets of the world, With the
reduction of freight rates made pos
sible by the all-water route in hand
ling the output of the canneries the
valleys of the Columbia may market
their canned fruits anywhere in the
world in successful competition with
California.
With this assurance the possibilities
of the canning Industry become great.
IT opens a large field for promoting
al sorts Of enterprises that are direct

GROWTH OF THE CIVIC CENTER
IDEA

BY an overwhelming vote San Fran
cisco authorized the issuance of
100000 in bonds for the construc-
ton of a group of. buildings to be
used as civic center for the people
of that city. Never since the days of
the famous Forum at Rome have the
people of any country recognized the
need for such an institution. The civic
center idea has grown upon the coun-
try amazingly within the past few
years. There has been felt the need
for some institution that will tend to
bring the people together, to break
down class distinctions and let them
and work out the problems of in
dustrial peace and civic betterment.
The use of the school house as a
social and recreation center is getting
fresh impetus all over the country
Long strides are being made in this
direction in some of the large cities.
1t is announced that New York City
has forty-five school buildings which
are now used as recreation centers,
and the superintendent of the city
schools recommends sthe increase of
this number to 100 and he supple
ments this by urging upon the board
OF education the advisability and
necessity of providing each of these
centers with moving picture APP
paratus.
The civic center holds this wide
range that whatever pertains to social
entertainment is also of educational
value and that the city has a respon-
sibility in furnishing as wholesome an
atmosphere in this regard as in any
otheh. 1t must be recognized that
people for amusement, and if the
authorities do not help to provide 1T
there are individuals, who, for the
SHANGHAI profit there is in it, that will
offer entertainment that is question:
able if not a real menace.
1t is thus that we find growing up
in the country demand for a public
playground, where under normal re-
straint and intelligent direction the
children can indulge in play. an exer-
else of normal energy that if not al
lowed to be spent in this manner may
manifest itself in the form of ma
licious mischief. And for the youth
of the land and those older grown the
public is demanding that the authori-
ties provide social centers of enter
tainment and for the training of the
citizen civic centers combining COM
mon interest in a truly democratic
way.
