Duluth, July IS. The Labor
World says; "The Street Carmen
who went on strike last September
for an increase in wages and the
readjustment of working hours, did
not strike in vain. While many
of the men lost their jobs, the com

the Carmen. The general manager
of the company has announced that
the working hours are to be reduced
and the reduction comes within

asked for by the striking carmen.

Glass Men Strike.

Elvins, Mo-, July 18.-About
700 workmen at the Crystal City
Glass Works are on strike because
the management refused to conform
to the eight-hour law, which ap-
plies to glass workers. The law
went into effect recently and the
company threatened to remove its
plant from the State before it would
comply. The men who struck
were unorganized, but the presi-
dent Of the State Federation of La
Dor, after the strike occurred, form
ed an organization of the men in
volved. A large number of the
strikers signed the charter roll, and
application for a charter has been
made.

Ice men Win Strike.

Cincinnati, July 18.-Following
a series of conferences between the
representatives of the Icemen's IN
ion and the ice manufacturers a
portion Of the strikers have return
ed to work, thus partially ending
strike which has been on for three
weeks and which caused the city
authorities 70 seize the ice plants
and operate them. The tertns of
settlement are reported to be that
the drivers are to be granted an in
crease in pay and that the engin-
GERS and hremen's union will be
recognized, while the other de-
mands are to be decided by board
of arbitration. The city officials
have turned ever the ice plants to
their owners where settlements
have been arrived at with the strik-
ers, but will continue to operate
the plants of the concerns that have
not reached an agreement with the
striking employees.

Keen Money at Home.


To keep money at home should be
the aim and determined purpose of
every community, for it is the money
at home in circulation that makes
business and furnishes employment.
And it is especially important where
people depend largely or exclusively
on crops; for it Is only by keeping
the money the crops sell for at home,
working for the community, that pros
perity can stay with that community.
Sending money away to mail-order
houses may or may not save a dol
lar here or there for the individual
purchasers, but as the community
becomes drained Of cash these same
mail-order patrons begin to feel the
effects and lose out just like every
body else.
To really enjoy all the prosperity
that is possible the citizens of a COM
munity should not only buy at home,
but manufacture at home and raise
at home everything they can. That
would furnish employment to the
young people, who would't have to
leave home and so break up families,
and would also make living in the
community easy and attractiye.-La-

LETTING In the E-fqht,

The following extract from the
New Iberia Enterprise puts an i'm
portland matter in a light that should
comnr3nd the attention Of home mer-
chants everywhere:
I'm perusing one Of our valuable
exchanges this week, our attention
was directed to the outlay made by
one Of the big department stores of
! Beaumont, Texas, which sets aside
| 5000 per month for advertising, which
| it spends with its two local papers,
published in that thriving city. II a
majority of our business men, who
would like to see our citizens adopt
the policy of making their purchases
at home instead Of sending to cata-
log houses for their goods, would
only use g. little printers ink, through
| The medium of their local pa
pers, very probably thousands of dol
lars would be kept at home that is
today being sent to the mail order
houses of the east Six hundred dol
lars a month from one firm alone for
newspaper space in Beaumont, while
here in New Iberia I'll the business
houses combined do not purchase
annually $500 worth in a whole year,
yet some Of our supposed progressive
business men cannot understand why
the parcel pest and express compa-
MES continue to bring in merchandise
from foreign houses. It strikes us
very forcibly that If advertising is
profitable to business houses in other
cities, where rates for space range
from 20 cents an inch to as much as
30 cents, with the low rates existing
here the newspapers are not only
entitled to more consideration by the
merchants, but the latter are doing
themselves and the town an injustice
by letting the trade find its way to
eastern catalog houses. A visit to
the express offices occasionally on
the part Of the local business men, to
sed what is becoming of the trade
that belongs here, ought soon con-
vince them that the people of this
city and parish should be educated to
do more Of their buying at home,
and we know of no better and cheap
er way than Through the columns Of
the local newspapers"

1t Can Be Done,

Somebody said that it couldn't be
done,
But he, with q chuckle, replied
That maybe it couldn't" but he
would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he tried.
So he buckled right in, with the
trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he
hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing
That scouldn't be done-and he
did it. -.
There are thousands to tell you 1t
cannot be done;
There are thousands to prophesy
failure;
There are thousands to point out
to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail
you;
But just buckle in with a bit of a
grin,
Then take Off your coat and go
to it;
Just start in to sing as you tackle
the thing
That cannot be done," and
you'll do it.

SpeedIer TypewritInq.

The latest development In connec-
tbon with the typewriter is a ma
chine to print syllables of two and
three letters by a single pressue of
the key. This innovation calls for no
special skill on the part of the opera
tor. There Is the ordinary stan
dard keyboard, but the keys can be
extended to sixty or more. The two
letter syllables include the fol
lowing: Be, an, oh, de, ed,
is, in, no, st, un; and among the
three-letter syllables are: All,
and, who, are, end, has, the,
our for, may, not, hay, con,
conn, ing. acc, dis, per, pro.
When the operator has become used
to the position of the syllables, and
has memorized them, it is expected
dhat typing will be a more rapid
process. For instance, for the
word accountant it is only nee
essary to depress four keys instead
OF ten, as on an ordinary machine:
dlsunion is written by means Of
three keys instead Of eight; ssmis-
fortune" and Permission also re-
quire only four keys each. The ma
chine possesses unique pawl and es.
capement wheel, so arranged that
when syllable key is depressed
the carriage Jumps a space equal
in length to the syllable. The type
strikes the ribbon through metal
guide, thus insuring perfect alignment.
Adding machines have already been
combined with typewriters and ap-
parently We are to expect a COM
pounding OF attachments, in the uni
Versal desire to produce speedier
machines

The Training School For Negroes.


There are many reasons why 1t is
Imperative the state school for the
training of negro youths, to be pro-
vided by Louisiana, should be Iocat-
ed at some point where the citizens
Of The vicinage would cooperate to
make it success One of the best
Investments any state can make is to
provide the means for turning the
vast mass of raw material, represent
ed by hundred thousand negro chill
dren of school age in Louisiana, into
finished products. In a single gener-
alton it would add many millions OF
dollars to the productive wealth OF
the state, and by training these
youths in the trades and useful arts
burden would be removed and a
constant menace to our civilization
would be eliminated. The institution
should be located near the center of
the state, and it should be made
practical and properly equipped for
the work required of it.-Country Re-

Why Did she Do IL?

We are told Of a lady in this city
who received a pair of shoes by par
eel post. There was no fault with
Che shoes. They met every reason
able expectation. They were no
cheaper than the same shoes at home
would have cost. She might have
gone to the phone and had the home
merchant send her for inspection and
fit a couple of pairs of shoes-but,
no; she sent her money by mail to a
distant city for her footwear. Why
did she? How did she know how
much to send? How did she know
what style number to order? is it
not clear she read an advertise
ment? But that advertisement was
not of a New Iberia shoe merchant,
published ina New iberia paper. II
this; were the only case Of this kind
there would hardly be reason for
home merchants to complain.
We, as an advertising medium, can
not complain of the act of the lady
in question as long as we contend
there is power and profit in advertis-
ing.
How can we defend the home mer-
chant in his protests against foreign
buying, when he himself will not
spend a dollar in advertising here
Or elsewhere, in the effort to at
tract the trade?
Does advertising pay?
From the New Iberia merchants
standpoint. ''It does not For he,
quite uniformly, keeps mis- name and
wares out Of public print.
Then why should he murmur be-
cause of the mail ORDER business
out Of his home town? Has he not
demonstrated to himself conc1usively
that every pair of shoes sold by the
mail order house through an adver-
tisement has cost that house ten
times the profit on the shoes?
The real wonder is, that the mail
order house has not learned this
lesson long ago-that advertising
does not pay. Is it not strange that
the m.o.h. will continue to pay enor-
nous advertising and postage bills?

HOW TO BUILD 4 TOWN.
Harmony in Purposeeand Action rs
sentIaI to Community Develop
ment-FauIt Rests with Citizens
il Town Fails to Grow and
Prosper.

In every country and in every
state can be found towns that are
continually forging ahead while 9TH
ers remain practically at a stand
still and accomplish nothing in the
way of advancement. In every case
the fault can be found to rest, not
with the town, but with the people
themselves. An exchange has been
thinking pretty seriously along this
line, and presents it's conclusions in
this way:
| The reason why some towns grow
is because they have men in them
with push and energy who are not
afraid to spend their time, energy
and money for anything that will
| boom and benefit the town. They have
confidence enough in their town to
erect substantial and modern build
ings and residences and work for
public improvements in the same
order.
They organize companies and es-
tablish factories, induce Industrial en-
terprises to locate, and use every
means to further the best interests
Of the town. Their work Is never
considered finished, and the accom-
piishment of one thing is only an In
centive of another.
son the other hand, the town that
does NOS get ahead will be found
TO be dominated by either a set of
men Who are perfectly satisfied with
their surroundings, or who are afraid
somebody else will be benefited in the
event something is started; conse-
quently no effort Of any kind is made
by this class for these two reasons.
If some men or set of men en-
deavor to start something they are
met by opposition and discourage
ment, and 1t Is uphill work all the
way and very often failure
Every town, however, has a. GER
tain progressive element which hopes
for turn of the tide when the town
will go forward by leaps and bounds
and occupy a position of Importance
and obtain numerous advantages
which go to make 3 good town in
every sense.
But this stage cannot be accom-
Eished by mere wishes or SUPPOSE
lions. 1t can only come from harmony
IN purpose and action and the eternal
vigilance of it's citizens.
THE town with these things will
continue to grow and improve. but
the town without them can be ex-
pected to remain in state of
lethargy Indefinitely, without afford
ing it's residents anything but a.
mere existence"
