and who cleaned up the office. For
instance, in 1910, while Stewart was
treasurer, $2,SO0,O0O in taxes was col
lected twenty-five men were employ
ed in the office, the salary roll was
100000. The Bureau of IncOm-

praised the conduct of the office very
highly. For the year 1918, with E.
w. Evenson as county treasurer, $4,-
100000 in taxes was collected, seven
teen men were employed in the office,
and the salary roll was $21 500. A fine
showing for economy and efficiency,

CITY MINIMUM WAGE
AND EIGHT-HOUR DAY.

The minimum wage OF $500 per day
for an eight hour day on all city work,
an ordinance presented to the city
commission by committee from the
Everett Trades Council, did not fare
as we'll as the charter amendment.
The committee agreed with the
mayor and commissioners of Safety
and Public Works that these two
measures should be placed before the
voters at the coming election. But the
city commissioners could have saved
the city the expense of checking the
petitions and if organized labor should
demand that the matter be placed be-
fore the voters under Section c., Act
XI, of the city charter, the extra eX-
pence of a special election.
AS the petitions for this ordinance
only require 1907 signatures to make
the total signatures required, which is
Is percentum of this total number of
votes cast at the last preceding gen
eral municipal election.
All who have not signed the petition
are requested to sign without delay.
Petitions can be found at the Labor
Temple or phone 115 Ind 14S S. S.
This is another measure we have
to thank State Senator ]. E. Campbell,

gressive ticket.

NOVEMBER MEANS THAT
WORK WILL BE GIVEN TO
HOME PEOPLE AND CITI-
ZENS OF UNITED STATES.

Again we have the pleasure of call
ing attention of the voters of the city
of Everett and this congressional dis
trict to the untiring work of Brother
J. E. Campbell, Progressive nominee
for congress, Second district. Always
to the front in needed legislation,
never missing an opportunity to bene-
fit the workers and taxpayers.
The charter amendment submitted
to the city commission by a committee
from the Trades Council, Bros. L. G.
Luts and NJ T. Altman, president and
secretary of the council, giving prefer
ence to citizens of the United States,
residents of the city of Everett; also
giving preference to married men and
men with families over single men and
men without families on all work done
by the city or contractors or sub-con-
tractors thereby putting stop to the
practice of contractors discharging
residents of Everett and taxpayers to
give employment to non-residents and
non-taXpayers of other cities is an
other measure this city has to thank
Senator Campbell for.
The city commission by unanimous
vote passed a resolution to submit
this amendment to the city charter to
the voters at the coming election No
vember 8. We urge all who are in
terested in the advancement of our
city and all who believe that those
who pay the taxes and those who
make their homes in Everett should
have protection, to vote for the char
ter amendment known as Section
100 1-2-vote for it.

because this saving, In cases of this
character, does not take the form OF

pockets, there is widespread ten
dency to believe that 1t is fictitious

Just as well a source Of profit as the
increase In the price Of wheat.
In Dinwiddie county, Virginia, for
example, where peanuts Is one of the
staple crops the average load for two
mules on q main road was about one
thous and pounds before the road was
improved After lis improvement the
average load was found to be 1000
pounds, and the time consumed In
hauling the larger load to market was
much reduced. In other words, one
man with wagon and two mules
could do more than twice as much
work with the improved road than
with an unimproved road. This Is
the explanation OF the extraordinary
rise in the total output of agricul'
tural products In a county with a good

ALWAYS EVIL TO BE IDLE
Taking to Heart by the People
of This Country.

There is an excellent proverb, which
has been handed down to one genera
tion after another of Japanese. 1t
ought to be in every language. 1t
runs thus, ITO do nothing is to do
evil" Perhaps 1t is this which makes
the Jap SO busy. remarks the Boston
Advertiser. 1t is very hard to catch
him doing nothing Even his sociul
intercourse is filled with things to do.
There is infinite bowing and scraping
and bending double, before friend is
properly greeted or tea is properly
served. But the proverb may not be
compelled to work so far as the Japa-
nese make 1t work, In order to do
coed. 1t Is a question whether the
wise of this country realize as they
might, and as the wise should, how
evil 1t Is to be idle. 1t is this which
leads the children of the city into mis-.
chief The houses are so close to.
gether that they have lost the chores
which were once theirs. The chores
are done out on the farms or by the
city. 1t is idleness which Is the curse
of the rich and of the poor. Yet it is
idleness which seems to be the great
desire Of the individuals of our ma.
ton. In desiring 1t they desire evil
and they do not realize what 1t IL
they wish.

Co-operation In marketing and In

Large quantities of uniformly good

DAIRY
ADVANTAGE OF cow TESTING
Wide Difference in Product of Animals
Shown by Trials Made at the
Nebraska Station.

At the Nebraska experiment station
the different COWS in the dairy herd
were tested. The result showed that
there is wide difference in the prod
uct of the COWS of the same breed.
We Will not mention the breed under
the eXpe riment but will leave that
matter as some mi sht feel sensitive
who may be breeding the same breed
OF cows.
In the case mentioned it was found
that one COW gave 1888 pounds Of
milk during the period OF lactation
and the milk tested 3.46 butter fat
Another COW in the herd gave l,1J7
pounds of milk during the period
OF lactation which tested 2o2 butter
fat.
In figuring on the cost of produc-
Ing, as an accurate account was kept
ol all the food each Cow consumed.
and the value Of all the labor, be-
slowed in caring tor and feeding the
animals, it was found that the first
cow returned I4.l1 for each dollar
worth Cf feed she consumed. On the
other hand, the COW tnat gave l,lyl
pounds OF milk only returned 90
cents for each .dollar worth Of feed
she consumed. Nov, it does not re-
Quire an expert in hgurlng to prove
the great value of testing the COWS in
the herd. This COW that only re-
turned 90 cents for the dollar $ worth
of feed she consumed is not alone IN
that kind of business, There aPe
by far too many COWS kept that are
net paying for their food Let dairy
men give this matter OF testing more
consideration and by all means
weigh the milk; keep track OF the
amount of milk the COWS give per
day; per week; per month; and dur
ing the whole period of lactation.
