Every feature of the electrical bust
ness is embraced in mention of this
well-known Everett company, which in
many particulars fills an influential
field in its trade. The supplies of the

cry kind of labor at short notice and

their supplies take precedence as be-
ing the leading ones in the electrical
industry in this section of the state.

at 1929 Colby avenue, where those de-
string of securing any needed article

A. j. LEIBERSCHAL

All the world loves an enjoyable
smoke, and as Everett is part and
parcel of the worlds great community
it has never been denied that the de-
voices of the weed are as many as in
other localities. Every brand of cigar
is found in stores of a tobacco char
acter, but the greatest favor has been
shown-or at least should be awarded
to the famous nickel cigar known
as the Nickel Leader" and manu-
featured by Mr. A. J. Leiberschal, who
maintains headquarters at psf Nor
ton avenue. This brand of cigar en-
joys favor because it is of superior
carefully made and COM
posed of tobacco Of highly prepared
origin. This cigar also is representa-
tive of the idea that it stands for ev-
erything connected with labor's cause
is Of union manufacture, in fact
and is entitled to the award Of large
patronage from those composing the
ranks of union labor in particular as
well as those who enjoy the flavor Of
a cigar that combines luxurious fea-
lures and price combined

of such supplies as cedar posts and
lumber of various kinds, and in its
field of activity being appreciated by
the largest of patronage. The com

INTERVENTION-WHAT FOR?
(By United News Writers)

NEW YORK.-Has this anything to
do with the hysterical cry for inter
vention in Mexico?
Official figures show that there is
total of $2OO,OOO,OOO (Mexican gold
invested in Mexican oil wells.
OF that sum $1OO,OOO,OOO is Ameri-
can capital; $75OOO,00O is English
capital, with the puny $25,OOO,OOO re-
naming divided between French, Ger
man-and Mexican.
Thus the Mexicans have barely a
peek in at the oil wells of their own
country-and as for the common peo-
pie of Mexico, they are only permit
ed to smell the oil from affair."
Perhaps as significant as the fig
ures themselves is the further fact
that the American capitalists operat-
ing Mexican oil wells have NO TITLE
OF ANY KIND to the property they
exploit The only company that has
any kind of title is the Pearson Syn
dictate, English. 1t has a concession
and PAYS NO TAXES. So good was
Diaz. The others have NO CONCES-
SIONS AND NO TITLES, but they
pay taxes. So good again. was Diaz.
American capitalists want to get
their loot on firmer basis. And if
the Mexican Constitutionalists have
their way American capitalists will
have NO BASIS AT ALL.
The Constitutionalists believe this
vast wealth belongs to the Mexican
people. In this situation there is a
potent reason for Wall streets inter
vention desires. American working
men should think this over. Perhaps
they won't care to fight for American
capitalists when they know the truth

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1.-THE A.

tive exhibits at the Panama-Pacific

questions concerning the labor move

and their cause. They go away armed
with labor literature.

EVERETT BREWING co.

A two-fold object is implied in men,
ton of this well-known Everett con-
cern-one being that it is entitled to
promotion because it is a home indus
trial concern, and the other that it
views scientifically and from the best
material obtainable a beverage of real
and demand in Everett These two
facts call for decided expression Of
opinion, in that those who favor out
side beers to the exclusion of home
brews are working at cross purposes;
in other words, that they are losing
sight of the great value of patronizing
home manufactures, and are thereby
hurting their own interests. The in
dustrial class, as well as the general
community, can work out their own
trade salvation by largely promoting
their own concerns and manufactures
Edelrein Beer brewed exclusively by
the Everett Brewing company is of
the highest grade and quality, and
under the management of Mr.. E. II.
Hatch the Everett Brewing company
has been promoted to high place in
the business community of this city.
Large amounts of money have been
spent in improving the methods of
brewing and the result has been that
the brands of the company have stood
the test of competition and are recog-
nized as being of decided trade worth.
A visit to the plant at Thirty-third
and Smith avenue will demonstrate
the scientific and sanitary methods
of this business. The latest machin-
cry has been adopted and everything
about the place proves that the man
agement has striven in every way to
make the industry one of great i'm
portance in the trade life of Everett.
The working class of Everett and the
entire county are invited to award the
manufacturers the title of trade rec
ognition, and by thus doing they are
improving their own condition, as 1t
has been proven that cooperative
trade is one of the greatest factors
in gaining results of great benefit to
home communities.

The popularity OF the StoneIFsher
company is largely based on the .act
that articles are as Cheap not
cheaper - than any similar place
throughout the state. The store has
an appealing trade force with that
large body of working men and WON
en- who believe in fostering home en-
terprises, and that this class is grow
ing TO large dimensions is readily OBJ
served in the fact that many who used
to make their purchases in other cities
now find it a pleasure to cooperate
with local stores. thus advancing their
own interests to perceptible degree

Surrounded by squalor and care.

The trade features of this firm name
are representative of the idea that
whenever a resident desires a good
smoke patronage is invariably extend
ed TO Mr. Culmback, who conducts his
store at 1405 Hewitt avenue. The
establishment is well and favorably
known, the supplies consisting of SUI
perior brands of cigars, tobaccos, can

tain that element of good tobacco nee

sentative of large trade worth, and is

Quiet, comfort, good rest and clean

best know that these important attri-
butes are part and parcel Of the con

not only the commercial traveller but
also is a preferable stopping place for
the resident. 1t contains all the pri-
vileges of a first-class hostelry-in
fact, many more-and at the same
time is considerably cheaper. Every
room is light and airy, with beds that
seem almost to invite rest by their
appearance. Almost all visiting mem
bers of labor's organizations have at

and know it's value as a good hotel.
It's appearance bears the mark of care

Much attention has been devoted
lately to the use of gas in manufacture
ing enterprises as we'll as in the de-
velopment of it's use in the household,
Development in this direction has
gone steadily forward, and as time
goes on more uses will be found for
gas since the tendency on the part OF
the average householder is to be re-
lieved of the many petty annoyances
and laborious duties connected with
the use of wood, coal and oil.
Gas lighting of the present period
is far different from what it was as
recently as five years ago; the per-
lection of modern gas fixtures and
the newest type of incandescent gas
burners make lighting vastly better
than in the past. Modern incandes-
cent gas lamps suitable for residence
lighting are made in both upright and
inverted types, and in sizes ranging
from 40 to 120 candlepower.
Recent years have witnessed a
wonderful development in not only
gaslight, but also in gas cooking ap-
pliances The process of heating wa
ter for domestic purposes has been
revolutionized through the introduc-
ton and perfection of gas water heat
ers AS a fuel for auxiliary heating
purposes gas has rapidly forged to the
front. Among many other appliances
which are now giving service in
homes are gas-heated cake-bakers, cot
fee percolators, laundry irons, man
giles, clothes-dryers, refuse-destroyers
and water-sterilizers. There is scarce
ly any important. domestic operation
in the modern home requiring heat
that cannot be satisfactorily and in
extensively performed by gas. A
highly interesting list has been pre-
pared, showing the gas appliances
that are available for each room in
the house 1t is as follows:
Living-room or Library-Gas light
ing, gas reading lamps, gas heating
stoves, gas CRATES or logs.
Dining -room-Gas lighting, gas chat
ing dishes, open fire CRATES or logs,
tea sawovars, gas heaters, gas steam
radiators, coffee percolators, art glass
domes and showers.
Kitchen-Gas lighting, gas ranges,
water heaters, refuse destroyers,
warming ovens, plat warmers, water
stills, gas steam radiators.
Laundry-Clothes dryers, gas light
ing. gas mangles, gas heating stoves,
water heaters, gas irons.
Bedrooms-Ga lighting, gas heat
ers, gas CRATES, gas sickroom lights.
Bathrooms-Ga lighting, night
lamps, gas wall heaters, water ster-
ilizers.
Nursery and Pantry-Gas lighting
gas ranges, water sterilizers, plate
warmers.
1t is quite properly maintained that
no home is complete in which pro-
vision has not been made in each
room for lighting and other purposes
for which gas can be used. Not the
least among the advantages of the use
of gas is the marked beneficial effect
upon hygienic conditions. 1t is often
stated that the products of gas COM
bustion vitiate the air. Impartial in
vestigations by competent authorities
have shown that this statement is in
correct
Gas lighting has been found COM
paratively free from the injurious
effects upon the eyes which have
lately become so painfully apparent
with the more glazing light sources.

324 GRADUATES HEAR LABOR
EXALTED BY DIR. WESBROOK
Canadian Scholar Tells University
Men and Women They Must
Be Producers.

University of Washington, June q.
The graduates duty to the state,
the dignity of labor and the place of
the specialist in our modern life were
discussed before the graduating class
of the University of Washington last
Wednesday by DR.. Frank Fairchild
Wesbrook, president of the University
of British Columbia
Following the commencement ad-
dress, 4SS diplomas and certificates
were conferred on 324 students, 25 of
whom We're already in possession of
bachelors degrees. 1t was the larg-
est class ever graduated by the state
university.
Education Must Lead
Some of the statements made by
DR. Wesbrook follow:
I'VE can understand why govern
ment by the people should wait on
the will of the people and why the
mind of the people should be made
up only when the people are inform
ed; but the people will only be inform
ed when they still better perfect their
training and educational machinery
Education must lead not lag. Pre-
vention must prevent, not cure. Pub
lie business must be conducted by
trained experts They should consti-
tute not a ruling class, but a serving
class, and the public is a hard task
master
whilst we all recognize the need
Of the specialist in time of crises, we
do not employ him to prevent; we
rush to him for cure.

have knowledge that we have not. We
have not fully recognized the strides
which knowledge has taken in other
directions than our own We enjoy
the fruits of specialization and yet
we are suspicious of the sp, 'iaiists.
