DUPONT MAY GET SHARE
Russia Places Rush Order for $780,.
100000 Worth of Powder.

The big powder factory at Dupont,
between Olympia and Tacoma, owned
by the corporation of that name. will
probably share in the gigantic order
for $6O,OoO,OOO worth of powder,
with a chance to obtain bonus of
33 1-3 per cent if the order is filed
within a certain time, which a dis
patch from Wilmington, Del, says
has just come to the du Pont Powder
company from the Russian govern
ment. The agreement gives the COM
pany an opportunity to make profit
of $20,OO0,O00, in addition to that
which would be made at the regular
price.
The idea in giving the bonus is to
hurry along the work on the powder
1t is admitted that the Russian gov
eminent is badly in need of ammuni-
ton and that the recent retreat be-
fore the Germans and Austrians has
been due to the lack of ammunition.
1t is necessary to have the powder,
and to have it at once.
The powder contract probably will
be distributed between the various
mills of the company in different
places. The plant at Dupont has
been running strong ever since the
war started and some months ago. In
common with the other mills oper-
ated by the company, gave it's en-
ployes a substantial wage increase.
The company is planning to enlarge
some of it's plants and may increase
the capacity Of the Dupont mill.

More than two months ago we re-
ferred to these matters in the News
aid offered to furnish names, banks
and dates, but no attention was paid
to it. The matter will now be re-
ported to Washington. We have
heard so much talk about labor and
capital getting together and in favor
of improving conditions of the poor
and needy, that we had hopes that a
more liberal and humane sentiment
was being created among the men
who handle the wealth of the world,
but that was only false alarm. The
truth of the matter is that vast
of our wealthy men and poll
ticians would continue the present
times If by so doing they
could defeat President Wilson for
reelection, and that is the game that
is now being played.

The optimists say good times are

of the country are blocking the way
and have been for some time. They
must soon be pushed aside. Hereto
fore the eastern portion of the United
Stats has received the benefits of the
great war orders, but now the Pacific
coast is also to have dip at that
jackpot, for the papers report that
Seattle and surrounding cities will

When a depositor seeks to with
draw his money from some of our
banks for the purpose of investment.
he is cross-examined by some bank
official and told to wait a year-that
the proper time has not arrived and
he will probably lose his money. This
is said to keep the money out of cir
culation, which is the cause of the
extreme hard times. This has been
going on for some time, and it has
been explained to us that those bank
ers who are boarding money are
doing so to keep up the hard times
for the purpose of defeating Presi-
dent Wilson next year.
The Banking Law.
The new currency and banking
law makes it easy for bankers to OBJ
tain all the Currency needed. Under
it, it is said, there can be no panics
because the money needed can always
be secured for the purpose Of avoid

should refuse to call for the money?
The law amply protects the people
against an inadequate supply OF
money. but there seems to be no law

overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they

When your kidneys get sluggish and

and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels

are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable ply
