Mining Is subject to a fortunate rule
today. Coal and copper are especially
benefited.
Shoemakers and harnessmakers have

also a most encouraging sign for build
ing. repairing and developing properties.
Agriculturists have the prophesy Of
much gain. but they should insure against
losses in the transportation Of their pro-
duce.
Saturn is believed to be helpful to the
study of economics while this config-
uration prevails. 1t Is predicted that or
ganization and system will become most
important to certain government affairs
before the end of the year.

BLOUSE KINKS.

The high collar has not triumphed
where the blouse is concerned. The low
one is too becoming. too comfortable, and
too easy TO make to be rclinquished cas-
lily by most women. and the fur-collared
coats which are announced for autumn
will give them a further lease of life.
Some of the new bouses and over
blOuseS' are fastened by laCings.
These lacings may be effected with
large punched holes. buttonholed in eye
let fashion: but just as effective holes
can be worked with much less trouble by
using brass rings and covering these with
a twisted embroidery silk, using a cro-
chet hook and a double stitch These
are stitched down to the blouse about
one-third of the way round and the lac

When You Buy Salmon.
John A Slcicher in Leslie's.


When you buy a can Of salmon do you
know whether it Is red pink or
white and that all the varieties taste
alike and all have about the same food
value? But the packer sells the "chum
or white salmon for less than half ne
gets for the red and he only gets 10 per
cent as much for pink as for red salmon.
So when you pay a high price for red
salmon see that IL is really marked
red" l learned these facts while al
the dock at Saldovia looking over the
cannery of Mr.. Randolph and his associ-
ates. The floor adjoining the cannery
department was covered with shiny cans
of salmon still warm from the bolier:
There must have been $1,000 cans piied
up. As they cooled in the sharp, clear
atmosphere of an Alaskan twiliSht L
heard a popping like that of parcnins
corn. The tops of the cans. which hao
swollen in boiling, were shrinking pack
under the pressure of the atmosphere.
Every can must be full weight under the
law. Chinaman with a nail or bit OF
iron with incredible speed strikes the
tons of the cans and instantly by the
sound detects those that are not 1uiis

stand you TO say that you have reached
period where lawyers are no longer
necessary"
That's 1t. exactly" rrrlied Mr.. smith
Let me explain. 1t is true, doubtless.
In your Bohunkis today, as it was in
America before the great upheaval which
reached its climax in the years following
/, the European war and closed with the
general election of 1929. that an economic
system, burdened with the criminal in
equalites, prevails. In the former Gays
of this country men and women were
kept in constant struggle for the mere
necessities of life-that is most of them
were. while a few lived in idle luxury.
1t was quite natural that the Overwhelm-
ing ambition of individuals in that Old
jungleland of ours should be the acqdisi-
ton Of money. Crimes were daily S)n-
mitted because of money. and a"yers
were necessary to put poor Indicators
in Jail and keep rich ones out.
Nowadays We have industrial CO.
operation. wherein men and women live
to work at the occupations most pleasing
to them individually. Formerly they
worked to live. The ruling passion Of
bygone times-money-has been entirely
eliminated. There is no object in any
one trying to accumulate wealth. That
is why We have no more wars. and that
is why we enjoy the onls real brother
hood of the world that was ever possible.
Tell me, do you see, in n system Where
everybody is guaranteed life and the
things necessary to its sustenance. and
where the Golden Rule of the Saviour
OF Mankind is in actual practice. as
might have been always-tell me. do you
see any need for lawyers"

they will find special mention on the

The Gamers get at wholesale only

SMALL-SCALE COOPERATION.

Have you ever tried family co-opera-

Cooperative housekeeping on a large

at low cost to the poor families, where
the mother. as we'll al the father. worked
