The object of the association is bring members all communities closer together, work together those things which concerned. under stand another better, promote mutual helpful ness and cooperation by which the and women of every community will be made only richer but better.
 Community effort will secure civic improvement paving, sanitation Identification, public service and quasi-public service. bring a better understanding between merchants and their patrons; between those who labor and those who employ lahor. will secure impartial enforce ment of laws and regulations and will diminish the tendency to disregard laws and regulations.

AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES
 WASHINGTON STATE

 The State University of Washing ton is so new that most of the chairs in the faculty still smell of varnish. It was established over fifty years ago when the state of Washington was populated almost exclusively by pine trees, and up to fifteen years ago it was one of the 794 also-ran in American college life.
 It ranked with Millsaps, Occidental Muskingdum and other quiet retreats of learning. and an eastern college man couldn't have found it in an atlas eight feet wide. About that time Seattle began to leap lightly to the front in the cen sus returns and Washington Uni versity leaped with it. Seattle held an exposition and gave it to the university when it closed. This pro Vided q larger number of buildings and twenty trainloads a day of in coming settlers provided the neces sary football material
 The University of Washington now has over 5000 students and a faculty of 200. It is growing so fast that by the time a fine new marble hall is finished to take the place of some tumble down wooden structure the attendance has overflowed again and the old shack has to be pinned to- gether and pasted up for another syear.
 The Cafeteria is in an old eXposi- ton building and the students eat under umbrellas in rainy weather while the reporters in the School of Journalism work in an extinct gar dener's cottage and hold up the roof with. one hand while writing. But every year a fine new building goes up and if the attendance will kindly hold back a little the state will catch up with the university
 Washington's campus is a beauti- fully landscaped hilltop with the Olympics on one side and Mount Rainier on the other. Its museum is a Greek temple. whose columns are fir trunks, four feet in diameter and it's pine flagpole is as high as the Bunker Hill monument.
 The University of Washington is the second largest college on the Pacific coast and the third largest west of the Missouri river. It has more students than Yale, but has never had a chance to row it's crew against Harvard. and consequently suffers from a lack of high grade advertising.

The BreVity of Humor

Humor depends less upon a funny situation than the manner of describing it. The description order be successful clear of unneces- sary detail; something must be left the inagna- ton of the reader Or the nearer; a pleasant surprise be suddenly placed before him. If the description accompanied by explanation, step by' step, is heightened a funeral procession The funniest tSing that happened the world becomes a pathetic incident when it is unfoded slowly.
 We have just come across the following brief paragraph which. like the scriptures, nothing should be added and nothing taken away

FINANCES and MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1spArcHl

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-DullnesS and irfegularity were striking features of the stock market which was saved from sheer stagnation by the couaten- ance of professional manipulation of war shares. Those issues made up a very considerable part of the small out put and in keeping with recent per formanceS of this group few high rec ords were made. Bethlehem Steel made a maximum gain of 14 F points at 34912 or 141s over it's recent best. Crucible steel which led the market in point of activity rose points to 95&. Other stocks of this class trailed hlong at gains of from l to points. The move- ment in war shares was more notable because of the apathy manifested to- ward investment issues. These were mostly lower when quoted at all. but their part of the days operations was negligible. Rock Island became strong toward the close on word that Chicago money to meet impending interest ob- legations would be provided. United States Steel, generally regarded as the balance wheel or barometer of the mar ket, rose and fell within narrow limits. Total sales were ,000 shares. Con- servative Wall street devoted most of it's consideration to the negotiations attending the Anglo-French credit sit uation and Washington's exchange of views with Berlin. The local bond mar ket was irregular at the outset but made a general improvement later. To- tai sales aggregated s2655,000.

Send Troops to San Benito

BROWNSVILLE. Sept. 1.-Two companies of infantry were hurried to San Benito and Lyford, north of here, on reports of danger from Mexican bandits. Extensive preparations have been made to prevent reprisals and outbreaks during the holiday celebra- tion.
 Col. Blocksom, in command of Fort Brown. sent another troop of cavalry into the Santa Maria and Los Indios section. where American soldiers are ambushed. A Mexican was arrested there on suspicion, making a total of six prisoners held at San Benito in connection with the fight.
 In the field where the MeXicans are surrounder by the soldiers, two army canteens were found and identified by United States cayalrymen as canteens

SPRINGFIELD, H., Sept. 14.-Let- tcrs received from American residents of San Luis Potosi Mexico, state the impression pl evails among the more ig- norant people there is civil war in the United States. San Luis Potosi papers, the letters state. are printing dispatch es telling of disturbances along the lower Rio Grande under the headline Civil War in the United States and one Carranza general has gone so far as to issue a proclamation of neutrality.
 The American note, according to writers of the letters, occasioned much anger among the Mexican popu- lace. but the writers declare that Gen eral Obregon has been extremely cour- teous to the American residents.

Quiet Before Storm?

MESA, Sept 14-Mesa was unus- ually quiet this evening, according to City Marshal Thomas Peyton, who spent the major portion of the' eve ming talking among the MeXicans. He reports that the young men with whom he alked, were very quiet, and that there was absolutely no sign that a force, much less a large armed one. could have been organ ized.
 Still, it was admitted that a num- Der of men might have left town singly or in twos and threes, with out having attracted much atten- tion.
 Phoenix knew nothing of the or ganiZation, if any, of body of armed Mexicans for an assault on the prison at Florence. At the of flee of the sheriff. it was reported at midnight no information had been received of either disorder, or a pos sible organization of disaffected la borers
 If, as Florence reports, the attack ing force was to meet out of Mesa, the matter would have necessarily become one of grave concern to the authorities of Maricopa county. The entire story is discredited here, all though it is admitted that Sheriff Hall of Pinal county has been suf- ficiently alarmed over reports, to prepare for any eventuality.

favor Of the members of Maine labor
unions.

under the supervision of a live COM
mittee.
Although our affiliations have in
creased this year we can never hope
to reach our full efficiency until every
local and central body in the State is
affiliated and lending their moral and
financial support. I have yet to lis
ten to one reasonable argument as to
why this Federation should not re-
ceive this support. They utterly
fail to appreciate the general trade
union movement as a whole; and
they more than fail to attach a just
value to the results already obtained
by this organization.
l believe that q new system should
be introduced to secure quicker and
more satisfactory results when your
executive board finds 1t necessary TO
appeal to our affiliated unions. The
system we use at the present time is
that the delegate representing his
union at this and all future conven-
tions be considered the personal
representative Of your executive
board in his local union and that he
serve as such until his successor is
elected. If he fails to carry out the
instructions sent him by your board
he should be refused a seat In any
future convention Of this body.
Chambers Of commerce and labor
unions although composed Of two
different classes Of men have much
in common and by cooperation and
an exchange Of ideas could bring
about results which would be Of vast
benefit to the cities in which they
are located. I have been informed
that during the organization of one
Of the bureaus Of a chamber Of COM

State branch of the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor. Once more we ar.

the State branch Of the past year and

We are sent here by our several
unions as men they can trust, chosen
from among our members as the best
fitted to represent them in the i'm
portant matters that will come before
this convention. Let US try and
discharge this duty and merit this
trust by giving our undivided atten

that our work will be we'll and ex-
peditiously attended to.
The constitution states that your
president must at the opening Of the
convention make a report for the
year. AS it was only within the las:
Few weeks that Bro. Beals realized
his inability to be present at this
meeting. the report which I submit is
Of necessity less complete. However
when the reports Of the secretary.

presented. with that of the Legisla.
tive committee, you will be fairly
well informed as to the matters that
have received consideration by this
organization during the year now
ended.
Whatever success we have met with
In securing favorable legislation has
been due to our organization and by
perfecting our organization the more
We may expect to accomplish. I be-
neve that we should inaugurate a
movement for better organization
Of our local unions and central
bodies and a closer af1iliation with
the Maine Branch. If the delegates
present would support a movement
as l have suggested I feel that 1t
would enable us all to receive a

from a perfect organization. and
