discoverer Of Finlayson river and Fin
LAWSON lake, in Yukon territory, has
applied to the board of trustees of the
Pioneers home at Sitka, Alaska, for
pension under the Alaska territorial
law providing for aged pioneers.
Finlayson prospected and mined gold
in California and Oregon until he was
sixty-six years old, then went to Brit
ish Columbia and Yukon territory and
explored large areas into which white
men had never penetrated.
He retired with what he supposed
would be enough money to care for
him all his life, but had not expected
to attain such a great age. and the
years have now exhausted his hoard.

Oriuin of Heraldry

According to the highest authori-
ties, heraldry finds its starting point in
the totemism of prehistoric man. In
the barbaric custom Of painting or
carving the totem on oars. the bows
and sides of canoes, weapons, pillars
in front of houses, ETC., and in tattoo
ing it on the various parts OF the Dody
we have the real origin Of the insignia
that are so precious to the upper ten
dom of today. 1t was in the ignorant
superstition of the savage that he
sprang from crane or bear or some
other animal that the various coats
of arms of the "big families of the
present time found their inception

ROCKEFELLER PLAN
WOULD FIT CHILDREN

Denver, Colo.-The Rockefeller plan
OF settling disputes with employees might
be feasible il these workers were chill
dren, but to grown men the scheme is
repugnant This is the verdict OF
committee representing the Interna-
tional Executive Board, United Mine
Workers of America, now in charge oi
Colorado affairs.
The committee says:
"The calm assurance on the part OF
the company that the result OF the Joint
conference was foregone conclusion
speaks eloquently OF their firm convic-
ton that the plan,' to work at all, must
work in harmony with their desires.
"The great fundamental principles OF
industrial democracy, and the right OF
collective bargaining, which alone can
guarantee to the Colorado worker his
civil and political liberties, have no place
in the document that has been so elabo-
rately prepared by Mr. Rockefeller and
his associates for the future guidance
OF his silent and apparently non-con-
suited partners in the mining camps OF
Southern Colorado.
"The plan fails to provide for meet
ings or conventions OF the miners, cx-
cept locally, and by doing so insures
company domination of its workings.

CORSET WORKERS WIN.

Springfield, Mass.-Employes OF the
Bay State Corset Company have won
their strike. The company agrees to
recognize representatives OF the en-
ployes, and where differences can not
be settled, the dispute shall be referred
to the State Board of Arbitration and
Cancellation. The fning system is
abolished. and rates are to be adjusted
so that operatives can earn as much in
forty-eight hours as they formerly
earned in fifty-four hours. If the new
prices do not work satisfactorily, an
effort will be made to readjust them.
Taxes for needles and wax are abol-
ished. This means an additional gain
OF at least Is cents a week. The strike
also developed strong trade union Tor
these workers.

The present Vice Mayor asks for re-
election as President OF the Council on
the Republican ticket Mr.. Dauner has
been active in the administration OF
municipal affairs for the past fifteen
years, and was most devoted and active
in the affairs OF the Board OF Education
having secured the first OF the new
school houses for his constituents. Mr.
Dauner was elected member OF the
last Board OF Public Service, and served
most efficiently in the interest OF our
people. In 1918 he was elected Presi-
dent of the Council, serving iearlessly
and impartially as presiding officer,
and fully merits the support OF all the
people OF our city. Mr. Dauner was
born in Cincinnati in 1866, was educated
in the public schools, and lived here all
his life.

CHILDREN HATE
PILLS, CALOMEL
AND CASTOR OIL
II Cross, Feverish, Constipated, Give
california Syrup of
Figs"

Look back at your childhood days
Remember the dose" mother insisted on
castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How
you hated them, how you fought against
taking them.
With our children it's different. Moth
ers who cling to the old form of physic
simply don't realize what they do. The
children's revolt is well founded. Their
tender little 'insides' are injured by
them.
II your childs stomach, liver and bow
els need cleansing, give only delicious
California Syrup of Figs" Its action
is positive, but gentle. Millions of moth
ers keep this harmless fruit laxative"
handy; they know children love to take
it; that it never fails to clean the liver
and bowels and sweetea the stomach,
and that teaspoonful given to-day
saves a sick child tomorrow.
Ask your druggist for 50-cent bottle
of California Syrup Of Figs" which has
full directions for babies, children Of
all ages and for grown-ups plainly on
each bottle. Beware OF counterfeits sold
here. See that it is made by California
Fig Syrup Company Refuse any other
kind with contempt.

People in Large Area Are at
Door of Starva-

LIVE IN CAVES
AND IN HUTS
German Bread Card System
Only Agency for
Relief

| London, Nov. 30.--Adyiees from he
| Warsaw district of Poland say that prac-
tically the entire civil population in a
large area is at the door of starvation.
| Thousands whose homes were destroyed
are living in huts and caves with little
protection against the rigors of Pol
ish winter.
Industries OF all sorts have been par
Ialyzed and if wholesale extinction of
the population by want and cold is
to be averted drastic measures of re-
lief must be taken.
The Germans are distributing small
supplies of -four under the bread card
system. There is a shortage of dried
or canned vegetables and potatoes are
the only commodity Of food that exists
in quantity. Prices have risen to I'M
precedented heights. Suffering is es-
pecially acute among families of Russian
reservists who formerly received PEN
sions from the Russian government.
Thousands have already persisted.
Mothers are so undernourished that they
cannot feed their children. In Warsaw
and Lodz women wait all night to get
favorable place in the breadline. LODI,
a city of 100000, has 100000 refugees on
its hands. Authorities are outstanding the
flour supply with the view OF making it
last until the next harvest.
The German authorities are struggling
with epidemics of disease which are due
to starvation and unsanitary conditions
in the war ravaged districts. Progress
in stamping out cholera, smallpox, ty-
phoid fever, scarlet fever, diphtheria and
other diseases is slow.
