'CRAWF|Sn GIRL" GETS
WR|TE.UP IN ORECON|AN
Miss Margaret Kennedy, Former
Olympian, Heroine of Inter-
esting Story.

Local friends of Miss Margaret
Kennedy, one of the popular young
girls of Olympia and an excellent
singer, will be interested in an article
which recently appeared in the Port
land Oregonian, which, under an
illustration picturing her as "The
Crawfish Girl" said:
Enthusiasts for Thrift" among
young people will find few more in
teresting stories than that of Miss
Margaret Kennedy, unsteady in
clincd girl of Skamokawa, Wahkia-
KUN county, WASH, who took to
"crawfishing" last September to make
money with which to pay for her
music lessons.
Miss Kennedy made a reputation
for herself as one Of the most talented
singers in Olympia during the winter
of 1914-15, but her father found it
necessary to leave the capital city last
summer to take up the management
of his numbering business in the
secluded Lower Columbia river coun-
try.
Decision Is Taken.
II was determined to do something
to help myself in the improvement Of
my voice." says Miss Kennedy. II
knew men who had gone into the
business of crawhshing on large
scale and had made money. So de-
cided that would try it with my own
limited equipment I had a small boat
and strong physique. I had never
heard of girl doing 1t before, but
felt perfectly capable of managing my
boat, having lived an outdoor life
much of the time on the water.
II have not made a great fortune,
but have made about $50 a month on
the average. My best week netted me
>12 and my poorest SO. have only
few traps, but next year intend to
put out more. Besides, am plan
ming to set a net for salmon right
away. My sole motive is the i'm
provement of my voice.
Customer Is Found.
II sell my crawflsh to an Astoria
restaurant, 20 miles away. While
there take music lessons from q
Portland teacher who comes down on
regular days each week. I pay SO q
lesson, but my teacher is wonderful,
and my voice is improving every day.
During the spring months I expect to
get ahead a little financially, as the
fish are more plentiful during that
season.
1.-THE cooked crawfish sell for 70
cents dozen. You see my buyer
makes good profit, as he pays me 20
cents a dozen.
Traps for crawfish are set in the
evening. because the crawish do not
feed during the day. The trap IL Of
mesh wire and about two feet long.
A funnel Of the same mesh wire is at
either end of the trap. In the center
Of the trap II q hook for the bait.
When they crawl through the tunnels
after the bait they cannot get out
again. Having my traps tied to trees
along the river bank, I row out every
morning and pull them in and pack
my catch In my rowboat."

Wilson asserted that Hughes is elected there viii be

$4,000 to recruit them-about $40 per
man.
Here is only one item in the enor-
nous outlay for this futile mobiliza-
ton, which when it is over will leave
our military establishment even
weaker than it was before the bubble
OF State Guard liberalization was
pricked Had this $100,0000g0 been
spent on a proper increase Of the reg
uIar army the country would now be
well on the way toward a rational
military reorganization. with mobile
force in sight large enough to patrol
our Southern border and to give sup
pot to any demands OF a political ma
ture which it may be necessary to
make on Mexico.
The people of the United States are
being taxed at a far higher rate than
ever before to support an army-os-
tensibly, at least-On a peace footing.
But they have today no real army and
no chance of getting one under the
gold-bri anti-preparedness Hay
law.
The President talks fluently about
having maintained peace with Mexico.
But he has really made war-extrava-
gantly. fruitlessly. hypocritically -
under the guise OF peace. The seizure
and occupation of Vera Cruz were
acts of war. The invasion and occu-
patton Of Northern Mexico were acts
of war; the American soldiers killed
at Parral and Carrizal were killed as
the result of an open violation Of
Mexican sovereignty.
The peace with Mexico which Mr..
Wilson boasts about is a sham and o
fraud Even the law officers Of the
War Department repudiate the fiction
behind which the President has taken
refuge. The country is paying q
heavy war price for Mr.. Wilson'S
"neace"-paying out millions and
getting practically nothing in return
If the President and Mr.. Mccormick
want to claim credit for keeping the
country out OF war, le' them call in
and revise the opinion of the judge

them knuckle down once more to Car

Mr.. Wilson exhibited his martial
side to the favored residents of Ne
braska on Thursday evening. He was
not then too proud to fight, Indeed.
he fairly longed to fight. He coun-
selled his auditors to answer Yes
when they were asked If they were
willing to fight, and he went on:
you are waiting for something
worth fighting for.
"You are not looking for petty
quarrels. but you are looking about
for that sort Of quarrel within whose
intricacies are written all the texts
OF the rights of man; you are looking
for some cause which viii elevate
your spirit. not depress it,
Some cause in which it seems a
glory to shed human blood If it be
necessary. so that all the common
compacts of liberty may be sealed
with the blood OF free men,"
Fortunately, Mr. Wilson's official
record affords unimpeachable evi-
dence OF what he regards as worth
fighting for" and OF what he consid
ers petty quarrels.' The refusal OF
the old Indian Huerta to salute the
flag constituted in Mr. Wilson's Off
cial Judgment an incident within
whose intricacies are written all the

war is usually conducted. D.. 1
am therefore Of the opinion that
while war is not recognized as
existing between the United
States and Mexico, the actual
conditions under which the field
operations in Mexico are being
conducted are those Of actual
warfare"
The military establishment has been
put on a war basis, so far as Mexico
is concerned. The Government has
incurred an expense of about $780,
100000 through the enlargement and
equipment of the State Militia and
their mobilization for service on the
Mexican border. The appropriations
for the army for the present fiscal
year are $267 ,596, 900, an increase Of
S165, 100000 over the appropriations
for the preceding year. The country
is paying lavishly for Mr.. Wilson's
war with Mexico. But, unfortunately,
it is getting no benefit, military or
other, out Of this huge war expendi-
ture.
By the time the militia mobilization
is over, at least 100000 900 will have
vanished without any material return
to the country either in the way Of
re-established order and security in
Mexico or in the way of permanently
bettered military organization
Some of the militia are already re-
turning from the border without any
experience of the sort which will i'm
prove their status as a part Of ou~
first line Of national defence Many
of them have had no extended order
drills; many Of them have never
fred a gun while in Texas, New Mex
