Tacoma's strike of longshore-
men is costing the taxpayers $1g5

report made to the council today

Members of the council sug-

promised to pay part Nof the city's
police bill.
At present there are 65 special

Grandfather Astonisher,
That's Just What That
Puyallup Aggregation Is
Simply a Machine.

1t sounded exactly like meet
ing of manufacturers.
The COW is simply the machin-
cry which transforms material
into output. If she isn't efficient,
she will be scrapped.
1t is all in keeping with the
new idea of farming. Visitors
yesterday were shown hens
whose egg records are kept in
neatly penciled tables of figures;
crops growing in soil which has
been analysed and its bacteria
counted; laboratory where the
plant diseases and methods of
cure or control are studied.
Farmers nowadays "con-
troll everything ~ the
weather.
1t is true that under the new
regime the COW loses her indie
pendence and becomes a mere
milk-machine; but the farmer
gains his and buys an automo-
bile.
And remembering how hard
grandfather worked, and how
little he got out of it, wish he
were living today.

Many members of the union

have taken up other work.
Only a small gathering of !ons-

remained at the union headquar-

allowed on any of the docks.

There's one feature about this
baby contest that Jackson's studio
hasn't counted on when it agreed
to take the pictures of Tacoma's
babies free.
That is, the fact that while two
babies are company, three are a
crowd.
And more than three are a riot.
What Jackson's studio won't
know about managing babies en-
masse, after this contest is over,
won't be worth knowing.
Whichever baby gets the $40
first prize will win it from fIll
field of competitors.
And the $40 and IS prizes Will
carry much glory also.
Every mother who brings her

terrible twelve days" Of July and Au-
gust, 1914. Then the whole world,
knowing little of the methods and
means of modern destruction, was par
alyzed as to normal industry and pal
sled TO all new enterprise except the
awful obsession of war, and now the
world knew that war meant for the
invaded nation destruction and ruin
on a scale undreamed of before; also
In 1914 the world knew that the pow

alliance might work its will upon the
other, but now in 1917. upon the neu-

securities-the standard" securities
Of q few months before-were obliter-

terrors of the future. Before noon,
when a moratorium was declared in
every state In the Union, credit had
ceased to exist. The men and women
who had awakened to a morning of
amazement before news office and bull

withdraw their money, but they clam
ored uselessly In the streets and beat
upon doors which were closed and
barred. And business-except the
trade In the supply Of the barest daily
necessities and the manufacture of
arms and munitions of war-was dead.
The capitol cried to the country for
aid, "a million men between sunrise
and sunset"-the million men who, as
the country had been told to believe,
would ward Off all disaster. And In
that day the country pledged to the
capitol more than 100000 men, a rec
ord for voluntary enlistment under any
similar conditions, and, with the mil
lion soon to be assured, the country
