and as low as SIS. No definite price
was placed on any class, but buyers
were generally apart on the offerings
made.
R. F. Moore sold forty fine two-year-
old mules at auction at one o'clock.
Good bids were made, and the prices
were generally high.
Although the number of mules was
below the average, the crowd was
even larger than is usually found in
Columbia on First Monday. The
crowd was conservatively estimated
as numbering five thousand individ-
uals. Many came into the city on
Sunday night, but the big push &C.
Cured this morning, and so many PEG
pie were in the city that large num-
bers were crowded off the sidewalks
and into the streets, All traffic in the
streets about the Court House was
almost impossible for several hours
due to the people and mules.
The number of people in the city
was not so large as on the. First Mon
day in October, but that was circus
day and all the kids in the county
had chosen it as their own day to be
in the city. OF course, the parents
had to accompany the kids-or the
kids the parents.
The day before election and First
Monday combined to bring into the
city the five thousand people. The
whole topic of conversation was the
election to be held on Tuesday. Con-
fidence was generally expressed in the
reelection of Woodrow Wilson and
the entire democratic ticket in the
state.

Concerning insurance now available
to the approximately 100000 employees
of American electric railways, and to
American wage-earners generally, and
the better possibilities within reach
under cooperation, the committee
makes exhaustive reports.
voluntary insurance systems have
failed to carry life insurace protec-
ton generally into the lower wage
levels where it is most needed" said
the report. I'm the absence Of COM
pulsory regulations the American
werkmen will go without life insur-
ance protection"
State insurance, the committee de-
clares, has not been a conspicuous
success" and labor unions, as now
organized, do not and cannot be ex.
pected to provide the insurance need
ed by wage earners and their fami.
lies" Regarding the public pension
system, the report says that the fail
ure to make adequate provisions for
the accruing liabilities under these
pension plans has been the universal
shortcoming of such administration"
Protection should be offered to all
employees and participation for mini.
mum amount should be made compul
sorry during employment. Individual
contracts with individual employees
should be provided.
Health insurance, while Of impor'
lance, cannot be compared in value
with life insurance and provision for
old age, both from the social and the
individual family's viewpoints, and in
cost it should he one of the least ex.
pensive forms of complete protection.
1.-The plan of insurance best suited
to mutual benefit associations appears
to be the renewable term plan, with
increase in rates at ten-year intervals;
full benefits limited to three months
or a hundred days, half benefits for
an additional three months for sin
gle case; no benefits paid for disabili-
ties covered by workmen's compensa-
ton acts.
"The American Association for La
Dor Legislation is sponsor for health
insurance bill which it is said will be
introduced in twenty-five states of the
Union. 1t is desirable that American
employers shall examine these pro-
posals and their European counter
parts with some care"
The committee plans to devote its
attention during the coming year to
old age pensions, minimum wage en-
ployes' thrift and the productivity
basis of wages.-Philadelphia Public

Believes People Should Know Why
Electric Alarms do Not Work and
Why Chemical Tanks Are Not
FiIled-"A Pleasure Wagon"

Stating that he hopes the charges

people of Columbia the true condition
of the fire fighting facilities of the city,
Chief H. (. Ritter Monday morning
spoke to a representative of The Her.
aid. He declared that he does not
deny the charges that he roundly
! abused John Hackney, colored, driver
of the truck, but says that he desires
TO show why he did so, and his action
was necessary.
Mr.. Ritter said: Il will not resign
If the charges against me are pressed,
but will see the thing through to the
end. | believe that the people of Co.
lumbia should have an opportunity of
knowing why the truck is never in
condition, why the electric alarms
over the city will not work, and why
the chemical tanks of the truck are
never charged. shall tell them
everything if the charges come to a
head. A large number of my friends
have been to me and told me to see
the thing through to the end, and |
shall do so.
1.-THE city of Columbia pays men to
take care of various features of the
fire equipment and they do not do
their duty. This is the reason for the
"cussing' that l gave them the other
day. We were delayed twenty min.
utes in getting to the fire on Saturday
morning, because John Hackney did
not know how to start the truck. We
would have been there yet if Mr..
Hutcheson had not come to our aid.
Three department members have
made pleasure wagon, of the truck
this is the reason it is never in condi.
ton.
Alderman Cherry did offer me ten
dollars fire if would not handle the
hose; but if | do not direct the water
who will? These country firemen gel
to a fire about half an hour after it is
started and, if do not direct the hose
nobody will fight the fire at all.
Yes, | hope they will press the
charges against me. | am sure that
the people of Columbia will back me
IN any contention that may arise"

through a uniquer indirect way i'm
Japan. DR.. Yokoyama tells it this
way: In Japan whenever man
wishes to marry some young lady
whom he has just met, instead or
waiting on her he has to ask his father
to inquire to her people whether no
can get the young lady or not Then
the father goes to his personal friend.
Nnoln v Will cali Mr.. B., and asks him
to call on the young lady's father and
give message that this young man
wishes to marry his daughter. Then
if the young lady never met him be.
fore she would ask her father that she
would like TO meet the young man.
! Then Mr.. will invite this young lady
| to take tea with Mr.. B. At the same
time he notifies the young man to
| drop in the same afternoon. Then the
young people are introduced to each
other formally. After spending one
hour or two drinking of the tea they
60 home.
when the young lady comes home
mother inquiries OF her whether she
likes the young man or not. Proba-
bly, if sheslikes him very much she
would say oh mama, he is so cute.s
Then the mother understands how
daughter wants, SO when a.. J. B. calls
on them the parents give favorable
answer. Upon hearing the good news
Mr.. B. sends word to the young man
at .once that the young lady has &C.
cepted his proposal. Then the young
man full of hope and gladness coca
downtown to procure some beautiful
diamond ring to send to the young
lady as a token of her betrothal. Our
real Japanese custom was that the
young men used to send fine silk to
the young lady so that she might make
part of her gown with the silk tho
young maA sent to her. However,
nowadays, girl in Japan hearing that
the American ladies like diamond
rings they also say, oh, we like to
! have diamond rings too So it is al
cover the world Young men listen to
the request of the fair sex.
when the young man sends din
mond ring through Mr.. B. then the
parents of the. other parties fix the
suitable wedding day which win ba
generally ten days after the yonng
people are betrothed. But the engage.
ment in Japan does not last SO long
as in this country. However for the
wedding day they spend three days.
The first day at the bridegroom,s
home they have preparation for feast
such as buying of provisions and
cooking. On the second day they still
have to do cooking in order to pro.
vide dinner for 200 to 300 people.
About 80 p. m. the wedding FEAST
commences. After brief ceremony
which is conducted by Mr.. B., the
guests make congratulations to the
bride and groom. Then they begin to
eat, and the feast lasts till midnight
On the third day one naturally expects
that the young people should take .
wedding trip, but our real Japanese
custom was that the young bride stay
home in order to wash 1000 to 5000
dishes with the aid Of the young ladies'
of the community who come to the
bridegroom's house to help them tor
the cooking feast. So thus during
those three days the young people Of
the community have grand Jolly
time"

OUTFIELDING

1t isn't everyone who can get under
a fly and hold it, or field bounding
grounder and peg it accurately and
swiftly to the proper base. These are
but a few of the requirements of a
good outfelder. Practice and good
judgment will tell the story. The two
essential qualifications are a strong
arm and ability to sprint.
To be a successful fielder you must
think and act quick. You must take
the sun and wind into consideration.
You must know the ground upon
which you are working. A slight
roughness will often defect a ground
er. You should know the instant a
ball is hit just where it will go.
Fielding alone won't hold your job.
Do something and do it right with the
ball the instant it hits your glove. It

Pozieres was under the same British shell fire as the other villages suf- fered before the Germans Were forced out. Not human being was seen in the neiehborhoOd except near con- munication trench, in front or which q few British were making a shell crater into a field fortress. Across the way the Germans were engaged in the business, both having sneaked out of their positions in the night. The British yelled satirical thanks to the Germans for timbers for their trenches which were being made into British trenches.
 ] By the location of the shell bursts l in the morning it could be seen how 1 far the British had worked their way | up over night. Through all the army i there is the existence of eXultation | which seems to allow no one to be- i come tired-eXultation over an army 5 l first great victory.
 The death of comrades, officers of men, is expected as something in
 evitablc and there is a strange ab-
 sence on the part of the British of f any grimnass They go at it as part | of the days work.
 ] One of the humors of the week to ! the army is the German gas shells. i At first such numbers of them were astounding, especially those which do not explode but emit a volume of I gas. One British soldier called out: ! If you expect to kill us with them i you have to come over and hold
 them up to our noses
 Another called to the Germans: They aren't as sweet as eau de CO., i logne, but we like them better than your shrapnel and high explosives
 The British officers are worried 1 lest the British public, heari~ of the ! large volume of gas shells, insist that 1 the British begin the use of the
 weapon, which seems to be wholly
 dishelieved by the British army ex- perts.

AUGUST CAMP
 MAY RECEIVE
 PHOEN|C|ANS

That Phoenix will contribute her quota t0 the late summer training camp at Fort Douglas, Salt Lake City, is the belief of Albert D. Leyhe, who has been recently in touch with western headquarterS at San tTancls- co ard is constituted a sort of re cruiting officer of this section. In communication received yesterday, Levine finds that a few over 5G0 have enlisted for the training period from August q to September 16.
 By the time the Fort Douglas camp is opened, the federal appropriation will have become available. and re- cruits will receive their transparta- ton. subsistence and uniforms from the government. A deposit of Sl5 will be required of each, ten to go> to Lettering the mesa and five to be a sort of guarantee of good care for the federal equipment, placed in the rockies hands during his training. The five will be returned, together with the unused part of the ten, if equipment is turned in in good order Leyhe has received fifty enlist ment blanks and corresponding re- ] quisitions for clothing. He will pass 1 them out to those interested, and asks | that Phoenicians or nearby ArizOni | ans, intending to take the course, get 1 in touch at once, so that the meas urements of their uniforms may be sent to headquarters in aenty of 1 time.
 Among those interested in the l movement is C. V. Gulley, former captain of company A. Gulley will prOpahly be one of the ten or more | Phoenicians to take part in the en-
 campment. Next year, if the stunt
 goes well, Gulley and others who go this year, will form company of Phoenicians for the 1917 training lcamp. In that event men who take
 part this summer. will receive off
