sAMoANs INITIATE EUROPE
They Wear Civilized Clothing and
Eat Fancy Food-Native Homes
Now Made Of Sawed Pine.

The natives Of Samoa are exhibiting
a marked inclination to initiate Euro
pean manners. The beautiful siapos,
ha1lowed by age-long usage, are dis
appearing more and more, their places
being taken by imported cloth. Wom-
en- and girls like to put on greater
quantities Of European wearing ap-
pare1.
In the vicinity of Apfa native Sa-
moan house and kitchen utensils have
been replaced by European articles Of
less worth. New foods are being in
troduced. Instead of taro, bananas
and yams, the natives now eat rice,
biscuits and bread, and even drink
coffee in the morning. The new foods
however have but limited number of
consumers at present.
The native huts were formerly COW
cred with matches of sugar cane. In
sects have destroyed the sugar-cane
plantations, and the natives now cover
their dwellings with corrugated iron,
which gives them much less protection
against the sun during the day and
against the cold at night The Samo-
an house is disappearing, too, and it's
place is being taken by square build
ings of American pine.
The total native population Of the
Samoan group Is about $4,000. There
are $500 whites and half-castes.

PInIoned, Saved by Penknlfe.

Caught beneath a falling tree,
Thomas J. Todd, farmer, near Fed
eralsburg, Md, had a narrow escape
from being crushed to death. He was
passing through woods on his farm
when large tree suddenly fell, knock
ing him down and pinioning him be-
meath it.
Realizing his perilous position, with
no help near, he reached in his pocket
and managed to get his knife. Lying
on his back, undergoing severe pain,
he cut down two saplings and with the
prongs Of these, after an hours work,
succeeded in prying the tree off his
lower limbs far enough to let him
squeeze out.
He was brought to physician in
fredericksburg and his wounds dressed.

How Rainfall Affects Crops.

The enormous value Of rainfall to
the agriculturist is set forth by E. J..
Cragoe In the Journal Of Geography.
He calculates that the increase in the
wheat crop in the Dakotas, California,
Washington, Kansas and Nebraska for
each inch Of rainfall above four
inches in May and June represents a
value of about s15,00O,000. The fig
ures for corn are more impressive:
one inch of rainfall above three inches
in July in Indiana, Illinois, Kansas,
Iowa, Ohio and Nebraska, increases
the value of the crop by $4,000, 900.
Moreover, 1t was found that when the
July rainfall averaged less than 3.4
inches the yield of corn averaged ten
bushels less to the acre than when it
was more than "A inches. This rep
resents an increased value Of about
$250,0OO,000.

IRON BACTERIA ARE FOUND
Were First Discovered in Pipes In
Rotterdam in 1887, But Are Little
Known In This Country.

Iron bacteria were first discovered
in iron pipes In Rotterdam in 1887
Comparatively little is known about
them in this country. Bacteriolo-
gists claim that they are In reality q
higher form Of life than the ordinary
varieties Of bacteria.
They thrive in water which contains
iron, and authorities have concluded
that they are attached to that metal.
Iron bacteria are believed to have
the power Of storing iron away in the
cells of their bodies, after taking it
from the water Some savants main
tain that the bacteria assisted very
materially in forming the rocks OF
prehistoric ages. The bacteria be-
come saturated with an iron oxide as
they develop and increase.
Myriads of them are found in
springs. If an individual Is of an in
vestigatiye turn of mind he may be
curious enough to scrape some of the
red deposit that floors a spring OF

springs, and examine it through a mi

Combatinq Gas Fumes.

The armies of the allies are using
sponges or gauze soaked with some
solution to absorb the chlorine and
bromine gases employed by the Ger
mans in trench warfare. Ordinary
'hypo," or sodium thiosulphate, is
widely used for this purpose and it
gives generally good results except
that the reaction between the hypo
and the chlorine or bromine liberates
some hydrochloric and sulphuric acid.

have Saturday afternoons to do as
they please. AS with the miners,
smeltermen and provincial govern

Boxing Contest

Nearly 1900 boxing fans, hailing
from Everett, Seattle and Tacoma, sat
down in the sunshine and enjoyed a
fast succession of boxing bouts pro-
noted by Charles Francis Manning
and Jack Healey. A good sprinkling
of the fair sex saw the show.
Frank German and Laurence Hall,
billed at the main event, failed to
demonstrate as much activity as the
crowd expected and after a mediocre
session German received the decision
and retained his bantamweight
honors on the Pacific coast.
Travie Davis of Everett and Lloyd
Madden of Seattle dished up the
fastest bout of the afternoon, the
Everett boy earning the decision after
landing the largest number of clean
punches. The session started out
with rush and both pecked each
other with straight left drives that
created intense excitement among the
fans.
Kid Lavigne and Ruby" Morgan,
who was announced as being a resi-
dent of New York City, opened the
bill In the last round Lavigne sue
ceeded in getting a half-nelson hold
on Morgan nadhte bout was declared
a draw.
Another fast bout was a draw event
between Joe Harrahan and Joe Far
rell, both of Seattle, who put up a
clever exhibition brimful of action.
Farrell is perhaps the fastest feather
weight in the Northwest and he had
a big job on his hands in exchanging
punches with is rugged opponent, who
bored in all the time. Harrahan packs
hefty punch which he landed clean
in the third round. In the fourth
round Farrell came back and plucked
a slice out of Harrahan's eye, which
evened up the affair

tion pictures of the events from an
elevated and movable stand near the
ringsde.

A WORD TO THE
NON -UNIONIsT

AS an individal the workman is as
helpless as a sapling in a tempest
He may say that he intends to work
for whom he pleases, for as many
hours as he pleases, and he may feel
that he has a moral right to do So
but he has not.
And then again, he should know,
as he will sooner or later, perhaps
when it is too late, that he must ask
his employer for leave to work for
what he chooses to pay, and for as
many hours as he desires
Organized labor has been able,
through united action and collective
bargaining, to shorten the workday,
raise wages, and in many ways i'm
prove the conditions of the workers; ;
it has prevented reduction in the pay;
it has made the homes better; it has
secured better clothes, better food,
more comforts and has made the shop,
factory and the mine better place in
which to work
Organized labor has been the fight
ing force in state legislatures and in
congress, not only for labor, but for
all men; it has compelled the passage
of laws to protect the health of the
workers; to take children from the
mill and the factory and place them
in school; to limit the hours of labor
for women and fix their wages above
living wage; to prevent the loss OF
lives and limbs and to compel the pay
ment for injuries to body or health
1t has done this and more, more than
we can enumerate here,
Every time organized labor achieves
victory it not only raises the status
of the union man and his family, bu
of the non-union man and his family
as well, And on the other hand, wher
a non-union man takes another work

A FEW DON rs

l. Don't condemn the labor move
ment because you know of "Objec-
tonable features" Every human in
stitution has some imperfections.
>. Don't forget that organization in
creases wages and shortens the work
ing day, making work steadier
8. Don't shirk the moral obligation
to do all you can to uphold the dignity
of your trade-to elevate the standard
of living
4 Don't forget that the vast ma
jorlty of your trade is organized.
What is good for the majority is good
for the minority.
5 Don't be blind to your own in
terests-unionism helps all working
men and all society.
Go Don't let so-called "independ-
ence' prevent you from being un-
selfish and fraternal We are all
more or less dependent on some one
or something. mo man stands alone. :"
Get closer together.
I. Don't retard our progress by re-
naming a weapon in the hands of the
employer.
s. Don't forget that our interests
are identical. Improvement in your
working conditions means improve.
fent for all our crafts.
9. Don't say unions cant accom-
plish their purpose" Over 1000, ,O0C
of unionists think different.
10. Don't think that having gotten
along without the union for five OF
fifty-five years that cit is useless tC
you Organized labor has helped yot
and is helping now-through better
conditions and increased wages.
