MARRYING A PAsT.-Wc

MARRYING A PAST.-Would I

all have a past, some more, some less.
A mans life is full of past, so why
should he refuse to let the gentler sex
have a past, so long as they are hon

marry. For myself I'd take a chance
on the one with a past than on the
one that's got a hook and line out

COOPERATIVE PLAN.-We note
the labor movement, the raise in
wages, with the big boys coming
right back at US and raising the
prices of necessities, the labor in
junction by the courts, and it looks
gloomy.
Political bosses are getting busy
passing the bunk on how they will
pass prosperity around, yet, among
their friends.
Then we have agitatOrs who say
that we should get together and in
vest our savings in restaurants, gro
ceries and other business, so that we
can patronize our own interests and
some of us have our own jobs at
least
This looks good. If we took the
profits from the first venture and in
vested in another line of business our
income would double. We should be
hiring more and more of our own
members and investing in factories
and growing all the time as long as
we stuck to the system that gave US
all an equal opportunity.
We are all trained to make money
for the big boys and we should be
able to see how we can make it for
ourselves. All we need is a little more
nerve and ability to sacrifice a few
hours to open up this gold mine.
We have to own something quickly

PHILIPPINE TRADE
IN EMBR0IDERIES
Is HELPED BY WAR
nv Associated Pressl

MANILA, P. 1.-The European war
and the consequent closing Of the
European sources of production Of en-
broideries and laces has given a ire
mendous impetus to this industry in
the Philippines. Before the war it had
already reached large proportions in
Manila and the provinces, the public
schools were giving it their attention
in an effort to train girls in the art
of producing fabrics which would meet
commercial needs, and American COM
mercial interests had established agen-
cies here.
The war has increased this business
to such an extent that it is seemingly
impossible to meet the demand. At
present more than 10000 women in
Manila alone are, employed in shops
and homes on fine embroidery and
laces and the monthly payroll is in
excess of 100000 month.
