It has been introduced by organized labor in variety of places and especially by coal miners where the union CO operative stores has taken the place of the company commissary with wonderful results. And that these successes have warranted it's intro duction elsewhere can hardly be de nied
 It is only matter of time when the rejuvenated cooperative stores will appear in all communities, be- cause the terrific experience of pur- chasers throughout the country on account of the arbitary increase in costs of living, are rapidly driving the workers to this policy as the only way of making their wages go sufficiently far towards making ends meet. In the majority of cases they do not do so now.

tion, all or none of which may be- really responsible
 There is no earthly reason why this neglected field should not re- ceive general attention. It is astounding that in this the twentieth century there should be such com plete economic ignorance and that not an effort is made to overcome it. Yet that this is so, is patent to anyone. When the high price of a loaf of bread confronts the people they blame the spectators, the high freight rates, the farmers, the mill- CTS and the bakers with about even responsibility. That surely. is gro tesque enough. But even in the matter of paper, the publishers ot the country are wholly at sea as to what the costs of the commodity they daily use are in the matter of production, and whether they are not paying wholly beyond | the actual values in white paper. | The ignorance is universal. And be- cause there is such ignorance the work of gouging the people and robbing labor has become easily enough the high standard of efficient art it is now, with absolute impun- ity. ss
 Surely it ought to be as impo ant to understand the costssof the processes involved in making coat as it is to understand the process itself. Yet while the textile industry is familiar, the machinery of the clothing factory is popularly under stood, and the various other pro- cesses are commonly and intelligent ly followed, not any effort is made to accompany that inquiry with a knowledge of the actual costs in the whole process.
 Yet it is evident that before the middleman can be successfully busted and before prices can be brought within reason, and the cause of the high prices directly placed, the en- tire processes in industry must be analysed as to cost before any in- telligent action can follow.
 Only the other day at an investi- gation on the subject, the independ- ents in the manufacture of gasoline, a by-product of petroleum, admitted that they could not explain how the prices of wholesale gasoline were set. It was not set by them, and it never did bear any relation to the costs of production. The price was determined beforehand by the trust and 26 Broadway dictated what it should be.
 So when any investigation is made of high prices, necessarily if it is to be intelligent, it must familiarize the public with production and dis tribution costs, until then wenWili be ignorant men unable to solve any thing.
 Bring this right home to the aver age Alaskan. The prices which are charged are considered high. And the costs of living are blamed, upon variety of people: upon the whole salers, upon the trusts, upon the steamship companies and upon the lighterage companies as well as upon the storekeepers.
 Manifestly they are not all equally responsible and manifestly it is i'm portant that in saddling responsibil- ity, we have to be much more famil- jar with the facts at issue.
 That the cooperative movement is generally receiving an impetus due to the higher costs of living is

of the new vehicle and although it
has only been in town a short time
it is beginning to establish record

Chinese Claim Nipponese
Thus Oppose Monarchial
Movement.

I Picking, Jam 3-Bandits have be-
come so active in Inner Mongolia and
have been so successful in resisting
| the Chinese army that the government
now refuses to issue passports for
Inner Mongolia and for much of China
proper lying near the Monaghan Dor
der. Many robberies have been COM
m1tted near Kalgan and Dolon-nor.
Kalgan is less than 100 miles north
west of Picking, while >Dolon-nor is
about so miles north of the Chinese
capital.
China organized a Monaghan guard
of about 5000 soldiers some time ago.
Practically all this guard has deserted
and taken its arms over to the ban
dts. Loyal troops have been sent
from other parts Of China within the
last month, and rumors have reached
Pekfng that their conflicts with the
bandits have been EverA disastrous to
the regular organization. Reports are
constantly reaching Picking concern
ing the robbery of. missionaries and
other foreigners in the Monaghan sec
ton.
Capt. Isaac Newell, U S. A., mill
tary attache of the American legation,
and representatives of other legations,
have recently been to Kalgan making
inquiries concerning the situation in
Inner Mongolia. Their Investigations
indicate that travel IS likely to be I'M
safe in Mongolia for some time.
Travellers returning from the
troubled section all say that the ban
dts are unusually well provided with
modern arms and ammunition. Many
of the rifles used by the outlaws are of
Japanese manufacture and practically
new.
Chinese newspapers and many Chi
nese officials charge the Japanese with

It is stated that the Emperor is suf-

even asserted that it would be neces-

POULTRYMEN LOOK
FOR BEST SHOW IN
HISTORY OF CITY

Entries for the big eighth annual
exhibition of poultry, dogs and pet
stock to open tomorrow morning un-
der the auspices the Bridgeport
Consolidated Poultry association at
Eagles hall, closed today, with the
exception of the dog entries, whic h
will be received until tomorrow morn
ing By the enormous number re-
ceived, indications point to the best
exhibition ever given in Bridgeport.
Especially keen is the rivalry in
the White Wyandotte class, for which
there are no less than $50 entries.
Undoubtedly interest in this class is
stimulated by the beautiful silver cup
offered for the best cock, hen, cock
ere1 and pullet by the National White
Wyandotte club, and all the entrants
are anxious to win this trophy and
the honor that goes with it.
OF course there will be freaks to
add interest to the exhibits, and that
of a three-Iegged barred rock will un-
doubted1y attract much attention.
This will be the first time that this
remarkable chicken has been shown
in this vicinity, and all poultry fan
ciers will be interested in it. This
sion price.
A wealth of special prizes in all
dog classes is bringing in a record
breaking number of entries, and some
of the finest bred brands of canine
beauty will be seen at the show to-
morrow. The prizes are handsome
and valuable, and will undoubtedly
serve to put local dog fanciers and
breeders on their rnettle to make the
best sh owing.
The enthusiasm in the local show is
greater than can be rem en1bered at
any previous exhibition, and undoubt
edly Eagles hall will be thronged
from 10 a. M. to 10 p. m. for the next
three days by dog and poultry fam
ciers.
