And Watson Has Only Half His Wood
Pile Chopped

One day early this week a long,
lean hobo entered the Watson bak
cry and asked the junior partner, Mr..
Arthur Watson. if he might do some
work for something to eat. Mr.. Wat
son, thinking of the nice wood pile
he had at the back of the bakery
said Certainly" After the tramp
had exercised himself with the axe
for short time Mr. Watson filled
a large bag with tempting bakery
goodies and presented it to him.
This hobo had started out Of the
driveway when another appeared and
requested work for a bite to eat.
He was given the same job and Wat
son went inside of the bakery. Two
minutes later he returned and saw
the two tramps walking arm in arm
out of the driveway. The first tramp
had generously offered to share his
lunch with him so that the latter
would not have to work. An example
of Socialism.

FORGING AHEADM
INCREASE OF MEMBERSHIP
MOST ENCOURAGING
WASHINGTON REDS HEAD LIST

In spite of the fact that 1915 was
bad year for the growth of the So
cialist membership owing to the bad
financial conditions, Washington forg-
ed ahead and made the biggest gain
of any state in the union.
Only six states made a gain in So
cialist membership last year over
that of 1914 They are: Washington
Oklahoma. Maine, Vermont, Georgia
and Delaware.
The total membership decreased
14,201 last year under that of 1914
The biggest loss was made by the
state Of California, which lost total
of 1,709 members. Among the other
western states showing a decrease,
were Idaho and Oregon, with loss
of 240 and POI respectively.
Washington gains seventh place on
the list for size of membership. In
1914 it was tenth The states, ar
ranged in accordance with their nu-
merical standing, come in the follow
ing order: New York 97S3, Oklahoma
1907, Pennsylvania 1865, Illinois COOL,
Ohio 427S, Wisconsin 1860, Washing
ton 1922
WASHINGTON sEcoND!
Oklahoma stands first state in the
Union for number OF party members
in proportion to the population. Wash
ington follows Oklahoma, and shows
double the membership of, say, Wis
consin, in proportion to it's total popu-
Iation, and three times that of Ohio.
Altogether now to catch up with
and then surpass, Oklahoma at the
end OF 1916!

cred that uric acid was present in the
system, scientific men have been MAX
ing experimental investigations and it
is the almost universal opinion of our
best medical men that the presence of
uric acid in the system in excess is
the cause of rheumatism and govt
When the urate salts are precipitated
out of the blood into the solid tissue
structure the person suffers from govt
or rheumatism in the muscles and
joints, or suffers from lumbago and
pain in the back muscles The first
aim of the sufferer should be to get
rid of the uric acid, which, in excess,
is poison, and to do this it is we'll
to drink a pint of hot water morning
and night-get tablets of Anuric at
the nearest drug store and take them
before meals regularly. Anuric will
do no harm to the system and will car
ry off the uric acid by stimulating the
kidneys. Then tincture iodine may be
painted over the swellings, or in more
severe cases hot linseed poultices may
be applied to soothe the local symp-
toms. But most important is it for the
sufferer to abstain from red meat to
diet, drink only lemonade or hot water,
and take Anuric for a considerable
time as it causes a drainage outward
of the uric acid and is many times
more potent than lithia and usually
one finds that it dissolves uric acid as
hot water as it does sugar.-Adv.

 IN T0N|GHT'S GAME
Record Crowd Expected to See Alabama Meet
 Locals

record breaking crowd is expect ed to attend the Alabama -Birmin gham Athletic club basketball game tonight on the locals court, judging from the number of reservations made yester- day. Secretary Beavins stated yester- day that ample seating room would be provided in expectation of the crowd.
 The game will be a corker The Crimson five is one of the best in the south as shown by the defeat of the B. A. c. and the r. M C. A. in pre- vious games with the university five. Captain Griff Harsh has built won derful team which is especially noted for its excellent passwork.
 The locals know the style of the Crimson and have been practicing hard for the past week for the game Coach Brummage stated yesterday that the team was in good condition for the game and, although expecting an ex- tra hard fight, he was confident that the locals would escape with a win.
 In the game at the university sev- eral weeks ago, the locals held the Crimson to four point victory. Local followers are predicting the Crimson defeat on account of the great dis advantage of playing on visiting court. The locals court is only about one-half as large as the new Crimson court. which has out of bounds on all four sides. The locals court is out of bounds on only one side. Other minor details give the locals the advantage.
 The locals lineup will be the same as in former games. Captain McGowan and Brazelton will be used at forwards with Robertson at center. Gil1am and Seals will be the guards. None of these players need any introduction and To- cal followers are only hoping that they live up to the standards set in pre- vious games.
 The Crimson five is composed of Wells and Smith at forwards; Bowron at center and Marsh and Hagan at guards Wells and Smith are two dan gerous forwards, often making shots from seemingly impossible angles. Bowron is good shot and like the remainder of the team is a good passer. Harsh and Hagan work we'll together and guard exceptionally we'll.
 The two teams are well matched but the advantage of the home court casts the odds for the victory to the local quintet. The game will start at S:3O o'clock The usual dance will follow Coach Prirchard will referee
