TEE RIDE ON TEE DUCKS BACK
A Sample Of Third Grad compo-
sitiou

Once upon a time there was a
family ~ mice who lived in the Ion
Of farmers house. One day they
had no food and sent their little son
10 find something. He ran in the
kitchen where the cook was getting
dinner. He ran across the floor 10
where the cat had been eating his
breakfast. The cook heard a noise
and she turned around; she saw the
mouse. She called the cat When
the cat came in she saw the mouse
and she bounced on him and ate him
up. When his mother and father
heard this they were sorry and Mr..
Mouse said he would go and ask the
fairies 10 help them. So he packed
his grip and told his wife and chill
dren good-by. On his way he met
duck, and Mr.. Mouse asked the
duck TO take him on his back TO the
fairies. "All right I will" said the
duck. So the next day they found
the fairies sitting in the water lii
lies. The mouse bowed low before
the Queen OF Fairies The Queen OF
Fairies asked him what he wanted.
Then Mr.. Mouse told his story. The
Queen said she would help him.
Then she gave him little red cloak
that would make him invisible and
told him that when the cat tried TO
catch them and il she did catch
them she could not hurt them. Then
the mouse thanked the Queen and
went home and the cat never caught
them and they lived happy ever
after.

THE PUBLIC FORUM
THE 8-HOUR LAW.-Since the g.

hour law was passed. ny COuSIGSS
many writer's for the kept press are
criticizing the president, senate, con-
gTess and the four brOtherhOOds for
their action. These writers are
either making profits off the work
ers and therefore want long hours
for them or they are ignorant of the
possibility of an 8-hOur day and the
organized movement to attain it.
One of these writer's had very sar-
castle article in Sunday mornings
Tribune, in which he wound up with
the sentence:
Let us have a 4-hour law for
everybody"
AS sarcastic as he meant this ar
ticle if he had stopped one minute
to figure he would have seen in one
minute that a 4-hour day or even

can be attained by the workers

for public ownership and operation

stance, the financial statement of
the Ford Motor Co. q take my hat
off to Mr.. Ford as the most human
and greatest fnancier of this coun-
try. Having 49,87O employees, Of
whomG36,826 get SIS or more per day
of 8 hours, the company made a
profit of $59,994,118 for the year
ending July 81, 1916.
Dividing this profit by the 49,87O>
employees shows a profit of S1,2O3.O1
on each empIoye for the year, even
by paying the highest wages and
meeting the strongest competition.
Allowing 300 workdays per year at
SIS per day is a salary of $1,000 per
year. Dividing this $1,000 per year
into the $59,994,118 profit shows
that the profit would employ 39,329

WHAT is COMMON LABOR

WIN 10 SSulNlSlN GFNPSD-
AND W1Y?-DiscussiOn of ques-
lions, social, economic and political,
in current literature disclose a pecu-
liar twist in the minds of the peoples
instructors. The uncommon labOrer
who shOVels. editorials into the Trib-
une machine remarks that common
labor never before commanded sU-
good wages. - 1t is, therefore, per-
tinent to inquire what is common
labor and why common? Also how
did it get where it could command
any wages at all?
Is it the bodily eXertion that is so
common that it is to be despised and
avoided wherever possible? The
tone of the discussion indicates an
attitude of mind that is PharisaicaL
This attitude looks down from it's i'm
aginary height upon this common
labor, comedies it's existence and the
necessity of it's having wages, but it
ignores the fact that upon the basis

1880 employees working 8 hours
per day makes a total of 398,960
hours per day. Add to the 49,87O
employees the 39,329 employees hired
from the profit makes total Of &c.
1919 employees. Now divide between
them the 389, $50 hours of work per

Another instance is the Pullman
Co., which cleared $12,OO0,000 over
all expenses last year. The average
was about 5000 employees per, year.
5000 employees working 10 hours per
day makes $4,000 hours per day.

men at 1000 per year for one year.
5000 workers plus the $4,000 hired
from the profits makes 1900 en-

About three years ago theeground in front of the traps at the du Pont Gun Club was mined and a pile of lead of s3 tons was the result. A portion of the grounds of a club at Colum- bus, Ohio, was put through the sieve and 26 tons resulted. A year ago a second trip was made to the du Pont Club at Wilmington, Dela., and re- suits equal to the first attempt were obtained. Other club grounds are now undergoing similar treatments.
 The methods of securing this lead are simple. Plots of ground about 3x5 are skinned about two inches deep. This topsoil is then put in piles and allowed to stand two or three days until it dries. It is then put into a large coarse cylinder sieve, which gets rid of the earth contain ing no lead. Then it is put through a fine sieve and more dirt is removed. If the earth sticks several screenings are necessary. Then the remainder of the shooting territory is handled in the same manner. On grounds like the du Pont Club it takes only 60 lbs. of earth to give l ID. of lead.

MAYOR GILL AssAILs
 EVERETT MILL OWNERS

PORTLAND, Nov. 27.-Mayor Gill
 of Seattle, talking here yesterday to
 a gathering of city officials, and busi-
 ness men, gave them his views about
 the I. W. w. troubles in Everett
 which resulted in the death of two
 Everett citizens and five members of
 the raiders in the shooting affray, November 5.
 "The city and county both are con- trolled by the mill companies. Every
 thing is run by the sheriff of Snoho-
 mish county, the man who was in the fight on the dock ten days ago. and such things as the administration of the city ordinance about speaking on the street is taken out of the hands lof the city authorities.
 Thousands of men with automat- lie revolvers in their pockets throng the streets of Everett. If a stranger in overalls comes into the town he is asked what he was doing by two or three men. If he would not give a good account of himself he had to leave the town.
 "A few days before the fight on the dock 70 men. the I. W. W.'s or their |sympathizers. were taken out into the woods. lined up and then beaten good and plenty. Sixteen men were in a Seattle hospital as consequence lone with . broken arm.
 "They went back to Everett that Sunday with guns, determined they would not be beaten again. The mill interests at Everett have brought about a remarkable condition in the town"

THANKsGIvING.

Probably in our remote rural dif- tricts the spirit of Thanksgiving sn It's original simplicity remains. Warmers are closer to nature than we arc in the city. They have good reason to be thankful if their crops are a suc- cess. They are like the New Engla nd fathers in that respect and while in the more prosperous days of agricul- ture one expects something more than a scanty living from tho soil, the fact remains that the farmer is more de- voutly thankful, for the good thingy in life than any other person. He is indebted really to the Maker for the sunshine that has ripened his harvest and for the rains that have watered 1t.
 But city life is more artificial. The battle is not SO much with the forces of nature as with men. We expect vastly more than we receive and feel injured if we do not receive more. We are inclined to thank ourselves for our successes and to blame the other fellow if we fail. Thanksgiv- ing day is a day of feasting rather than of prayer. We dine at the cafe instead of around the family board at home. There is no blessing pro- nounced over the turkey. We have lost our faculty of giving thanks.
 Lest we forget! We can at least make some one less fortunate than ourselves thankful and in doing so we may feel in some measure the spirit of Thanksgiving.-Cartoons Magazine.
