A Tool Basket is Always Handy.

One secret of getting things done
quickly and easily is to have the
needed tools within easy reach Of
your hand. For that reason every
woman should have her own special
handy tool basket filled with certain
things that may be needed to make
small repairs about the house just as
she has a sewing basket fitted out
with sewing necessities.
1t only takes some time and lit
tie money to get the tools together. A
grape basket or fruit carrier makes
the holder for them. The basket is
better than the carrier because it has
a handle which will allow it to hang
from the arm leaving the hands Tree
to carry other things, an important
item when one is planning to save
steps.
A complete outfit which provides
for the common household contilger-
cies may be bought for 81. This in
cludes the following; Tack hammer,
Toe; box of tacks, sc; brass hooks,
sc; assorted nails, Sc screw eyes, sc;
box opener, loo; picture wire, loo:
ball Of twine, l0c scissors, Toe;
putty knife, loo; pincers, loo; assert
ed screws. sc; brass-headed lacks
sc; combination toolholder, 10c. In
the hollow handle of this last tool
you will find tack claw, screw driv-
er, and two avis which may be TAX
en- out and adjusted to the handle
when needed.

PREPAREDNESS PROGRAM

Consistent argument is all on the
side of the men who oppose an in
crease OF our military armament be-
cause the situation created by the
present struggle makes attack from
Europe preposterous, but as common
sense is the most uncommon thing
in the world is it both impolitic and
suicidal to oppose some greater in
crease in our military strength.
The most powerful elements in ia
vor of great preparedness are the
great, robbing. plundering monopolis-
tic crooks who have gro n fat thru.

sponsible for the existen of money

Roosevelt. Taft, Hughes, Fairbanks,
Lodge and numerous others must be
kept out of a voice in our public af-
fairs. This is ali that is necessary to
prevent the change in our form OF
government and curtailment of suf-
frage to the masses.

VICTORY FOR MINERS

The legions of mining multitudes
who have steadily progressed thru a
long train of years, enduring untold
sacrifice, meeting with diseouraging
defeat here and gaining foothold
there, have at last reached what may
be termed eliminating point in their
great struggle for living wages and
just working conditions.
The political situation, the increas-
ed prosperity of the mine owners, the
immense foreign demand for miner
al products, the certainty of great loss
to the monopolists who own or con-
troll the direction of mining affairs
from the capitalists standpoint in the
event of a general shut down por-
tends a victory for the workers.
But the fact that an election is fast
approaching and that general tie-up
of traffic would disturb prosperity will
be the greatest asset in favor of the
miners because the government itself
cannot interfere on the side of capi-
tai, as has always been the case in
the past, without losing immense
prestige.
In the present situation, the politi-
cal party in power will serve moral
purpose as we'll as play good politics
by lending its support to the aid OF
the miners should that be necessary.
Why? Because the miners deserve
more than they are asking and be-
cause in politics the forces working
against the best interests of the work
ers are certain to line up solidly
against the pretensions of any Dem
ocratic candidate for the Presidency
and great majority of Democratic
aspirants for congress.
In an election the Democrats have
everything to gain and nothing tc
lose by lending their influence TOWARD
assisting the mine-workers because
their open and defiant stand on th'
other side would not gain them tht
support of a monopoiistic power ii
finance and industry.
There is a time when it is botl
good politics and craftsmanship tt
come out boldly and aggressively OF
the side of the forces of organized
labor and the coming campaign OF th'
miners for justice offers an opportu
nitv on the part of the Administration
which I believe will not be over
looked.

HELPING UNEMPL
New Bill in Congress Will Help the Individual
Settler on Land

Among the things connected with
our Government for which we should
be thankful are two that now and
again arrest the attention of the demo-
crat. One is the fact that when the
bill was drawn creating the Depart
ment of Labor it was made SO broad
and so definite that those in charge
OF the Department. were free to shape
almost any course; and the other is
the fact that the men chosen to shape
the course of the new Department
should have been William B. Wilson
and Louis F, Post Precedents have
great weight, and it is fortunate for the
people that the president established
in this Department, which so directly
concerns SO many of the people.
should be laid down by men who un-
derstand democracy, and who know
how to apply it. The Department Of
Labor may in after years be filled
with reactionaries, with lawyers, ban
kers, and all sorts of men Of affairs
who know not the mass Of the people
but the precedents now established
will ever be restraint upon efforts
to turn the Department from its pur-
pose.

In response to recommendation in
the recent report of the Secretary OF
labor for the relief of the unemployd,
Congressman Robert Crosser-an-
other man who is setting democratic
orecedents-has introduced a bill
'reating "a special administrative
hoard of three members. to be known
rs the National Colonization Board,
to consist of the Secretaries of the
Departments of Labor, of the Interior,
ands of Agriculture, of which the Sec
retary of Labor shall be chairman" ;
but it is provided that "either of the
said Secretaries may designate an AS
sistant Secretary in his department
to act on the said board in his stead.

pose of giving the Colonization Board

The stamps are to be affixed to
letters after the manner of Red Gross

tional expositions. Each stamp car
rfes the slogan, For the Eight II our
