women ENDORSE ARMY POST ANDASK
FREE WHARFAGE At MUNICIPAL DOCK

the benefit of the farmers, who
do most of their shopping on that
day, was placed in the hands of
the market committee with power
to act.
Mrs. Yarnell also spoke of the
need for ferry and better pub
lie market, and said farmers
should organize to sell their pro-
duce.
County Agriculturist Cole de-
clared himself anxious to help
farmers in organizing. He also
urged the need of a ferry, and "a
real farmers market" He ex-
pressed surprise at the high
wharfage charges
Pans Perkins Press
Health Commissioner E. A.
Rich spoke on the market and
high cost ofsliving questions, pre-
facing his talk with a denial of
statements he had been quoted as
having made during the recent in
vestigation.
When the mayor appointed his
committee" he said, "the News
and Ledger instructed their re.
porters to throw ridicule upon it;
consequently, many things that
were said in the meetings were so
garbled and misquoted that life
with some of the women in Taco
ma has become a difficult prob
lem. Some of the statements
were outright gross misrepresen-
tations.
Too Many Middlemen
Some of the women on the
committee expressed themselves
strongly to the effect that clubs
were causing women to give less
attention to household duties.
myself am a firm believer in wom-
ems clubs. | don't know that 1t
does the city much good for wom-
en- to get together and study
Michael Angelo, but if it does the
women good, all right. Clubs like
this one, however, which take up
such matters as you are now dis
cussing, are of the greatest good
to the community"
DR.. Rich outlined the sub
stance of the report of the mayors
committee, laying much of the
blame for the high cost of living
on too many transactions be-
tween the catching of fish in the
sound, and the frying-pan; and
between the apple in the orchard
and the apple pie on the table.

Endorse Army Post
With only one voice raised
against the proposition, the club
enthusiastically endorsed the pro-
ject to bring the army post to
Tacoma.
Mrs. ]. w. Reynolds declared
herself opposed to it both on tie
ground of the preparedness doc
trlne, and for moral reasons.
A resolution introduced by Mrs.
w. S. Kennedy, 1928 North Saith,
and supported by Mrs. A. Frazier,
asking the street car contrary to
heat the cars, was adopted. Later,
Mrs. Frazier asked DR.. Rich
whether he as health officer did
not have jurisdiction in the mat
ter, and he replied that the ques-
ition had been up before them and
it had been decided that heated
cars were unnecessary in this eli
mate and unhealthful in any eli
mate. A second vote showed a tie
on the proposition, and OIL a third
It was lost. DR.. Rich suggested
request for cleaner cars and bet
ter ventilation, and this the club
voted to make.

Leaders Of Democracy RuffIed.

Dubuque Times-Journal: Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald, democratic
chairman OF the house committee on
appropriations, condemned the last
congress for extravaganza and is con-
demning this for slowness and gener-
al inefficiency. Senator Newlands,
also a democrat, attributed the in
dustrial depression OF 1914 to the
unwise legislation OF the dem ocratic
party. Several democratic congress
men, apparently entertaining similar
views, have announced that they will
not be candidates for reelection.
When democratic leaders condemn
the party, how can the average voter
be expected to support it?

CAT CAUSED MUCH TROUBLE
Family Pet Has Been Formally eau
toned that 1.-THE Cave" Is Not
Public Property.

Out In Woodruff place number Of
small boys have banded together and
done what most boys have done II
they were realfor-sure boys-built a
cave, says the Indianapolis News. Ap-
preaching this cave is a long under
ground tunnel about two feet square.
What there Is In this tunnel In the
way of side chambers and the like, the
fathers and mothers never will know,
but at the inside end of the tunnel Is
the den. about five feet square, built
in side hill ind as dark as the most
cavernous depths of Wyandotte
cave.
One of the youngsters belonging to
the band of cave dwellers hurried
home from school the other afternoon,
dcnned his cave outfit. and made for
the tunnel. Crawling In fat on the
ground, he made his way toward the
den. Arriving there, he heard scram-
bling noise just ahead and two fiery
spots doomed up in the darkness. His
teeth chartered with fright. He
couldn't back away. he was too fright
ened to go forward, and there was
no chance Of escape at either side.
The fiery spots became active ard the
boy became panicky.
Just what happened in there the
outside W. rid will never know. but
when the tat--it was he family cat
came out of the tunnel 1t was going
some. No cat ever moved fast9r, and
1. didn't stop until 1t had reached q
barn three lots away.
And the boy-when he emerged bis
face was as white as the arctic snow
and he was moving rapidly for the
open. The next afternoon the boy
painted a sign on which were the
words: The Cave" in white paint, on
a blazing yellow back ground. Gazing
proudly at the sign he explained:
Now, II that fool cat can read, hey
keep out of there"
