Filipino Women.

Women in the Philippines, from Fill
pino to Ifugao and from Kalinga to
Moro, have a lot to say about the way
things are run.
Ny first realization of the different
status of Philippine wOmanhood came
on the Pacific steamer on which | last
returned to the United States. A
young Filipino wanted to wrestle with
some of the Japanese on board. But
his wife was with him, and she feared
she would lose husband in the melee.
She vetoed his desire with considerable
ease and perfect effectiveness. If she
had been a Chinese, Japanese or Indian
Of the same class her husband would
have wrestled as long as he wanted to,
or could, and the woman in the case
would have kept her mouth shut. In
Turkey q man doesn't mention his
daughters. But in the Philippines in
several cases 1 have observed that the
woman holds the purse and the gavel.-

The Man In the Navy.

1t is probably true that most Of US
think of the navy as an adventure and
not as a career, says James B. Con-
molly in Golfers Weekly. Yet the navy
will take a young man, feed and clothe
him, give him a good all around train
ing and while he is yet in middle age
retire him with at least $50 month
for the rest of his life. No matter how
low his rating has been, that $50 a
month is certain after his thirty years
of service, while if he has shown mod
crate intelligence and ambition he can
count on close to 500 month, and
this without his having ever been a
commissioned officer. The years after
his retirement he may spend as he
pleases-go into business, get another
Job and make another wage on top of
his pension. He can go to Jail If he
prefers. Whatever he does, always
there is that sheet anchor Of a pension
to windWard.

Men Who Succeed.

Thomas e. Wilson, the Chicago pack
er, says in the American Magazine:
1.-THE higher up he is the more de-
pendent an executive becomes on those
under him. The real success Of an ex-
ecutive, it seems to me, rests on his
ability to promote wisely, and at the
same time to keep the force working
in harmony and contentment. A little
jealousy here and there in an organ
ization can ruin its efficiency. l have
known men who had enough general
grasp of things to have made great de-
partment managers, only they could
not get along tremendously with those
about them. If man can't get along
pleasantly with his associates he can
not successfully handle force of men.
l never like to promote man to re-
sponsible place If he has failed to work
in hearty cooperation with the men
alongside Of him. When you hear men
say of their boss, He is a good fellow
to work for you may know he Is a
successful executive"

Brandon the Executioner.

June 20, 1649, was the day on which
Richard Brandon, official executioner
for the city Of London, died, says the
Dundee Advertiser Tradition has 1t
that he decapitated Charles l. and was
paid $3.50 for his pains, all in half
crowns, within half an hour after the
deed. He is also reported to have been
presented with an orange stuck full OF
cloves and a handkerchief out of the
kings pocket as soon as he was car
ried from the scaffold. Brandon was
at once offered 20 shillings for the or
ange but he refused this sum and aft
erward accepted 10 shillings in a mar
ket thoroughfare. In the burial regis
ter of Whitechapel there may be seen
the following entry under 1919: June
21-Richard Brandon, man out of
Rosemary Lane. This Richard Bran
don is supposed to have cut off the
head of Charles l."

Machinery for Welch & Company Has
Arrived.
Expect to Rush Work Through and Paw
ing Will be Completed Within
Month.

The excavating machinery for
the C. 7. Welsh Company, who
have the contract for putting in
the paving on west Bayfield,
street, arrived in the city We'd
nesday over the Northern Pacific
railroad and is being unloaded
today.
The paving contractors are all
ready to start the work of eX-
cavating for the paving but they
are being delayed by the city in
the surface sewer work and the
city is being delayed by the per-
sons responsible for getting the
pipe.
On account of the delay in get
ting sewer pipe for the surface
sewer which is being laid by the
city this work has been held up
for some time and may delay the
excavating work some, but Street
Foreman Joe Arseneau expects
to rush this part Of the work and
will have the surface sewer COM
pleted within a short time.
The Welch company expects
to be able to lay the concrete
base for the paving in about ten
or twelve days time, providing
fair weather is had, and it will
take but a short time to finish
with the asphaltic top.
This will make a very pretty
street when the paving is COM
pleted and the improvement will
be welcomed by the property
owners on west Bayfield, street.

Per Cent According to

Bayfield, County certainly made
an excellent record in the recent
campaign to raise funds for the
Red Cross Association, exceeding
the county's proportion by over
fifty percent according to returns
which have just been tabulated,
and which have been forwarded
to the National Red Cross or
ganization.
The total which the county

100000 but this amount was
exceeded, $4595.60 having been
raised during the campaign.
This was divided among the
different branches as follows:
Washburn $2O31.1O
Iron River 10000
Port Wing 154.75

Bayfield, 10000
Mason 1920
Drummond 100000
Total $4594.6O
In addition to raising funds
for the Red Cross organization
the women of Bayfield, county

getting out supplies for the Red
Cross organization and as long
as the war lasts the women and
men of Bayfield, county can be
depended upon to do their share.
