WAR SAVING
CERTIFICATES
PAY 4PER CENT

Investment in war saving certifi-
Gates will be as simple as postage
stamps under plan announced Tues
day night by Secretary McAdoo for
the nation wide certificate campaign
which he will start in December.
Any person may invest an amount
as low as 25 cents at time.
Postoffices, banks, railroad sta
tions, factories, stores and at many
other public stations where accred-
tied persons will act as agents they
will be sold. At the 1918 selling
price, stock certificates will yield a
per cent compounded quarterly. They
will date January 2, 1918, and will
mature January 1, 1923. The entire
wealth and security of the United
States is behind them.

WAGE INCREASES
MADE BY PAINTERS

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Nov. 1.-THE
Painter and Decorator, official mag
azine of the Brotherhood of Painters,
Decorators and Paper Hangers,
says:
"Since January 1, more than 800
local unions-one-th third of the mem
bership of the brotherhood-ha
gained an increase in wages or a
shorter workday-some both. And
this is not all of the story. Many
Of the 700 local unions that made
no demands are working under two
and three year agreements which
provide for an advance in wages
each year. This record is second to
none. No other international trade
union has accomplished more within
the same brief period. And the gains
made were substantial gains, so that
the wages of the painter and paper
hanger, the glazier and others of the
kindred trades compare favorably
with those of other workers in the
building industry.
eve cannot afford to rest on our
oars. Conditions will not permit us
to relax our efforts a single mo-
ment Liberal as have been the in
.ereases in wages won, they have not
been sufficient to meet the increase
in the cost of living"

'HOCH DER KAISER"

They are drinking a toast in Hades
now,
A toast to his German Nobs,
And every time that old Satan drinks
He drearily sobs and sobs.
And here is the toast that the de-
mons drink
AS they stand on the sulphurous
shore:
"Now here's to the Kaiser, and may
he live
Forever, and then some more!"
"Now why do you drink" to Satan
one said,
ga toast so extremely queer?
If the damnable Kaiser were GER
tainly dead,
Why shouldn't you welcome him
here?"
Then Satan replied, with the ghost of
a tear,
And frown on his venomous
face:
"He knows so much more of the
methods of hell
That I'm certain he'd capture nv
place. "-Hoquiam Labor Press.

"FICKETS POISON GAS"

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IT,
Under the above caption the San
Francisco Bulletin makes the follow
ing comment on the activity of Dis
trict Attorney Fickert in the So
called bomb conspiracy cases:
"Boiled down, much of the Flick
ert argument in the cases against
Billings, Thomas Mooney, Mrs.
Mooney, and now Weinberg has been
that the crime was so horrible that
the defendants must be guilty. 1t
was to foster this illusion that the
prosecution chose to try the pris-
oners. on an indictment charging
them with the death, under peculiar
ly shocking circumstances, of one of
the woman victims. A jury cannot
help feeling horror and indignation
at the details of such crime and it
is not impossible for a grandilo-
quent prosecutor to turn these emo
tions, like a stream of liquid fire,
against any person who happens to
be sitting in the prisoners box. Pa
triotism, civic pride and filial affec-
ton can be made to do yeoman serv-
ice in the mouth of cheap orator
even when moments thought
would convince any sensible person
that they had nothing to do with the
question under examination. But
the use of such weapons stamps the
users as charlatans. In the bomb
cases, from first to last, they have
gone to prove the weakness, the in
sincerity and the imbecility of the
prosecution"

RUSH WORK ON GUNS
FOR UNCLE SAMM|E
Orders for $4,000 Cannon Have
Been Placed at Bethle-
hem Steel Works.

The magnitude with which the
United States proposes to go into this
war Is indicated in some degree by
the orders for cannon that have been
pouring into the Bethlehem Steel
company, says the Philadelphia
Record.
With the last few weeks the war de-
partment has ordered twenty thousan nd
3-inch guns and twenty thousand ~
Schneider howitzers Of the famous lie
CruesOt tppe. This order for forty
thousand field pieces has come in ad-
dition to previous orders for approx
mately thirty thousand cannon at
various times since the declaration OF
war.
Some of the guns In the orders for
thirty thousand are for the navy, but
the majority are for the army. 1t is
estimated the war department has at
Bethlehem alone orders for $4,000
cannon. II these We're placed in n
row along the western front of the
European battle lines there would be
a gun for less than every one hundred
feet, not to mention the French and
the English artillery.
While Bethlehem is the biggest gun
factory in the world. this statement
being made with special reference to
German pride in Krupp's, there are
other plants which also have received
considerable orders for cannon, and
1t is said to be the intention of this
government TO shoot the Germans out
Of France and back into their own
country with a vigor that will teach
them respect for President Wilson's
declaration in favor of a world
democracy
Over and above the orders from the
United States for nearly seventy thou
san cannon, the Bethlehem plant has
booked and is making many thou
sands of guns for England, France,
Russia and Italy.
The guns are being turned out
rapidly, and high explosive shells are
being turned out in even more amaZ-
ing proportion. Carloads of guns leave
the works every night, ready for
shooting, together with shells to back
up the work of the American army on
the German frontier
