Dear Mr.. Clayton:
Congratulations on the <SProsperity Num-
ber'' of Cayton's Weekly. I have read the
copy you were good enough to send me, and
am giving it to a prominent A. NJ g. min
lister here.
Yours cordially,
ALBERT JOHNSON.
Washinton, Sept Alt.
Gustave B. Aldrich, at one time quite
prominent in Tacoma, but who has been
absent from that city for two years or
more, has returned to his first love and will
open law offices as of yore. Once upon a
time Mr.. A}drich was one Of the busy at
torneys Of Tacoma, but things went awry
and he sought greener pastures, but not
finding just the kind he was looking for, he
is in Tacoma again.
At the meeting held at the First A. NJ E.
church last Monday evening it was decided
to abandon the proposed silent parade Sep
TENDER 22nd but to hold an emancipation
meeting at the A. M. E. church Sunday
evening, September 23rd, in conjunction
with sacred concert that will be given by
the choir Of that church on that evening
Four short speeches will be made by diff
ferent persons, the personnel Of whom will
be named in the next week s paper.
Mrs Nelson P. Fisher, who has won SO
many laurels as public speaker and uplift
worker, has been invited to be one Of the
speakers at the emancipation meeting, Sep
TENDER 23rd, and if she accepts the invita-
ton the audience will listen to a most bril-
liant address, it she does one half as we'll as
she has done on past public occasions. She
is OF the new school Of colored women and
believes that the very best is none too good
for those to whom she talks and teaches,
Henry j. Asberry Of Tacoma, will adj
dress the emancipation meeting September
23rd and will have for his subject on that
occasion Unity. If he aplies this to the
dissenting elements Of the colored folks of
the Northwest he has much food for
thought and will doubtless tell those of rs
present many things that we should hear
and yet many things that we do not ex-
actly want to hear. He is a deep student
of research and a brilliant address NAV be
expected.
There may be buster places in the United
States than the city Of Tacoma, but we
doubt it. In talking to H. P. Hawthorn.
the realty dealer Of Tacoma, about the pros
perity Of the city, he said, every line Of
business has been stimulated by the COM
ing of the soldiers to Camp Lewis, but the
real estate business and it seems to be
nearer dead than it was year ago. But
business to the Winds permit me to heartily
congratulate you on your Prosperity Num-
ber'. Tacoma got square deal in it,
thing a Seattle paper never gave it before.
What a grand thing for the race in the
Northwest if magazine like that could
be issued every month, relating the good
things about the Puget Sound country.

TO LIMIT USE OF
KNITTING WOOL
Shortage of Kahki Wool Compels Hun
dreds of Women to Stop Knit
ting for Soldiers.

So acute has become the shortage in
khaki wool that hundreds of women
workers in canteenS and others organiZa
tions where garments are knitted foE
the soldiers and seamen are forced to
sit idle, their hands tied by the lack of
material with which to help men in
France resist the cold winds Of winter.
In an effort to combat this condition
and obtain sufficient wool to permit the
knitting of garments for the soldiers, a
number of women members of the Won
an 5 League for National Service and
various Red Cross organizations have
formed committee to interest other
women in this problem and effect a re
form.
The reason for the scarcity of wool,
members OF this committee state. lies in
the great demand which women through
out the country are now making for
eolored woods with which to make them
selves aud their families sweaters, re-
gardleSs of the greater need of the sol
dieTs. These women have been dubbed
"pink patriots by the war relief work
ers, and campaign to curtail their use
OF woods for private purposes has been
started.

FORE RIVER WILL
EMPLOY 10000 MEN
Great Plant for the Construction of De
stroyers Expected to Be Ready in
Three Months

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The great
destroyer plant which the Fore River
Shipbuilding corporation is erecting on
800 acres of land along the banks of
the Neponset river in Milton and Quincy
will be completed within the next three
months.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels has
been assured that all of the construc-
ton work will be finished by Jan. l. He
said that the Fore River corporation will
begin to deliver destroyers to the navy
eight months hence, and that from that
time on deliveries will be made at FIRE
quent intervals until the government s
100000 contract has been filed.
| This would seem to be an almost i'm
possible feat, as destroyer has never
been built in this country in less than
/ two years, and as work on the first de
stroyer to be delivered was begun only
a few months ago. Mr.. Daniels feels
sure, however, that the delivery will be
made, and that the Fore River concern
with its new plant. will establish one
new record after another in constructing
destroyers.
The Quincy concern will require the
services Of 1900 additional employees
to operate the new plant Mr. Daniels
said that the securing Of this large
number of men, many of whom must 10

FIFTY DOLLARS FOR DEsERTER.
Reward Payable on Delivery at Any
Army Camp or Pest.

The following copy of a telegram,
furnished 10y Adjt. Gen Lee 5. Tillotson.
is published for the guidance of all con
cerned:
- \ reward of fifty dollars is PAYABLE
for the delivery at the nearest army
camp or post OF a deserter. This reward
is in full satisfaction of all expenses
incurred on said delivery. 4 person who
fails to report to his local board for milf
tary service at the time specified in his
order j. a desertcr. A person who fails
to report for military service to the
adjutant general Of the state by the date
specified in the order OF the almtant
general to said persons is a descrter. 1t
Is highly desirable from every stand
point that an effort now to be made to
round up all persons who are delinquent
in reporting for military service. It is
thought that ii the fact of n reward il
given the widest publicity we shall have
great force Of police ehirere ana even
OF individuals interested in bringing
such delinquent under military control.
il. after such persons are brought to a
military authority, il appears TO the
military authority that their deGu-
quency is not wilful they will be for
warded to mobilization camp and their
local board will be given credit. If il
appears that the delinquency was wiIful
they will be prosecuted before court
martial as deserters. In either ease the
reward is payable. Crowder.
