Berg, Hokanson & Turner were
fortunate in getting their flax mar.
keted before winser set in, and have
also their wheat in storage. They
expect to use considerable of their
wheat themselves for seed, and may
have some to sell for seed in addi.
ton.
The Hokanson-Turncr COMPANY
store is a busy place these days.
-Four clerks, in addition to the
proprietors are on the jump al. day
long. They have fine, complete
stock OF goods and are enjoying a
very prosperous business which they
merit through careful management
and close application to business.
Albert Gipp, who is wintering
a large bunch of cattle on the old
Frosted ranch west of town, states
that he has things fixed up pretty
fine for winter, having hauled all his
hay to large ravine where many
running springs flow all winter and
heavy brush and large cattle shed
he recently built gives ample shell
ter for his herd.
DR.. l.. NJ. Eichhorn, for the past
six months physician in charge of
the Standing Rock Indian Hospital
at Fort Yates, who left recently for
New York city to spend his vaca-
ton, writes Mr.. Christensen of the

does not expect to return to res ,me
his duties for several weeks at
least.
Arrangements for the different
Christmas trees that will be held in
and about Fort Yates is progressing
very satisfactorily and donations to
the funds have been liberal. Father
Bernard is going to buy a lot of
fancy Washington apples on sale at
Carignan's store for the little bows
and girls who come to the Christ
mas tree in the Foresters' hall.
j. A. Stiles of the Stiles Cattle
Company states that cattle are in
fine shape for winter and all the
ranchers have made ample provis-
ion for the care of their stock. In
the event of severe weather he ex-
poets that there will be but few
losses. He also said that the light
snow was fine for range cattle as
they do not have to hunt for
water.

plateau an exceptionally large air raid
was carried out with fleet of $50

flew low, scattering more than 1000
bombs, which caused extensive dam

CITY'S PLEA

A. B. Howe of the Tacoma Com
mercial club gave the address of
welcome before the Washington
Federation of Commercial Organi-
cations Tuesday morning. w. w.
Blain responded for the visitors.
A letter from Mayor Fawcett
and the city commissioner asking
the organization aid in getting
bills through the legislature which
would enable cities of extend their
public utilities outside of city linn
its, started a discussion on the
purpose of the organization.
Gordon c. Corbaley of Spokane,
made the motion that the letter
be laid on the table without dis
cussion. 1t was seconded. He
then explained the reason for his
motion, saying that the purpose of
the letter was outside of the work
of the organization.
State matters ought not to be
taken up in the meetings, as this
organization is only for the pur-
pose of studying better methods
for the different commercial or
CARNATIONS" said Mr.. Corbaley.

the truth. / have one last favor
to ask.
Try to get us a matron who will
give us a square deal. One who
will Judge us impartially and who
will listen to both sides Of the
story.
We are tired of having our
rights regarded as favors and hav-
ing to play petty politics to get
the same. We want rules posted
where all can read them and we
want all to be governed by these
rules. We are tired of being
ruled by favoritism. we are tired
of having prisoners as our bosses.
Even if the new matron is not
so we'll up in medicine and nurs-
ing. If we have a good doctor and
the best nurses available, If the
matron is a good business woman
and efficient and will give us a
square deal, in the writer's opin-
ion 1t is the chief necessity.
A matron who is well up in
medicine is too apt to infringe up
on the doctors rights.

fear of contradiction that It is no
easy thing for a man to buy liquor
in Tacoma today. 1t can be done
through artful subterfuge, If a
man is acquainted with persons
handling the sale. But even then,
the secrecy that is maintained over
the bootleggers' transaction is ex-
IRENE.
81 lived in Vermont and Maine
during my earlier manhood. In
both of those state | saw saloons
running wide open, while the
states were supposed to be dry.
In the town of Rutland, Vermont,
while the state was dry, wit
messed the absurdity of the OPEN
ing OF Temperance hotel The
hotel failed because others hotels
in the dry town were running
their bars wide open.
Tacoma is living up to the dry
law better than any city that
know of. Any person who ridi-
cules this should make little in
vestigation and thus avoid the dan
ger of making serious mis-state-
ments."

Germany is to do just what
England has been doing, the pot

Europe, drenched in blood, is

Patriotism, they cry, and wave

You work on the emotions of
Ignorance. God pity our sweet,

You patriots, hypocrites, not one
of you ever dreamed of going to

Oh, for q thousand scorpions, |
would lash you naked through the

But it's too late; nothing can
be done now. What can a little
handful of us do to stem the tide
of blood? These little letters in

compared to your glazing head
lines and war pictures calculated
to arouse the populace to frenzy.
The church, the press, all clam
oring for war. see nothing

The Jig is up and hell is turned

A little later and a word like
this means the dungeon. You
know what Paul Haffer got; you

EDl lOh TIE lME
What answer can be made to
the question: Are you going to
allow the slogan, DO il for Ia
coma to become an empty farce
in its vapidity?"
DO it for Tacoma" means more
than shouting 1t to the empty air
from the house tops and then
coming down stairs and mailing
an order for goods to an outside
firm.
Although all goods cannot be
made in Tacoma, someone in Ia
coma can derive benefit from their
distribution. The do il for Ia
coma" theory is perfect.
Commercial organizations COM
posed of prominent, energetic and
progressive men have made praise
worthy efforts to put this into
effect, for they realize that con-
certed action by all citizens would
increase the commercial prestige
of Tacoma, attracting outside cap
ital influence and enterprise-in
short, enable Tacoma to take it's
place among the important. cities
of the world, using its valuable
natural assets to their highest eff
ficiency.
No small amount of thought
can be given to the proposition
that all of us must cooperate to
the fullest extent.
1t not only rest with the buyer
but also with the seller, If the lat
ter constantly reiterates the slo-
gan to all the extent of his lung
power and printers ink.
In a nutshell, it is for the Ia
coma distributor to show the Ia
coma buyer more efficient serv-
ice for less money and prove that
Tacoma-made- and-handled goods
are cheapest and best.
No one denies the axiom that
II you buy out of town ] buy out
of town and all our neighbors
buy out of town our town will go
down.
There has been an obsession on
the part of many prominent citi-
zens who have made nearly their
all in Tacoma to obtain outside
architects to plan their residence
or building.
OF course, this effects not only
Tacoma architects but Tacoma
manufacturers and distributors of
building material, because an out
side architect is bound to specify
materials sold by firms outside of
Tacoma, thus preventing money
coming through Tacoma banks.
The more you help Tacoma the
more Tacoma helps you. You are
here in Tacoma, making money
in Tacoma. You should spend it
In Tacoma, show your confidence
In your city and yourself by in
vesting in Tacoma real estate,
buying Tacoma made goods in
every respect, eat Tacoma distrib-
uted foods and buy your building
materials for your house in Ia
coma, using Tacoma genius, arti-
flee and labor.
1t is the grand game of COOP
Grafton.
The more you help your city
and show those on the outside
that It is Tacoma first, last and
always. the more benefit you will
reap.
