James Petty, probation officer
of Stevens County, has helped to
place more boys in good homes
than any other probation officer
in the state, according to the re-
port of 0. J. Saville, parole officer
of the state training school at Che
halls, and in letter to Mr.. Petty
he says: "You are one Of the few
in the state who have worked with
me from the beginning for the best
interests of the boys"
Many people still fail to realize
that the state training school is
not penal institution, not re-
form school, but training school
for the boys of the state who
through environment, loss of pa
rents, or unfortunate possession
of poor parentage fail to receive
the proper care, education and
training that young boy should
have.
Mr.. Petty, who for some time
held a position at the school, has
endcavored to find good homes for
the worthy and intelligent boys
who through misfortune are taken
in charge by the state. In Ste
vens county a number Of good
homes have been found, and in
most eases the boys have appre-
ciated the homes and more than
made good. The city is not the
best place to raise a boy, hence
the officials who are desirous Of
serving the best interests of the
boys are looking to the country
and small town homes. The work
done in Stevens county is bearing
results.

A Christmas goose in the four
teenth century cost 7 cents and
carpenter received but II cents
as his daily wage. If he used SUI
gar it cost him 3G cents pound.
Cost of living high9 Not as high
as it was 600 years ago if we are
to accept the comparative figures
given by Professor r. M. Garrett
before the annual meeting of the
Washington State Phililogical So
ciety at its meeting on the state
university campus during the holi-
days.
Most of the items of cost read
by Mr.. Garrett were taken from
the accounts of the expenditures
of the Earl Of Derby, later King
Henry w. Of England, as he was
about to embark in 1890 on a
crusade against the Lithunians.
A carpenter, in the days of the
earl received 12 cents for his daily
wage. For IL cents he could buy
a pound of butter, two pounds of
cheese, one pound Of salt, two
pounds Of -four, one and one-half
dozen eggs, a chicken for the Sun
day dinner and a pound Of rice for
rice pudding desert. This bill Of
goods today would cost $3.50. A
union carpenter now receives $3.50
for an eight-hour day, so after
buying his bill of goods he would
still have $1.90 left. He pays much
more for his necessities, but he
gets more comparatively for his
work. So times are better.

beset these sightless men at dan

Canada has commandeered all her
Forces-military, industrial and ayri-
eultural-in q brave effort to do her
utmost to help win the war. Men are
going out from all walks of life to
kake places on the fighting line. New
hands must be trained to take up the
work laid down. It means that those
left behind must keep affairs as near
normal as possible. They are doing
this not only for the present day
with its unusual demands, but are
wisely looking forward to the after
war days and the problems that must
be met and solved in re-assimilating
Canada's overseas forces and in in
telligently distributing the great in
fiux Of immigrants that will turn to
Canada as Land of Promise when
it is possible for them to leave war
searred, almost hopelessly devastated
Europe.
The men who are giving their best
thought to the solution of this
eoming problem have come to
the conclusion that a great por-
tion Of these people must go onto
the land, must become farmers, must
be dissuaded from settling in cities
and forming a surplusage there.

Market Is LiyeEer
But Prices Are Lower

New York, Aug. 23.-The New York
Evening sun financial review today
says:
Yesterday S selling was accelerated
in the first hour of TO-DAY 5 stock mar
ket by the liquidation Of margined ac-
counts, the eneoWrtering of suop orders
and the consistent hammering by bear
traders, who were noI backward in
seizing upon the general nervousness
and depression.
In the forenoon selling the turn over
approximated half million shares and
losses ranged from one to three points.
The tobacco shares and a few individ-
ual rails like New York Central, Mis-
souri, Pacific, and Delaware and Hud-
son made show of strength on short
coverings. Canadian Pacific also was
strong but other rails were heavy. Af-
ter midday trading died down and pri-
ces backed and filled. While the steel
copper and war stocks made some re-
covery they were still under consider
able pressure.
Bonds were quiet and steady.
Business was light in the foreign ex-
change market. The general tone was
easier, although feature was lacking
save for a drop of 30 points in rates on
Petrograd. 1t was stated today that the
car shortage on american lines has
been cut more than half since the end
of June.
