DENVER UNION CARPENTERS WIN
TEN CENTS AN HOUR MORE WITHOUT
INVESTIGATION BY COMMISSION

in January, to Sc per cent, and in Feb
ruary to 81 per cent above the average
cost in 1907. OF course, all these
figures are based on averages, and may
not apply exactly to individual cases.
If an army uniform were made on the
average measurements of the soldiers
it would represent their average size,
but wouldn't fit one of them
No Account of Idle Time
A vital fact should be considered
here, however; these figures do not.
the department could not get salts
factory figures on this point. But it
is matter of common knowledge that
jobs now are chasing men. In 1907
there were no jobs to dodge The land
was crowded with idle men. At a
conference of workers held at the de-
partment of commerce and labor in
1909 to discuss the problem of unem-
ployment, Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of Labor,
stated that "since October, 1907,
nearly 100000 workers were out of
jobs" who had been working steadily
placed the number of men then idle
at from three to four millions. Now
adays every man who wants work can
find it-and that is a very important
fact.
Living Cost Made Plain.
To make the difference in living
costs palmer, take the experience of
Denny O'Neill. Denny worked on the
railroad in 1907 for S1.4O a day Of ten
hours. Denny is a steady man and he
kept his work right along. He got
$40 a week in 1907. Denny's pay
now-on the averages found by the
department of labor-is 1915 a week
He works about twenty-odd minutes
less each day than he did. In 1907
Denny paid five dollars a week for
food.
In 1916 Denny had to pay s6.95 a
week for the same quantity of food.
So Denny's living was actually cut
during these nine years of rising
wages. He loses 60 cents a week, not
counting rent, which has not changed
for Denny, nor counting clothes, which
cost him more.
War and Graft the Cause.
The averages of food and of pay
QUALIFIED by reductions in hours worked
! rose at about the same rate from 1912
to 1915. so that during that time
wages would pay for about even guam
titles of food each year. Actually,
workers enjoyed better conditions in
1915 than in 1912, because they had
more and steadier work. But war
losses got into the equation in 1916
and pushed up food prices faster than
wages. There were some crop short
ages also, which contributed their
share.
Besides this, however, there is rea-
son to fear that other elements are
conspiring TO raise prices Cold stor-
age, rebilling. reshipping and with
holding of commodities from market
are suspected to contribute to the
present abnormal rise in the prices Of
food.
Whether some persons have con-
spired to engross the markets the de-
partment of labor cannot state. But
I, the reports of the bureau of labor
statistics seem to lend some color to
such an opinion, viewed in the light of
conditions revealed by q comparison
of figures thru a range of years.

$4,000 IN FRUIT
CANNED BY GIRLS
cannlno Club Girls Are Doing Big
Work-2,500 New Members
Wanted.

1T is estimated that 100000 worth
of fruit was put up by the canning
club girls of the state last summer. A
large quantity of these products are
for sale and the Federated Clubs OF
the state are helping the girls sell
their goods to the best advantage,
says Miss Emma Archer, with
the Extension Division of the
University of Arkansas and U. 8.
Department of Agriculture. Canned
goods are assembled in the coun-
ty seat towns and through the
Federated Clubs are sold to mer-
chants or individuals desiring these
home products. Merchants guy al
wholesale; consequently, they are in
favor OF the canning club work be-
cause the home products retail much
more quickly than foreign canned
goods. The canned goods offered for
sale are tomatoes, beans, peaches, and
anything else the girls may have on
hand, including jellies and preserves.
Nearly all the vegetables are canned
in tins; however, great quantity has
been put up in glass this year for
special trade. Miss Archer says fur
Their, "a great number of people
throughout the state are becoming en-
thusiastic over the kind of products
which these girls are able to deliver.
They are asking for more fancy con-
{oir nd F,,,it &c hnin in
attractive packages, thus commanding
higher prices than products turned
out by commercial firms"
2611 Canning Club Girls.
At the present time there are 2,611
girls in Arkansas who belong to the
canning clubs of the state. These girls
pose of making money, and a great
many of them are doing much better
than those in charge ever dreamed it
would ever be possible for them to do.
Miss Lena Baltz of Randolph
county reports a total sale of $22S
worth of vegetables and canned goods;
while much interest is still being
manifested in the work of Miss Willie
Hurley of Jackson county, who last
year won a scholarship to the Agrl-
cultural School at Jonesboro, and
holds a record Of producing 3,1S5
pounds of tomatoes on one-tenth of
an acre from which she put up 1000
No 3 cans.
High Prices Cause No Fear.
In addition to the canning club
members, 1,525 women of the state
canned enough fruit and vegetables

FARMERS, ATTENTION.

Every farmer with money invested
in Arkansas land who believes in bet
ter live stock or is interested in truck
or fruit growing should make plans to
attend the Farmers Short Course"
at the College of Agriculture, Fayette-
vile. from January to ebruary in
elusive. Special attention will be
given to live stock Judging. feeds

agement as well as other questions
concerning profitable farming II you

The Brinkley argus. (Brinkley, Ark.) 1883-current, 1917-02-16

Tor home consumption as well as a
surplus to be sold on the market
These women with the canning club
girls have made 1000 families indie
pendent of the present high price Of
food products and have carried pros
perity into their homes by enabling
the family to literally feed itself.
The methods of making labor saw
ing devices are being taught to these
women and girls by the home demon
stration forces; consequently, the
fireless cooker, iceless refrigerator,
and other comfort producing equip
ment are being adapted and put into
use throughout Arkansas. Because OF
this fact more time for recreation is
made possible and life on the farm is
being improved in general.
Poultry Club Girls Sell Infertile Eggs.
Through the poultry clubs of the
state $40 girls are making reputa-
ton for themselves as producers Of
better fowls and better eggs These
girls are learning to secure the high
est market prices by handling only in
/ fertile eggs. They are sorting, cand-
ling, and guaranteeing their products
! to the satisfaction of both the retailer
and the consumer and with much prof
it to themselves. They are learning
that better chickens really bring bet
ter prices. Miss Blanche Delaney OF
/ Sebastian county is now attending the
| Agricultural School at Russellville
from profits of her poultry yard
Quality of Butter Improved.
Everywhere women and girls are
banding together in the butter club
work. A remarkable Improvement in
the quality of the butter produced has
been noted in many localities and al
ready a greater market price has been
demanded and received. Seven club
members of Jackson county some
time ago adopted the slogan, Better
Butter for the Home and Market"
Since they have been actively engag
ed in butter improvement work the
price Of country butter in Jackson
county has increased 10 cents a
pound.
More Club Members.
Every girl of school age in Ar
kansas should belong to one of the

wanted by July /, 1917 Write to Miss
