"we are living In rude wooden bar

Chateau OF Bierancourt," said Miss
Stevenson. -Our barracks are fur
nished with the same unpainted fur
niture and plain iron beds that We
give to the peasants. The heads OF
our unit. Miss Anne Morgan and Miss
Anne Drake, share with us In this
primitive life. They are up at seven
o'clock in the morning tidy up their
huts, help with the dishes. and then
are OF about their duties. visiting the
refugees, finding out their wants and
helping Install them In temporary
shelters. Both Miss Morgan and Miss
Dixie speak French as well as they do
English, and they have entered deeply
into the lives OF the people. Some
thing approaching normal village life
has been restored to the communities
under the care Of the American Fund
Unit" Miss Stevenson says. The
French government has placed this
unit in charge OF the Aisns and SOM
me districts, both or which were sys-
tematicaily devastated by the Ger

Once called ipon at a banquet to respond to the oast the merits of the strawberry Dr. Garret laid aside the dignity Of lis superior literary powers and in . spirit of levity, replied as follows: oh de poke-berry it am nice and

Getting Most for Your Money

NlOllCy
 It is we'll to make it very clear that getting most TOT your money does not mean that you secure the most merchandise for the sum you want to spend, but rather in securing the BEST merchandise for a stipulated amount. If you have set aside, say a price of $500 for a certain item and can afford to pay no more than that, then it is your duty to learn where you can secure the very best merchandise at that price. And this. means that the article must be of good materials and if it is something that has been made up, the workman ship be such as to assure complete satisfaction and full service.
 So while the price of an article is very important you must also consider very carefully and very seriously what you get for that price. As we men, toned before, we court the fullest investigation of our prices and qualities.

NOTHING TO ARBIrRArE.

Answering the Willamette Paper
company's refusal to arbitrate the
differences with it's employees, now
on strike at Camas, in this state, the
government mediation commission
says:
Even though the company claims
to have established normal condi-
lions it still finds it necessary to
maintain an armed guard. Moreover
this armed guard consists of state
officers in the private pay of the COM
pany.
1.-THE source of the difficulty is
that the controlling influence Of the
company persists in a labor policy
which refuses to make any c0nces-
sion in response to demand collect
lively made by employees even though
such a demand be just one. Pro-
testations of patriotism by the COM
pany have been many and are doubt
less sincere. 1t is not a question of
sincerity. 1t is matter of business
attitude at q time when the business
attitude concerns the country.
I'm its present attitude the COM
pany is disregarding modern stan
dards of industrial adjustment and is
unresponsive to enlightened concep-
lions of patriotism by business men.
The guiding consideration of the
company Is an unchallenged control
over it's employees, leading to a re-
fusal to rectify conceded evils or to
discuss possible existing industrial
Embellishments for fear that such
concession or such discussion may be
deemed a yielding to the power Of
an organization of employees who are
urging an adjustment of such evils"
The strikers are standing firm
and are receiving the financial and
moral aid of the union forces Of the
West. The fact that nine-tenths of
the work of the paper mills is done
BY unskilled labor Is handicapping
the progress of the strike.

MACHINIsTs MEET.

Machinists' local union met in reg
ular session Saturday in Oxford hall.
The paramount question before the
session was that Of wage adjustments
now going on between government
boards and workers in the shipbuild-
ing industry. A large number of the
members of this union are engaged
in shipbuilding work, and SO the
progress Of wage negotiations is Of
great interest to them. Some of the
members seemed slightly peeved at
the amount Of red tape that had to
be unrolled before q final settlement
of all wage disputes, with especial
reference to the retroactive feature Of
the awards Of the labor adjustment
board. However. the attitude OF the
union will be that of watchful wait
ing. in common with all other crafts
in the shipbuilding industry.

STEEL TRUST FAVORS ORIENT
AIS.

The beacon light Of American
democracy can be intensified with the
aid of Orientals in American indus
try, in the American army and in the
American navy, according to Ebert
H. Gary, head of the United States
Steel Corporation (the trust). He
also believes in aiding working men
in every possible way-except per-
hitting them to develop independ-
ence and join labor unions.
1--WE can get them if we are so dis
posed" was the significant statement
by the trust head, in an address to
Chicago business men.
"Under proper conditions and rea-
sonable restrictions draw from the
islands of the sea and from Oriental
countries enough men. including SOL
diers and sailors. to meet every
emergency. There would be no dim
Guilty in obtaining, within short
period, largo numbers of strong,
healthy, intelligent, loyal men for
civil and even military duty, and the
number could be increased from time
to time as required
Judge Gary still advocates the the
DRY that workers should bargain in
dividually with the mighty organiza-
ton that he represents, for he says:
"All men of all grades, rank, and
nationality should be permitted to
work when and where they please
and on terms that they agree to-"
The speaker assured his hearers
that working men SHOULD be paid
good wages. taking into account the
service rendered and all conditions
which reasonably apply"-it being
understood. of course, that the steel
trust would be the sole judge OF such
conditions.
