WEALTHY WOMEN
AID IN PEA
CANNING
WORK TEN HOURS DAILY TO
RELIEVE LABOR
SHORTAGE

MILWAUKEE,, Aug. s. = Wives
and daughters of wealthy citizens
in the Wisconsin pea canning dis
tricts have entered the canneries to
aid the labor situation. On Satur-
day they line up for their pay en-
velopes and receive a minimum
wage for their 10 hours work.
Forty per cent of the peas canned
in the United States are put up in
Wisconsin plants.
Earlier in the season pea packers
expressed grave fears of a serious
labor shortage and pointed to the
food administrators request for all
the peas possible.
George p. Hambrecht, labor com
missioner, after a conference with
Food administrators Hoover, sent
labor commission employees into all
homes and obtained pledges from
women in all walks of life to work
in the %canneries if called upon.
Then a conference was arranged
with the packers, who we're inform
ed that they would be provided
with help if they paid the women a
minimum wage. established a 10
hour working day except in an
emergency and then not more than
IL hours, and made proper sanitary
arrangements.
The packers signed an agreement,
the women who had pledged their
services we're called on, and the re-
Spouse was most satisfactory and
the canneries now are operating
with a full force.

OF SHIRT
PROBLEM IN
RUSSIA
DULY SIGNED AND SEALED PER-
NIT Is NECES-
SARY

PETROGRAD. Aug. s. The diff
ficulties hedging in existence of
those who live in Petrograd during
these times of disturbed regime
and shortage in necessities of life,
extend in all their details to the
ordinarily simple task of buying a
shirt. To accomplish this takes
time, patience and determination.
First, the shirt must be found.
Forty shops may be visited before
m of the proper size is found. The
question of preference of style is
not to be considered for one mo-
ment. Having found something
that resembles a shirt of the prop
er size, a deposit Of a small pay
ment is made to hold it.
The next thing is to convince the
house committee-there is a COM
mune in every apartment house in
Petrograd-that a shirt is needed.
If the house committee passes fav-
orably on the subject, it so reports
to the precinct or district Soviet
or commune. This in turn reports
to the commissary in charge of the
distribution of shirts and kindred
articles of clothing.
A buyer is quite lucky if after
five or six days he receives a duly
signed and sealed permit to buy a
shirt. Then he buys it, but ordinar-
lily pays the Russian equivalent OF
SIS or $40. Some of the poorest
quality may be found as low as the
Russian equivalent of SIS.

The bodies of two murdered
squaws recently were found in a
clump of brush d short distance

POLITICS IS
AWAKENING
HERE
MARIES WILL BE
SHORT

While, owing to the war, there
is less interest shown in local and
county politics this year than ever
before, still a number of candi-
dates are making active campaigns
at this early stage of the game and
political discussion is gradually
working it's way into meetings of
the various boards of war strategy
that congregate on Goldfield streets.
For state offices. 1t is reported
that filing for the primaries was
the slowest in the political history
of the state. In past years COM
plete tickets have been filed as a
rule n.any days before the last day
for filing, but this year NO republican
candidates have filed for the offices
of controller, state printer and
clerk of the supreme court and many
democratic candidates did not file
until unusually late.
The candidates for United States
senator are c. B. Henderson, DEM
ocrat; E. f. Roberts, republican;
Walter c.. Lamb, republican, and
Martin J. Scanlon, socialist.
For congress there are c. R. Ev-
ans, democrat; H. F. Bartine, dem

Emmet d. Boyle, democrat; Ben ID.
Luce, democrat; Samuel M. Pickett,
democrat; George B. Thatcher, dem
ocrat; William M. Kearney, repub-
lican, and Tasker l.. eddie, repub-
lican.
Augustus Tilden, a former Gold
field attorney, now practicing law
in Reno, is the only candidate OPP
posed to Maurice j. Sullivan for
lieutenant governor. Tilden is a
republican.
Edward A. Quicker of Winnemuc-
ca and P. A. McCarren of Reno are
candidates for justice of the SUI
preme court, a n~on-partisan office.
George Brodigan has opposed to
him for secretary of state Mrs. Lou
Use Spencer Ellis of Carson, a re-
publican.
Walter E. Pratt of Goldfield is a
candidate for university regent, six
year term, and John H. Dunn of
Goldfield, a democrat, is a candi-
date for surveyor general, oppos-
ing Charles l.. Deadly for the NOM
nation.
Leonard B. Fowler of Reno and
William Mcknight of Carson, demo
Gratis, and George S. Green of Reno,
la republican, are out for attorney
general.
Joe Farnsworth of Virginia City,
democrat, has no opposition for
state printer.
AS there is not a single contest
in the ranks of the republicans for
offices in this county, the republi-
can primary ballot will be a short

ed States senator, the two for gov
ernor and the names of the three
