THE MOTHERS CIRCLE

In some way an extra fifty cents in
sisted upon being added to the fund
realized from the sale of potatoes at
Pats Potato Party" making the am
cunt $500 instead of $3.50, as stated
last week. On Friday. after the siren
uous evening before, the ladies' de
cided, without any previous arrange
ment to serve luncheon to the out-of-
town people who were attending the
meeting of the State Land Board on
Saturday. With these ladies to resolve
is to do. In spite of the short notice
an appetizing luncheon was spread in
the room recently vacated by F. E.
Jackson, from which the sum of Zap
s16.5o was realized. The
"early bird" has nothing on

UNIQUE ATTRACTION COMING

The Jolly Entertainers from the In
dustrial Home Training School are,
without doubt the most unique musi-
cal organization on the road. For y
years this troupe of children have been
the sole support of the Home which
has cared for twenty to fifty children
during that time. The Home is high
ly endorsed by all who know the good
work being done there, including Gov
ernor Lister, of Washington, ExMayor
Cotterill of Seattle, B. P. o. of Elks
Commercial Clubs of Tacoma and Des
Moines and hundreds of other promin-
ent citizens and organizations. Aside
from the laudable effort the children
are making to support themselves the
performances given are wholly worth
while. There is nothing amateurish
about them as one might think, but
vaudeville, musical comedy, minstrel
and high class concert numbers are
given by these children with an ease
and grace which many an adult prof
fessional performer would envy. There
are twenty -four children in the troupe.
They carry their own scenery and the
costuming and electrical effects are
said to be beautiful They will be at
the Baugh Theatre, Thursday, April
4th.

MRS. cLARKE'S LECTURE

Last Friday night Shoshone had the
rare privilege of listening to Mrs. Ba-
sill Clarke pour out her thrilling story
of experience in war worn Belgium. 1t
is heart to heart story from the hearts
of the suffering people of Europe to the
great hearts of American patriots. It
is a story from a divinely inspired wo-
man who has tasted the bitter dregs
of war and is able to carry her great
message to America. She pictured
beautiful Belgium with it's millions of
busy contented and happy people. She
pictured the awfulness and majesty of
the great German armies as they en-
tered Belgium and the terror of the
citizens as they began to comprehend
the awfulness Of the catastrophe
which had befallen them. The terror
and anguish of mothers as their child
rem were torn from them and the
daughters carried into German slave
pens. She told how but few ever have
returned from the nav of the German
beast and how hunger and want wrote
their tales of suffering on the faces Of
the people as day by day the stocks
of provisions grew less and less until
they reached the point where children
were weighed on the scales to deter
mine if they We're still capable Of going
without food a few hours longer in
order that more needy ones might be
served.
From her own personal experiences /
Mrs. Clarke confirmed all the stories I
Of beastly atrocities committed by the
Germans until the human heart turns I
sick and the imagination pals at the
scene.
Mrs. Clark tells all this with a charm
If manner an earnestness and a per
that at once stirs the souls of
Ter hearers to their depths with a
to wipe out forever the
luthors of such scenes.
Mrs. Clarke emphasizes the fact that
here is but one way to conquer the
Serman beast and that is to whip him
Intil every soldier of the Kaiser, and
very propagandist in the world knows
e is whipped. Whip him until he begs
or the mercy he has withheld from
is victims. And in order to do this
re must have our army at home as well
isciplined and as earnest in its work
S the army IN the trenches. Both
rmies must be disciplined until they
re ready to obey commands. She was
ere to tell the civilian army to save
AVE Save meat. Save wheat. Save

Increase in Express Rates Here
to Average Five Cents.
Make State and Interstate
Prices the Same.
BIG INCREASE IN The EAST
Local Manager Says Companies
Have Not Made Expenses.
Employees Are to Get Increase
in Wages.

It was announced today by E. E.
Brayman, manager of the local Wells
Fargo Express office that the general
increase in express rates as ordered
by Director General McAdoo on NO
vember 20, will go into effect as soon
as the schedules are received IN the
local office.
If the schedule comes thru in the
terms that were ordered WEDNESDAY
saws Brayman, it will mean an IN
crease of from three to five cents on
each piece that leaves ana arrives at
the local office. .
The idea as Brayman expresses It,
Is to reconcile the state rates with the
Interstate rates, which will mean
about a ten per cent increase. TO
this cost will be added the cost OF
what is termed two scales or zones
That is the cost for Transmission OF
a:.y article i based on the zone sys-
TEN into which the country is di-
yided according to latitudinal and
longitudinal divisions.
Difference i'm Rates.
When express rates were raised on
July 49, last, according to Brayman,
rates in Kansas and in ceveral other
states were not raised so the rates
now eXistant do not coincide with the
interstate rates. The idea of the SOW
eminent is evident to reconcile all
state rates with interstate rates and
tn 4 add the jump in cost of about
two scales.
1t has been found, says Brayman,
by various committees of investigation
that express companies are working
at a losing game under the present
rates. especially in the east. This is
clearly indicated by 1IcAdoo's order
which SAYS that east of the MISSISSIPPI
and north of the Ohio and Potomac

will be about 16 and II cents a hum
bred pounds more than at present.
The congestion of roads and express
traffic in the east, says Brayman.
is responsible for a large number of
short hauls between eastern cities.
The drayage charge at either end of
the haul has increased very muth in
the last few years. But on the long
hauls more Of a margin was left from
which to take out the cost of drayage
in delivery at either end OF the line
and consequently most of the revenue
of the companies was derived from
long hauls and western hauls.
Did rot Cover Costs.
East of the Mississippi the large
volume of business had to be handled
at rates which did not commence to
cover costs. Along with this FACTOR
there was ;.lso the general shortage OF
help and the necessity of using mex
perlenced assistants VINO uIu not dc-
complish the work as efficiently as the
workers who have been taken into
the army. Working under conditions
of this sort the loss from claims paid
by express companies as been greater
than in any other period of the history
of the express business.
A feature concurrent with the raise
In rates will be IL 20 per cent raise in
the salaries of employees which will
take place at once along lines similar
to those worked out for the railroads.
An increase of approximately $685.
100000 is anticipated by this action.
Half will go to the railroads and half

to the express companies, according
to McAdoo's order.
AS it would not be at all fair to ask
western people to pay for the accom-
mediation of eastern people, the rates
have been raised highest in the ter
ritory where the biggest loss has ac-
crued.
Figuring on an average of $4,000
pieces shipped from Topeka at an
added cost of 5 cents per piece. says
Brayman, additional revenue amount
ing to s1,750 will be taken in. Prac-
tically all of this will be used in pay
ing the increase in salaries

Under the circumstances such credit

Combined with this exceptional gift is
the power to inspire and control their

fundamentals which leaves nothing to
be desired.
The meeting of two teams coached
by mentors of this type and with such
four years records at their backs is
therefore a gridiron epic. Unless all
