The report of Secretary Frank
Morrison indicated very clearly the
wonderful growth and increase in
the membership of the A. F. of L.,
being much more encouraging than
the one he submitted to the Buff
falo convention seven months pre-
vious. 1t will be recalled that at
that convention it was determined to
change the time of meeting, and
June was substituted for Novem-

indicated by the figures he sub

MISTAKEN MAY

Signs May, as in steamer chair
She sits from morn to night.
But still she sits and drinks pink

And eats wheat cake and candy,
And wines because the men are

She thinks it so unhandy.
She just hates substitutes in bread,
And bacon she adores.
She loves rich pie and pastry goods,
Brown sugar she abhors.
She says in spite of Hoover
What she likes she's going to eat
Let those who like the war bread

She says that she would buy War

To follow fashions trend.

One Way To
"Do Something

Db you want to do something
for the food suppy-meat and
eggs-even if only in a small way!
Keep some hens. Not a new idea
ofcourse, but until now it never
was quite so necessary or manda-
tory to grasp every food-makine
opportunity. Try it in the back
yard, beginning wisely on a small
scale-say ten hens.
Let the table scraps help make
eggs and meat. In every house
hold, no matter how economical
the housewife, there is certain
amount of table scraps and kitchen
waste which has feeding value but
which, if not fed, finds its way in
to the garbage pail. The saving
medium: Some hens.
Poultry is the only class of DOM
este animal which is suitable for
converting the kitchen waste, into
wholesome and nutritious food in
the form of eggs and poultry meat.

The commissioners passed a reso-
luton asking government aid to
the extent of $500 to grade and
gravel a post road beginning at
the crossing at the crossing of
Ceder creek on the north side and
extending 10 the country line in
the direction of Brockway. To
this project the county has bound
itself to expend a like amount, and
to build a road in accordance with
specifications laid down by the
federal government. The COM
missioners Of Dawson county. we
understand, are making a like re-
quest of the government for the
road leading from the Prairie
county line into Brockway. This
money is to be spent during the
season of 1918 on the road. which
means that the north slider in the
near future will have a graded
road from Terry clear through 10

% EXTRA
TEACHERS
FOR CITY

Because OF the great in
fluX of population to Tacoma,
the school board is providing
for % extra teachers for next
year, in addition to increasing
the salaries Of the present
teachers, according to the an
B0uncement of Ralph :.
Stacy, president Of the board,
Wednesday.
At a general meeting of the
teachers called by superintendent
w. f. Geiger Tuesday afternoon
in the Stadium high school, Pres
ident Stacy announced the boards
action on the petitions for salary
increases.
A total of $55,522, or 10.7 per
cent increase over last years sal
aries, has been granted.
The additional teachers, to-
gether with replacing substitutes
with regular teachers will make
the total increased amount neces-
sary for instruction $92,520, or
17.S. Teachers salaries for the
last year amounted to $517,57S.
The amount for next year is $780,
O9S. Also, salaries of engineers
and janitors will be raised s7.319.
No Permanent Buildings Now.
The board has given up its plans
to erect permanent buildings and
additions to buildings now too
small, to take care of the pressing
demands of the greatly increased
population. The board had
planned to provide 80 additional
rooms in all to cost 100000 to
be raised by bond issue and
spent during the next two years.
When the plan was submitted
to the capital issues committee,
the board received plain intima-
ton that the government would
not look favorably on such a bond
issue, and the erection of perma-
nent buildings had to be post
poned.
To care for the absolute neces-
stiles now, two and four-room
buildings, instead Of porta bles,
will be erected. The rooms will
be standard size, we'll lighted and
heated and much more comfort
able and healthful than the por-
tables now in use, Stacy says.
The portables will be replaced
as rapidly as possible by a better
type of temporary structure.
Forty new rooms will be provid-
ed during the next year, and the
board hopes to take care of the
additional pupils in them.
Increases in salary, declared to
be absolutely necessary, new
rooms, and an increase of nearly
IS per cent in the cost of supplies
will compel an Increase in the
school tax levy from 8:45 mills
last year to 10 mills.

CALLS FOR
MILLION TO
BUY BONDS

WASHINGTON, d. c., May /.
President Wilson today called
upon 100000 Americans to
match him with a $50 Liberty
bond-$5 down and S. a month
Inaugurating buy another
bond campaign, the president,
after purchasing all the bonds he
felt he could, got another $50 one
on the installment plan, provid-
ing a million people in the coun-
try would go in with him on the
proposition.
With about a half billion dol
lars yet to 60, the president be-
lieves that at least $4,000, 900
can be raised thru the subscrip-
ton of million Americans will
ing to get another bond with him.
To date 100000 Americans
have purchased bonds--3, 900, 900
more than in the first loan.
But the per capita subscription,
owing to the failure of the
wealthy to respond, has failed to
put the loan "over" to date.
The field has been combed for
all except the banks who so large
ly floated the first and second
loans. Only extra effort and
further sacrifice by individuals
will prevent turning to banks for
most of the balance now.
This loan. with its vast sub
scription list. is leaving the coun-
try in splendid financial condi-
ton, according to officers of the
federal reserve board.

HUNS / FLANDERS DEALT
STAGGERING BLOW BY FOCH
Slaughter of Germany's
Man Power Is Greater
Than Even Prussians
Are Willing to Pay.
BEGIN TO REALIZE
POWER OF AMERICA
By J. w. r. Mason

United Press War Expert.
Hindenburg Is staggering
before the most stupendOus
German failure since the
battle of the Marine.
Gen. Foch's enticenlents
of death are proving more
terrible than even the kaiser
can pay for.
The slaughter of German man.
power by order of the German
high command has come to an
other abrupt end; but "A renewal
of the painting effort to break thru
the allied lines is inevitable.
The victorious German spirit,
however, has been extinguished,
and Hindenburg can no longer
progress except at an even more
CHASTITY cost.
The moral effect of the allies
successful stand before the last
defenses of the Ypres is enor-
nous. After having won the
most difficult parts of the ap-
proaches to Ypres, the Germans
have been halted practically on
the SUBMITS of the hills they paid
so dearly to capture.
The collapse OF Hindenb burg S
offensive under this circum-
stance demonstrates conclusively
that the British and the French
exacted far heavier toll from the
Germans for possession of Mes
sines ridge and Mount KENNEL
than Hindenburg could afford to
pay.
Nevertheless Hindenburg
must risk still further gam
bleS. for he has not as yet
taken q single position that
is vital. He cannot turn to
the German people and pro-
claim a decisive victory which
even they will be deluded
into accepting.
To be held along the present
line indefinitely must in the
end prove the undoing of linden
burgs reputation, and the col
lapse of kaiserism.
The German people at last are
beginning to realize that an enor-
mously powerful American army
is piling into France.
The Americans may not be
fully prepared to strike before
next spring, but if Hindenburg is
blocked in the west this summer
he will stay blocked until Amer
ica's major offense rs ready to
start
This means defeat for the Hin
denburg.
That is why each German halt
such as the present one before
Ypres is nightmare for the Hun.

When the British retook Neuvc

Man WHO STARTED
The WAR IS DEAD

He used an automatic pistol,
firing into the royal automobile
as it passed. The archduke was
shot thru the head and the
duchess thru the throat.
The shooting closely followed
another attempt at assassina-
ton. A bomb was thrown into
the archduke's automobile, but he
warded it off with his arm and
it fell under the machine follow
ing.
The assassination resulted in
an Austrian ultimatum to Serbia,
which was accused of instigating
the plot.
Before Serbia could reply, the
