THE BEST PEOPLE in any community are those

are not the eXtrayagant, nor the rich, nor the Influential. Neither
are they those who seek social position nor those who live in seClu-
sion. They are neither professional nor working men. They do
not belong to any special church or organization nor do they fol-

Il every walk of life and in every neighborhood. They are best
because they are fair and square in their dealings with their fel-
lOw-mcn. They are best because, when they make a promise, they
live up to it, unless overtaken by misfortune. They are best be
cause they take no dishonest advantage in trade and because they
practice the golden rule.

BOY WHO WON'T COME BACK

The neighbors wonder what to say
To comfort her thruout the day,
The women stand about and sigh
And stroke her hair and softly cry
And speak in tender tones and low
Of him who was so proud to go.
They see her at the window pane
And know her watching's all in vain.
In vain for him she long will yearn;
Her soldier boy will not return.
The news has come that he lies dead
And sleeps in Freedoms valley red.
His mother treasures now note
That unto her his captain wrote:
"Dear little lady," it began,
"Your son departed as man.
He volunteered for duty grim,
Knowing that death awaited him,
And said, before that night attack,
Tell mother that | won't be back
"And now l write to let you know
we i've UGCduSS lie uoIC W SO'
| think you would have thrilled with
pride,
Had you been here the hour he died.
What man. | asked, tonight will die
To keep Old Glory in the sky?'
And he was first to leave the line
And answer: Let the task be mine
From what~he said of you, know
You would have wanted him to go"
When peace returns with victory
sweet
He will not march along the street
Nor share the laughter and the cheers
Nor see the mothers grateful tears.
But he will be among the throng
Who went to save the world from
wrong,
Who, smiling, paid the bitter price
! In service and in sacrifice.
And whispered, in deaths presence
black:
'"Tell mother that l won't be back"

BARRIERS UNION

Local Union No. la met in regular
session last Monday evening in Trades
Assembly hall. The attendance was
above the average and great amount
of interest was manifested as the
business of the evening progressed.
The membership was taken some
what by surprise when it was an
nounced that C. l.. Bishop, president
of the local union, had presented his
resignation in writing to the secre-
tary Leroy Garrison. Mr.. Bishop
gave as a reason for the action taken
that he had decided to take up other
work, having become a employee of
the O. E. Ry. in the capacity of con-
ductor. The resignation was accepted
and ]. H. Sharritt was unanimously
elected to fill the vacancy for the un-
expired term. r. E. Hall and Chas.
Snyder were elected delegates to the
Trades and Labor Assembly.
A petition filed, signed by a ma
jority of the shop owners, asking for
an increase in the scale of prices was
indorsed, and the dream of years,
"The SOC Hair Gut" is about to be
realized. However rasping this may
sound to the average patron, never
theless it has been dreamed of long
and often by all of the older and
many of the younger craftsmen. The
cost of shave was also advanced
from Is to 20 cents. The new scale
goes into effect September 3rd.
History of the crafts presents a
long and painful, but nevertheless, a
steady, orderly evolution of the bus
mess and we are now about to realize
on the advantages secured. The hours
have been reduced from about one
hundred per week to less than sixty,
and wages that were formerly the
lowest received by any skilled me-
chanic have gradually been increased,
and now we are beginning to be re-
spectacle. This achievement has been
made possible by Organization with
out it nothing could or would have
been accomplished.
Some may complain of the prices
charged, and many we'll meaning
craftsmen in other lines no doubt will
but the reason for it lies in the fact
that the price has always been toe
low for the value of the services
rendered. Time was, when the barber
would leave his shop and walk the
distance of many city squares, in al
kinds of weather, to shave sick man
for the small sum of 25 cents, while
at the same hour his physician may
have called and rendered no more
valuable service, but received for it
no less than $1.00 and the patient
would pay it even without discovering
the social inequality this wide differ
ence in return for services rendered
would create.
Labor has always been too cheap
From the dawn of history it has beer
striving to extricate itself from q
condition of slavery. Organization
has been the only means by which il
could have progressed at all anC
what it has attained has been due tc
it. This being true, the laborer must
contend for greater returns for the
services rendered.

An unusual advertisement appeared
In Chicago paper recently, desiring
the services of five humpbacked men.
The explanation Of this strange want
Is even more interesting than the an
nouncement, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine.
1t seems that large envelope fac
tory, unable to fill its orders, decided
to work nights as well as days. Long
experience had demonstrated that in
the use of certain machines women
were better operators than men by
reason of their hands being more deli
cate and nimble.
The owner does not believe In fac
tory work at night for women, and the
men proved clumsy and slow. II was
then he set about to seek men who
were well but physically incapable OF
heavy work. He decided that hump
backs had the necessary qualifications
Of more agile and sensitive touch, and
an actual test proved such to be the
fact. Hence the advertisement.

Early California History.

The first white men to visit San
Francisco bay were of the expedition
Of Portola, a Spanish adventurer who
became the first governor of Califor-
MIA. Portola himself was not a mem.
Der of the party which, 14S years ago
gazed upon the site Of San Francisco
and Oakland. The honor OF discovery
belongs to Father Juan Crespi and Ser.
geant Ortega. Casper de Portola, "cap-
tain of Dragons and governor of the
CALIFORNIA;" probably never saw the
bay, but his name is perpetuated as
the discoverer by the annual Portola
festivals in San Francisco. Sir Fran
els Drake came near discovering the
bay In 1878, when he landed at a
point so miles to the northwest.
