British government, III its exercise OF

HELP GET THE SPIES.

This country has long been honey
combed with German spies. Every
day or two some person who passed
as business or professional man,
and who has been well regarded, is
caught with the goods' and ar
rested. Every state, every city, and
every town harbors these agents or
allies of the enemy who are mas
queradlng as peaceable citizens. Our
easy-going, think way makes
smooth sailing for pirate craft, right
into the councils of state and city,
and even our own homes No coun
try had ever so well organized and
numerous spy system as Germany
has maintained right here in the
United States under our very eyes
The constantly recurring ineendiary
fires, the ingenious hes of endless
variety, are both part of the same
underground system. The Chicago
Herald has printed, run down, and
exploded more than one hundred OF
these adroit falsehoods which would
pass muster with most auditors
Here is where we can all be alert
to spot and stop this propaganda.
The next one you hear, run it down
to its source. You will not get far
before you reach someone who can I
remember who told it. Anybody
who is full of information favorable
to Germany and unfavorable to our
eau se, and who can't remember
where and from whom he acquired
this news, will bear watching. Here
is an opportunity for boys and girls,
as well as grown-ups, to run down,
locate, and explode this work of the
propGgandists.

ANALYzES HIGH LIVING COST.
British Committee Says Advance Fol
lows Each Wage Increase.

LONDON, Jan. %" High wages
mean high prices. Fresh cycles of wage
advances succeed one another Each
one results in further increases Of
prices or in preventing reduction of
prices. The producers are raising prices
against themselves as consumers We
are deeply impressed with the serious
ness of the situation, and are convinced
that if the process continues the result
can hardly fail to be disastrous to all
classes of the nation. -
This IS the summing up of a report
just given to the house of commons by
its committee on national expenditure,
after long investigation into the rising
cost of necessities of all kinds in Great
Britain. The whole thing is a vicious
circle of rising wages followed by ris-
ing prices, asserts the report. The
counter-recommen dations of the com
mittee include:
The government should endeavor to
avoid the creation of new credits in
financing the war.
+ The actual increase in the cost of
living to the working classes should be
ascertained.
Profits should be limited.
An advance of wages should be lin
tied if given on any ground other than
the rise in the cost of living.
\ single policy under the direction
of one authority should be adopted in
all industries in the determination of
wage questions. The all around in
crease in wages of 10 per cent and
similar increases in the cost Of com
midities purchased at hime have al
ready involved an increase in national
expenditure Of f130 10000 yearly.
One of the most important causes of
the increase Of expenditure, says the

 There are three recognitions for service
 When a boy assures the authorities that he has spent six weeks of con scientious and satisfactory service on a farm or fruit lands, he is pre- sented with a Federal badge, bearing the seal of the United States, if he has been enrolled in the United States Boys Working Reserve. If he works in an industry essential to help win the war, and after hay ing served ten weeks subsequent to enrolling in conscientious and satis- factory work, he is similarly re- warded as is the boy in the agricul- trial unit. The reserve recommends that all boys who are at school re main there and use their time in preparation. The boy who thus pre- pares himself and trains himself is recognized with a vocational award. -(Seattle Post-Intelligencer, June 11.)

Cannerymen Say Do These Things, Add Hatcheries, Stop Stream Fishing;
 Save Salmon.
HEADQUARTERS H E R E
C. s. Harley Also Believes industry Should Be Lo-
 ca,ized in Alaska
 More Than Now.

The solution of the preservation depends upon keeping the streams clear of debris and jams so the sal mon may reach their spawning grounds, and the destruction of the enemies of spawn and the fry, sup. plemented by the artificial propo- yat;on of fish, according to c. s. Harley, the canneryman of Tenakee. Of course" added MT. Harley, there must be no fishing in the streams )r near their mouths"
 The salmon that escape the traps md seines during the 36 hours clos ed period each week, and the sal mon that follow the deep water in he channels will be enough to stock he spawning streams, according to he belief of Mr. Harley, if the enemies of the species are destroyed
 Later. as the habits of the fish Ire studied by experts and more knowledge gained through inyestiga- ion ard experience under the laws IS they are Eldut lIOin year u yGiti, additicnal safeguards may be added iaid MT. Harley.
