Iplain American folks-that's your
Labor here in America.
AS for Mr.. Average Man, with his
kids in the grammar school and his
Liberty Bond in the bank, there's as
much chance of his turning Bolshevi
XII as there is of the Kaiser turning
Knights of Pythias. Ninety percent
of Labor is jighty decent, ikeable,
Woodworking, honest, well-meaning
chap. The scare has been thrown in
to US by the other ten percent, the
wild and woody irresponsibles who
would have US think that Labor eats
a man for breakfast every morning.
These good friends of ours with
the goosefesh have neglected to take
into account the human equation.
Once they had it that corporations
have no souls. We believed it be-
cause we didn't do much thinking
about it. AS matter of fact corpo-
rations do have souls-just as much
soul as the very human men behind
them. These are the days when we
are beginning to find it out.
Now we are told that Labor has
no soul-that if it gets the upper
hand" We'll all go straight to the
damnation bow-bows.
But we won't go to the damna-
ton bow-bcws.
We won't because Labor has got
soul-and a head-just as much soul
as the very human men behind Labor.
We've allowed ourselves to be buff
faloed by an oninous fantasy. We've
hynotized ourselves with social hor-
rors. We're nervous.
In the next decade Labor is going
to get more than it has ever gotten
before. Which is fitting and proper.
The Big Interests in the past have
had a beautiful commercial joy-ride.
Now they're running out of gaso-
lene. They're paying the price for
not avoiding the appearance of evil.
Now it's Labor's turn. But there's
no need to get excited about it. The
average working man in America
tucks his shirt in his pants and keeps
his hair cut. He's too shrewd to go
pulling down the temple upon his
own head.
Let's view Labor for what he is
not illiterate Russia personifed, but
John Jones over in the next street
whose garden backs up to ours and
whose daughter is taking piano les
sons Friday afternoons. Let's get
over our nerves and negotiate with
him for what he is. Let's dwell up
on human equation lin Labor as we
must with Capital.
:. Then it will be proved to US that
FOR every human problem there's a
human solution.
We think so.

THE LABOR PROBLEM

We are hearing whole lot these
days about the Labor problem.
Labor" is a great sinister subtle
boyle which must be dealt tactfully
with, coddled, petted, appeased,
coaxed, tanned. If it isn't, Labor is
going to grab the throttle and run
US all into the ditch.
According to some folks, Labor is
about two steps removed from the
Bolsheviki. And there's one minister
in st. Johnsbury, according to today's
paper, who sincerely believes that if
we persist in whacking the Red Flag
gers in the newspapers and tarring
and feathering them in a literary
way, we're going to drive the whole
blooming works into the open arms
oft he Wild-eyed Willie crowd.
The moral is, we are to watch our
steps.
That is, if we are the "scarezable'
kind.
Which in this case, we are not.
The trouble with these folks who
grow goose-fesh at the mere thought
of Organized Labor is that they've
created a huge bugaboo with which
they turn about and scare themselves
to death.
Now, outside of a few Trotskys il
the big cities, what does Labor con
sist of-what but men, common Or
binary three-a-meal-a-day men, mel

and pains and corns and troubles, tn
chap who goes home at noon to

AthIeticism in the East.

The general athletic awakening is
perhaps the most important effect that
our occupation of the Philippines has
had upon the far East. Just as the old
Olympic games. begun by one village,
grew to be the great recurring event at
which all the Hellenic peoples could
meet in peaceful competition, so this
modern athletic movement starting
from Bagnio has spread to other far
eastern peoples, and has given them
not only a ground for friendly meeting,
but also a basis for genuine respect
and mutual understanding.

pleted by Peter c. Schmidt of this
city, president of the new Phez com.
pany, to take over the Wenatchee
plant of H. E. Farwell. This means
that the Phez company, successors to
the Northwest Fruit Products COM
pany. will erect a plant in Wenatchee

ing natural and pasteurized cider,
also jams. jellies and preserves. using
all kinds of fruits grown in the We

in Salem. Oregon, and in Olympia.
What is known as the hydraulic
system will be used in handling sup
plies at the new plant. They will be
conveyed from place to place in water
and will be washed by means of re-
volving brushes, so that every apple
will be scrubbed and polished before
being crushed. The company is con-
tracing for Gull apples for the CON-

INJURED BALL FAN LOSES
HIS CLAIM TO 900 BERRIES

To recover real cash for injuries
sustained at a ball game, the dam
aged fan must admit and prove to the
satisfaction of the supreme court that
he doesn't know a foul. bail or wild
throw when he sees it and never once
a suspicion that either
could hurt him if it hit him.
Che supreme court reversed itself
the other day to add this provision
to the general rule book in the case
of Edward A. Hawaiian, who was last
winter sustained in a $1,000. judy
ment against D. E. Dugdale for stop
ping a fast one with his knee while
sitting In an unscreened section of
the Seattle grandstand. 1t.>wasn't a
particularly good year for Dugdale,
either.
Five of the supreme judges so held
in departmental decision, but when
all nine of them got on the field this
spring for new judicial workout
they discovered that Hawaiian was
qualified fan, who had the choice of
sitting behind the screen. but took
the open for a better view of the
game. BY this act he forfeited his
claim for recompense when somebody
edged the ball his way. The high
court also seems. to intimate that a
regular fan should always be able to
see it coming.
At any rate Dugdale's last seasons
receipts are $1,000 feshier than part
of the supreme court originally as
sessed them at. and the fan who
hereafter takes the open court of the
stand, likewise accepts responsibility
for what happens to come his way.

for

More than $45,OOO,OOO worth of
motor trucks are about to be distrib-
uted by the secretary of agriculture

capacity from two to five tons. is to
pay the loading and freight charges. ;"

AT THE CLOSE

q gain of 3 per cent in

first five months
of this year as
against the same
months of 1918.
We are agreeably

showing; we feel
that we deserve it
else we would not
have gotten it.
Through the past two
years of advancing
prices we have
steadily held to the
selling of goods at
q fair profit above
what we paid for them,
instead OF q profit
based on their market

we are only doing
as we would like
to be done by.
Our price will
always be to you

money invested;
this interest representing

Flagstaff, where Winslow suffered a
defeat
The second game was played on our
own gridiron, and, for the first time
in the history of the Winslow High
school, the home team defeated the
N. A. N. S. eleven to 0. The game
showed from the beginning that both
teams were at their best. Winslow' S
line was the lighter by several pounds
but what they lacked in weight was
made up in team work
Clark, Winslow's full back, carrid
the ball over the line in the third
quarter for the only touchdown of the
game.
The kick for goal was a failure,
owing to the wind which was blowing
heavily.
Every man on the team stared indi-
vidually and deserve the highest
praise.
The local roOters were out in full
force and undoubtedly helped our boys
to their victory.
The season this year, though short,
was successful and next year we hope
to do greater things. Mr.. Brannigan
and Mr.. Price have worked hard for
the interests of w. H. S.
