LABOR DENoUNCEs THE 1. w. w.
X. c. Building Trades Loyal to Gov
prDTneuf-Reliave MOOnev Innocent

IA. Z. Bu1l0Ing Trades Loyal to Gov
ernment-Believe Mooney Innocent:
Kansas City,. June 10.-A resolution
denouncing the Industrial Workers of
the World and pledging the loyalty of
Kansas City labor, was given out here
by Hugh S. O'Neill, secretary of the
combined building trades council of
Kansas City. The resolution declares
Kansas City labor has declined to in
dorse the Mooney strike plan.
While we believe Tom Mooney is
innocent" says the resolution, "a gem
eral strike cannot solve the problem
and get him his freedom. We stand
for the principles that the American
Federation of Labor and Samuel
Gompers represent. The labor move
ment of Kansas City has ignored the
strike ballot and persons who did con-
slider it were defeated by an over
whelming majority"
The document concludes:
The ideals. the laws the very foun-
dation of the American Federation of
Labor and building trades department
are in absolute accord with the laws
and principles of our government and
necessarily antagonistic to theories ad-
vanced by these insidious organiza-
tons"

LAWRENCE RECEIVES FISH RAIN
And X. Z. Professor Says 1t Isn't
Fish Story, Either.

Lawrence, June 10.-Altho it sounds
fishy, a large number of little min
nows, little more than an inch long,
fell from the sky here Monday with
the heavy rain upon the paved streets
of this city.
According to Prof. E. z. Kester, of
the physics department at Kansas
university, it is perfectly possible for
the minnows to be rained from the
sky. He explained that the little fish
are carried up into the air by whirl-
winds or waterspouts which sweep
over creeks and are held in the air by
strong currents of air in the same
manner that heavy rain clouds are
sustained in the sky

WANT A WHEAT ROAD
RelleviIlc Boosters Get Busy for Hard
Surface Highway.

Belleville, Kan. June 10.-The hard
surfacing of the Rock Island highway
thru Republic county is the object of
a whirlwind campaign started here b.
local good roads boosters. With a
record breaking wheat crop soon
ready to market, the fallacy of delay
is made distressingly evident.
Several meetings of the taxpayers
living along the highway have been
held and the desire for the hard sur
face road seems to be practically unan-
imous. Two of the county commits
sioners have taken the matter up with
the state highway commission.

TEACHERS GET RAISE
Increase of $500 a Year Voted by To-
peka School Board.

That long looked for hike in teach
ers' salary is reality now. The
board of education. at a meeting Mon
day afternoon, voted unanimously to
give the instructors an increase of
$500 q year over the 1914 schedule,
now effective. However, a ten per
cent increase on this basis was made
in March. 1918.
This places the maximum salary for
high school teachers at $1,000, and
for grade teachers, $1.155. for the
nine months of school.
The teachers of the Topeka schools
have tried for months to get some ac-
ton on salaries before next year.
They have felt that they were under
paid for their services, which are rec
ognized as very important.

Every Druggist in U. S. In
structed to Refund Price
While You Wait at Count
er IF Relief Does Not Come
Within Two Minutes.
Delightful Taste, Immediate
Relief, Quick Warm Up.

The sensation of the year in the
drug trade is Aspironal, the two
minute cold and cough reliever, au-
thoritatively guaranteed by the labora-
tories; tested, approved and most
enthusiastically endorsed by the high
est authorities, and proclaimed by
the common people as ten times as
quick and effective as whiskey, rock
and rye, or any other cold and cough
remedy they have ever tried.
All drug stores are now supplied
with the wonderful new elixir, so all
you have to do to get rid of that cold
is to step into the nearest drug store,
hand the clerk half dollar for a bottle
of Aspironal and tell him to serve you
two teaspoonfuls with four teaspoon
fuls Of water in glass. With your
watch in your hand, take the drink
at one swallow and call for your money
back in two minutes if you cannot
feel your cold fading away like dream
within the time limit. Don't be bash
full, for all druggists invite you and
expect you to try it. Everybody 8
doing it.
When your cold or cough is re-
lieved, take the remainder of the bottle
hons to your wife and babies, for
Aspironal is by far the safest and most
effective, the easiest to take and the
most agreeable cold and cough remedy
jor infants and children.-Ady.)

Tinker Bob.
well, it can't be because he's get
ting old, for he is so spry and strong
that no one ever gets away from
him"
mo, it isn't because he is old; it's
just his nature. In the winter time
he turns white and in the summer
time he gets brown again.
And when the snowy season is
just beginning and the ground is not
yet all covered, he just gets white
in spots like the ground. You see
his is done for protection, so that
he will not be easily SEEN"
AS Mr.. Weasel came closer, Jack
the Wood Rat began to tremble.

he. II rememo2c when he killed

and thus Roy and | settled ourselves
for a heart-to-heart confab, in the
midst of which the postnan ar
rived.
Then there was the trouble. He
had a postcard for me from Grover
Cleveland Cosgrove who is at Allan
tic City with his dad. 1t was card
with bevy of girls coming toward
a lonely man, the fellow with his
hands in his pockets and far-away
Americus times-recorder., 1919-12-19

looking out into the twilight. Here
and there the snow covered the
ground. Jack the Wood Rat was
watching also, Fear was in his heart
for he knew that Mr.. Weasel would
make short work of him if he could
only catch him.
There he comes," said Tinker,
and Mr.. Wood Rat stood high on his
hind feet to see.
Through the brush crept Mr.. Wea-
sci, searching all the time in earth
crevises, hollow logs, and under
leaves, thinking perchance stray
mouse might be hiding there.
"Do you see," said Tinker Bob,
that his fur has already begun to
turn white?"
"Surely," replied Jack the Wood
Rat, "his fur isn't turning white be-
cause he has been frightened, for
Americus times-recorder., 1919-12-19

look in his eyes.
"This is me, Yolande," Cleveland,
or "Cleve," as we all call him, wrote.
There are quantities of girls here,
but none of them look good to me,
like you do. I'll be back as soon as
the old man let's me, you bet"
Now Roy hates Cleve, just as
Cieve hates Roy. They side-slam
each other worse than two girls ever
would do. They're totally different
In appearance. Roy is fearfully tall
and thin and has a loud voice aid
wears very loose clothes and is ex-
ceptionally blonde. Cleve is short
and extremely dark, almost like q
Spaniard, and has a voice as soft
and purring as the zephyrs. He is
awfully dapper.
Emmy Cunningham insists the
chief reason for their enmity is none
other than I, Yolande. But that is
bosh.
I read Cleve's message a couple of
times. 1t was the kind of message
that pleases a girl. Evidently Roy
read it over my shoulder, for he
suddenly exploded with:
"He's a cheap guy, that's certain,
to say that much on a postcard.
You'd think he'd spend at least two
cents to mail all that much. I'd be a
sport if I were that bug over girl. "
That made me boil. Cleve being
tight has about as much foundation
as if you'd say big lion was pussy
footed.
"Oh. the letter will follow" | said.
"and be ever so much sweeter. He
promised to write every day, and he
always keeps his word"
Cleve really had promised this, but
hadn't intended to tell Roy. 1t
never does to work two fellows
against each other like that; you're
liable to lose both. But Roy provok-
ed me to it, so he did.
He whistled low, and ejaculateda
"Oh, boyw Then he blurted forth:
"The green boob that Cleve is! I'd
waste all that energy on girl that
has any number of nuts hanging
around while I was away" (He was
himself as a nut, but was
too angry to realize it). 81 wouldn't
be surprised, Miss Blair, if yop are
longing to answer this tender effusion
right away, so Til withdraw"
And before I could answer him,
Roy was off the porch with a regular
man stride and the last saw OF
him was his long legs disappearing
down YardIey street as if the Ghost
Of the\ murdered Banquo was in hot
pursuit. I sat perfectly still and
watched him until he was entirely
ost from view.
Somehow I never liked him as well

MARINES SURELY MADE HIT
But Not Altogether to the Extent That One Doughboy lover There"
 Imagined.

He was United States marine. just arrived in France as a relief for one of the men who had been discharged upon condition of relief. He did not know French, and he wasn't aware of the fact that everything in sea- coast town like Brest is named after the sea, which, of course, is Ia ma rine"
 Therefore, when he walked along the streets reading the signs his eyes began to open wider and wider Here was the Brasserie de la Marine, here the Patisserie de la Marine, the Cafe de la Marine and everything else that possibly could carry the affix de la marine" Long the "devil dog" looked. Then he scratched his head.
 "GOsh!" he murmured. "I always knew the marines were good. but never had any idea they'd make such hit as this. By golly, they've named the whole darned town after 'em!
