PENSION FUND
FOR WORKERS
Meteor Motorcar Company An
nounCeS Plans Which 1t
Has Formulated.
ALONG COOPERATIVE LINES
Employers and Employees Will Con-
tribute Equally to Fund Raised
General Labor News Notes of
Interest to All.

The Meteor Motorcar company of
PiQua, O., manufacturers of automo-
bile hearses, ambulances and phono-
graphs, has just announced it's inten-
ton Of creating pension fund.
The Meteor company will deposit 81
every week in a local bank for every
employee, provided that employee also
deposits 81. The company also carries
from $1,000 to $1,000 insurance policy
for every employee.
The announcement of this plan came
as a surprise to the workers at a
meeting in st. Georges hall, which
was attended by the workers and their
families.
The plan calls for the deduction of
p cents from the sale of all phono-
graphs and $40 from the sale of all
cars, this money to be put into a spe-
cial fund for the pensioning of all en-
ployees who, through old age, sickness
and accidents, are unable to work.
Employees who have worked for the
company five years or more, will re-
ceive Is per cent of the maximum
wages paid, while those who have
worked ten years for the company will
get 80 per cent Of wages paid.

WAGES OF LUMBERMEN CUT
Reduction Pretty General Throughout
Oregon and Washington-No Equi-
VaIent Cut in Living Cost.

Wages to workmen have been re-
duced in number of logging and lum-
bering camps in Oregon and Washing
ton this month, although the decrease
is not general with all. Reductions
made are from cents to 10 cents an
hour, and the percentage of reduction
thus made in existing wages Is from
1-3 to 16 2-3 from the former scale.
Lumber and logging operators who
have cut wages declare that condi-
lions in the industry made the action
imperative. The cuts made in the lum-
Der industry have been the first indi-
cations of a downward trend of wages
in this district. There has been no
corresponding cut in the prices of any
commodities in the markets. The fed
eral employment bureau of Portland
estimates that of 10000 men out Of
work in Oregon, 5000 are 1oggers and
lumbermen.

HOW JANE HELPED
UNC- : SAM
BY AEthea Nightingale.

The writer of this story, a little
girl in the Everett School of Boston,
has worked hard to prepare something
suitable for use in connection with
the work of selling War-Savings
Stamps. Her idea Of raising flowers
to be given to wounded soldiers, as
well as the plan of a vegetable gar
den for the conservation of food, will
doubtless be adopted by many other
girls and boys.
Once upon a time there was little
girl whose name was Jane Clarke.
She lived In little village outside OF
Boston.
Jane was always trying to help her
country. One day she was sitting
on the doorstep wondering what to
do. She said, 81 have bought Thrift
Stamps and War Savings. but that is

mother smiling.
The next afternoon Jane began
working in the garden. There was
one place in the yard which she had
not used. Her mother told her that
she might use that to plant some
flowers.
It did not take long for the flowers
and the vegetables to grow. After

CASH FROM TRASH
What One Careful Housewife Dis
covered.

Quite as thrilling a story as any
Luther Burbank has to tell was told
by Mrs Edmund M. Parker at a re-
cent meeting of the Cambridge, Mass,
branch of the Special Aid Society for
American Preparedness. Besides be-
ing chairman of the Speakers Bureau
of the Special Aid, Mrs. Parker holds
the same Office in the Savings Divi-
sion Of New England. It was in this
latter capacity that she had secured
Mrs. T. L. Higginson, director of the
division, and Mrs. H. Parker Whit
tington, director of the Salvage Bureau
which has been organized for the
Division, to address the previous
meeting of the Special Aid.
Now Mrs. Parker is a good house
keeper, but after she listened to those
two speakers she went home and set
to work. Old newspapers and a lot
of pasteboard boxes, in one Of which
was a collection of old calling cards
saved from the days before there was
a Social Register, and magazines too
old to be given to anybody, were her
first finds" In the basement were
boxes of rusty nails, several hand
bells, old bicycle chains, padlocks
and keys that fitted nothing.
Everything was gathered together
and then a Salvage" card was put
in the window. Soon there was
call from an excited junkman, who
said the Salvage Bureau told him he
was to pay for junk with Thrift
Stamps whenever he saw that sign.
He offered thirty cents for sixty old
bottles; the zinc in an old ice box
brought ten cents. In all he left 81
worth of Thrift Stamps behind him.
Encouraged Mrs. Parker searched
her bookcases, and harvested $11-75
from them. A box of discarded and
broken silver brought $10.58, and by
the additional investment of Liberty
Bond coupons Mrs. Parker secured in
one month $44 in Thrift and War
Savings Stamps.
Because of associations an old
watch had been kept, but now the
country needs the gold, and what
would not be given over for personal
gain is to be offered upon the altar
of country's need. When the youth
of the nation gave freely of their
lives, it is small thing, Mrs. Parker
says, to give to that same cause arti-,
cles which have outlived their useful
ness and are mere reminders of days
that are past.
