Billy" Welsh, fairly outdid himself in

Juicy notes and items of interest per-
tanning to the local lodge, and surely
must be appreciated by all the mem
bers. Come again, Daddy"

There are several-just very, very
few-machinists working in a certain
plant in the city who ought to be
ashamed to look an honest man in the
face. They haven't any respect for
their families or they wouldn't expect
them to look in their face day after
day. This refers to the three or four
fellows who formerly were members
of the Machinists' Union and always
had the loudest mouths at the meet
ings and in the shop, but who quickly
showed that broad streak of yellow
when it looked like they might lose
week or two's pay. We don't know
just where to class this particular
breed, not having anything particular
against the scab, the skunk nor the
hyena, and not caring to insult either
of the aforesaid three species of
what-not, so for the lack of class
low enough we will have to give up
CHASING them. But, anyway, they
ought to be ashamed to look decent
man in the face1

Now that the social survey is being
made and the bad spots of the city
are being pointed out to US, who is
going to clean up the muss? Would
MT just little bit less survey and a
little more work help?

Don't do your Christmas shopping
out of town, brother. Our stores are
jamed full of everything you may
need, and in many instances at prices
better than you can get in stores out
Of the city. Don't let the clerks in
the big town stores repeat the re-
marks they have been known to make
about Hamilton buyers-"We see
them comm Buy at home-be loyal
to the old town.

After suggesting to the operators
that they advance the wages of the
miners go per cent until the national
wage negotiations now on at Wash
ington be concluded, and upon the re-
fusal of the operators to agree to his
suggestion, Governor Frazier, of
North Dakota, had the militia of that
state seize the Wasburn coal mines
on the ground that he didn't propose
to have the people of his state freeze
when there is plenty of coal to be OBJ
tanned. We've got to take our hats
off to that gentleman, and if our own
governor would screw up enough
nerve and backbone to follow Govern
or Frazier's example, we should worry
about a coal strike in this state.

According to officials of the gov
ernment bureau of chemistry, butter
consumers in many cases are getting
large percentages of water, salt and
coloring matter. Several large ship
ments of inferior butter have been
seized recently by the officials. No
doubt this is the same brand of but
ter as that some of our rural cousins
are passing off on the city folk at
real article prices.
