Home FROM CAMP
T.. NJ. BOURNE RETURNS, ACCOM-
PANIED BY HIS son, HUGH.

T., NJ. Bourne returned last even
ing from his southern trip. While IN
route home he stopped W. at Fort
Leavenworth, Kan, and his son,
Hugh N. Bourne, accompanied him
home, having been honorably dis
charged from the 404th engineers.
He has served Is months as a volun-
teer in the regular U. S. army. The
404th engineers are made up from
the 7th regiment of engineers which
is in Germany at the present time.
The 18th regiment left for overseas q
year ago in February. Eight men
were drawn from each company of
the 7th regiment, the drawing TO de-
eide who should go and who should
stay. There are eight men from each
company of the 9TH regiment making
up the 404th regiment or depot bri-
grade which has had charge of the
engineers barracks at Fort Leayen-
worth, the men having taken their
overseas. examination, were booked to
leave when the armistice was signed

home with him, Corp. Jerry being the
mascot of the 18th regiment. When
the regiment went overseas Jerry
could not accompany them so he vas
turned over to Mess Sergeant Jack
son w. Holley, who was mustered
out Saturday, March Is. Then the
question arose who should have Jer-
ny. Nearly every man wanted him,
and it was finally decided hat he
should fall to the youngest soldier in
the regiment, and he was turned over
to Hugh, he being the youngest sol
der in the regiment. Jerry was

taught him. He will stand at atteI-

own name and his new owner. AS
Jerry has always been raised among
soldiers it will be a little hard for
him to become reconciled to civilian
life. He will not be among strangers
as three of his regiment are Madison
men-Faye Crabbs, Andrew Quist
and Hugh Bourne. The former two
are in Germany with the 7th regi-
ment. Jerry will make his home on

city on the west.

Fourth o. July.

Does the Fourth of July have the

it had for his father and his grand

has the modern boy the same capac-
ty for being thrilled?

Although most of the CONGREGATIONS
mentioned fall just outside the

be heard from in the way of storm

tornado stage, but heavy rainfall

parts, great black cumulus clouds
that look very terrifying whether
or not, will appear as
storm areas pass to eastward.
The last regular period for July
runs from the 27th to the end or

the 2Sth, on which date also, moon

of forces is not established by seis

severe storms are almost sure to

fall will most likely be of the local
kind, so commonly characteristic
of Jupiter periods. Just here we
call attention to the Mars brace,
shown in the chart. The Mars in

acteristic of this Influence is to
"hold on to whatever conditions OF

LIVING HIGH HERE, But
HOW G0ES.IT IN BERLIN?

Living is abnormally high in all
American cities-higher than condi-
tions warrant, in the opinion of most
people-but there is a grain of COM
fort in comparing prices at home with
those prevailing in Berlin, for in
stance. A Stockholm correspondent
states that at the best restaurants in
the German capital a fairly good
NEAL may be had for $3.50. There is
no butter or eggs and the bread is
indigestible.
Not one person in a thousand, de-
clares the correspondent, can afford to
pay the ruling prices. The great mass
Of people subsist on the bare ration
allowance, which is shorter than in
1917, but far from sufficient Clothes
and shoes are not rationed, but are
very expensive. A mans suit costs

shoes, $35; a collar, $3.50.
In second, third and fourth class

$3.50, $3.50 and IS cents, respectively.
but the food is not good nor c1eanly

to speak of starvation in Berlin is
exaggeration, though few get really
enough to eat, and the old and weak,
and especially children, often succumb
to the effects Of undertaking.

DEATH OF OWEN MILLER.

Owen Miller, for over a quarter of a
century general secretary of the
American Federation of Musicians,
died last week at his home in St.
Louis. Mr.. 4 Miller was one of the
best known and most highly respected
labor men in the United States.
Among musicians he was dearly be-,
loved for his sterling qualities and his
unimpea enable character. He was
elected year after year to the office
of general secretary without opposi-
ton.
Twenty years ago this month the
editor of The Labor World served with
him as member Of an arbitration
board in Chicago to settle difficulties
then existing in the Hotel and Res
taurant Employees international Ali
ance, and the Bartenders International
League. The other members Of the
board were Thomas J. Lewis OF the
United Mine Workers, John G. Dernell
Of the Cigarmakers' International
union and John r. O'Sullivan Of the
International Typographical union.
We were in session several weeks, dur
ing which time we learned to admire
and respect Mr.. Miller whose death
has cast a gloom over the American
labor movement.

GOVERNOR "TOO BUSY"

Governors of states and mayors of
the chief American cities were in ses-
sion in Washington this week, con-
ferring with President Wilson and
members of his cabinet on plans for
reconstruction. Governor Burnquist
of Minnesota was not present. He
was ito busy" to attend, but he was
not Ito busy" to go to Seattle last
month when the League to Enforce
Peace was in session in Minneapolis
His trip to Seattle was said to have
been in the interest of his candidacy
for vice president. His presence at
Washington this week would have
been in the interest of the working
men and women of the country. But
Governor Burnquist has shown little
disposition to be of assistance to labor
in recent years, and his absence from
the Washington meeting after all was
unimpOrtant.

PLAYING CHEAP POLITICS.

They are playing politics to the
limit in Washington these days. The
Republican leaders are determined
that nothing bearing President Will
sons brand shall receive Republican
approval and for just that reason they
are putting themselves in hole. They
are making determined fight on the
League of Nations and it's constitu-
ton, notwithstanding the fact that
public sentiment is overwhelmingly
for it and that advices from Europe
state that the formation of this league
is the only thing which will guarantee
the future peace of the world, and
save Europe from anarchy and boil

ployment Insurance., just as the work
ingmen of Prussia have been required
to do. In America We are trying to
build up such systems in the Ameri-
can democratic way, by developing
them in our labor organizations as
some of the trade unions have already
begun to do. That is the difference.
The trouble with the opponents of
state insurance is they want labor to
hold the sack.

STREET CAR EXPERT SPEAKS.

The Chicago Municipal Ownership
League took advantage of the pres
ence of Mr.. Nj. Nj. O'Shaughnessy in
the East to hold a most interesting
and instructive conference with him.
Mr.. .O'shaughnessy is the city engi-
neer who is largely responsible for
the great success of the municipal
street car lines in San Francisco. He
addressed the members of the Chicago
League at luncheon at the City Club
and told the story of the San Fran
cisco experience and gave interesting
and important data to aid the Chi
cago League in it's fight for the inme-
diate public ownership of the street
car lines here.
Mr. O'Shaughnessy has been
brought East by the Mayor of De-
troit, Mr.. James Couzens, to assist
and counsel in the fight for the munic-
ipal ownership of the street car lines
in that city.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP WINS.


At the recent bond election in
Watertown, 8. D., municipal owner
ship won by a vote Of 1,195 to 217.
The proposition was to issue bonds
for a municipal electric light plant.
The victory was all the more sig
nificant in view of the fact that the
owners of the private plant made
strenuous campaign against the pro-
posal, circulating widely pamphlet
telling the old, old stories of the ter
rible failures of municipal ownership.
The pamphlet is one that has ap-
peared in almost every campaign
against municipal ownership in the
last ter years. It is SO full OF false
and misleading statements and argu-
ments that have been exploded
hundred times, that no one pays any
attention to it any more. It evidently
had no effect in Watertown!

STATE INSURANCE BEST.

The unbiased opinion Of the age is
in favor Of state industrial insurance.
This fact is recognized by the Mime
sofa State Department of Labor which
recommends the passage of care
fully considered state fund law" which
would be the "best single improve
ment the 1919 session of, legislature
could give along the lines OF compen-
sation.''
The department says that after
much research and study it can no
longer refuse to urge the adoption Of
a state fund. Experience in other
states" the report asserts. has shown
it to be a factor Of prime Importance
in the successful administration of a
workingmen's compensation law
But this unbiased judgment has had
no effect on the Duluth employers
who are perfectly content to have the
private insurance agents do their
thinking for them.

UNCLE SAM TO PAY MORE.

In bill which becomes law today
every government employe is to re-
ceive an increase in salary of $240 a
year. The increase was received
through the activities of the National
Federation of Federal employees. Some
doubt arises over whether or not pos
tai employees will enjoy this increase
