Strand.

When Marguerite Clark, the chic lit
tie Paramount-A Aircraft star. was told
that Luck in Pawn" her new picture
now being shown at the Strand theater
this week, presents her as a girl artist
attired in the conventional smock and
in action with palette and brushes, she
was delighted, for ,painting is one OF her
pet hobbies and she has done some ex-
tremely meritorious work in water col
ors and oil. She enthusiastically aues-
toned her director further about her
artistic career in the film.
You are a rank failure he said I'M
feelingly, and end up by marrying a
millionaire"
Miss Clark, in the picture, doesn't
take her lack OF success as an artist se-
riously, and Luck in Pawn" Is said
to be one Of the brightest comedy We
hicles in which she has yet appeared.
The little artist goes to a summer hotel
to consult a noted painter about her
work, n there meets a young mil
lionaire, who, after a series of anus
ing complications, falls in love with her.

SPOKANE.-Th Inland council
composed of present and striking
union employees of the Spokane & In
land Empire railway, today served
notice on the platform men of the Spo-
kane Traction lines demanding trat
they strike Immediately.
The demand was placed in the
hands of E. j. Parker, president OF
the platform men. d. P. Reid is
president of the Inland council ano
A. C. Smith is secretary.
The notice is in the form of a res
olution and it states in part that;
"The platform men working for the
Traction company refused to come
off the job in July on the plea that
they had a contract with the com
pany that required 80 days notice
1t further states that ample time has
elapsed and the platform men have
not yet come off the job, nor have
they given the 80 days notice."
1t further states that Sin the event
that you still refuse to quit we, the
council, have no other alternative
than to conclude that you deliberate
ly choose the cause of the company
against us, and we shall govern our
selves accordingly"
"The platform men have been in
sympathy with the cause of the In
land strike from the beginning, but
we are not in sympathy with its lead
ership," stated Mr.. Parker today. "The
strike from the very beginning, was
not and never will be sanctioned by
our International Our union will go
and back up its principles all the way
through, but it will not tolerate D. P.
Reid and his one big union ideas.
That is the sole reason we pulled away
from the whole situation.
"The platform men are satisfied
with conditions. We have been treat
ed well by the company, and we are
not ashamed to tell the public.

on strike now. To tell the truth, that
question is the farthest from our

Mix has been threshing grain on his
farm north of town since finishing
his peas. The little thresh-
er made by the Idaho National Har-
vester company, of which Mr.. Mix is
as combination pea, bean
and grain thresher, is doing just as
good work in grain as it did in peas
and it is claimed it did the best pea
ever seen here.

AMERICAN CONSTITUTION
DAY TO BE CELEBRATED

Wednesday, September II, is "Con-

the adoption of the constitution of the
United States, and it is proposed to
celebrate this event throughout the
country The object is to acquaint
the American people and the foreign
ers within this country, with the con-
stitution. William E. Lee, George
w. Suppiger and A. H. Oversmith
have been appointed the committee
for Latah county to arrange this cele-
bration. Fortunately this comes on
one of the days of Latah county's
harvest festival, and it is hoped there
will be thousands of visitors here
from other places. A fitting program
will be arranged and will be announc-
ed later. 1t has been suggested that
every one procure copy of the con-
stitution of the United States and
read it over and study it before We'd
nesday, September II, in order that
they may become more familiar with
it. Watch for the program of "Con-
stitution Day" which will be announc-
ed in this paper as soon as it is COM
pleted.

FARMERS BUY HOGS
TO TURN IN STUBBLE
& TAYLOR GET
TWO CALOADS FROM ORO-
FINO FOR FARM NEAR TOWN

Armbruster & Taylor have received
two carloads (198 head) of stock hogs,
weighing an average of 106 pounds
each. The hogs came from Orofino
where they were bought because feed
is scarce there. They were shipped
to Moscow and taken to the Arm
bruster farm of 522 acres which is
fenced hog tight, and turned into the
stubble. They will get the waste peas
and grain and Mr.. Armbruster ex-
poets them to gain 70 pounds each
while picking their own living in the
stubble fields.
The firm had ITO acres of peas that
yielded 81a sacks, of lao pounds each,
per acre. No matter how much care
is. used in handling and harvesting
peas there is bound to be some waste
and this would be total loss if the
farmer did not have hogs to pick these
up. Hogs will get almost every pea
that is on the ground.
Two years ago Mr. Armbruster
turned 300 head of hogs into 300

INDIAN RESERVATION OF r.
62O ACRES TO BE GIVEN SOL
DIERS BY LOTTERY

REGINA, Sask.=The soldier set
tlement board has completed negotia
tione by which the Canadian govern
ment will turn over to it for soldier
settlement 72,620 acres of good farm
land on Indian reserves in Sackatche-
wan, $500 acres in Manitoba and
5000 acres in Alberta, a total of
81, LOO acres.
These Indian reserve lands will be
thrown open to settlement by soldiers
under the lottery system. The soldier
candidates for farms will draw num-
bers which, in order of precedence,
will entitle them to choice of farm
lands. The soldiers will be sold this
land at the price which the govern
ment will pay the Indians for it but
will have twenty years in which to
pay for it. In addition to their land,
the soldiers will be loaned money with
which to stock and improve their
farms.
The first land lottery in Canadian
history was held when ten townships
of the Porcupine Forest reserve on
the Canadian National Railway in
eastern Saskatchewan was thrown
open recently to soldier settlement.
This land which adjoins one of the
richest farming regions of the ia
nous Prince Albert district was COB
bled up by soldiers few days after
the opening. The Porcupine land lot
terry proved so successful, the soldiers
settlement board decided to repeat it
in dealing out the Indian reserve
farms. The Indian reserves affected

PalOuse Grain is Good.

While the Palouse harvest was un-
usually early this year it will still
require more than two weeks of good
weather to see the last of the grain
threshed. This is due to the fact that
the acreage is the biggest in the his
tory of the Palouse country and the
straw heavy. The threshing returns
continue to show good yields the av-
erage seeming to run 80 bushels or
better.
The delivery of bulk wheat at this
place has BEEN delayed somewhat by
the Farmers Union Warehouse COM
pany, which has the only elevator
here, being unable to get cars. Up
to Thursday noon 80 cars of bulk
grain had been shipped and the bins
are still practically full. A few cars
were secured during the past two
days, relieving the situation to some
extent again.
Among the yields worthy of men
ton is that on the farm of Geo. q.
lckes Sr. Mr. Ickes threshed A
bushels of Red Russian to the acre
from a good sized field Tom Sud
derth, who lives just north of town,
also had an especially fine piece of
wheat, his Red Russian, from a 49,
acre field, weighing out AZ bushels to
the acre.
I. F. Farnum has % acres of Mar
quis that will stand watching. The
shocks stand as thick as any that have
been seen in the Palouse country and
a record yield of spring grain may be
expected from this field.-Palouse Re-

DE MANOS
ARE TURNED DOWN
SPOKANE EMPLOYING PRINTERS
REFUSE SCALE DEMANDED
BY WORKMEN THERE

SPOKANE.-Em Employing printers OF
Spokane last night issued the follow
ing statement regarding the new wage
scale demands of the allied printing
crafts:
1--WE regard the demands of the
allied printing trades crafts to take
effect September 1 as impossible. We
have held conferences with the diff
ferent organizations, but thus far
without any progress being made
The compositors, pressmen and bind
erymen are demanding 81 day for
a seven-hour day. They are now
getting $31.50 week on an eight
hour day basis. The average in 65
of the leading cities of the United
States, as large as Spokane or larger,
is $28.O5 on an eight-hour basis.
"The bindery girls are demanding
$28 week for seven hour day.
They are receiving now $16.5O
week for an eight-hour day. The
average in the same 65 cities is $13.7O
week for an eight-hour day.
SIN view of the efforts being put
forth by the government to head off
the continued increase in prices, we
do not feel this is the time to pay
the exhorbitant increases demanded.
"Compositors, pressmen and bind
ers are averaging 65 cents an hour
now. They demand 81, an increase
of about 81 per cent.
"Bindery girls are being paid 33
cents an hour now. They demand
about sc cents, an increase of 100
per cent.
Spokane Scale Always High.
'We have made counter propo-
sition. We are offering the COM
positors, pressmen and binders $34.50 |
a week an increase of so cents
day. We are offering the bindery
girls $18 week for an eight-hour
day.
Spokane printers have always en-
joyed a high scale. The Spokane
scale since last September has been
higher than the average in 65 cities,
even after they were revised and in
creased as of July Is of this year"
The unions involved in the wage
scale controversy are the Spokane
typographical union, the printing
union and the bindrey
mems union, which includes the bind
cry girls. The typographical union
will hold meeting tomorrow after
noon to discuss the situation.
