Wages are determined by the aver

This not Only mclndcs the day-by-iay
production of labor power but also
the cost of rearing family Of children
to REPLACE those worn out and
thrown upon the scrap heap of in
dustry. In the past it has been. a clever
scheme of the employing capitalists
to import their laborers already grown,
with the cost of their up-briuging
paid upon foreign soil. All that they
had to pay those ignorant foreigners ;
was enough to reproduce their day
by-day labor power.
Now, when the foreigner is no lon.
ger ignorant but insists upon a wage
sufficient to enable him to support
family in decency, All! That is a
different story. He is branded a red

he came FROM is asked. Back to
where he was BROUGHT from, would
be a term more nearly correct.

prowess as mouser and rat-catcher
created such wholesale depletion Of
the rodent ranks that the rats and
mice called a convention to discuss
ways and means whereby the dcpre

avoided. After much discussion Of
many plans and schemes it was finally
decided that the best thing to do under
the circumstances would he to put a
bell upon the cat so all would know
OF its approach in time to make their

It was a lovely scheme but when

 Neither Mrs. Crutcher nor any of the mans relatives can assign a reason for Crutcher's act. It is said that he had been in i'll health for several months, but he had nev- CT shown any signs of insanity. However, it is believed that he was mentally unbalanced.
 The children's ages were FAC and 8. The surviving children are II and 13. According to those first reaching the scene of the trag- edy, the tracks on the bank of the bay indicated that Crutcher threw his children into the water one al a time, making a trip back to the buggy each time.

M. & ". A. Will Ask
 For Higher Rates


 Fort Smith, Ark, Aug. 3.-It will be necessary for the Missouri & North Arkansas Railway Company to ask the Interstate Commerce Com mission for a still greater increase in freight and passenger rates than granted last Saturday, in the opin- ion of J. Sam Rowland of Harrison former member of the state rail road commission, who was in Fort Smith today on legal business.
 The road, which has been in the hands of receivers for several years, is losing from $25,000 to s35,000 month, according to MT. Rowland. The line is one of the benefieiaries of the Cummins-Esch railway bill, whereby the carriers are guaranteed 6 per cent on their properties until September 1. When the government guarantee ceases it will be necessary to make up the deficit through in- creased rates or the road will go out of business Mir. Rowland fears. MT. Rowland says the company will immediately ask the Arkansas Cor poration Commission for increased intrastste rates.

 Tracks of Crutcher were found on the bank of the bay. About mid night the body of one of the children was seen floating on the water. Be- lieving that Crutcher and the child ren had lost their lives in the bay, several men returned to the neigh borhood in which the family lived and asked for volunteers to assist in dragging the bay. Practically every man and boy in the commu- nity responded.
 After dragging the bay all night the body of Crutcher was found. Although the bay has been dragged continuously since Sunday night

''I am so happy, feel like shout ing for joy and I simply have to tell everybody I meet what Tanlac has done for me-" said Mrs. W. Knebell. of 619 Mathew street, Pe- oria, III.

 "Even as a girl I was never strong and healthy and as time passed new troubles set in. Every bite I ate hurt me and I would have severe cramps, gas formed and presses around my heart so bad fight for breath. My kidneys caused me to have backache until I thought it would drive me distracted and if tried to stoop over my back felt like it would break in two, and even the weight of my clothes hurt me so much I had to have them made so their weight was all on my should CTS. When I tried to sweep the floor or cook a meal 1 became so weak and dizzy l had to lie down, and my nerves were so shattered l could nardIy ever sleep aJ nignt. This was my condition for twenty long years--not one day, but every day and could never get any pleasure out of life.
 When you go this way year in and year out and then find med icine like Tanlac it just seems too good to be true. My appetite is now splendid and I eat heartily three time day without bit of trouble afterwards. My kidneys never both CT me any more and the pain in my back has disappeared entirely. 1 never have dizzy spells now and my nerves are so steady I sleep all night long like a child. am so strong l do all my house work and never get tired and am so happy over my splendid health that I can hardly contain myself and I will never be able to praise Tanlac enough"

Lieutenant Colonel Charles w.
Whittlesey, former commander of the
Lost Battalion" who told the Ger
mans to go to hell when they deman-
ded the surrender of his troops has
announced his support of the League
of Nations and his intention to vote
for Cox.
II am in favor of the League as
1t stands or with reservations" Col.
Whittlesey said. Il don't think that
this or any other country can stop
the ultimate operation of the League
and l think the sooner we get into it
the better 1t will be for the world
For that reason I am going to vote
with the party that wants the League
of Nations now"
Col. Whittlesey probably saw as
much fighting as any other American
in France. Military decorations test
Hy as to how hard he fought so he
may be considered an expert on the
matter of war when he says that
almost any price is not too great to
pay to stop it."
Opposition to the League is simp-
ly the manifestation of a reactionary
spirit with which every great move
ment in history has had to contend"

frightened by. Article X. am not
afraid of internationalism, the bogie

ROCkET|NC TOWING RATES
INCENSE MASTER LOCCERS
Lumbermen File Complaint to Public
Service Commission Against 10 per
cent Increase.

A complaint was received Monday
at the office of the state public service
commission from the Logger's Infor-
nation Association with headquarters
In Seattle In which the lumbermcn
are asking the commissioners TO sus-
pond the increased rates of the North
western Tow Boat Association until
further investigation and hearing.
The complaint states that the is
per cent? increase asked for by the
tow boat association is unjust aud
unreasonable and ask the commission
to look into the matter before grant
ing the order for the increase, which
were to have become effective Oct
ober "a, 1920.
In the tariff filed by the North
western Tow Boat Association all
rates for towing were increased 10
per cent while an increase of Is per
cent was made on all rates for steam,
sailing and dismantled vessels to and
from any port below Port Wilson,
north or south. The proposed in
crease will greatly affect all lumber
industries which depend upon water
carriers.

GEORGE F.. COTTERILL
TO BE HERE MONDAY
Democratic Candidate for U. 8. Sena.
tor win Address the People of
Olympia October Is.

George F. Cotterill democratic
candidate for United States Senator
will speak in Olympia at noon meet
ing next Monday. Mr. Cotterill is
one of the most logical and eloquent
speakers in the state Of Washington.
He discusses the questions before the
people in this national campaign,
particularly the League Of Nations
and the records Of the candidates
relative to the prohibitory amend
ment and the laws passed to enforce
the same.
Mr.. Cotterill is we'll known as this
states most eminent prohibitionist.
He is probably the best informed man
on that subject in the United States,
and his discussion ought to be heard
by every believer in the 18th amend
ment. and every believer in sobriety.
Mr.. Cotterill has been in Europe
recently and will tell of the condi-
tions across the sea. the effect the
League of Nations will have on us as
we'll as upon the countries of the old
world. No man in Washington better
understands the League Covenant
or can more ably discuss it.
In addition to the League and pro-
hibition Mr.. Cotterill will also tell
his hearers of the reactionary legis-
latiOn which would greatly in lure the
prosperity Of the country. as we'll as
the progressive which are needed to
complete the work of the world war
and enable us to re-adjust ourselves
to the New Conditions Of advanced
civilization.
Everybody should hear Mr.. Cot
terill who very probably will succeed
Senator Jones as Washington's rep
resentative in the United States
Senate.
