ANCHOR SHIP COMPANY MAX
ING PROGRESS
Machinery Arriving and Being In
stalled and Actual Construction of
Boat on the Ways Will be Begun
Within Short Time.

Great progress is now being made
at the yards of the Anchor Ship
sbuilding company in this city in the
preparatory work to the building
of double end ferry boat for which
the company has contract and as
the days roll by the boat is beginning
to take shape in the loft and pat
tern rooms where the patterns for
the plates are beng turned out.
Work on the ways has also been
started and the keel blocks are now
in place and the ways will be COM
pleted within short time for the
receiving Of the keel plates for the
boat.
|. Thomas e. Watson of Cleveland,
Ohio, who arrived in the city, the
latter part of last week, will have
charge Of the yard work of the COM
pany. Mr.. Watson is an experienced
shipbuilder having done much OF
this work in American and Canadian
yards, and he is in charge of the out
side. work for the company.
Since the visit of the writer to
thescompany yards, in the east part
of the city a, few weeks ago num-
her of buildings have been erected.
One large building near the launch
ING site will be used for pipe shop
while another building near tne
tracks will be used for a receiving
place forsmaterials and q punch shea
has i also sbeen erected.
The angles and plate furnaces nave
been practically completed and VIII
be ready for operation as soon as
the furnaces haveebeer connected up
with thestankr which will contain the
oil fuel which will be used in the
fnrances. Sheds have been erected
over these furances and also over
the bending slab.
The company is now working q
crew of about thirty men, but as
soon as material begins to arrive
this ,number, will probably be added
to. for. with the arrival OF the mac
work of getting aout the steel plates
hinery the company can begin the
punching them nand getting them IN
shape for use on atheaboat.
In the mould loft one is able to
get some idea Of the work being
done. In this loft patterns are
made in the size in which they will
be used O. nthe boat, and are mark
ed for the punching which will take
place on the plates.
1t is expected that the bending
slab, punch shop materials and some
of the. plates will begin arriving.
within the next week or ten days
and from that time the. material will
keep coming.
AS soon as the boat has been. start
ed on the ways work will progress
very rapidly and the boaS will
rapidly take form. When the trip
happers get working with the rivit-
ing crews back of them the people
of Washburn will then know that
actual construction of the boat has
been begun on the ways for there is
much noice as this riviting is being
done.
The boat to be built is to be a
double end ferry boat 113 feet long
with a 33. foot beam and will be
dandy job for the company to turn
out for they can show what can be
done. As far as possible local labor
will be used on the job, Messrs.
Smith, Curr and Watson giving the
Instructors in actual sAipbuilding
to their men who are rapidly learn
ing the business.

Hard coal users of the city are all
wrought up over the action of the
Northwestern Fuel compeny in nd
vancing the price Of coal to local
consumers $1.05 per ton over the
prices which have prevailed during
November and December for they
feel that there was no Justification
for the, advance at this time of the
year.
The coal which is being sold to
the people of this city was brought
here from lower lake ports by boat
during the month of November aHd
the advanced freight rates, which
our contempory so graciously blamed
for the advance, had nothing what
ever to do with the raise in the
price in this city.
a While hard coal users are bemoan-,
ling their luck in not having in a
supply Of coal, yet users Of soft coal
are feeling better because Of an
other tumble in the price of soft coal
which sent il down another dollar
per ton.
Washburn coal users may justly
feel that they are being made the
goat in the matter according to prices
which are being quoted in places not
over five hundred miles from Wash
burn. Herewith we publish clip
ping taken from Milwaukee paper
published on Tuesday Of this week:
Coal Prices Drop So Ton Here.
Coal was cut an average of $500
a ton yesterday. The Consumers
Company was selling Franklin Coun-
ty egg, lump and nut coal at $8.75
for load lots and s9.15 for single
tons. Other retailers sold still
lower, David Rueter & Co. selling
Franklin County coal, single tons
or load lots. at $8.75. This company
sells Pocahontas at $11. The South
! eastern Coal Company says it is
selling 2Oe0 tons Of Pocahontas a
day at SO ton. Some. retailers as
sert prices will not drop any lower.
They blame the weather for the cut
in the prices.
The difference in the freight rate
on coal to Milwaukee and to Wash
burn could hardly amount to the diff
ference between $500 and $500
per ton.
| The coal industry of the country
needs investigation and it will pro-
Ibably get it If the people continue to
be fieeced, as some of the Senator'S
at Washington claim;

SOFT GOAL PRICES TAKE TUMBLE:
HARD COAL PRICES STILL HIGH HERE
SCOUTS WIN AGAIN
Second Game Victory Over Iron
River Scouts.

The Scouts basket ball shooters
entertained the team from the Iron
River troop ON Saturday evening,
Jan. s, and hung up another scalp
to dry for the winter. The same
team played at Washburn a year
ago, and the home boys won an over
whelming victory, SO that this time
they thought they were going to
have easy picking. Just such
thoughts, however, lose many a
game, and during the first half it
began to dawn on Washburn that
their guests were also playing the
game. In fact, at one time early in
the period, Iron River led by one
point, and when the first session was
ended, Washburn had the edge by
only to 5.
Between halves, the usual services
were held in the locker room, and
the second period told a different
story. In. this stanza, Iron River
got only one field goal, anJ } two
points from the foul line, while the
Scouts got their short passing forma-
tions limbered up, and rolled in 19
points. The final score was 25 to
in Washburn's favor.
Three were number of interest
ing features in the game. Cease,
as usual, besougnt his opponent to
'see the pretty birdie, way up there"
and in the meantime he streaked
down the floor, shot basket, and
got back home before his forward
suspected that there wasn't any
birdie; four times he did this, and
three of the times he got his basket.
Alton and Haglund worked smoothly
together, and scored often in spite
of the close guarding of the visit
ing backs, WHO made them work
harder than usual. The Washburn
guards proved to be the usual tight
combination, and aided by Morgan's
valuable defense, they were about as
easy to score on as high board
fence. About halfway through the
second half, Cease and Kopplin got
to affectionate altogether, and were
chased to the bench by the referee
who kept things we'll in hand sil
the way. About the same time
Morgan got a cut which put him out
of the game, and the visitors also
changed scenters, so that four sub.
stitutes got into the game, all Of
whom played well. The line up:

Woman can solve all her senti- mental sorrows by earning her own living, is the claim of certain fem inists and of some big businesses whose success depends upon low priced labor.
 If woman is unmarried and financially independent, she will never take for a husband the first man who offers himself. She will be free to pick and choose her mate. Such is the theory.
 And if she marries and maintains her economical independence, she will be able to keep her husband loyal because she can 'get up and leave him without notice" if he wrongs her.
 How does the theory work out" This query has been put by more than one prospective bride. Writes one of them:
 "The man I am to marry believes 1t will be best for me to keep my job and my salary after our wedding. feet and give excellent reasons for their opinions. Still. I cannot de- eide"
 There has never been much reli- able data to base an opinion upon, but now that one generation of wives has completed a decade or two of working for wages outside of the home, the product of their experi- ence is valuable to brides and mighty interesting to other women.
 "I am one of the wives who stayed at profession after marriage. I am 30. but I feel as if l were 100 years old.
 My husband and are physicians. He suggested that I keep on in his office after our wedding. I saw no reason for doing otherwise.

NEW ENGLAND DINNER


 Sometime between Christmas and New Year plan toshave a very plain dinner. This not only relieves the strain on ones pocketbook but adds sest to the more elaborate meals. A New England boiled dinner is economical and nourishing and if carefully prepared might be served to the most fastidious.
 Arrange the vegetables around tho meat on large platter in such a way that the vegetables form garnesh for the meat. Be careful that the vegetables are not overcooked and broken or mushy when sent to the table.
 And be sure that everything is piping hot. Heat the platter before using and make the dinner plates warm.
 Salt pork or corned beef may be chosen.
 New England Boiled Dinner
 Two or three pounds of meat, 6 po- tatoes. l head cabbage, 2 parsnips, 4 carrots.
 Rinse meat in cold water Put in kettle to boil with enough cold water to more than cover meat. Bring slowly to the boiling point and sim mer three hours. Remove meat and finish cooking In oven in casserole. Pare potatoes and cut cabbage in quarters. Cook these vegetables in the water the meat was boiled in. Put the cabbage in Is minutes before the potatoes as it takes the cabbage that much longer to cook. Scrape par snips and cut in quarters.
 Scrape carrots and cut in halves lengthwise. Cook parsnips and car rots separately in boiling salted wa ter until tender. It takes parsnips from an hour to an hour and a half to cook and the carrots about an hour.
 And the next day serve any of the meat that is left sliced cold with catsup.
 The dessert to serve with thi. din- Ter should be plain. Pumpkin pie apple pie or old-fashioned apple cake would be quite all right

A HUSBAND TO MARCIA
By CAROLYN BEECHER

save as good friend. How could Muriel know that her companionship was like a breath of fresh air blow ing over the artificiality of his life? He had grown earthly in his compan- ionship with Marcia. Now he saw life from a. different angle, as some thing to be used and at the same time enjoyed. His work also took on different meaning. He thought of the creative side of it. instead of the emoluments he hoped to gain. And such thinking. the creative thinking, was good for him.
 Marcia had written that because of the delightful weather. the good time she was having. she and Nell French had decided to remain two weeks longer. She hoped he wouldn't be disagreeable about it, Secause even if 1t was expensive it was doing her a world of good. Then she added:
 Do be good sport and run down over sunday with Bob. Nell tells me he is coming"
 John answered immediately: Tt will be impossible for me to | come down. But I will find the money for you. am glad you are | having so nice q time and that it 1 seems To De dolnS you good. l shall let Della go home for the remainder of the time you are away Write me | in advance when you make up your mind to come so can have her back. | shall take my meals wherever I happen to be.

I told them to keep it there until you returned You will want to look it over and be sure it is just as you ordered"
 There was a little more. some gos- sip he had heard concerning people she knew, the birth of son to an- other, an invitation to a large recep- tion. which he jolxingly said had made him willing that she should stay | away because he would not bt obliged to go.
 Marcia smiled as she read and said to Nell French:

 .. Johr Aldr'eh was not an impress sionable man. Aside from the pie ture of Elaine Wetmore, he held in his heart; Marcia had been the only woman in his life. Not that he had not had his schoolboy affairs. his fnconsequential loves, but there had been nothing verging on the serious, nothing that he could even recall plainly. He had been like thousands of other boys, no different.
 He also had ingrained a reverence for the marriage tie not unusual in men of this type. He knew Marcia was faithful and no thought of being anything but faithful also ever oc- cured to him, even when Marcia was most difficult.
 Yet he could not banish MurieI Doran's sweet face from his mind. and the sound of her triante voice fingered in his memory. A day passed. Again he walked past the shop. The cup had been taken from the window. Sold. perhaps.
 But it was not entirely that thought which caused John ,Aldrich to go in side the shop. He would see Muriel again-at least he hoped so.
 He was not disappointed. After that visit their common interest in rare china, her knowledge of its value, her love of it's beauty so like his own, made their acquaintance easy Then, too, he found she was acquainted with people he knew, col lectors of pottery and china, men with whom he had mingled before he married. but had seen only casn : ally since his work occupied him so intensely and he could spare no money to add to his collection. so had not frequented the shops where he would be apt to run across them. Muriel Doran was bit like Elaine Westmore. She also was a clear eyed, straightforward girl, a bit real istic, yet with a courage and perse- verance that won admiration from 1 all who knew her. She was totally unlike Marcia in every way.
 John bought the cup, although his conscience stabbed him for doing so 1 Then he had chatted while with Muriel After that it seemed but the

cAATTERER GROWS TOO
 CURIOUS
BY THORNTON w. 5uI

M FRASSS
 f-Esra-body knows how curious Peter Rabbit IS. He is forever polk luE hts wabbly little nose in where ,s has no business to be and as re- sC2t Peter is forever getting into troMt5e. Whenever Chatterer the Red Squirrel has heard new story bout Peter and his scrapes his cu- rfcSstv has got him into. Chatterer has said that Peter got no more than l-c deserved. As for himself. he might s.r curious about a thing he saw the first time. but he had s0o much sense fe uac6dle with it until he knew all shout it. So Chatterer had come to fse thought very smart, quite too smart to be caught in a trap-at least ta he caught in an ordinary trap.
 Now. a great many people manage sN make their neighbors think they are a great deal smarter than they really are, and Chatterer is one of this kind. If some Of his neighbors could have peepepd into Farmer Browns corn crib the morning after Farmer Browns bcy found the tell szfc corncob so carelessly dropped by Chat5erer. they would have been sur rr5Se6- Xes, sir, they would have been surprised They would have seen Chztterer the Red Squirrel. the hoaxssr. he of the sharp wits. show srE quite as much curiosity as ever possessed Peter Rabbit.
 Chatserer had come over to the corn crib as usual to get his daily supply of corn. As usual, he had raced about over the great pile of yellow corn Quite suddenly his sharp eyes spied something that they hadn't seen before. It was down on shc floor Of the corn crib quite near the door Chatterer was quite. sure tha- it hadn't been there the day be- fore. II was . very queer looking thing. very queer, indeed. And then he xpied another queer looking thing near it. only this was very much smaller. What could they be? He looked zt them suspiciously. They arckei harmless enough. He ran a few StrpS toward them and scolded just as he scolds anything new he finds out of doors Still they didn't move He ran around on a little ledge where he could look right down cn the queer things. He was sure now that they were not alive. The hSESeSt one he could see all through Inside was something to eat. The 1isefeSt thing was round and flat with fanny bits of wire on top It looked ax fl st was made of wood. and in the sides were little round holes too small for him to put his head through.
 Leave them alone" said a small voice inside of Chatterer.
 But I want to see what they are and find out all about them," said Chasferer.
 >o good ever comes of meddling with things you don't know about" said Inc small voice.
 Bur they are such queer looking things. and they're not alive. They can't hurt me- raid Chatterer.
 Nevertheless he ran back to the pile of corn and tried to eat. Some how he had lost his appetite. He couldn't take his eyes off those two queer things down on the floor.
