" consists of five persons, and lb)

only one wage-earner. As to the for
mer, the 1920 census shows 4-3 per

THE GERMAN SUPERMAN
P0EEE

When VIC read of the wages paid
to labor in Germany and compute
them in our dollars We feel that it is
impossible for the American manu-
facturer to compete with the German.
That feeling is warranted IN some
cases it is, however, a wholesome ex-
elcise for US to consider what con-
stitutes the cost of finished article.
This cost is made up, roughly speak
ing, of raw material, labor, interest
on capital, and distribution. For the
raw material used in large percen-
tage of her products Germany de-
ponds or other nations, and this ma
terial she must purchase abroad in
foreign coinage. Try to sell a Ger
man something for $1,000 and see
how it amounts up-it that's proper
tions of fortune-in marks and you
will realize how difficult it is for

raw materials he thus draws from

SCRANTON, Penn, Nov. 29.-, Headel by police. firemen, council men, school directors and Burgess P. B. Dempsey, thousands of citizens Of Olyphant borough, five miles north of here, marched on the Delaware and Hudson Railroad and confiscat ed four cars of coal to supply churches and schools that have been without fuel for weeks.
 The federal government and State Fuel Commission had been accused by Olyphant citizens of having ig- nored their pleas and today they took maiIters into their hands and seized the coal.
 Trucks, wagons, automobiles and vehicles of every kind were pressed into service to haul coal to churches and schools. The schools had been closed for two weeks and 2,500 pu- pills had been out of their classes be- cause coal companies, mining in Olyphant, shipped fuel to other cities and refused to sell any in Olyphant Olyplrant authorities placed an em- bargo upon a train of coal in the borough and are holding it.
 While hundreds of citizens shov- eled coal into trucks, fircmen and police stood on guard to keep rail road police from interfering. There was no interference from railroad authorities, hawever. and tons of coal were moved rapidly to Olyphant.

Discovery of an outcropping of quartz on Douglas Island near the old Treadwell holdings carrying ore assaying as high as $7 per ton. is reported by Guy l.. Smith. repreaen- tatives of The Empire on the island. The find was made by men in the employ of half-dozen business men of Douglas.
 Reports of the find recently reach ed the States and were magnified, one having it that the ore body would rival that of the old Tread well diggings. Surface indications are said to be encouraging but it will take development work to de- termine the existence Of workable orebody

 Everything in the report is true except that the vein has been un- covered From a small section of the ore body which has so far been exposed, samples taken have given assays of as high as S7 to the ton. The ultimate value of the find can- not be determined until the extent of the ore body with it's values are known
 ''The results of the finding sec ond Treadwell gold mine can hardly be ovcrcstimated. When operations ceased which has seemed imminent for quite a period, Douglas will suf' fer accordingly. With that in mind, six business men got together in the early spring of this year for the purpose of trying to locate mine near enough to Douglas to benefit the town proper. Everyone in the town would then benefit according to his interest.
 During the last 20 or 40 years rich float ore has been picked up at various times in the hills back of Douglas and to, find such ore in place or the main ledge which cast off the rich float has been the keen desire of many well known pros pectors.
