OakwaY Sets Stiff Pace.

AT the initial slgn-up meeting for
cooperative marketing of cotton,
held at Oakway Friday morning, six
farmers signed the contract for to-
tai Of 152 bales, based upon 1920
production, which lis the largest
number Of bales signed at one meet
ing In the county SO far.
Friday afternoon at Retreat three
farmers signed total Of 80 bales,
making a total Of 232 bales signed
for The day.
Enthusiasm for efficient market
Ing Of coBton on O business basis
runs high in both communities, and
these two progressive communities
bid fair to pass KeOwee, the pro-
gressive school district now leading
the county in the sign-up.
Business selling on an intelligent
basis Is largely responsible for the
success Of manufacturing enter
prises. 1t Is we'll recognized fact
that other classes OF farmers, chiefly
the fruit growers Of California, sell
ing on the same system, have accom-
plished wonderful results in the
matter OF getting better prices for
The farmers goods than he as an in
dividual could ever get. Why should
the old, un-business-llke system,
where the farmer may as we'll have
his eyes blindfolded while handing
over the chief money crop Of his
farm, be tolerated?

NATURE LOVES BRIGHT COL.

We see the truth of this state
ment in the varicolored flowers, the
vivid sunsets, the birds of brilliant
plumage. But we never see it ex-
emplified more attractively than in
the person of a splendidly healthy
woman. How does nature paint
this health? Why, in the rosy
cheeks, the transparent skin, the
smooth, red lips of such a woman.
And she mods it in firm flesh and
bounded contours. The ailing wom-
an is deficient in natural coloring,
and she does not even appear to
advantage in clothes that would set
off her more attractive sister.
Many women who long for glowing
health will find that they, too, can
have these charms if they will give
trial to that remedy which brings
strength to frail women-Lydia E b.

CRAFT SCALES
END
WAGE PARLEYS
Building Trades Conclude Long Ne
gotiati0ns; Bakers Take Cut;
Oppose Injunction.

Contracts between the building
trades and the Quad-City Builders
Exchange, and between the union
bakers and their employers have
been signed.
Wage scales in the building or
CARNATIONS are unchanged from
those of last year.
Journeymen bricklayers and iron
workers receive 81 an hour; lath-
ers and plasterers SLIP an hour;
roofers 80 cents an hour; carpen-
tiers. hosting engineers, cement
finishers and electrical workers
S71a cents an hour.
Only one disagreement on work
ing conditions occurred during the
negotiations. 1t was the contro-
versy between the bricklayers and
three contractors, the men demand
ing their wages in the form of cash
and the employers holding out for
the right to pay in checks. The men
won after a three-day strike, and
the bricklayers' contracts supu-
late that regular wages be paid in
cash.
Bakers Take Cut.
Union bakers took a 8 to Is per-
cent cut in wages, signing to their
working agreement AZ bakery pro-
prietors in the tTi-cities, only three,
Federal, Korn and Haglund, refus-
ing to enter the contract.
The bakers scale of wages ex-
tends from $2S a week for bench
men to $40 for foremen. The wages
last year were $34 TO $45. Appren-
tees continue to receive SIS a
week, as last year. Contracts were
signed up this week.
Injunction Protests.
Public protest against the ''in-
justice of Judge w. T. Church in
obstructing work of the local unions
of printing pressmen and amalga-
mated clothing workers by injunc-
ton" is being arranged by execu-
tive board of the Tri-City Fedora
ton of Labor Labor's view of its
rights in the injunction matter will
be presented. Plans were made
last night at the Tri-City Fedora
ton of Labor meeting to hold pro-
test meetings.
This decision was reached after
a lengthy discussion of the situa-
tion in the printers and clothing
workers industries. Public dem
onstrations and organization are
made practically impossible by the
court injunctions, the labor repre-
sentatives assert, but effort to en-
list public sentiment on their side
will be made.
When the mass meeting will be
held is to be decided at an early
meeting of the executive board.
