"THE MAGPIE" NETS
$3.50 FOR ANNUAL

The bi-monthly High School paper,
The Magpie," brought in funds to
the amount of $13.AO from its initial
sale. Copies were sold for 10 cents
each and were worth the price. The
first issue consisted of five sheets and
contained cartoons, jokes, essays,
poetry, school news and a serial. The
money was donated to the Annual
Fund by the Seniors at the sugges-
ton of Mrs. Lois Myers Turner.
A good plan was put forward by
Tom Hall, business manager of "The
Lumberjack," in assembly Monday
morning when the subject of getting
subscriptions was brought up. His
plan is to have a popularity or beauty
contest, each class putting up a can
didate and every Annual a member
of the respective classes sold would
count as a vote for her class candi-
date. The young lady receiving the
most votes will have her picture in
the Annual The plan was accepted
and the classes will elect candidates
this week.

SENIOR EPWoRTH LEAGUE
HAVE FUN AT DUMB PARTY

A unique party was given at the
I. ". c. A. Friday night by the Sen
Tor Epworth League. It was called a
dumb party" and everyone had to
pay 25 cents to have the privilege of
speaking all evening. If this was not
PAID, a fine of cents was assessed
for every word spoken.
Delicious refreshments of choco-
late and cake were served as the cul-
mination of very pleasant evening.

the young ladies for the ten-minute-

laughed in Joe's face, and had not

The surveyors who made the pre-

Wage Situation and ADJ
yances i'm Raw Materials
Becoming More Effective
In Finished Goods Costs

In the textile trades che stage
appears TO be set for further price
rises between now and October. Hints
are being dropped In many quarters to
this effect, but there has been no
reaction on the part Of buyers. Higher
prices for raw materials, such as SILK,
cotton and wool, are the chief bases
for advancing prices and the stimu-
lAying effect of the 20 per cent advance
in wages of steel workers has aug
rnented sentiment toward higher tex
tile values.
The advance in steeI wages was the
chief topic of discussion in many bust
ness circles yesterday, and it WAS
generally accepted as an indication
that further wage declines in the tex
tile and allied fields were we'll nigh
impossible. The seeming surrender OF
the Pacific Mills TO the strikers also
was brought up in conversation and
alluded to as straw indicating the
direction Of che wage wind at present.
What effect further price advances
will have on the buying temper of the
trade is q topic of speculation Price
advances made within recent weeks
have been strenuously resisted and the
pressure for business has enabled
wholesalers and jobbers to play one
section of the market against the other
IN holding down prices. Much of the
business in textiles booked in recent
months is said to show an extremely
small profit and considerable por-
tion of It has resulted in actual loss
10 mills and manufacturers booking it.
Less business but that at profit is
q condition that sellers are beginning
to desire. to replace the current state
Of affairs, and with this spirit growing
price advances appear to be extremely
likely

Tire Sales and Output
Continue to Taper Off

Rubber tires sales and production
continue to taper off, according TO local
representatives of tire manufacturers.
Low prices of crude rubber have en-
abled leading manufacturers to cut
prices, but cotton, which represents 81
per cent of total raw material used in
to increase.
Mechanical rubber is in good demand.
Resumption of copper and zinc mines
offsets the lack of orders from coal
and railroad industries. Rubber heel
business has materially increased, the
leading manufacturer planning to turn
out more than 100000 pairs this
year. The continued rainy weather
has reduced retailers stocks of rubber
apparel and they have been forced to
replenish stocks. Glove demand con-
tinues to improve and there is brisk
demand for rubber toys.
