THE air we breathe the food we eat
And all we drink is pisen,
And how we live from day to day
Is really quite surprising.
Malaria RACES in the South
And North and East and West,
Pneumonia mows US down like grass |;
And typhoid does the rest.
But of all the microbes great or small
That nature sends to fight US
The worst that ever struck man
Was the germ of fisheritis.
When this disease gets hold Of you
Your name is DENNIS MUD.
For it never quits its working
When it once gets in the blood.
So when the thing gets chronic,
1t simply can't be broke.
You've got to go and fish it out
Or just lie down and croak.
And when its cured it won't stay
cured
Like any other sore;
So when the thing breaks out again
You've got to fish some more"

WESTERN SLOPE GROWERS FIND
HOPE IN GEORGIA STORY

The well proven statement that
history repeats ITSELF makes the fu-
ture of the recently incorporated
United Fruit Growers Association on
the Western Slope OF Colorado very
bright in the light of the history Of a
similar organization for the selling of
watermelons in Georgia. After forty
years Of haphazard selling, with the
industry in the hands Of spectators,
the melon growers Of southwestern
Georgia organized in 1921 a system of
cooperative marketing that has re-
volutionized the industry. During the
first season the quantity of melons
shipped was greatly increased and
the price was $195.40 against $64.65
under the old method. The organiza-
ton made the raising Of melons q
business instead of speculative
gamble.
Under the leadership OF the United
Fruit Growers association, the fruit
growers Of the Western Slope have
the same wonderful opportunity for
the development and expansion Of
their market outlet.
Another story of equal encourage
ment comes from the opposite corner
of the republic-Peshastin, Washing
ton. There, cooperation this last
year reduced handling costs. cut
down selling costs. financed the
growers operations safely and sane
ly. It brought the members better
prices for their fruit than was Sc
cured by any other group Of growers
in the entire Wenatchee-O kanagan
district OF Washington. where they
are located.
What has been done can be done
again

The McCarthy weekly news., 1923-10-27

After listening to the different men who have spoken in the towns and cities of Alaska during the past sum mer, editors seem to agree that Capt. Dancey and the Americanization cam paign are the most sincere of any men or propaganda that have appeared in the North. After hearing the Captain lecture we fall in line
 His message is simple yet, regretably, one that this country is sadly in need of. He merely asks that we be what we shoucd be, good clean cut 1O0% A. mericans, true blue and not tinged pink, red, green; yellow, orange or any other color.
 Captain Dancey is we'll konwn chautauqua lecturer and newspaper man in the states and is also one of the most loyal members of the American Legion. His work in Alaska was donation to the Legion's Americanizat ion program and he has certainly gone into it heart and soul. He states his the argument in easily understood language and drives his facts home in way that makes us stop and real. ize what poor Americans we really are.
 The Americanization program is what we really needed, and it has a wakened many people. It is to be re- gsetted that such work is not made part of the regular reportrie of all lect- urers, who tour the states.

the War has brought, but rather the true American spirit and the courage that has placed the American soldiers name in the high roster of loyalty to country and devotion to duty.

The formation of an American Le- zion post at Kennecott will fill long felt want of the ex-service men in this vicinity. There is an ample number of men who at one time wore their Unc- les kahki who will hold up their hand and say T do", when the word is pas eed around.
 If Captain Dancey had accomplished nothing else, he has at least made the ex-service men wake up and snap into it. This is more than anyone else has managed to do and he is to be compli- mented on his ability to arouse that, "set toegther spirit"

Day
Armistice

Three weeks from tomorrow the fourth anniversary of the signing of the armistice, which to all intents and pur poses brought to a close the greatest conflict ever recorded in the history of the human race. The loss of life was apalling, taking as it did the flower of the manhood of all nations engaged, and manning thousands more. Nation al bankruDcy was the lot of many of the powers engaged, while every one of the powers are carrying War debt of billions. What has the sacrifice ac- rifice amounted to when applied to the world as a whole:
 The Germans have their independa- nee, coupled with bunkrupcy that has put them in the hands of the receiver France; the Japs have Yap; the Rus ians have Bolshevlsm; England and other countries, larger slices of this world; several peoples have countries of their own; school children have a lot more history and geography to learn and the Kaiser has callouses on his hands, and woodpile that would be worth real money in this town.

The Glenwood post., 1923-05-24

According to briefs filed before
the commission, the cost of labor
is 68.s per cent of the total cost Of
production. In other words, if it
costs an operator 81 ton to pro-
duce coal, he must pay $1.35 Of this
amount for labor. The remaining
65 cents must defray bills for sup
plies and mining material, cover de-
probation on the equipment and de-
pletion of the coal supply.
An interesting fact, which the op-
orators point out, is that unlike the
manufacturer whose plant develops
greater production year after year,
the operator is utilizing a reserve
supply of limited quantity and bis
| depletion charge IS necessary to
cover this exhaustion.

Ogle, Terre Haute, Ind, president
of the National Coal Association,
andj ]. G. Bradley, Dundon, West
Va, president of the West Virginia
Coal Association, are three of the
leading operators who are cooperat-
ing with the United States Coal
Commission in its efforts to find a
means of insuring the public against
coal shortages and high prices.
These men, speaking in behalf Of
the industry, declare that frequent
labor interruptions have forced up
the cost of coal and made it impos-
sible for them to render fair service
to the public. When a nationwide
strike is called by the United Mine
Workers, 60 per cent of the sup
ply is cut off, and they point out
that unduly high prices are the in
evitable result of this curtailment.
