The First Half
Among the interesting happenings
OF the first half were the following
Martindale made two field bas-
kets
Davidson made two field baskets
Larson made one field basket and
five goa pitches.
Hunter made two field baskets.
X. Wilson did some wonderful
guarding.
The total score for first half was
IL to IL in favor of Boise.
The Second Half
We give some of the outstanding
plays of the second half:
Martindale made one field basket
and then a personal was called on
him and j. Wilson was substituted
for a short time only; when Martin
dale went back in, the Boise gang
thought a whirlwind was upon
them.
j. Wilson was substituted for
Davidson and Joe showed good style
and some determination.
Larson did some splendid passing
and showed real style.
Hunter took notion that he
could make a basket and exhibited
great deal of speed and accuracy
in fulfilling his premonition.
X Wilson did some splendid
guarding for as hort time, until
Matthews was substituted. "Tougn'
was red-eyed and did some fine
work, but was unable to get his
bearings before the gun was fired.
The final score was 23 for Oakley
and 81 for Boise.
The boys all played a good, con-
sistent game, but Davidson and La
son were both i'll; tonight, after u
good rest, they will feel better and
when the game starts, you won't
recognize the Oakley team to be the

REDUCED WAGES
Insisted Upon By Lumber
BarOnS

Seattle. = The apparently simple
economic truth that low wages re-
suits in bad times was brought out
at hearing on the lumber trust, con-
Quoted by the federal trade commits
sion.
Gerald Frink, an iron manufacture
er, made the statement that has been
repeated times without number by
organized workers.
1t was shown that lumber owners
combined and attempted to ruin any
dealer who would not join with them.
After they raised prices they reduced
wages and resisted the establishment
of the eight-hour day.
The trusts defense is that if lum-
Der owners go back to competitive
conditions they will be forced to es-
tablish the 10-hour day and cut wages
They find it convenient for the mo-
ment to accept organized labor's posi-
ton and some business men are will

question of wages is not directly in

FAVOR COMMISSION
RULE

Buffalo, N. Y.-The convention of
western New York bankers, held in
this city, declared against abolishing
the state public service commission.
1t was stated that if the commission
is legislated out of office control of
street railway systems, for instance,
will pass to city councils, and this
would not be to the interest of stock
holders in these companies.
That the street car companies favor
the commission system is indicated by
Henry w. Killeen, attorney for the
international Railway Company, of
this city, who told a legislative COM
mittee at the state capitol that only
"jackasses and reds" are opposed tc
the public service commission.
The attorneys employers have been
trying for several months to destroy
the Street Car Mems Union. The
company's losses now run into The
millions, and its system is wrecked
but the strikers are as determined as
ever.

Honey and Honey Plants.

It is reported that the honey crop
of the United States approximates
250,000,000 pounds. 1t may be pointed
out in this connection that as the
nectar of flowers does not become
honey until it Is worked over and part
ly evaporated by the bees, these in
sects must move fully 10000 tons OF
material during the season to make
the honey crop, not including the
honey consumed by the bees them
selves.
About half Of this honey is produced
from the nectar of white clover. Next
In Importance comes alfalfa, followed
closely by sweet clover. These are
all leguminous plants, as is logwood
which produces much honey In the
tropics.
Among the few plants yielding a
honey that can be recognized are cot.
ton, Eastwood, tulip tree, buckwheat
goldenrod and mountain sage.-Wash

UNABLE TO DECIPHER DISK
xled Over Interpretation of Picto-
graphs Concerning Egypt.

What is the Phaestos disk? Ever
since 1908, when it was found on the
site of the palace of Phaestos in south
ern Crete, 1t has puzzled archeologists.
1t looks, says contributor to the
London Graphic, much like q phono-
graph record it is from three-fifths
to four-fifths of an inch thick and is
six inches in diameter. 1t is made of
fine clay and Is supposed to have been
shaped during the Middle Minoan
period or approximately 1900 B. G.
The disk is stamped with 45 picto-
graphs arranged In spiral form to be
read, apparently, from the outer edge
to the center. Four-fifths of the char
acters are entirely new. One that is
exceptionally puzzllng-the plumed
head of a warrior-appears not less
than 10 times.
At one time psychologists hoped
that the characters on the disk would
prove to be elementary forms of the
Phoenician alphabet. Then the thought
of an alphabet was discarded, and
students sought to interpret the char
acters by regarding them as notes OF
music. The results are encouraging
Perhaps some day the disk may tel
us OF the strains to which the beau
tiful Ariadne, daughter Of King Minos
danced and prayed.

SAVED BY INTELLIGENT DOG
How Animal In Australia Brought Re
lief to Helpless Man Severely
Injured In Accident.

A remarkable instance Of intelli-
gence in dog, leading to the relief of
an injured man, is reported from the
nefghborhood of Grafton, Australia.
Riding a horse ten miles from home
In a lonely spot, man had his thigh
broken by the horse stumbling, falling
and then rolling on him.
The horse regained its feet and gal
loped away, leaving it's master on the
ground in great agony. His only hope
was his dog, which ran around in a
state of great excitement, evidently
aware of the gravity OF the accident
The injured man thought out q
scheme for making his whereabouts
known. Calling the dog to him he
tied his coat round 1t and ordered it
to go home. AT first 1t did not realize
what the plan was, but suddenly it
understood and raced away, and in
two hours returned, guiding q rescue
party Of the sufferers relatives.
Shall we say that the dog had no
thought in understanding and carry.

FAKE LABOR
PRESS BODY

Washington.-"Th is no record
of the allied labor press association
of Boston, Mass" says Chester M.
Wright, director, A. F. of L. informa
tion and publicity service, writing to
a Lacrosse, Wis, trade unionist.
Persons doing business under any
name other than their own in Massa-
chusetts must register the name of
their company either at the state
house or at the city hall in Boston"
says the publicity director. "The
name of the allied labor press asso-
citation is not registered. Apparently
this indicates that no such organiza-
tion is doing business in Massachu-
setts. Labor men in Boston know
nothing of any such organization The
assumption is that repres entatives of
| this concern give Boston as a main
| office address while they are working
in the west. If they were working in
Boston they would give some other
city as their main office address.
"It is clear that whatever may be
the character of the allied labor press
association it is not an organization
working for the benefit of labor and
| it is making misrepresentation
about its place of business. If il
makes misrepresentation in this i'm
portant particular it may be assumed
fairly that it makes misrepresenta-
tions about other matters"

BOYS ARE SHANGHAI
ED

Toledo, Ohio.-Police officials of
this city and of Cleveland are on the
trail of a gang that has shanghaied
high school and college boys from
the central states. Police officials
found one boy, whose home is in
Cleveland, working under guard in the
engine room of ship in this harbor
1t is stated that the boys are enticed
on certain ships by officers who then
swindle them out of their wages.
This swindling is easy because of
the anti-union policy of the Lake Car
riers' Association, which is controlled
by the steel trust through the many
boats owned by the Pittsburgh Steam
ship Company. During the war a
government board ordered the associa,
tion to desist from forcing seamen tc
carry passbooks in which contained
their photo, measurements and where
formerly employed. Since then this
''hell fare" plan has been re-establish
ed.

HERRIN'S GUARD
BLAMED

Marion, Ill.-A hidden machine gun
and high-powered rifles manned by
mine guards killed the first man, an
unarmed union miner, slain during
the Herrin outbreak, witnesses for
the defense testified at the Herrin
riots trial.
There was no trouble from April I,
when the Southern Illinois Coal Com
pany shut down, until June Is, when
the guards were imported, witnesses
said.
The mine guards were accused of
holding up, assaulting and robbing
persons passing near the mine on the
public road. Two witnesses swore
they had seen the guards place a gun
in position on top of the mine dump
and conceal it behind clump Of
bushes They testified that two or
three shots were fired from this gun
before they heard any shots fired
| from outside the mine.
Lucien Tucker testified that G. K
Mcdowell, superintendent of the mine
told him: Were going to work it if
we have to work it in blood" Tucker
said Mcdowell then showed him two
rapid fire rifles which worked from
the hip, a reel" gun operated on q
tripod, and about a ton of ammuni-
tion.
Ed Crenshaw said that after the
shooting from the mine in the after
noon he saw the body of Jordy Hen
derson, the first of three union min
ers killed, lying near his home hall
a mile from the pit. He swore that
Henderson was unarmed.
The state objected to much of the
testimony relating to the activities Of
the armed guards prior to the out
break, but was overruled by Judge
Hartwell, who declared that the tes
timony was admitted not in justifi
cation of the slayings, but as miti
eating circumstances.

stitutions, not a penny OF which had
been lost to any depnsitor. He stated
that more than 100000 Ohioans were
now using these institutions as places
of safety for their savings because Of
the record for security that these in
stitutions have built up during the
last 80 years.
State officials believe that ruthless
spending, reckless investment and un-
wise speculation has been greatly cur
tailed In Ohio during the last year.
The failure of many speculative con-
Germs have caused the people to stop
and think and, as result much
money is now finding its way into To-
cal financial institutions, so that funds
which heretofore were going into wild
cat schemes are now being kept at
home for the development of the in
dividual community Despite the fact
that depositors in building and loan
institutions in Ohio have not lost a
penny in the last decade, the recent
legislature has just enacted a law
which makes these institutions more
secure than ever, SO that now they
are practically loss-proof, according to
leaders in the building and loan bust
ness

GOVERNOR DEMANDS
PROBE INTO PEONAGE

Bismarck, N. Dak.-Governor Mes
tos has reiterated his demand for an
investigation by Florida authorities
of the death of Martin Tabert, this
state, who is alleged to be a victim
of the "peonage" system in Florida
lumber camp and was beaten to
death. Talbert, a mere boy, was ar
rested for stealing ride on rail-
road train. He was sentenced to jail
for 80 days and was then 'leased" to

nHIOANS have suffered loss Of
" $1O0 900, 900 through the purchase
OF worthless investments or securities
that have deteriorated in value dur
ing the last few years, according TO
estimates just made by various state
officials This loss has been proper
tionately spread over every county in
the state, none escaping.
In connection with this loss, it was
recently pointed out by Director of
Commerce Hoover that Ohioans still
need 10000 homes to house everyone
properly in the Buckeye state. II the
money that has been lost in worthless
investments during the last few years
had been put into new homes, rents
in Ohio would now be back to pre-
war figures and the housing shortage
would be materially alleviated, accord
ing to James A. Devine, Secretary of
the Ohio Building and Loan Associa-
tion League. In a recent address in
Columbus, he pointed out that, while
the people of Ohio had been losing
500, 100000 through worthless invest
ments, other Ohioans, with an idea
for safe and sane saving, had placed

the peoples heritage attracts no at
tention from those who continually
lecture workers on the need for eff
cheney.
The anarchy and waste that is the
rule in these oil fields is indicated by
a report by Supervisor COLLEEN, who
says:
"Thus the spectacle of congested oil
derricks, gushers gesticulating and
varicating stock jobbers, open
mouthed suckers, and inexperienced
operators, all pyramided as a danger
Gus load upon the serious, solid busi-
ness of petroleum production, is ami

invaluable resource to our present

by a proclamation Of the District Com
missioners. We have made much prog

ward animals. The best OF US help
them and spare them suffering where
we can. There are organizations Of
men and women who take the part Of
animals against cruel masters and
cruel pOn.owners Of animals, and these
organizations have grown in recent
years and are growing. They will keep
on growing. They have done much
good for animals and much good for
men in putting into them a sense Of
kindness toward those creatures that
SO much depend upon us. They are
doing much for the education of men,
and they are entitled to the good will
and more substantial support Of kind
