next SPRING
SUIT WILL BE HIGHER
BY LELAND OLDS
Federated Press Industrial Editor.

Your next years suit is going to
cost you a good bit more than it cost
this spring. Perhaps prices will be SO
high that you viii have to make the
old suit do another year. That's
what the expert budget makers mean
when they include only onethird of a
suit a year in a wage earner's budget.
You VIII probably cuss the increase,
but be sure YOU don't follow the lead
of President Wood Of the American
Woolen Trust and blame it on the 1212
per cent increase he gave his employees
To keen them on the Job last spring.
Wood has made coed his threat. lie
has announced the prices for serges
and other wO0len goods for next
springs wear. And the prices are
about 8 per cent higher than those OF
six months ago and Is per cent higher
than those of q year ago. DO the
/ wage increases warrant such an m
crease in price?
Take a standard serge, No. 1892 II
the lingo of the trade. Last year
price was $3.50 q, yard. Six months
ago the price was $2.6772. The new
/ price is S2.871a a yard That's an IN
crease of 371b cents in a year and y
cents since February.
The increased pay envelope Of th'
wage Garner was responsible for les
than 5 cents of this increase in th'
cost of his product. The whole laboo
cost of making yard of this goods i
less than 80 cents and the increase Il
rates was only 1919 per cent.
In other words the increase in pric
charged by the trust since a year ag
is nearly s times the increase IN Wag

MOE, And PI.IVEN
FIGHT TO A DRAW

At the Brush Lake Picnic one of
the main features Of the celebration
was the boxing match between Ed Moe
and Perry Pliven.
The match was a scream from start
TO finish. Both boxers being willing
mixers and equally scienced. Moe had
it on his opOpnent in weight, but
what Bliven lost in weight he made
up in speed The fight went the full
eight rounds and at the end of the
fight both men were going strong.
In the eighth and final round each
opponent landed fairly in the solar
plexus and about the same time and
for a time held each other up until
they got their wind and they were at
it again.
The fight was a no decision affair
and both fighters drew the admiration
of their followers and a draw was the
popular decision of the fans.
No doubt these two battlers will
meet again in the future and when
they do everyone who attends will see
battle rOyal.

Lars Hansen, well known farmer of
the Dooley precinct was brought into
Plentywood Monday, suffering from
arrangement of the mind.
Mr.. Hansen is we'll known in the
Dooley country, having at one time

hospital where a silver plate was put
in his head to protect his brain from
injury. At that time the Kenmare
doctors are said not to have given
much hope for his recovery, but until
the past few months when Mr.. Hansen
complained of not feeling well, he had
been perfectly normal.

FIRE DAMAGES
KOIKE HOUSE
Blaze Supposed to Have Started from
Electric Flat Iron From Which the
Current Had Not Been Shut Of
No One Home at Time of Fire.

Last Thursday evening about nine
o'clock the general pOpulace of Plen-
tywood were stirred into action by
the call of the fire siren.
The chemical engine was on its way
to the Koike home in the east part of
the city almost Immediately with the
first call of the siren and upon arriv-
ing it was discovered that the whole
back of the house was in flames and
it seemed for a while that the flames
extended through the entire interior
of the structure, but upon investiga-
tiOn after the chemicals had been
played on the flames it was found that
only the back portion of the house
was the victim of the flames.
At the time of the fire no one was
at home, but in the afternoon large
amount of ironing had been done in
the enclosed porch on the back of the
house and it is thought that upon fin
ishing the work the electric fiat iror
was left with the electric current still
passing through it, which eventually
caused a flame with the above mem
| toned results.
While the damage to the building
was considerable, the loss through
smoke and water will be even great
er, as Mr.. Koike's beautiful home was
furnished in a most elaborate style
Mr.. Koike is fortunate in the fac
that the loss is practically covered b!
insurance.
The fire laddies did good work anC
it was through their fast and eficien
work that the whole building was saw
ed from destruction by the hungr!
