Economy Contest On
Five Prizes Offered For Waste
Reduction
Help reduce our wastel

Help reduce our wastel
A fat man may use dumb-bells to
reduce his waist, but dumb-bells in
crease ours!
Probably it is not SO much the
dumb-bells as the thoughtless folk
who let our weekly waste-basket
carry away three thousand dollars.
It's just like feeding dollar bills to
the old boilers every day!
The worst of it is, and the best of
it is, that we can stop most of it if
we will be careful, We could save
five hundred dollars every week, and
we are going to get the habit!
There's a contest on Haven't
you noticed your foreman looking
at your scrap pile dozen times a
day? He's on his toes and he'll be
on yours, too, if you don't save that
lining out flat so that he can prove
to X. B. White that it was cut
crooked.
There are five prizes up--Choice
of box of cigars, five pounds of
Page & Shaw's, or two cartons of
your favorite coffin-nails for the
foreman of the winning departments,
and candy, cigars and cigarettes for
everybody in the department who
helpt him win it.

improvement, or reduction in waste
between now and the Christmas
shutdown. (Odds 5-3 on Light Max

The second prize is for the lowest
money waste, regardless of age,
height, weight or previous condition
of servitude.
The third prize goes to the de-
partment with the lowest percent
age of avoidable waste (God help
the department that loses that oneD
Cleanliness is next to Godliness.
Three times during the three weeks
when you don't know anything about
it, and three times after you're thru
the weeks labors your department
will be given white glove inspec-
tion that will make your hair curll
The fifth and final is an individ-
ual affair The one who thinks of
the best useable slogan or suggest
ion for reducing waste will be in
smokes for the Holidays. Write
your idea down on paper and give
it to be X. B. White or to your fore
man, or tell it to him and make him
write it down for you.

So much is contest. So much is
to add little sport and interest and

unless we nip it now?
Meanwhile, your wife and kiddies
are planning on that box of candy!

ANDERSON REQUESTS
GRAND JURY DATA
Judge Reserves Decision on Plea
for Right to Inspect
Minutes.
By the Associated Pre- SIS.

| BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 2.-Judge Nc
Intyre of general sessions has re-
served decision on motion by Will
liam H. Anderson. superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League of New York,
for permission to inspect the minutes
of the grand jury which recently
handed down Ave indictments charg-
ing him with grand larceny, extortion
and forgery.
The motion was made in behalf of
Mr.. Anderson by counsel. former Gov
Charles S. Whitman. who character
ized the indictments as preposterous,
absurd and ridiculous, and declared
that his client was no more obliged
to tell the court what he did with the
mysterious s24.7o0 publicity fund
than his lawyer was to tell how much
money he spent on his baby's clothes.
Referring to the S24,700 which Mr..
Anderson said he had advanced from
his own pocket for unspecified pub
licity purposes and received back
from the league. Mr.. Whitman con-
tinued:
Anderson was not and is not un-
der any obligation to explain to the
district attorney or anybody else how
he spent the money. 1t is none of
the district attorneys business or
anybody else's business. The ques-
tion Is as to whether there was any
false representation made by him.
The league is satisfied. he spent it,"
Opposing efforts of Mr. Anderson
to inspect the minutes of the grand
jury. Acting District Attorney Pecora
said:
If Anderson gets possession he
will then come into court and offer
distorted evidence, manufactured by
himself in defense Of the crimes he is
charged with. That is why he wants

CHARGES LAKE SHIPS

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT. August 2.-The federal
government is expected to take up
with officials of Canada the charge
made by Earl j. Davis, United States
district attorney for the eastern
Michigan district, that passenger
steamers of Canadian registry are
taking on crowds of Detroiters,
steaming into Canadian waters and
there selling liquor to the thirsty ex-
Cursionists.
Attorney Davis filed the charge
with E. l.. Porterfield, assistant ma
tional prohibition commissioner with
headquarters at Toledo, and the lat
ter promised to call the matter to the
attention of officials at Washington
without delay. Davis refused to
name the steamers.
Mr. Davis Office took an unex-
pected turn yesterday in prosecuting
Edward Corbeil, charged with trans
porting liquor on the Detroit river,
when Corbeil was accused of violat-
ing the traffic act, rather than the
Nolstead law. He was convicted and
sentenced to thirteen months i'm
prisonment at Atlanta. Mr. Davis
explained that charging Carbeil with
transporting liquor without an i'm
porter,s permit, as required by the
tariff act. permitted imposition of a
heavier sentence than would have
been possible under the Nolstead law

Robert Mcconnell, an old time trapper and hunter of the Dawson district who recently returned to that city from the upper Klondike Valley brought in a freak fur of some animal which has not been classified by the trappers of Daweon. Some think the animal from which it was taken was an offshoot of the tiger family as the markings were exactly like those of the royal out law r India. The pelt measured SS inches in length and had an average width of eight inches. It was a tan color and had markings on the breast similar to those of a house cat. The animal weighed about 50 pounds.
