Farmer-Labor Party
Holds State Meeting

II the communists and radical farm.
er-laborltes were at all concerned
about party consistency they would
find themselves in something of a
jackpot through the action of their
recent state convention in Seattle
says story in the Portland Ore.
gonian. The convention was not well
attended; but self-appointed delegates
We're on hand from nearly every Sec
ton of the state, so that geographic
ally it was fairly representative Of
the body of radical sentiment. The
st. Paul platform of internationalism
and communism was swallow d
whole.
On state issues, however, marked
variations Of opinion were declared in
the Seattle convention. The Bone
"free-power" bill, to go on the ballot
in November as Initiative Measure
No. So, and designed for the exclu-
sive benefit of the Seattle and Ia
coma municipal power projects, was
opposed by the few farmer delegates
in the farmer-labor convention, and
the platform committee refused to in
dorse the Bone bill.
On the second day of the conven-
tion Homer T. Bone, sponsor of the
bill, and member Of the farmer-labor
party, secured the privilege of speak
ing. Under his persuasion the con-
vention reversed itself and gave his
bill it's Endorsement. Bone was the
farmer-labor candidate for congress
in 1920, and farmer-labor represen-
tative in the 1923 legislative session.
So far this year he has refused to
head the farmer-labor state ticket as
a candidate for governor. But he
wanted the radical Endorsement Of his
power bill, and he got it.
This happens to be exactly contrary
to the wishes Of William Bouck of
Sedro-W oolley, radical ex-master Of
the State Grange, and now the can
didate Of the farmer-labor party for
vice-president of the United States.
Bouck has been violently opposed to
the Bone bill, which he denounced at
an Everett conference of the Wash
ington Progressive Farmers League
as designed "to give Seattle and Ia
coma all the meat and leave the farm
ers nothing but the bone"
Bouck declares that not farmer in
the state has had any voice in the
preparation of the Bone bill, which
was devised and drafted by the big
city politicians. In spite Of his oppo-
sition, and the opposition of the farm
err delegates to the recent state con-
vention, the radical labor delegates Of
Seattle and Tacoma, under the lead
ership of Bone, gave the Bone bill
the party's official sanction.
In any other political party such
conflict of opinion would invite revolt.
But the farmer-laborites, according to
their platform, are so much concerned
about bolshevist Russia, the I. w. w,
the release of the men imprisoned for
the Centralia Armistice Day murders,
the one big union and communism In
general, that the row over the Bone
bill may not weigh very heavily on
their minds.

CHINESE BRIDE WEARS
GOWN YEAR IN MAKING

LOS ANGELES, Sept. A wed.
ding dress which took a year to
create was worn by Miss Helen
Lee, member of an old Chinese fam
lily here, at her marriage to Charles
Kong Woo. The brides trousseau
was made entirely by hand in
Shantung, China, each piece being
heavily decorated.
The gown is made of the finest
silk and linen. Despite the elab-
crate Chinese garments, the wed.
ding was American in every detail.
The bridal gown was brought to
this country by courier, as it's value
could not be estimated.

0FFURN|TURE
WAS CHEST
In Its Original Form It Served
Every Conceivable
Purpose

All furniture, it is said, has been
evolved from the chest, which in
It's original form was used for every
conceivable purpose. It was found
In the houses Of the poor and Of
the rich, in court, In church, and In
hali. Placed against the walls, or
elsewhere, it served as a scat OK
wardrobe, bench or settle, for chairs
were not known until the beginning
OF the fourteenth century.
Made Of cypress, cedar. or ebony,
it was used by the Italian maiden
to store away the linen which she
accumulated against her bridal, and
which was the prototype Of tho
modern article which has come to
serve a similar purpose.
Made Of old oak, clampad with
iron, it was used as a treasure or
travelling chest by kings and mobiles.
and it was used in churches to
store rich vestments, silver, and
ESIlCS u BaInLB.
The earliest mention Of chest
in history is found in the story Of
the Chest Of Kypselos," which was
seen at Olympia in the second CEN
fury AID. and around which many
legends are woven.
It was not until the tenth cen
fury that the chest is first men
toned as an article of domestic
furniture, and the chest served as
packing box, trunk. or strong
box, in which the worldly posses
sions Of the household in the line
Of fine linens and woolens, spun by
the women Of the household, were
stored.
From this primitive form was
evolved the bench or settle with
panel back and arms at the ends:
the high-backed chair with box-seat
used for storage purposes: the dress
ing table OF the seventh century,
with drawers; and the high chest
OF drawers. the chiffonier and the
wardrobe.
There are many varieties of the
chest itself, each having its own
peculiar name. In its first form
1t was little more than a strong
box with a lock, made of boards
pegged together. and clamped and
bound with iron; the corner pieces
and hinges often deliberately
wrought by the artist-craftsman
This was known as a Golfer"
trusting chest" or a Bride VAIN
the latter term being applied in
northern countries to the marriage
Golfer.
Then there were the "credence,"
sort of combination Of table and
cupboard, the prototype Of the
modern buffet, or sideboard; the
food lockers or dole cupboards,"
used during the Middle Ages; the
"armoirc" or wardrobe; the court
cupboard" introduced during the
reign of Queen Elizabeth; and the
cabinet.
Most of the oid chests were
made Of oak, which was univers-
ally used Throughout Europe. AS
the artisans grew in skill, the
chests were embellished more and
more, with most elaborate carvings.
A description of the chests of
different countries will be given in
mother chapter.
