CANADIANS PUZZLED WITH
 UNUSUALLY MILD WEATHER

MONTREAL Jan. 9.-At the same time that American newspapers were wiring their Canadian correspondents today for theories on the extraordin ary mildness of the weather, Canadian newspapers were telegraphing Ameri- can meteorological experts asking for lowing:
 Pussy willows out.
 Lilacs blooming
 Duck and geese on sloughs and but terflies captured at Edmonton, Alta
 oGlfers on Winnipeg links with the mercury at A above zero.
 Ripe strawberries picked at Strat ford, Ont.
 Lumbermen feeding idle horses in i Northern Ontario woods unable to haul logs because of lack of snow. Farmers doing winter blowing in Northern Alberta.
 Christmas trade suffering keenly in Montreal and Toronto because a warm sun melted what little Yuletide envt ronment feeble snow had deposited last week. All these things in face of the fact that usually the ground is coy cred with snow at this season with the temperature away below zero.
 Nor are the humans the only living creatures who are wondering where Rudyard Kipling got his Lady of the Shows stuff.
 So far as Quebec is concerned war dens declare that unless the wildness continues for some weeks, the game and birds will not suffer much. Par l fridge is perhaps the only bird thai will lsutfer at all, dampness being its chief enemy and usually resulting il the bird contracting diseases and dy ing off.

Woodrow Wilson's caustic criticism of his successor does not show good taste. For eight years MT. Wilson had control of the nations affairs, and was in fact a dictator. The muddle made in his administration will affect many generations yet to come. It was the most colossal bungling of national affairs and finances in the history oi the country.

Busy Preparing Exhibit
For MINI. State Fair.
Organization Started by Mrs. J. c. MeCOn.
will Promises TO Flourish and be Of
Great Aid to ChlppsWas.

The organization known as the
Chippewa Womens Guild, and
which was started here last June
by Mrs. j. G. McConvill, gives
every promise of even surprising
the expectations of that worthy
woman when she was instrumental
in its organization. The Guild
now boasts some fifty members
and is growing fast. For the past
month the members have been
busy preparing an exhibit of In
dian handicraft for the State Fair.
This exhibit will consist of rugs,
bead work. embroidery of all
kinds, baskets, and many other
articles in the making of which
the Indian people excel. Through
the efforts Of Mrs McConvill a
booth has been secured for the
Indian exhibit at the State Fair
The articles will be for sale, and
as there is great demand at all
times for the Indian handiwork it
will! not be long before those en-
gagged in producing it will be
reap,ng their reward in the way
of dollars and cents for their
efforts.
The Guild meets on Wednesday
of each week and are very busy
with their work. All Chippewa
women are urged to jnin and help
along the good work. A record
of all articles made and turned in
for sale is kept and the person
who made them will receive the
benefit in cash as soon as the
articles are sold. The movement
is deserving one and should re
ceive the hearty support of all.

The Indian boy as Heyeres had
been she'll shocked" Griggs said.
Il remember having seen him
running around one of the hotels
| remember particularly the pecu.
liar swagger due to his lameness.
Another incident | recall, 10
which Frazier easily may have
figured, occurred Aug. Z, 1918, on
the St. Mihiel salient. We went
over the top at 3:45 a. M, and
smashed plumb into a barrage in
front of Trench No. 9. An Indian
boy out of the trench seemed tt,
be blown to pieces by an ash can
which burst almost Oh top of him.
But when the smoke cleared away
| saw he was not hurt. but had
suffered shell shock, and strrted to
run. He ran three and a hall
miles through the back lines be
fore he was stopped and sent to a
hospital.
II am convinced the man is
Arthur Frazier. 1t is easy for me
to understand how his records
were lost. We got to the base
hospital at Heyeres on Aug. 26,
1918, and the hospital unit didn't
show up for three days.
In that time things got in a
fearsome mess. Nobody knew
what to do, and l doubt if the
tangle ever got straightend out.

BUSINESS MEN URGED
TO USE u s VESSELS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 49,
The United States Shipping Boards
appeal to business men to cease u.s.
ing foreign ships and patronize
American vessels reveals the insin-
cerity of these alleged friends of an
American merchant marine.
It is stated that in the last 10 years
the seagoing trade Of the United
States amounted to s70,O0O,0O0, most
of which has been carried BY foreign-
ers while American ships are rotting
at their anchorage.
While deploring the decline Of
Americas merchant marine, these
business men patronize foreign com-
paaies in which they are often in
terested. To cloak their unpatriotic
acts they denounce the La Toilette
seamen's act and mourn for a return
of the days when the American boy
will return to the sea.
These interests do not want the
American boy. This is proven by con-
ditions in the eoastwise trade where
American ships have q monopoly. This
trade is protected for American bust
ness men, but not for American sea-
men. In many instances the latter
have been driven out of the coastwise
trade by the cheapest labor in the
world. Here the American business
man does not face competition. He
has clear field te pay wages that
will attract the American boy, but
this he does not do.
During the late war, when consid-
erations other than cheapness deter
mined the manning of Americas mer-
chant fleet on the seven seas, there
was no difficulty in finding American
boys. When the war ended the native
drifted back to the farm. The ship
owners tactics are responsible for
this change. With them, nativity and
nationality of their crew was not con-
sidered. They wanted cheap crews
and it made no difference whether the
color was yellow, black or white.

CLOAKMAKERS. STRIKE
FORCES NEW STANDARD

BOSTON, Sept. 1s.-After an
eight-days' strike organized cloak
makers won a complete victory over
small anti-union shops and jobbers in
this city. The recognized cloak man
ufacturers accepted the agreement
which places this industry on a new
basis.
The principal clauses of the new
agreement CALL for the registration
of contractors by the jobbers; mini
mum of six machines manned by six
operators to a shop; the unemploy-
ment insurance fund, conducted by
both employers and employed; a sani-
tary union label; an impartial chair
man for the local trade; equal distri-
button of work among all contractors;
no discharge of contractors during
the season without just cause and an
obligation placed upon the contractors
not to purchase non-union made gar
ments within this state. In case of q
strike, notification to the jobber by
the union will be considered sufficient
for the jobber to cease dealing with
the struck concern.

ONLY ONE BONA
FIDE IA TOILETTE
TICKET IN STATE

An official statement by John E..
Ballaine, La Toilette state manager
Tor progressive party ticket, is as fol-
lows:
There is only one authorized La
Toilette Wheeler ticket in the field
in the state Of Washington. It is the
ticket headed, "The Progressive
Party" and carries seven candidates
for presidential electors = nothing
more. The progressive party has no
state ticket in the field, and is off,
cially supporting no state ticket or
any part Of any state ticket. We are
working solely in support of the pro-
gressive party ticket which carries
the seven La Toilette Wheeler candi-
dates for presidential electors.
The ticket filed under the name of
'The La Toilette Independent Pro-
gressive Party" by people unknown
to the official state committee of the
progressive party, is a fraud on it's
face. It was clearly the work of
dishonest republican politicians in an
attempt to confuse the voters at the
polls. It is sample of the kind of
dishonesty that has scandalized so
many departments of the government
under. dishonest politicians, and has
made the La Toilette Wheeler candi-
dacies necessary and inevitable. Pol
iticians who resort to dishonesty Of
this kind, in placing a fake ticket in
the field under misleading name to
deceive voters, are of the Fall and
Daugherty type, who accept bribes in
Office to betray the public interests.
The La Toilette Wheeler ticket in
this state under the heading 1.-THE
Progressive Party" stands for clean
methods in campaigns, as it stands
for honesty in public office.
Our official efforts are directed
solely in this state to the election of
the La Toilette Wheeler electors on
the only authorized and recognized
Wheeler-La Toilette ticket, headed
'The Progressive Party"

LADY BARRIERS WIN
ADMITTANCE FIGHT

mans persistence when after six hours
Of heated argument delegates to the

admit women to membership in the

Members of the union, among the
last of such organizations to Withstand

all trades and walks of life, surrend-
cred to the insistence Of the women's
rights champions only after long de-
bate. The committee on constitutional
amendments reported favofably on the
proposal to admit women to member
ship az the opening of the morning
session. It was not until late, in the
afternoon, however, just before the
days session ended, that the matter
finally was decided.
The result of fifteen years OF con-
tinual insistence, however, finally
made itself felt, and when, nearly six
hours after the amendment finally
was put before the house, it came up
for vote and was passed by large
majority, in an oral vote. 4f
In their defeat, however, opponents
of the action professed to see in it a
ray Of hope for harassed followers Of
their trade, some of whom, they claim,
are being driven almost to distraction
by the present rush of women to the
barber chair.
Those who were bitter in opposition
to the action hopefully predict that
women will chose to patronize shops
run by women BARRIERS. Or if not,
if the bobbed-hair flappers refuse to
desert her male barber for feminine
one, maybe then, the disgruntled ones
point out, the men may flock TO the
