We feel, as a National bank, and
having so many important documents
to be made of record with the county
recorder, that it would be unwise at
this time to consider the election to
your office of a new and possibly in
experienced person. Owing to the
fact that you are so familiar with the
records in this very important office
in our county.
Hoping to see you succeed yourself
in this office for the coming term, we
are,

WINBERGS return FROM
EASTERN TRIP

Mr.. and Mrs. A. Winberg and two
sons have returned after four weeks
extended tour of the east, visiting rel
atives in Montana, Dakota, Minneso-
ia and Wisconsin. They also visited
Mr.. Winberg's twin sister at Oslo,
Minnesota, whom he had not seen for
seighteen years.
Mr.. Winberg was a delegate to the
Grand Lodge convention of the Sons
Of Norway at Racine, Wis. After the
convention ne went to Chicago to visit
the new home of the Bakery and Con-
fectionery Workers International
union. He reports the home model
building that every member ought to
feel proud of. It houses all the diff
ferent offices of the International
and also has it's own printing plant in
which the Bakers Journal is printed,
besides the printing of millions of
bread labels used all over the United
States, and stationery for office use.,
The plant has the latest type of ma
chinery and its work is done under the
most sanitary conditions. The offices
and records are kept in the most up
to-date and systematic way, and is a
credit to the international officers.
While in Illinois Mr.. Winberg Wis
tied Mooseheart, the headquarters of
the Loyal Order of Moose, and the
home of its orphans. It is located
46 miles west of Chicago on the
Northwestern railway, and is no doubt
the most wonderful institution of its
kind in America. At the present time
over 1900 children are cared for, ev-
cry child being given the best of
care and education and taught trade
in order that they may be able to
take care of themselves when gradu-
ated from the home.
After leaving Mooseheart Mr.. Win
berg returned to Chicago for two days.
He reports business conditions good
there and everybody optimistic for the
future. In Milwaukee, St.. Paul and
Minneapolis things were rather slow,
but the crops in Minnesota and the
Dakotas look promising and the far
mers are very much pleased over the
increase in price on wheat and other
farm products,
"In sizing up the country on our
way back" said Mr.. Winberg, 1--WE
came to the conclusion that after all
there siS no place like the evergreen
state Of Washington"

1928 the industrialists became more
and more insistent that longer hours
of work would be necessary If indus
tufial opeFHtions were to continue
possible. Added force was given to
the contentious by the prevailing de-
moralization Of industry, extreme
difficulty in securing raw materials,
credit shortage, and similar obstacles.
Labor fought bitterly against this
of one Of the chief benefits
which the working classes had gained
from the war. However, the large
numbers of unemployed weakened
the resistance of the workers and the
decree of December 81, 1928, pro-
on January 1, 1924, and
granting numerous exceptions to the
B-hour day, was the result.
"Thus in a number of branches in
the leading printing, metallurgical,
chemical and textile industries, prac-
tically prewar working hours are
again in force"

MRS. KING BACK FROM
EXTENDED 6 WEEK TRIP

Mr.. and Mrs. King and daughter,
Doris, and Mrs. A. L. Snyder, Mrs.
Kings mother, returned last Sunday
from their six weeks trip to Califor-
MIA. They motored down by the
Coast route and came back by the in
land route, through Bakersfield,

They visited Mr.. Kings brother,
Carl c. King, in Venice and Mrs.
Kings sister at San BernardinO.
They took many side trips in the re-
gion of Los Angeles to the parks and
beaches, and made tour of the CO.
lumbia highway before leaving Port
land.
Mrs. King, as secretary of the Gull
mary Workers was interested in the
superior accommodations for tourists
cooking in the various tourist camps
of California. She reports that gas
stoves are universally used, and that
shower baths, rest rooms, commissa-
ries, entertainment halls and other
features are far ahead of this sec
ton.

UNEMPLOYMENT KILLING.
GERMAN EICHT-ADUR DAY.
By international Labor News Service

By international Labor News Service
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. a.
The 6-hOur workday in Germany is
disappearing.
This is the conclusion of R. C. Mil
Ter, assistant chief of the Western
European division of the United
States department of commerce. Mr..
Miller points out that the German
workers have waged hard fight for
the 8-hour day, but that unemploy-
ment has weakened their resistance
and they have been forced to give
up the shorter workday.
"By DEGREES of November 1898,
and March 18, 1919, the S-hour day
was established in Germany" says
Mr.. Miller, who continues:
Although attended by the usual
objections on the part of industry, the
8-hour day came into general exist
ence and encountered little more
than ordinary resistance. However,

OLD AGE PENSION ACT
OUTLAWED BY COURT

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 14.-The
old-age pension act of 1923 has been
declared unconstitutional by the
Dauphin county court. at conflicts
with the organic law of the state"
said Judge Hargest.
The act provided for the payment
of 81 day to persons over 20 years
of age who possesses property valued
at less than $4,000.
Last year the state appropriated
$4,000 to inaugurate the system,
but this was sufficient only for the
work of the commission, and next
years legislature was to be asked for
sufficient funds to meet the require
ments of the act.

SKAGGS UNITED STORES
LOCATE NO lS7 HERE

Skaggs United Stores have opened
Store No. 1877 in Aberdeen on Wish
kah street. There ara 21e stores n
this chain store system, with e1h aver
age Of one q week being opened in
some one of the nine states in which
they operate.
You can always tell a Skaggs
store by the color Of it's front-blue
for the states Of Oregon, Washington,
Idaho and Montana; orange for Cal
ifornia, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming.
The first store was started less than
eight and One-half years ago, and the
increasing popularity is due to the
manner of display used as much as
to the advantage in price the buying
in large quantities offers.
L.. K. Sitton, manager of the Aber-
deem store, moved his family here
from Enterprise, Ore. F. o. Burns,
district manager, whose work is the
instituting of new stores, has gone to
Olympia, where he will open the first
store in that section Saturday.
Preparations are now under way
to open one in Hoquiam some time
next week.
"We are particularly interested
in the working man and any attempt
to lower his living COSTS" said Mr..
Sitton. "The Skaggs stores offer him,
we believe, a decided advantage in
this respect, and while ours is cash
market, yet we add the free delivery
feature also"

LABOR DAY EVENING
DANCE SLATED FOR
HSP AUDITORIUM

Labor will stage a monster dance
in the H. & P. Auditorium as it's part
of Labor Day festivities, the commit
tee from the Aberdeen Central La
Dor Council having the matter in
charge announces.
The Washington State Federation
of Labor convention will be held here
next July, and one Of the problems
before labor organizations will be the
raising of an entertainment fund. The
Labor Day dance will be the first of
a series of entertainments the pro-
ceeds of which will be devoted wholly
to this purpose. For this reason the
committee after canvassing several
propositions decided in favor of the
Auditorium. Tickets will be sold
among the various union organiza-
tions and friends beforehand, and a
record-breaking crowd is expected to
go through the gates the evening of
the affair. The evening dance only
will be given.
1t is not yet definitely decided
whether a picnic and sports program
will be held earlier in the day. There
will be no parade. In former years it
has been the custom to make full
day of the celebration with races in
the forenoon, picnic dinner at noon
and dancing afternoon and evening,
but suitable place not being avail
able this year and the necessity of
raising convention funds apparent,
it was thought best to concentrate
upon a single dance.
1t is needless to say that the COM
mittee will secure as usual the pep
piest music on the Harbor for the
occasion.

10 Old Bandit
Directs Activities of
Gang From Dugout

From a hole dug under the
porch Of an empty house the actiy-
tiles of a Miles City bandit have
been discovered. The leader who
made the hole his home, is under
arrest and has divulged the names
of his band members. He is 10
years of age and the others Of his
gang range in age from s to 8.
The particular activity of the band
that resulted in the arrest of the
leader was the looting of the con-
tribution box in the Catholic church
on a recent Sunday afternoon. The
sum of $1.65 vas taken.
According to Sheriff Hi Farnum

on the lads for some time, the boys
are alleged to have been stealing var
ious articles over the city for the last
six months, their biggest thefts be-
ing those of automobile tires, it is

Is Frank Kubey, a trapper who
disappeared in the Storm creek
country in the Lo1o forest in the
winter of 1911-12 still alive? That
is the question that is facing old
time trappers in the MissouIa sec
ton as a result of a story which
was brought out of the White
Sand creek country recently.
According to the story, the cook
at the White Sand trail construction
camp reported to his companions that
he had just seen a wild man.. The
cook evidently vas frightened by
some experience he had had, mem
bers of the gang asserted, for when
they arrived at the camp their cook
was white as a sheet and sick.
The incident occurred two or three
weeks ago when the cook looked out
back of the ~incinerator pit and saw
a nude man crouching over it scrap
ing cans to one side, STOPPING to
peer into the pit, and then scraping
some more. The cook called out:
"Come here!"
Disappears In Forest.
The fellow stood up, looked queer
ly at the cook for a moment and then
ran off into the woods. The de-
scription was that the man was stark
naked. He had a bushy white beard
and long white hair. In fact the
cook said only his eyes could be
seen clearly. AS the creature ran
away, the cook claims he could see
the powerful muscles of the runners
back and that his skin had the deep
tan that only comes from long x
posture to the elements.
Members of the camp are report
ed to have grilled the cook long and
harshly over the matter, but the story

creek for him three days. He didn'1
return. We decided that he had
been killed and turned back. While
we were waiting at the creek, the
boys located a big grizzly. A fight
was on. The bear had a wonderful
constitution. We put 148 bullets in
to him. A lot of the boys were hurt
in the set-to with old Bruin. AS he
rolled over out of the brush after the
last musket shot, the darkey rushed
up to him and fired his revolver into
the bears head.

for that stream is Elk river because
that is the name by which it was

able to scrape together enough to

rates any longer" he said to a old
friend. "Just when I was feeling
pretty blue, a short, stocky young
looking fellow came up to me and
said: I'D like to shake hands, When
he dropped my hand he left a SIS
bill in it. I asked his name. He
told me. I knew a little kid by that
name on Indian creek about 40 years
ago. I told him. The man looked
up sharply and asked me, What's
your name?' I told him. I'm the
kid you knew on Indian creek he
answered me, and rolled off a string
of names of the old-timers who were
with me that year. The kid is Otto
Schoenfeldt, who is gold mining at
Sheridan.

spirit of helping the fellow that needs
it, whether he knows him or not.
