Parading themselves as young girls to

Telephone Ruse Effective.
A telephone ruse is one of the most
effective employed by the Chinese. A
Japanese speaking Chinese officer taps
q Japanese telephone line and informs
the headquarters at "A" that garrison
at b" is desperately in need of REIN
forcements. When the reinforcements
try to march from "a. to b" they are
held up by demolished bridge and
ambushed. Shansi guerrillas claim from
200 to 1000 japanese victims each time
they use this trick.
Most Gilbert and Sullivanish" of the
guerrillas' strategems is their manner of
connivance with the so-called traitor
armies bands nominally help
ing the Japanese. Thirty thousand of
these Chinese mercenaries are scattered
throughout Hopei and Shansi.

the manner of this collision when 300
Japanese, assisted by 500 mercenaries,
occupied the City of Ankuo after "a
hour battle. This looked like a serious
defeat for the guerrillas, until I was

THAT 6Oc PER MEMBER

Several meetings ago the officers
and delegates of the Cooperative
Trades and Labor Council discussed
at some length the delinquent taxes
which the central body is indebted to
the county treasurer.
Efforts have been made with dances
and Labor Day picnics each year for
the purpose of securing enough funds
to pay the back taxes. The dances
and the picnics have been successful
in making some money, but not enough
to pay all the tax debt. The central
body finally appealed to the affiliated
unions to try and have them urge their
members to pay the 60 cents for the
purpose Of cleaning up the debt.
Some of the affiliated locals have
responded nobly and paid for their
members and turned the checks over
to the council secretary treasurer. A
few of the locals they say cannot give
donation for their members on ac-
count of their international laws for
bidding it, but some of their members
have given the amount personally and
out of their own pockets.
Some of the locals are still to be
heard from and it is hoped by the of
ficers and members of the Co-opera-
tive Trades and Labor Council that
they take favorable action, thereby
assisting the council and themselves
out of the tax debt.
The organizations meeting in the
Labor Temple all pay rent, but it is
not near enough to pay taxes, insur-
ance, coal, light, repairs, janitor serv-
ice and many other necessary costs to
keep the Labor Temple going.
Every sixty cents (60c) of this
money paid into the councils treasury
will be used to pay the back tax debt
and for no other purpose.
The Cooperative Trades and Labor
Council does not owe one dime of any
sort on the Labor Temple property
and all members of the organizations
meeting there should know this.
It's wonderful meeting place and
your 60c will do a great deal in elm
mating the balance of the tax debt,

Today, the American baking indus
try is triumph of science and inven-
ton. The American housewife knows
that the bread she buys is uniform in
quality, made of the finest ingredi-
ents, and baked under spotless condi-
tions which could not be improved
upon in her own home.
But the bakers are not content to
rest on their laurels. They are still
working to improve present products,
develop new products-exerting every
effort so that Americas daily bread
may always be, as it is now, the best
bread in the world.
