—To be Coot rased—
Cheap labor to the tryo may sug
gest cheap production: but the
ftoder.t of labor conditions and ia
dsmraal history has learned that
cheap .abor most often indicates a
high cost of production. This Is
well shown by shop records, where
the machinists averaged tZ.2% per
diem the com per piece was
while w'hen Use the average eam
;ngs were 15.74 Use cost per piece
dropped to >4 cents. Records of a
large manufacturer having factories
in Europe and America showed
that for a cact of too ra ._£* United
States the cos: ;n Sweden was 102.
its Germany S'"*?. in France ili, and
is Russia It was 133.

HOMSTEADER
IS BURNED
OXK lb BADLY Bl'N RED AND
lHEIR BOAT Is A
TOTAL WRECK
Hank Rosseli, with the gas- beat
Creel, arrived In town about 1 o'
clock today with Fred Berry am.
jack Kellcvfirg on board, the latter
seriously burned from a jsttoline
explosion which had wrecked their
gas boat at Ham Island this laora
mg.
The etc a left town last Friday
morning is a 14 foot gas boas with
a load of things which they were
moving down onto their homestead
sear the old custom house oa Mary
Island. When they arrived at the
sower end of Annette Island they
found the water too rough to cross
so they anchored at the old Indian
camp on the upper end of Ham. Isl
and. Y’esterday the weather still be
ing too rough, they decided to cache
their goods in the Indian cabin and
ow.e back to town and take another
lead dewn white they were wait
ing for the storm to moderate.
They spent the night in the In
dian cabin, and this morning Kel
. logs took a larterc. got in their
: small boat and went out to get the
lancer beat ready for the trip into
| town, leaving Berry or. the beach
bailing os* a large seta boat. Kel
logg opened the hatch and took
Just one step down into it when the
1 explosion occurred, completely de
f molishirg the cabin and throwing
Kellogg or. tie deck. Berry heard
the explosion a&d unable to see what
had become of Kellogg, plunged In
to the water to swim cat to the
wreck whkh was now on fire. Kel
logg however Jumped off and got in
| the small boat and' made it ashore.
Berry then took the little beat
and wen- oat. and after a hard fight
rr.ar.aeed to pot oat the fire after
which he attended to Kellogg as
best be could and loading hfe into
the row boot started to row into
town with Mm against the wind at'
tide. Fortunately after about two
stiles of disheartening work the
, Creel came along and picked tier:
up.
Mr. Berry explained the caus
•f the explosion, by saying that
they had an extra ear. of gasoline
In the cabin: the beat was very
light after they unloaded and tie
water pretty rough last night, so
that the j- 'Hob of he beat spilled
tie gasoline, and the cabin was
shut up so tightly that there was
-so escape for she vapor.
Dr. B. L. Myers who dressed
Xelleejrs bins pronounce? them,
very severe about the head &ni
•ace but no*, dangerous.
The wrecking of the cabin of the
boat is a serious loss to the boys
as they tad just gotten through fix
ing -it up as their means of trans
portation to and from their none
stead.

| The Return of Miss Petticoat

H After masquerading in various guises==such as the
H tango=skirt, the sheath like skirts and a host of other varieties
j ! -=the petticoat is with us again for a season or two. But she
| [ is wonderfully changed. Instead of the old stiff and starchy
| i kind, a mass of muslin, embroidery and lace, we now have a
| \ demure, simple and graceful garment, so necessary for proper
lines in the new fall skirt; which is short and swirls about so
Q much when one walks or dances.
% The most interesting feature, however, is the low
price which Heckman’s are selling the new petticoats for:
