D«1—1111 till Ninety-aecond Street SEND IN NEWS ITEMS take is problematical, as the tsnden- cies of the times is to organise and re-organise, not only among employ- era but also among employes. Con sequently it in an endless chain, and as past experience has always shown. it is only a matter of time when it will run its course and disintegrate. When combinations, associations and organisations become selfish, greedy and arrogant they are a detriment to the interests of society and usually find their level, and when they do public opinion sends for the under taker to remove the remains to the scrap heap of inocuous disquietude. Then and then only with reason and sanity be restored to its normal bal ance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -I BELLROSE-GILBERT Kru.

If you know of items of interest in your neighborhood send or tele phone them in. or give us a tip so we may get them. It will be appreciated. * PACIFIC COAST SHIPBUILDING J. H. Rosseter, director of opera tions of the shipping board, declares that this coast can successfully com pete in shipbuilding not only with the east, but with the world. Climatic conditions are so greatly in our favor as to more than offset whatever dis advantages there are. We can com pete with the world and still give to the skilled and unskilled workmen more purchasing power than others similarly employed can get anywhere else. Our advantage is not altogether our climate favorable for production. We are very large exporters of food stuffs, on which our distance com petitors have to pay freight and ad ditional profits. A given wage has more purchasing power here than in most places which compete with us. In Europe labor has long been under paid, with the result of physical de terioration. Labor there has now de clared that its standard of life must be raised to the highest limit which will permit of competition, and all this adds to the cost of competitors and is to our advantage in compet ing for business. Mrs. Julian at Alki Bench Mr». Harry Julian ami daughter, i Mias Vivian, and Mr. and Mrs. Con nell, Mrs. Chapman of Seattle and Mrs. Olds of Portland, motored to . Seattle to spend the Fourth. Mrs. i Julian and Miss Vivian will spend a few weeks at Alki beach. They re port the roads very dusty. I ■■ ■■ Canned and Bottled Goods Let your food be the very best.

DAVIS HOME FROM FRANCE AFTER TWO YEARS' SERVICE Good food insures good health, while uncertain quality is always a jioor in vestment, no matter how low the price. John W. Davis, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Davis, of 6304 Ninety fifth street, arrived home the latter part of last week from a year’s over seas service with the 93rd hospital corps in France. Mr. Davis an swered his country’s call for men shortly after war was declared in 1917, but was first sent to Fort Seward, Alaska, where he remained a year, going from there direct to France. He arrived in New York the first of July and received his discharge at Camp Lewis last week. Lents Mercantile Co EFFICIENCY OF THE RETURNED SOLDIER Employers testify to the added ef ficiency of the returned soldier. One large Chicago institution recently ap plied approved tests to its many employes who had been in military service. The tests showed that 64 per cent were better workers than before, that 32 per cent were un changed and that 4 per cent were below their former level. The great est improvement was found in men of fairly long service. The men who showed deterioration had all been sent to the training camps only about two months before the war ended. In other words, they had been unset tled in their habits and had not had time to profit from military discip line and instruction.

Grange to Meet in Evening Pleasant Valley Grange called a special meeting Saturday evening Saturday evening and decided to hold grange meetings in the evening dur ing the busy summer season, to en able the men folks to attend. Peter McIntosh, purchasing agent for the city, declared in open meet ing before the council last week that owing to a “gentlemen’s agreement” between certain business firms in the city he is unable to buy supplies as cheap under the competitive sys tem which the ordinance requires, as Mrs. Jack Rosenau spent Sunday in the open market.

The city commissioners have ap pointed a committee to make a thor ough inspection of the waterfront as a result of the recent fire destroying over $100,000 worth of property.
