FEMALE WAGE SCALE
$9 AND LESS WEEKLY
Olympia, Wash. Statistics compil
ed by the Washington industrial wel
fare commission, through reports from
employers, show that half of the fe
male employes in mercantile establish
menta throughout the state get week
ly wages of $9 or less, or below the
minimum set by the Oregon commis
sion.
These totals include girls under 18
classed as minors under the Washing
ton law, but the figures for females
above IS years of age show that a
ruling similar to that of the Oregon
commission would have sweeping ef
fect In this state.
A comparison of the reports of
wages in various localities shows that
girls employed in country stores ap
parently draw the highest average of
wages. Wages In Seattle and Spo
kane are also classed as good, but
Tacoma is at the bottom of the low
wage list. In both Tacoma and Ever
ett more than half of the female em
ployes of stores receive less than $9
per week.

I AVID RANKIN waa a big farmer and
study and practice of right farming, and he
succeeded mightily, for he made $4,000,000 in
the business of farming. David Kankin said:
"The manure spreader is the most efficient
money-maker on the place."
It's warm praise to be ranked above all other
farm machines, but the spreader deserves it
Soils rebel when crop after crop is taken from
them, without return of fertilizer. Return
every bit of manure to the soil. The I H C
manure spreader will save you much disagree
able hard labor, will spread evenly, and will
make one ton go as far as two tons spread by
hand.
I H C Manure Spreaders
are built to suit you, to do best work for the
buyer in every case, to convince him that he
has made the wisest purchase. Every detail
in the construction has a purpose, for which it
was made after thorough tests and experiment
They have the maximum of strength and en
durance. You will find all styles and sizes in the I II C
spreader line. They will cover the ground
with a light or heavy coat, as you choose, but
always evenly, up hill or down. There are high
and low machines, with steel frames, endless
or reverse aprons, but always giving best pos
sible service. Tractive power is assured by
position of the rear wheels well under the box,
carrying nearly three-fourths of the load.
Study the I II C spreader line at the local
dealer's. Read the catalogues write us.
