coast to prevent further soviet inter
ference with British vessels outside
the three-mile limit and with orders
to use force, if necessary, in perform

tiAiU&S riii RISE
Competition for Common Labor
Is Unprecedented in Ail
Industries.
Chicago. American Industry is
deadlocked in a billion dollar wage
war to obtain additional skilled labor.
Jtat'roads, meeting the recent heavy
edU s a the steel .and packing In
dustries will, under awards already
granted and others being negotiated,
hand out $100,000,000 or more yearly
to "common labor."
Mftor railroads are awarding main
tenance and shop laborers 3 to 10 per
cent advances on the average of one
system a day.
Labor and Industrial leaders said
this is the first time in paace time
that demands for men who work with
their muscles has completely dominat
ed the country's industrial progress.
Railroads, packers, steel concerns
and manufacturers are fighting each
other in the Chicago labor market in
an effort to fill demands caused by
the "prosperity era.''
Minor industries and small employ
ers, caught in the struggle, are also
advancing pay.
That the higher pay move will soon
involve skilled and white collar work- !
ers as an economic necessity was seen
III the fact that various unions on doz- j
ens of railway lines are negotiating ;
with managers direct for increases. If j
these negotiations are not successful
petition! will be presented by them to
the United States labor board. The
board, preparing to hear pleas of main
tenance and shop laborers on a grou;)
of road.s, expects a flood of petitions
from skilled workers.

opened hostilities against our ships.
"The note contains f..i-e facts am!

imOYI.ES URGED TO RU. FOH
MKX.'L DIRECTOR AGAIN
Considerable interest has been
aroused in this district over tho
school election to be held In June,
for one director to serve three year.)
and one clerk to serve one year.
The directors were fortunal i la
employing an able corps of teacher; ,
giving us one of the most successful
schools in the county for the pan)
ear.
T. E. Broyles, the outgoing di
lector, has worked hard to lower ex j
senses and at the same time give
;ood service, and he had said that
'ge would not serve another term.
To show their appreciation of his
fl'orts and their (it sire for him to
ontinue in office, about forty friend) :
;iid patrons of the school met at his i
evidence last Sunday afternoon to
equest him to reconsider Ills decis
on and be a candidate for re-elec-ion.
S. T. Shell and others, in a few
veil chosen words, presented lit" 1
talma of the callers. lb- finally ac
cepted and said that in rase of el c
ion he would serve. The callers also
nit Mrs. Gladys Gibbons as a can-,
didate for the clerkship. It Is ad- 1
isable to have the clerk a resident
af the tofn so as to be accessible
o all school business.
The man who wishes to keep hens
on a city lot or in the back yard
should purchase pallets in the fall or
buy day-old chicks or hatching eggs
in the spring. Well matured pul
lets are the only kind to buy, as
they will begin to lay before the
roid weather sets In The maturity
of pulb'ts is indicated by the red col
or of the comb and by the sftM of the
birds. Day-old- chicks are now a
regular market commodity In all
parts of the country and are shlpp d
long distances. It is much harder
to raise small chi' kens In the small
space of a back yard than out in the
country where there is plenty of
grass range.

ray, Edgar L. rlolllngshead, scientist,
who maintains private laboratories at

The Odlc ray proves that electricity
is an element, or substance, just as
wood, with a definite atomic speed, he
maintained, saying he based his con
clusions on 20 yearB of study.
He declared that:
By use of the Odlc ray any metal
can be made to have a lighter weight
than any known gas without iu any
way changing its strength.
Hy use of Its radiance a photograph
can be taken through 1 1 V4 Inches of
solid lead and 54j inches of solid steel
with five seconds exposure.
"The new ray," he told the United
