These demands would be- their matter of course rights if they were employed in industrial capacities, but since they are workers in that less organized industry, the home, they haw not the same resource to adjustment of their claims that the industrial laboring class have. It is not the purpose to dwell upon the predicament of the household servant in this article, but to briefly point out some of the agencies through which she has already obtained no little relief. The proposition of standardized household labor is with us, but there is no question but that the next few years will see the out of domestic service problems on a basis parallel to that on which other labor problems have been LEAGUE and wilL be adjusted Electricity Substitute In the readjustment will enter to a very great extent the electrical labor saving devicees. Three out of four of the general demands can be met by the installation of labor saving apparati in the home. Even now the questions, How many in the family? Oh, I have to do the washing? are being superseded by Do you have electricity? For with electricity it is easy to get servants and easy to keep them for the work is easy. With electricity the mistress of the house can do her own work with comparative ease. Electricity in the home is not a luxury it is a modern necessity. Solution Apparent Consider the footsteps, the hackbending, the inconvenience, and the drudgery that modern electrical devices and appliances save and you wilLee what a powerful factor will be in the solution of the servant and household labor problems, RESUMES MEETINGS After an adjournment of- many weeks, the Girls league again resumed its meetings, the first one of the new year being held Wednesday under the auspices of the officers of the- league. Owing to a misunderstanding, Miss Mable B. Young, the speaker for the occasion, was unable to be present. The time was spent in discussing certain matters of importance before the league. The girls were favored with a piano solo by Miss Clara Walker, a junior, a very accomplished !ydUhg -- lady, and a violin solo by Miss Nora Barber, accompanied on the piano by her sister, Miss Christy. 'With' the closing of the discussions, the meeting was adjourned. 1 WEBER LOSES TO DAVIS QUINT Davis won the big game and it came as quite a blow to Weber for last year they won the champioaship, you know. The Webereens came thick and fast, five hundred strong they say, for who among that cheering throng dreamed they would lose the day? They filed into our lofty gym and near took all the space, but the Davis- ites came tumbling in and gave them quite a race. We lined up on the north side and they upon the other. They every one carried a megaphone and hollered, Hey there, Brother!" Then the big game started,N as big games have to do. And imagine our excitement when the first half was through. Then we started on. the second half, but by this time Webers song had died away to a little chirp ' for their' faces weregrowing - long. The second half ended victoriously for dear old Davis High. The score, 29 to 15 made the Weber hoopmen sigh. So they went home lamenting - and kicking at their shins and whispering those sad, sad words, Just think what might Tiave been? ' Sanders was up in his guarding as he always is, you know, and heshowed that the man he gaurded that he was nothing slow. Harvey and Adams score! most of our points,, with the Roberts boys always right there. It is the opinion of everyone that our playing was certainly rare. Then after some jazzy dances, we merrily ,.went on our way; each one to himself rerjking, The end of a perfect day. - TT 1 - 4 ' I I 5 1 I . WEBER NORMAL CINQUES TITLE FOR DAVIS IIIGII Ogden, Feb. 24.

In last nights tilt, Criichlow for Weber and .Watkins for Box Elder featured the play. elec-tici- ty ' lems. For example: You cannot offer a houseworker anything like definite hours unless she has the equipment at hand whereby the otherwise interminable duties of housework can be shortened and standardized. You cannot offer her pleasant working conditions and surroundings if, for lack of electric clothes washer, vacuum cleaner and dishwasher, she must mess around in an atmosphere of dirty suds, choking dust and greasy dishwater. The third demand for labor saving t, of course, presupposes electric household helps, for with the exception of some small tools and utensils the term Labor saving equipment is synonymous with electric appliances. -- g. ne i the eounty clerk FARMINGTON County sent of rich and fertile Daria X county.

The recent 14 per cent wage increase awarded coal miners will, add $5,000,000 annually to the burden on consummers in Colorado, if coal operators there are allowed to increase prices to produce an adequate return on their investment, E. II. Weit-zof the Colorado Fuel & Iron company today told the Senate coal investigating committee. Thewage increase, he said, could not be absorbed by his company, which operated in 151151 at a loss of 7 5 cents a ton. Colorado miners did not need the wage increase, he said, some miners, under the former scale receiving as high as $.1500 a year, while the average was about $1682. Employes of bis company had opposed the strike, he said. Prior to 15M9, he added, employes of the company owned 218 automobiles at a cost of $181,850 and in 1919 this increased to 240 at a cost of $215,600, increased to 246 at a cost of $245,600, while during the first six weeks in 1920 seventy-fiv- e new automobiles were purchased.

L. stands for High Cost of Liv-inTheyre wrong. It stands for High Cost of Loafing. Thats what it means to farmer folks. And during the jpast few months the farmers of America, aroused to a gTeat need, tired of the methods of labor unions and capital profiteers, tired of senseless effots to beat down the price of basic food products which efforts are likely to make prices even higher a year from now have organized as they were never organized before. They have done it by means of farm bureaus and state u and national federations, declares Harry R. OBrien, in The Country Gentleman of February 21. The forty-fou-r hour week will not feed and clothe the world. Short hours ami ceaseless demands for higher' pay, strikes and lockouts; these mean to the farmer but-othing loafing. And when we add profiteering and. the II. C. S. the High Cost of .Spending we are getting at .the causes for excessive prices.

The Marys and the Bridgets are being replaced by electricity. Of late years there ha been a great deal of unrest in domestic labor service, just as there has been in the ranks of industrial labor. '"War conditions intensified this unrest and a latent rebellion against the feudal working conditions almost always present into a crisis. Universal agitation among labor for less work and more pay has also been responsible for the turning of the domestic worm. According of vhool is the hiithmt Tita lisminf in Davis county.
