A little help goes a long ways. If you would keep your body in a healthy and robust condition, throb bing with that splendid vitality that SEATTLE, Sept. 26.—A strike at 1 o'clock Saturday morning of 12,- ' 000 members of the 15 metal trades unions employed in Seattle ship yards and allied contract shops, was irhered today by the Seattle metal ,rades council, the central organiza tion of the 15 unions. The strike call, it was said, is the result of the insistent demand of the rank and file of the shipyard workers for ? “show down” on the long pending wage increase controversy. As near as can be estimated, three big steel shipyards, about 16 wooden shipyards and 40 contract shops will be affected by the strike. The Skin ner and Eddy plant, having granted the wage increase, will not be af fected. Three wooden shipyards and six or more contract shops also have signed the new agreement. •Receipt yesterday of telegrams from President Wilson and Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, urging that no precipitate action be taken, gave some hope that h walk-out might be averted, but this vanished when I indicates freedom from all ailments, i first of all see that your blood is I kept pure.

S. will give just the assistance that nature needs press dispatches announced that the President was planning to have the Seattle wage controversy settled by the wage adjustment committee of the United States shipping board, in connection with similar controver sies in other Pacific coast cities. These dispatches precipitated the calling of the general strike. The council’s board of business 'agents took the position that the govern ment had hopelessly misundrestood the Seattle situation in attempting to link it with the situations in Francisco and Portland, and further attempts to postpone walk-out woiJd be useless.

From Pamlico county conies a snake story that has all the others left in the shade; in fact, it is so far ahead of past tales dealing with the reptilean family that the others fade into mere insignificance along side of this remarkable story, which, incidentally , is vouched for by sev eral of the county’s most truthful citizens. According to the version reaching New Bern, Ross and Harmon Mid- gett, colored, were engaged in fell ing trees near Spicer’s creek a few days ago when one of them heard a noise which resembled the whirring of a locust. One of the men re marked on this to his brother and asked him what he thought it was. ‘‘It’s a rattler,” replied the latter, “and we had better look for de crit ter.” he added. The two boys began a search for the snake and in a nearby hollow log they found the reptile along with thirty-six others, ranging in length from three to six feet and some of ; them being as large around as the upper part of a man’s arm. Calling upon other woodsmen to I come and help them kill the snakes, 1 the two Harmon boys began killing i them, and with the assistance of sev- ' era! friends, they had dispatched the last one of the snakes in less than ten minutes. The snakes were laid end to end after they had been slain and when measured it was found that the to tal length was 132 feet and three inches. one of the season’s brides, wore her wedding gown of white silk tulle with silver trimmings. Miss Mil dred Moore’s dress was of pink silk and net. The other ladies were dressed becomingly in soft white evening costumes. The punch bowl, lovely in its decorations of flowers and ferns, was presided over by Misses Harriett Brown, Edith Har vey and Susie Becton. About one hunderd were present. On Monday, Sept. 24, Miss Esther Gray and Mr. J. W.

Department of justice agents oper ating in the vicinity learned of the ambitious program and .prior to July 27th, the night set for the general uprising brought the project to an end, with the arrest of alleged ring leaders.
