More than 23,000 union brewery
workers, in 71 cities, will add an
average of $166.40 to their Individ

calculated by labor officials. This
increase, averaging $3.20 per man

increase for all brewery workers
will be greater, however, as nego

The new increase raises the week

XOOKING IX. ON THE
Famous Dionne Quins
Copyrighted article by the
Quaker Oats Company
"Quins' Mischievous Little Tykes
Many people have fond remem
brances of the little red schoolhouse,
but the famous Dionne Quins of Can
ada will have memories of a more
modern "schoolroom." One room in
their famous home-hospital has been
set aside for their rcadin. ritin' and
'rithmetic hours.
Miss Claire Tremblay, of Windsor,
was selected in last December a3
their tutor. Miss Tremblay's only
form of discipline is patience as she
does not believe in spankings. Al
though the children are unusually
well behaved, a mischievous Quiu
sometimes becomes unruly and is
subjected to "solitary confinement"
for a period of usually two min
utes. By now a nurse has only to
lead little Miss Mischief a few steps
toward the door before she realizes
that she has to put on her good be
havior. Yes. the most famous babies in
the world ar too mischievous at
times, but that only proves that, they
are normal children, as hale and
hearty and noisy as other youngsters
oT their age. The Quins owe much
oi their vim and vigor to the food
they eat, all of which is carefully
selected by the staff of medical ad
visors. The next time you see a pic
ture of the world's most photograph
ed babies notice the abundance of
. nergy and good health they display,
and remember that today and every
day the famous Dionne Quins eat a
generous helping of Quaker Oats.
(Other interesting stories of the
Quins will follow later).

Great Cornhusker
Team for Season
Line Coach of Nebraska Comes to
Omaha with Cattle and Lots of
Football Enthusiasm.
OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 12 (UP)
Brimming with enthusiasm for Ne
braska's football prospects, Roy
(Link) Lyman, Husker line coach,
and erstwhile Grant county ranch
er, came to market Wednesday with
a consignment of cattle.
The Nebraska football squad lost
a number of its best men by gradu
ation last season, Lyman said, but
the team is going to have two great
lines nevertheless. Any shortage of
material will be in the backfield.
"We could use more good batks,"
Lyman said, "but taking: the squad
as a whole, we ought to have enough
power to come through what looks
like a mighty tough schedule, with
out having to offer any alibis. Min
nesota and Pitt should be the big
gest games for Nebraska this year."
Late this month Lyman will go to
Chicago to witness the game between
the All-Stars and the Green Bay
Packers. He will return to Lincoln
in mid-September for the opening of
the practice season.
Wearing a ten. gallon sombrero and
a deep coat of tan Lyman looked
more like a cowhand than a football
coach when he brought in a consign
ment of range cattle. There has not
been a good rain in Grant; county for
a long time, he said. But where
there is any grass, cattle are putting
on some flesh and should come to
market in good condition later in the
fall.

ness. A sudden and severe rain which
visited - Louisville last week proved
very disastrous to Mr. Keim, who has
a road contract near that town, in

ing it very unprofitable for Mr. Lum.
But he received a letter a few days
since telling him that an oil well is
being sunk near his farm and is
now six thousand feet deep with a
good prospect of striking oil and if
this occurs, it will be better than a
crop of wheat on the land
