Getting Rich In Their Minds.

The silverites who are dreaming Of
great wealth to be had for everybody
through the simple process of calling so
cents a dollar should wake up long
enough to ask themselves this question.
"If dollars worth of property
means certain quantity of labor prod
ucts, would there be any more of these
products for the men who want them if
we say that the same amount of proper
ty is worth So? In other words, does an
increase in the prices of goods mean an
increased quantity of goods?''
By the time they have thought out an
answer to this question the victims Of
the 16 to 1 delusion will be able>to see
that, though they might legislate that
every dollars worth of products should
be worth 100 times as much, the only
change would be in the minds Of the
men who made the law. Dreams of
great riches are mighty poor substitutes
Cor solid labor products.

occasioned by the depreciation in value OF

shrinkage occasioned is an enormous one

well as the farm itself. Our sheep have
shrunken about 7,0O0,OOO in number, and

lect them soon? Application will be made
to the roads for one fare for the round trip,
and there is no doubt they will grant the
courtesy as they have done hitherto.
M. f. Carder is Chairman of the Enter
tainment Committee. The large numbers
attending these conventions make ordinary
home entertainment difficult and unsatisfac.
tory to delegates. This year the homes of
Kalamazoo will be open and lodging and
breakfast furnished to all accredited dele
gates who notify Mr.. Carder on or before
Nov. 18th. Send in your name early.
The Young Peoples Christian Union, an
lnterdenominational organization of the city,
has been engaged to serve dinners and sup
pers near the church in which the convention
is held. They will furnish meals at fifteen
cents. This price is made possible by the
cooperation of the farmers of the county
who furnish material to the Union. Any
proceeds to the Union are devoted to the
maintenance of Rescue Mission. 1t is
confidently believed that this plan will
please our guests better than taking car
and going long distance to meals.
There has been an increasing interest
and enthusiasm in attendance for q number
of years and each year the convention has
been of greater power and we expect greater
things this year than ever.
Among the prominent speakers from
abroad, we mention Bishop Vincent, b. f.

Why Women DO Mems Work.

In discussing the commO complaint
Of mems mouths a recent issue of the
Woman's Tribune has this to say:
There was a time when a woman
left to support a family could make a
living by tailoring, cooking, plain sew
ing, washing and ironing. keeping house
for wages. or by copying papers for
lawyers. But men have set up tailor
shops and factories for ready-made
clothing: built steam laundries; invent
cd the club and its luXuries for wealthy
bachelors who might want housekeep-
ers: hired men as cooks and walters;
and invented the typewriter. When
women found themselves crowded out
of these lines by the advance of inven-
ton they turned to the men and asked
all sorts of work, taking what they
could gct-doing mems work and get
ting a wOman's pay for it.
1T is noticeable. too, that girls rarely
work for themselves alone; there is
usually an old or an invalid mother, a
father unable to work. or younger
brothers and sisters. And rs for older
women who work, there is so often a
lazy or Il bad man to blame that men
would better not look too closely into
the matter if tney wish to state so
strongly that IN work simply to
get men out Of work. AS for young
women not marrying now that they
work for a living. that is Il good remark
Of Il young woman in the Treasury De
partment at Washington: We'll, you
know a girl doesn't want to give up a
81. 200 place for a 5000 man."

Life Saver in Boomers,

Many women now wear black bloom
ers or knickerbockers under the skirts
of their dresses. This does away with
the need OF u~nderskirts. \ short time
ago a young lady was out rowing with
some friends on Rockland lake, New
York. Her lame was Carrie A. Saw
yer. In another boat near by were Mr..
Wolverson and his two children, a boy
and girl. The little boy fell overheard.
The girl, distracted. tried to jump over
after him. but her father held her back.
This prevented him from going to the
aid of his son. Out Miss Sawyer was
one of the fine, young, new women.
She both knew how to swim and was
dressed for the emergency. She saw
the accident first. In the tWinkling of
an eye she unfastened her long skirt,
threw it off, and. clad in her black
knickerbockers. Sprang into the water.
The boy had sunk twice before she got
to him. but she managed to grasp him
and swim to shore with him.
