cause they give greater volume OF

Sewing Machines.
M OR YEARS purchasers oil
1NT Sewing Machines have been
oINl under the necessity of pay
ing fancy prices.
When we set about planning the
Woodward & Lothrop Sewing Ma
chine we eliminated all unnecessary
expense, and got the price down to
minimum.
You see the result, in this splen-
did, noiseless, easy-running, eco
nomically-priced, ball-bearing Sew
ing Machine. 1t is up to date and
equal to the best machines that you
pay $1,000 and $500 for. Prices
are $500 and $3.50. The work
ing parts of both are the same, only
the $1,000 machine is box-top
style, while the SIS. 50 is drop-head
machine, with automatic lift, and has
finer cabinet work.
Each machine is complete with a
full set of nickeled-steel attachments
and carries with it a fve-year guar
antee.
We also carry in stock other pop
ular makes, at proportionately low
prices.

meat packers have offered a sliding
scale OF wedding presents from $50
to 5000 to, ali men In their employ
who win marry. The reasons advanc-
ed by the company for the increased
value OF benedicts are:
A married man can be depended on
better than an unmarried man.
He has increased domestic respon-
sibilities and takes his work more
seriously.
He places his work higher in i'm
portance than does the youth whose
brain is filed with thoughts of girls
and light social affairs.
He is not as extravagant and Eighty
hence can be trusted in financial mat
tiers to a greater extent than the sim
gle man.
The larger a mans family the more
faithful he Is to his work, his respon'
siblllty being much that he works
more energetieally for increased
wages.

The fell blow which we long nave

. we had expected something OF TINS
kind. In 1904 1t was look out for 1906.
and now lp.s 1905 it is look out for
1907. ~
1t is altogether probable that the

WAGES VS.. cosT OF LIVING.

The West Virginian has been talk
ing the great benefits derived from the
present protective taritf and made a
particular point about the increase in
wages of the workingman. The Times
pointd out that the nottingham was
little benefited since the Republicans
came into power because the increased
cost Of living more than balanced the
increase in wages. The West Virgin
ian cllnches its argument vita 9. squib
that reads this way:
what does it matter about the cost
of living, If you have the money to
pay it?"
This is a polite way Of admitting the
point The Times ade.-Fairmont
Times.
The Times could evidently suck
honey from a ylnegat jar. The West
virginian has neither politely nor Inn
politely admitted tnat "the increased
cost of living more than balanced the
incease in wages. Listen to "Unclc
Joe" Cannon ON this subject in his
great speech at DanYllle yesteFuay'
"There has been much discussion
and no little confusion over the effort
to compare the relative increase in
wages and cost of living in the last few
years. The Labor bureau of the Uni
ted states in its bulletin on this ques-
ton made very careful analysis for
III, Fn,,r+es.r vesi-s from 1890 to 1904.
In that comparison and analysis it
was shown that the weekly earnings
of all employees had increased .53:4 per
cent. from 1894 to 1904. and that the
retail prices of food products had in
creased In the same time only IL per
cent. This, 1 believe, is the only care
full and scientific Investigation that
has been made Of the subject"

Scheme to Keep Taxes up.

SEHEIIlV ~ 49, -.
The Charleston Mail is Of the opin-
lon that there is scheme on foot
among the Democrats to keep taxes
up in order to dlscredtt the Republt-
can party. The paper in substantial
ton Of its assertion says:
In fifteen or more Of the counties
and districts OF the State tax fsyies
have been reduced, many OF them
since the decision Of the supreme
court in the Braxton county case ana
others will be compelled to take sim
fiar action. In the majority OF cases
the district boards of education have
been at fault, although several coun-
ties have exceeded the limit allowed
hysIaw. 1t is the opinion Of Tax Com
missioner Dillon that in only one bias
any levylng body acted Arbitrarily ana
he cites the action OF the Braxton
county commissioners whom ne sns-
meets OF possessing Interior motives
AGAINST the new tax laws. A majority
Of the Braxton county court are Dem
ocrats and Mr.. Dillon is of the op1n-
ion that It was sought to lay high
lew for purpose of keeping taxes
biph IN spite of the fact that the
county had FIVE times the amount OF
aesessabie property over 1904 the
n r,e writ of mandamus award
al the tax commissioner by the SD;
nreme court was assured Saturday ana
r. directs the Braxton county commits
sioners to reconvene forthwith and
make levy in accordance With the
act of the legislature Of 1906, which
provides that the amount raised shall
not exceed by more than per cent
the amount raised in 1904. Word has
been received at the office ot'the TAX az
commissioner that the county court
of pleasant county had held another
meeting and that the levy bad been
reduced.
