We also look to the educated

struggle Of this era is for industrial
liberty. The conflict began when
the capitalist became despot. 1t
assumed new phase when organ
lied labor became tyrannical. A
third party, the consumer has now
raised his voice insisting that he
has rights which both capital and
labor must respect. The conflict
will pass when those in power will
unite in declaring that the laborer
is worthy of this hire, that capital
has legitimate earnings, that the
consumer has right to purchase
al reasonable prices and when eth
er organized labor or consolidated
capital establishes fictitious exor-
bitant prices the state must in the
interests Of justice interfere.
We turn to the educated also

GOT OLD LOVE LETTER.

Boyhood's dream of love has been wildly recalled to Ole Haugen, of Stanley, by the receipt of a letter from a girl whom he admired when he was a boy in Norway, and who re- turned his affection. Since the let ter was written, however, Mir. Haul gen has married and reared a family, and its sweet phrases now meet with nothing more than a response of nemory.
 The letter was addressed to MT. Haugen at Minatitlin, Mexico, where the addressee went when he was IS years old. It is dated Lavirk, Nor way, Nov. IS, 1875. Since the letter was mailed MT. Haugen has visited South America and Norway and has returned to Stanley, where he is now in business. The letter had lain in the Mexican post office until re- gently, when it was sent back to Norway and from there forwarded to Mir. Haugen at his present ad- dress.-Chippewa Falls Correspoad' ent St. Paul PioneerPress.

MONDAY UNIVERSAL WASH DAY.
Recognized as Such Over Almost All
 the World.

Why does nearly all the civilized world wash clothes on Monday? What has Monday to do with washing? It was originally the moons day and was sacred to the queen of night. l read in a schoolboy's history that the Pilgrims landed on Monday and the good women immediately set about washing the clothes that had been soiled on the trip over. We might judge from that alleged fact that no washing was done aboard ship; yet the finest place for such necessary work of sanitation and blessedness is out at sea where there Is plenty of water and nearly al- ways drying wind.
 The voyage of the little Mayflowcr lasted 63 days, l believe, and as near ly as we can now reckon the landing was made at Plymouth Rock on a Monday, though some historians in- sist on Friday. It must have been a vile and filthy vessel on arrival, with 102 passengers and crew going over two months without washing their linen. Linen? What did they wear fn 1920? Can you realize how big was the Mayfiower? A miserable lit tie bark of 160 tons (Capt. John Smith) or 1S0 tons (according to Bradford).

THE LIKING FOR SWEETS
Proof of Wholesome, Vigorous, Health. fui Condition of Both the
 Mind and the Body.

Nothing could be said in greater praise of a people than that they like sweets. It shows a wholesome, vigorous, healthful condition-an appetite not jaded from excessive indulgence, says a writer in What to Eat. The child whose appetite has not become polluted or calloused by false rellshes, smarting sauces and burning drinks loves sweets; so does the girl of bright eyes and untainted youth, as IS evinced by her fondness for ice creams and desserts. The young athlete among men loves sweets nearly as well as does the child. But the barroom lounger, the cigarette tiend," the "dope fiend" and the depraved of all other classes do not like sweets. Long ago their minds and appetites have lost the desire for everything pleasing to the natural palate. Among these people you will find the eaters of foul smell ing cheese, the lovers of moldy saul sage, of old dried fishes, of goose liyers, made vile by natural and arti- ficial decompositions; of meats and fruits that are allowed to spoil be- fore they are eaten. From these causes other countries laugh at the United States and England, and say their foods are not fit to eat Eng land has been called a nation of a hundred dishes and one sauce. The Russian peace commissioners went back home and said the American foods were unspeakable.

An Oregon attorney, representing a client whose title to a certain cold storage plant was under fire, closed an able argument, before the Oregon supreme court recently with the fol lowing bit of pathos: 'Your honor, there is more resting upon your de- cision than this cold storage plant: a human life is at stake. My clients lifes efforts are in this cold storage; his life's blood is in this cold storage; his body and soul are wrapped up in this cold storage."-Law Notes.
