THREE BOYS FREEZE
TO DEATH IN SNOW
Lads Lose Their Lives in Noun
tains of the Coast Range on
Thanksgiving Day
Bodies Found Yesterday and
Removed to Santa Paula
for the Inquest
Especial Dispatch to The Call

VENTURA, Nov. 2S-Three little
boys were frozen to death some time
Thanksgiving day nine miles from
Santa Paula They were Clifford and
Cuba Tharp. aged II and years and
John Blaes, aged IS years. son of we'll
known farmers in the section in which
they met death.
The night before Thanksgiving a
heavy storm ragged in the San Caye-
tano mountains which overlook the
valley where lie the farm homes OF the
boys. Thursday morning the entire
range was white with snow. the near
est line of which was within five miles
OF the floor of the valley. The weather
was warm and sunny in the valley and
the boys concluded to visit the snow
line They started out without coats
and without lunch of any kind. They
said they would be back for Thanks
giving dinner, which was eaten at last
without them.
SEARCH IS BEGUN
Toward nightfan the friends OF the
boys became anxious and a party of
three started out to search for the
lads The searching party did not re-
turn during the night. Then the whole
countryside was aroused and hundreds
Of men and every available saddle
morse was pressed into service. The
search was kept up all day Friday and
Friday night. Fresh parties started
out again this morning.
At o'clock this afternoon word
came that the bodies of the boys had
been found huddled in death in Tim
Der canyon, nine miles from Santa
Paula. Two oilmen, who had been
drilling wells on the mountainside be-
low where the bodies were found, made
the discovery. There was no snow
near the bodies when found, but there
was evidence in plenty in the drifts
about that snow laid thick all about.
The boys must have met death some
time Thursday. 1t is supposed that
they got lost on some of the winding
trails and wandered about until they
sat down to rest. The bodies were
taken to Santa Paula late tonight.

The Protective Tariff league must
 be singing loud hallelujahs in its sanetum sanctorum that the sacred tariff will be revised higher if the
 republicans are successful at the election. The league holds fast to the fundamental absurdity that a
 high tariff protects not only the
 manufacturers. but the laboring man as well. In fact, Charles A. Moore, president of the league, who was in Chicago at the convention to see that no harm came to the sacred Dingley tariff from it's friends, the republicans, said: "If the alleged tariff reformers or revisionists pre- vail at the convention, the ineom- ing administration will be pledged to revision downward, meaning greater importations of foreign goods and the displacement of American products, less production, less employment, and reduction of wages, and placing our people on the same basis as foreigners" But the danger from all these direful predictions of disaster have been warded off and instead of revision we are promised "revis- ion upward through the addition to the present law of a higher scale of duties to be known as the maximum tariff. So MT Moore and his league of tariff pampered trusts can now he calm as far as the republican party is concerned and turn their atten. tion to the wicked democrats who are for real tariff reform that will curb trust high prices.

Political scares and crop SCI

Political scares and crop scares
 must be anticipated, says
 Banker Clews. There is also
 possibility of labor troubles
 in the event of an attempt
 on the part of the railroads to re-
 duce wages. since it must be re-
 membered that organized labor has
 not yet accepted its share of the
 business reaction which has lately
 fallen upon the country. But aside
 from these three danger points, there is nothing in the situa ion of sufficient importance to counteract
 the influence of an unlimited supply of abnormally cheap money. which is still the controlling element in the stock marke:. An element of some concern is the course of our national finances. The fiscal year closes with a reduction of s6O, ,00O.- 900 in revenue, s4s.00O. .000 of this loss being due to the shrinkage in imports following the panic. There was also a considerable loss in in- ternal revenue. much of which was to the prohibition move ment. A year ago. however. the closed it's books showing a surplus of ss7.0O0.0OO in receipts over expenses, which means a loss of about s150.oOO. .O00 in the 12l Congress has complicated matters by making extravagan. ap- at a time when econ omy should have been the watch word The treasury. however. is still in a strong position: the gov srument balance being about s2s3.-i poo. 900, of which more than $780, 000.o00 is in the deposifary banks. This may be reduced shortly by a sslI for s5O.0ee.Oo0.

The republicans evidently believe that the constitution does not count for much nowadays for the word constitution does not appear in the speeches of Senator Lodge, or MT Burton, made at the republican con vention, and only one reference to that instrument is made in the plat form. This reference occurs in the resolution relating to the enforce ment of the 18th, 14th and 18th amendments.

OPPONENT EASY TO BEAT.
Slight Accident Put Edmonia's Rival
Out of the Running.

Mrs. S. was in a Richmond hos
pital, and she was lonely, so welcomed
the advent of very black and very
languid maid, who came in one MORN
Ing to wipe up the floor. Some one
new to talk to, so no time was lost.
II have not seen you working here
before. Aren't you a new girl?"
Edmonia willingly let the cloth slip
back into the bucket, and sat fiat upon
the floor before answering.
"Yas'm, rs new. Is jest washin'
up de floor; but l don't work, Is ed
jikated"
"And where were you educated?"
was the next question.
"In seminary" Then. with burst
of confidence: There was me an an
other girl workin' in a house. She was
cook and / was chambermaid, and
we had great times about who would

pause, "She was easy to beat, cause

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much Of
their attractiveness to the way they
are Numbered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau
ty. Home laundering would be equal
ly satisfactory If proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening

you will be pleasantly surprised at the

Rival Diunities.

An Englishman, fond of boasting
OF his ancestry, took coin from his
pocket and, pointing to the head en-
graved on it, said: my great-great-
grandfather was made a lord by the
king whose picture you see on this
shilling"
What a coincidence!" said his
Yankee companion, who at once pro-
duced another coin my greatgreat-
grandfather was made an angel by the
indian whose picture you see on this
cent."-Ladies' Home Journal.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1908-10-16

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric Is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality Of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
or strength than other makes.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1908-10-16

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffen-
er makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish. equal to that when the
goods were new.
