SEVEN WONDERS
 OF TODA Y,S WORLD

This is great age. Have you ever stopped to consider it? Every age has had it's wonders; none greater than those of today. The seven wonders of the world were Estupendous in the Alexandrian times They still weigh heavily in the balance. yet they are surpassed by the accomp- iishments of the last few months.
 Present day genies knows no con- fines. The dreams of the ancients are the realities of today. More than ever before no man knows what day may bring forth.
 Fancy. if you can. the leaders of the worlds affairs of the long dead centu- ries dropped upon the earth today.
 What would be their impressions of our up-to-date methods of travel. com munication. manufacturing, living, and, if you will. even their one-time favor ite pastime. Tnan-killing?
 What would they think of even the pyramids compared to the new forty- eight story building now nearing com pletion in New York? What of the present day wonders on every hand?
 The earth's seven wonders, old and new, were the goods. It is no dispar- agement of the old to say that the new are more wonderful The new wonders stand for so much more of material progress.
 The new wonders of the last few months are:

 "Nor are these improvements and conditions peculiar to Kansas City, Kan" said Mir. Trickett in conclusion. "They have been duplicated in every city of our state in which the prohi- bition law has been enforced: in To- peka, Wichita. Junction City. Fort Scott CoffeyvilIe,S Independence and other places. Ton may go all over the State and the people will tell you that every single city, without an exception, where the prohibition law has been enforced has enjoyed a boom, a prosperity such as it never knew before. I believe that the prosperity of Kansas Is due quite as much to the prohibition law as to the good crops. There are three places in Kansas today where q man can get drink. where the law Is openly de- fied-~-Leavenworth Atchison and Pitts burg--and in every one of them the popuiation has decreased. On the oth- CT hand. the population of Kansas City, Kan, has increased more rapidly than that of $ any other city in the State; next comes Wichita, Topeka and Par sohs--aII prohibition towns.
 T think I have answered your ques- tion." said MT. Trickett.

WOMEN EARN 70 GENTS A DAY.
French ssovernment Report VIII Show
 Aaiseries of Home Labor.

Miseries of Home Labor.
 The French Minister of labor has in the press a volume of 700 pages on the conditions of women's work at home. Some extracts from it which have been published indicate extreme misery, especially among seamstresses. These conditions. the report states, have grown worse instead of better in recent years. The factory laws re- quiring ventilation, toilet accommoda- tions, safety devices on machinery and shorter hours of labor have closed a number of small factories and work shops. The result Is that the work is now done in garrets and tenements rooms through contractors and sub- contractors. The competition among these and the consequent price cutting has become so acute that they can hardly make a living thernselves. and those whom they employ are cut liter ally to starvation wages.
 One example quoted is that of an old woman, q widow of 69, who had sup ported herself as a seamstress for tsventy-five years. Sometimes she makes pillow cases sometimes she sewn the buckle on garters and sus- Uender. She is able to earn about a cent and fifth an hour and last year made only 130 francs. or S2e This, with S24 from the Assistance Pub nque, was all she had to live on.
 No doubt this woman's age was one cause of her extremely low earnings. but the case of shirt waist maker, 70. years old and a skilled work woman is given as typical. This woman, who is described as Mime. F., works at her
