DANCES INDEX OF THE TIMES
Reasons Why Graceful Minuet No Longer Finds Popularity in
 the Ballroom.

In an article entitled s'The Dance a Barometer of the Times" Rudolf Braehmann says in a German paper ''rhe slow, stately, graceful and seri ous minuet was popular at a time when coaches ran where We now have steam and electric cars, when we were not crowded for space and before the quicker movements had wade the soothing old time music unpopular By slow stages the dance became quicker and less grace ful, until 1t reached the boisterous level. But the turning point came with the wild gallop, and a return to the conservative waltz seems cer- tain. With rational ideas of life comes the rational dance. No better time could have been chosen for the promotion of the Johann Strauss memorial, because We are returning to the waltz age, which he domina- ted. There will always be eccentric dances. When the cake walk and other dances which only contor- tionists can perform are old there will be others to take their places. The national dances should never be forgotten, for what can take the slaee of a fandango, a schat1ler or
 hing?"

TWO SIDES TO THE QUESTION.
Patronage of Home Stores Depends
 Much Upon the Merchants.


 How often do merchants complain about the farmers and others sending to distant places for goods, while at the same time the farmers are forced by the merchants to send their pro- duce to some other place while the merchants ship in the same class or products that the farmers are send ing out?
 In the home patronage matter there is nothing so wholesome as reel procity Do the merchants always give preference to homegrown pota- toes, to the products supplied by the local hens, to the output of the local creameries? Do the merchants al ways show good example by patron izing their brother tradesmen? Or do they at times send to the city for the clothes they wear; the piano fer their daughter, the wagon they use in delivering goods, etc.?
 There are lot of narrow-minded, short-sighted men in the mercantile business as we'll as on the farms. There is a lot of selfishness in the average of humanity, and this mani fests itself now and then in censur- ing others for doing that which we feel justified in doing ourselves. Many merchants seem to think that there is only one side to the home patronage propositions; that it is the duty of the farmer to buy everything at home regardless of whether the merchant buys his four from the l home mill or whether he sends away i for the potatoes which he sells, in- stead of buying them from the local farmers.
 Then. again, merchants are as blind now and then to their own interests as are the farmers The merchant seeks to squeeze the last cent of 1 profit from the farmer and thereby loses trade, as well as the farmer trying to save few niggardly pen nies and getting bit by the distant | mail-order concern. There Is such a | thing as equity, be it understood, and there is such thing as compensation | The merchant who gives the farmers of his community square deal and shows the proper kind of enterprise is hardly ever heard complaining about the mail-order house or the depart. ment stores injuring his trade But the merchant who is intent upon play ing a dead cinch" game is forever bowling The home patronage matter is mainly up to the merchants oi the small towns. People resid ing in the country are pretty fair minded. They want decent treat ment. They like consistency. They will even pay the live, reliable, honest merchant higher price for goods than they will the distant mail-order concern or the surething department store, or the scalliwag merchant who Is always out to beat somebody out oi 2 few cents.

There is Language in Laughter.

A laugh is a good thing-some
kinds of laugh, at least. But
there are smiles that are as cruel
as knife thrust, and the laugh.

again, anecdote after anecdote
will raise a laugh or a smile long
after the original jest or point
has been lost sight of. A drawn.
down countenance, a mls-pro
nounced word, even an ungener-
Gus personal remark will draw
forth loud echo of what started
as spontaneous mirth. O1e
laughs on and on, because, seem
lngly, it would be discourteous
to relax ones face to its natural
lines again.
Have you ever listened quite
impersonallY TO the words that
brought forth these sounds? AS
senseless, as void of wit, wisdom
or real jolhty as the conversation
of fairly intelligent persons well
could be.
But it the laugh Is purchased
by the sacrifice of a kind thought,
by the telling of half-truth, by
the dragging down Of some Sc.
cret belief, either yours or an
others, to parade it as harlequin
then the price Is too high.

This ought to tell the story.
Child Labor Evil.
In combating the competition of
child labor the unions are faring bet-.
ter, for they have succeeded in in
ducing the legislatures of most Of the
northern manufacturing states to pass
laws regulating the employment of
children. It was union labor which
initiated the legislation in the eastern
states-in old New England-where
competition in the cotton mills and
textile works had forced the manu-
facturers to resort to the employment
of children.
With the enactment of child labor
legislation in these states, these in
dustries were forced to move nearer
! the source of the raw material, in the
South, where little, if any, attention
is being paid to any phase of the labor
question.
Questions Of Legislation.
However, legislation affecting the
woman wage Garner, because of con-
stitutional restrictions, so held by the
courts, cannot cover so broad a scope
as that relating to child labor. It has
been held that legislator may pro-
hibit the employment Of women for
a longer period than ten hours per
day. It may enact laws providing for
the placing of seats for the convent
ence Of the woman wage Garner, but
under no circumstances can legislation
be enacted compelling employers to
pay her living wage.
