Thanks Giving to thu Ii. o. p.

Thanksgiving table supplies CON
sisting of nine pound turkey.
plum pudding for four, mince meat
for three pies, celery, parsley, quart
OF cranberries, pound of mixed nuts
and three pounds of sweet potatoes
were sold in Chicago ten years ago
yesterday for Sl.95. Yesterday pre-
cisely the same supplies cost 81. 25.
II this difference is a little above the
average ii is safe to assume that the
prices OF these and similar articles
have practically doubled in the last
ten years. The department Of COM
merce and labor at Washington
found year ago that the increase
in the cost Of living i'm ten years
had been 40 per cent.
Meanwhile the increase in wages
has been small and the increase in
salaries has been still smaller. And
since the increase in pay has not
been nearly so large rs the increase
in the cost of living, how have the
masses adapted themselves to the
new situation? The answer is plain.
They have simply-and necessarily
lowered their standards of living.
The matter of income is, after all,
measured by what the income will
buy, no: by its definition in dollars
and cents. The incomes of the mass
es will not begin TO purchase now
what they did ten years ago, nor
what they did two years ago but un-
less there is a check in the encroach-
ments of organized greed, they still
purchase more than they will here
after.
The greatest of all factors i'm the
increase of the cost of living is the
protective tariff The protective
tariff, in its extreme abuses, is also
the chief cause of the concentration
OF wealth. And aside from the gen
eral suffering that arises from the in
equitable distribution of wealth
through the tariff protected trusts
and the conditions they create, this
concentration of wealth is the great

A PERNICIOUS HABIT

The Evening Journal recites the
fact that two of the leading daily pa
pers OF the State, the "NorfoIk-Vir-
ginian Pilot and the Index-Appeal
are engaged in competition the OBJ
ject whereof is to select the most an
propriate nickname for Mr.. Bryan
from the view point of the great Ne
braskan's enemies ard asks, lis it
not about time TO let up on Mr.. Bry-
an, and that Mr.. Bryan and
his views will have to be reckoned
with in 1912. This may be, and is,
a potent reason why this hickman
ing and vilifing of great man
should be stopped. The habit of
nicknaming and belIttling great men
is entirely too prevalent in the news
papers. The habit has become chron-
ic with certain newspapers and has a
pernicious effect, particularly upon
young boys who are reading the pa
pels today as never before. These
youngsters have none too much rever
ence for old age in these days of ir-
reverence, not even for their own IA
theirs, and the newspapers are con
tributing great deal to the growth
and spread of this common evil.
Speak not evil of dignitaries, =" is
an injunction which is much disre-
garded. Stop il for the sake of the
young men, if for no other reason.

THE FARMER A SCIENTIST

Some investigator has found odt
by actual experiment and count
there are 1000 different kinds of soil
in the United States, and not as we
used to think only two-rich and
poor. This means that there is soil
adapted to the growth of every con-
ceivable plant and crop. Remem-
bering, too that in the United States
all the different climates of the earth
prevail, we get some idea Of the
wonderful and almost unlimited Te-
sources of the great country i'm which
we live. Here every fruit, vegeta
bic and plant known and unknown,
may find congenial home where it
can live and have its being. And,
too ii follows, that human beings,
animals, birds and beasts, from the
extreme and intermediate zones, can
live and flourish here, and feel and
be at home. But these different soils
will not all produce the same
growths. Plants, soils and climate
must be taken into consideration,
and all this means that the farmer
should be, of all men OF all occu pa
tions, "A scientific man. \ lawyer
need know only his law course and
get on very well. The same with a
physician, preacher, merchant and

understand how and what plants
feed upon, grows, propagate and
live, requires n knowledge and wis

is imagined. The successful farmer
OF the future must read books and

THE DROUGHT BROKEN

y heavy rain storm prevailed here
Monday nigh: and Tuesday morn-
ing, breaking the drought which we
have had almost continually for
nearly three months. The last heavy
rain here was September 10th the
last day Of the Fair, which many
people, particularly ladies, have
cause To remember. Since that time
the weather has been baImy and dry
almost continually, except day or
two of cold and slight snow in
November. The rain OF this week
was badly needed. Wheat and
young grass was suffering somewhat,
from the drought. The storm was
not followed by cold weather or
snow, as is usual at this season here.
However, some Of the knowing ones
predict winter weather To follow
soon. Certainly no one can COM

membered as the most delightful

Notwithstanding the storm last

The Misses Stuart exhibited a YER

while Miss Douglas was at her best
and was recalled again and again by

The program showed wi lie repre-
tOire for the artists and was chosen
and arranged with exquisite taste.
Special mention should be made
of the Chopin Nocturne i'm G Minor
and "Ueber die Steppe him." by
Schytte, rendered by Miss Cecille
Stuart. In the latter, bit of de-
scriptive music Miss Stuart's excel

her tonality was strong and fine
while her interprt tation throughout
the program was good.
Miss Douglas played i'm her usual
delightful manner. "CoppeIia, by
Delibes-Adler, was given with de-.
icacy and beauty of touch and tone
that were especially charming.
J The last three numbers given nv
