CHATTING DISH FUDGE PARTY

Bring your chatting dish and aprons
for two on Saturday night at s."
This was the message four girls and
four lads of congeniai minds received
not long ago. And what jolly time
they had! The helpful boys donned the
aprons, and the girls amid much mer-
rlment instructed them into the mys-
teries of fudge building.
There was divinity fudge, which is
the very latest addition to the fudge
family, and all sorts of connections that
made the plain chocolate fudge Of

The making and selling of fancy

goodly array of South Side girls among
it's members.

thing constructed upon a chatting dish

Although FOR THE DAY

Another day to face the working world,
To take or leave the tasks ordained,
And count, whateer the cost, when comes
the night.
So much that's lost, little gained
1t took hundred years to build a tree
From tiny cell, itself inspired
From out Its very own to sacrifice
The life for perfect whole required.
But promise this unto yourself today,
To do your best, and then await
The final summing up, nor grieve that now
The thing you do seems far from great.
No sulied thought, no careless. unknd

Should mar your record Of the day;
Keep faith first with yourself, then safely
trust
The rest with God; that is to pray.

And lead others like to do.

TO Find PARTNERS

Make balls of cotton, tie them with
different colored ribbons. two of a.
kind, then give the two balls that are
alike to man. Have the man on one
side of a door or room separated by
portieres over which there is grill
or opening. The man is to throw over
one ball, the girl who catches it be-
ing his partner. Another way is to
wrap half of a quotation in one ball
and then match the quotation halves.

From the almost prehistoric days
when primeval man regarded nearly
every happening as an "omen" of good
or ill, the most interesting of all his
omens, superstltions, etc, have clus-
tered about the marriage ceremony.
Brutal cynics have heartlessly sug-
gested that this was because woman
lever the central figure in all wedding
feasts) is by nature more superstitious
than man. Here are some of the most
famous marriage maxims of all time,
in verse and prose:
Marry in Lent
And live to repent
In choosing the wedding day the
following lines have long been an au-
thority:
Monday for wealth,
Tuesday for health.
Wednesday the best day of all;
Thursday for losses,
Friday for crosses.
Saturday no luck at ALL
Marry when the year is new,
Always loving, kind and true.
When February birds do mate
You may wed, nor dread your fate.
II you wed when March winds blow
JOY and sorrow both youll know.
Marry in April when you can,
Joy for maiden and for man.
Marry in the month OF May,
You will surely rue the day
Marry when June blow,
over land and sea you'll go.
They who in July do wed
Must labor always for their bread.
Whoever wed in August be,
Many a change is sure to see.
Marry In September's shine,
Your living viii be rich and fine.
II in October you do marry
Love will come, but riches larry.
II you wed IN bleak November,
only Joy will come remember.
When DEFENDERS SHOWS fall fast,
Marry and true love will last.
Another version runs as follows:
Married in January's hoar and rlme,
Widowed you'll be before your time
Married in Tebruary's sleety weather,
Life you'll tread in tune together.
Married when March winds shrill and roar,
Your home will be or foreign shore.
Married meath Aprirs changeful skies,
checkered path before you lies.
Married when bees DER Mays blossoms nit
around your board will sit

The Ice Trust Unscathed.

Nobody guilty Of the conspiracy
known as the ice trust was hurt by
the verdict found In the supreme
court after a trial Of two months.
The American Ice Company, a corpor-
alton, was convicted, and the fine OF
S. 900 inflicted by the court will be
taken out of the company's treasury.
It is no more than a fleabite to the
monopoly that controls the market
for a great commodity. No individual
sharing in the combination in re-
straint of trade has been damaged
either in pocket or in pride. In no
way does the conviction tend to hinder
the pursuance of the illegal business
of the icetrust.
Such a prosecution does no more
than waste the time Of judges, juries
and lawyers, and cost the community
more in actual cash than the amount
Of the fine-and all Of this without &C
complishing anything whatever to-
ward destroying a hateful monopoly.

stration that crimes cannot be dis
couraged without i%mprisoning Grim.

Tariff Lesson from Lumber.

Reports Of 1921 sawmills show an
output during 1908 Of lumber, lath
and shingles to the value of $541,645,-
GAO. BY virtue Of the high tariff on
imports the lumber kings were per-
mitted to charge for their product
something like $50,00o.0o0 more than
its fair selling price.
Because of the opportunity to reap
unearned profits by reason of spe-
cial tariff privileges the lumber mag
mates increased their output to the
limit Of their powers. They were
anxious to seize the booty which the
tariff authorizes them to wrest from
every man who must use their prod.
ucts.
This reckless devastation Of forests
has reached such a point that the
country faces a lumber famine, The
visible supply is nearing its end. Can
ada's vast forests lie right at our
doors. Yet a high tariff keeps us from
buying her lumber, and forces us to
pay American lumbermen exorbitant
prices.

ate Leader-How the Cheat
Was Framed Up.

Inc scheme of changing classified
uons by which Senator Aldrich, Con-.
sressman Boutell and their friends in
the service of the trusts managed to
secure tricky tariff schedules for the
pioht OF their New England mill boss
ciiehts is now pretty generally under
s.ood. Perhaps the public is not so
clearly Informed of their sugar "joker."
When the Aldrich-Taft tariff was
under discussion at Washington the
sugar trust had just compromised for
large sums of money one charge of
inert and another of conspiracy. Yet
MI. Aldrich and Mr.. Boutell disregard
ed this and took especial pains to pro-
tect an admitted thief at the expense
OF the American people. Their trick
Is contained In section 216 of the Aid
rich-Taft tariff.
The cheat framed up by these gen.
tlemen lies in the standard fixed as
the dividing line between various quail.
tiles of highly dutiable sugar and
sugar which is taxed lightly. This
standard is fixed by color as mo. 1e
Dutch" a scale that has been out Of
use for half a century. To give it
scientific appearance a lot of polari
scope tests are also provided.
mo. 16 Dutch is a sugar so blacf
that it cannot be used for any purpose
without refining. Therefore the higf
tariff applies to all sugar imports
This is the reason why the brown
sugar of 20 years ago is no longel
available at low prices to the poor
who are forced to use the product O
the sugar trust and contribute to tt
inordinate profits.
Does anyone imagine that sucl
tricks are the honest outcome of hor
est law-making? Does anyone doub
that these fraudulent tariff schedule
were devised and written by suga
trust lawyers and incorporated int
the tariff by the trusts tools in tn
senate and house of representatives

Trusts Still Piundering.

The public fails to perceive that any
decisive victory has been won against
the trusts and corporations. In spite
of court decisions, trusts continue to
do a very profitable business in spite
of laws to regulate freight rates,
freight rates have increased rather
than diminished. The tariff is revised
ostensibly for the benefit of the con-
sumner, but the cost Of living steadily
increases. Wall street continues to
exploit the people. The country is
prosperous again after the Roosevelt
panic, but. prosperity has served only
to intensity political dissatisfaction.

nations for commissioner Of internal

Aldrich-Cannon Republicans to the
mild and trimming tariff talk of the

Speaking for the administration, Mr..
MacVeagh boldly proclaimed in Bos-
ton that the Republican party has
changed front on the tariff, and that it
is henceforth to be a party of moder-
ate tariff taxation. The orator made
rather a lame attempt to show that
the Aldrich tariff is a step forward
in the alleged new departure, but
| there is no mistaking the meaning OF
his speech, which is that the admins
tration firmly intends to adhere to the
tariff policy which the president an
nounced during the campaign OF 1908,
