WILL YOU HELP THIS GIRL?

There's a girl in town who needs
womanly sympathy, whose need is sore
for the aid and comfort of men and
women, a working girl who is bravely
endeavoring to earn her own living
She is not altogether Well. She tires
in the long hours between the hours of
opening and 6 o'clock. And now her
She must work from morning to near
midnight. She can't quit. She needs
the money Are you willing to help
her.
early. Wait Your turn without i'm
patience and subdue sharp tongue.
The working girls who come out of the
Christmas season broken in health,
nervous worn and weak with the null
uplcity of scourges peculiar to their
sex are your victims. Be as good as
your word Help her.
There are men in the city, men and
boys dreading the season of peace on
earth and good will TO men because
it brings neither peace nor rest for them
but the burden Of a mighty WEAKNESS.
They are carrying your loads It is you
who pile straw upon straw to the
breaking Of men. Sorry. surely you are
sorry in June BE sorry in December.
Don't crowd months work into six
days OF unremitting toll These men
and boys ard working girls and women
are afraid of Christmas. We made
them afraid. we and our selfshness last

before that.
Do it now; and when YOU hear the
belated bells at midnight as some
weary delivery team with its weary
driver staggers past in the night return
thanks that your hands are free of the
blood of the overworked and weary.
Don't moraNze, don't synpathize, but
do it, Spread the Christmas burden Of
agonizing labor over thirty days in
stead of three before you sing Gloria
in Excelsis or tell your children the
story of the manger on Christmas

MIR. HuRpARD's VOTE.


Official figures on iowa congress SIN en-,
emphasize the ma gniffcent endorsement
given by the Eleventh district to its
representative in congress. With the
exception Of the Tenth district where
there was practically no contest, Mr.
Euhhards plurality Of 1892 stands as
the largest in the state. The vote was:
Hubbard 22199: White 14,377
Not only does this figure eclipse the
p,uralities of the other Iowa congress-
men but it goes on record as the great
est vote accorded Mr. Hubbard excent
In 1904. the Roosevelt year. The vote
for congressman in the Eleventh dis

remarkable showing to be accounted
foro The answer is simple. The peo-

those isns. Congressman Hubbard's
record was clear and his position was
well understood. He was In the right.
The convictions OF his constituents
were his own and he stood firmly upon
them. The vote was deserved tri-

ment is expressed that a public man
should die poor. Carlisle, it appears,
had enough to bury him and perhaps
some life insurance. That was all. But
why all this establishment that he failed

1t has not always been explained that
Mr.. Carlisle's mode of life might have
been much improved upon. The simple
cortege and the plain funeral has been
commented upon by some whose only
thought was wonderment that man
who had been high in political influence
and politically powerful should die
poor Too little regret has been ex
pressed over wasted abilities and use

that the man didn't leave anything"
The fact is that too many men die

patronage of political lite. Putting Mr..

A REASONABLE PROFIT.

We got into quite an argument with
one OF our local butchers the other day
as to whether or not the prices at
which dressed beef is sold at block ar
fordetl more than reasonable pront
It came about by US calling at the snop
to select beef roast for Sunday din
ner and having it priced at IL cents
per pound While we were In the shop
a farmer entered for the purpose OK
selling the butcher a couple OF cows Tor
killing purposes and he was offered ~
cents per pound for them II they were
real good ones.
This raised the question in our mind
as to whether or not there was an ur-
req sonable profit being charged Us for
the roast. We were told that the kind
of meat we selected was the choicest
piece of the carcass and that we could
buy a roast for Is cents and even some
rarts as low as 1921 cents per pound.
Even at that the prices look high. They
may not be too high. There may not
be an unreasonable profit in the trade
and as to packed sailed cured. and
other hacking house products we are
inclined to believe that the local dealer
does not reap an unusually largo proht.
But, allowing that beef on the hoof

jim HILLS FORECAST.

The neWSpap erS OF the east and IL
nanciers Interested i'll the buoyancy Of
speculative stock markets have been
for evidence in the commercial affairs
of the day to explain away Jim Hills
r rophesy, that next year would see
slackening of the worlds commerce and
industries. Hill, at a ripe old age and
fortified in his business affairs by rail-
roads that are not in great danger of
attack by financial pirates, is free to
give to the world the benefit of his
power Of prophesy; power upon
which has been built the vast railroad
system connecting ST. Paul with the
Pacific coast, and he has given it out
as his opinion that business next year
must necessarily be little bit slower.
Hill did not mean to say that there
was anything akin to a panic in sight,
simply meant that as he saw the signs
of the day it was apparent that there
must be some retrenchment and re-
form inaugurated In the conduct of
mems business affairs The price of
everything which business men bought
had reached the maximum figure. He
reasons that prices can not forever soar
upwards without finally getting out OF
sight, and it has been the law Of COM
merce and trade for a decline to follow
q period of upward trend. because
when prices reached a turning point at
which men were compelled to quit
buying, the very fact of their enforced
halt in purchasing of itself caused the
decline. Jim Hill has figured that the
price of labor and onlmodities had
reached extravagant figures this year.
He has seen building operations cur
tailed thruout the country during the
last four months of the current calen-
dar year. He has seen that the manu-
facturers Of steel products are at the
present moment in difficulty to main
