A woman stood in front of a
downtown store, a woman well
dressed perhaps just bit too we'll
dressed. Her clothes were of the
ultra fashionable, her hat one of
those enormities which the millin'
ers delight in perpetrating.
Her clothing attracted the atten-
ton, but it was her face which at
tracted the attention of the men. 1t
was not good face.
Bold, braZen, powdered and
painted, it bore the Indispensable
mark of the woman of the under
world. 1t told to all who might read
that he woman was a female harry
in search of her prey.
AS she stood there before the
store window her thoughts were far
away from the beautiful silks and
satins and ribbons which were ex-
hibited.
Like the cat at the mouse hole,
she was watching and waiting.
ooh, isn't it beautiful suddenly
exclaimed a feminine voice, and
the woman turned in surprise that
any of her sex should address her.
Standing beside her she saw a
young maiden who was the very. an
tithesis of herself. No paint or pow
der hid the maiden bloom of those
cheeks, no world weary look
dimmed the sparkle of those eyes
The girl who had addressed her was
the breathing spirit of wholesome
health and purity.
Surprised out of herself by being
thus addressed, the woman replied
almost unconsciously, why, yes
they are pretty
"Pretty!" exclaimed the girl in
surprise. "Why, they are simply
gorgeous. l don't think l ever saw
anything more beautiful" And then
carried away by her enthusiasm
the girl went on to tell of her long
ing for the beautiful things of life
and, drawn out in spite of herself
the woman was soon chatting mer
rily with the innocent maid, forget
ting the noisome business which
had called her to the streets.
And so they stood there, the
woman of the world, and the maiden
of heavenly purity. The soiled dove
and the clean one.
Then the idyl was shattered

iarly to the woman, and the girl
glanced up in surprise she saw for
the first time her companions face
Despite her innocence, despite
her lack of knowledge of the world
those clear, truth seeing eyes read
the brand of shame and she shrank

What do you think of this law?
This question also was put to
some of the Spokane wives.
Mrs. Harry w. Smith, better
known by the Spokane public as
Miss Jessie Shirley, thinks there
can be no set rule or law govern
ing money matters between hus.
band and wife. "Those things"
said Miss Shirley, should be set
tied to the satisfaction of each man
and woman.
"If a man earns only limited
salary and his wife wishes an al.
lowance, l think it is a very salts
factory way of settling matters. She
then has the privilege and pleasure
of saving her money or spending
it as she wishes.
Il do believe, however, that the
wife should be made to feel that
the money earned belongs to her
as much as to her husband, and
they should each one have an equal
right to the use of 1t.
There are many men who turn
their salaries over entirely to theiI
wives, because they feel that they

St. Paul, MIMI, July 2e.-The fruit
crop of the west, the greatest in it's
history, is beginning to move to mar
ket. From now on until the latter part
of September the refrigerator cars
bearing the fruit to eastern markets,
some of which will cross the seas, will

It is estimated that one of the trans
continental lines alone will handle be-
tween 4,500 and $500 cars of fruit,
about three times as much as last sea-
son.
While Minnesota and some of the
surrounding states have suffered Sc
verely on account of late frosts, those
to the westward, particularly Wash
ington, never had a more favorable
season for the growth of fruit.
Last yea the western states expert
enced late frosts which did great dam

Mrs. Anderson is an advocate of the
great farmers cooperative movement,
which is sweeping the country, espe.
cially In the great grain states. The
state of Iowa alone having 1926 farm.
ers' cooperative companies, which buy
and sell grain, stock and lumber. In
the state alone more than $50, 0OO, 900
worth of business was done last year.
AS far Is is known Mrs. Anderson
is the only woman doing lecture work
for this Organization, and being a farm
woman, is heartily in sympathy with
the movement. Mrs. Anderson deliv.
ers addresses at Fourth of July, Deco

She is a member of the editorial staff
Of the American Cooperative Journal,
one of the greatest organizations OF
the cooperative movement published
in this country.
Mrs. Anderson was born in Topeka,
Kan, August Is, 1879, but moved to
IOWA at an early age, where she
has since resided. She is a graduate
of the Eagle Grove high school and a
rural teacher. She was married while
quite young to "a farmer, who died

the campaign was conducted for the
purpose Of securing a husband, but
she thinks it was rather an expensive
way to find a husband, and knows OF
no man who is worth hiring an auto

of the fact that wages paid women
teachers and other lines of work is
not adequate to support a family.

Is MADE IN THE CHICAGO
TRIBUNE.
MORE BRIBERY CHARGES
Sensational Story Of an Attempt ia
Buy the Election of Hopkins
Before the Election Of
Lorimer.

Chicago, July %. The Tribune to-
day prints a statement hat an at
tempt was made previous to the
election Of VIM. Lorimer as United
States senator to purchase seventeen,
democratic votes at $4,000 a vote to
secure the reelection Of Senator AL
bert ]. Hopkins.
The story comes on top of the re-
cent luncheon where Roger Sullivan,
the democratic national committeeman
for Illinois and representatives Of the
ex-governor, fired pointed remarks at
each other.
On this occasion, Sullivan is quoted
as saying:
Why don't you fellows look into
what Albert J.. Hopkins was trying
to do at Springfield for four months?'
The Tribune declares that $685. 600,
was collected to secure the needed
votes. 1t was placed in the hands of
two little known ex-governors and a
block Of votes selected and made ready
for delivery.
1t is alleged that Mr.. Sullivan and
Speaker Shurtleff foiled the plan. The
speaker is said to have told the culprits
that he would. expose the plot from
the chair the moment a democratic
ballot was cast for Hopkins.
Then Sullivan entered the arena. He
arrived at midnight one night and
gathering seventeen about him threat
ened to break every political bone in
their bodies if they voted for Hopkins.
That AIDED 1t.
The Tribune expresses the belief
that the plot was formed without the
knowledge Of Senator Hopkins. The
story is said to have leaked out to
anti-Hopkins republicans and to dem
ocratic leaders through the bablings
Of one of the seventeen, who was re-
joicing at the prospect of "easy
money!"
