liant speakers of the spring at the
Friday Morning club, when she was
proud to term herself one of the $780,
900 of working women in the United
States. Her address on 1.-THE Woman
in Industry was brimful of helpful
suggestions and contained many ref
erences to her own experiences in the
various trades in which women labor
At the time she gave that address
Miss Bachelor promised her friends
here that she would return in the au-
tumn and establish herself here, and
then she would go more fully into the
conditions surrounding the working
women in California. She said there
was much interesting material to be

AS to the goVernorship, Senator

night, gave out d statement In which
he declared that he was the candi-
date of no element. individual or
faction
Il recognize" he added, that sew
eral so-called leaders are for anybody
else"
Wade H. Ellis, chairman of the state
executive committee, told tonight what
he believed should be Incorporated in
the platform. He says that it should
contain IAN unqualified Endorsement
of President Taft and his administra-
ton and that it should approve the
Payne bill. not because it is perfect,
but because it removes excessive duties
under the DingIey law"
The active cdhdidates for governor
are Judge Brown, Warren G. Harding
of Marion, former lieutenant COVER

INSTITUTE WORK


Extracts from the address of Mrs.
Elizabeth Mills at the institute held
in Anaheim.
In the thirty-seven years since the
organization of the Woman's Christian

cause. People grow interested in re-
suits; when they hear and see our
working force, our forty-slX depart
ments supervised by earnest, Christian
women who never know defeat where
the betterment of humanity and the
safety of the home is the issue, they
take notice. These departments give
every woman a chance to heIp. FRANCES
Willard. our sainted leader, SAID: II

en-, to uplift, to comfort" That, my
sister and my brother, means you anu
me- What a blessed thought that we
"belong'-that we are part or the
over one-half million workers in TINS
campaign for God, home and human
ity. We remember again what
Frances said: 81 am but one, Dut l
am one; l can do something; What
can do ought to do what l ought
to do, by the grace of God Will DO.
In every woman there is, believe a
desire to help spread Chr1sts gospel
to the worlds widest rim, but she
lacks self confidence, as no two people
can be approached alike on any SUB
iect. Paul knew this when he said:
R"I am willing to be all things TO all

But Paul never compromised principle

1t is our duty as members or this
union to arouse an interest in the
work among our neighbors through
our own enthusiasm. In order to do
this l would recommend, first: Do not
allow any small thing to keep you
from the regular meeting. Read,
study and prepare for it. l would rec
ommend that each member select dur
ing the week some item from the daily
papers bearing on the uplifting and
reformatory work of the world and
give from three to five minutes talk
upon it, or select some prominent wo-
man and in few brief words give

and the new members who would be
attracted to your meetings"

Big Fire at Benton.

A fire which did damage to APP
proXimately $500, 900, DESTROYED
sixty buildings and made thirty
families homeless, wiped out the
business and residential section OF
Benton, Columbia county on the
Fourth. An exploding fire cracker
thrown among the straw in the barn
of George Crossley, was the cause
of the fire. The fire broke out
about 3 O'Clock Monday afternoon
and it was not until late at night,
after aid had been sent from Blooms
burg that the flames were under
control.
The town of Benton has no fire
protection and aid was summoned
from Bloomsbury. Considerable
delay was ctused in getting assist
ance because of the destruction of
the telephone exchange. Crazed
by the fire Mrs. Reas Hess, an aged
residence of the town, rushed back
into her burning home after neigh
bors had succeeded once in getting
her out. She was terribly burned
from head to foot and her recovery
is despaired of. All of the home
less families were cared for by
neighbors. Burgess Laubach has
issued a call for a public meeting
on Wednesday night when the
necessity of asking for outside help

EStella Defeated.

Once in days OF modern ball
play came team from far Estella
came to teach Laporte a lesson;
came to keep our town boys guess
in, with their Sonestown man Big
Star Face, paid much wampum for
to help them win from off the
skilled Laportians; win the wreath
of mountain laurels.
Marched they to the field of bat
tie; lined they up for big-bat con-
fiict; confidence they had in Star
Face also in the big Yalelockwood
and the stocky Sonestown Boatman
whom they hired for the conflict.
Thus lined up the mountain ter
rors, eager for the scalps of vict'ry:
Big chief Pennock with the bear
mitt stood behind the bat to catch
EN- as they whirled from the strong
arm of the twirler Muchtwist Bucky.
On the first pad waited Mack who
is also called Muchcrackem, and
at second stood big Bennie, small
in size but big in baseball. Third
was held by Longhit Hinman from
the far off Monroe village while at
short the fine boy Rutter waited
anxious for a liner. 'Mong the
hummocks of the left field was
Carpenter same breed Bucky and
in center stood the maker of bum
ink tracks on big paper. In the
right field was perched Larry eager
for the sight of baseball. Thus
they stood, the great Laportians
ready for to scalp Estella.
Twas long and weary combat,
but twas easy for Laportians,
skilled in all the tricks of baseball,
easy to defeat Estella. Hard they
played, those West End ballists
but their efforts did not pay them
for II scalps by the Laportians
We're passed up to the big score
man. In return the West End
scrappers pulled five scores from
the Laportians; pulled and hauled
before they got them from the husky
mountain players.
Much more could be writ about
it but the time and space were
wasted for It's talked of Ger the
mountain. Oft the story is repeated
in the mammoth fire water wig
vans; talked among the small
papooses at their play in field and
highway, till the fans afar have
heard it and It's passed into a

The Rising Cost of Living. Why
Food and Lumber Are Higher.

In a former paper, the writer
endeavored to show that the higher
prices of meats were mainly caused
by the decrease in the number of
meat producing animals raised in
the United States, as compared
with the increase in population. or
number OF meat consumers. In
the present article he expects to
show that other food stuffs besides
meats, have been soaring upward
in great measure from the same
reasons, of lessened supply and
lumber from the exhaustion of the
forests.
The price of food products in the
United States is established by the
prices prevailing in Europe, and
quantity Sin sight in the ele-
rs, and store houses (Which is
known) and the quantity in
RS hands which is guessed at.
In the period between 1876, and
1886 the average yearly production
OF wheat in the United States was
S.3 bushels for each inhabitant,
young, or old. In. the period be-
tween 1906 and 1908, the average
yearly production had fallen to 10
nus Der capita. There was no
allii,s off in the production per
acre, in the middle, and eastern
states, or in the number of acres
sown; but there has been a break
ing up OF many of the great "bo-
nanza' wheat farmers in the far
west, and a decline in the number
OF bushels raised per acre on them,
because wheat was sown continu-
ously.
The rise in price of thirteen arti-
cles of food and building materials.
Gas stated by the Labor Depart
ment of the United States) average
about 80 per cent, and on 25S other
commodities the average rise was
only 22,S per cent. This seems to
show that more than half the rise
in the thirteen articles was produced
by the lessening of the supplies. and
increased demand.
