was lacking one yard of goods to COM
plete her suit, and urged her to go at
once and match the piece. She hur-
ried to get on her hat to rush off to
the store, when the girl with the $500
material, unlimited, volunteered to ac-
company her. But the P 3. suddenly
changed her mind and felt sure there
would be none of the cloth left in
stock We'll. les goan look insisted
the other. The Proud One did her
best to shake her, but it was a waste
of energy; she chung to her with such
interested devotion, that there was no
escape. When they reached the store,
the seIfsame man who made the sale
of the material for the suit awaited
them at the counter. The purchaser
handed out the sample to be matched,
reiterating her opinion that the goods
was doubtless all gone. on, no,
answered the salesman, there is some
of that left. I remember I sold it to
YOUR mother at a sale last winter when
the goods went for $1.25 a yard. The
original price is $500" Then the
affectionate companion of the stuck
up one felt that she had discharged
with satisfaction the duty that was
plainly laid upon her. So she smiled
a deep. sweet smile, and mentally re-
cited the event to those who waited
for her at the shop. Truly girls are
sweet darlings, and they have such
loving ways that endear them to each
other.

A number of the girls who make
their own clothes at the sewing school
were exchanging condolences a few
days ago on the price of the broad
cloth in their suits. There is one girl
of the circle who always puts the fig
ure on the price of her clothes a
little higher than any of the others,
and so the rest of this band of young
needlewomen have decided that she is
stuck up and needs some extra at
tention of the gentle kind that girls
know how to give to their dearest
enemies. When the talk about the
price of broadcloth came up one of
the girls said that her material was
$500 per; whereupon the Proud Beau

PRESIDENT SCHURMAN ON
HIGH COST OF LIVING

WATERFOWL, n. Y, Feb. las an
explanation of increasing cost of living,
President ]. G.. Schurman of Cornell
University declared before the New
York State Grange here tonight that
the consumption of farm products is
)utrunning their production. President
Schurman said:
The population of the country is
increasing. The consumption of farm
products is outrunning their production
and, as our unoccupied lands are ex-
hausted, it is costing more to produce
articles of food than formerly
Look for example at beef. Cattle
formerly were produced in vast num-
bers and at comparatively small cost.
on great ranches. These ranches, how
ever, have been taken up by home
steaders. Ranching is, therefore, rap
idly becoming a thing of the past
More and more, in the future, cattle
will be supplied to the market from
small herds owned by farmers. And
meanwhile. we stand between the era
of ranching, which is passing away
and the era of stock raising Oh farms.

CLERKS ALL WALK OUT
Recent Purchaser of Dayton Store
Makes Accusations-CIerks Strike.


DAYTON, Wash, Feb. 1-(Spec-
al.)-Because they claim the man
ager accused them of 'crookedness,"
employees of Jarnagins merchandise
store, one of the largest general
stores in Dayton, struck Saturday
night and will not return to work
under any consideration. it is said.
Every man and woman on the job,
from the head bookkeeper to the cash
boy, refused to work longer for Jar
nagin, who recently came to Dayton
from Kennewick and bought the stock
Of the H. L. Hines company.
According to the striking clerks,
Jarnigan has intimated from time to
time that dishonesty was the para
mount thought in the minds of store
employees, and his vigilance and &C
tions, they say, became intolerable.
An indignation meeting was held Sat-
urday afternoon and the force, headed
by Frank Tewalt, head clerk, walked
to the managers desk one by one and
handed in their designations. Some of
the employees have been with the firm
for years. Frank Tewalt, the head
clerk, has been with Jarnagin and his
successors for six years and is con-
Sidered one of the most competent
and affiable retail statesmen in the
city. Jarnigan went to Walla Walla
today, it is said, to secure clerks.

DISCIPLINE IN THE
HOOKING SCANDALS

NEW YORK, Feb. 2-It is expected
that the governing committee of the
stock exchange will take action today in
the Hooking scandal, which grew out
of the recent collapse of the pool in
Columbus & Hooking Coal and Iron, as
result of which that stock slumped
from SO to 25 and three stock ex-
change firms were suspended for in
solvency.
Hugh F. Criss Of Roberts, Hall &
Crisis, whose firm failed after his pur-
chases of Hooking Coal & Iron were
repudiated by those whom he re-
garded as his principals, appears to
be optimistic and expresses himself
as of the opinion, that everything
would come out all right" At the Of
fees of his lawyers, Thompson, Van
derpoel & Freedman, great disappoint-
ment is expressed that stock ex-
change authorities have not made pub
lie their decisions as to the RESPONSE
bility for the orders which Mr.. Crisis
executed.
eff they decide that Criss was re-
sponsible, he is probably insolvent,"

SUCCESS DUE
To AMERICA
OF IRISH LEAGUE
SENDS TELEGRAM COMMEND
ING ORGANIZATION.
SAYS HELP FROM THIS COUNTRY
INSTRUMENTAL IN WINNING
ELECTION

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1.-Micheel J.
Ryan, national president of the Unit
ed Irish league, tonight received a ca
blegram from John E. Redmond, chair
man of the Irish parliamentary party,
in which Redmond says the success
of the party was due to the magnifi-
cent help from the United Irish league
Of America.
The cablegram follows
The election is now over and, thanks
to the magnificent help from the United
Irish league of America. we have been
able 10 meet and repel VIGOROUSLY a
combined attack, unionist and fact
ional.
Not one nationalist seat was lost
10 unionist attack and when national
SITS seats were contested by unionists
the nationalist majorities were in ev
cry case largely increased.
"An unnatural combination between
factionalists and unionists has caused
temporary loss of a few seats, but
the nationalist party, thstanding,
came back II seats strong and more
united and, therefore, stronger than
for years.
Features of the election are first,
the enormous power exercised b. the
Irish vote in Great Britain. The
Irish voted more solidly and welded
more influence than at any previous
election. Second, the immense impress
sion made on public opinion by the
demonstration of American cheer, sup
port and sympathy for the Irish par
ty. Third, for the first time this
election shows clearly a British major
ity for home rule, and against the
lords veto, of so votes, not counting
the representation from Ireland.
THE great results are due in large
measure to the prompt and most gen
erous response of the United Irish
league of America to the appeal made
last December
