NEWS NOTES FROM
THE ROMEO RECORD

Chris Haynie and Alb Jack re-
turned the first of the week from
their prospecting trip to Old Mex.
leo on which they started the lat
ter part of January in company
with Jack Gilliland and J. F.
Thomas. The chief object of the
trip was to search for a lost
gold mine. The Manassa party
attempted to follow the Indian
boys map, but it must have been
incorrect, as they never saw a
sign of the mine they were search
ing for. They did considerable
prospecting and discovered what
they believe to be a very rich
silver mine. Gilliland and Thomas
have gone to the mineral office
to obtain title to this mine and
are expected home in a few days.
II boys will develop the mine
as soon as arrangements can be
made and some of them expect
to return to that country.
Z. S. Christensen returned this
morning from trip to Salt Lake.
He reports Utah looking fine,
almost as good as the San Luis
Valley.
Edward Wheeler, of Romeo,
and Miss Lila Ross, of Albuquer-
que, n. NJ, were married Sunday
afternoon at the home of Mr..
Swearingen, east of Romeo, by
Rev. r. F. Galbreath. The young
couple will make their home at
Romeo.
Glen Huffaker is getting ready
to build a five room house on
his eighteen acre tract between
Romeo and Manassa.

DEATH OF D. n. COIN.

d. NJ. Coin, whose illness was
mentioned in these columns last
week, died late Saturday after
noon, and the funeral was held
Monday at 2 o'clock at the Meth
odist church. Reverend Minaymer
conducted the service. Mr.. Coin
was a member of the NJ w. A
lodge carrying $1,000 insurance
and that order conducted the
services at the cemetery. He
was 80 years of age, coming
here from North Carolina about
eleven years ago. He was mar
ried at Manassa seven years ago
and leaves a wife and two child
rem, George, aged five and Luz
ellie, not quite two. He was pres
ident of the La Jara Turquois
mines and has worked a great
deal in them. He had been work
ing there for the past two or
three months, up to the time he
was taken sick, following a small
gold vein which he believed would
increase in value with depth.
This hard labor likely had some
thing to do with fastening his
death but as medical authorities
differ as to the nature of his all
ment it is impossible to say. Mr..
Coin was member of the Pres
byterian church and for a long
time superintendent of Sunday
school, he was an earnest chris
tian, a good citizen, a kind hus-
band and father. Four brothers
live here and other relatives in
the east. The family have the
sympathy of the entire commun-
ity.

On next Friday afternoon the

last entertainment of the term.
This society has given many pleas

During the first half of the year,
Fac Smith, attended to the prepar-

last half, Ollie Engle, has been in
charge of the program committee.
Both the pupils and teachers are
under many obligations to these
young ladies for their untiring
efforts to make these entertain
ments success
The 9th grade play, "Topsy
Turvy," is heavy play and if they
succeed in mastering it. they will
certainly be entitled to great
deal of credit We feel confident
that they will master it in time to
present it to the public before
school closes. However, it is going
to require a great deal of close
study and honest, earnest practice.
We are unable to say just what the
price of tickets will be, but it is
to be hoped that practically every
one will buy ticket and attend
thus placing the stamp of approval
on home effort. Get your money
ready and when the young folks
come around, buy a ticket. You'll
get your moneys worth.

Woodrow Wilson, governor of New
Jersey, in a recent address before the
Illinois Manufacturers association
said:
Business is the economic service of
society for profit. There are two part
ners in it, the business concern itself
and the public Politics is the adjust
ment of all affairs to the common in
terest
THE trouble with business in this
recent period of extra ordinary eXpan-
sion has been too much exploitation
too little regard for the permanent in
terests of society and of all concerned
1t will not do to exploit the public. 1t
will not do to dominate markets and
prices.
ut will not do either to make of the
wOrkingman a mere instrument in
stead of a partner. There must be
very real partnership between capital
and labor if modern business is to be
put upon it's right footing"

The United States Motor company
is one of the concerns manipulated by

Grilliths, tell of the complete break
down of this profit sharing system as
tried in the great shipbuilding yards
of Sir Christopher Furness, who in
1908 took about 5000 of his employees
into copartnership with him. The men
paid for their shares out of their wages
and were guaranteed 4 per cent re-
turn on the amount of their investment
in addition to a share in the profits
after paying the ordinary shareholders
5 per cent. Finding that the actual
result was merely TO curtail the power
of their unions to protect their wages

to discontinue their partnership" with

What Better Wages Mean.

"Unfitness means low wages, low
wages mean insufficient food. and in
sufficient food means unfitness for
work, so that the vicious circle is com
plete."
This is what Rountree calls the
vicious circle of poverty"
MAY we not, however, say con
verscly," writes Frederick Amy in
the Survey, that increased income
through better wages means better
food and quarters; these mean better
strength and courage; these so, instead
of an endless chain of poverty, we may
have an endless chain of progress?"
