Profits Of Beet Trust.

The beef trust packers de.
clare that during the years
1907, 1908, 1909 and 1910 their
net profits from fresh meat
were only one-eighth of one
cent pound.
In 1907 the retail price of
fresh meat was from 11.8 to 13 9
per cent higher than in 1900,
while the price of cattle declin.
ed in that period from s92.46 to
$81.S. And while dressed beef
was half a cent a pound dearer
in 1910 than in 1909, the price
of beeves was lower, declining
from 50 per hundred pounds in
1909 to $7.55 in 1910.
Anv self-respecting cow, says
the New York World, has the
right to wonder who got the
extra difference between her
price on the hoof and her price
dressed.

making valentines. There were
some very pretty ones made.
Some very pretty drawings

No school was held on Mon.

it was a legal holiday.
All grades are very busy pre-.
pairing programs in celebration
of Lincoln's and WashinRton'a
birthdays.
Monthly tests were given out
this week.
The teachers have received
leaflets containing recitation
which will doubtless help them
a great deal in preparing their
programs.

Eighth Grade Subjects

AS result of the December
1911 pupils final examination,
Supt. Barnes has recently is.
sued diplomas to a class OF
twelve eighth grade pupils
who succedded in completing
all subjects as outlined in the
state Course of Study at that
time. Their names and the
districts in which they have
attended school are as follows;
Angelina Chernich, Mooreton;
Blanche Gallager, Dwight; Mil.
dred Wedan, Eagle; Minnie
Johnson. J Eagle; Ida Paulson
Eagle; Henry Gre)l, Colfax
Katie Fox, DeVillo; Sarah An.
derson, Center; Clara Bakken,
Abercrombie; NJ arie Huey,
Wyndmere Special; Elan Car.
ey, Wyndmere; Clifford Harff,
Grant.
Twenty-six of the thirty.six
common school districts of the
county were represented by
candidates for final marks in
one or more subjects of study,
the total number of applicants
being 254. Wyndmere Special
was also represented and furn.
ishes one of the graduates.
The small number receiving
diplomas 10 explained by the
fact that practically all who
wrote we're not attempting to
complete all subjects, bat only
those subjects in which they
have completed the work az
outlined in the Course of Study.
It is hoped that the major part
of these 242 pupils who have
passed in some of the subjects,
may be able to finish at the
March and May examinations
and receive their diplomas.

Mclean, mother of the baby

q $35. 600 dinner to so guests at
Washington, the nations capi-
toll.
The hostess at this banquet
wore diamonds that actually
cost more than half q million
dollars. In her hair was dis.
played the famous" Hope dia.
mond, which cost $4,000, and
at her throat another widely
celebrated gem. "Star of the
East" which was even larger
than the Hope diamond.
The cost per plate at the Nc.
Lean dinner was 500. One
item in the expense was 1000
yellow lilies imported from
abroad ut a cost of 81 each.
One of the highest paid mill
wo.kers at Lawrence would
have to work "a years to re.
ceive the cost of that banquet.
The earnings of a dozen Law
renee workers for half a cen.
tury would not have purchased
the gems worn by Mrs. Nc.
Lem. A Lawrence worker
would have to labor 20 years to
pay for the yellow lilies alone.
The strike of the men, wo
men and children at Lawrence,
and the 500 a plate dinner in

ample of conditions existing
under our system of excessive
protection in the year of on.

Wood, the head of the wooleu
trust, whose employees are now
on strike at Lawrence, was ar.

Fortunes which make it pos.
sible for one woman to wear a

diamonds at one time, and
which enable a man to possess
so many automobiles he cannot
keep track of them, necessarily
come through the power to

which the common people
must have in order to live.
