VINO are in control of the great in
dustries commonly known as
trusts, are in control of the gov
ernment. The masters of these
soulless corporations "prescribe"
the work for the worker now, and
they not only prescribe the work;
they fix the wages, which, accord
ing to government statistics,
amount to about one-fifth of the
product and they keep the other
four-fifths. Whyp Because they
have the power to do it and they
will neSer surrender this power
until it is taken from them, and
capitalism will never take it from
them. Under Socialism the whole
management of industry will be
put into the hands of the people
through the initiative, referendum
and the power of recall. They
will make mistakes, but on the
whole they will do what is right.

Just q few words to those desir-
ing mason work done of any kind.
The bottom has fallen out of the
prices you used to pay. You can
now have your houses plastered
for 8 cents per yard, two coats,
and your sidewalks, the old style
with Cheap John bottoms and q
top one-half sand and one-half
cement for 7 cts. per square foot or
the better one for about II cents q
foot. That is, made all alike from
the top to the bottom, and no top
to scale off. Get a good one once
and you won't have to build again.
Cellars concreted very reasonable
and other kinds of mason work,
such as stone, brick or concrete
foundations, bungalows, chimneys
and cisterns, so any one can have
q good one and anybody wanting
a square deal call on K. s. Honey
well. r will tell you what 1t is
worth to do your work whether l
do the job or not.

END OF AN OLD SUPERSTITION
lleight of Present New York Buildings
Dlscourages Youngsters There to
Seek Fortune.
Said a New York octogenarian:

Said New York octogenarian:
"The height of buildings In New
York has dealt death blow to an old
superstition that animated many a
country youth who came here to make
his fortune 90 years ago Heaven
knows how they came by the belief,
but most Of those upstate boys came
to the city thinking that if they could
toss coin over house they took a
fancy to at the flrst try, the house
would be theirs some day.
ut was one Of my surest convictions.
and put it to test Immediately aft
er paying for my first meal in New
York. The only money had left was
an old-fashioned three-cent piece With
that in my hand walked around look
ing for a desirable piece Of property.
Pretty soon corner lot on which
stood two-story-and-ahalf brick
house took my eye.
Il had practiced coin throwing In
the country, SO let my three-cent
piece go for all 1t was worth over the
front Of the house and ran around to
the back to see where 1t landed it
went clean over. knew then that that
house and lot would be mine in due
time, and sure enough they were. Peo,
pie don't woo fortune by Tipping coins
these days. The fellow whose success
depends upon tossing a three-cent
piece over the Singer building would
be In pretty bad fix"

Loss of Pilot Knob Lake.
One Of the Most Attractive Features of
the Ozarks SaUept Away By Flood.

Ed. Register-No doubt, the sew
eral hundred people who. visited
the once beautiful Pilot Knob
Lake, last Sunday, had a feeling
of deep regret at the loss of one
Of the most attractive spots in this
section of our country which was
almost entirely destroyed by pos
sibly the heaviest rain, on Satur.
day night before, that ever fell in
this section, which resulted in a
torrent of water sweeping down
the Valley and carrying with il
the concrete dam which held the
lake.
This has been one of the most
popular and we'll known places in
or around Arcadia Valley and is
visited annually by hundreds of
tourists as we'll as by almost every
inhabitant of Pilot Knob, Ironton
and Arcadia.
Many happy days were spent by
picnic and fishing parties, who
wish to spend a quiet day in boat
ing or drinking in the refreshing
scenes of nature in the balmy
breeze or health giving sunshine
But in a few moments all this
was swept away and nothing is
left now but many acres of barren,
desolate land to greet the eye of
the passer-by.
Should it be built up again?
Will it be built up again? If the
sentiment expressed by the throng
who visited the place Sunday,
could have been converted into la
Dor and concrete, the work and
dam would now be completed.
But the last question is the most
vital, and the one that gets results
Many commercial interests are
dependent upon the attractions ot
the Valley and every citizer
should feel an interest and see
that none of them are lost, and es.
pecially as this is spring time and
we must keep up the enterprise
already under headway. AS to
the best plan of replacing this
loss, am not able to say just a
this time. Gould not some citizen
better acquainted with the situa'
ton, offer a suggestion that woult
get action and results at oncei
Surely, something can and should
be done.
Very respectfully,

ADHERED TO HER BARGAIN
Bride Hat Own Opinion of Marriage
as Business Transaction, but Far
son Got His Fee.

The Rev. l.. 3. Bates. long associat-
ed with the East Boston Bethel, tells
in his Wonder Book of an anus
ing marriage ceremony performed by
his father. This is hir account of it:
About nine o'clock one night the
old parsonage on Cape Cod was ap-
preached by a man and a woman in
a "one horse shay" Hearing the
wheels, Father Ba.es went to the
door, to see coming up the walk a
buxom lass of two hundred pounds or
so, followed by very little man.
With a giggle she announced,
We've come to be married, parson,
haven't we, BiL?" An energetic
nudge succeeded in eliciting the de-
sired affirmation from bill"
The parson exclaimed The license.
and proceeded to business.
please join your right hands," he
said. Dearly beloved. you are gath
cred here for the purpose Of holy mat
rimony. Do you" but he was here
interrupted by the bride:
Say, parson. before you go any
further would you mind taking your
pay In dried apples?"
Being assured that dried apples
we're current coin with parsons, she
allowed him to proceed:
Madam, do you" but again he
was interrupted.
Say, parson, the apples are not
ripe yet, but you shall have them
without fail"
He assured her that her honesty
was appreciated, and proceeded with
the ceremony without further inter
ruption.
Two months later bushel Of the
best dried apples was hauled by the
bride herself to the parsonage door.
II don't know as he was worth It,,
she said, with twinkle in her eye,
'but a bargain is bargain for all
that youths Companion.

cossach and Saint.

Paris contemporary by way OF
illustration as to how ONE persons
discharge their religious obligations
relates a story of a Cos =: who was
overtaken by terrible storm OF
thunder and lightning. In his terror
he prayed to the saint to save him and
promised II only he once more
reached his home he would sell his
horse and the proceeds should be
spent in candles In honor OF the Saint.
The saint, pleased with SO generous
an offer. stayed the storm and the
Cossack reached home in safety.
This is how he discharged his vow:
The next day he went to the market
with cock and a horse. His method
Of sale was this: He would only sell
the two together, the horse at 30
kopecks (about Is pence) and the cock
at zoe rubles (about a2O). After q
time the CoEsack found a purchaser
on these terms and faithful to his
vow the Cossack devoted Is pence to
the purchase Of candles for the altar
Of bis patron saint.
