ment for social and Industrial Justice
to be achieved in spirit OF brotherly
good will and of the broadest social

miners lusty throats.
When he came from the mine he
wore his regulation mining garb and

be very weak the rescuers had a

laughingly waved it aside and walked

Law Into Effect.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 4.-People
expecting to find American stores sell
ing goods cheaper right away because
of the new tariff are going to be dis
appointed, said Representative Under
wood, one of the authors of the bill.
1t will be many months before the ef-
ent to the consumer, said he. Until
the stocks of goods now on hand,
bought under the old tariff, are sold
no reduction will be in effect.
Washington, d. c., Oct. 4-Secretary
McAdoo of the treasury department
today began developing a plan for
the enforcement of the tariff law,
which is declared to be the lowest in
the history of the country except the
Walker tariff of 1916. 1t is estimated
one hundred million dollars worth of
goods now in bond will soon be with
drawn and duty paid under the new
law.
Secretary Bryan today endorsed the
new tariff as the best since the Civil
war, and predicted early passage of
the currency bill He said the Wilson
bill of 20 years ago was compelled to
carry a heavy burden that would not
fall on the present bill Notification of
the income tax portion of the Wilson
| law reduced the governments income
till Indebtedness increased, and this
threw odium on the bill, which, togeth-

some of the best features, robbed the
democratic party of the credit and
benefit that otherwise would have
come to IT.

of mushrooms are raised each year.
A square foot. of grounds produces
more. than a pound of mushrooms,
and Smith sells them to st. Louis

Celery is transplanted in the cave
for bleaching, where it attains per-

and attracts high prices.
When. Smith first learned that he
couldn't farm his place like a regular
farm, and decided to farm in the cave,
he had to clear" his land. Instead
