Texas Woman Does Not Know Whether
She Was Robbed or Dropped
the Money.

Mrs. Mabel Mills, wife of a wealthy
land owner of San Antonio, Tex, lies
under the care Of physicians in an Ey-
anston CID hospital, after either hav-
ing lost or been robbed Of about SAB
500 in that city Saturday night Mrs
Mills Is suffering from a wound in the
back of her head. but is uncertain
whether she was felled BY a blow and
robbed, or whether she tainted and sus-
tanned the injury by a fail to the side
walk.
1t is one of the strangest stories
that ever came to my attention. - said
Chief of Police Shaffer of Evanston.
''There seems to be about six different
mysteries that have to be solved in
stead Of one. According to informa-
tion obtained by the police, Mrs. Mills
went to Chicago from san Antonio less
than a week ago and registered at
leading hotel. Shortly before noon Sat
urday she is supposed to have drawn
| $4,000 from a bank, and on returning
! to the hotel to have given the money
into the care Of the cashier receiving
a receipt therefor. When she returned
for the money short time later, it is
said, she discovered that she had lost
| the receipts, but as she had made her
/ self known to the cashier she succeeded
/ IN getting the money without trouble
In the afternoon she went to Evans
/ ton to attend a dinner at the home of
ia friend, carrying the 50, 000 in a
/ large brown handbag, a part of it being
IN small purse inside the larger bag.
After the dinner Mrs. Mills started

were summoned. The latter discovered
the smaller purse containing 1880 al
their home. Later the handbag was
found on the sidewalk. opened. and
with the money missing.
The police are unable to understand
why Mrs. Mills rode beyond her station
on her return to Evanston and why the
scene Of her mishap should have been
several blocks from the house at which
she applied for aid. That she had the
money was established BY evewitnesses
A theory Is that Mrs Mills was dazed
by fall and wandered away without
looking for her handbag, which was af
terward found and rified
1t was said at the hospital that Mrs
Mills is suffering from conclusion of the
brain and that her condition is. serious
She also Is i'll from exposure The
, physician who attended her said thai
he did not believe she could have sus
tanned such an injury by falling.

Sermon on Divine Love.

Rev. +. S. Harrison gave an ex-
cellent sermon Sunday morning from
the text, Having loved his own
which were in the world, He loved
them unto the end. - John I3: l. He
said these words let us know the in
nermOst thoughts of Jesus i'm the SUI
preme crisis of his life When Jesus
came into that upper room with his
mind full of the most exalted thoughts
he found his disciples quarreling as
to who should be the greatest. When
our Lord was about to die for them
He said that there was not one of the
company ready to stoop to wash the
feet of the other, therefore He per
formed the courtesy as it was one of
the customs of that period. Often par
ents are heard to tell their children.
80 If you are good, Jesus will love YOU.
This is not the teaching Of the scrip
lures. The divine love is unmerited.
The redeemed has to say, 4" He loved
me. The love OF God for sinners
is the ground of all our hope
The love Of Jesus for his own was
tested by his knowledge of his ap-
preaching death. Every step on the
way of death was a trial of his love.
On several occasions He might have
ended his agony, but He meekly bore
his sufferings to emphasize his love
for all. He died because, having loved
his own, which were in the world, He
loved them unto the end. In this we
may also take comfort for his death
was not only for his own then, but as
much for us. He knew that He came
from God; the mystery of Himself was
plain to Him. What of our love for
Him? All these considerations should

THE INDUSTRIAL WAR

Washington, Aug. 19.-Interesting
testimony as to efficiency and wages
was contributed during the tariff de-
bate by Senator Thomas of Colorado.
The lead schedule was under consid-
Grafton. There was the usual argu-
ment about protecting the wages of
the poor workingman and a COM
parisOn made between mine wages d.
Of the poor wOrkingman and a COM
parison made between mine wages
in Mexico and the United States.
Senator Thomas said:
my experience teaches me that a
2O-cent labOrer will always bring
forth a 20-cent product, and that a
half-starved and iIl-fed laborer will
prove in the end far more expensive
than a well-fed and well-paid lab
orer."
The senator also produced figures
which showed that the cost of mining
a ton of lead ore in India, where 20
cents a day is paid in wages, amounts
to just twice the cost of mining a ton
in the United States, where the wages
are $3.50 day. This is due to the
fact that the American miner pro-
dUces just twelve times as much ore
as the East Indian.

HINTS FOR PACKING FRUIT
Twin Falls Fruit Growers Association
Receives Book of Instructions.

Valuable information for fruit grow
ers is contained in little booklet re-
Gently issued by the Idaho-Oregon
Fruit Growers association. The book
let is entitled Suggestions and Tables
for Fruit Growers" and contains ad-
vice on pruning, thinning, spraying,
picking, packing and grading The
booklet may be obtained from the Of
flee of the organization at Payette and
has also been mailed out to all mem
bers of the Twin Falls Fruit Growers
association, affiliated with the Idaho
Oregon association.
In addition to the booklet, the asso-
citation is sending out the following
| timely hints to fruit growers:
| Packing-A note of warning to all
district managers, as well as to all
who pack their own fruit. In clean
ing up the pack there is necessarily
an accumulation of odds and ends, all
kinds and sizes. In packing this, care
should be used in marketing the boxes
containing this mixed stuff, irregu-
lar or seconds since failure to dc
this may cause serious loss to the
whole car, for. if the buyer opens one
of these boxes suspicion is at once at
tached to the whole car and in some
cases has caused the car to be re-
jected.
| Name on Box-Again let US urge the
| grower not to stamp his name on the
label end of the box. In conversation
with Mr.. Shifferle, our Omaha repre-
sentative, he said, please keep the
name off the label end of the box,
and the writer, in drawing him out in
support of his plea, found the effect
of such practice from the sales end, tc
be: II more than one name appears
suspicion is at once aroused and If the
car contains apples from half dozen
different growers the buyer general,
demands sample box to be opened
/ from each grower. Please use your
Grower No" instead Of your name

verse end of the box where nothing
but the Packer No." appears
Label-The magnitude of the apple
business will soon reach such proper
lions that the individual growers
brand will be lost in the grand con-
course and we feel much better judg-
ment will be exercised if we all unite
in using our 10 label, which will
soon be established and repeat orders

pack of all irregularities and place
before the buying public grade and
pack that cannot be excelled in the
northwest. Beyond question of doubt
the buyers will become more and more
critical and if our brand 10 is to,
mean, what we all have hopes it will.
every grower must strive for that
point of excellence which is a little
higher than anyone else has reached.
