REDUCING THE HIGH
 COST OF LIVING

The present day agitation of the problems presented by the
 high cost of living has caused
 many real or would-be experts to spring new theories concern ing the best methods of re- ducing the cost of living upon the public. Some time ago one of the students of Cornell worked out a plan which would enable a person to live on S5 cents a week. Now an ambit- lous New York student of ec. onomics has "gone him one better" by disclosing how a per son could comfortably live on | cents ad ay. Cornmeal, oat- meal and beans form the chiec components of the diet sug- gested and the amount ot food tQ be consumed is limited to Z f-2 ounces of food per meal. The figures given by the orig lnator of the new theory, to prove that this diet would am ply suffice for the needs Of the body, as they contain all the protein, carbohydrates, etc, required by the human system, are quite impressive but scarcely convincing to the average individual.

 Huerta , ordered that Madero
 and Suarez be removed from
 the National Palace to the Pen-
 itentiary under a heavy special guard. They had proceeded
 but short distance when they were attacked by a Liberating Party and the party of guards were overcome. After the fray it was found that both Madero and Suarez were dead. Ma dero had been shot in the back of the head and death was in- stantanious while Suarez had numerous bullet holes through his body. Huerta claims that the Liberating party are re- sponsible but the people are suspicious and fear that it is case of deliberate murder and arec lamering for full inves- tigation. An autopsy has heen held but the result has not been made public and the wives and families of the murdered men are prostrated by the news.

Negroes and Unions.

An interesting and informative discus
sion of the prejudice against negroes
among members of labor unions and the
very widespread prejudice against labor
unions among negroes is contained in an
article by Booker T. Washington in the
current Atlantic Monthly. 1t is based on
a collection of evidence which is Likely
to overthrow the preconceptions of many
as to the likelihood that this prejudice
will remain permanent.
One of the easiest things in the world,
Mr.. Washington remarks. is prophecy,
and there have been a good many pro-
phecies in regard to the negro. Some
have said that there is no future for TIL.
negro because, in the long run, he can
not compete with the white man. Others
say that the future of the negro is dark
because, as soon as it appears that he is
really able to compete with white men
in ordinary forms of labor. racial preJu-
dice will be so intensified that the Negro
will be driven out of the country or COM
PEELED to perform the kind of work that
no white man is willing to do. That the
facts in regard to prejudice are precisely
the contrary, showing that it tends Il
decrease rather than increase when IN

by evidence gathered by Mr.. Washington
from the heads of various LABOR organza

The Maverick Tree.

The maverick tree stood al the edge
of the city woods. It belonged to ~
enc 1t did not even belong TO itself
because. it had no. name. but, perhaps
for that same reason it seemed to be-
long TO everybody. 1t was a low.
scrubby tree with matted, thorny
branches and close foliage. Some
people called It a hlw tree. but others
said that it was not really a haw tree
at all 1t Was just a maverick. The
charms OF the maverick. tree, however,
We're. So many and SO varied that it
was very popular and very happy. Thp
children could reach its lowest branch
es and climb to the highest one. And.
although they saw the children, the
red bird and the blue bird approved
the beauty and convenience of the
maverick tree, and trusted to the thick
twining branches to conceal their
nests. When the tree bloomed, it
sweetened all the air around and gave
it's white blossoms to everybody that
came.
One day, however, the maverick tree
was captured and taken into the city.
1t belonged to somebody then because
it was paid for and the man that own
ed it gave it a peculiar name. or
course, the tree felt rather pleased
with itself at first, but there did not
seem to be anything to do and it be-
came satisfied. 1t never saw red
bird Or blue bird, and it had grown
so used to rocking and caring for them
that every twig felt empty and lone
some. 1t was in front yard, and chill
dror n.ayar climbed traaS fhpre The
maverick tree discovered that it was
part OF a landscape garden, and that
all the shrubbery and flowers about it
had one purpose only, and that one
purpose was effect" OF course the
maverick tree did not appreciate the
importance of effect and was SO dis
gusted with itself and with the other
plans that every time the hose was
turned on it it felt ashamed. The NAV
| erick tree was a neighborly sort of Il
| tree, too, but it could hear the shrubs
Whispering to each other about 1t ana
| it knew that it was not in their class.
After a while it began to drop It's
leaves to the ground. The tree toad
| always inclined to make the best of
| things, advised it to go slow, and q
violet that had also been transplanted
assured it that it was as beautiful as
ever, but it could not be cheered vi
and kept on dropping it's leaves until II
stood there ugly and scrawny.
And that is why the maverick tree
died. They said it was too old to be
| transplanted, but the real reason thai
the maverick tree did not live was th'
fact that it could find nothing to DO
