MONUMENT TO MARY
PHAGAN PROPOSED
Pastor Starts Subscription to
Erect Statue of Girl

Dalton, Ca, Sept. ealing upon
the women of the state, with the CO.
operation of the churches, to "let a
system of work be instituted that will
eliminate in monument to little
Mary Phagan," Rev. ;. c. Parrot, o.
,Cohutta, addressed a communication
to the Dalton Citizen, saying:
Here is dollar for the erection of
a monument to Mary Phagan, the lit,
tie factory girl who recently laid down
her life for her honor. Most of the
monuments have ever seen have been
eretced to blood-men who have been
heroes in war, have made wives wild
ows and children orphans-men who
have drenched the land with blood and
filled the home with loneliness and
tears.
GIN the town of Marietta there rests
the mangled body of little working
girl-a heroine that, to my mind, out
shines them ALL"
In calling upon the ladies and the
churches, he urges mot a mean shat,
but a fitting statue of the martyre
child reclining in the agonies OF
death"

Criticising the Courts.

court of Wisconsin is quoted as saying
last night that the case would be taken

save the license fees which have been
already paid "
Yet lawyers and judges complain Of

Ali Talk on Wisconsin.

Until recently one could hardly start
a conversation without hearing about
some wonderful country away over
there. Now, the talk is about Wis
consin lands and Wisconsin opportuni-
ties. 1t is believed thai not one-fourth
as much Wisconsin money and people
are going out Of the state as three
years ago This is a healthy condi-
ton. The money invested in Wisconsin
yields dividends to our own people and
our own state.

Baker Law Upheld.

The supreme court recently sustained
the constitutionality of the Baker law
which limits the number of saloons to
one to $50 inhabitants and prohibits the
transfer of licenses from one location
to another until the ratio is within the
limit.
The effect of this decision is to multi
fly nearly 1000 licenses granted last
July in various localities of the state.
Two hundred and forty-two saloons
now in business in Milwaukee must
close. These saloon keepers have paid
the city S48, 400 in licenses, not a penny
of which they can collect, although the
life of their license is less than six
months old.

Foot Ball Old Game.

Foot hall is probably the oldest of our

third century, in commemoration of a

annual game still played each Easter

practice of more martial exercises. go

AMERICAN WAsTEFULNESS.
Kansas 90 Journal.


The American people are the most
wasteful on earth. They waste every
thing in every possible way, They
even waste time, Notwithstanding their
international reputation as dollar chas-
ers and constant hustlers An Ameri-
can business man will charter special
train to get him somewhere an hour
earlier than regular schedule, and then
idle away half day before keeping his
appointment. Americans waste their
energies by tearing about like mad
over affairs Of little or no consequence.
They waste time getting money, and
then waste the money in all sorts of
ridiculous extravagances, for the most
part mere grotesque display.
But it is waste of food that is most
striking, in comparison with frugal
habits of our continental cousins. John
T. Russell, president Of the master
butchers association in Chicago, told
his associates the other day that the
trouble with the American, if he is a
poor laborer, is that he demands the
choicest cuts of meat. Then his wife
in trimming the meat throws 25 per
cent of her purchase into the garbage
can instead Of saving it and putting it
to some other use. We butchers can
be blamed on the same score. We
throw away good meat that might be
used and ultimately the consumer
must pay for our carelessness as well
as his own. And wastefulness in the
butcher shop and in the home tends to
decrease the supply of meat and boost
prices.
The truth of this statement is more
than apparent. 1t is shown by the ex-
perience Of practically every American
family Americans not only live
high. as the saying goes, but they
live almost riotously. The average man
who sits down at hotel table will or
der twice as mucn as he can eat. He
uibbles at this and that, and in the end
spoils enough for a family. The Amer
lean cook sends enough good food to
the garbage can every day to sustain
family as large as the one she cooks for.
IL is reported that fund Of $500 600
has been raised by the big packers to
teach American women how to save in
their kitchens. This is a movement in
tended to prevent waste and promote
economy. American business men in
sist upon the most economical systems
Of conducting their operations, and
then go to their homes, where waste is
the rule in every department, Domes-
tic science is now being taught in most
of our large public schools, and in time
this instruction may result in material
benefit. But until the American house
keeper puts brains into her work and
stu dies the art of saving, the high cost
Of living problem will not be solved.
