Modern Economic Conditions Demand
Training For Girls
r. Z. MAST

Because of the changing economic
conditions in the United States,
and the constantly increasing cost
of living, it is becoming more and
more necessary for girls to be
trained in the art of homemaking.
Such are the conclusions of Miss
Celetine Schmit, instructor in home
economics at the University OF
Wisconsin, who has made careful
study OF conditions surrounding
many of the homes of this and some
of the countries Of Europe.
European states realize that the
best economic assets to state are
well trained housekeepers. recently
said Miss Schmit." They have no
for shiftless women; Women who
do not know how to take proper
care of themselves nor Of those
depending upon them. Our
problems in this country are more
serious than those in Europe.
There. each state has to educate one
nationality, while here We must
educate the children of all
nationalities regardless of ideals Or
lack of them, and try to remedy
what has been neglected in earlier
years.
Miss Schmit argues that if we are
to enforce laws as to the minimum
wage of our working girls, we must

To the People of Washburn.

A few days ago | bought the pic
ture business here. have no part
ner in this and am here to make this
business a success, and while this
business was somewhat exaggerated
to me | think a town of this size
should support good show, and
when | say good show | mean it.
The only place in Minneapolis where
the pictures we are running can be
seen is at the Grand Opera house.
The best actors and actresses the
stage produces are thrown on the
canvas, giving all the chance too see
artists we would never see in life.
If you would stop and think where
you could go and sec pictures such
as shown here every night and be
warm, meet your friends, and have
the benefit of good lights, see every
body's new bonnets, stay two hours
all for S and 10c.
In conclusion will say, my Theater
will be run under the best of Man
agement, no pictures shown but the
best, everything in good order and l
wish you to give me your patronage
which we will appreciated by giving
a good clean up-to-date show.

bank in Dresden during the seven
years war and when he asked to be
allowed to show him his marionettes.
Let me show you my little actors"
said the boy, Juggling to open a great
box nearly as large as himself "Oh,
do please look at them! My dolls act
so beautifully that you will be pleased
with them, l am sure, and | do SO
want to earn some money to pay a
man to teach me to play the flute"
Would you like to learn to play the
flute?" asked the king, his sympathy
aroused at once, for he remembered
his own boyhood's desire.
Above all things" answered An
tonic.
Come with me-" said this kind heart
ed old gentleman, as Antonio still
thought him, land you shall have a
good teacher and a fine flute Of your
very own. How do you like thatT'
The poor lad could hardly speak on
account of the sobs of joy that persist
ed in coming. But his new friend un-
derstood and patted him on the head
as they walked off together. So he
was put in charge of the court music
master. who found he had great talent.
and after awhile he played so well that
he was allowed to play before the king.
The boy felt the deepest gratitude
toward his kind benefactor and prayed
constantly that he might at some flu
ture time prove his devotion to him.
Strangely enough, the opportunity did
come. For one morning Antonio. get
ting up very early and taking a short
cut through the kitchen Of the castle
on his way to the garden, saw one of
the cooks acting in a suspicious man.
ner Just as Antonio glanced at him
the man dropped white powder in
the cup of chocolate meant for the
king!
The little flute player was Mortified
and, rushing off, ran without ceremony
into the kings apartment, crying: ooh.
sire, do not drink your chocolate this
morning. 1T is poisonedr'
When, a few minutes after. the
breakfast tray was brought in. Freder
lex the Great received it very calmly
and looked hard at the servant. who
Immediately began to tremble.

ILL.," exclaimed his majesty. Here.

revive you"

throwing himself at the kings feet, 81
am not to blame. l am but an instru-
ment in the hands of Others" and he
confessed the whole plot.
"Wretched man. you were going to
poison me-" said the king, and at the
same time he called one Of the dogs to
his side. He gave him the contents of
the cup to drink, and shuddered when
he saw the poor brute die in agony:
SO it was "bread cast upon the wa
ters which had returned after many
days" For Frederick the Greats kind
ness to a poor little italian boy had
saved his own life.

Mother Had the Failing Too.

The visitor had dropped in lust for
q minute" but she remained about
three hours after the minute wns up.
Little Freddie had formed several
plans, the execution Of which must be
postponed till the departure Of his
mothers guest So he sat quietly
thinking things.
Dear little man!' gushed the visitor.
"And what is he thinking about SO
deeply"
~ was wondering If 1t wasn't time
for you to be going" said Freddie.
"Hushw said his mother. Then. turn
Ing to her guest: "YOu mustn't be Of

A Change in Time

Postmaster Nelson wishes us
to announce that hereafter the
Washburn post office will remain
open on Sundays from 1915 to
one o'clock. This change in the
time of opening the post office
on Sunday was made necessary
on account Of the change in time
of the arrival of the morning
train. The train now arrives at
lis and it takes until about
the noon hour to distribute the
mails. The change in time was
made for the benifit of the
public.

Cold Weather And Big Crops

Now that the colder season is
approaching, lest that we regret,
let il be Eoted that the cold win ters
are followed by big crops. This
fact was noted by the public
generally long before anyone
suggested a we'll defined reason why
it's so.
Later the agriculture colleges be-
gan to investigate the. feeding area
in the soil demanded by various
crops aud the necessity of having
the ground loose so the plant roots
can feed over large area.
Then the Investigation covering
the needs and demands OF the
millions up on millions of bacteria
that occupy the soil and work for
better crops discovered that the
heaving of the ground and con-
sequent loosening did wonders for
the fertility of the soil.
Nor did the students of moisture
content and conservation come to
any other conclusion than that the
frost of the north was one of the
great reasons for the larger crops in
the colder regions.
So, when the colder period
approaches there should be thanks
for the favor, and not regret. Our
armers should welcome winter with
asmile.

PATHS Burning Admirer.

Once in Italy a card was brought to
Mime. Patti from a man whose name
she did not know, but who was so
very anxious to see her that she allow
ed him to be shown into her room.
When the unknown came in he proved
to be little old man who was quite
red and speechless with nervousness.
Suddenly Patti noticed smoke coming
out of his coat, so without saying a

the -Four Marx Brothers nnd company"
which opened at Pantages yesterday. is
distinctly a novelty.
Beside the four Marx brothers, there
are twelve others In the company. The
act takes up two-thirds OF the Pantages

arate numbers.

night when the members of the Retail
Merchants association gathered in the
odeon Tor their tenth annual ball A
thoroughly good time with continuous
dancing from early in the evening until
midnight was enjoyed by all present,
ana there were moro than 700 persons
who attended.
Retail dealers were not alone in the
pig happy gathering. Practically every
wholesale house in Salt Lake City was
wen represented, as were also the man.
ufacturers and brokers of the city. The
crowd was representative and had its
snare OF fair women and brave men. :
Inc gowns worn were well worthy of
consideration and the clothing OF the
men attested as to prosperous business

There was no ''ragging, - and the
programme told nothing OF the tango,
onn9y hug, grizzly bear, one-step or
angle worm. Neither was there men
toned the Virginia reel, rage quadrihe,
waltz or twostep. The happy throng
just danced TO the music, and though
the names of the dances were all new
they followed the music as though at
least some of it might have been ia.

voted satisfactory, and some Of the
dancers seemed to be on the floor for
every one of the sixty numbers.

WEDDING CELEBRANTS
ARRESTED BY SHERIFF
Automobile Loads of Officers Follow
Austrian Party From Garfield and
Hear Shooting.

Hardly had the echoes of many shots
fired In celebration OF au Austrian
wedding at Garfield yesterday died
away when eight of the celebrators
were arrested by Sheriff Andrew
Smith, 1r., and eleven deputies.
Though the bride wept and the bride
groom frowned, the eight who were
found carrying weapons were taken
from the party of twenty and hurried
before Justice Reed, who admitted each
one TO bail to the amount Of $25. They
furnished the money and went back
to the celebration destined to be con
cluded along the same lines as safe
and sane Fourth.
Sheriff Smith heard Of the coming
wedding and the planned acc ompani-
ment of much shooting. When the
wedding party of twenty came TO Salt
Lake yesterday morning for the cere-
mony, they were watched. AS the
five automobiles carrying them started
on the return journey TO Garfield, two
auto loads of officers fell into line. one
auto in the lead and one following the
merry makers. After the friends who
had remained at home had been made
aware by the many pistol reports of
the return of the two who had been
made one, the machines carrying the
officers stopped and the sheriff and
deputies quickly closed in and searched
all for guns. According to Sheriff
Smith they will be prosecuted for car
rying conc ealed weapons.
