istic magnificene and to maintain
this luxurious Righteousness. The
mass will use the might they possess
through numbers and they will over
throw the present order. The ex-
tent of poverty is not realized. Chi
cago's bread line increases from year
to year but yet some say that pros
perity is unparalleled. AT least S.
000, 600 children are half starved.
What will you do about it?
Ruskin says that only the ignor-
ant can enjoy luxury"
Poverty is a crime as well as a
tragedy. 1t is preventable. There is
plenty for AL.
Scarcity is not the cause of pow
erty. insufficient supply does not
justify an increase in price.
Extravaganza is not the cause of
wretchedness because the poor are
too poor to be eXtravagant.
Laziness does not explain power
ty, because there are always mel
willing to work who cannot find a
master.
The cause of poverty is low
wages, no wages, high prices"
Charity is a poor substitute for
justice. The need of charity proves
the existence of evil of wrong.
1t takes action instead of a trust
in God when the capitalists go
through your pockets.
The remedy is cooperation. Cut
throat competition must go. The
brightest students in America are
turning to socialism.

Northwestern National Is Making
Good.

In this issue we give some facts
and figures, direct from a source
that cannot be questioned. Here are
a few reasons why this company is
not only good, but n of the very
best of all old line companies. Rigid
economy enforced by directors and
management; field operations, wes-
tern states only; abnormally low
death rate obtained by best class
physical risks; demand for farm
loans gets splendid net earnings; no
stockholders in company to absorb
any of the earnings which belong
and go to the policyholders; high
class directorate, most efficient man
agement; policies unexcelled by any
company; possibilities for future un-
questioned; steady financial gains
and increased dividends. See us and
we will go over these points more in
detail. They are worth your
thought. F. G. Ball & Son.

with velveteen on one side. Make a

rial, about six inches high and as large
round as the circumference Of the cir
Gle of pasteboard. Do not close this
bag az the bottom, but sew its edge to
the edge OF the pasteboard circle with
fine stitches, keeping the velveteeen
on the outside. Have ready a cheap
doll, about nine inches tall. Put dol
ly's legs into the bag and I'LL up round
them with sawdust. or bran; pack 1t
tight and draw in the gathering-cord
closely around the dolls waist and
fasten securely to prevent any saw
dust escaping. The doll is now fin
ished and looks like an old-fashioned
lady in hoop-skirt and petticoat and
will stand on any fiat surface. 1t can
be dressed In any way preferred, but
the dress should be sewed on and
should have no buttons or ornaments
for little fingers to tear on or put In

Long time ago, all Of the animals
lived up in the world above the arch
of the sky. They lived there so long
that 1t was hard to find room for all
of them, and so the water beetle was
sent down to the water earth beneath.
which is the earth We now live on. to
see If she could find more room for
them.
The water beetle didn't find another
earth, but only q wide, wide sea Of
water, so she dived to the bottom OF
the water and brought up tiny bit OF
mud which grew and grew until 1t be-
came the earth. For a long time this
new earth was too soft for the ami
mails to live upon. but they waited
until 1t became hard, and then came
down and set to work to make 1t a
good place to live in.

the lizard, who loved plenty Of sun

after another, the grasshopper. the
bluebird, the bear, the meadow lark
the long-eared jack-rabbit, the cotton
tail bunny, the little buffalo. the teeter-
ing snipe and the squirrel came to the
Great Beaver and said that they
wanted light.
THE only way to have light" said
the Great Beaver, is to send some
one to get the sun and set 1t on a
track overhead so that it will travel
across the earth from east to west
every day."
Well" said Mamma Bear, who had

the Great Beaver No one was anx-

refused to go, until the Great Beaver
said:
Il know what to do; | will send the
Great Hawk, who flies high and high
until you can no longer see him, and
who will not be afraid to go close up
to the SUM-" So he whistled for the
Great Hawk to come down, and said
to him:
Go and get the sun and set It in a
track one hands breadth above the
earth" But though hands breadth
in those days was very much greater
than it is today, it was too close; the
sun gave too much light, and was hot
so hot that 1t scorched the shell OF
the crawfish red and spoiled its flesh
for food.
So the Great Hawk raised the sun
higher by one hands breadth. Still
it was too hot, and the Great Hawk
went on raising the sun until 1t was
seven hand breadths above the earth
And that was Just right-there Is
where it has stayed to this day.
