The Triple Entente.

The triple entente, that friendly bond
between Russia. England and France,
is the legacy which Edward VII. Of
England has left TO posterity. He was
the moving spirit in its formation. 1t
began with an agreement entered into
between Great Britain and France in
1904. and was completed by an agree
ment between Russia and the two 9TH
ers in 1907.
Its formation was actuated by sew
eral things. but chiefly by the growth
of Germany's naval power. That could
be interpreted only as menace to
England. for England is the supreme
lord of the seas. Edward VII. the
uncle of Emperor William H.. used his
powers of diplomacy TO good advan-
tage to protect England against Will
liam's designs. Russia and France had
long been friends.
Englands admittance into the bond
with them has made the triple entente
formidable force to reckon with.
VIII Italy remain in the triple ALI
ance or will she deliver her friendship
over TO the triple entente? England
has long been making overtures to It
ally. England wants her friendly serv-
ices to help guard the Mediterranean
sea. Great Britain cannot spare ships
TO guard it herself. She has TO have
them massed in the North sea TO meet
any sudden attack the German new
born but mighty fleet might make
Otherwise Emperor William would be
landing with his army upon the Eng
fish coast The English firmly believe
that he seeks to be crowned in West
minister abbey as the lord OF the Brit
ish Isles.

DOCTOR CANNOT EXCUSE
MAN FROM ROAD DUTY

Attorney General Moose in an
opinion written for Frank Erwin
of Oxford states that a physicians
certificate showing a man unable
to perform manual labor is not
conclusive proof that the man is
unable to work the public roads,
and would not exempt a man from
such road work. Sometimes
such certificate may be accepted
and the person furnishing it may
be excused from labor on the
highways" Judge Moose states.
But theeertifeate is not conclu-
sive. 1t does not prove that the
person is unable to perform labor
by reason of physical disability"

R0BBER HOLDS UP
HAZEL HOTEL CLERK
Masked Man Holds Gun on Night
Clerk and Gets Away With
About $50 In Cash

Newport, Oct. Is. -The boldest
hold-up that ever occurred in New
port was successfully accomplish
ed Sunday night about Il o'clock,
when Night Clerk Chester Ward
of the Hazel Hotel, while alone in
the office, was attracted by a
slight rapping on the door casing
that leads to the rear hallway. He
turned to confront a man wearing
a night-rider mask of solid black
over his face, head and shoulders,
and his hands were gloyed. He
demanded that Ward throw up
his hands, but the latter began
arguing the matter, and being
near the front door, gave several
light taps on the glass, bringing
into the lobby George Hawthorne,
a negro porter. When the por-
ter entered, the robbers pistol
went in the direction of the negro,
and two other negroes on the out
side were too much alarmed to
act quickly or the hold-up man
might have been caught.
The masked man, whom the
clerk is sure was white man,
then proceeded to the cash register
from which he took SIS or $50 in
Guiding a $40 bill, some smaller
currency and all the silver dollars
and half dollars but left the small
change and checks. He next back
ed out of the lobby into the rear
hall and took to heels and escaped.

WILLIAMS GETS CONTRACT
FOR MASONIC BUILDING

A difference arose between Con-
tractor Young and the parties
having the new Masonic building
constructed, which resulted in the
contract being awarded to j. P.
Williams, whose bid was only a
few dollars above that submitted
by Mr.. Young
Mr.. Young's bid was the lowest
of the several bids submitted and
it was announced last week when
the bids were opened that the con-
tract would be given him. How
ever, in drawing up the contract
Monday, the owners contended for
a clause providing for the compile
ton of the building by Jan. l. Mr..
Young would not agree to this,
and the contract was then award
ed to Mr.. Williams, who agrees to
finish the lower story of the build
ing by Jan. 1, and the upper story
by Feb. l, 1915. Mr.. Williams i'm
mediately put large number of
hands to work clearing away the
old walls, and in few days he
will be ready to begin the con-
struction of the new building.

PAY D0CKED FOR
DEFECTS IN CLOTH
Cotton WeaVers Blamed For
Things Not Their Fault.
CAUSED BY CHILD SPINNERS

W. G. 1rby, Jr., who has announced
his candidacy for governor Of South
Carolina, is quoted as saying in state
ment as to his platform, II believe
much dissatisfaction caused by the
dockage of employees for bad cloth is
due to the fact that the mills employ
children to spin the thread, who. be-
coming tired and careless, spin defec-
tive thread, which when it goes into
cloth makes it hard for weavers to pre-
vent defect in the cloth.'
The opponents of child labor regard
this as strong argument on their side
OF the question, since it goes to prove
their claim that older workmen lose by
child labor and that it is not profitable
to the manufacturer to employ chill
dren because they produce defective
goods. The national child labor COM
mittee claims that child labor is a
financial drag on the older workers,
too, because it reduces their wages.
In the United States report on woman
and child wage earners the tables on
wages show that in southern cotton
mills, which are notorious for their
employment of children, the greatest
number of male operatives over twen-
ty-one years Of age receive from Sc to

Jones Bros and Wilson's Shows.
Away from the old time methods of
presenting tented amusement enter
prises is Jones Bros and Wilson's
Trained Wild Animal Circus which ap-
pears at Willmar Aug. 4th. As its
title denotes, wild animal features pre-
dominate, but do not by any means
form all of the program; high class
European circus novelties, and high
class horse, pony, dog and monkey
acts are interviewer into the program
with such varied effects, that the on
locker is taken from one surprise to
another with such wonderful rapidity
that he hardly knows what to expect
next, and it is in the arranging of the
program SO as to take advantage of
these surprises wherein lies the
charm of Jones Bros and Wilson's
performances.
A noticeable feature of the show is
it's absolute freedom from anything
suggestive that mars so many per-
formances; its clean, wholesome fun,
the real comedy of the clowns, in bur-
lesquing important topics of the day,
and grotesque representations of peo-
pie prominent in the Hmelight, is real
humor and greatly appreciated.
The high standard of excellence
maintained throughout the entire pro-
gram, stamps it as an attraction in a
class by itself. Unrivalled by any
other amusement enterprise ever seen
in this section of the country.-Adv.

TYPICAL GROUP OF COTTON MIL WORKERS
$500 a week. In New England, on the
other hand. in this same industry,
where very few children under four
teen are employed, the greatest num-
Der of male operatives over twenty one
receive $12 a week or more. From
these figures It is to be concluded that
a man competing with child receives
q much smaller wage than man CON-
peting with man. : III.
Mr.. Irby touches on this question of
wages, too. according to the report Of
his statement, in which he goes on to
say, If the mills would pay their en-
.ployees just wage they would send
their children to school and give them
better opportunity to develop mentally
and physically and would not have to
work them In competition with them
selves, thereby enabling the mills to.
lower the scale Of wages to a child
standard. This candidate for COVER
