White slavery.

A Pensacola, visitor of unique in
terest is j. NJ. Cummins, of Milwau-
kee, who has given the last five years
of his life to a search for a beauti-
full girl, a relative, who was Kidnapped
on the streets of Milwaukee in June,
1909, taken in automobile to Chicago,
sold there, possibly into white
slavery" and sent South, but all fur
ther traces have been absolutely lost
sofar. One of the men who captured
the girl. and the woman to whom
she was sold are serving life SEN
tences in the penitenuary.
Mr.. Cummins has not quite de-
SPARED of finding the girl and has
visited nearly every city of Importance
in the South, searching the resorts
quietly for the missing child, though
the girls mother died last year
During the first years of his search
in Chicago, discoveries were made and
unearthed, and revelations of such
horror, as to shock the sentiment of
the nation, and which was about the
time the wave of investigation, of
worldwide character, of the traffic in
girls was made. since being followed
by vice commissions and reforms in

HORROR OF WHITE SLAVERY.
Many times I have been asked this
question: What is the most effective
way to deal with white slavery IN
order to get rid Of the curse? White
slavery in its true meaning is the very
worst evil known in the history of the
world, and on account of the modesty
of our American people it has been
let alone to grow, and thrive until
it has become a living, vicious mon
ster, devouring sixty thousand of our
girls every three hundred and sixty
five days. Think of it, five thousand
a month
white slavery is ten thousand
times worse than black slavery ever
was, and yet the very best blood of
our land was spilled on southern soil
on account of the latter, costing this
nation the lives Of thousands of her
noblest sons, and millions of money.
And yet comparatively nothing has
been done (and what has been done
is by the few to put down white
slavery. Would you want to give your
daughter to feed this rapacious mon
ster? Many are saying today. L care
nothing about that cause, as it does

river thus obtaining the advantage

Loves to Crochet

May l ask a favor? It seems as if everyone sooner or later comes to the Corner with request, and I hope you will find space for me. My mother, who is crippled, loves to crochet She is anx ious to get different wools and yarns to finish an afghan. Her eyes are not as strong as they were. and the long even ings are ahead of her. Do you think 1t possible that there may be odd banks Of wool or yarn that the Cornerites have no use for, and would give away to one who will appreciate it? Any color or any kind of worsteds can be worke ed up nicely by her. MRS c. L. Br #
 It is quite possible and altogether probable that you will receive the sleins of wool you desire for your ham, dicapped mother. The winter evenings are indeed long for one who cannot read and who must be kept. indoors by the storms and cold days of the season that is upon us

Baking a Plain Cake

Will you please let me know how to bake a plain cake? As I am rather in ex- perienced in baking, should like to know how to mix everything, etc. E. L. B.
 First select the recipe you want from the best cook book you know of. Then get all your ingredients together before you begin work Sift the flour with the quantity of baking powder prescribed by the recipe. It is we'll to sift 1t three times to insure thorough incorporation of -four and powder Next cream the but ter and sugar light. Then beat yolks and stir into the creamed butter and sugar. Next stir in gradually the right quantity of milk. Lastly add the flour and the stiffened whites alternately and quickly. folding them In with sidelong swift strokes. While doing this slip in the fiayoring or spice. This is the meth cd of making plain cake. As I have said, the quantity of flour, butter and sugar and number of eggs depend upon the recipe. Do not attempt richer and more elaborate cakes until you have practiced long and successfully upon the plain.

TRADE STILL IS
 BELOW NORMAL Dun's Review Says There Is an Improvement in
 Sentiment

New York. November 1S.-Dun's Re- view tomorrow will say: Trade, except for export, shows lit tie growth and the output of import ant industries Is still much below the
 normal. yet the improvement in busi- ness sentiment that has been so mark ed during the past two weeks, is stead fly expanding and has been greatly strengthened by the developments of the past few days.
 The machinery of the markets, which broke down under the strain of tho international crisis, is being rap idly repaired and with the immense increase in exports, which tends to restore a normal trade balance. and the better control now being exercised, the foreign exchange market is approach ing a point where it is no longer a serious menace.
 Failure this week in the United States were AS against 299 last year; in Canada 79 against AZ last year. Bank exchanges were $2,2S5,365, 900, a decrease of 23.1 per cent from las. year. Wheat exports were 5,545,000

 The wayfarer who sits beside the open road, with the way unobstructed and road map of knowledge in his pocket, and waits for a lift from a fellow traveller, how blithely the world can pass on, and leaves him sitting there exposed to the scorchfng heat by day or perhaps the Cnrelentng downpour of rain by night.

 To plaintively wish for a thing with out at once setting all the energies to work to obtain it is foolishness
 There is nothing more quickening to the faculties than trying to accomplish the seemingly impossible.
 The more difficult the task the more re- sourceful, the more flexible become the mind and the body, and it Is after both are dead tired that the unfaltering will to do comes to the front and 1t is the will to attain. not merely to qualify. that fnsures attainment.
 Friends are valuable in affording op- portunities, in paying the entrance fee, so to speak, so that the runner may have his chance to run, in cheering him on and praising his endurance, but failure or success must depend upon individual purpose, the will to endure and over come when on the track.
 The child who pauses midway in build ing castle of blocks and calls for grown up" assistance, or who runs away and leaves the design only half complet- ed has exhibited the first sign of the man of uncompleted life works.
