Our strength away in wrestling

For It's our nature strikes US

Slaughtered in hourly hecatombs

1.-The Lost Paradise

The picture at the Amusu
Thursday, THE Lost Paradise
is a powerful pictorial argument
in behalf of the oppressed labor
ers whose lives build the wealth
of nations, whose tears are cry
stalled in the jewels of the
rich. T h e inspiration of the
original play was suggested by
the army of tired toilers who
spin blindly on in the dark.
In the story, the superinten-
dent of the Knowlton. Iron Works
is in love with his employers
daughter, who has been reared
in luxury, and is the idol of her
father. To save this woman
from the knowledge that her
father is a thief, the loyal SUPER
intendent takes upon his own
shoulders the guilt of her fathers
crime. After all the stress
which the story developes, his
sacrifice is learned and rewarded
by the woman he loves, who de-
cides to stand with him on the
side of the oppressed workmen,
to whose cause the superinten-
dent has devoted his life's work.

MINERAL POINT WISCONSIN, THURSDAY. JANUARY
Boost in Price of Flour.

With wheat going up with leaps and
bounds. the price of -four is beginning
to follow and the price of bread will be
the next to jump.
Flour will go much higher, according
to mill men, and bakers assert that
either the price Of bread will go up or
the size of the loaf will go down.
1--WE expect flour will be selling at
$40 barrel before long and it will stay
at this price for year or more, " said
H. B. Smith, Milwaukee manager for
the Washburn-C Crosby company. THE
price is determined by the wheat mark
cts, which are going up with leaps and
bounds. Every cent advance in wheat
means five cents increase in flour. -
He says it is the present expectation
of wheat that is showing prices upward.
