A survey of conditions in western

no denying that many employers have
rather derided efforts toward social
betterment and regarded them as a
weakness on the part of their fellows

alton to the results of the work done
in the field of social welfare
Among the places under scrutiny is
the little city of Lead, S. d. This mu-
nicipality of 5000 people is the abode
of the Homestake property, classed as
one of the worlds greatest gold mines.
Lead was one of the places visited by
the congressional commission on in
dustrial relations which investigated
it's first and only labor difficulty in s5
years of operation. Professor Com
mons, who displayed much interest in
Lead, pronounced it the most remark
able and interesting community he had
observed. From the fact that only
one clash had occurred between the
owners and their employees and the ad
ditional fact that at least half of the
men sided with the company in that
trouble, one would correctly infer that |
much effort had been made to keep the |
miners satisfied with the working con-
ditions and to maintain harmonious |
relations and comfortable living con-
ditions.

Both the late superintendent, Thos.

out of the room. Tell him to wait"
In the attic, Bertholdi was still at
work, keeping her eyes open to exc
cute the mission on which Del Mar
had sent her.
Rusty, forgotten in the excitement
by Jennings, had roamed at will
through the house and seemed quite
interested. For this was the trunk be-
hind which he had his cache of treas
ures.
AS Bertholdi started to move behind
the trunk, Rusty could stand it no
longer. He darted ahead of her into
his hiding place. Among the dog bis
| cult and bones was the torpedo model
which he had dug up from the palm
pot in the conservatory. He seized
it in his m3uth and turned to carry
| it off.
There, in his path, was his enemy,
the new girl. Quick as flash, she
saw what it was Rusty had, and
grabbed at it.

her prize in triumph and turning it
over and over in her hands.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all it's stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being constitutional disease, requires cor sttutlonal treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in do- ing it's work.

It is one of the strangest things to me that the farmers everywhere will not come toget- her as one body and overflow the desks and tables of our Congress- men and representatives, asking and demanding protection to the farmers of the country.
 We have finished another hard year of hard labor, the cold win ter winds have come, and what has the farmer got? Nothing but disappointment for his hard labor.
 Disappointment is not all that lots of our poor farmers are get ting. In looking over my county paper this week l see one full page covered with real estate mortgage sales-the homes of poor women and childred who have toiled in the burning heat, thinking that the price of cotton would save their homes.
