The chief economic argument against state
child labor laws is that it handicaps the manufac
turers of prohibitory states in competition with
the manufacturers of states having no such laws.
This is an argument for national law, but even
if it had no weight, there is reason enough with
out it to support such legislation. The interest
of the nation in the conservation Of childhood is
paramount. Child labor is shameful stain on
the escutcheon of the republic. That it has been
tolerated so long is our disgrace. The common
est dictates of humanity are against it. 1t chal-
lenges our hearts and our brains. There should
be no more doubt about it's abolition than about
the enforcement of a statute against murder, or
the appropriation of money to check plague.
We have little doubt that the Supreme court
will sustain the law if it is properly drawn, and
in any case it should be given an opportunity to

NORMAL CONDITIONS
REPORTED in TRADES

Bradstreet's review of trade con-
ditions here last week follows:
Trade in general reported as normal
with but little change from last week.
The local wholesale and retail grocery
and provision trade reported light oW-
ing to the extreme hot weather. Col
lections in this line reported a little
slow Building hardware trade fairly
brisk, collections fair. Lumber bust
ness extremely good and the demand
for building lumber is also good.
Local piano manufacturers report
business in general falling off to some
extent. Local lawn mower factories
report trade letting up which is nor
mol for this season of the year Busl-
ness this year was good and better
than last year. Automobile industry
still thriving and no little trouble is
experienced in getting material with
which to build the cars for which
orders are already in. Live stock mar
ket here was quiet last week, however
prices are good.

BRIEF HISTORY OF HATS

Have you a hat?
Hats first manufactured in England
about 1910. In the reign of Queen Elizabeth
they superseded caps and other soft headgear
According to tradition a knowledge of feted
hats and caps was introduced into Western
Europe by the Crusaders.
For several centuries in Great Britain the
higher classes distinguished by their
black beaver hats. Not that that was their
only distinction. but it was one. The common
people wore caps and bonnets,
Beaver fur grew scarce, and In the early part
of the 18th century wool and beaver felt hats
came in. The silk hat was an innovation of
the mdcentury.
Political and religious differences have been
marked by the form of hats A steeple hat,
high and narrow, with broad brim and devoid
of ornament was worn by the Puritan of the
reign of Charles ]. At the same period the
Cavalier a hat with lower and broader
crown with feather stuck on one side The
Quaker hat, low in the crown. plain and hav-
ing broad brim, dates from the middle of the
nth century, when the sect originated. Cen
tlemen OF the 18th century wore the cooked hat.
1t was Kossuth, the Hungarian patriot, who
introduced into the United States the wearing
of the soft felt hat which has since become a
favorite in the South and West. The first straw
hats were of the palm leaf variety. They were
first manufactured about 100 years ago.
Philadelphias hat manufactures are famous
the world over.

The Quakers are the richest and the people
of greatest interest in this Government; of

1t can't find enough abandoned farms to make
the catalogue worth anybodys while
One common falacy is taking a part for
a whole. For example, regarding the statis-
tics of illiteracy among mountain whites as
representative of general rural conditions.
Still another is the acceptance of 1.-THE Old
Homestead" and the pictures of A. B. Frost
as true reflections of country life. The his
torian who puts together a few incidents
and scenes and labels them "history" is not
an historian. This, too, is mistaking details
for the real thing
So, finally, the rural emigrant gives up to
his sense of humor, like the man who kicked
about the Frost pictures follows Your
boost of Frost is well received, for his pic
lures are frost, indeed. 1t is not necessary
to criticse that they be viewed through
farmers eyes. His farmer any one can see,
is a crouch and mean as he can be. Besides,
he sows with his left hand grain for a mot
ley chicken band, and let's his wife lift,
standing still, 10 gallons more of milk and
swill for the razorbacks which rise to greet
the housewife in her slippered feet-noisy
hogs and noisome more 10 steps away from
the kitchen door Upon the ground he feeds
his cow hay that's carried from the NOV.
Two ponies, lastly, crowd the scene instead
of horses. big and clean, to pull and haul
and plow the furrow. It's a wonder Frost
didn't draw burro. Farming thus all would
be lost, though picturesque it seems to

And brags about the corn boys of Ohio
