INFORMATION WANTED
Epitaphs Partly Missing at HinsdilIe
Cemetery

Editor OF The Banner-ln copying
epitaphs with view to publication
for, historic and genealogic purposes.
one occasionally meets with broken
stones containing but part OF the
original inscription. These stones
sooner or later are removed from the
places where they were first set and
then nothing remains TO identity the
persons there buried. Last August
noted three such stones in the Hins-
dillville cemetery: and should be
obliged If any reader OF your paper
can assist me to learn the names of
the persons recorded on the follow
ing described stones in that ceme-
terry.
First. This stone is between those
of Lieurendus B. Harwood and Ann
Amelia, daughter of Sanford and
Amelia Hale. Its upper part is gone
and only the following words remain:
shall arise aged--tho' still THE
hearty
e{rhat beat with love and frie (ndship
true)
| shall arise and soon depart
To bid my grave a last adieu
Second. This stone is between
those of Rachel B. Northup and De-
ziah, wife of B. Northup. There are
four or more pieces. One has the
name; then parts are missing; then
two pieces contain the date; the part
still standing gives only the age.
Thus the parts OF. the epitaph extant
are these: tE
JULIA
Feb. 10, 1856,
AE SO yrs.
Third. This stone lies flat on the
ground behind that OF Janette. wifi
OF James p Bissell. The upper part
is missing and with it is the first
name, the words remaining are these
days
(ELIZ)A JANE
aged mos & q
days.
Daughters OF
Wilcox & Jennett Wright
The parts of words inclosed be-
tween brackets are conpectural, not
being now on the stones. | suppose
the first stone belongs to some Har-
wood; the second is almost certainly
OF some Northup family; and the
third is clearly a daughter Of Wilcox
and Jennett Wright, butwhat was
the chiId's age and name and date OF
death? Any suggestion upon any of
these points will be gladly received.

Picking Him Out.

'The poet Tennyson.". said an Eng
fish writer, was often rude. Tenny-
son was so widely loved it turned his
head little. AT any rate, he was
often guilty of rudeness. Once he
more than met his match. He made a
rude and scornful remark about the
dress of a certain dandy. Now, dan
dies can generally take care of them
selves, and this one was no exception
TO the rule. The dandy happening to
be in the presence of Il crowd of people
when the remark was repeated to him
by mutual friend. screwed his glass
into his eye and drawled calmly: oh.
really. Which Tennyson was 1.-THE
dirty one" Everybody smiled, for OF
the Tennyson brothers Alfred was I'M
doubtedly the more careless"

EXTORT PUBLIC AND
FAVOR GOVERNMENT
Private Interests Sell Gasoline
To Uncle Sam At Low
Figure.

While private interests were charg-
ing the public % cents a. gallon for
gasoline, the United States govern
ment was buying it for 1 cents a gal
lon. While private interests were
charging the public IS cents for a
hundred sheets of carbon paper, the
United States government was buying
it from the same sources for less than
80 cents hundred
These and other equally interesting
facts are revealed in the records Of
the general supply committee, which
buys all kinds of supplies for the
government. They demonstrate that
because of the failure of the govern
ment to establish cooperative stores
for the people. the people are being
daily robbed by the manufacturers
and the hosts of middlemen.
One dozen typewriter ribbons which
sell for $3.50 In the open market, cost
the government only $3.50. One
pound of ruber bands costs the pub
lie $3.50, but Uncle Sam gets the same
weight for $1.O0. On the purchase
of 10000 bags Of cement the govern
ment is able to save $4,000 over what
a private individual would have to
pay for the same quantity.

RAILROAD CE|NSURED
FOR CUN|MEN'S ACTS
Detroit Judge Blames Michigan
Central Officials For Vio-
lence During Strike.

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. Pain SEN
fencing two strikebreakers to Jail
Judge Connolly scored corporations
for importing these. men into. the city.
The accused were employed by the
Michigan Central railroad during it's
recent strike of railroad clerks When
the strike was settled they were dis
charged. and then they stole from the
company. In sentencing them to 90
days in the house Of correction, the
court said:
when corporation brings an
army OF strikebreakers, many of them
en- with criminal records, to a city
and then turns them loose on a city
and the criminals steal from the cor
porat1on, I can't see why the officials
expect the court to be come wrathy
because Of the criminals misdeeds.
Il can't work up much enthusiasm
over this case. It is simply a case
where the criminal bit the hand that
fed him or the bitter was bitten. It
Is only natural course of develop
ment. The only good thing about the
matter Is that the corporation is the
sufferer i'll this case and not some in
nocent citizen.'
The Detroit News makes this edi-
torlal comment on Judge Connelly's
views:
The men were brought to Detroit
by a corporation as strikebreakers, at
high wages presumably, and were dis
charged when the strike was settled.
Imported strikebreakers are not
noted for self-control, nor for any
precious respect of law and order.
The courts disposition to blame the
Importer together with his hireings
is logical

URGE SENATORS TO
VOTE FOR BRANDE|S
Minnesota Labor Organizations
Send Request to Nelson and
Clapp.

Minnesota labor organizations are
sending communications to United
States Senators Nelson and Clapp for
a confirmation of Louis D. Brandeis
| as associate justice of the supreme
court The answers from the sem
ators indicate that Mr.. Nelson is still
in doubt. Mr.. Clapp will vote for
confirmation.
Senator Nelson took time and pains
enough and showed sufficient inter-
est in the matter to vary his Gus
tomary answer to requests from labor
organizations by adding to his stero-
typed phrase, II will give the matter
careful consideration and attention."
this:~ land do what I deem is for the
best welfare Of the country
Senator Clapp, on the other hand
was frank and open in his commune
cation, as he is in all he sends to
the organizations of working people.
He said: mr.. Brandeis is one of the
great lawyers of the country, a man
with a wonderful grasp of public
questions, and at present I can see
no reason why he should not be con-
tlrmed. The committee on the judi
clary will go into the matter. I do
not know what that committee will
present, but from what I know of the
man I should certainly be in favor
of his confirmation

HEALTH HABIT BEST:
TRY CHIROPRACTIC
BY DR.. Alexander Graham.
500 Columbia Bldg, Duluth.

Our habits rule our lives, either
for good or evil. The habits which
do not get the approval Of our con-
science should be discontinued.
There are three habits which are
very essential to the well-rounded out
life. These are the Health Habit.
the Work Habit and the Study Habit.
The Health Habit is the most i'm
portant one of all, because without
1t the others are impossible of ac-
complishment.
Good health is contagious. so are
bad habits. Men in the clutches of
the deyenerating habits of civilized
life become inefficient at forty years
of age; only a small per cent enjoy
mental maturity. They frequently
make no advance after twenty or
thirty years Of age; their wits 70
wool-gathering, 50 that they fail to
see and embrace their opportunities.
Instead of ripening, their minds come
to quick maturity, characterized by
an irritable fanaticism which is spent
In finding fault with life in general.
This is the price men pay for habits
that bring about their misfortune:
Man cannot have good health
cannot become master of himself
without a strong will power; he can
not have a strong will power if his
body is enervated. that is when his
nerves Rave not their freedom Of
action. This is where Chiropractic
comes to the rescue of such people
who have tht wisdom to take the
shortest way to health.
Ch1roDractic is indicated in all
cases where the nervous system is
at fault. A good Chiropractor can
detect the location of deraneed
nerves, and in a very simple manner
remove the trouble giving the nerves
their freedom Of action, thereby max
ing 1t possible for the individual to
build strong will powed, and a good
character and a happy healthy life
will result.

AID FOR STATE INDUSTRIAL TRAINING
FAVORED BY NATIONAL LAWMAKERS

states that develop industrial train
ing of children.
In it's report to the house, the COM
mittee on education explains the pur-
opposes of this legislation.
THE American people have hardly
begun the work of providing for the
practical education of millions of our
wage earners," it says I'm this
whole country there are fewer trade
schools than are to be found in the
now unfortunate little German king.
dom Of Bavaria, with a population
not much greater than that of New
York city.
If we assume that a system of
vocational training, pursued through
years Of the past, would have in
creased the wage earning capacity Of
each IF these to the extent of 10
cents cay, this would have made an
increase of wages for the group of
$2,5OO,OOO a day. of $7O,0OO,OO0 a
year, with all that this would mean
to the wealth and life of the nation.
"Only trained intelligence can con-
serve our mines, our forests and our
water powers; only trained inteli-
gence can restore to our depleted
land its old fertility; only trained in
telligence can make it possible for
US to maintain our higher standard f
living for workers, and yet success
fully compete with the workshops in
lands where lower standards prevail,
"Only half of the children who en-
ter the city elementary schools of
the country only remain to the final
elementary grades. and only one in
ten reaches the final year of high
school. On the average, 10 per cent
TO the children have left school at
age of 13; 40 per cent have left by
the time they are IA; 70 per cent by
the time they are IS; and IS per cent
by the time they are 16 years of age.
On the average schools carry their
pupils as far as the fifth grade, but
in some cities great numbers leave
below that grade.
On January 20, 1914, Pre- sident Will
son approved a law creating a COM
mission on national aid to vocational
educational education. On the CON-
mission is two trade unionists, Presi-
dent Agnes Nestor of the Irternation-
al Glove Workers union md Charles

union. This commission has investi-
gated this question and many of it's
findings and recommendations are
embodied in the legislation now pend
ing,
