A SILK STOCKING ERA is
UPON THE AMERICANS

Americans are found wearing sill
hosiery more and more, according t.
the report of an investigation made
by the department of commerce.. Al
a result, it is stated, cotton hosiery
manufacturers are making less profit
than silk manufacturers.
Significant, because authentic and
unconscious, is this commentary on
shifting standard of living in Amer.
lea, and on the related subject of in.
crease in the cost Of living. 1t has
often been charged, believed and dis
believed that the increased cost of
living is largely due to rising stand
ards. There are doubtless other
causes, but those who believe that
this is not one of them are invited
to inspect the report above referred
to: "Americans are found TO be wear
ing silk hosiery more and more"
What's more. they are buying au-
tCmobiles, soaking up oceans of saso-
line, going to the movies without ever
considering the time, they are eating
grapefruit for breakfast, they are
smoking good cigars, they insist on
modern plumbing and heating, sleep
ing porches, firepIaces, pianos, and
photographic machines. The higher
standard of living, of course, is not
responsible for the whole struggle to
make income meet outgo. Bur of
being one of the major bearers of that
responsibility it cannot be acquitted.

One OF the addresses OF the las
days session was by Mr.. f. s. Law
! renee regarding packing plants an,
the need of raising more stock il
South Dakota.
Mr.. Lawrence dwelt briefly will
The problems involved in the packint
industry, and discussed the stock fea
turc. We get here in South Dakota
he said. about twenty-five million 3
year for cattle and about twenty mil
lion for hogs, five million for horses
about two and a half millions fol-
sheep and about twenty-five millions
for dairy products.
South Dakota, he continued, is
only at the beginning, and in This
connection he regards the establish
ment OF packing plants essential to
cope with the situation and to meet
the problems involved. He referred
to the organization of several pack
ing plant enterprises in Wisconsin
and one or two in Minnesota, each
with capital ranging from a quarter
of a million to four hundred thousand.
He also referred % the WATERFOWL
packing plant and pointed out its
possibilities. Mr.. Lawrence conclud-
ed his address as follows:
Il look forward, gentlemen, with
great confidence to the future of the
packing industry in this state, and
to the success of our company here
in this city. A large number of the
leading business men and farmers of
this locality have already actively
associated themselves with this en-
tcrprise, and have given valuable as
sistance in the organization of the |
company. by personal effort and by
investment in the shares of the com
AS soon as sufficient capital is
secured, the present pFant will be put
-Dto operation, and as rapidly as con
1itions demand, extensions and i'm
lrovements will be made in the plant,
also stock yards will be built for
he sorting and shipping of such live
took as cannot be Immediately used
ocally by the packing plant. In this
way farmers will be assured of a
teady market and the industry will
id very materially to the prosperity
I the city Of WATERFOWL, and the
towns. as wei las to the
community as a whole.
In conclusion, since this is an ad-
to a cooperative society. let t
lie ask you not to overlook the factI
lat there is a higher form of CO. c
peration than we have discussed s
that is the cooperation that arises t
ON a better understanding of one lr
needs, outside of the bust
ass and materialistic side of life, and n
t us work together for that greater n
operation, which we may call the t,
'otherhood of man. D

New York World.)

To President Wilson's practical pro-
posal for a settlement of the differ
ences between the railroad unions and
the railroad managers, the railroad
presidents make reply that the policy
of arbitration is "a fundamental prin-
ciple."
The World agrees with them. But
what is arbitration? What has been
going on in the White house day after
day but arbitration, with the president
of the United States as arbitrator? It
is certainly arbitration in fact if not in
form.
The railroad presidents justly de-
clare that ii is essential to the right of
every citizen that he have his day in
court. That is what they have been
having, and that is what the unions
have been having. Each side has pre-
sented its case at great length. The
president has sat in judgment. After
hearing all the arguments he has made
what seems to us to be fair and COM
nonsense proposal, which is:
l. That the eight be rec
ognized as the standard of hours and
the basis of wages.
2. That a small body of impartial
men be appointed to observe the work
ings of this eight-hour day in respect
to railroad operation.
3. That upon the report of this body
as to the facts, either side should
have the right to reopen the contro-
versy with a view to readjustment of
pay and practice.
4. That the experience of the rail-
roads with an eight-hour day would in
evitably guide the interstate commerce
commission in respect TO an increase
of freight rates to meet whatever finan-
cial obligations were incurred.
If this is not arbitration what is it?
The railroads say an eight-hour day
is impracticable. The men say it is
not. The evidence shows that an eight
hour day is in effect on certain roads.
The president says. try 1t out and see
whether it is universally practicable
or not, and haye competent judges ap-
pointed to decide. If that is not arbi-
tration, what is It?
When it comes to the matter of
money, the president says in effect

CONCERNING GAME.

The federal advisory committee on
the migratory bird law met in New
York on Aug. and recommended to
the department of agriculture a new
set of regulations covering the taking
of migratory game. These regulations.
with the approval OF the department of
agriculture, became effective Aug. q
The advisory committee has issued a
statement of its reasons for the rec
concentrations. 1t has tried to con-
serve both game and sport. 1t has
been unable to make all the conces-
sions asked. Game is fast vanishing.
and some species of It have already
become extinct. Others are upon the,
verge of determination. Facilities for
killing it rapidly improve. The num-
Der of hunters constantly increases.
State laws are in many instances in
adequate. and in others feebly en-
forced In the judgment of the com
mittee there will be little game left
in the United States within a very few
years unless the regulations under the
federal law are enforced and respected
Spring shooting has been every
where refused. 1t has been adopted as
fixed rule for the present that no
part of the country may shoot after
the game has started for its breeding
grounds in the north. That this works
a hardship upon some sections where
conditions in the fall are not always
favorable to sport, the committee very
well knows. Yet IL has not discovered

One night a number Of men in a
mining camp sat around q table play
ing cards for money. a man I'm white
cravat and other clerical indications
entered and said:
MY friends, you are making a great
mistake"
How do you make that out. par
son %
Drop your game for few minutes
and I will tell you"
The players assented and the clergy
man told the following story:
do you see this white necktie
Well, the reason I'm wearing II Ia be
cause of playing for money with a
friend. What occurred turned my at
tention TO using what gifts I possess
to fighting evil.
'Youne> fellows from rs to 81 are
apt to play these little games with
each other to pass the time. At that
age they have TO learn by experience
that since no one of them wishes 70
quit loser the game is endless. When
they get older they find IL doesn't pay
and usually give it up.
When l was 20 years old I was
one of set ofyoung fellows who play
ed poker in one another's rooms. At
first none of us was ever out more
than a few dollars at a sitting. But
our sittings grew longer and longer.
There was always some one of the
gang that was loser. and he would in
variably oppose breaking up, no mat
ter how late the hour. Not only did
our sittinngs grow longer, but our
stakes, our winnings, our losings grew
larger.
ION one occasion we came together
at 8 o'clock in the evening, and at 6
in the morning we adjourned till 8
o'clock the same evening. One OF the
party, Dock Collins, was out $50. He
seemed quite upset over the loss, for
he was a bank clerk on a thousand
dollars year, and his mother needed
most of his salary. l was the princi-
pal winner and readily assented to
giving him a chance to recoup as soon
as the day was done. We played all
the next night, and, though L gave
Dick every chance to get even, my
cards ran so strong and he bet SO high
that instead If winning he lost. At
o'clock in the morning he owed me
about $500

didn't wish to spend my nights giving
him a chance to win it back. / offer
ed to give back all had won. This
made him very angry, and he asked me
if l thought him a child TO make such
a proposition. So / consented that af-
ter one nights sleep I would continue
the game. ! was getting anxious TO
have him regain what he had lost, for
he seemed to be very badly shaken
up. So l made up my mind when we
came together again to bet high on
my low hands and low on my high
hands.
THE next time we sat down to play
