and happiness. The discipline of life
requires, it seems, disillusionment in
friendship, disaster to investment and
enterprise, occasional failure on the
part of the body to meet the tax upon
it. But for worry there is no excuse.
For fear, there should be no place.
We have been spared in Moscow the
sudden increase in riches which the
prayer book instructs us to petition
agaist, and we have been spared the
poverty and failure which beget de-
spair. We are prosperous in the
highest sense of the word. We have
every reason to enter heartily into
an endorsement of the creed of ma
tional prosperity day. Would that our
neighbors across the water had equal
cause to celebrate such a day!

DON'T SUFFER-LAUGH
AT STOMACH MISERY
r .HOdgins VIII Return the Money If
Mi-O-na Does Not Relieve
Dyspepsia

Among all the remedies in R. Hold
gins's popular drug store, there are
few that he is willing to sell on a
guarantee to refund the money if they
do not cure.
Mona, the famous dyspepsia rem
edy has helped SO many of his GUS
toners that he says, eff this remedy
does not relieve you, come back to my
store and l will cheerfully return your
money"
Anyone who has dyspepsia, indiges-
tion, headaches, dizzy feelings or liver
troubles, should take advantage of this
to be made well without any risk of
spending their money to no purpose.
Mona will relieve you, will regulate
the digestion, will enable youst eat
what you want. If it does not do all
this it will not cost you a cent.
R. Hodgins has sold hundreds of
boxes of Mi-o-na and has yet to re-
ceive the first complaint from any
customer. Such a record is simply
marvellous and speaks volumes for the
of the remedy.
Do not suffer a day longer with dis
ordered digestion. If Mi-o-na does not
give o complete satisfaction you
have R. Hodgins's personal guarantee
to return your money. 1913

PUBLICITY

The trouble with most of the pub
licity sent out by federal bureaus or
given out by federal employees is that
it is an advertisement of individuals
and boasting statements dealing in
general terms with the success of the
government employees. That is why
newspapers throw most of the bur-
eau and department publicity into the
w~astebasket.
What newspaper men are willing to
spend their money in printing is the
actual teachings of these agents, not
general statements concerning the
fame, the popularity, and the merit of
the extension workers, the bureau rep
resentatives, or the federal depart
ment heads.
For example the Star-Mirror re-
ceives daily On an average OF n
waste-basketful of government-dis-
tributed publicity which is absolutely
nothing but advertising matter for in
dividuals who have a good job and
want a better me-. If the government
bureaus would train their men and
force their publicity agents to send
out summaries of what these jub-

The fact that Third street east OF
Polk may some day be included in a
paving district should not delay long
er the hauling of numerous loads of
sand to that abused highway. The pub
lie road along the city park might as
well be made passable as to be left
year after year in a condition that
practically closes the main approach
to the city from the great eastern
farming country.

HEALTH, WEALTH, AND HAPPI-
NESS

~fIoo
Taking the count of all the ele-
ments which contribute to prosperity
Moscow must feel on this national
prosperity day that her people have
an abundance of mercies. Of health
wealth, and happiness the commun-
ity has great store.
In the matter of health a season
which proved in most places disas-
trous was kindly here. There may
have been grippe in plenty and in Sc
we're forms, but there were few ia
and the community has been visited
by no epidemic more disastrous than
mild chickenpox.
In wealth ell the signs point con
clusively to a plentiful harvest and
suitable prices. AS this is an agri-
cultural community first and last, the
prosperity of the agricultural enter
Drises insures prosperity to all the
rest. The snow which has been a
tedious inconvenience has been also
the storer of great supplies of mois-
ture. There have been no floods, no
destructive winds, no sudden freezes
after warm spells. There are no
houses unrented. There is no poverty
which the community is not able
through its associated charities to re-
1ieve intelligently and effectually. Not
a single business house has closed its
doors as the result of failure. And
there has been no necessity of over
coming a depression found elsewhere
Tue to the sudden closing of sa-
looms. Conditions are steady in all
lines of business and in all profess
sions. In education the community
is equally wealthy. Although we
have by no means all the money we
need with which to carry on easily
a standard school system, still all
the children are in school; there is
enough money to pay the teachers;
being successfully prosecuted in spite
of hampering lack of funds here and
there.
In happiness Moscow certainly must
be richer than it realizes, richer than
most towns. The domestic life OF
Moscow is tranquil and firmly estab-
Iished. Divorces are uncommon.
Scandals almost never heard of. Hus-
bands and wives in Moscow dwell
together in mutual confidence, re-
spect and affection and their children
have the blessings of a harmonious
home. In business circles greater
concord than every was known in the
old days has beer established and
maintained by the chamber of COM
merce. Churches are at once stronger
and more numerous than they were
and are better organized and equipped
to fortify and stimulate the morals of
the community. In his home life, his
business life and his religious life,
the resident of Moscow has the means
of great happiness and takes advan-
tage of the means.
Since we are all human beings be-
set by human faults and living in con-
diitions created by human skill, we
must expect imperfections in our
mercies, flaws in our health, wealth, !

D. P. Bullard Institutes
 New Wage System
(Continued from Page 1.)

(Continued from Page 1.) has an unlimited maximum hourly rate dependent only on ability, and a minimum rate of 50 cents.
 'Meehanies of good average ability are rated in Class B for which a rate of 45 cents per hour has been established. Advancement in grade will be the logical reward of proved merit and diligent service.
 ''In Class c have been grouped those mechanics of lesser skill but who, by their records, show merit and possibilities of development which will warrant advancement to the higher classes. The hourly rate is 40 cents.
 'sAII apprentices, both special and regular, are grouped in Glass D and, as their terms expire, promotion will be promptly made to the classification for which they have qualified. The apprenticeship rates are advanced approximately 10 per cent
 .HThe non productive skilled and unskilled labor, have been grouped in Class E which has a minimum rate of 25 cents per hour and a maximum which is limited only by occupation and skill and proficiency therein. In recruiting this force preference will be shown to those who can speak and write the English language and who show pessi Utilities of development and advan cement.
 gro the unskilled there is offered the opportunity to acquire skill through the regular or special apprenticeship courses in Glass D, Our eventual aim and hope is to have a mechanical organization composed mainly of AA and A men, with B, c and D men in sufficient numbers only to provide for natural growth and expansion and make up for such small losses as are bound to occur in any large ofganiza- tien.
 tAs a further incentive to continued and regular attendance we will main tain our continued service bonus pay ments of 10 per cent. Eof full weekly wage. This is in no sense a part of the hourly rate nor is it considered by us a wage pawn ent. It is a distinct reward for regular and continued ser vice and is made possible only by the fulf1lnaent of production schedules which could not otherwise be main. tained."

To Drum Up Trade.


 The most extensive investigations in- to forefgn-marke conditions ever un- dertaken at one time by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, Department of Commerce, will be un- der way soon after the beginning of the new fiscal year in July. These investigations will be aimed at the newer and more undeveloped markets especially those in South America, Chi living well outside of the. fighting zone. na, India, Africa, and Australia. Twelve different lines are to be inves- tigated and fifteen distinct examina- tiona to find suitable agents for the work have been announced for some time in May,
 For South America, agents are being sought to study and report on markets for construction material and machin- cry, fancy groceries, furniture. glass and glassware, jewe1ry and silverware, motor vehicles. paper and printing sup plies. railway supplies, and stationery and office supplies. In the Far East, Africa, and Australia a study will be made of the markets for boots and shoes. electrical eoodsss motor vehicles and railway supplies. One agent is also sought to look into possibilities for American commercial and indus trial investments in South America and another to make a similar study in the Far East.
