CHURCHES PROVIDE
SOCIALS THIS WEEK
Methodists And Christian Mo-
thers of Assumption Church
Give Entertainments

Thabes Caine performed the diff
cult role of bridegroom Tuesday
night at the Methodist church with
astonishing ease and grace. But the
wedding ceremony was mock cere-
mony and the blushing bride was his
pal, Harold Vinje, and that perhaps
is the reason why the bridegroom per-
formed his part so fearlessly, part
which has made many brave man
quake with fear.
The mock wedding was the prin-
cipal feature of the entertainment
and social evening given by the Ep-
worth League of the Methodist church.
1t was very realistic and impressive
in every particular. The best man,
Arthur Hendricksen, the bridesmaid,
Harvard Olson and the solemn faced
minister Osvold Dolven, performed
their parts most admirably. Miss
Hazel Witwer played the wedding
march.
On the interesting program that
was given after the mock ceremony
was piano duet by Misses Florence
Ringness and Amanda Dolven, two
readings by Mrs. William Hope, a
vocal duet by Miss Gladys Slawson
and Mrs. F. A. Stensland and a cello
solo by Arthur Henricksen. After
the literary program games were
played and light refreshments were
served.
On the same evening the Christian
Mothers of the Assumption church
entertained at cards and dancing al
Linne's hall. There we're about zoe
guests present. The first part of the
evening was spent around the card ia,
bles and at 1870 a musical pro.
gram was rendered. Norbert Walz,
John Kreiss, Or., Charles O'Connell
and Mrs. A. l.. Stenger each sang
solos that We're we'll received. Later
in the evening games were played, a
number of old fashioned and modern
dances were enjoyed by all and before
the merry party adjourned refresh
ments were served.

THRIFT DAY FEB. 3
A UNIQUE HOLIDAY
Showing How Net Results, and
Those Only, Count for
Ones Labors

February Sd is approaching, and as
we are about to again observe it as
Thrift Day, little more than casual
thought should bring much better re-
suits.
This a time when almost every
line of business is enjoying a boom.
outstanding the scarcity of
raw materials, the rise in sympathe-
tic values and cost of production,
net results show very greatly in
creased trade and profit.
This whole country is now enjoying
the most prosperous time in its his
tory. Money is plentiful. Very many
industries are running overtime. Many
new projects are being launched, and
tn ere seems to be work for all. All
lines complain of great scarcity of
help and wages are almost universal
ly at the highest figures ever known.
The result is a record breaking
prosperity that completely oversha-
dows che Incidental "high cost of liv
ing
But, with such easy going the purse
strings have been loosened and ex-
penses allowed to grow apace. The
more made, the more spent. The
point of necessities for normal living
has long been passed and present-day
standards are not short of luxurious
extravagance!T The only limit on the
expense account seems to be the in
come.
The present high cost of living
is bringing about sort of compulsory
thrift, but under a strong protest,
because the necessities of life are
calling for retrenchment from the
pleasures.
One of our contemporaries asks,
"Do you hear any one kicking about
the high cost of pleasure Every
one instinctively knows the answer
AS producers-we stand
with the best. But as savers-thrift
economists-we rank very near the
foot. The amount saved is pitiably
small as compared to the amount
earned.
Healthy robust life, with a gener-
GUS allowance of healthful, recreative
pleasure requires surprisingly small
outlay. But at the present rate, we
are each living up three or four

M. A. A. WINS FIRST
BASKET BALL GAME
Local Season Opened Thursday
Night of Last Week With
Overtime Victory

The Morris Basket Ball season
started Thursday night of last week
when the Morris Athletic Association
made whirlwind finish in an extra
five minutes of play and nosed out the
Herman All Stars by close score of
16 to Ia. 1t was one of the best
played games that has ever been
seen on a local basket ball court.
The score at the end of the fisrt
half was IL to in favor of Her
man. The Herman team showed the
superior team work that comes with
considerable practice. 1t was the
first time that the Morris players had
ever played together.
The local players played together
much better the second half and al
lowed the visitors only a lone point
during this period while they were
pi!ing up four points. The second
half ended with the score tie, IL to
IL. Five minutes more was given
the teams to determine the winner.
1t W s the most exciting bit of basket
ball ever seen in Morris. The ner-
man team scored almost Immediately
and it was not until the last two
minutes of play that the Morris play
ers were able to toss the ball into the
basket. The local athletes we're able
to do it twice in quick succession be-
fore the final whistle blew The same
teams will be matched again soon and
another exciting game is assured.
Following are the players, their
positions and summary of the score

MORE LIGHT, PLEASE

After reading the editorials in last weeks Buckeye News the editor of the Williams News felt somewhat dazed and would ask editor Mitten, if. he thinks democracy a failure and would substitute for our popu- lar form of government an i'm perial form like that of Ger many with a kaiser at the head. This editor has been very much of a democrat but he keeps an open mind and if the editor of the Buckeye Valley News can present sufficiently strong ar guments for imperialism in America, the editor of the Williams News promises to fall for it.
 The editor of the Williams News deplores as sincerely as anybody the inefficiency of our government, but he does not lay such ineficiency to democ- racy. He believes on the con- trary that more democracy would work for efficiency. We have too much one man gov ernment, now. The political boss is as imperial as Billy, himself. More democracy the People in the saddle, would abolish the boss and put gov ernment, officially, into the hands of experts directly re- sponsible to the voters. The real governing power would re- main in the hands of the gov erned. It is not this way in Germany and the man who should act upon such a suppo- sition in the Kaiser's realm would very quickly be shown the getting off place.
 Give us more light, brother!

Tariff A Dead Issue

The voters of the United States rejected a high protec- tive tariff not because it is theo- retically wrong. but because as the republican party applied the theory of protection it was highway robbery. The fight to eliminate the robbery was quadriennial the robbers win ming always but the opposition gradually gaining until it was finally victorious and the tariff barons lost their grip on the legislative powers of our coun- try.
 The truly patriotic, saw long ago the harm of continual tar if agitation and they sought to take the tariff out of politics. Nearly thirty years ago senator Plumb, a republican senator from Kansas, proposed a non- partisan tariff commission to whose hands the tariff should be committed and thereby end the quadriennial tariff fight which distracted the public mind from other questions which were asking for solution. The protected interests would have none of it. They perfer- red the fight, since they were sure to be winners.
 The growth of the opposi- tion to the robber tariff had it's correlative in the correspond ing growth of the tariff com mission sentiment which has finally brought the commission, with powers too limited, true, but time will remedy that. So the tariff which has been used to perpetuate party con- trol and thru that control build up enormous private fortunes, can no longer be used as a po- litical issue. The theory of pro- tection has not suffered by talk ing the tariff out of politics. In- deed it has gained. It may now be judged and will be judg d on it's merits. The finding of a non-partisan tariff commission will command confidence and if those findings favor rational

Is Mrs. Byrne a Martyr?

Mrs. Ethel Byrne of New York has been sentenced to serve thirty days in the city workhouse for disseminating information on the subject of birth control.
 The message which Mrs Byrne has for humanity is for the poor. The well-to-do and the rich already have the mes sage and they practice birth control. Note the small famil- ies of those who are eminently able to care for large or at least larger families. The poor have large families, not be- cause they want larger famil- ies than they can care for, but because they have not the knowledge possessed by their more fortunate neighbors. Mrs. Byr2e would instruct the poor SO that they too, could limit their families so as to conform to their ability to care for them. And she is serving a jail sent ence for offering this informa- tion. ''
 Upton Sinclair says the law opposes the limitation of the families of the poor in the in terest of cheap labor. The News has no knowledge on this point, but the News does quite agree with Sinclair when he says that legislation which has imprisoned Mrs. Byrne has been put into the statute books thru ignorance and bigotry.
 
 It is very probable that the time will come when the birth rate will have to be controlled or the death rate increased in the interest of limited popu- lation. We shall then have to choose between killing off ma tured men and women as some think logical, and controlling the birth rate as Mrs. Byrne proposes. If she is right, she is martyr to a good cause.
