~ IL seen," says the report, that
costs for 1918 were more than double
those for the year In which the Euro
peah war began. The major portion OF
TINS increased cost has been due to con-
stantly rising wages and prices of SUD-
plies. but in 1918, particularly In the
latter part of It, increased smelling and

rates became factors of serious impor-

concentrating varieties OF ore. A sum-
mary OF operations Of the teaching plant

was closed down recently indicates that
when all of the copper for the entire

punish, but almost invariably the
effort ends in threats. And yet it
is almost impossible for mob of
several hundred people to come to-

of them. The trouble seems to be
that in the communities where the

that imperatively demands the right
kind of prosecution. Take the lat

shocked the whole country. If the
people of that city are as concerned
as they ought to be about the at

LABOR STRIKES ANCIENT

Labor strikes are not the product
of the last hundred years, as some
people think according to a London
paper. They were frequent even IN
the earliest recorded days.
One of the greatest strikes that
the world has ever known occurred
in Egypt, in the reign of Cheops
several thousand years before the
Christian era.
Cheops ordered great pyramid
to be built in his honor, and while
it was in course of construction, il
is said that 5000 workmen downed
tools and refused to continue the
work.
The reason they gave was that
the food with which they were fur
nished was insufficient in quantity
and poor in quality.
The contractors tried arguing
with them, and when that failed
soldiers were ordered to drive the
strikers back to work. Many thou
sands of them were cut to pieces
while a certain number escaped ant
fled the country.
The others were compelled to re
sumo their work.

Where the Shoe Pinches.

Louis H Haney of the Southern
Wholesale Grocers is quoted as
saying before the senate committee
on agriculture that 1.-THE packers
business is too big to be healthy"
Mr.. Haney meant it was too big
to be healthy" for the Southern
wholesale grocers, who, according
to Mr.. Haney, are undersold by
the packers. This is a state of
affairs which the people of the.
South regard as highly healthful to
themselves At least they have
not gone on record to the contrary.
This raises the question: Is the
Kenyon bill designed to hamstring
the packers for the benefit of the
wholesale grocers or Is it designed
to protect the people7
Mr.. Haney alleges that the
packers control 2s'per cent of the
wholesale grocery business of the
country and he predicts that after
complete monopoly is accomplished
the packers will cease to be salts
fled with small profit. Small
profits are beneficial rather than
detrimental to the public, but are
the packers to be hung, drawn and
quartered now for crimes which
their competitors predict they will
commit in the future? The pack
ers. big and little, should be prop
erly regulated. All business, big
and little, should be properly reg
ulated in the interest of all the
people,
But to make mere business a
crime, in the same breath that we
admit its benefcence, would be
both foolish and unjust. The big
packers are a product of evolution
and they we're evolved from the
wasteful, I'm hygieui,, sinking
slaughter houses of a generation or
two ago. Does anybody want to
turn back to them, or even take a
single step in that direction3 If
there is any iniquity in the big
packers, we believe that it can be
eliminated without polling them
as they poll a steer.-Rocky

BRAVERY REWARDED

Of how little Importance and SIG
nificance were some of the orders
and decorations bestowed upon
princes and mobiles during the war
is indicated by a little story low
going the rounds in Vienna. 1t
concerns Albrecht. the son of Arch
duke Friedrich.
He was assigned 10 the front with
a Tyrol Kaiser regiment, but with
instructions to the colonel and COM
mander that he must never be en-
dangered, In 1917 the regiment
had a strenuous battle with the
Italians at Schluderbacn and suf-
fered heavy losses.
When the authorities looked over
the list of accommodations for
decorations after the battle it was
noticed that Archduke Albrecht' S
name was not present. 1t was learn
ed that he had been three kilo-
meters behind the line during the
fighting. The colonel declared he
could not cite him as one of his
bravest, since it would make i'll
feeling among the soldiers and was
not justified.
An order then was issued COM
manding the colonel to recommend
.Aibrecht for the golden medal for
bravery. and when the officer re-
fused he was relieved from his COM
mand. -~--..

THE COST OF PEACE

With the ending Of hostilities, the
British government has on its hands
unused s50,0o0.000 military
chemical plant, the most important
in the empire. employing during
the war $4,000 persons. Apparently
the government is undecided wheth-
er TO Try to utilize it or to aband-
on it. Economists say it is too
inaccessible for private commercial
use and that its plant and machinery
should be strapped and the govern
ment should pocket the loss.
The workers are rapidly being de-
modified and the population of
Gretna has shrunk to 5000, Re
cruited as they were from almost
every branch of industry, many Of
them unskilled and inexperienced,
the absorption of these workers into
the new economic order is giving
no little concern to the government
and 10 themselves, for economicalls
Great Britain has not yet recovered
her balance.
The unemployed munition work
ers,-and Gretna is only one gov
eminent activity of many similarly
affected.-are taking the 'unem-
ployment wage" provided by the
government, and are making the
most of it. AS this wage is much
less than they received while max
ing shot and shell, being about
$3.50 week, there are fears they
will soon miss their high wages and
in time may become the cause of in
dustrial unrest. Some time must
elapse while military plants are be-
ing transformed into factories that
will produce the things needful in
ordinary life
The factory has a wonderful
housing system with comfortable
homes, churches and recreation halls
for the workers. and in ordinary
circumstances it ought to be useful
for many years to come. But the
highly explosive nature Of the pro-
duct necessitated the planting of the
industry outside the ordinary walks
of commerce and manufacture This
marks il reasonably certain in the
minds of economists that Gretna
viii have to be abandoned.

HAVE TO SEARCH FOR POET
Great Mind by No Means Easy to Find,

cover Him.

There was once a small but mighty
nation. now numerous as the sands Of
the seashore. and no longer so inter
esting. To this nation was born a
poet. and they made him the poet OF
all time. They took him and taught
him all they knew-and they had
great things to teach; and when, at
their command, he made great dramas,
they stood at his elbow; and every
thing they gave him he gave back to
them tenfold.
England was then Shakespeare's
land.
The poet is always amongst us; the
difficulty is how to find him he is like
the proverbial needle in a bundle of
hay.
But one thing is neutrality-suspicious.
without love will not find him; they
leave a desolation, and call 1T peace
nay, they call 1t culture. Critics OF
this sort will allow nothing to exist
except themselves. No; I am wrong.
There is one thing they admire more

LIKE THE BOOK OF GENESIS
Description of Flood Of Time Of Noah
Found Among Ancient Records
of ChaIdea.

Perhaps the tracing OF the story or
the book of Genesis is the true fas-
cination that Mesopotamia has for
those who have time to read. The
great boats of the Euphrates have the
identical lines of the toy ark that can
be bought in London. Where a pent
roof has beer added for our purposes
the two are one in shape. A Eu-
pirates "bellum" arranged as a sick
barge is the toy ark of childhood. Is
that toy ark an authentic tradition In
its shape? 1t is almost certain to be.
The Euphrates boats are pitched in
side and out with pitch, as was that
ark. In these same bellums, some as
large as 20 tons, we may find British
batteries sailing the Euphrates and n
modified menagerie could easily walk
on board. One more suggestion Of
the toy shop tradition strikes the cas-
ual observer. The tribespeople from
the hills who work on the Tigris and
Euphrates wear high black felt hats.
a topper without a brim. Are Mr..
and Mrs. Noah really correctly
dressed?
Then on top Of the discovery Of the
ark comes the more serious reading
of n parallel version of the Bible
story of the flood found in the cunei-
form in Layard's tablets from the
Royal library of Ashurabanipal at
Nineveh, copied or collected possibly
from Sargon's library at Accade or
perhaps 1,S00 years. Were the stories
of Genesis the household stories of
Chaldea 1900 years ago? 1t would
seem so, when from Babylon is un-
earthed a seal with the representa-
ton of the temptation, Adam and
Eve, the serpent and the apple tree.
