"Star Of the East"
Was the Best Ever

The Cantata, "Star of the
East, :" given by a chorus of over
sixty voices Wednesday night at
the Stake House, was the best
entertainment of the kind Snow
flake people have heard in many
day. The good music was
appreciated by the audience
from the beginning to the end.
Prof. S. L. Fish made a few re-
marks regarding the Cantata,
read several beautiful lines from
it, and read passages of script
ure telling of the birth of the
Savior. Prof. j. r. Crandel,
who directed the Cantata, is to
be commended for making it
possible for our people to have
an opportunity of hearing such
an excellent musical treat. Mrs.
w. II. Larson and Miss Mary
Fish were the organ and piano
accompanies.

The Story Of Wool.

On Friday, June 18, 1920, the Amer
lean public was amazed and shocked
by statement issued by J. M. Will
son, of Mckinley, Wyoming, president
of the Wyoming Wool Growers Asso-
ciation. This Mr.. Wilson issued an
appeal to the United States Govern
ment, to Secretary of the Treasury
Hous ton and to Governor Harding OF
the Federal Reserve Board, to- help
the wool growers sell surplus stock
of wool worth one hundred million
dollars.
1--WE cannot sell this wool to the
wooden clothing manufacturers" said
Mr.. Wilson, "because there IS glut.
Clothing manufacturers refuse to buy
wool until the public has bought what
they now have on hand
The public rubbed its eyes and
pricked up it's ears. A wool glut of a
hundred million dollars!
We have been told for the past four
years that there is great|world wide
shortage in wool; and on the basis of
this excuse the prices of woolen cloth
ing have shot up as high as 422 per
cent over the 1914 selling price.
How enormous the profits made by
the wooden manufacturers have been
is shown by the statement of the

Profits Are Much Higher.

1t is noteworthy that those papers
and supposed authorities who tell us
about labor being responsible. for high
prices do not give us compdrdtaue labor
and capital costs for the past and
present The reason why they do not
do this is that any approach to the
truth would expose their whole case.
Since 1914, in every important in
dustry controlled by mhnopollsts, the
proportion of the consumers price
going to labor has declined consider
ably. Direct labor always has re
ceived a small share of the selling price.
Sugar offers good case IN point.
In 1913 the total producing cost OF
sugar was approximately $3.50 per
hundred pounds, or slightly over three
tenths of the retail price. At the same
time profit items amounted to $1.26
per hundred pounds, or little less
than one-fourth of the retail price.
Between 1913 and 1920 the increase
in the price of sugar was nearly eight
times the increase IN labor costs. The
profit items absorbed 0ver fire times
the increase received by labor. BY
1920 labor's share had shrunk from
three-tenths to tWo-tenths OF the con-
sumers price, while profit margins
had risen to total of more than one
half of the cost of sugar to the con-
sumer.
Other commodities show similar
relationship. The increase in the price
of steel billets, for instance, between
1913 and 1918 was $21.69, as con-
trasted with the increase of labor costs
of $2.40. Corresponding figures for
steel rails were $26 and $3,26, and
copper profits, plus royalties, absorb
"a per cent of the selling price, while
labor receives little over 20 per cent.
In woolen goods, a woolen suit now re-
failing at $65 has increased by at
least $25 since 1910, or more than five
times the increase of total labor costs.
Does anyone know of any reason
why large capital should receive from
two to five times the profits which
were received before the war?

That the several 1aesl;al tahi6(ausand I'll i Demo-
crtas who marked Republican ballots
for Jake Preus in the hope that the
steel trust candidate would be elected,
did so because they believed Preus
would be easy for the Democratic
nominee to beat in the fall, is asserted
in an article in the Progressive News
|of Wadena. The article concludes
by. declaring for the necessity of third
ticket of League candidates. 1t fol-
lows:
"Well, that nice little primary ele-
ton is over. We didn't, but lots of
fellows did get mad sover it.
"Weg got beat too. At least that's
what they (the other bunch) is say
ing. Maybe we did. But if we did, a
beating doesn't feel very bad at all.
We feel better now, a whole lot, than
we did Tuesday morning We have
seen things actually happen.
Before the primaries we were only
surmising what might happen. We
did not know whether we had a thou
sand or hundred thousand votes be-
hind us. The primary revealed that
there were about 125,000 who stood
with us and testified thereto by their
votes; and shrewd statisticians are as
serting that there were $4,000 or more
members of the League or, friends of
the movement, who never got around
to vote at the polls at all, but who will
be there on election day.

ported that in spite of increasing its
surplus, from eight million dollars to
thrity-one million dollars, in spite of
$6,000,000 dividends paid to stock
holders in the last three years, in spite
of charging up against gross profits
every conceivable kind of item, in
Guiding dividends on preferred stock,
it now declares a dividend of SIS, ,513,-
Ais.
And on top of this comes a report by
Basil NJ. Manly, who has dug out OF
tie treasury reports the fact that the
American Woolen Company concealed
profit of another $15,000,000 from
the public.
On the showing of these facts it looks
as though there might have been
"profteering' somewhere. But the
Federal Courts say no.
Judge Julian Mack presided in the
court in which an indictment for prof.
iteering of more than 800 per cent was
brought against the American Woolen
Company, Charles E. Hughes, once
Republican candidate for president
and formerly justice of the United
States Supreme Court, was counsel
for the Woolen Trust. And on the
plea of Mr.. Hughes, Judge MACK
solemnly decided that while it is true
that the Lever Act prohibits profiteer,
ing on clothing, woolen cloth is not
clothing! And therefore the indict'
ment was quashed! -.
And on top of this, six railraod mer
in California were sentenced to prison
under this same Lever Act, for quit,
ting work when they we're not earning
enough to buy clothes for their child
rem!

primaries the entire state ticket of the

Simultaneous with this victory comes
an announcement from the National
Grange that it will have nothing to do

ers of the country, it believes, can work
successfully through the two old par
ties. How successfully did they work
through Democrats, recently at San
Francisco?
Farmers represented by the Americ-
an Farm Bureau Federation, by the
Farmers National Council, by the
National Bureau of Farmers Organi-
cations ETC. asked for the retention
of the highest rates of taxation levied
during the war on estates, incomes,
war and excess profts"; for "legisla-
ton to establish control of the meat
packing industry"; and for govern
ment: ownership and democratic
operation of the railways

banks of the Cottonwood river, Sun
day. The day was spent in fishing,

all present enjoyed themselves i'm

the pleasant outing was the splendid
cooking of VIM. Forester, who demon
strated that he is just as proficient in

CHINESE PHEsANTS
ARE A NUISANCE

Mongolian pheasants are taking Ger
tain of thecrops on many Of the iarms
of this project, indicating an increase
in number since the game birds were
planted here ago about ten years ago
that conforms to the usual rate of
propagation of the species. ]. w.
Ferguson, living one mile south oi
this city, complains that the game
laws are too strict and contends that
he should be allowed to protect his
property from depreciation by the
pheasants. He is much wrought up
over the fact that his strawberry
patch which is doing so we'll this
year, forms special piece de resist
ance for the marauding birds which
he drives out many times each day
only to find them back eating berries
as soon as he has turnel his back.
Now, Mr.. Furgerson says strawberries
are nearly worth their weight in gold
and that if he is denied the right to
kill the intruders i'll this instance he
wants the county to protect his prop
erty. which is a viewpoint that carries
convincing logic.-Fallon Standard.
