tionally good story Of coveted jewels;
ono that Of the Pierrot- Columbine love
Of Griffith and Carlota, the girl with
the wonderful dramatic voice, and the
other that of the struggle OF two men
to obtain possession of tho Jewels that
had been handed down from Carlota's s
grandmother, "rubics and diamonds
from the crown jewels Of Kumania, a
part Of the Constantnople loot centu-
ries ago-and the center ruby in the
tiara from Persia, ono of the finest in
the world" Her grandmother had been
one Of the worlds great sopranos, and
the jewels had been gifts from kings
and emperors. The lyric melody Of the
love of the boy and the girl dances a
moonlit song above the diapason Of the
plotting and tho defeat Of the Ameri-
can, Odgen Ward, and the Bulgarian,
Count Jurka. This story Is not to be
set aside lightly, for it shows refine
ment in construction and power in
cumulating a seething crisis, as wave
crests near the shore.
The inventive genius Of Carolyn Wells
has wide scope In her latest thriller,
In the Onyx Lobby (Doran). Prac-
tically all the action Of this story is
confined to an apartment house near
Times Square. An English manufac-

More Twins Stories
U UCY FITCH PERKINS has addet
two new stories to her Tui1

r UCY FITCH PERKINS has added
two new stories to her Twin
series. The Spartan Twins and
The italian Twins (Koughton Mifain).
The Spartan Twins is the story Of
two Greek children who lived years and
years ago. There WAS scarcely any
excitement in the small boys and girls
lives, for they lived on farm which
their father ran under the direction of
Pericles, the Athenian. One day their
father took them with him to see his
master. In some way they became
separated from him, lost their way, and
rot knowing what to do crouched up in
the corner Of the temple steps. While
they sat there they overheard the con-
versation Of tho priest, who was Jealous
Of the influence pericles bad with the
people and was plotting TO bring him
to destruction. Ths youngsters save
their master and ara rewarded.
This Spartan Twins IL amusing and
interesting, but Miss Perkins has given
The Italian Twins touch that should
give It first place in the hearts Of chill
dren. The two italian kiddles really
live in the story, and their unfortunate
mistake In picking up with the hurdy-
gurdy man and his wife and then being
kidnapped by them leads to a series Of
exciting and sometimes nearly tragic
experiences. The boy Is lovable. He
never once forgets to be brave He
plans their escape. botherng her as lit

prejudice was very strong In
England, a miscrcant named
titus Oates pretended to discover a
ropish plot for the suh~ersion of the
British government and the massacre
OF all Protestants. The fictitious dis
closures Of Oates and his accomplices
were received with implicit faith by
the bigoted and credulous London mob.
Many innocent Catholics were put to
death before the hysteria died down
and the fraud was revealed.
Much Of the spirit Of Titus Oates Is
to be found in very extraordinary
work entitled The Cause of World
Unrest, published by Putnam's. The
name Of the author is withheld; but
tho book i. irdorsed by II. A. Gwynne,
editor of Tho London Morning Post
wto writes introductions to the Eng
lish end American editions. The thesis
of thu work, briefly stated, is that
every sinsurgent movement from the
French Revolution to tho present time
has been to sons extent manipulated
by certain fanatical sect Of Jews
for the ultimate purpose Of subjugating
Christian peoples and establishing a
Jewish world empire. The Free Masons
arc also implicated in this remarkable
plot; but the author seeks to give the
Impression that the Gentiles In tho
Masonic lodges hsvs been tools in the
hands Of thar Jewish associatss.
Evidence Not Convincing
Such 8 ssrious and far-reaching se-
russtion should be based upon sda-
Quats and in1ontrovextih,s evidence.
pus evidence, In tha generally accepted
sense OF ths word, is almost totally
scking throughout the work. The
author constantly speaks IN terms of
gossip, ruraor and innuendo. His n ost
important proof is contained IN
protocols Of the unknown Russian,
Nius. Their value and Significance
will hs discussed later Outside of
the protocols the book chiefly erpha-
sizes the following points; The influ
ence OF the Tlluminati and the Free
Masons upou the French Revolutions
certain alleged secret rites rnd prsc-
tices OF The Masonic order; fhe pres
ence Of Jews in the International So
calist movement; the large number Of
Jews among tbs leaders Of thu Turkish
and Russian revolutiors
In regard to the French iievolution,
The author relies exclusively upon ex
tremely reactionary and clerical his
torians, who are eager TO sscribe the
overthrow Of the monarchy to any
cause except tho true one, the over
whelming desire Of the French people
In destroy a corrupt, tyrannical and
inefficient government. The salt tax
had more IN do with the French Revo-
luton than tha FREQ Masons; the lack
Of bread was 81 much moro significant
factor than the imaginary rachins-
tions Of the 1ews. II s quite possible
that certain Masonic lodges became
csnters Of radical propaganda; this ia
equally srue Of certain cafes and GER
tain clubs To interpret a mighty
popular movement, carried through
and defended by the masses of the
French people in the face of the
hercest assaults from without and from
within, as the work Of few myster-
ious eonspirators is an almost laugh
able case Of historical myopis.

Farm Wages Highest Known.

At no time have the rates of farm
labor been as high in this country as
they were in 1919, certainly as far
back as 1866, when the first inves-
tigation of this subject was made by
the Bureau of Crop Estimates, Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
Averages for the United States are
IN mind, and not local rates. For Ia
Dor hired by the month with board
the average rate was s39.S2. and
among the geographic divisions the
saerage was as low as s3054 in the
South. Atlantic and as high as $62.96
in the western, including the noun
tains and Pacific states. Without
board the average for the United
States was $500 and the lowest was
$44.03 in the South Atlantic States
and the highest, $S7.12 in the West
ern. Extras, such as firewood, milk,
etc, are not included.
Harvest wages per day with board
reached the top figure of s4.4S in the
North Central States west OF the
Mississippi River and the lowest IL
cure of $2.2S in the former States.
while the latter states had the lowest
average, S2.S2.
Statements in similar form Cor day
wages for work outside of harvest
with board make the United States
averages s2.45, that of the North
Central States west OF the MISSISSIPPI
pi River 1922 and the South Allan
tic States SIS; the rates without
board, in the same order, were $3.12,
S4.03, and $2,39.

Proper Dress For Lady Voters.

A woman, actual or hypothetical,
writing to a department" in an
Iowa newspapers, desires to know
how a woman should dress when she
goes to the polls. The department
editor seems to avoid the question.
Now is an important matter and
is certain of its phases and should
be treated so. Experience, Of course,
is the only lamp by which to dress
for the ballot box and as feminine ex-
perience and history is lacking in
this respect it may be we'll to turn
TO some sartorial examples furnished
in the past by mere males.
There, for instance, was old Joel
Blank, who came to the township
election on foot rather early and
stayed until the ballots were count
ed. Usually one leg of his overalls
was ripped from the bottom of the
leg we'll up the calf and tapped in
the breeze created by his activity.
His boots bore unmistakabIe evil
dence that he was feeding a load"
that spring and he never could chew
tobacco without a trickle on each
side of his generous mouth. There
too, came Joe Webster, who used to
wear a pair of overalls front side
back when holes were in them thus
thriftily making the most of his
wearing apparel. jun Huntsman al
ways left one leg of his trousers
hang rakishly over the top of his
cow-hide boots. Old Mr.. Tucker al
ways dressed up, put on his fine
boots and the coat he was married in
forty years before and tied an old
fashioned stock about his throat.
The village idiot always attended,
wearing vacant smile. However, all
except the idiot voted. 1t appeared
that was what they came for.
Fact is that dress. il sufficient to
comply with the legal provisions
thereunto made and provided by the
statutes of the commonwealth does
not bar from exercise of that sover-
eign privilege soon to be granted to
the most charming of her sex When
the law and the constitution shall
refer to all citizens over FL as legal

or previous condition of servitude

skirt or train, pattern hat or home

Announcement is made of the

talked Of play, Uucle Toms Cabin.
Many amusement enterprises have
grown from small companies to two
and three car shows, the Terry COM
pany being one that is found in this
class, having started twenty-eight
years ago with a small troupe of ten
people gradually augmenting their
attractions until now they are carry
ing fifty people and travelling in their
own Pullman cars. Their great sue
I cess being due to the fact that the
shows management has always had
the energy, push and honest business
dealings, in presenting this NAM
moth Uncle Toms Cabin Co. From
the day of their beginning with
small things, they have mounted up
wards until now they stand at the
top without competitors and now
Terrys Uncle Toms Cabin is the
household word in many states. The
teachers in the schools, the preachers
from their pulpits, the lecturer
from his platform, fathers and mo-
theirs each and everyone encourage
the attendance to the worlds great
est slave drama, that Harriet Ward
Beecher Stowe wrote, on the colored
race. The Terry Company presents
this national drama in it's entirety
Neither expense or time has been
spared to make the Terry show one
of the best on the road. Having
equipped the stage with all necessary
scenic and electrical effects, and the
presenting cast is made up of the
very best dramatic talent that could
possibly be secured, and anyone that
witnesses the production can rest as
sured that they will see as complete
a production as if it were shown in
the larger cities in the first-class
theatres.
The name Terry is a guarantee in
itself for whenever this name is
found upon the advertising the peo-
