recent revival Of interest among labor
examinations in cooperative trading
enterprises among workingmen-such
as stores. and even banks and fac
tories-are perhaps the most hopeful
signs upon a rather gloomy industrial
horizon.

Origin of the

DECOGNITION of the ''tabu" (the
word is Polynesian). in one form or
another, is almost universal. Thus
alcohol has recently been made tabu
in this country; and enthusiastic re-
formers are anxious to have tobacco
put IN the same list.
The primitive natives of Polynesia
have ''tabu days" when nobody is
allowed to indulge in amusements.
They correspond to our old fashioned
Sundays. On other tabu days meat
must not be eaten.

Seas the bodies Of chiefs and priests.

allowed to- touch them. At certain.
periods the chiefs cannot themselves
touch food with their fingers, and
must eat like dogs unless fed BY

move it. He may declare his own.

The CQnnibQl Islanders

WHEN Captain Cook, the famous
w navigator. landed at Poverty bay,
New: Zealand, in October, 1863, the
natives took his ship for Il gigantic
bird and Were struck with the size
and beauty of its wings. He spent
nearly Il year cruising around the
islands and cultivating' friendly rela-
tons with the Inhabitants.
They appeared to be amiable and
exceptionally intelligent: yet. %infanti-
Tcidc was commonly practicel, and
c%annibalism was an established habit.
The Maorisithought nothing of making
an armed descent upon a distant
island, rounding up it's people. and
accomplishing a thorough cleanup by
eating them all in lcisurely fashion.
Captain Cook estimated their num-
Der ut 100000. Today there are not
more than 10000 left alive. Like
other native races all over Oceania,
the Maoris arc dying out. They
earned the admiration of Europeans
by the skill, and bravery with which
they defended their country in a long
series of wars against the white in
vadcrs. At ono time the British had
10000 soldiers ip New Zealand.
The origin of the Maoris is uncer-

Frieda Joachim. aged Is, who has
been a patient alta local hospital since

late Wednesday afternoon.
Funeral arrangements have not yet
been made, but the parents and other
relatives of the deceased are expected
to arrive from Wales. N. D., late to-
day to take charge Of the body and,
it is probable that. the funeral will
be held at Wales.
Miss Joachim and one of her broth
ers were severely burned in their
home at Wales during the first infiu-
enza epidemic Of 1918, when practic-
ally all members Of the family except
themselves were i'll Of the. disease.
They were preparing food for some OF
the household when a gasoline stove
which they were using exploded. The
brother lived but two days after the
accident but Miss Joachim, though
in a critical condition, fingered until
yesterday. At times she was thought
to be improving and hopes were held
out for her ultimate recovery.
/, The deceased is survived by her
parents and several brothers and
sisters.
