HISTORY REVEALED BY NAMES
BY Them II Is Possible to Ascertain
What Races Have Inhabited
Different Districts.

In the earliest days Of the human
family, all known persons, places and
groups Of human beings must have
had names by which they were recog-
nized.
The study Of these names and their
survival in civilization enables us Of
ten to ascertain what races inhabited
districts now peopled by those Of en-
tirely different speech.
The names of mountains and rivers
In many parts Of England, for in
stance, are Celtic.
Ancient local names are, as a rule.
purely descriptive. A river is called
by some word which merely signifies
"the water" mountain may have
name which means 'the peak" "the
CASTLE" 'the point"
English place names generally state
some simple fact, and often denote
no more than property; the name of
town or hamlet being formed by
adding "ton" or ''ham" to the name
Of some early landholder.
Quite often a bit of even half-hu,
morous description will survive in
such a name, as when a stony, starved
and weedy district is called Starvacre

or unlimited pleasures he would be

Analyses of census figures by nativ-

still retain their migratory instinct.
Their movements are by no means all
in one direction, though that from east
to west ST.. has large volume. Not
only are northerners going to the south
to reap rewards from its undeveloped
resources, but southerners are going
to the north apparently to share in it's
industrial opportunities. And west

cross currents are many.-St Louis

and women accompanied Franklin
D'Olier, their national commander, on
his visit to the scene of the tragedy,
and stood with bowed heads in Noun
tain View cemetery as he pledged the
Legion to everlasting reverence to the
memory of its martyred members.
There was nothing Of rancor in
boilers reference to the men who
killed the peaceful paraders. But the
speech served warning, as hundreds of
other incidents Of Legion history Of
the last year have served warning
that the Legion is a wall Of steel
against all advocates Of violence.

WOULD ADD To
COST OF LIVING
Housewives win Do Well to Con-
slider Pronouncement OF
Senator Harding.
FIRM FOR HIGHER TARIFF
At the Bidding of the Big Trusts He
Stands for an Increase in the
Price of Nearly All
Commodities.
FIRM FOR HIGHER TARIFF

Out of the ''invoIvements" of his
plan for a return to ''normalcy." Sena-
tor Harding has had a 'revealment"
that a high protective tariff is an
economic necessity and is big issue
in the campaign.
The public in general and the Amer
lean housewife in particular, strug-
Cling against the high cost of living,
will be interested to learn that Sena-
tor Harding would like TO add little
more here and there to the cost of
commodities, by increasing the tariff
taxes on them, which are always
passed on to the consumer.
From the reposeful arms of his
rocking chair the senator had the fol-
lowing to say relating to schedule K.
which is article 10 of the Republican
covenant with tariff graft-in other
words, the wool schedule:
Farmers in this country sold their
wool clips for 80 cents a few days
ago. The market is altered now and
] am informed that in Boston they
are putting wool in storage and are
not quoting any prices. We are hav-
ing a practical demonstration of the
economic necessity of the protective
tariff"
But Senator Harding stopped short
of the real facts, as he always does.
which would explain this condition. 1t
is characteristic Of his "involvements'
and ''revealments" that they never ex-
plain anything.
Here are the important facts that
Senator Harding did not mention:
The wool industry in this country Is
controlled by the American Wooden
company, commonly known as the
wool trust.
The net profits of the American
Wooden company for 1917 and 1918
(our two war years. were almost $685.
100000, more than three times its net
profits for the seven preceding years.
It's net profits in 1919 were $780,
900.
The American Wooden company was
indicted recently for profiteering. 1t
set up the plea that 'woolen cloth" is
not wearing apparel" under the Lever
act, which is yet to be determined by
the Supreme court.
The price of mems clothes In the
last five years has increased 220.S per
cent.
When the prices of clothes began to
decline because people refused to pay
exorbitant prices. the American Wool
en- company retaliated upon the non
buying public and the administration
which had brought about its indict-
ment by closing down all of its plants
and throwing its employees out OF
work.
These are the facts that explain why
wool growers sold their clips recently
for 90 cents and why wool is being
stored In Boston with no quotations OF
prices.
The effect of high protective tariff
on wool would be to make every ar.
ticle of wooden manufacture cost more
than It does now. A tariff increase
would have the same effect upon other
necessities.
| Senator Harding. therefore, Is en-
titled to the vote of every man and
woman who would like to make the
high cost of living still higher.

LEGION-UNIONS IN HARMONY
Former Service Men Organizations and

The American Legion and the labor
unions have joined hands In Anaconda,
Mont, for the mutual benefit of both
organizations. AS a matter of fact,
several union locals in that section Of
the country are virtually Legion posts
in themselves. since majority OF the
members also are members of the Lee
gion.
In Anacoda the Legion and the uni
ons are collaborating in their benefit
entertainments and splitting the spells.
Money has been contributed from the
union war chest to the Legion general
fund, which now shows an impressive
balance of $4,000.
In New York, Texas and Pennsyl-
vania and other quarters the Legion
and the unions also are getting togeth-
er for their mutual financial profit.
