Henry Ford is dividing seven million
dollars among his employees in ad-
dition to paying the highest wages
paid by any manufacturer in the
United States. Ford's plan of hand
ling labor, if generally adopted, would
solve the labor problem which is vex-
ing the American nation.

The state may be facing another

unawares, as it was when sumptuary
proposals were new and had a certain
fascination. The Lords Day alliance

states with measures calling for the
strict observance of the Sabbath"

need be no difficulty in realizing

their way about it, as they can easily

what their purposes mean
''The moral tone of the nation is
backward steadily and the
people must return to spiritual
things" says the announcement.
Even so. In the last ten years the
preachers, the reformers and the wo-
men have had full swing in regulat-
ing the people, in eliminating tenn
ptation and in abolishing vice. Still,
we are told, not by the mere men but
by the apostles themselves, that the
moral tone of the nation is slipping
backward steadily. And that is not
all, or the worst, of it. The church
is slipping back, too, and is losing

fessional kind, are in disrepute. Sta
tutes and prohibitions and abolish
ments have not changed the hearts of
men. Enforced Sabbath observances,
which mean the further taking away

enjoyment which cannot be had by
many on work days, will not tend to
popula1ize the day or the authors of
the restrictions. If there is any doubt
as to that, the results of recent poll

taken as a criterion.

Lady of Lourdes hospital and SAM
tarium, conducted by the Benedictine
Sisters, has increased its patronage
to such proportions that a neY four

The hospital is located in one Of tie

cally conform with the original struc-
ture which bears a resemblance to
the original shrine at Lourdes, France.
The basement will contain treatment
rooms and rest rooms for patients.

the other floors will have spacious
rooms for patients, each room will
nave it's own %lavatory and there will

MANY BAD CHECKS
REACH THE BANKS
Mitchell Financial Institutions
are Flooded With Them
Keep Six Collectors
Busy.

Mitchell. 8. D., Oct 2S.-Whether
people are naturally dishonest or are
just careless is a question which has
been much discussed by Mitchell
banks recently because Of the alarm
ing increase in the number Of checks
which are written by persons having
no money on deposit or with insuffi-
cient funds to cover the checks.
In a single week over a thousand
such checks are turned down by
Mitchell banks. according to estimates
made by the man who takes care of
the work. The larger banks Of the
average of 80 checks a day, the tellers
report. 80 that the average of the
six banks in Mitchell easily reaches
200 bad checks a day, or 1900 a week.
From noon until 1:45 p. M, one
day last week, a single bank in the
city received Is checks which could
not be cashed. or an average Of lie
every seven minutes.
An evidence OF the continuous
round Of bad checks is the fact that
every bank in the city sends out a
collector each morning to have bad
checks Strengthened out.
Looking at the situation charitably
bankers Of the city express the opin-
ion that most of the people do not in
tend to be dishonest when they cash
checks without funds, but the major
ity OF them are careless as to their
accounts or run On such a small mar
gin that a slight mistake will result
In an overdraft.

ANOTHER Is HELD in
8. DAKOTA POISONING CASE

Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. 28.-As the
result Of his preliminary hearing held
here, Carl Digre, a wealthy farmer
Of Sherman. was held for trial to the
circuit court on the charge Of being
implicated in the murder Of Martin
Matheson, in the now celebrated pois-
oned peaches case.
Judge Berg fixed his bond at $685.
900, which will be furnished without
difficulty. Constantly changing as
poets affect the cases of Mrs. Anna
Matheson, the widow, who confessed
band, and John and Carl Digre,
cousins of the accused woman
One Of the most important wit
nesses for the state at the preliminary
hearing was Frank Matheson, the IS
year-old son of Mrs. Matheson, who
testified that he had taken the can
of peaches from which his father had
eaten to a doctor from the Univer-
sity of Minnesota, for analysis; that
Carl Digre approached him after his
mothers arrest and suggested that
nothing be said to the authorities re-
garding his yer having been left
alone in the with Mrs Mathe-
son during her recent sickness; that
he had come in from the bayfield, one
evening and found Carl Digre and
his mother sitting out in the car in
the garage, and that Digre had his
arms around Mrs. Matheson, but that
he let go of her when he (Frank) en-
tered.
The son further testified that during
a visit to his mother in the county
Jail she told him she was in a delicate
condition, and that Carl Digre was
the father of the expected child; that
his mother told him Carl was going
to give her everything II she would
come and stay with him.
