Visiting Day.

Republican-Journal: The visiting
day conducted by the library board
at the public library, Tuesday, was a
great success, several hundred peo-
pie availing themselves of the Oppor-
tunity to visit this institution and as
certain what literary wealth is on
the shelves for them. Miss Julia
Wright Merrill of the Wisconsin
Free Library Commission, was pres
ent and in the evening gave a short
talk on the value of Libraries. She
is thoroughly posted on her work
and assisted greatly in the work OF
the day. Refreshments were served.

exceeded the sum of about 81. 46S,VCU,-
600 annually, in 1920, when govern
mental authority made the last wage
increase. the labor cost of the railroads
was about S3,69S, 100000 annually, or
ii continued throughout the year instead
of for the eight months during which
the wage increases were in effect, the
labor cost on an annual basis which
has been largely in excess of $1,000
100000; an increase, since the govern
ment took charge of railroad wages
In the Adamson act of approximately
$2,450,000000 annually.
In the light of these figures, it is
manifest that the recent reduction of
wages authorized by the labor board,
estimated at from 10 to II per cent
in no sense meets or solves the prob
lem of labor costs and in no way
makes it possible for the railroads to
afford a reduction in their revenues.
Thousands of Rates Already Reduced.
Indeed, during the past year there
have been between four and five
LHOuSduu INDIVIDUAL TcuuCtIOuS III
freight rates. On some railroads the
reductions in rates have amounted to
more than the reductions in wages so
far made and on many other railroads
the reductions in wages allowed no
net return on operations but merely
provided against the further accumu-
latiOn of a deficit. The point is often
made that agriculture and other in
dustries are suffering the same i'm
mediate difficulties as the railroads,
why, therefore do not the railroads
take their medicine like anybody else.
The answer lies in several facts.
/. The railroads were not permit
ted, as were other industries, to make
charges during the years of prosperi-
ty, making possible the accumulation
Of a surplus to tide them over the
present extreme adversely, according
to the reports of the interstate COM
merce commission the rate Of return
in property investment of the rail
roads of the United States for the
past several years has been as fol
lows:

allotment of ships and the 'apportion-

.SHORTNESS OF CAPES
MARKS SEASONS
SMARTEST GARMENTS

One OF the most notable changes
IN the fashions of this year is the
final advent of the short jacket and
ms companion the short cape.
IL was difficult 70 persuade women
to give up the long top coat which
preceded the long cape. They felt that
both these garments were made suita-
bic by their length for protective pur-
poses Their argument was reason
able.
Young women began the fashion of
the short separate coat at time when
the closely drawn cape was at the
height OF power. The majority
though the latter garment was safely
anchored in the wardrobes of women
for another six months at least, and
they were frankly dismayed by its
sudden withdrawal and Replacement
by short capes attached to the shout
ders. and by short jackets that APP
peared to have nothing TO do with the
rest OF the costume. a1t
The short cape began its career ibe-
fore the short jacket appeared 1t is
really product or a leftover of last
summer, when It appeared as part OF
a frock. In March il came over to
this country in mass. but it was not
offered as a separate utility garment
for many gowns. as each little cape
had a frock all its own. Today the
short cape is the wrap of the hour.
II is i'm many colOrs and diverse fab
rics. and il is worn in the street as
well as in the ballroom The jacket
is it's sober rival. 1t turns one
piece frock or a sport costume into a
conventional suit .sq
The short cape as worn today is
simplicity itself II is usually of the
same material as the frock: it reaches
to the fingertips and is gathered at
the neck into a collar or fiat pleated
roses of the material with fiaring
ruche or collar of the same material
or tulle above it, II may have a ruff
fie around the bottom.
No woman can fail to give consid-
Grafton to this development of high
neck line. We will not accept ii in
blouses and frocks for the summer be-
cause OF the heat. but on capes and in
accessories for the neck there is a
growing movement away from fiat
pieces OF fur toward these ornamental
rufus. Here and there is strong Eliz-
tai fabrics placed close to the ears.

CARE AND TREATMENT
OF old MAHOGANY

The delicate. satiny surface on a
fine old piece of mahogany is obtained
only by constant rubbing. There is

DR.. BURGAN'S sermon
AT CALVARY Church

Rev DR.. Burgan preached sunday
morning on the text: she hath
wrought a good work on me. Mark
i4th chapter. 9th verse.
The Doctor said that the most nat
ural way TO celebrate a Joy or bless
ing was by giving feast. This feast
to the Savior was given by Mary and
Martha because their brother Lazarus
had been raised from the dead Their
friends had been asked to join with
them in their entertainment. In the
midst OF the feast an unexpected
event had occurred. Mary knew that
the Saviour was the cause OF this joy
and so she thinks in her heart what
she can do especially for Him. Then
she remembers the precious box OF
spikenard 1t is the most valuable
thing she has. She gets II. breaks it.
and anoints the Saviour's feet with
it; washes them with her tears and
wipes them with the very hair of her
head.
Judas objected The Savious knew
that she had wrought a good work
for Him, because He saw that, be-
fore the end of the coming week, he
had TO pass through his great trial
and it was a question with him
whether or not. his sacrifice would
accomplish what he desred-the sal
walton of the world Joy is necessary
preparation with us to sustain us in
meeting some profound sorrow
The Saviour expects of us belief in
his power. Without that. He is help
less to do US good. He requires of US
gratitude for what he has done for
us. We must have the spirit of sac
rifice. such as Mary showed. in giving
the best that she had Mary showed
that she intended TO render service 10
Jesus, such as he wishes us to give.
