the power of the old fetish of Cheap

the power of the old fetish of Cheap
ness is worshiped and is being in
voked to break down the prices of the
farmers products and thus the wages
of the laboring man. The souls of all
men ought to be open to the light of
Divine truth and to the teachings of
history that cheap coat makes a
cheap man, that low wages mean pow
erty and anarchism, that low prices
of farm products mean an ultimate
famine in them, and that cheapness
is one of the Devils most efficient
tools for working damnation to soul
and body. But many, having eyes,
prefer not to see this truth.-Manu-
facturers Record.

What "Cheapness" Means.

ga cheap coat makes a cheap
man, said President Harrison many
years ago, when he stated great
truth which the world needs to learn.
Cheap labor cheapens the moral,
spiritual and physical powers of the
underpaid man or woman, and in the
end is the costliest labor. A cheap
coat breeds ill-will and lessons a
mans self-respect; a good garment
helps the inward as we'll as the out
ward man.
Cheapness finds its most fertile
field in India, where wages run from
three to fifteen cents day and
where indescribable poverty and suf-
fering are everywhere in evidence;
in China, where poverty is SO great
that millions starve; in Africa and in
Japan. But America has blessed the
world by high wages, for by intro
ducing high-wage schedules here it
has gradually lifted up wages through
out the world. There are, however,
some narrow, shriveled, money-mad
souls or others, falsely trained in
economics, who believe in low wages,
in poverty for the farmer and the la
borer, and in the cheap coat and the
cheap man. They cannot comprehend
that "cheapness" is cheapness of
soul in themselves, and they measure
humanity only by what they can
make their dollar buy of other peo-
ple's labor and products.
High wages, full salaries, high
prices for farm products are thou
sand times better than low wages,
low salaries and low prices for farm
products.
Some bankers and some business
men view things from different
standpoint. They measure everything
by the dollar mark, and that is why
they praise the breakdown of prices.
The only true and honest way to
measure by manhood and the infiu-
ence of high prices on the uplifting
of manhood and womanhood, the bet
terment of homes, improved school
facilities and enlarged comforts for
women and children. We have the
highest testimony that Heaven can
give that the laborer is worthy of his
hire, but in these days, as in the past,

Embroidery Ancient Art

The art of embroidery has been
practiced from time immemorial-it is
said to be as old as the art of dress
ing. The mummy clothes of ancient
Egypt show the earliest eXtant en-
broidery and the "pome-granates of
blue and purple and scarlet" of the
book of Exodus were Of embroidery.
The art reached it's height in the
early middle ages. In Greece and
Rome laws were made to moderate its
use, but without success. The most
distinguished artists did not count it
condescension to make the designs
from which the highest ladies in the
land executed their embroideries. No
workers were more skilled in the art
than the English.

This Monster Was Rattler.

The curators of the Launceston and
Tascanian museums have presented to
the Royal Society of Tasmania the pre-
liminary account of nearly complete
skeleton Of gigantic extinct monster,
recently discovered in the pleistocene
beds of Tasmania.
The animal was as large as the
largest existing rhinoceros. The new
discovery shows clearly that it was
rhinoceros-like animal, with a skull
built for aggressive warfare, and at
least one powerful horn on the snout.
Evidence of the gigantic battles in
which this animal engaged is to be
found in the complete smashing and
partial mending of the collar-bone,
and in the crushing and subsequent
repair of the bones of the nose and
snout.

POINTS OUT HUSBANDS DUTY
Writer Insists No Man May Stand In
the Light of His Wife's Domes-
tic Ambitions

aPuzzled husband" writes US that
he is sorely tiled by his wife's ambi-
tion to bake the family bread, and
other things. His domestic affection
and spirit of chiyalry will not permit
him to tell his wife the truth-that
the bread is almost as heavy as a paw
ing stone and quite as indigestible. So
he goes to work every morning with
a heavy heart and an even heavier
stomach, and is bedeviled with gripes
and abdominal pains all day, Greene
NJ. Farley writes in the Seattle Post
Intelligencer.
Not only that, but his wife is con-
slant reader of domestic science de-
partments and she uses him as an ex-
pertinent station. This last week. he
says, he had biscuits that would do for
sinkers on a fish line and an angel
cake that could not be differentiated
from old putty. The heartrending fea-
ture is that she asks him with
bright smile how he likes 1t all, and he
cannot find it in his breast to tell the
truth about it; so he lies frankly and
wholeheartedly.
All this is getting on his nerves and
on his stomach and on his conscience.
In the course of little time ne
feels his life insurance is, going to be
due.
Should he tell her the truth, or
should he suffer In silence and let her
go ahead and collect the life insur-
ance?
If life is worth anything to him he
might conclude to tell her the truth
and let her go ahead and procure her
divorce. She might find second hus-
band with a cast-iron digestive appa-'
ratus and the present husband ought
not to stand in the way of his wife's
career as domestic scientist. ..

Huge Withdrawals of Intoxi-
cants ON Forged Orders Re-"
vealed.

NSokSos
The enormous scale on which the
illicit traffic in the intoxicants has
been conducted was revealed through
the discovery by agents of the Special
Intelligence Unit of the Internal
Revenue Bureau of more than LOCO
forged permits upon which millions
of gallons of whiskey had been ille-
gally withdrawn from distilleries and
bonded warehouses for sale in New
York City. The amounts of liquor
called for by these forged permits
ranged from one barrel to ten thou
sand cases and their total retail val
ne was estimated at upwards of $10O-
100000.
The disclosures were made as the
result of the work of corps of In
vestigators who were sent from Wash
ington to inquire into prohibition
enforcement situation in New York,
and the forgeries covered a period
of four or FIVE months. In many cas-
es the names of reputable firms were
used and the federal agents, after
thorough. inquiry were convinced the
names of the firms were used without
their knowledge or consent.
Several arrests have been made,
and among the accused are employees
of the prohibition enforcement Offices
who were in position to facilitate the
traffic in forged permits. The temp
tation to which the enforcement Of
ficers were subject was indicated by
the disclosure that one agent was Of
fered $4,000 if he would obtain a
basic withdrawal permit, and later
was promised an additional 100000
if he would enter a conspiracy for
the issuance of other withdrawal
permits. With the profits of the rum
runners soaring up in the aggregate
to tens of millions of dollars they
were able to offer large bribes, and
some of the federal employees sue
cumbed.
Charles D. O'Conner, who recent
ly took office as Federal Prohibition
Director for New York state, tempo
rarily discontinued the issuance of
withdrawal permits and announced
his intention to reduce the number of
basic permit holders by SO per cent
in an effort to stop the frauds. Many
aliens have held such permits, al
though state law forbids their par
ticipation in liquor traffic, and. with
a closer investigation of permits
they will be excluded.
The persistency with which the Ii
quor interests continue their opera
tions was indicated by the issuance
by Federal Judge Lands in Chicago
of temporary injunctions restraining
four breweries from violating the
prohibitory laws after the submis-
sion of evidence to prove they had
been brewing real beer. Illinois
State officials planned to ask for in
functions against twenty other brew
eries.-Christian Herald.

Benoit Farm Hand
Held on Serious Charge
CHARGED WITH ABDUC-
TION OF MINOR GIRL
Now in the County Jail Here
Awaiting Trial. May Be
Turned Over to Federal Au-
thOrities.

Andrew KovOchevich of Benoit,
who was arrested last week at
Benoit, charged with the abduction OF
a fifteen year old girl from that vi
cinity, is now lodged in the county
jail of Bayfield, county, having been
bound over after hearing before
Judge Calder on December 18th.
There are two charged perferred
against the man, one being carnal
knowledge of female under 10
years of age, and the other abduc-
tion Of a female under 18 years
of age, both of which carry penalties
of from one to thirty years in the
state prison.
1t is alleged that Kovochevick, who
was employed as farm hand On
farm in the Benoit district, abducted
this fifteen year old girl, taking her
to Ironwood, Mich, where she was
found by the father of the child
week later. The story at the hear
ing by the girl was of a most re-
voting nature, enough to stir the
blood Of almost any man, and it is
likely to go mighty hard with the
man, for it is the intention of the
local authorities to turn him over to
the federal authorities for prosecu-
ton under the Mann white slave act.
The Bayfield, county authorities
have learned that Kovochevick serv-
ed term in the state prison at Still
water. Mimi. from 1915 to 1918 for
highway robbery and that his Num-
ber was 5O91. He is man 28 years
of age, five feet and nine inches tail,
and weighing about 215 pounds.

liked by Washburn fans, putting up
an excellent game. The visiting
guards, however, would like to know
who plays forward on the Scout
team. as they failed to find them any
where during the game.
For the Scouts, there was plenty
of good work both on offense and
defense. Both forwards proved
very elusive and hard to find, and
worked together in their usual pleas

outside, after apparently being tic

Shoresman proved to be stumbl-
ine block for the Ondossagon ofense,
and did fine work in holding down
Barony's total to four baskets. The
big Barksdale forward repeatedly
tried to rush, but Bud had his back
up, and rarely failed to stop Bar
ony in his tracks. Soshea played
his first game in the First Team line
up, and showed up well under fire.
Taken as whole, the game IS an
indication that the Scouts are still
