tials. Tho price is quite reasonable
enough to make it well worth investiga

One rainy day was poking through
an old trunk of mothers and came
across any number of queer. ld-fash-

while way down in the corner of the
trunk was beaded bag which she Ind
made many years ago. The tiny color

dustry how they can get around the
law against price agreements. The
public have been shown pretty often
that there isn't any law that a smart
lawyer can't cheat if his clients sup
ply him with enough money. This
live-and- -let-live policy that is so much
talked about when these associations
hold their conventions or their ban
quets sounds very beautiful-and it is
very beautiful for those in the game.
But the public is never let in on this
live-and-let-live business. 1t is con-
fined only to the gentlemen who do
the selling, not to those of US who
have to buy.
"There is not much credit in being
honest when you can't be otherwise.
The test of mans honesty comes
when he has a chance to be dishonest.
That chance came, as never before,
during the war. And how honest were
the men who run our business when
the opportunity to be dishonest ap-
peared? Was there any unfair boost
ing of prices? Were we charged only
fair prices for sugar and shoes and
suits and shirts and collars and fur
niture and rugs and everything else
we had to buy? If there is a single
person who believes that there wasn't
the most profiteering during the
war, he is inside an insane asylum

their true colors when the temptation

FORTY-FOUR HOUR
WEEK
Given to Everyone in New
South Wales

Sydney, n. S. VA special COM
mission appointed by the New South
Wales labor government to inquire
into the claims of the various trades
unions for a 44-hour week has report
ed to the government that the 44-hour
week be applied Immediately to 46
different trades, as follows:
Bedmakers, blacksmiths, blindmak
ers, bookbinders, boilermakers, brick
layers, builders laborers, cabinet
makers, carpenters, chairmakers,
cardboard boxmakers, compositors,
condiment makers, electrotypers, en-
gineers, electrical filters, furriers,
Aourmillers, granite polishers, iron
and steelmakers, joiners, leather
workers, letterpress machinists, limo
typers, mattressmakers, metal ceiling
fixers, molders, machinists, ornamental
glassworkers, polishers, process en-
gravers, pattern makers, pianomak-
ers, picture trainers, plumbers, paper
rulers, painters and decorators,
starchmakers, stone masons, shingl-
ers and tilers, stereotypers, slate
workers, sawmillers, typefounders
tuckpointers, turner's and wire-netting
workers.
The commission has recommended
| that the Al hours be worked in y
days. 1t further recommends that
where agreements be made between
the parties the 44 hours may be work
ed in five days of 8 hours as minutes
each. No evidence was submitted by
the employers that the adoption of q
44-hour week would seriously affect
i the trades mentioned, or have any
effect on production, or greatly in
crease the cost of commodities to the
public. The commission further lays
it down that there should be no re-
duction in wages as result of the
shorter working week. Other trades
are now being inquired into regarding
the introduction of a 44-hour week,
which viii probably become general
in a short time.

CHAS. PORTER GETS
BANK JOB AT FESTUS

Chas. Porter of this city, who for
the past several years has been as,
sistant cashier of the Bank of Des-
loge, was elected cashier of the Citi-
zens Bank of Festus at Festus, Mo-,
last Monday. Mr.. Porter left Tuesday
afternoon to remain in Festus for a
few days checking up the banks bus
mess, preparatory to entering upon
his duties.
Mr.. Porter is a hustler and will
make the bank a good man. He is a
fine mixer and a young man of excep-
tional ability. We predict rapid and
steady growth for the bank under his
management. While we regret to see
Charles leave Desloge we are glad
that he has been able to better his po-
sition in life and we wish for him a
successful business career and rapid
promotion.-Desloge Sun.

the great stone benches beside that

There are seven great circles, each
300 feet in diameter. In each circle is
a piece Of statuary, including one
monument to Columbus. Between the
sidewalks and the open street are two
rows of trees, with lawns and flowers
between the rows. The facilities for
looking on from this shade are the

ward, consisting of long seats with in

from four until six o'clock such a
