WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW


(From Fairmont West Virainian)
A famous Scotchman was Hugh
Miller, who got his start in life az
stone mason and quarryman. He
worked with his hands-also his
brains. And because he used his
brains, he saw the wonderful storf
that the rocks could tell. After
many years of study, he put his oh
servations down on paper and be
came one of the worlds greatest
biologists.
Hugh Miller's most famous book.
THE Old Red Sandstone, has lived
eighty years and has Hun through
many editions. lie starts the book
with some sound horse sense that
may be Of benefit to you:
MY advice to young workingmen,
desirious of lettering their circum-
stances and adding to the amount
of their enjoyment. is very simple.
Do not seek happiness in what is
misnamed pleasure. Seek it, rather
in what is termed study Keep your
conscience clear, your curiosity
fresh, and embrace every opportun-
ity of cultivating your minds.
Learn to make right use OF your
eyes. The commonest things are
worth looking at. Read good books,
not forgetting the best of them.
There is more true philosophy in
the Bible than in every work of ey-
cry skeptic that ever wrote. and we
would all be miserable creatures
without it. And do not let class get
ahead of you in telligence."
Hugh Miller's advice is as clean
cut as a diamond. 1t might have
been uttered yesterday it is SO time
ly. Yet this young Scotchman quill
ed it in Cromarty away back in
1910.
When one gets the habit, there is
the keenest pleasure in the pursuit
Of knowledge more pleasure than
in the power that might be eXercis-
cd in its possession. Miller, the ma
son. knew this fact and he tried to
communicate It to poeterity. "The
Old Red Sandstone wouldn't be a
best seller in our generation hut It
surely gets down to some bedrock
facts.

-liE COST OF LIVING

I iiE COST OF LIVING
Tire Daily Market Indicator, a fin
3ncial publication, speaking this
week Of the railway situation, has
the following to say respecting the
cost OF living:
In this connection it is inter
csting to compare the percent
age increase in the cost of living
at the present time over 1914
In 1918 the cost had increased
ever the year 1911, $50 per
cent. In 1920 the cost Of living
had gone up 1l3 per cent over
the 1911 level. Today it is con-
servatively estimated at close
to 81 per cent over the 1911
level, On the other hand the
percentage of Increase in the
average Railway wage over
f91 I, was SIT per cent in 1919,
and today stands at an increase
Of 1874 per cent over the 1914
lafel, Thus railway wages have
increased 1874 per cent since
1914 and the cost Of living 95
per cent. This leaves a leeway
in favor of the railway wage
Garner of close to 40 per cent.

The champion fell down and got up
so many times in the first round that
the referee became dizzy from count
ing, and failed to hear the bell. This
was on the fifth liason between Will
lard and the floor.
The gong sounded feebly on the
seventh count, but Referee Pecord
continued chopping the air over Will
lard. When he had finished he in
formed Dempsey that there had been
a knockout and the champion left the
ring, only to have his manager come
running after him with the informa
ton that there had been mistake.
That first round was awful. But it
prepared everybody for the worst and
no one was surprised when Willard
lost in the third round.
Dempsey opened the fight by accept
ing some taps on the face. Then he
hauled off and busted Willard in the
stomach so hard that dazed express
sion overspread the champions coun-
tenance. Dempsey then landed sew
eral blows to the jaw and Willard
dropped to the floor for six counts,
only to fall again with blow that
