THE UNAFRA1D PUBLIC

HERE is a curious indifference on the part OF
i the public to danger. Warnings have to be
drastic and generally verbal to get the attention
OF the public, and sometimes printed warnings, and
shouted warnings, fail to have any effect and
crowd has to be manhandled in order to save the
lives Of the individuals in It. crowd is indiffer-
ent to any danger 1t cannot Immediately see con-
fronting 1t, and the great mass of the public is
dead willing to take a chance in order to follow
It's will.
Labor Day saw thousands Of persons travelling.
Trains were packed with the holiday crowd from
Saturday afternoon until Monday night This was
done in spite Of the warnings posted by the strIk-
ing railroad shopmen who advised the public 10

mob" limiting that those who Travelled did so at
risk and were in danger. Observing the crowds
who packed the trains the strikers wasted a lot
of paper and ink They went merrily on their ways
with picnic baskets and lunch boxes, determined
to celebrate the occasion If they died for it, thing
they had been warned might occur.
The same thing occurred at the sailing of the
Inflated Lusitanla. Passengers saw their baggage
on board, kissed their folks goodbye, and waved
a calm farewell, in the face of anonymous warn
ings printed in New York papers that all passen.

Crowds are subject to panlcs. To unreasonlng

The Board of Trade of Hilsboro is taking steps
TO secure geologists report the marble to fu.-

WHERE LABOR BENEFITS

HE real reason for the increase Of 20 per cent
i in the wages paid unskllled laor in the steel
industry is that not enough labor at the old wage
can be secured to do the work. 1t is merely an
other illustration of the law Of supply and de-
mand. And one OF the prime reasons for the short.
age is the immigration law, passed and approved
by President Harding soon after he entered. the
White House.
The supply of unskilled labor from Europe has
been greatly cut down as a result of the law, and
the wage-earners of this country are benefitting
thereby. Protection of American, labor from
European competition was one of the chief argu-
ments advanced in favor of the immigration law,
and now we can see how 1t has worked out.
Precisely the same principle is contained in the
protective tariff bill, passed by the Republicans
in the Senate and House and now in conference
curtail the influx of foreign workingmen. and the
wages Of our own laborers remain high curtaIl the
importation of the products of that cheap foreign
labor and the prices of our domestic PRODUCTS
maintain their level, to be passed on in good
wages to the artisans in our Acknowledgement

INDIANS GATHER
Wild RICE CROP
Harvest Must Be Made il
Haste or Birds will Get the
Best of Grain.

DULUTH, Mimi, Sept. 10
Mah.noh- min, the wild rice OF the
North. the Indians grain for win.
ter consumption. Is ripe. Word
has passed from buck to squaw or
reverse that the crop this year
is not large one. Garncrlns
must proceed rapidly for a hungry
horde of wild ducks shortly will
descend on the vast rics ii9lds
and bate. d,~s tie rice 70 she
last stem. waich they slip cleaa Of
kernels.
BY day and under the full moon
the squaws are searching toe lag
goons of the muskeag country for
rice beds. Certain localities are
known to have rice beds and other
localities breed the rice over
year. Where no rice was found
last year, 1t will be found this
year.
The crop is gathered to-day as
it was in the days OF Hiawatha
and OF MlnEShaha. Canoes are
piloted through miles OF rice beds.
The rice is either shipped off on
the stem, or pulled from the
water. Taken into the canoe, 1t Is
dislodged from the stem by beat
ing with a paddle. Thus a canoe
will be loaded I'M a day. Tie hull.
ing is done by beating the rice in
its shell, and while 1t is yet hot.
1t is threaded by moccosIned feet.
Wild rice is tall Aquatic per.
ennlal grass. Gzania aquittca) Of
North America and Asia. 1t has
apple panlcles. bearing pistulete
flowers above and staminates be-
low. Its grain, or seed, has been
used by the Indians for food since
time out of memory.
Wild rice is FOR sale at priu-
cipal grocery stores in the North.
The rice is bought at trading posts
direct from the Indians, or from
traders who get /: from Indians.
The work of gathering the rics Is
so tedious that few white people
attempt It.
