Red Wing Eagle:-To first pass a
bill that practically shuts out impor-
tations from foreign countries, and
thereby preventing foreign countries
from buying from this country, and
then asking American taxpayers to
add 100000 year to their living
expenses to help the commerce Of the
United States with foreign countries -
that looks like some honest to goodness
statesmanshipg Doesn't it? That is
our President Harding's program just
now. Poor old Harding. We are sorry
for the fix he has been placed in.
: Long Prairie Leader:-Judge Page
Morris of the Federal court has the
right system for cleaning up the boot
leggers and moonshiners. His plan of
jail sentences has attracted national
attention. It has also brought national
CONSERVATION to the law violators. On
another page today we have news
item taken from Minneapolis paper
telling how Judge Morris is doing his
part to see that the law is respected.
IF all judges would do the same, the
moonshine business would be cleaned
up in less than. three months. Any
moonshiner welcomes a fne-it's
cheaper than license, but he hesitates
when he knows that conviction means
jail. -

Another is Steve Foster, high school
athlete who WAS graduated from school
into the mines. Murray had apparently
been thinking for some time that the
pnion offered advantages that the UNI
organized men did not have. He was
seething because OF the big wage cut
that went into effect on April !, and
the argument that miners as well as
everybody else must take cut before
America could recover its prosperity
did not bother him, II indeed II even
reached him.
All at once. in the first week OF
April, the motormen and their help
ers, the spragers, of two Berwin-White
mines decided of their own accord thar
they would quit, with Murray as their
leader. Murray called a general meet
ing OF the Berwind- White miners on a
farm two miles from Windber. He says
he tried to rent a hall in town, but
found that al of them, including the
opera house were rented to the com
pany. That is. according to Murray.
the company paid $40 month to the
proprietor of each hall, which gave
the company the right TO say who
should use it. The Windber men in
vited the union to send its missiona-
ries to address the meeting on the farm.
They did so, and without molestrt'cn.
As a result strike OF all the Win.bef
miners was called. According to the
union leaders. the response was virtu-
ally unanimous and all the mines of
the district, including the Lochrie
mines, stopped producing. Production
before the strike was $50 steel railroad
cars a day. Union heads say that only
forty cars have gone out nee the
strike began.

Standing OF The Clubs
Shackleton's Last Letter,

NO death of recent years has touched
the public with a greater sadness than
that of Sir Ernest Shackleton. In this
poignant tragedy, remarks the London
Times, there is a deep sense of per-
sonal loss. Shackleton touched the
national imagination; his vivid per-
sonality won all hearts. AS Mr.. John
CUTLER Rowett, who was mainly re-
spOnsible for financing the Quest ex-
petition, says, "Shackleton was such
generous soul-idealistic impulsiye.
ready TO help anybody in trouble. His
last letter to me, dated from Rio de
Janeiro, where the Quest was refitting,
on December Is last, gives a glimpse
Of the soul of this great Briton. Here
is his letter:

My Dear John: One hundred and ten
degrees in the shaded All the work is

FOR HEALTH AND HAPPINESS
Quaint Superstitions That Have Many
Adherents In Various Parts Of
Rural England.

In Berkshire, London Tit-Bits says,
II Is stated that fits can be cured by
wearing ring made from the metal
of five silver slxpences procured from
five different bachelors, who must not
know the purpose for which the coins
will be used.
Another very quaint recipe Is the
use of a string Of blue beads or piece
OF uncooked bacon round the neck
as preventive of colds and sore
threats.
To "cause love-" all you have to do
lis TO gather ten leaves of the hem
lock, dry and powder them. Then mix
II in the food or drink of the person
you desire to love you.
For whooping cough take a mug Of
water from running stream, against
the current: give the child drink,
then throw the rest away with the cur
rent; repeat this three times before
sunrise.
To remove warts tie up some peb-
bleS In n bag with n piece of silver
money and throw II on the road; who
ever finds the bag and keeps the mon
ey to him the warts will go.
The tail OF n black cat, II rubbed
over the eye. will effect a speedy cure
of a stye.
For sore throat tie n thread of
scarlet worsted round the throat and
also round each wrist-this is believed
In Ireland TO be very effective. While
for lumbago we only need to make a
paste of shamrocks (pounded) mixed
with butter and salt. This Is rubbed
all over the afflicted back and must
not be rubbed Off till the cure is per-
fected.
Great virtue is attributed to the
briar, especially In cases of sprain
or dislocation-the red-fiowered spe-
cies being the best to use. A strong
twig is taken, about yard long, and
split evenly from end TO end. The
pieces are then held by two men with
clean hands while a third waves his
hands over the split twigs. If oil is
done correctly. the twigs seem en-
dowed with life. rise up and approach
each other till they touch. A piece
should be cut off at the point of con-
tact and bound firmly to the sprain.
