DEATH CLAIMS KATE
DOUGLAS WIGGIN
ORGANIZED FIRST KINDERGAR-
TEN WEST OF R0CKIES-WAS
NOTED AMERICAN AUTHOR

Harrow, England.-(A. P)-Katt
Douglas Wiggin, American author
died last night. She is said to have
failed to fully rerover from an op
Grafton.
Kate Douglas Wiggin, often called
the "prima nonna of literature" was
one of the most accomplished women
engaged in literary and philanthroplt
work in the United States.
1t was back in 1876 that Mrs. Wig
gin, then Kate Douglas Smith, left
her home in Maine and journeyec
to California for the purpose OF
studying kindergarten methods. She
taught for year in Santa Barbara
College, and was then called upon tC
garten in San Francisco, the first
free school of the kind west OF the
Rocky Mountains.
Little was known of kindergarten
work at the time, but the ideas OF
Mrs. Wiggin soon began to attract
wide attention, and it was not long
before she was joined by Mrs. Sarah
B. Cooper, the noted educator, who
assisted Mrs. Wiggin in forming the
California Kindergarten Training
School, which established more than
go schools for poor children in the
west.
After her marriage in 1880 to
Samuel Bradley Wiggin, lawyer of
San Francisco, Mrs. Wiggin gave up
teaching and turned her attention to
literaturey using the rich material
she had gathered in her kindergarten
work to weave into stories of greater
influence for a wider public.
Her first story, called Half a
Dozen Housekeepers," had appeared
in 1878, before she thought of giving
up teaching. 1t was several years
later that "The Story of Patsy" and
"The Birds Christmas Carol were
published and met with unexpected
success.
moved to New York, where she pub
lished "a Summer in a Canyon"
'Timothy's Quest" and "a Cathedral
Courtship," which were translated in
to several foreign languages, and
became popular in
Europe.
In addition to her literary ability,
both prose and verse, Mrs. Wiggin
was an accomplished musician, and
composed several melodies for her
favorite poems.
Although born in Philadelphia in
1857, the childhood of Mrs. Wiggin
was spent in Hollis, Maine, where
1er father, lawyer, removed short
" after her birth. She was educated
n Abbott Academy, Andover, Mass.
Mrs. Wiggin's second husband was
George Christopher Riggs, whom she
married in 1895, six years after the
leath of Samuel Wiggin. She con-
inued to reside in New YORK, spend
ng her summers in Hollis.
In June, 1928, Mrs. Wiggin was

ECONOMIC WAR TO
SOLVE PROBLEM
BROOKHART SAYS ONLY MEANS
TO CURB PREDATORY CAPITAL
HOW THE DOLLAR GOES

Des Moines, Iowa-(A. P.)-The
economic war" will not end until
business abandons the present pre-
datory methods and unites with pro-
ducers and consumers of the country
in sharing with them their just re-
ward, United States Senator Smith
w. Brookhart declared in an address
here before the Lions club.
Economic cooperation of all
classes, said the senator, is the solu-
tion of the problem created by in
equality of reward.
Senator Brookhart declared that
"capital is taking a vast toll of lab
or" and that this, with the decreased
earnings of the farmers, rendered
laboring men and farmers natural
allies
Capital Issues Propaganda
Propaganda seeking to separate
them, he declared, was being given
wide distribution.
cit is my contention" said Senator
Brookhart, that the interests of pro-
ducer and consumer are the same and
that all men are, or ought to be, both
producers and consumers. The agen-
cies of distribution, including trans
portation, credit and marketing, are
the servient and not the dominant
power.
"Of first Importance is production;
the only ultimate purpose of produc-
tion is consumption. Certain basic
facts call the farmer and laborer to-
gether upon this economic theory and
the quicker business recognizes the
Ix,o ~f+ H., nj II
its honest endeavor the quicker we
will reach prosperity and progress.
Out of the dollar labor pays for the
products of the farm, the farmer gets
81 cents, as officially reported by the
joint committee of congress. Out of
the dollar the farmer pays for the
products of labor, the laboring man
gets even less. This last fact is dis
puted but l think it is substantially
correct
Distribution Unbearable
"The cost of distribution in the
United States is unbearable. It's
waste and inefficiency is destroying
business itself. During the last ses-
sion of congress distinguished Unit
ed States senator said that 95 per
cent of all business as now organized
ultimately fails. This situation is un-
stable and unsound.
Since the farmer is the principal
consumer of the products of labor,
and in labor I include the brain
workers, and since labor is the prin-
cipal consumer of the products of
the farm, these facts are calling them
together for the solution Of this vital
problem of our economic system.
When we figure that during the
past thirteen years the total increase
in agricultural wealth is only about
3 per cent year, it is not hard for
the farmer to decide that other CAPT.
tai is taking vastly more than its
share.
"And since wages have been re-
duced until they probably do not
average 5000 year, the farmer
knows that his natural ally is labor
and not capital.
"When the manufacturers and the
business men of the United States
reach the same conclusion that they
can at once join not only with the
farmer but with labor also the eco
nomic war is over. 1t will not be
over until business abandons the !
present predatory methods and unites
with the producers and consumers of
the country in sharing with them !

DEMAND FOR HIGHER WAGES
MAY CLOSE ROCHESTER MINE

Demands of miners employed at
the Rochester Silver Corporation
property at Rochester, for wage
increase of fifty cents day, made
last night by the miners, will result
in closing the property If they are
insisted upon, Frank M. Manson,
general manager, said today.
According to word received from
Rochester the miners last night
voted to demand an increase OF
fifty cents a day, Charles S. Lus-
combe presiding as chairman of the
meeting.
Mr.. Manson said today that the
company was not affected by the
demands of the men, but that the
lessees might be affected. The lessees
are E. C. Bennett, Ed. Springer,
and Mr.. Emminger. The lessees
are about breaking even, Mr.. Man
son said, and he added that if it
was necessary to save the lessees
from running behind he would ask
the directors to cancel the lease
and close down the mine completely.
The men are understood to be re-
ceiving SIS and$5.25 a day at the
present time.

STARR VALLEY GIRL
INJURED IN HAY FIELD

Miss Ella May Goodale, sixteen
year-old daughter of William Good
ale, ST., prominent Starr Valley
rancher, was the victim of rather
serious accident last Saturday after
noon at the Goodale ranch. Miss
Goodale has been assisting with
the haying work this summer, and
at the time of the accident was
driving a mower.
Something went wrong with the
mechanism of the cutting machine,
and the young woman stepped off
the mower to investigate, standing
directly in fornt of the sickle.
Something startled the horses, and
she called to them to stop, but in
stead of following the command,
they gave jump and started off.
The sickle caught Miss Goodale's
right foot,.severing the large tendon
In some way, Miss Goodale fell
clear of the sickle, and when she
was brought to the hospital for
treatment it was discovered that
the only injury was that resulting
from the severing of the tendon.
Although it was thought at first
that the young woman might be per-
manently lame, the tendon was
sewed together and her physician
states that in all probability it will
grow together, and while the in
jured member may be rather weak
for some time, no permanent dis
ability will result.
Miss Goodale is a popular student
at the high school, and will enter
upon her junior year at the local
institution this fall.-Elko Free
Press.
