EIe overcame them with the cunning
of a fox rather than the new jaw
bone OF an ass and by his organiza-

everywhere victorious. when he was
charmed by the Delilah of military
ambition. She shaved his hal to the
scalp Now his strength is gone for
the time. and the French by taking
the Ruhr have bound him with letters
of brass. But once let his hair grow
and he may yet pull down the pillars
of Dagon and involve the. industry
and trade of all other nations in ruin.

I, I venture the average American gets
At least three dollars for his every
eight hours Of work. These Germans
ara doing the same kind of labor at
4 cents per hour, and they are max
ing goods to compete with ours in the
markets Of the world.
There il a mighty difference be-
tween % cents and So, and still
greater difference between cents an
Sour and the one to three dollars an
hour Of certain American mechanics
and this difference will show in the
prices at which the goods can be
sold. The greatest cost of manu-
faourfng today Is in the labor re-
ouired to produce, and It will be long
nefore we can raise our tariff walls
high enough to shut out German
goods when conditions again become
stable. The wages will rise, but the

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH
NMAIN STREET,

Sinciare Lewis, the author OF Main
Street" merely took up the age old
desire to ridicule and make fun Of the
small town. Others have called 1t
"Podunk" and various names in jest.
Cartoonists have and are now pictur-
ing ridiculous scene that probably
never did occur-and city folks laugh.
Why?
When the question Is seriously in
vestigatcd II must produce the con-
clusion that the "Main Street" or the
small town OF the humorist's vision
is one where the people have fallen
into the slough of ~despond-or have
adjusted their lives to run in a little
old rut, and refuse to get out of 1t.
A sublime and supreme indifference
to progress makes them satisfied to-
day with the things of a former gen.
GRAFTON. They dislike to be disturbed
from the little rut they follow back
and forth each day. If an attempt
is made to improve or better their
own main Street they resent II upon
one excuse or another. We've al
ways done so and so. and got along
all right, why disturb us by changer"
Anu tue WOItu luuBiot db ~ uiu at hNip
Van Wrinkle.
With this small idea of life and its
mission upon earth the small town OF
ridicule usually divides and kills ev-
cry proposition that would improve
conditions, and the smaller the town
the fewer Il takes to make the old
homo town" or the Main Street" upon
which the larger world looks with a
smile.
or course IL main Street" persists
in establishing its telephone, it's cleo
trio light and power, its water works,
its sewer service, sidewalks, good
streets, modern schools, and public
buildings, in spite of their protests,
just az soon as they become familiar
with their uses and benefits no money
would induce them to give up these
comforts and conveniences. But they
learn no lessons thereby. They un-
gracefully submit, with a firm belief
that "those fool young folks are going
TO wreck the town and drive us all
TO the poor house"-which never hap
pens.

Editor Admits A Mistake

We made a mistake In last weeks

scriber told us about It. The same
day there was q letter In our post
Office box that didn't belong to us.
We called for SO over the phone and
got 1913. We asked for a spool of
No. 80 thread and when we got home
we found 1t was No. so. The train
was reported 80 minutes late. We
arrived at the depot 20 minutes after
train time and the train had gone.
We got our milk bill and there was
a mistake OF 10 cents In our favor.
We felt sick and the doctor said we
were eating too much meat. We had
mt tasted meat for two months. The
garage man said the jitney was miss
ing because it needed a new timer.
We cleaned a spark plug and it's run
fine ever since. Yes, we made a mis-
