FACTS ABOUT CHILD LABOR

Do you know that since the Supreme Court in 1922
declared the Child Labor Law unconstitutional child Ia,
Dor in the factories, fields and cannaries has increased
at an alarming rate?
Do you know that the increase in II cities is 81 per
cent, in IA cities "a per cent, in five cities 100 per cent,
while in others it has run up to 800 per cent?
Do you know that in Waterbury, Conn, nearly eight
times as many children received work permits in 1928 as
in 1922?
Dc you know that in Manchester, N. H, more than five
times as many children are at work as there were a year
AGO?
Do you know that working in the beet fields makes the
back of little boys and girls crooked, and that in two coun-
ties alone in Colorado there are 1,400 children between 6
and 16 years of age at work in the fields from eight to
ten hours a day for weeks at a time?
Do you know that in the anthracite mining district of
Pennsylvania many children Of IL and IA years OF age
have taken their places as full-time wage earners?
Do you know that the child mortality rates are dis
tressingly high in this same district?
Do you know that in Louisiana in the oyster and
shrimp cannaries children of s and 10 and IL are working
from six o'clock in the morning until ten o'clock at night?
Do you know that in North Carolina boys may enter
the mills at II, and boys and girls between IA and 16 may
be employed IL hours a day?
Do you know that in Georgia orphans or children of
widowed mothers may work in factories at the age of IL
and may be worked 60 hours q week, and that after they
are 14H they may legally work all night?
If you have pity of heart and wisdom of spirit, help the
children Of the nation to escape from the tolls Of the ex-
ploiter. Support the Mccormick Child Labor Amend
ment, which will give congress the power to erase from
our national record the black mark of child destruction.
If you wish to know more about conditions in factories
and fields, mines, cannaries, write to Miss Grace Abbott,
Children's Bureau, United States Department of Labor,
Washington, d.. Co. from the reports Of which the foregO-
ing statistics were taken.

Che Uhu
of
Superstitions
Blu Il. lRDING KIN g
SPLIT ROWAN

TN NORTHERN New England and
l. in the maritime provinces OF Can
d a popular cure for a child suffer-
ing from congenital hernia is to pass
if nine times through a split mountain
ash (rowan) tree. This must be done
at sunrise and some say that the OPP
Grafton must be performed in the pres
ence Of the parents and upon the
morning of May /. In some sections
if is believed that if a person cured IN
this manner afterwards sits by a hre
in which mountain ash is burning he
will feel great pain.
This superstition exists in this coun-
try in almost the exact form in which
it exists in rural England, where 1T
has been known from the earliest days
reached by tradition. The number OF
times which the child should be passed
through the split tree varies in diff
ferent localities and in England he
r ash is the designated tree. Sun
rise is always designated for the time
of the cure, but in some localities only
is the date of May L mentioned.
The "strict constructionists" assert
that the opening in the tree must be
split so that it runs east and west and
the child passed through it toward the
rising sun.
IT'S superstition is a mixture OF
survivals of tree-worship, sun-worship
and sympathetic magic. First there
is the mystic rowan so closely identi-
fed with the true ash, the Norseman's
tree of life. The child is passed
through toward the rising sun, thus
being dedicated to the sun-god. Then
there is the passing of the child
through a narrow opening in the sides
of which, it is hoped. his affection will
become entangled and detached from
his body.
In his book, "The Evil Eye" Elworthy
cites this superstition as n of the
many which refute those who doubt
that idolatry still persists among US,
Notwithstanding all our enlightenment
and culture. For" says he, cit sure

sympathetic magic"

MUD IS MUD--IDEA In
CIVIC COOPERATION

Mud is mud whether it is in the
middle of the street or on the street
crossings. During the past week
there has been just as much mud on
our street crossings in the residence
part of our little city as in the mid
die Of the street. We know that our
city cannot hire some one to keep
the crossings clean, so why not the
folks who live near (within half a
block of a crossing) get together
and take turns in keeping it clean?
What good are our sidewalks if you
have a wade through a mud hole to
get to use them?
We are proud of our city and want
to make one of the best in Montana
and this is one way we can show III
pride and interest.
Yours for a better Wolf Point,
John w. Kuller.

Edgars Return To
Montana To Remain

Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Edgar arrived
Tuesday from st. Louis where they
have spent the past year. Before
coming to Montana, St. Louis was
their home for 81 years and they
have several married children resid,
ing there. When they returned there
a year ago it was with the intention
of making it their permanent home,
but after living here a number of
years the call of Montana was too
insistent, and Mr.. Edgar says he
is back to stay and will make his
home on Pocahontas ranch about -
miles northeast, which he wisely
kept when he left the state.
They have no complaint to make
of st. Louis where business condi-
tions are described as good and m
ployment plentiful. During his re-
cent stay there MI. Edgar was en-
ployed by the Chevrolet people.
Their many friends and neighbors
are very glad to welcome back such
excellent people as Mr.. and Mrs.
Edgar.

JACKIE COOCAN REVEALS
GREAT GENIUS In DADDY"

With his appearance in Daddy
little Jackie Coogan about completes
the cycle of human emotions, for in
this newest picture play, written for
their boy by Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Coo
gan, the youthful genius is called
upon, in one scene, to sound the
deepest of tragic notes. 1t was the
performance of this role and scene
that evoked from Will H. Hays his
tribute of tears and the remark that
''the world needs more pictures like
this"
While Daddy" sounds depth of
tragedy and pathos, it is mainly de-
voted to the surface of smiles and
laughter. Jackie, after every dis
every misfortune achieves them are
enlargement, plods on, and after
every misfortune finds comfort; in
the end he achieves complete happi-
ness-if complete happiness is ever
found.
Nobody better than Jackie's par
ents could write a story for him, cal
culated to explore every corner of
the boys versatile genius.
In Daddy the capacity of Jackie
Coogan as a tragic emotionalist is
superbly disclosed that his work
in this picture will forever stamp
him as one of the greatest actors of
all time, regardless of age.
Daddy is a First National pic
ture and will start a two-day
at the Liberty next Thursday.

Excerpt from First Message to Con
gress delivered Dec. 6, 1929
The prohibition amendment to the
Constitution requires the Congress
and the President to provide ade-
quate laws to prevent its violation.
1t is my duty to enforce such laws.
For that purpose a treaty is being
negotiated with Great Britain with
respect to the right of search of
lowering vessels. To prevent snug
Cling, the coast guard should be
greatly strengthened, and a supply
of swift power boats should be pro-
vided. The major sources of pro
duction should be rigidly regulated
and every effort should be made to
suppress interstate traffic.
With this action on the part Of
the national government, and the CO.
operation which is usually rendered
by municipal and state authorities,
prohibition should be made effective.
Free government has no greater
menace than disrespect for authority
and continual violation of law. 1t
is the duty of a citizen not only to
observe the law, but to let it be
known that he is opposed TO lite VIC

CHILD DELINQUENCY GREATLY

duenting places where liquor was
sold, such as cabarets, dance halls,
ETC., and who had become delin-
quents because of their use of liquor.
At the present time we hardly have
one a month, and there have been
months when we have had no cases
in which liquor has played any part.
Then too, the home of the child
brought in on the charge of delin-
quency, is always investigated by
one of our officers, and where form
erly this investigation would state
that liquor in the home was the main
factor in making it unfit for her to
return, and the cause of her delin-
ouency, such allegations are now
seldom made. The number of girls
brought in on charges of delinquency
has greatly decreased, and I believe
it is largely due to the fact that
liquor is less easily obtained.

VOTERS, TOO, HAVE AN OBLIGATION

The voters and the citizens have their duties as well
as those who fill the offices. The voter, as well as he can,
should gain an intelligent understanding of conditions
and issues, and Of the record and the standing Of those
seeking office. To do that in these times is no small I'M
d~ertaking. Then if he votes his conscientious judgment
of what he believes to be for the best interests of his home,
his community and his country, our government will be
safe. There never has been q time when America, from
the county court house to the White House, morally and
politically, so greatly needed the b~roadminded, patriotic
aid and cooperation of the men and women of the land.
The country has no more dangerous enemies than
those who stay away from the polls and then bitterly and
derisively criticize the government. There are two cleo
tions coming soon in this community, and there are
county, state and national primaries and elections all
through the year. 1t will be q busy year for the voters and
nothing less than a ballot in the box by every elector who
can possibly reach the polls will represent duty fully dis
charged. It is easy to roar about the rOttOnness of poll
tics and the government but whether in the officials chair
or the voters booth, brains and courage are required to
act and vote for the common good wholly forgetful Of
self and selfish interests.

At a meeting of the governors OF
81 states for the purpose of adopt
ing a program of law enforcement,
particularly with reference to enforc-

Coolidge said: enforcement Of law
and obedience to law, by the very
nature Of our institutions, r not
matters of choice in this republic,
but the expression of a moral re-
ouirement of living in accordance
with the truth. They are clothed
with a spiritual significance in which
is revealed the life or the death Of
the American ideal Of self govern
ment. The great body of the peo-
pie are thoroughly law-abiding. This
great law-abiding element of the ma
ton is entitled to support and pro-
lection 1 propose to give that sup
port and protection to the limit pro
vided by the constitution and the law
of the land against every lawless
element. The executives are requir-
ed to enforce the law"
