”Oh, dearl Oh. dear me I What

another little chill nil over him. “If
I ever get back there I’ll never,
never, go so far away from home
again. I never will, I never will,”
« he repeated over and over to him

All the time he sat perfectly still

But Danny didn't know this. You

Ho must nave found out from Hilly

thought Hnnny, and the little chills
chased each other all over him
faster than ever. You see. he was
so frightened that he didn’t stop to
really think. If he had, he would
have known right away that of
course Huster couldn’t possibly have
known anything about him.
Sometimes Huster would go oft
to one side until Danny couldn't see
him among the trees, and he would
begin to hope. Hut If he couldn’t

Wealth Is Wages
Most Constant Market
Wages and Prosperity
Long Wants Chunks
The American Cotton Manufactur
ers’ association, at Charlotte, N. C.,
Arthur Hriahiinr
promises not to
reduce wages or
Increase hours,
an excellent
pledge, as Impor
tant to the em
ploying, prosper
ous class as to
workers. This
was well put by
W. J. Cameron,
speaking for
Henry Ford, an
nouncing resto
ration of the six
dollars a day
minimum wage,
which will cost
Henry Ford $2,000,000 a month!
Said Mr. Cameron:
“The finest possible method of
distributing the nation’s goods is
through wages. They represent
work done and useful wealth creat
ed; they never drain or tax the
country—they add substance and
strength. . . .
“It is Impossible to exaggerate
the dependence of the country upon
wages earned and paid, or the hap
py effect of a return of wages after
a period of decline. . . . The ex
penditures of the rich cannot sup
port any basic business in this coun
try; for In the first place we have
very few people who can be called
rich; and in the second place,
neither their needs nor their buy
ing power is sufficient to support
even a medium-sized industry of
any sort.
"The largest, most varied and most
constant market in the world is the
wage-earning American people. They
handle the bulk of the money; it is
their needs and standards that keep
the wheels turning. If they can't buy
it doesn't matter who else can or does
and their buying power is wages.”
Business men who think wealth
can be taken out of the wages of
working men, should read those
words in italics, carefully, and they
should be read by any workers that
have listened to demagogues telling
them. “Take It away from the rich.
That is the way to be happy.”
There are not enough “rich” to go
around, but with full production,
full consumption, good wages and
reasonable leisure, affording time to
spend and enjoy the good wages,
American prosperity for all that
has grown steadily In the past
would continue to grow.
Have wages and prosperity in
creased? They have.
First, a President of the United
States once complained, publicly
and without rebuke, that you could
not hire a good worker in this coun
try for less than $100 a year, about
30 cents a day.
Second, McMasters, the historian,
tells you that in the early days
only one American mechanic, a New
England carpenter, could earn as
much ns one dollar a day.
Third, in 1914, when the automo
bile Industry was young, Henry
Ford’s minimum wage was $2.34 a
day. It was in January, 1914, that
the new minimum was changed to
$5 a day.
The senate rejects Senator Long’s
proposition to spend five thousand
million dollars a year benevolently,
and raise the money by taking
“chunks” out of large fortunes.
This process, the senator’s “share
the-w'ealth” idea, might last a lit
tle while, but after the large for
tunes were all gone the “share-the
wealth” gentlemen might begin
taking “chunks” out of each other.
J. Pierpont Morgan of New York
who sold vnluable pictures here,
and sold them well, proving busi
ness ability, in London is selling
costly miniatures.
Some ask why Mr. Morgan, who
is prosperous, sells works of art
that cannot be replaced. The reply
might properly be “That is my busi
ness.” Perhaps he sees ahead condi
tions In which “real money” will be
better than miniatures.
Telegram, dated Washington, from
Congressman P. L. Gassaway. Try
to be as cheerful as he is:
“Just returned from trip through
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
Crops are good out there. Prosper
ity is certain. Couldn't get break
fast in railroad restaurant on ac
count of crowd.”
Jackie Kaul, a New York boy,
five years old, thought kidnaped, is
found in the East river, drowned
by accident, undoubtedly.
After dreadful anxiety, to know
the truth brings relief to the par
ents. The sad death of this child
shows how faith and a belief in
j the hereafter console human beings.
Faith that their child is happy in
another world, and has been happy
and safe ever since they first
missed him, makes their grief bear
able.

at the bodice. You’ll find the cut of
the skirt excellent, too. It’s a grand
dress to make up In a flower print!
or a solid sheer, or in voile or lawn
