We hear a great deal nowadays about the high cost of living and the blame for it has been placed up on the trusts, the middlemen, the tariff and other agencies amenable to law, and efforts are being made by legislation and co-operation to bring about conditions which shall tend to bring down prices. This is all well In its way, but even if it succee'ds it leaves the main point un touched. If a man who makes a hundred dollars a month spends every cent of it now, the probabili ties are that he will spend it all with prices of the necessities of life cut in two. Having the necessities provided, the remainder of his sal ary will go In luxuries. The truth is that the American people within the last fifty years have developed an appetite for luxury. The work ing man of today demands much I more than tne man or weaitn en joyed a few years ago. Thirty years ago in the town of two thousand in habitants in the middle west where the writer lived, there were probably less than a pozen pianos. Not one family in twenty owned an organ. Three years ago in a city of nine thousand, where the majority of the men were mechanics, I counted six teen pianos, four organs and two graphaphones, besides several horns, violins, accordeons, etc., within the radius of one block from my home. The daughter of the day laborer and the laundress is supplied with- a piano on the installment plan. And then comes the cost of lessons and books, the cost of which would go far toward clothing the child. Thirty years ago Wilton and Turk ish rugs were unknown outside tne large cities. Perhaps there were as many Brussels carpets as there were pianos. People In good circumstance p'anos. People in good circumstances had an ingrain carpet on the parlor floor, but the great majority of the homes had rag carpets, which repre sented a cash outlay or ii'om one- tenth to one-quarter what we now pay for rugs and carpets. Perhaps twenty families in A-- (as we will cail the writer's native town) had upholstered furniture thirty years ago. Now there are more that have It than there are that do not. Lace curtains were almost unknown. Thei were few pictures, and these were as a rule chromos or colored lithographs, premiums with magazines, cheaply framed, and the bric-a-brac was mostly china. There were few books or magazines, in many families none at all. The home paper was often the only liter ature. The kerosene lamp and the candle furnished the artificial light. The telephone was not invented. City water had' not been installed and the cistern and the neighbor hood well supplied the community, often without a cent of outlay to many families. There was not a bathroom in town. Not having the modern conveniences to provide for, taxes were low. One sewing ma chine often served a whole neigh borhood. Silverware, with the occa sional exception of spoons, was never seen in the houses of people in ordi nary circumstances. The dishes in common use were ironstone' china similar to that now used in cheap hotels. Cut glass and fancy china, now so common, were seen only in the homes of the wealthiest. Gas, gasoline and kerosene stoves and re frigerators were yet to be invented. Not only was the cost of labor and building materials less a generation aco, but the finishing of dwellings was much plainer. There were no fancy windows nor doors, no built in work, no wiring nor plumbing. The woodwork was of the plainest and either painfced or left without any finish at all. . It cost less to clothe a family in those days because less attention was paid to the changes of fashion; con sequently good materials were bought; clothes were taken care of and therefore lasted several times as long as they do now. Nobody wants anything to last in these days, for if it did they would not have an excuse for getting new. A silk dress used to last a lifetime and was worn only by an adult and on proper occa sions. Now it Is the ordinary street and school dress of many a young girl, who would be more suitably clad in gingham. Gold watches and diamonds were once the mark of wealth, but with the installment plan anyone can have them. The bill for food was one-half as much as it Is now, not merely be cause prices were lower, but because the luxuries of that time are the ne cessities of today. I will venture to say that not one-tenth the amount of canned and bottled goods or fresh fruit and vegtables were sold in the smaller towns thirty years ago hat there is today. What one could not raise in these lines he did without. Cakes and confectionery were not every-day articles of food in the home of the working man, but were kept for holidays and for company. I think many of the grandparents will agree with me wheij I say that the average child of today has as much money spent on him for sweets, toys and other treats every year as was spent on one of them during their entire childhood. These are a few of the items which go to make up the present high cost of living. If it costs more to live now than it did a few years aso, it is largely because we live better. The writer does not say that all this is extravagance, or that we should go back to the old ways in all things, but merely calls to mind the old say ing that "They that dance must pay the piper." We should place the blame where it belongs and seek the remedy in our own method of living, by eliminating so far as possible the unnecessary expenses. RECIPES. ' Johnnyrake. Dissolve a teaspoonful of soda in IVi cups of buttermilk, add 6 heap ing tablespoonfuls of yellow corn meal and 3 of white flour, 1 of su gar and a teaspoonful of salt. Stir and bake till brown. Apple Jolinnycakc. Add to the above recipe 1 table spoonful of sugar and 1 apple sliced thin. This is well liked by children and makes a cheap dessert. Apple Pie Hint. Sometimes the apples do not cook as quickly as the crust and are found hard when the pie or pudding is eat en. To prevent this prepare your apples and season them as for pie, add a little water and place them in the oven till they begin to soften. Pour off the juice before using and this will obviate over-juicy pies. Quick Graham Bread. One pint graham flour, 1 pint flour, 1 teaspoonful soda, 1 teaspoon ful salt, 1 pints sour milk. WILSON ON WARPATH President Goes to New Jersey to Make Fight for Jury Reforms in the State Courts. Washington, May 1. President Woodrow Wilson, in the role of a fighting man, will be presented to residents of New Jersey tonight and tomorrow. Angered by the oposi' tion his plan for jury reforms, for mulated while he was governor of the state, is meeting in New Jersey, the president left for Newark at 3 o'clock this afternoon to lock horns with the opponents of the measure. The president is due in Newark at 7 o'clock and will make his first speech there. He made it plain be fore leaving Washington that his speeches will be vitriolic in character and that he intends to roast former Senator Smith, his old-time enemy, to a nice brown turn. President Wilson openly declared that he In tended to defy the so-colled non partisan machine which he alleges has combined with the Smith ma chine to prevent enactment by the legislature of a law reforming the state jury system. The machine combination was ex pected to control the special session of the legislature next week and wants the jury reform bill submitted to a referendum vote. The president maintains that this would defeat the bill's support. He also believes that if the question is left to a referen dum the machine will be able to de feat the plan in the counties where in Jersey City, Newark and Hoboken are located. An Old One Retold. "They thought more of the Legion of Honor in the time of the first Napoleon than they do now," said a well-known Frenchman. "The em peror one day met an old one-armed veteran. " 'How did you lose your arm?' he ased. " 'Sire, at Austerlitz.' " 'And were you not decorated? " 'No, sire.' " 'Then here is my cross for you; I make you chevalier.' "Your majesty . names me cheva lier because I have lost one arm! What would your majesty have done had I lost both arms?' " 'Oh, In that case I should have made you officer of the legion.'. "Whereupon the old soldier im mediately drew his sword and cut off his other arm." There is no particular reason to doubt this story. The only question is, how . did he do It? Everybody's Magazine.

First National Bank Oldest National Bank in Jackson County Eliicient Service Courteous Treatment W. C. T. U. "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." This thought of Solomon's has been scoffed at by unbelievers and unfaithful parents often. To leave out the "when he is old" is discour aging to parents and to teachers, who do not see their prayers and efforts bear fruit at once. We are so faithless, so impatient concerning development in our children. We are not so in seed planting, but have faith that in due time we will see develop from the seed a living growth that if properly cared for and nourished by keeping weeds from choking out sunlight, in the future we expect fruit. How tenderly one uproots the weeds to spare the plant! Is a child leBs sensitive? If the seed we plant should grow to a tree we can support it while young and ten der and make it grow straight. "When it is old" it will stay straight of its own strength. We prune the faulty limbs, then we see our efforts rewarded. God says "train." I wonder why we are so impatient to see results. I also wonder why Clod's planB have been so long being understood by mothers and teachers. . How thank ful today to see both alike working together to "train up the child in the way he should go." God has raised up women to look into the meaning of His word which hitherto has been crushed out by giving or wasting time to less Impor tant duties. The time is ripe to teach boys and girls the meaning of life, Its privi leges and duty, to help make the world better, to think of a beautiful, well-trained, fruitful life that will bear an hundred fold" of rewards in manhood and womanhood. Every mother's prayer is for her child's good. When we make mistakes through ignorance, God may forgive us. The Woman's Christian Temper ance Union was born by suffering mothers. God heard their cry. None but He tan estimate its good to hu manity. Happy are those who braved the storms of ridicule and Contempt and now behold the fruits of their labors. The temperance tree bears fruits with seeds and are planted around the globe. Frances E. Willard, as she stood on our Oregon shore at Newport, viewing the great Pacific ocean, conceived the thought of belt ing the world with the white ribbon cause, for God, home and every land. Native land was not big enough, so a "round the world" missionary was ordained in her mind, and resulted In sending our own founder of this union, Mrs. Levet, to plant the white ribbon seed in every land. On April 27, 1884, 'our tree was planted. The roots took hold in our granite soil to stand hard storms of opposition. It would have been uprooted many times by even church members, who would feel reverence from licensed saloons was hindered by us. It was, too, by fighting hard. Sometimes being outwitted by unlawful trickery, but kept at it, knowing God was on our side. In early fights for tem perance men were so afraid of their "business" that only a few brave ones stood up and faced the foe. Our plea to God for men to be strong has been answered in the L. T. L. boys growing to manhood, and today we glory In the noble temperance men In our nation. TTie serpent's head is being crushed by both men and wom en. Another star has risen in the sky the Parent-Teacher Circle. Strength In union, noble work for more seed sowing. God Is opening the eyes of our noble women to see the cause of results as never before. How glorious the vision! How grand to live in a day of freedom to help break the fetters of the oppressed without fear of being misunderstood! "Ignorance is the curse of God. Knowledge the wing wherewith we fly to heaven." "Build on, ye brave white ribbon host, You grand and lasting monuments! Not marble shafts reared to the sky, Not temples vast that time defy, But these, your monuments, must be God-given souls refined from dross And sculptured for eternity." MRS. A. H. R.
