Northern Floods Subside
In the floods of teat week along the
Wabash and White rivers In Indiana
and the Miami liver in Ohio the death
list which was at first reported In the
thousands has been reducod to prob-
ably three or four hundred. Dayton
and Cr. umbns were the greatest suf
ferers, Dayton losing about 150 lives
cud Columbus 70. , The balance were
aeattered In the smaller cities and
ural districts. Homeless flood suffer
era who number among the many
thousands are receiving donations of
food, money and clothing f-'om the
entire country. ! 'no waters in the
smaller streams have receded but the
cities along the Ohio river In Indiana
Illinois and Kentucky are greatly
alarmed at the rapid rise of tha' river
which is far above flo>d stage.

Otir High Standard of Living
High prices is a worldwide condi-
tion, but not so a high standard of
living. Nowhere else is there the
high standard of living prevailing as
in the United States, particularly
among the working class of people.
Recently a colony of eighty or more
worklngmen's families from an Ohio
manufacturing city was Imported In-
to Germany for the purpose of in-
structing the German staff of an
American factory. They were not
long In having their eyes opened to
the lower standard of living among
German worklngmen and to the Im-
possibility of living according to
American standards on German wa-
ges. The meat and dairy products en-
jcved every day by worklngman In
this country are luxuries In Germany.
HAYWOOD JAILED
I. W. W. Organiser Gets SI* Months
William D. Haywood, organiser of
the Industrial Workers of the World,
was sentenced to six months in the
county Jail at Patterson, N.J. Hay
wood was convicted of a charge of
disorderly conduct growing out of
gathering of strikers In the New Jer
Bey City. A second charge of caus-
ing unlawful assemblages was lodged
against him on which he was held over
to the grand jury the amount of bis
bail to be flxed later. While the
trial was going on a crowd of more
than 2000 strikers and strike sympa
thizers gathered In front of police
headquarters and attempted to over
awe the one hundred policemen arm
ec with riot guns who were guarding
the building.

J. Pierpont Morgan Dead
J. Pierpont Morgan the New York
financier died in Rome Monday after-
noon after an illness of about one
week. Mr. Morgan had been in poor
health for many months but the symp-
toms had not become aggravated until
recently. On last Wednesday he Bank

Friedman Cure Gets Results |
The tuberculosis cure discovered by |
Dr. F. F. Friedman of Berlin which,
has been tried on many who are afflict-
ed in the East, gives every evidence
that It is a complete success. Every
patient who has been inoculated with
the serum is improving rapidly.
The German workman, according gradual collapse following a condl
to the cable to the New York -.mesls tfon of nervous prostration
content with a dally diet of black
coffee, oleomargarine, cheese, sau-
sage and vegetables, with meat per-
haps on Sunday." Fancy an Ameri-
can worklngman satisfied with such a
diet! The contrast is strong, and it
should be remembered, too, that the
standards of living among the factory
workers of Germany is considerably
higher than that of the general- work-
ing class of Europe. If with the wa-
pps that are paid in the United States
our worklngmeli were content to live
afc-their class liveta in Europe, there
would be ho complaining, though ev-
erything Is hlgh.—LeBlie's
prevented digestion and affected men
tal faculties was the cause.

Two Minute Title Talks
Your Own Case
You are interested, we win
say, In several tracts of land—a
home place, a farm and a tows ,
lot.
Upon what do you rely for se-
curity in ownership of this pro-
perty?
On one of two things; <a war-
ranty deed, or the eta tut eof
lipiHations.
, tM; -security may vanish
with the years and leave you alt
too aoon suspended as It were la
midair.
The second security is a last
resort^ Tttrriwing up your hands
in the hope that the enemy's
' powder is Vet.
Getting an abstract is the first
step toward overhauling your ti-
tle if Jt is wrong; and if it Is att
right the abstract is your proof.
