Travelig salesmen say they notice
an increasing number of "Laborers
Wanted" signs in factory districts
and where new buildings are going
up. In the steel industry wages of unskilled
labor in some mills in "increasing.
All of which indicates, it Is
hoped, that the tide is turning in ^ie
direction of "more jobs than men to
fill them.'* It is good news that unskilled
workmen are being better
paid, for general prosperity has fe?
Us fdundatiou the prosperity of unskilled
labor.
For yean the Legislature has appropriated
several thousund dollars
. for the State Fair society?-inctden
tally, in flagrant violation of the constitution
of the Slate. The item Iiul.
neon repeatedly fought in committee
and on the tloor o( lire house of representatives,
but the Columbia influence
which is ever alert to promote
the interest of that city at the
expense of the taxpayers of the State
haB seen to it tnat the item stayed in
the appropriation bill. This year
96,000 is set aside for. the society,
provided no gambling is allowed in
the fair grounds during fair week.
It would therefore seem to be up to
the comptroller general to ascerain
whether this provision of the
appropriation bill is complied with,
and then, in the event that it is not,
to refuse to honor the warrant for
the money. Aside from the fact that
the Legislature has neither legal nor
moral right to hand over the taxpayers'
money to the Fair society, there
la nothing in the act appropriating
the money requiring, the fair officials
to make an accounting to the Legislature
of how the money was spent.
So~Iar as we huve heard there has
been no dishonesty in connection
with the use of the money In the
^ < past, but it is very eusy to imagimihat
if a. set ot dishonest men were
in charge of the finauciul affairs othc
society, thoy could steul ever>
cent of the appropriation and tin.
legislature would be none the wiser.

shopping she generally knows who.

has studied her needs apd her wants. *
She has. read the advertisements i).
the newspapers in her home and has
formed definite ideas. She knowi .
whore bargains are to be found, it
there are any. All this should be
borne inmhid by merchants in the
small' cities as well as the larger
ones- Women do the bulk of the
trading for the family and they go
to stores that advertise. Merchants
who want to get the trade of the '
women advertise in the newspapers
that go into the hpmes.

"The above comparison in volume
.between furniture,the oldest commodity
of all and the greatest necessity,
and these comparatively new industries
is indisputable evidence that
people in general have been asleep to
the necessity of having better home
furnishings.
