JU3liy eniluea, 11 IS sirangeiy ignuraiiu To do it justice, most industry these rays recognizes the benefit of high wages. Most business men are enlight ened on the subject and are doing all they can to maintain standards. '' ' " To do it justice, most industry these days recognizes it to essentials.. Y Take two industries say automobiles and refrigerators. We cite them merely as examples. - . . Each industry must maintain an army or more-or-less specialized workers. In slack times some of these workers are unemployed. " . - - In former years, it has been the practice of industry to allow labor to support these unemployed men; furthermore, industry has expected labor to do it on reduced wages. Today, there is a new spirit abroad, and progressive industries in-dustries realize that the support of trained men, temporarily temporar-ily out of job3, is a dual responsibility of capital and labor. -It is unfair to expect labor, unions to support trained men In idleness, and then for capital to take advantage of this support when times get good again.' Capital, in many instances, now does its fair share by maintaining the wages of those who. remain at work, thus enabling them to keep up contributions to their unions and hold armies of specialized workers more or less intact.

This West of Ours Its Romantio History : , - One of the Big Horn mountains, in Wyoming, is known as Medicine Wheel. Its name is derived from tho fact that at some time in the unknown past a circle of rocks, 74 feet in diameter, was constructed on the top of this mountain. In the center of the circle a stone hunt was erected, from which rows of rocks were laid out liKe spokes of a wheel. At the inttrseotion of these spokes with tho wheel, other huts were built. This wheel was probably used by the medicine men of some tribe. The oldest Indians in the country. however, have no knowledge of the tribe, who used the wheel, nor wtfen it was built. It is one -of the mysteries mys-teries of the west. Pie has a bad reputation for lrt- dlgestibility. because it is usually. eaten after a heavy meal, when tho stomach is already overloaded.
