Wealth Becoming Equal
1+ is not true that the rich are get
. richer and the poor, poorer.
\Kjvtilz?s is becoming more ecqual, for
early three-quarters of the total in
ome of the United States now goes
o persons with incomes not exceed-
L, $3.000, while less than one-tenth
[ coes to persons receiving more
b $25.000 a year.
Three thousand dollars a* year is
hot poverty, though during the war
i was proposed that a special prayer
kor men on such salaries be added to
ihe church liturgy. More equality of
ealth does, however, mean more
bquality of opportunity, an‘d of all
giits to the poor opportunity is the
hest. Poverty is due more to lack of
boportunity than it is to either lack
bi ability or lack of character.
Edward T. Devine, a national ex
pert in social work, says that at least
half of our present poverty 1s Inno
ent. not avoidable by the poor, but
bartly avoidable by the rich. So far as
lick of character is a cause of pover
kv it is sometimes lack of character
bmong the rich, who control so many
f its causes.
Organization Corrects Evil.
Definite figures in a typical Ameri
an city which has kept records show
. marked decrease of poverty since
he National Conference of Social
Work was formed. The Buffalo Char
iy Organization Society, which is
the oldest in America, was founded
46 vears ago. Its figures show that
in 1876 over 10 per cent of the popu
l2ion were receiving city outdoor re
lief This fell in 1886 to about 2 per
Sickness is a chief cause of poverty,
and doctors now agree that the gains
in publich health in the last half cen
tury have been unprecedented. They
horee, too, that the rate of gain is in
creasing. The figures of the Buffalo
Society show -that in 1915, a typical
r, more than three-quarters of its
monev relief went to families in which
there was sickness. It is pertinent, in
this connection, to quote the late Dr.
(jorgas, who frequently named as the
sole item essential for general public
health an income sufficient to guaran
tec to every individual in the com
munity a standard of living adequate
for health.
The battle against poverty is only
hartly won. Much involuntary pover
tv is not yet adequately relieved, much
voluntary poverty is not yet correct
ed, and much remains to be done in
removing the causes of poverty, but
the gain in 50 years is great. “If any
man will not work, neither shall he
eat,” is more true that it was, and
“Am [ my brother’s keeper?” is more
oiten affirmatively answered.

$30,000,000 IN BARREN OIL WELLS
While the federal government re
alized more than $10,000,000 in royal
ties up to March Ist from oil and gas
production upon leased public lands,
quest of that world-sought fluid, pe
troleum, probably costs American
prospectors upward of $30,000,000 a

FELLS TREES FOR FIREWOOD
NEAR HER HOME. IS BUS
IER THAN DAUGHTER.
She is 96 years old, but Mrs. Ro
wena Smith, of Campbell county, Ga.,
who lives alone at the top of a steep
hill, makes a trip into the woods each
day to cut firewood. Twice a day she
goes to the bottom of the hill to get
a bucket of spring water. Mrs. Smith
is stronger physically than her daugh
ter, who is 73 years old.
Thinning a Woods.
Mrs. Smith does not confine her
wood cutting to fallen branches. Her
little cabin used to be in the midst of
a dense woods. But the trees are thin
ning fast because of the work of her
trusty ax and strong arms. She cuts
down the trees, chops the limbs into
suitable lengths and carries them
home on her back.
“My only worry,” declared Mrs.
Smith, “is the fear that my daughter
will undermine her health through
worrying about me. She declares that
I will overtax myself some day, or
take cold and die.
Smiles at Death.
“How long shall I live? Well, no
body knows when death will take us
away, but as I feel today I may break
all age records. I feel confident that
I shall outlive my daughter, however.”

EXPERT SAYS PUBLIC MUST
BE MADE TO REALIZE DAN
GER OF THE DISEASE.
Cancer claimed 90,000 victims in
the United States last year and 180,-
000 more will die within the next two
vears, all of whom might have been
saved or at least been helped by
prompt diagnosis and expert treat
ment, it was said by Dr. Francis Car
ter Wood, of the Crocker Cancer Re
search laboratories, who addressed
the New York Medical Society.
Relief from cancer, he said, depends
first on awakening the public to the
dangers of the disease.
Theu, Dr. Wood said, family phy
sicians must make early diagnosis and
submit their cases immediately to
competent surgeors, who, in turn,
must operate.
The last step, he continued, is
transfer of the patient to the special
ist in x-ray and radium treatment. In
radio-thereapy, he said, the x-ray is
the cheaper treatment, although both
that method and the radium treatment
have special merits in varying cases.
Pr. Wood pointed out that dieting
cannot influence the course of cancer.
HOLY GHOST FLOWER, A
RARE PLANT, IN BLOOM
Found originally in Porto Rico, this
tropical plant has the perfect figure
of a dove inside of the cup-shaped
blossom. It has been called the holy
ghost flower by those who have seen
it. It was one of the feature attrac
tions for the thousands of visitors in
the recent flower show of the depart
ment of agriculture in Washington.

the bureau of mines has disclosed.
In two years 5814 dry holes were
drilled in this country at an average
cost of at least $lO,OOO a hole. Califor
nia and New York show the lowest
percentage of dry holes of all oil-pro
ducing states. Texas shows the high
est, undoubtedly because of wildcat
drilling. Oil and gas have been found
in at least 23 states and Alaska.
FIFTEEN MEN AT RINGSIDE
WILL TELL THE WORLD OF
RESULTS OF BATTLE.
SHELBY, Mont.—Handling the
wordage of a championship fight re
quires more ticks than a clock.
The Great Northern railroad, work
ing with the Western Union in Shel
by July 4, will tick the color and the
results of the Dempsey-Gibbons fight
to the world outside. It will take more
than 1,000,000 ticks.
The results will be ticks on who
wins.
The color will be ticks on how he
did it.
There will be 15 sending tickers at
the ringside.
At this fight there will be no such
thing as a private wire.
J. C. Rankine, superintendent of
tefegraph of the Great Northern,
would like to give every newspaper
writer a separate wire.
But this is Shelby and not Toledo
or Jersey City.
Writers will be grouped around the
tickers sending their general direction.
For instance, the scribes sending east
will be grouped on one side of the
ring. Those firing their impressions
west will be grouped on another side
of the squared circle, and so on.
Copy will be filed in takes. Clerks
provided by the Western Union will
feed the stuff to the operators quickly
and without confusion. Superintend=:
ent Rankine believes that close to 1,-
OOOé)OO words will be handled by his
staft.
The Great Northern railway already
has two observation cars parked here
and equipped as a first class telegraph
office. :
Railway officials are planning to
park 32 special trains here on newly
built spurs.
The five trains expected from Can
ada will be stopped at Vurden, a mile
and a half east of Shelby.
It is possible that some of the visit
ing newspaper men will be housed in
pullmans. Between 300 and 400 scribes
are expected to be here to tell what
happens. The railroad is working with
Promoters Mike Collins, Loy J. Mo
lumby and Mayor Jim Johnson in
every respect to make the show a big
success.
Railwav officials estimate they will
haul 25.000 to Shelby by rail July 4.
Fans who will travel by auto should
number around 20,000 more.
The arena, built to seat 40,208, is
to boost the capacity of the octagon
nearly one-half complete. The pro
moters are already figuring on plans
to seat 60,000 if the advance sale looks
healthy enough.
A Heat Crazed Negro
Goes on Wild Rampage
Tore Down Telephone Wires and
Did Other Stunts.
CHICAGO.—Crazed by the heat
a giant negro, not yet identified, to
day went on a rampage, until he was
shot down by the police. The negro
clambered to the roof of a house and
began throwing bricks at people pass
ing below. Then he tore down several
loops of telephone wires and tossed
them to the pavement.
A riot call was turned in and sev
eral policemen started up the stairs.
The negro descended to the third
floor and as fast as the officers ap
peared in the stairway he would
knock them out with flowers pots or
whatever came to his hand. Then the
police ran up the front and back
stairs in squads. The negro fled to a
closet and refused to come out. The
police fired through the door, and
when they heard him fall burst in the
door and manacled him. He had been
shot through the stomach and will
probably die.
The temperature went to 87 today
and three persons were overcome.

SAYS EUROPE IS AFTER
UNITED STATES’ MONEY
Governor of Louisiana Warns Against
League in Speech at Atlanta.
ATLANTA, Ga—A ringing attack
upon the league of nations by John
M. Parker, governor of Louisiana,
was an outstanding feature of the
National Association of Credit Men.
“The nations of Europe, who seek
through the league to entangle Amer
ica. are not seeking peace,” he said.
“They don’t want peace. They want
more territory and more money, at
any cost.”

Why Suffer From Rheumatism?
Do you know that nine out of every
ten cases of rheumatism are simply
rheumatism of the muscles or chronic
rheumatism, neither of which require
any internal treatment? The pain may
be relieved by applying Chamberlain’s
Liniment, which makes sleep and rest
possible, and that ccrtaing means a
great deal to any one afflicted with
rheumatism.—adv.
THE DAWSON NEWS
FLASH ALSO HIT BARN AND
KILLED MULE AND DID
OTHER DAMAGE.
PLAINS, Ga.—Tuesday afternoon
between 4 and § o'clock lightning
struck the home of J. P. Wise, doing
considerable damage, but fortunately
no one was hurt,
The bolt struck during an electri
cal display which accompanied a
heavy rainstorm and tore off the ceil
ing of the front porch and a quantity
of boxing around the rooi. The elec
tric wiring was also disarranged, and
the sitting room, where several mem
bers of the family were gathered, was
filled with smoke, but none of them
there were hurt in the least degree.
Thirty minutes later another bolt
struck a barn belonging to Mr. Wise
and located only a short distance from
the house. In the barn was a quantity
of feedstuff, including some newly
harvested oats, half a load of which
was destroyed. A fine mule quartered
in the barn was killed instantly.
