the study of the doctrines of free trade
womans suffrage, tax reform and the
temperance question.
In 1898 Miss Hunt went to Chicago

great strike that she got her first in
sight into the strife between capital
and labor. After a few years study
of the question she joined the Social
list party and was a delegate to the
Illinois state convention. In 1904 she
was a nominee for trustee of the State
university of Illinois.

What to do this summer is the

twenty who are soon to be out OF

the majority of these boys, good

thing in the world and merchants
and shop foremen are having many
applications every day for some
thing to do
Richmond does not afford tn copper
tunities that there are in big city
for a boy to find work There are not
many factories here that employ boys
in the summer and all other lines OF
business are more or less dull during
June, July and August, but most ev-

is hard week for men who have pos
sible positions to be filled, as soon as
school closes.
