Financial Needs of the Average Family

This standard OF living. Mr.. Cutting
said. was not reached by the major
ity Of unskilled labovers who receive
from $3.50 to s1.75 per day, but. In
many cases. we're forced 70 pay a part
OF this 20 the employment agent.
This made an outside income for 800
working days OF $3.50 for a family
far below the minimum standard He
stated that the investigation had
shown that families receiving less
than $500 we're largely dependent upon
gifts OF clothing, free dispensarfes.
etc. while those receiving from S700
70 $500 were self-supporting and In
dependent OF assistance.
On contrast. he pointed out that IN
the skilled trades wages from $3.50
70 $3.50 per day prevailed. and that an
income OF $1,000 was frequent This
be used as an argument ia favor OF
training men for skilled pursuits.

Merchants Visit Milwaukee.

This is the season when merchants
throughout the Northwest are turning to
Milwaukee for their spring and summer
stock. Milwaukee jobbers and manu-
facturers nave in turn prepared for the
occasion. A visit to the metropolis of
Wisconsin will repay those who intend
to purchase their stock of spring goods
or place an order for machinery in any
of the renowned factories.
Milwaukee jobbers deserve the patron
age of the business men of this city.
They offer good goods and as splendid a
display at right prices as can be found
anywhere. The absolute superiority of
the product Of Milwaukee's manufac-
lures is known throughout the world.
The reduction Of the railroad fare to two
cents a mile has brought Milwaukee
more closely in touch with merchants
generally who may o travel at a mini
mum cost with maximum profit. While
in Milwaukee n visit 10 the rooms of the
Milwaukee Association of Jobbers and
Manufacturers, 1919 University Build

There are no schools in Iceland, yet

scattered in many hamlets, has twelve
printing presses, the earliest being es-
tablished as far back as 1880; about
100 books annually, IA newspapers and
eight periodicals are produced to sat

Force of Habit.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
A Boston psychologist Vas recently
reminded of the story of the Russian
jailer who, changing his occupation,
found the chief interest of his leisure
moments IN catching birds, putting
them In cages and selling them to the
highest bidder.
The scientist having to attend a series
of lectures in a large public hail struck
up acquaintance with the janitor of
the building and soon noted I'm him a
suggestive bent of mind. The man
seemed fond of counting the people,
and would occasionally report the ex-
act number present. I'VE ave lis here
tonight" he would say, or lust 201
all told" or, when the hall was crowd
ed, Il make IT 370." There was a prob
lem in all this, but II tool some time
for the psychologist to solve IL.
A bit OF friendly. familiar talk, con
tinuafly renewed. did the business, for
1t brought out the fact that the jan
itor had spent many of the previous
years Of his life as warden In an east
ern prison. With rifle on shoulder,
from some inclosing wall, the man had
counted his convicts until the habit
became ingrained. In the recesses OF
his brain the lecture hall took the shape
of a Jail yard and the audiences were
his prisoners. He counted because he
wished to know If all were there.
