IRE lob AND 1ne MAN.

Two million men are out of a job in
this country according to statistics adj
vanced by a labor leader. Reports from
all over the middle west afford mate
rial for the estimate that about 2,000,-
900 jobs are out of man. Carpenters,
trades are at a premium. Unskilled
labor is probably in still greater de-
mand and its wages the highest ever
known. Why don't the man and the
Job get together?
The man must come TO the job. He

most as helpless. Otherwise they

Here is sample vail from the man

Il am living on a 400-acre farm in
Southern Michigan, in small village
five miles from the railroad There is
plenty of work on our farm at s125
day and board. l have been advertis-
ing and searching for months for a
girl or woman for general homework.
Our work is not heavy We have
everything possible in the way of la
bor-saving devices. I am willing to
pay 81 a week with board and room
We want help, just plain, ordinary men
and women, who will work ten hours
day and do what they are told to do
They don't even have to think for
themselves. And l am stating the case
of practically all the farmers around
here. There is plenty of work with
good wages and low expenses in our
little village here for at least twenty
five of the unemployed"
Now why in village with twenty
five manless jobs do not the interests
suffering get busy with the men and
families starving for a job Admitting
that thousands of the starving are
fools and prefer to starve within sound
of the monographs of the 5 cent shows
and under the redlights of the saloons,
representative from this village with
common sense could find % families
willing and anxious to be brought to
the job that awaits them Among
100000 there are plenty of the right
kind. Why don't the jobs go after the
men?
We need a system of exchange
Can't someone devise it?

Master Goldfinch is devoted hus-
band and father. He feeds his sitting
mate, and, when the young are in the
nest. he shares with her the duty OF
filling their hungry mouths. Recently
in order to secure satisfactory pic
ture of a goldfinch home and young 1t
became necessary to cut away the
leaves which shielded the nest from
the hot July sun. When the mother
bird felt that the heat of monday was
too great for the little ones she placed
herself upon the edge of the nest and,
spreading her wings, formed a canopy
over her offspring. There she stayed
until the sun had passed beyond the
point of it's greatest power, and While
she remained at her post the gallant
husband brought food for both mother
and young.
There is another bird which, like
the goldfnch, believes in late season
housekeeping. 1t is the cedar bird

beautiful fawn color, while the upper
parts are olive gray. The tail is tipped
with yellow and upon the wings are
drops of red substance like sealing

whole tribe of birds which can sit
with it's back to a bowling wind and
never rutfie a feather. 1t has the
secret of being we'll groomed upon all
occasions.
The cedar bird, like the goldfinch, Is
not afraid of winter weather. There
Is no sight more charming and more
novel than to see a number of cedar
birds sitting on tree branch during
gentle snowstorm, and launching out,
one after another, to seize the falling
feathery flakes. The birds make
winter sport of snowflake catching.
Possibly the white flakes remind them
of the petals of springtime apple bios

The goldfinch doffs his yellow and
black garb in the early fall and puts
on a somber habit like that which his
mate wears throughout the year. Per-
sons who have seen the bird in sum-
mer and who have been struck by its
beauty of plumage have thought that

THE .THRIFTyu DIRECTOR.

Hundreds of Iowa rural schoolteach-

Iowa school children herded in school,
houses who should be permitted to OBJ
serve the holiday properly. 1t is prac-

closed But the thrifty school director
of the rural district holds the teacher
close to the stingy school law of the
state and forces her to teach" or lose
the day"
There is need of amendment among
many school directors" There is a
700 evident display of plain stinginess
that approaches hoggishness in the
treatment of teachers and in the atti-
tude of these particular directors and
schoolboards toward the schools and
those who teach there. One school

to teach with and no shades on the win
dows. The teacher and children held
an entertainment and with the pro-
ceeds supplied the need. One day when
the school house was needed for cleo
ton or other purposes they held that
teacher to the half day that remained.
Another story is related by an old
teacher, that illustrates the point: An
old rickety stove gave way and
dumped Goals on the floor. A hole
burned thru and schol was dismissed
two days while repairs were being
made. Desiring to leave on a trip
when school was out instead of driv-
ing or walking from ten to twenty
miles to get the signatures Of the pow
