JUST QUESTION OF KNOWING
MonopoIIst Explains to Plain Citizen
Why He May Stand on Lat
ter's Foot.

"You are standing on my foot"
said the citizen to the monopolist
"Ah, you must not think of that"
good-naturedly replied the monopolist.
1T is sordid and pessimistic. You
should think of the higher things Of
life"
"Yes, but it hurts" argues the citi-
zen.
THAT may be; but remember that it
is only through trial and tribulation
that we learn to make something of

Eyes, but why should you stand on
my foot?"
IT see you are inclined to think of
yourself; that is wrong" admonished
the monopolist in gentle tone. "Rath-
er you should contemplate the good

THAT may all be true, but I think
shall have to ask you to get off my
foot"

Women In the Wrong Place.

The anomaly of this island, the
center of the British empire, crowded
to overfiowing, while millions of acres
of the richest land in fine climates lie
undeveloped, has at last struck the
national imagination. We cannot
open a paper without seeing articles
about the wheat fields of Canada, the
fruit farms of British Columbia or
Rhodesia, the offers of work for Brit
ish men and women in Australia, New
Zealand, and last but not least, South
Africa. But in large movements of
every kind it is exceedingly difficult
to preserve the regular, even progress.
sion of parts. Some portions of the
mass will always move slower, others
faster, han the rest, thereby causing
a distortion and dislocation of the
whole. That section of the community
known as the better-class woman has
Jagged behind the rest, and by her
scarcity in the one place and her SUI
perfuity in the other is creating a
danger to society.-London Times.

that each individual boy receives that

do this the school is divided into many
