the one she has been used to-"
NO." replied the truthful sutton.
for there will be no grumpy father to
come home and make everyone mis-
cradle by his kicking over trifes and
swearing at matters in general. There
will be no mother to scold her from
morning to night for wasting time
merely because she wants to be neat.
There will be no big brother to abuse
her for not doing half of his work, and
no little brother to make enough noise
to drive her crazy when her head
aches. There won't be any younger
sister to insist on reading some trashy
novel while she does all the work.

NEVER SAW SUCH FINE WHEAT

been in Central Canada three years.
On January 16. 1910. he writes:

given because it is encouraging to the
man of small means who is DESTROYS
Of lettering his condition. It shows
what can be done, and there is really
but small limit to the man with push
and energy to become wealthy on
Canadian lands. And the grain that
he raises is good. A press dispatch
vays:
The quality Of the wheat continues
to be the feature of the deliveries. In
the total Of 1878 cars in the February
Inspections there were 2,S47 Of high
! grade stun, a percentage Of 84.2s. For
January the percentage was 1921. and
tor the six months It was ss.e. Th!s
Is an unusually high average. and It
demonstrates beyond the shadow Of q
doubt that the farmers in this part
Of the Dominion still know how to
grow flrst-class wheat. The crop Of
1908 was considered good enough, and
It's average of contract wheat was
only 20 per cent. Good weather
Throughout the season was an impor-
tant factor, Of course. in insuring the
high quality Of the grain. and 1t is not
likely that atmospheric influences Of
so favorable a character will be en-
countered for q long time to come.
The best that can be expected is that
q fair average for term Of years
will be maintained.

Clerks Retirement.
To the Editor of The Star:


Any provision for retirement that is not
conducted by the government mot by
an association of clerks), and at its ex-
pense. is misstep. Let the government
handle the entire matter by appropria-
ton and legislation. and instead of in
creasing salaries provide a retirement
fund, with no refund in case OF separa-
ton from the service. Contribution may
be fair hereafter. but what about the
clerk serving thirty years. and over get
ting the full measure. Will those of
twenty years service only get rxo-thirds
Of the amount, yet each contributes equal
ly to the retirement fund? Let the gov
eminent meet the issue, as it exists. Rail
road corporations, school and police and
fire boards provide for pensions. If a
man has served twenty years and over,
giving faithful service. retire him at
seventy-fve years OF age at in no instance

present outfit to put up for the cost of II.

annuities than to increase salaries. and

handled in every way by the government.

DECLARE MEAT BOYCOTT
LARGEST MANUFACTURES IN
CLEVELAND IN COMPACT.
Movement the Result Of High Cost
of Living-Employes Ex-
pected to Aid.

CLEVELAND. January 17.-Four hun
dred and sixty superintendent ana fore-
men Of twenty-one Of the largest man
ufacturing concerns Of this city nave
pledged themselves to aid In general
boycott on meat for thirty days. In ad-
dition to agreeing to do without meat
themselves, the superintendent and fore
men have promised to induce as many
as possible Of the 1000 employees un.er
them to dispense with the food for tho
same period If the employees enter into
the pact, approximately $4,000 Cleveland
ers will abstain from meat during the
next month.
The pledge is effective today. The
anti-meat action was taken at meeting
Of the Superintendent and F'oremen'
Club, in which practically every manu-
featuring plant of the city is repre-
scented. The idea Of living the vegetarian
life for a period originated In the minds
of q few members Of the club While dis
cussed high-priced food at dinner Sat
urday Meat being the most expensive
portion served at dinner, the club mem
bers decided not to eat meat that meal
and see how they felt When the DAY
work was over.
Result Satisfactory.
Each of the abstainers was no more
fatigued than usual when night came,
and it was then decided to form thirty
day vegetarian club among the work
ingmen. The pledge follows:
l. We. as wage earners, are willing to
assist both the state and the municipal
tiles in probing into the high cost of
living. particularly the cost Of meats,
which is prohibitive.
.. This agitation can best become eff
fective by refraining from eating meat
for a period of thirty days.
3. II this does not bring the price Of
meat within the means OF poor people.
then We will refrain from eating meat
for sixty days.
t. We, citizens, do hereby ask our rep
resentative in each councilmanic district
and the legislative bodies to keep this
agitation uppermost in their minds and
actions until the result manifests itself.
D. We ask the cooperation of all per-
sons who are interested in fair play and
the future of our otherwise prosperous
country.
6. This self denial to take effect jan
uary II and continue henceforth.
