BY ISAAC L. TOTEM.

1t seems to be the customary prac-
tice for each individual to guage con-
ditions, to a large extent, by his own
surroundings; and not deserving or
either sympathy or benevolence. On
the other hand we may sometimes go
to the opposite extreme, and be so
wrapt up in ourselves like a ball Of
twine," as Byron w. King describes it.,
that our sympathetic qualities could be
written with long minus sign append
ed, and the word benevolent in our
case could be spelled t-i-g-h-t-wa-d
The foregoing is merely a preface to
er's views on the subject of "Rich-
mond's Unemployed"
For a considerable length of time
we have been hearing about, and read
ing about the number of men that are
Gus OF employment in Richmond. We
are told of the destitute conditions pre-
vailing in some of the homes; We are
asked to be liberal with our donations
to charity, and then, on tow of all
this, the city toiler slams into the
farmers face something about the
farmer being responsible for the high
cost Of living.
No doubt, many of those who have
been out of work during the past
month are now at work again since
the Gaar, Scott and company's shops
have resumed operations; but let US
from the farmers standpoint, mention
a few facts about how great an effort
some Of these unemployed put forth
to get work so that they may ward of
the pangs Of hunger and be able tc
provide clothing and shelter for those
whose welfare they are responsible.
Let US get right down to concrete
instances, because that is what We
want-generalities never lead us any
place, unless it is away from the sub
ject.

pleased to have assistance.
While we have been hearing of the
of unemployed in Richmond
during the past month we have also
heard OF how it has been necessary for
some of the farmers here to import
help in order that the crops, which are
to provide food for the idle as we'll as
those who work, may be taken care of.
In this neighborhood it has been
send to other cities to get help to car
ry on their farm work, and this neigh
borhood is not an exception either.
1t is not surprising that food pro-
ducts are high; the surprising part OF
it is that they are not higher when
we take into consideration the fact
that the farming class who represent
one-third of our population must feed
the other two-thirds. We sometimes
marvel at the magnitude of the farm
implement industries; but it is through
the demands made upon the farmer to
supply food for millions of mouths
that these industries have been built
to such gigantic size.
Three-four1hs of century ago. our
population was confined to about a
handful of sturdy pilgrims along the
Atlantic sea coast, and man did little
else than to provide for himself. But
the population is quite different today
isn't it? And 35.6 per cent Of the popu-
latiOn must work to feed the rest. 1t
is through the inventions and develop
ment of farm labor saving machines
that it has become possible for one
third of us to feed the other twothirds

Armed with a blank contract and

he came to Cleveland, anxious to ex-
plot some Of his ideas. He wandered
about the city until he bumped into a

Boston Man "Roasts" Baked Beans

at the Harvard medical school on "Di-

could live more successfully on half
the quantity OF food taken. Prof. John
II. Woods OF Cambridge also aimed a
blow 1T the high cost OF living by
claiming that IL cent meal suffices

Baby's Gloves.

You can make gloves for your baby
out OF thick, fine canton flannel. First
lay the baby's hand, palm downward,
on a piece of paper, and trace around
1t to get the size; cut out the usual
mitten-shape pattern in paper.
Then fold the material face to face,
place the pattern on it, and cut out.
Stitch each glove firmly rather near
the edge. and hem the gauntlet end,
which is to be worn outside the coat
sleeve. Turn and sew the ribbon to
tie around the little wrists.
These gloves may be lined with wash
silk or some fine wooden fabric.

There are some novel wells that
have found favor in the realm Of fash
lon, which, though they have been
worn to some extent during the past
winter, are still holding their popu-

They are made Of Shetland wool,
woven in wide-mesh patterns, and
they neither crush nor tear easily.
They are also shown in heavy silk
and silkaline and are said to be a
great protection, both to hat and the
complexion in Indictment weather.
They are particularly well liked for
automobile use and there is no end
to their durability. Black or white
are the most acceptable colors, al

~ name. He is only little yellow
dog. He feels pretty bad, for his mas

Pyke, cobbler, since his wife died. four
years ago, but James became so In

home and Spark" left behind.
When Mrs. Pyke was alive the
couple lived in a cottage on Myrtle,
near Twelfth street, and with the
money Pyke earned mending old shoes
and his pension, they had the home
nearly paid for. Then Mrs. Pyke
died.
It was Pyke's love for books that led
70 the loss of his home. Agents knew
when his pension came, and would
come up to the little shop In Twelfth
street to display their goods. James
could not resist, and bought-and
bought. Payments lapsed, and at last
the house was lost. For about three
years Pyke lived In the shop and it's
