The pitiful story was told recently
In northern daily paper Of an in
dustrious and capable farm laborer
who had answered several advertise
ments Of farmers in need Of just such
experienced services as he was able
to render; but whose application was
rejected, in each instance, because he
had a wife and two small children.
The farmers wanted neither women
nor children about their farms. So
this competent farm worker was
obliged to accept employment In a
city stable.
1t is to be feared that this is by no
means an isolated instance. Human
kindness has been SO far eliminated.
In many cases, from the relationship
between the farmer and his hired
help. and that relationship has been
put SO exclusively on hard business
basis, that the complaint is common
that "the farmer cares more for the
comfort and happiness OF his cattle
and hogs than he does for the well
being Of his men,"
Under healthier conditions n rural
life, the married workman would re.
ceive the same preference that he
generally does from employers In
mercantile and manufacturing pur-
suits; as being more reliable and less
likely to seek change. Hfairly well

when is a sign not a sign? When
it is not an electric light is the way
10 Miller would put it in his joke book
if he were getting up revised edition
today.
A sign erected by c. w Sparks con-
trary, it is claimed to the city sign
ordinance, caused breach between
Mayor Jones and Councilman Herman
at the council session today, when Mr..
Herman, as superintendent Of the de-
partment of public safety, was giving
his report.
Mr. Herman reported on what he de-
clared to be sign erected without the
approval Of the sign inspector. and
contrary to the ordinance calling for
electric signs, and referred TO his eff
forts to have Mr.. Sparks arrested for
misdemeanor. but that the mayor
hadn't time 20 get out the warrant.
Wordy Battle Follows.
This precipitated wordy battle. The
mayor accused Herman Of being re-
sponsible for the lack of warrant. for
his failure TO swear to the infor1na-
ton. Herman replied that he was not
given any opportunity to swear %
ANYTHING. The mayor explained that.
during his absence. he had delegated
Mr. Lamb. as acting mayor. to Issue
the warrant for SHARKS, and still Her
man had rot come forward with the
necessary affidavit.
The upshot Of ii all was that the
mayor accused Herman Of not having
any back bone" when 1t came to do
ing things: also Of being negligent in
his departments.
Herman retorted with the charge
that his powers We're so circum scribed
by the mayor that he had no rights in
his depa rtnents.
The mayor replied that he had to act
because the superintendent refused TO-,
and charged lack Of action in the
streets department where gas mains
had been laid and the streets allowed
to remain unsettled for weeks at a
stretch.
IF you'll give ne my rights in my
department" added Herman. TIL full

and l had four to fight where YOU
had one and got more votes tnan you
did,
Yes. you We're elected by the people
all right but they think now they
made a mistake replied the mayor.
Herman's rejoinder was to wait IN

Warrant is Prepared.
Mayor Jones got out his block Of
warrants and filed in the charge
against Mr. Sparks. Herman was to
furnish the date Of the commission OF
the alleged m!sdemeanor and returned
with the Information that Mr.. Sparks
had informed him that the sign had
not been erected according to his or
ders. and that he had not paid for the
work, and would not until it had been
done as ordered: furthermore that ne
had contracted with an electrical firm
to eIectrify the sign. With this at hand
