WHY SHOULD WE HAVE the Ly.
ceum in our town? Because 1t is our
town. We live here. Our neighbors
our schools, our churches, our homes,
our children are here. The best in
the world is not good enough for our
town. Our people should have books,
and what is better-the men behind
the books. Their, lives should be
touched with greater lives. Even II
the Lyceum is not self-supporting, we
should have it. The Lyceum isn't run
to pay Quit is run to lift out. A boy
is a bargain at million-if it is your
boy.

WHY LYCEDM COURSE
SHOULD Be ATTENDED
Is Best Means Of Obtaining In
formation and Entertainment,

d"
Because in no other way can we
obtain so much pleasure, entertain
ment and information at so little cost
Because our citizens want the best
need the best, deserve the best and
appreciate the best of all good things.
Because it gives us the means ut
keeping in touch with the progress Of
the age and the trend OF human
thought.
Because, working hand-in-hand With
church and school, 1t is today one Of
the most helpful and inspiring educa-
tional movements of the age.
Because in no other way is 1t pos
sible for most of us to see, hear and
know the wits, poets. humorists, en-
tertainers, interpreters. philosophers,
statesmen and orators Of the day.
Because 1t inspires men to a greater
and better manhood, woman to a no.
bier and sweeter womanhood. and
young people to grander effort.
Because it is better to bring ths
good things Of the world to your own
door, where your neighbor may also
enjoy them, than to selflshly seek
them elsewhere.

And before that strike you had
American labor out at the yards?"
persisted O'Hara.
Harding, looking very much an
noyed-Yes.
o'Hara-And since then you have
had foreign men and women?
Harding, uncomfortabIy-No-er
that is-not entirely. You see we
had some foreign labor before the
strike, but tit seems to have in
creased since.
o'Hara, looking directly into
Harding's eyes-ls there any reason
for that, Mr.. Harding?
Harding, Observation-Disclosures
no, no special reason.
O'Hara-Is it because the same
pay that the Americans got is not
now offered?
Harding admired the ceiling but did
not answer.
O'Hara-Why do you not pay for
eigners the same as you paid Aneri-
cans? Do you think it is fair to get
them over to this country and then
pay them such wages? And do you
think it is fair to American labor to
be forced to face such competition?
Harding, very uncomfortabIy-We
we don't make any distinction.
O'Hara-No, but you make your
employees work sixty hours a'Week at
that sort of grinding labor for So
wages!
Harding again falls to admiring the
ceiling and the beautiful frescoe
work.
o'Hara-What were the profits Of
Armour & Company last year?
Harding-I don't know.
O'Hara-Why do you employ girls
at the sort of work you have there?
Harding Because men are clum-
sy. They can't handle butterine OF
soap.

II you had sister or daughter

than So week." said O'Hara.
Il once supported my mother and
two brothers on SIS a week." said
Harding, shllfuIly evading the ques-
ton.
''When was that?" asked O'Hara.
Twenty-Five years ago." said
Harding.
"Of course, it hasn't occurred to
you that the cost of living has in.
creased since then, nor that Chicago
is not where you were doing this, :"
said O'Hara.
Harding did not answer.
''Do you think your firm could pay
a minimum wage of $3.50 without it's
business being hurt?" asked 0'Hara.
81 don't know" said Harding. "The
competition against Kansas City al
ready is great as it is. I'm afraid
a state minimum wage law would Sc
riousIy interfere with business.
The members of the commission,
who know, as everyone does, that
Armour & Co. has an immense plant
at Kansas City, scratched their heads
at this, doubtless wondering if Ar
mour & Co. were competing against
itself.
Don't you think" said O'Hara,
chat you are treating the girl that
comes to you to sell her labor, very
badly-I mean by this hour plan.
Why do you buy her labor at retail?
Why don't you buy it wholesale? And
at such times as work is Stacker than
usual, why does not your great firm
shoulder the loss instead of laying
of the little girls to whom dollar
means so much?"
ooh, it's due to economic. condi-
TONS" said Harding.
"You have had several strikes out
at the yards. When was the last
one?"

Uses want ADJ in
Plan to Save Girls
From City Pitfalls
District Attorney Ad-
vertises For Places in Homes i.
For Dependent Ones.

MILWAUKEE, Feb. 2S.-The follow
ing want ad" was published here to-
day:
WANTED-One hundred married
women willing TO take into their
homes nice. clean young girls as
maids. and to take active interest in
the girls welfare. Apply at office of
District Attorney Edward j. Yockey.
A campaign to save young girls from
the evils and vices of big city is the
object of Mr.. Yockey. Not the least
part of his plan is the solution of the
domestic service problem of the Mil
waukee housewife.
The district attorney Is interested in
whose environments is of the worst and
whose young lives are endangered. His
idea is to provide homes for young girls,
who without other help would neces-
sarily work in factories or places where
their youth and unsophisticated nature
would render them easy prey to waiting
snares and pitfalls.
Mothers have come to Mr.. Yockey
with pleas for help. Their daughters
are working for pitiful wage in fac
tory or shop, with associates possibly
of questionable character, and mother
love has prompted them to seek advice
from the prosecuting attorney, and
these are the girls Mr.. Yockey seeks to
save.

Pretty Postal Clerk
Quits After Pooling
UncleSam 18Month
Miss May Belle McMullen Was
Mrs. Henry Sheledy All
That Time.

MILLEDGEVILLE, GA. Feb. 2S.-
When Miss May Belle McMullen, the
pretty clerk in the postoffice here, re-
signed her position today she put one
over on Uncle Sam by announcing that
she had been a married woman for
eighteen months.
About two years ago Miss McMullen
was employed in the census bureau at
Washington, and while there she met
Henry Sheledy, young clerk in the
same office. They were married and
their marriage kept secret, as the
government does not permit married
women to hold positions.
Soon after their marriage Shelley
went to Missouri, where he entered
college, and Miss McMullen was trans
ferred to the postofice here. No one
had any knowledge of her marriage I'M
til she resigned today and left for the
West to spend the remainder of her
days in happiness.

QUOTES
C.WASH|NCTON

Brigadier General Robert X. Evans,
commanding the second brigade of the
first division of the United States army,
is an ardent admirer of George Wash
inston, whose birthday he celebrated the
other day, Not only the man. but his
military policy, General Evans has much
respect and admira ton for.
General Evans believes that the United
States would not have an easy time con-
quering Mexico, or even capturing Mexico
City, and he quoted General Washington
as follows to illustrate:
Regular troops alone are equal to the
eNlgencieS Of modern war, as we'll for de
ienSe as offenSe, and when a substitute
~ attempted 1t must prove illusory and
useless, No militia will ever acquire the
habits necessary to resist a regular force
Inc flrmness requisite for the real bust
ness of fighting is only to be attained
oy constant course of discipline and
service. have never vet been witness
10 single instance that can Justify
dlnerent opinion, and it is most earnest
~ TO be wished that the liberties of
America may no longer be trusted in any
material degree TO so precarious a de-
pendence."
for the purpose of getting better ac-
quainted with the men of the second brig
ade, General Evans went today to Fort
Mcpherson. He is very Favorable to the
idea that leader should keep in close
touch with the men of the ranks.
General Evans is busy attending to cor
respondence coming into his office con-
corning the recently organized Army
league and answering invitations to din
ners and invitations to join things. He
is member of several local clubs, and
his services as speaker are much In de-
mand.
