TRUANT OFFICER FINDS GIRL IN
CRITICAL CONDITION

The arrival of truant officer who
came to see why Blanche Williams, 6,
2239 W. Madison ST., did not come to
school probably saved the little girls
life last night.
Blanche's mother deserted her hus-
band Sunday with his months pay
and all his savings.
Monday, on the way to school,
Blanche was struck by an auto and
her foot was crushed.
James Williams, her father, is a
ianitor He had no money for a doc
tor, so the little girl was allowed to
suffer. All day Monday and Tuesday
he looked for odd jobs. Tuesday he
beat a rug for a nickel and stopping
in a corner saloon he brought home
some free lunch for Blanche to eat.
When the truant officer came last
night she found Blanche huddled in
a bed, cold, starving and whimper-
ing with pain. Her foot was swollen
and poorly bandaged.
After doctor was called and the
house stocked with fuel and food she
left, refusing to give her name.
The police are looking for
mother.

examination at the hands of the brok-

For the first time in the history Of
our country, corn is being shipped into
the United States from Argentina. The
free trade provisions of ths democratic
tariff bill is making this possible and
millions of bushels are now being ship
ped into our country and of course this
corn raised by cheaper labor than We
have in the United States can be sold
for less money on the markets Of our
country than our farmers should be ask
ed to accept for their corn considering
the high price of all that the farmer
must buy. This competition of cheap
corn with the corn raised by our farm
ers is Of course one of the beauties Of
democratic free trade.
