THE WIDOW JONES
Written for Tho Evening Journal
BY James 4. CrOzier.

DO you folks know the Widow Jones,
Who keeps a boarding place;
She's not much else but skin and
bones,
But has one lovely face.
Her friends all wish it understood,
She's such a pleasant smile,
That if your eyes were fairly good,
Could see it half mile.
She's always full of fun tbs said,
But don't mean any harm;
Al night she puts four in a bed,
To keep each other warm
She does not charge much for each
man,
Because all work is slack;
And whom they pay the best they can,
She hands three nickels back.
That does not seem so very much.
And some folks think # small;
But just remember many such
Give no ebate at all.
And not withstanding cold or heat
Let folks say what they please;
Her boarders get enough to cat.
Ii only bread and cheese.
And shc Is certainly polite,
Aud kind to every one
She's working hard from morn to
night,
And rises with the sun.
'Tis many years since left alone,
And tried to do her BEST
/ hope some time she'll reach the
Throne,
And find Eternal Rest.

THIRTY FOREIGNERS
SENT TO MICHIGAN
Land Commissions immigration
Bureau Doing Good Work
For States Farmers

LANSING, Mich. June 29,-( Spe-
cial Thirty immigrants, the pick OF
newcomers 70 this country from north
ern Europe. have been sent TO Michi-
gan farms during the last month, as
a result of the opening of the state
immigration bureau In New York city
Immigration Commissioner A. G. Car
ton states that the farmers are well
satisfied with the Hollanders and
Germans who have been sent TO
them All immigrants who are sent
to Michigan BY the bureau come
from the farms OF Europe and have
considerable knowledge in regard TO
agriculture.
The three development bureaus in
the state and the grange and the
Michigan State Association OF Farm
ers clubs, are cooperating with Com
missioner Carton in placing the desir-
able immigrants on farms OF the state.
Through the five associations execu-
tive committees. application blanks
for immigrants are sent TO the farm
ers of Michigan These application
blanks. when filed out, are returned
TO the associations with which the
( farmers are connected and then are
forwarded TO the New York bureau
/ According to Carton, the average
wage paid the immigrants is $50 per
month He says that none OF the i'm
migrants from southern Europe are
sent 70 Michigan. and all who are
secured for the farmers OF the state
are capable of performing any work
on the farms Of Michigan.
| In a few instances the Michigan
! farmers have made requests for i'm
/ migrants with families, but a major
lily OF the immigrants who are now
working on farms in the state are
single men or foreigners who intend
10 bring their families to Michigan
as soon as they have saved enough
money to buy few acres OF land
and become owners Of small farms.
Mr.. Carton believes that the for
eigners will Svclop into excellent
citizens and will become permanent
residents OF the state. Practically all
of the immigrants who have been sent
| TO Michigan through the state bureau
have stated their desire 10 buy land
| later and settle in Michigan
! Commissioner Carton is OF the opin-
ion that the immigrant bureau will
greatly assist the farmers In solving
the labor problem In the past farm
ers have had difficulty in securing de
sirable farm help, but with the com
ing OF the foreigners. the question ie
solved. according 20 the state official
