Report OF D. A. Glascoff for January,
is Read at Monthly Meeting
of Society Held Last
Z Night.

ORGANIZATION ACTIVE

, T.
The monthly meeting of the HUI
name society was held last night.
Only routine business was transacted
at the session last night. The re-
port for January of the humane Off
Ger, d. A. Glascoff was read The re-
port follows:
The charities of one generation be-
come the rights of the succeeding ana
today in humane work W efind much
broader field than did our forefathers.
Their work was largely alternative
while that which We are called upon
to do is preventive and constructive.
True. there Is much work to be done
in relieving distressed and inhumane>
ly treated children and animals, bu.
something more is expected Of ST.
ciety like burs If we are to warrant
public support. 1t is not to relieve SUI
fering among those least able to pro-
tect themselves, but 1t is necessary
that those having supervision be edu-
Gated to the point where they will no,
attempt any cruelty. One of the mosy
subtle forms OF cruelty is for parents
to send their children out for charity
when they, the parents. are unable to
support the family. There IS an alb
sence Of physical suffering, but It does
place burden upon the child that
will 60 with him the rest Of his days,
the burden of pauperism. Then, too,
We are teaching the child the frutility
of work and that II he refuses to worn
there are those in public or private
life who will take UP his burdens and
supply LIES necessities. This is. a
false teaching and inAits turn encour-
ages deceit on the part Of parents
and child and breeds crime. This has
been brought home to us MANY times
during the month. Work has been
scarce. food and fuel hard to Obtain.
1t has been the practice of nearly
every family asking help to send a
note by some child instead of coming
themselves. We have refused to DIS
cuss the financial condition Of the
family with these children and invar-
iably asked for the father to come ana
where that was impractical, have gone
to see him. We have tried to p.rsuaCe
parents not to send their children ana
have endeavored to have other organ
izations take the same stand. The
burden Of support rests upon the heao
of the family and when he Is unable
to earn a living he should be man
enough to come and ask for It.
Case Of Child Neglect
During the month we have found
but one case of what might be term
ed child neglect and that does not
exist now since the visiting nurse is
seeing that the sick child is receiving
proper care and attention. There has
been suffering for want Of food and
fuel, but IN every instance everything
possible was done to make the chill
Gren comfo1 table.
For several months We have been
watching developments in certain
family. hoping they might not prove
as bad as trey appeared and that 1t
nonld not h.. necessary to break Np

Hard on Dumb Friend.

hard on DUMP Frleno.
January was not an easy month on
our dumb friends nor was It possible
for their owners at all times to give
the protection they wished On one
Or two occasions our streets became
very icy in short time and it was
Impossible to have all the horses
sharp shod before putting them to

for their orders and unwilling to
brook any delay in their delivery SO
many a hard working, faithful horse
returned to his STALL after trying

Of a slip and hard fall Much wa.

bad places. 1t speaks well for the
city to say that there was but one ami

late yesterday afternoon and for near
ly an hour told of various occasions
upon which he had been summoned to
appear" before the state officers of
the Illinois Master Plumbers associa-
ton and asked whether or not he was
selling to nonassociation members.
He told also of numerous complaint
slips" that had been mailed out by
members of the association as are
suit of his companys selling to non
members of the association.
What did those slips indicate to
you?' asked B. F. Welty Of the prose-
cution, who examined kellogg.
That we had sold somebody not a
member of the association smiled
the witness.
Many Are Called.
Several other witnesses were called
by the government during the after
noon. nearly all OF whom testified that
they found it almost impossible to
purchase supplies unless they were
members of the association.
A few of the witnesses were sales
men for supply houses. WIS. Vercoe,
salesman for the Kellogg McGay com.
pany, admitted that he had refused
to sell nonmembers in towns or cities
where local associations existed. He
told of talk he had had with J. F..
Garvey of Mason City. a defendant, in
which Garvey, he said, told him that
cit is scab houses like yours that keep
scab plumbers in the business"
vercoe admitted also that his com
rany had paid the initiation fee OF
plumber in DEBORAH in order to get
him into the association.
why did you want him in the
association?' asked the government
attorney.
$50 we could sell him." replied
Vercoe. He said that he had advised
another plumber in Charles City to
pay up his dues in the association
there.
