Why are the people starving? Why

city wear somebody's old, CASTOR
clothing? Why not give them work
so they can buy their own clothing?
Why take thousands of dollars be-
longing to this country and send it
to Belgium? Why not see people of
our own country getting the benefit
Of It?
Why bride the poor, ignorant,
working people at election time with
promises of higher wages or better
Jobs? It is an bosh.
Why not wake up and consider
your own conditions. Vote TO live, not
to starve. Think of your family and
the conditions they have been in the
past few years? If all the promises
that have been given would be car
ried out we'd all have fine place to
live.

wages there, for there viii not be any
given. They say this is a free cOun-

We won't have to hang onto a strap,

We won't be delayed by traffic.
We will all get to work on time.
Just think of the money we lose

They surely will look good to me.
We all will have seats in the jitney
