Winter vetch should be sOwn with

The advantages of vctch may be

Editor Day Book - The article in

nificance. There are so many boys
that are going to the bad on account
of bad company they meet on the
streets; they are not allowed on the
corners any more. Where can they
go? When they work all day they
ought to have little fun in the even
ing, and the girls also. Now they are
beginning to think the nickel show is
no place for them either. When 1
first heard about the Y. M. G. A. l
thought now we will have a place
for our boys at last. But l found
by investigating that it cost too much
for poor boys to belong.
am the mother of 10 children, five
boys and five girls. My husband is
only a teamster, so we found it a
pretty hard struggle to watch them
all, as 1 had to help to keep the wolf
from the door too. But we have
managed to give them grammar
school education. Still it does not
keep them out of some mischief, es-
pecially the boys. My youngest son
is now II years old and is in the
John Worthy school.
He is coming out on the first of
March. He was sent there on a three
months term and as the winter has
been so hard 1 guess he was better
off. 1t took him off the streets. He
is a big, overgrown boy, good-hearted
and full of fun, but when 1 visited
him last he had grown thin and pale.

NECESSARILY

IS POVERTY NECESSARILY
The rich declare that the poor are
themselves to blame for their pow
erty. They say if the poor were more
industrious and saved their earn
ings that they too would be pros
porous. Then the next five minutes
they have the gall to tell us that pow
erty is a necessity; that there always
was poor and rich and that there al
ways will be poor. Is not this a bare
faced contradiction? How can the
poor be blamed for their poverty
when they live in a state where their
poverty is a necessity. A. P.
