While fitting my shoes with new solcs,
new solcS,
And there stocking looted
sat as ii rooted
With holes in my socks, blooming
holes. holes, holes,
Alas, what a sin to
Look out through the window
And see Mary passing, my sweet, my

But how could holo
And how could follow
With holes in my socks and no shoes

The blooming old iaker,
To give back my shoes without solcs,
without heels.
But though they weren't done, he
Demanded the money
And turned deaf ear to my frantic
appeals.

Walked Mary, sweet Mary. with swift
graceful stride.

able ascendency over property rights.
Relief from these grave evils cannot be
secured by petty reforms. The action

from which these evils spring
The pretense of open shop advocates
is exposed thusly:
THE theory of the open shop accord
ing to these witnesses (employers), is
that workers are employed without any
reference to their membership or non
membership in trade unions while. as a
matter of fact. it was found upon inves-
tigation that these employers did not
willingly or knowingly employ union
men. Nevertheless, this is deemed to be
minor point. The open shop even if
union men are not Disseminated against,
is as much a denial of the right of col
lCctive action as is the 'anti-unon shop
In neither is the collective action of en-
ployes permitted for the purpose of ne
gotiating with reference to labor condi-
tons. Both in theory and practice in
the absence of legislative regulation, the
working conditions are fixed by the en-
ployer. 1t is evident. therefore. that
there can at best be only a benevolent
despotism where collective action on the
part of employees does not exist"

Industry the report says:
"As a result of their unprotected con-

agriculture. to an extent which threatens
their health and welfare and menaces
the well-being of future generations. The
competition Of women and children is a
direct menace to the wage and salary
standards of men. Under present con-

parents to go to work largely because
their earnings are necessary for the sup

GEORGIA'S DUTY.

Athens, Ga.-Thc Herald OF this city
says:
"Thc General Assembly has been
urged year after year to enact a com
pulsory education law, but the body
has invariably turned deaf ear to
every appeal. The forces engaged in
the molding OF child life into dollars
have thus far successfully combated
every effort set forth to cmancipatc the
child from the thralldom OF industrial
slavery.
How much longer is Georgia to be
numbered among the disgracciuly illit-
crate States: What will have to happen
to force the Legislature to a realization
OF its duty to the men and women OF to-
morrow Are even the rudiments OF
an education to be forever denied the
children OF the poor oi Georgia :
Every taxpaying citizen Oi this State
helps to pay for the higher education
oi those educated i'll the State univer-
sity, and consequently why should not
the children OF these more humble
citizens. who are year after year con-
tributing their mite to educate others,
be enabled to at least see that their off
spring have at least a fighting chance
in the world:"

HOW THEY DIVIDED

Speaking generally, the commits

ed into two groups, one supporting
the Manly report, the other, the
Commons report. The individuals
i'm these groups again divided on
minor points.
The "Manly group" consists of

These four members insist that the
commission was appointed for the
purpose of finding the "causcs" of
industrial unrest, and deal with
such questions as swollen fortunes,
mOnOpOlization of land and natural
resources, fcudalism i'm industry,
etc.
The "Commons group" consists
of Commissioners Commons, Flor

representing employers. This group
declares the greatest cause for i'm.

South is not the only section OF this
country where child labor is exploited.
She says:
"Purtanical New England has long
looked askance and pointed the accus-

fore trying to pluck the mote from the
eye OF the South or any other section
OF the country.

Illogical ARRANGEMENTS

the absence OF a definite scheme mis-
takes are likely to be made. This
plan should include the location Of
buildings, drives, walks, trees, shrub
berry. and every other feature which
contributes either to the convenience
Or characterization of the place. The
location of the house and farm build
ings is the first consideration, even
though it happens that some or all
OF these are already on the ground, a
place for their location is important.
New farm houses are erected to sup
plant old ones and other new farm
structures are added, which makes
practicable a general consideration Of
the entire building scheme. Material
Improvement can often be made in
farmstead by a REIMBURSEMENT as new
buildings are put up, though the best
results are obtained where things are
planned right from the start.
In selecting q site for the house
good drainage is the first requisite. 4
south Or east slope is generally to
be preferred while a north slope is
undesirable. In it's location gives the
house greatest prominence. The
farmstead first Of all provides home
and the residence should stand out
as the central and most conspicuous
| feature Of the picture. To place the
| barn and other buildings in front Of
! the house is to reverse the logical
order Of things. Locate the house
| back far enough from the highway to
| afford privacy and give a good stretch
| Of lawn in front, and yet not SO far
! back as to suggest a spirit Of exclu-
| sion, nor with a lawn so large that
| it cannot be properly cared for, NJ OSt
| city dooryards are too small while
many Of those in the country are so
| large that it is impracticable to give
| them lawn treatment
| The location and grouping of the
general farm buildings is a perplexins
problem and each place presents its
own peculiar condition and difficult
ties. The most common mistakes oc-
cur in the location of buildings as tC
convenience. The corn crib should be
located near the particular. feeding
