Towns Against Cities

Generally the towns were lined up
against the cities in this hearing. I'm
der the present law towns must use
their State school money for certain
fixed purposes and carry over any
uneXpcnded balance there may be at
the end OF The year. Cities have more
,eeway IN their expenditures and can
use. if they see nj, any une1pended
balance for other than school purposes.
Proponents of the amendment under
consideration claimed that the cities
should turn back their uneXpended
balances Of school money TO be used
for the benefit of towns or cities that
spend all they get and need more.
They pointed to Lewiston and Bidde
ford where they claim there have
been LARGE unexpended balances from
the school money and where the re-
ports do not show for what purposes
the balances have been used. The
amendment TO the law would force
cities to turn back to the State the
balance they may have at the end OF
the year to be applied to the equal
izaticn fund which is intended TO even
up the apportionment for the poor
towns

THAT man who asked to be sent to Jail for

A good-looking girl set out to find job in New

suppers, jobs at S. per week with chance to make
S15 to $18 more ION the sde, failed to secure a
place, and now asks "As worker the city has re-
jected me- but would it reject me something else?
OF course, she's mistaken in saying that the city
had rejected her. She might have found thousand
employers in New York city to make cockta-lobster
and son the side" offers to her, and still have no
right to say that the city had rejected her.
The great majority of the employers of New York
city, or of any other city, are not seducers but en
who hire girls strictly for their servceableness The
lobster and ''on-the side'' fellows not New York
city, or any other city.
There is probably no city on earth wherein good
looking girl cannot find employer of the cocktail
lobster variety if she hunts closely but for every ore
Of such she ii find ten of perfectly decent sort,
with less effort To say that the first sort are the

is gross libel.
There are imperfectons in all human affairs, bad
parts in all elements of society, among the clergy
as well as the rag-pickers There are bad employers
and likewise bad good-looking working girls, but
that's no reason for damning all employers or all

today is bit better than it yesterday, in the ag

Il Boy You Ought To Know

I Sheldon Livingston lives on farm near the little
hamlet of Porcupine, Wis. There are reasons why
you ought to talk to him.
Sheldon is IL years old. The schoolhouse is two
miles from the Livingston home Morning and night
through snow rain or shine, Sheldon walked this dis
tance swinging his dinner pail and his school books
In four and a half years he has not missed day!
Think Of this, city children, you who complain
l,yhen you have to walk four blocks; who stay home
.svery chance you get, clap your hands every time
lheres holiday and would play hockey all the time
: { you dared!
Now we have no idea what kind of man Sheldon
Livingston will make. He may become president OF
the United States only plain citizen living on
Wisconsin farm.
But one thing is certain:
In whatever niche in life it shall be his destiny to
be placed he will be steady, punctual, dependable
person-the kind you won't have to watch.
To borrow phrase from the stable, he'll stand
without being hitched.
