A. FUNNY THING IN OUR
SOLEMN SUPREME COURT
Some time along in January or Feb
ruary-or maybe January or Febru-
airy, 1918-the United States su-
preme court will hear a "reargu-
ment' of the Oregon minimum wage
case. So many justices of the SUI
preme court have died or run for the
presidency, or something, that there
are not enough Of the original bunch
left to decide the case! The case
was first argued about TWO YEARS
AGO. At that time Louis D. Brandies
was the counsel who argued the case
from the standpoint of the working
women whom it affects.
Out in Oregon the people decided
that wonderland specially mothers
ought not to be exploited beyond
a certain point. The minimum wage
commission fixed a rate Of 1854 as
a living wage for women employed in
a paper box factory The factory ap-
peaIed to the courts. 1t said the rate
was "confscatory" and that it would
be put out of business. The case
went through all the Oregon courts.
Then it come to the supreme court.
That was more than two years ago.
(In themeantime the box factory has
paid the minimum wage to all it's
woman employees for two years and
has doubled it's factory and output
but that hasn't anything to do with
the stoTy.)

YIENESSE SUPPORTED
  BY THE GOVERNMENT
Cne.Quarter of Population of Aus. trian Capital Publicly Fed f
 Every Day.

Vienna, Jan. 12.-The second
 winter of the war has brought far
 greater suffering to the population
 Of Vienna and all Austria. than the
 first one. Millions are deprived of
 the necessaries of life and in the
 capital alone Over 5C0,000 people,
 more than enc quarter of the inhabi-
 ants, have to be supported by the
 municipal authorities and the state.
 Over 10000 women, children and old
 men a.~ publicly fed every day.
 Before the war Vienna had 2,2>o.- eco inhabitarts. but the population
 las shrunk to 1,sCO,00o. as about 4OO,- coo men have been called to the col
 CTS. The local garrison at the pres ont time consists of abou: 10000 soldi.rs and there are 100000 wound- ed and sick in the hospitals.
 The number of homeless is consid- erably smaller than in normal times, because there is plenty of work at very high wages for everybody and landlords are not permitted to dis possess tenants who are less than two months behind in paying Fhelr ren.. The. most serious problem Is the lack of fuel. Coal already costs forty cents hundred pounds ana coke and wood are correspondlngiy dear. Within the last two. months the trice of even the cheapest grade ol coal has jumped seventy per cent. Meat is beyond the reach oI tne pcor and does not come on the taDles e: the comparatively well paid work ing men and the middle classes more u. an once a week. Beef ana porK costs 80 cents pound and for lara S1.1O to $120 is asked.
 There is no loubt that these ex- orbitant prices are caused largely ny
 speculation. but the government stlll Ilaesitases to curb the extortioners, as has been done in Germany.

Although the settling of the dove of peace in the baseball world has flooded the market with good players, thereby bringing down the, price of stars to certain extent, Harold Jan- vrin, the Boston Red Sox player, has the distinction of being the first hold out of the year. Janvrin has not yet appended his signature to a Red Sox contract and is said to, be holding out for more money. Joseph Lannin, the owner of the Sox, thinks we'll of Jan- vrin and wants to keep him. as evil denced by his refusal to put through a trading deal with Branch Hickey of the St. Louis Browns, involving Jan vrin.
 Lannin expects Janvrin to come around before the, season opens. He may emulate Iris Speaker who usual ly does not sign up until after arriv- ing at the training grounds.

Baseball fans have been laboring under misapprehension, it seems, that Eddie Collins is the highest priced star in the game. Now it de- velops that the erstwhile "Shoeless'' Joe Jackson is the rare and expensive jewel. In the first place Charlie Co., miskey paid $31,000 in cash and gave two players to the Clevelands for Jackson. The players are quoted at $5.O0O. Now third player is to be added to bind the bargain. He is Larry Chappelle. and Comiskey paid a cool $1S,000 for him. This makes a total of $54,00O for Jackson. while Collins cost but $50,000 The Old Roman is certainly lavish when it comes to paying fancy price for what he wants.

THE STORY OF THE
BULL AND THE BEAI

You have all heard Of the fellow
who is continually harping.
Why? Bull"
The Bull if the leader of the herd
holds his head high, "sniffs tbs
air, surveys his fields;
is strong of heart, has shoulders te
bear.
He starts for the goal and always
"gets there"
Woe unto the foe that locks horns
with the bull.
Men are divided into bulls and bears
The Bull is the fellow who turns the
wheels Of progress;
Makes the desert bloom as the rose
With head high, looks upward ant
forward;
Has vision, foresight, optimism, enthu
siam.
You can't down him. He is a stayer
has endurance,
Or is it just bull?
Anyway he gets there.
Where do our great captains-tht
Vandclips, Goulds and Gareys
Get their "S25,0OO per" men--the 100
point boys?
They ride into the herd, cut out ant
Gull,
Select the high-headed fellows wht
"sniff the air."
Who have imagination, purpose anc
poise-
The dependable boys, who "do anc
dare
The Bulls.

Tho Bear sinks through the bushes.
Robs them Of their "little berries"
Follows the "busy little bee" to the
"hole in the tree"
Then "steals his honey"
sometimes gets stung).
His head hangs low-skull and hide
are thick;
He looks downward and backward.
His clumsy feet crunch everything
down.
He's a coward-oniy fights from hun
ger,
Then tackles "wee little lamb"
So the Bear Man
Is a "peewee' minded fel,ow-"void of
vision"-
Never hears Opportanity's knock;
Always hears the knocker8-one him
self
Is pessimist-sees nothing but
"The hole in the doughnut"-
Bears the market to fleece the "wee
little lamb"
Horace said:
Go west-grow up with the country.
That's good adviceeto the Bull,
But Mister Bear,
You can't grow up anywhere.
Calipatria merchants are bully good
fellows.
Calipatria folk are bully good folk
Calipatria farmers are bully good
farmers.
Calipatria is bully good town.
Seeing is believing.
Come and see us.
Guess the author. He's an Imperial
Valley Bull from Calipatria.
