Would Organize Those
 Whose Rent Has Jumped

ls Organization of rent-payers of Bridgeport is projected by John J. Egan, organizer of the International Association of Machinists.
 Rents in Bridgeport are outrage ous," said MT. Egan today. Some of our members have been raised 50 per cent. This is out of all proportion to the amount that should be charg- ed, if the landlords were just about 1t.
 s There is no reason why legal ac- ton may not be instituted to restrain the landlords. There must be a law in Connecticut that prohibits such predatory tactics"

1T is A SHAME

A few weeks ago we clipped
an item from the Heron Lake
News in regard to a number of
the business men, Commercial
Club members, School Board Of
ficials, and County officials send
ing out of town to mail order
concerns for their printing. The
item referred to Lakefield, CIV
ing several instances of that
kind of business there. Now
along comes the Lakefeld Com
mercial Club "a-hollerin' at ev-
cry exchange that reprinted the
article. Well of course we do
not know the exact condition of
affairs over at Lakefield but We'll
bet two cents to a hole in
doughnut that they deserved
every bit of it, and that you could
go into a third or half of the
business houses Of the town and
find mail order printing or else
mail-order government envel-
bpes. 1t makes us sick when a
bunch of business men get to-
gether and "howl' because this
and that men are sending to Yaw-
buck and Shears, or key, Jakey
and Co., and then turn right
around and send their printing
order to mail order concerns.
The home printer like the home
merchants has a reputation to
sustain every week in the year
and he can no better afford to
put out cheap printing on cheap
paper, than the merchant can
afford to sell shoddy and out of
style clothing, or the grocer
wormy or moldy merchandise.
He must have a legitimate profit
on his labor or his business can
not exist. We think it is up to
the Lakefeld Club to get their
CLUB" out and go a-searching
and a-rummaging first to see
whether all of it's members have
"clean shirts" when it comes to
doing ALL of their trading at
home, before they say anything
in regard to this matter. It is
a shame and a pity that some
business men have not even
! enough pride to buv what they

A SCATHING INDICTMENT

Senator Clapp, Of this state,
played politics. He voted to turn
down President Wilson at very
important time. So did one w.
J. Bryan by his resignation some
months ago. We then paid our
respects to Mr.. Bryan. We UNI
hesitatingly say now that we
think less of Senator Clapp than
we do even of Bryan. Solid old
Knute Nelson, senator from Min
nesota, is not traitor to the
country, in its hour Of need. He
is not asking whether Wilson is
a democrat or a republican. He
is for the United States, in its
hour of need, and Woodrow Will
son right or wrong, is president.
Mr.. Clapp, you are in the class
of the few. You have found the
level of the congressman from
this district. We would be de-
lighted to see the right man op-
pose you for reelection, but will
support anyone against you. The
News is for the United States,
first and last. 1t has not time
for officials who are with the
enemies Of this country. 1t be-
lieves that they should resign,
if they are honest, but Mr.. Clapp,

benefits that you will gain by
using our Hostein milk that we
like to keep telling you about

proved that Holstein milk and

sey breeders have a few Holstein
cows that they use for nurse
cows for their best calves.

fact. We are very proud of our
herd. We would like to have you
