THE oTHER GIRL"

From the Upton dnd.) Times.


Over in Akron, Ohio. 400 bright, young
misses of the class rooms are waging war
on snobbery. They are giving "the other
girl a chance.
-Four hundred strong, they have voted
unanin,o usly to adopt a school uniform,
and incidentally. they have tabooed the
smart designs OF fashion. which n select
few had exhibited at the expense of pride
OF that other ~girF'-that girl whose
widowed mother, perhaps. was pinchins
the family income to give her the best cd
ueation the city had to offer.
And the uniform they have adopted
costs 40 more than IS If the garments are
sewed at home. 1t consists of a MILDLY
blouse and q plain, blue skirt. 49,.
A MILDLY hlouse and a plain blue skirt.
Rather sounds like those Akron, Ohio,
school girls are really going to school to
learn something, doesn't it? And it APP
pears that already they have learned a
good deal. doesn't 1t?
But 1t is an extraordinary lesson those
400 girls are preaching to the world
1t all came about after the occurrence
OF one of the Incidents which happen ever
so often in any school attended by girls
who have reached the age of between 10
and 20 years.
One of those Akron, Ohio. high school
girls slipped into a class room, by mis-.

not with any intentions of woundins the
feelings of this certain "other girl" had
spoken OF the condition and the word
had finally come around to the little piece
OF humanity, who now sobbingly told her
story to her VINO had found her.
And it just happened that the one to
whom the story was told, although not
one of the 'other girls and not perhaps
the best dressed girl in the school, saw
the situation in its true light and began
a fight to secure the uniform which now
has been adopted.
Now, in that school building, the one
who sohbed out her story is on an even
basis with the girl to whom she told 1t.
Now those girls who formerly wore such
pretty frocks and wasted many moments
adnatring the dresses of one another, are
intent upon their books. Now. in that
school building. there is greater fellow
ship and there is real democracy.
1t must be repeated that this is al ex-
traordinary lesson these girls are preach
Ing to the world.
And will the world see the value in that
lesson?

to think about: it's something for parents

THE THOUGH TLEss BOY.
1916, by the Mcclure News

James ather was lead and his
mother had to work very hard to sup
port herself and James. But James
gid not think of his mother and how
hard she worked; he thought only or
himself and his pleasure.

give me the money today, mother?
So his mother gave him the money
and James had his skates, but he dld
not know that his mother sewed with
out a fire every day that week untii
it was time for him to come from
school, and then she had it only while
he was at home.

when he came in from play. Il wish

ooh, l don't want to carry bundles"
said James. "None of the other boys
at school has to carry bundles. They
make fun of me and call me bundle
boy. Can't you take it tomorrow?"
or course James mother should
have talked to him and told him how
wrong his ideas were, but she loved
him so much she could mo- bear that
he should be unhappy, and when he
told her the boys made Iun or MIN
she said no more.
After supper h cleared the table
and then put on her bonnet and took
the work home. James sat by the table
reading when she returned, u he
did not notice how pale h was when
she sat down beside him II began to
sew.
By and by James finished his story
and went to bed and it was a long time
after when he awoke and sax that
the light was still burning in the little
sitting room.
81 guess mother has gone t bed
and forgot to put out the light"
thought James. SO he jumped out OF
bed and looked out into the sitting
room.
What he saw made his heart jump,
for his mother was lying on the floor
beside the table, her face cry white
and still.
James ran to her and lifted her up.

.CANADAS PLANS
FOR WAR REVENUE
So Wisely Distributed That Tax
alton VIII! Affect Farmers to
a Degree Practically
Unnoticeable.

SO many rumors have been circu.
lated regarding war taxation in
Canada that the statement made by
Sir Thomas White. Canadian Minister
of Finance, of the Governments plans
for raising war revenue should be CIV
en- the widest circulation. Sir Thomas
made it clear that the revenue will be
raised by taxing the profits Of incor-
porated companies whenever those
profits exceed seven per cent, and The
profits of unincorporated fiFnas OF part
nerships when the profits exceed ten
PEI cent. On all such excess profits
these companies or firms will have to
contribute o~ne-quarter to the Govern
ment. Transportation companies,
banks, mining, milling. and other COM
panies will be subject to this taxation,
but life insurance companies. and COM
panies with less than Atty thousand
dollars capitalization, and companies,
firms, or individuals engaged in asri-
culture or stock raising, are exempt,
and pay no part of this taxation The
only other additional taxation pro
posed is an increase OF fiftg cents a
barrel in the customs daty on apples.
and one-half eel a gaitaa in customs
duty on certain kinds OF oils.
1t will be noticed that this taxation
is being applied in such a way that it
dos not affect farmers in the slight
est degree. except. perhaps. through a
small increase in cost of apples and
oil. The wal revenue is to be paid out
OF the profits of the big firms and COM
panies with capital of over fifty thou
san dollars, and ven these are al
lowed seven per cent in some cases.
and ten per e n in others, OF clear
profits before they have to pay any
part of this taxation. 1t will be seen
that the whole policy is to place the
war expenditure taxation ON those who
nave been making big profits and are
able to pay it. and to encourage farm
ing and stockraising by exempting
farmers and stock-raisers from the tax
alton. This ought to set at rest every
rumor that the farmer or the farmers
