ATE HIS OWN CAT.-Two neigh

had a slight disagreement and Mr..
Murphy took his spite out on O'TOOle
by poisoning his dog. About a week
after this occurrence, Mr.. 'O'ToOle
called Mr.. Murphy to the back fence.
He said:
Eve have been friends long time.
Now let us forget our differences and
come over to my house tomorrow
night and have supper"
So Mr.. Murphy accepted the invi-
tation and they had a very>fine sup
per cooked by the wife Of the host.
After supper they went to the sitting
room to enjoy a pipe of peace and
Mr.. O'TooIe seemed to be very hap
py. Says he to Murphy:
How did you enjoy the supper?"
Finer says Murphy.
"How did you like the rabbit

. "Splendidp' says Murphy.
Then says Mr.. O'ToOle with a sly

TIE PUBLIC FORUM
20 RETAIL CLEANERS.-The
condition NJ. r. complains about can
be remedied by adopting H. H.
Blanchard's advice in the same is
sue. The wholesale cleaners or plant
owners have combined for mutual
advantage. The retail cleaners can
do the same thing. The former have
realized the value Of cooperation.
The latter are still in the compeu-
tive stage. They are jealous Of each
other. This is the ruinOus attitude
and the plant owners are taking ad-
vantage of it. Some of them are very
arrogant and believe they have the
taiIors and retail cleaners in the palm
of their hands.
There are about so tailOrs OF re-
tail cleaners to every plant owner.
What would happen if 80 retailers
got together and established their
own plant? One plant owner would
give I'D the ghost. Why couldn't lOO
groups of tailOrs organize and do
their own work? The plant owners
cannot prevent the delivery of ma
teriaI to an independent establish
ment
Where are the 70 or SO other tail
ors and retail cleaners to join me in
a cooperative movement. One hun
dred dollars from each one would es-
tabTsh the best plant in the city, and
by adopting practical business meth
DDS we would have the plant owners
eating out of our hands.
Get together for mutual benefit
and stop whining. You, retail clean
ers, are supporting the plant owners.
Stop doing this. Work for yourself
and the devil take the hindmOst.-

"AMERICA FIRST."-In regard to
war, wouldn't it be better for this
country to take care of its own peo-
pie and keep them from starving, in
stead Of sending food to Europe? As
far as the law for the poor goes, it
seems to me that it is kept in the
icebOx. A poor man can't get his
rights even in our courts,
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-04-12

The corporations can take as much
money as they please for food and
other necessities. My opinion is that
before we go to war (foT it is the
poor man who stands in the trench
es), legislation should be made to
keep our people from suffering.
While our own people are starving,
Europe is receiving huge sums from
this nation. Do the food hogs know
the meaning Of America First?
What do others think about this?-
