MEN WHO WANT MORE"

Bosheviki means men who want more" That IS as nearly as it can be translated into English The membership of the organization if it can be called an organization, is promising divide the land among the people, to distribute wealth to reduce to poverty those who have heretofore enjoyed pros perity or special privileges. The whole movement IS natural reaction from the misery that was al. lowed to exist long in Russia but it is so radical ana unreasonable that it is impracteable, of course IL isn't strange that there be found in Russia many people to stand with the Bolsheviki.
 While we can sympathze with the poor people or Russia and understand how possible for them to follow their leaders in this instance the fact IS we in this country must help with all our might to combat any such tendency, whether is in Russia or here in the United States For it mus. be remem. bered that the l. w. w. isn't from the Bolsheviki They are men who more" and they do not care how they get it.
 It will be a strange thing in human history if the Germans themselves do suffer from Bolshey- ki since they have been busy in encouraging the organization. It has always happened that where n people promoted something that was wrong for the other fellows destruction, it has destroyed the pro moter German money has made it possible for the Bolshevik to throw Russia into anarchy; Germany has therefore sown the wind. And as true today as 1t was in Bible times that he who the wind shall reap the whirwnd

Luke McLuke Says.

The man who is always broke is lucky in one respect He doesn't have to stammer and fake up a lie when some other man wants to make touch.
 The women do not have any more troubles than the men. You get the impression that they have because it takes the women so much longer to tell about them.
 The reason why most of us hate to hear another man braggng about him self is because he isn't bragging about us.
 Isn't it funny how easily a woman who knows nothing about business can manage a good business man?
 As soon as a man believes he has sufficient number of friends he gets a yen to run for office and use them.
 When a man is feeling like a two- year-old and his stomach is letting him alone, he isn't happy until he eel ebrates his good health by eating and drinking too much and gets his system all out of whack again.
 There may be a few exceptions But the average mans idea of waste of time is to play cards with his wife.
 After all, the easiest way to make money in this country is to pretend to show others how to make it.
 9 wife may be deaf to her husband $ excuses, but the betting is that she is not blind to his faults.
 Another pest is the man who. when introduced to you, tries to break your fingers when he shakes hands because he wants to show you how strong he is
 The reason why some men never tell stories is because they know that as soon as they get through story you will say That reminds me-" and you will bore them with some of your stories.
 A man sometimes gets reputation IS a good fellow because he treats strangers better than he does his own family
 Never believe a man when he tells YOU how much anything hurts him or how sick he was. He simply has to exaggerate.
 And it has just about gotten so that If a man won't let his wife run him into debt over his head, she wants divorce because he is stingy.

CANADA AND CANADA

 Out of the tumut and the shouting two Canadians emerging One has the warto-victory spirit The other is opposed to conscription. Sir Wifrid Laurier the former Liberal premier, forced the cleo ton by refusing to assent to a continuance of the present parliament in office. Sir Wilfrd's friends in Quebec credited with causing the disorder which has appeared in many of the Borden meetings For French Quebec is strangely the backbone of the opposition the conscrption act sponsored by the union government of Sir Robert Borden.
