WHERE DO ! COME II

WHERE DO ! COME lN?-Ihe
daily papers say the farmers are go
ing to get u cents a hundred pounds
increase for milk after April 1. l am
glad of it, for the farmer works hard.
The dairy farmers should share in
the profits Of high prices for farm
DrOdUcts as well as the fortunate
man who has hogs to sell. AS 100
pounds of milk is about SO quarts,
the farmer gains about 1-3 OF a cent
a quart on what he produces. In or
der to pay him the 1-3 lent on each
quart we will pay the milkmen pos
sibIy 2 cents more a quart, assuredly
/ cent.
The coal man wins a wage increase
amounting to 80 cents on a ton of
coal. That is a good thing. Coal
mining is hard work. The cost OF
living for the miner is going up just
as it is for the rest Of us. l do not
grudge him his 3O-cent increase. But
the price of coal rises from 81 to SO
a ton to pay for the miners 80 cents.
Vegetables are way up in price
and canned goods are Is per cent
higher in price than last year at this
time. Since the war has cut off the
best sugar crops, it was but natural
for the price Of beet sugar to go up.
Then I read in the financial section
of the papers that sugar has the best
year on record and earns 10 per cent
on common.

THE PUBLIC FORUM
CONCERNING B. SUNDAY. - I
wonder how Sunday gets away

with it.
According to the bible, Christ was
a humble man, as were his disciples,
who were told to discard riches in
order to follow Him.
Times have changed quite a bit
since Christ was on earth, as His
modern disciple, Billy Sunday, re-
fuses to follow Him for less than
fortune.
Methinks Billy ought to revise the
bible so as to suit his methods Of fol-
lowing Christ in the year 1917

ILL-TREATMENT.-I am work
ing girl who works in a shop to make
a living. For the past few weeks my
health has been poor. The doctor 1
visited advised me to drop my work
a couple of months to take rest in
one of the sauitariums - otherwise
my days would be numbered.
My earnings in the sweatshOps
during the busiest times amounts to
only enough to pay my living eX-
penses. l lacked funds to pay for
a sanitarium, so l urged my friends
to seek aid for me through the char
tiles. With a letter Of recommended
ton from the Jewish Aid society, on
March IA, l went to the West Side
medical dispensaTy for medical eX-
animation.
The examiner was DR.. SChOOlman.
Aside from his medical duties, he
acted as gendarme for the old Rus
sian regime AngTiIy he asked why
l wore my hair short. l could not see
what this had to do with his duty as
doctor. I answered, however, that
my hair was falling out.
He apparently was unsatisfed
with my answer, for he approached
me and pulled my hair in most in
sUlting manner.
Don't tell me stories about your
hair sickness" he said. 81 know you
are an l. w. W."
When he noticed I was surprised
at his discovery, he added:
Don't you know the !. w. W., the
nihiIists, are all wearing short hair
and are dressed like yOu2" etc
