Hair Cut s. Cents Begin:
ming Saturday

OF course you don t have to have
your hair cut, you can let them
trail down your back If you want
to, that your business. You can
be like the man who said he don I
have to work if he dcesn' want to,
no-he can starve to death But
if you want to be up there, and not
bear semblance to one of the ia
nous C.rcasisn beauties on and af-
Ter Saturday of this week you will
have to cough up 35 ceuts to have
that top ornament trimmed.
But this is only in line with soar
ing prices in ything else. The
BARRIERS have TO live and they can I
do it, and do ii decently on the old
prices, The only wonder is that
the increase wasn't made long ago.
No one will object, and will pay il
gladly.

ARE YOU A UNION MAN !?
Or Are You Content to be Merely
A Member Of the Union !?

The member of the union Is the
man that pays only when he is
forced to- Usually comes TO the
meetings only when he has an ak
TO be ground He is the man that
will always say that the union has
never given him anything, as he
would get good wages if there
never was a uni N in existence.
And he cannot see what the off
GERS are doing with all the money
The union man is very different
person He attends his meetings
regularly, takes part in the debate
that is in the interest of the union,
never permits himself to be sus-
pended, always ready to extend a
friendly hand or act 10 any brother
that may be in di-tress. You can
find him in a union shop because
he is union mon at heart. And
today the great labor movement is
carried on by the union men and
not by the so called members of a
union.
The union man criticises when
criticism is justified and fights for
what he thinks is right The SO
called member of union kicks at
all things, but ever fights for any
thing -Ex.
