JANE OVER HERE
TO JIM OVER THERE
Anyhow, U. S. A., Oct. 26.

Anytown, II. s. A., Oct. 26.
Dear jim: Maybe I'm wrong, but
there must be some big attraction that
keeps you from writing me the long
letters you used to. The lieutenant,
who censors your mail and draws a
blue pencil mark thrsugh parts Of
your letters, sends me more news
than you do. He wrote that he en-
joyed the box of cigars / sent you
very much. He AIDED that they were
too good for private, SC he kept
them for himself. He had the nerve
to say that. giving good cigars to
private was like feeding a wolf dog
raw meat. If had him here I'D
give him an awful look, although he
probably has one anyway. Hereafter
write so much that he will not have
any room to add anything. Well, out.
of all the boys in town, we have only
one Stacker, and that PIGGY McMa-
hon. He enlisted in the artillery
seven months ago, and the other day
feet. The draft board would pass
him. wouldn't they? Blackie Hand,
the chimney sweep, has enlisted and
was ordered aboard a mine sweeper.
Every man to his calling, Ell, jim?
Here's some startling news, Earl Nc
Guirk, the town Beau Brummel. who
has loafed around for two solid years,
went to work last Monday as night
cashier in the Fierce Dairy Lunch. An
investigation was started to find the
cause and reason for his daring ex-
PLOTS, and it was found that he did
it to get his laundry out. Lets be
thankful for that. There was lots
of excitement in trent of the Hotel
Sleepless last night, when travelling
man was ordered out of the lobby. He
put up a stiff battle and tcld them
he was stopping everybody else from
stopping there. Today's Evening
Extra claims that he had too many
white mice concealed in his overcoat.
Boys will be boys. Will close now,
Jim. to go next door to Toubey's to
borrow a cup Of sugar. We loaned
them three lumps of coal last winter
and this will even things up. Don't
forget to keep up your insurance in
case anything should happen. Every
minute in the day,
Your Jane.

immigration Commissioner Howe.
of New York Talks to Ethical
Culture Meeting.

Frederick G.. Howe, commissioner of
immigration of New York, before the
meeting of the Ethical Culture Association
in the Rose Room of the Hotel du Pont
yesterday afternoon, predicted many
changes 10 come over this country.
Beginning with the landing of the
Pilgrims on the New England soil until
the heavy immigration into this country
after the Civil War, the chief attraction
in this country, he said, was the free land
offered for the asking. Those times,
however, have passed" he said, mo
longer does the offer of land made to the
immigrant stand and he is compelled to
work for the one who came here first.
BY closing the land offer and compelling
"A large majority to become tollers the
beginning of industrial unrest is made
possible and the basis is laid for the
serious industrial and economic problems
of the day.
Only the other day" he said, zone
of our leading steel men, Charles Nj.
Schwab, made the public statement that
the ruling of the world will be left TO the
men without property and that the Bol-
shevik idea must be taken into conSid-
Grafton, which he said is but an evidence
Of the rapid changes which are on and the
speed with which men will change their
IDEAS in adapting themselves TO the new
world which is coming.
Among the changes which he predicted
rs bound to come after this war and dur
ing the struggle were the taking over OF
the public utilities, such as gas and elcc-
tric systems, the municipal. ownership OF
The street railways as well as the holding
IN to the national railways.
The chief remedy to the present
economic conditions, he said, is the
opening Of the earth" for the people
IN order to offer an equal opportunity for
all
