had sold his nice home on the
corner, and was living in a small
Ter house in another part Of the
city. His wife was down sick in
bed, and he was not able to work.
There was little to eat in the
house. The house rent had not
been paid for months, and there
was no coal in the cellar. The

good work, and before I left they
were again becoming prosperous.
This was in 1914. I stayed IN the
barber business about two years,

 In many instances high wage Scales are tending to create a situation inim- ical to the government. Workers who are earning more money than they ever dreamt they would receive in textile work are laying off two or three days week because we can earn all the money we need" in half the regular working hours each week. " With the hot weather season this has become true in a steadily increasing number of instances.
 The result is that the mills are dropping down from high production possibilities, and the government calls in vain for supplies urgently needed by the fighting forces.
 Rev. M. J. Ginet, M. S., pastor oi St. James church, has urged the hun dreds of mill operatives in his con- gregation not to be guilty of this sin against the government He pointed out that earnings are only secondary to production. and that the thing tc think of is How much can 1 produce this fweek?" not How little can l work and still earn enough money tC meet my needs?' The workers in the big textile plants here are fine of defence in the nation and all among them who are thoroughly loyal will not forget this all important fact.
