JUST TO GO HOME.

Just to go home when the days work
is over,
Just to go home when the sky's
getting gray,
That's best of all if mans a home
liver
Just to go home with the laddie to
play;
Just to go home to the wife who is
waiting
What of the cares which are past or
to come
When it brings gladness the tired
heart elating
Just to go home.
Bright dreams must fade and hopes
buoyant must perish,
No man may live without sorrow
and pain,
Yet if life's one dearest gift we but
cherish
Love brings the hopes and the
dreams back again;
Knowing our dear ones are waiting
to greet us,
Troubles disperse like the bubbles
in foam,
Sorrow and loss of content cannot
cheat US,
When we go home.
What good world is this world which
we lead!
What good life if this life which
we live in,
Weary we grow in the race which we
strive in,
But the reward is repayment in
deed!
Long is the work-day, but sure is the
guerdon
When stars awake in the darkening
dome;
Gladly we live and toll on with the
burden,
Just to go home.
Lee Shippey in the Kansas City
Star.

SOME OF THE REASONS WHY
THERE'S SHORTAGE OF SUGAR.

Sugar cargoes have been destroyed
off the Atlantic coast by submarines
Sugar beet acreage has been re-
duced and there is a short cane crop
in louisiana
There is a lack of shipping to move
sugar from foreign and distant
sources.
Sugar mills and sugar beet fields
in the battle areas of France have
been destroyed.
Before the war England depended
largely upon what we now know as
pan-Germany for her sugar, the
source of almost half of the worlds
sugar supply.
Some relief in the present shortage,
says bulletin from the United States
food administration, will occur when
the first of the new sugar crop begins
to reach the market in October in the
form of beet sugar, and later when
the Louisiana and Cuban cane comes
in
But for the present the citizens must
remember that two pounds per person
per month is the limit of consump-
ton if the supply for the soldier is to
be kept at the necessary high level

APPEALS TO CoLoRED MEN.

George Eddy of Louisville, KY,
colored delegate to the last conven-
tion of the Amalgamated Association
of Iron, Tin and Steel Workers, sends
this appeal to colored iron, steel and
tin workers everywhere: "Colored
men ought to be unionized because it
helps make better conditions for the
working man. All colored men ought
to get together and organize so that
they can demand what they ought to
the United States of America and Can
ada, take this proposition up and be-
gin at once, for this is no time to
wait-the sooner the better, then all
will be we'll"

NO MONOPOLY OF THE OCEAN.

While monopolists may run amuck
on land, Superior Court Judge Bene-
dict of Brooklyn has ruled that they
can't fence in the ocean and force the
public to pay them to take a swim.
This decision was made in the case
of bathing establishment at Coney
Island. The court said: upon what
moral or ethical consideration can the
state justify the perpetual grant of
land forming the shore of Coney Is
land for a mere trifling consideration
of less than 500 an acre when it
knows, or ought to know, that such
grant, by means of fences, can be
made to return 1000 per cent upon
its cost each year,"

INSURANCE FOR
HEALTH NEEDED
OFFICIAL SURVEY AMONG
WORKERS MADE.
Investigation of Pennsylvania Health
Insurance Commissions Shows
Lack of Sickness Protection
Among the Toilers.

That the burden Of serious illness
among industrial workers is sending
married women with children to work,
causing many honest and conscien-
tious wage earners to go without suffi-
cient food and clothing, and forcing
an increasing number Of families to
become recipients Of medical and gen.
eral charity, are among the facts just
presented to the Pennsylvania health
insurance commission, in a prelimi-
nary report by its investigators who
have been making a survey of sick
ness conditions among the workers of
the state.
Existing conditions, it was urged,
point to the pressing need of univer
sal health insurance, to provide at
small cost to the insured the finan-
cial support, medical care and mater
nifty benefits that will tide wage earn
ers and their families over periods of
sickness.
Loss Thru Sickness.
In typical industrial district, Ken
sington, where the mills are working
overtime to turn out supplies for the
army and navy, the commissions in
vestigators found that 81 per cent of
ing the first year of Americas en-
trance into the war; 10 per cent had
illness of the bread winner, and where
the figures were available it was re-
yealed that the average loss in wages
thru sickness alone during this year
was more than S79 for each family.
OF total of SO ,19S persons, only II
per cent carried sickness and death in
surance.
1t was also brought out that among
S9I families whom sickness had
brought 10 the Society for Organic
ing Charity for relief last year, 1O1
carried some form Of sickness insur-
ance, but that benefits were paid in
only sixty-four cases because Of re
strictive limitations in the policies, a
waiting period for new members, or
the lapsing of payments.
Draft Reflections Cited
From the United States provost
marshal general it was ascertained
that in Pennsylvania nearly half the
young men called in the first draft
were rejected because of physical un-
fitness.
''The unenviable position Pennsyl-
vania occupies in this situation indi-
Gates the seriousness of her health
BIODAtlu. lflc ADkGSNlEdtAIS COll-
mented. AT the present time we
who are trying to do our part on this
side of the Atlantic have no more
important consideration than our in
dustrial efficiency, and we should real
ize that the health of our industrial
army is the most essential element
in that efficiency"
Urging state health insurance by
all MEANS" the Public Ledger editor
tally declares that all the data as
to the family and individual lacks
thru illness confirm what has been es-
tablished by other Investigations and
make it plain that the day of discus
sion is over and the time for action
indeed long since passed. The state
must meet this emergency" And it
adds that, "Altho incomplete, the re-
port was sufficient, it is believed, to
compel the drafting of an act as
foregoing and as forward-looking as
the workmen's compensation act"

BoRLAND Is BADLY BEATEN.

Congressman Borland of Missouri
has been overwhelmingly defeated for
denomination in the primaries OF his
party The lawmaker was confronted
with his attempt to force federal en-
ployes to work longer hours with no
overtime under the plea of efficiency"
This proposal was attached to the
legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill, which was vetoed by
President Wilson, who said the gov
ernment should not reduce working
standards in these times when it was
calling on private employers to main
tain working standards.

POT GANGS" THING OF PAST

The "pot gangs" of the jungles,
which used to cover North Dakota at
harvest time, are a thing Of the past
as a result of the work of the United
States employment service. Officers
Of the service say that the men now
coming to North Dakota have paid
their railroad fares and they have
money to pay for what they eat, be-
cause they can be sent out to specific
jobs at set scale Of wages.

SAYS PORTO RIGA

&c. Roberts. immigration Agent,
Describes Cane6eld Situation.

That the labor situation in Porto
Rica can best be relieved by a modi-
fed conscription for war purposes is
the opinion of Flournoy c. Roberts.
special agents of the Bureau of I'M
migration of the Department of
Labor, who has just returned from
san Juan. P. r.
Wage conditions there are extremely
bad. according to Mr. Roberts. due
10 a large extent from the fact that
the population of about 1,3OO, 900 is
largely in excess OF the productive
facilities Of the islands under present
circumstances. II this superfiuous
population were placed among the
eanefields and cotton plantations of
the South, thereby solving many of
the labor shortage problems of those
sections. he thought it would prove
beneficial. He is taking measures to
accomplish that result.
Immense quantities of cane sugar
are produced in Porto Rico" said
Mr.. Roberts. ''and. as fixed by the,
rood commission. producers are now
receiving high prices for the raw
material compared to what they were
sctJinS before the war.
While such tremendous Jump
has been made in the price of sugar,
the miserable pay for common labor
is unchanged, and the tragic feature
OF the whole situation exists in the
-saet that those employed in the cane
ields there are compelled to work like
slaves and support their large families
on ~ cents a day, and even at that
there is no constant employment.
"A general strike among laborers
on the islands is threatened owing

tinued, "is to redistribute existing la
Dor and readjust it to comply with the
peculiar demands of the times We
must Mt the jobless man to the man.
