THE BOLSHEVIKIS OF TODAY

Some years ago, a noted educator, speaking of the advantage of training children to become good citizens, said in part: GO along the streets of our city and you can pick out the boys, who in the next decade, will be grumbers and growlers. You will see them sitting on dry goods box, swinging their feet and squirt ing tobacco juice. In ten or twenty years from TOW they will be doing the same thing and de- claring the world has been made all wrong Never having made an effort to do anything for themselves, they do not like those who
 having nothing themselves, they look upoa every manwho has gained property or high standing or high professional reputation through unceasing toll and economy of time and means, as having wronged them in some way, and as an enemy to be denounced inseason and out of season." If we look into the char ter Of the bolshevikis of today, we find just such men as the professor spoke of years ago leaders. The proper training of boys is what counts.

..Widowed fathers" are q new problem since

Almost any woman can make home for her

This nurse follows up the cases of the children

good work in finding out what the other needs of

There is only one district nurse in Jamaica and
her salary is paid out of the proceeds of second
hand clothing shop which is run by the well-to-do
women of the community. This shop is patronized
by the poorer people of jamaica and has proved a
source of great help to them.
One day a stability dressed woman walked into
the shop and looked around She two Holland

for them. The woman who waited on her was
very interested and could not imagine what she
wanted the shades for. when she was evidently in

MINOR LABOR NOTES

A seamen's strike, affecting the Aus
traIian coastal trade and the Common
wealth ship line. has been declared in
Brisbane, and there are indications
that IL will spread to Sydney and Mel
bourne. The only danger from the
strike is possible shortage of coal in
all centers outside of New South
Wales, thus shutting down industries.
The coal supply has been at low ebb
for some time because of the influenza
epidemic and war conditions.
A notice was posted in the half
dozen textile manufacturing plants of
jamestown, n. Y, announcing an in
crease of 10 per cent in wages and
the establishment of 4S-hGur week.
There are 5000 textile workers in the
city who will be affected by the new
schedule of hours and wages. The in
crease was granted without any de-
mand by the employees.
Notices were placed in the Winooski

company, the Queen City Cotton mill
and the Chase Cotton mills of Bur-
lington that on June a substantial
increase in wages would go into eff
feet for all employees. The American
Wooden plant employs about $500, the
Queen City plant about 500 and the
Chase mills about $50.

piece Every stocking was we'll filed.
And each stocking stuck out queerly
so that no one could guess what was
in it.
What a guessing match there was
before they emptied the stockings
just TO keep the surprise little long

as possible. And when they did guess
what was in some of the stockings IL
was such fun!
After the stockings had been looked
at and the oranges and apples had
rolled out of the toes, the presents
were taken from the tree.
The candy canes and candy animals
and the decorations We're kept on, for
the candy would be eaten later on and
the decorations would be kept through
the Christmas season.
There were many presents around
the foot of the tree. And now they
knew that they weren't really dream

and this was really, really Christmas.
Everything about it was real and
their presents were real and they
