HAILING THE HAPPY EVENT
Some Novel Birth Announcements
Sent Out Following the Arrival
Of Little Stranger"

The war is evidently responsible for
the following birth announcement
which appeared recently in Paris pa
per: "Since twelve o'clock last Friday
l am here. Pierre Blouget of - in
fantry is my father and Marie, his
wife, is my mother. My name is Fran

musician when his wife presented
him with baby girl. 1t took
the form of four bars of music in
scribed on letter card. The recpi-
ents easily recognized these as from

MUCH ROOM IN THIS HOUSE
BY WILLIAM A. RADFORD.

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
Questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject OF building. for the readers OF this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor. Author and Manufacturer, he
Is, without doubt. the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all INQUIRIES
to William A. Radford, No. 1927 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, ILL.,, and only enclose
three-cent stamp for reply.
Finding a home has been an arduous
job in many cities and towns during
the last two years. While the de-
mands of industry have drawn many
workers from the rural communities,
the restrictions on building made nee
essary by the war have kept the
builders from providing the homes
that the demand ordinarily would pro-
duce.
Now, however the restrictions have
been removed and building can go on.
This building of homes is being fos-
tered by the United States govern
ment, which, through William b. Will
son, secretary of the U. S. department
of labor, is urging the necessity of
Dulld1ng to provide work for those of
the building trades who have been re-
leased from military duty.
During the next few weeks there
will be an active "build building"
campaign, which is expected to great
ly stimulate the construction of
homes. The thoughts OF thousands of
those who long have desired to have
Il home of their own will be turned to
the subject of building. And as these
thoughts take form, the prospective
builders will be studying plans for
their home
For the Small Lot.
Herewith is shown Il modern design
for q home in town or city where
space is more limited than in the coun-
try. This house of stucco is a feet

Thus will be added one more at
traction to a land full of attractions
for artists, devotees of romance and
matter f-fact sportsmen. The art
lists find an inexhaustible supply Of
subjects ranging from manymile
couth but picturesque fisherfolk; the
Economically inclined find land Of
legends and sleepy beauty; the
sportsmen find fishing and hunting
such as is seldom equalled and never
excelled,

The following appeared in the Peoples
Forum column of the Fort Smith, Arkan-
sas, Times Record, and it is good Ameri-
can horse sense reasoning on the public
utility problem:
Every outstanding and fair minded
man knows that the street car people
should have, under present conditions,
six cent fare. Any one can see the auto
mobiles cut into their revenue. People
are often standing on the corners waiting
for the cars and an automobile comes al
ong and takes whoever wants to 60 The

suit their fancy. The carpenters simply
announce their paw will be 81 LIZ cents
an hour, or one dollar, and 1t gees, but if
the street car company wants six cent
fare, hell breaks loose. 1t is hard to ac-
cout for this animus against street car
companies. The forward looking men
should see that inquisitions against a
city's one best asset should be promptly
chloroformed in order that private pro-
perty may not be jeopardized and that all
may enjoy what they have accumulated
by their own industry and far sighted
ness"

INSIST ON ACTION NOW

At regular intervals we are advised
that the country faces an "oil shortage"
and that our present sources of supply
cannot last over ten, twenty or fifty years
according to opinion of the party giving
out the information.
Coupled with this we have national
policy which has done everything possible
to discourage oil development for ten
years.
Periodically we are told that leasing
bill will pass congress which will open to
development thousands of acres of with
drawn and Irrigated oil lands. This farce
has been going on for ten years and no
leasing bill yet.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels has also
insisted on so-called conservation policy
which has discouraged oil men at every
turn and his recent autocratic order on
the Pacific coast cutting fuel oil prices "a
cents below market price was sample of
discouraging conditions oil men have had
to contend with.
May western states owe their remark
able growth to oil and its allied industry.
Every westerner should get behind pol
lev which demands square deal for tie
oil men and the government and insist
on action now so that oil development may
proceed to supply growing world de-
mand.

STRIKES AGAINST THE PUBLIC

Officers of the Brotherhood of Fire
men and Engineers have served notice on
Congress that pending strike, legisla-
ton will not be observed by them if en-
acted into law Regardless of the merits
of the strike as class weapon, the spirit
of the brotherhood's ultimatum is contra
nv to the principles of our government. In
it there is certain defiance to constitut-
ed authority, which is in conflict with the
peaceable means of settling class strug
giles laid down in our constitutional law
Labor will fight hard for the retention
of its right to strike for the things it de-
sires as class. In this it will meet with
but little censure until it assumes to say
it is bigger than the government. In u
large measure this is what is proposed
when the brotherhood officers declare
that new law made in strict conformity
Co the principle of our government will
not be obeyed. Because the strike in re-
cent months has come to be directed
against the public and not the employer
its validity is questioned.
During the last few months the burden
of class struggle has been placed upon the
public. Whenever employees and employ
ers have had dispute the settlement has
been taken out of the public hide. The re-
suit is that neither labor nor capital dis
plays material advancement while the
public pays the freight of the enlarged
circle. In the coal fields strike of ma
ton wide proportions is called. If the
dispute is fought out on the lines Of
strike, the public will foot the bill. Incl
dentally new conditions viii be created
and the miners will find themselves no
better off when the economic enlarge
ment is completed. The strike is directed
against the public and all the suffering
involved will fall on the public shoulders.
Whatever the outcome of the difficulty,
the public will pay the freight.
If the miners win the public will be
called upon to provide the benefits If
they lose the public will be called upon &c
foot the bill accruing from enforced idle
ness at the mines. The right of labor as
a class to strike has never been seriously
questioned where the struggle was con-
fined to the opposing classes. The settle
ment is not so clear when strikes directly
assail the rights and comforts of the pub
lie. The government of the United State5
is supposed to be conducted for the good
of the majority, which is found in the

public. When any class, whether it be
coal miners, railroad men or capitalists,
seeks to set aside public rights, it aims at
minority control which is contrary to the
spirit Of our government. There is no
justification for the strike which is aimed
directly at the public. If it is to be re-
tanned as class weapon its use must be
limited to the classes involved in the dis
