THE uW ON
CLERK HIRE.
Merchants In Baxter Should
Abide by the Law-Heavy
Penalty to Employer :
and Employee

A disposition is being made by some
Of the merchants in Baxter who have
a large number Of clerks to get CO.
operation Of all the merchants In town
In observing the law as regards fe-
male clerk hire after nine o'clock in
the evening. Complaint is made that
a good many attend the picture show
and other pleasures and then do their
trading after the time required by
law that no female shall work. This
works an injustice on those who desire
to comply with the law. We believe
the citizena- here are patriotic and
law-abiding and q general co-opera-
tion along this line will serve Of good
purpose. To be slipped up on by the
inspector, would not terminate very
favorably.
The Law
Following is the law:
every employer in any mercantile
establishment in the state Of Kansas
shall post in a conspicuous place, in
the room in which female persons are
employed, a printed notice stating the
number Of hours Of work required Of
each of them on each day Of the week;
the hours of beginning and stopping
work, and the hours when the time al
lowed for meals begins and ends.
mo female person shall be employ
ed in any mercantile establishment in
the state Of Kansas, except during ten
consecutive hours Of any day Of twen-
ty-four hours, and for not more than
nine hours during the said ten hours;
and for not more than six days during
each week; and no female person shall
be employed later than nine o'clock
at night in any one day, provided that
during one day and not oftener in each
week the female persons in any mer-
camille establishment may be employ
ed during twelve consecutive hours,
but for not more than nine hours dur
ing said twelve consecutive hours"

er thousand years.
Some men give up too easy in the
game O. married life,
They haven't got the courage to be
worthy of a wife,
An I've seen a lot O. women that
have made their lives a mess,
Coz they couldn't bear the burdens
that are mixed with happiness.
So long as folks are human they'll
have many faults that jar,
An the way to live with people is
to take them as they are.
We've been forty years together,
good an bad, an rain an shine,
I've forgotten mothers faults now
an she never mentions mine.
In the days when sorrow struck US
an we shared a common woe
We just leaned upon each other, an
our weakness didn't show.
An | learned how much | need her
an how tender she can be
An through it, maybe, mother saw
the better side O. me.

Lord, we've had our little wranglcs,
an we've lad our little bouts,
There's many time, ! reckon, that
we've been on the outs;
NV tongues a trifle hasty an my
temper's apt to fly,
An Mother, Let me tell you, has a
sting in her reply.
But l couldn't live without her, an
it's plain as plain can be
That in fair or sunny weather mother
needs man like me.
I've banged door and muttered
angry words beneath my breath,
For at times when she was scoldin'
mother plagued me most to
death,
But we've always laughed it over,
when we'd both cooled down
bit,
An we never had a difference but
smile would settle it.
An if such thing could happen, we
could share life's joys an tears
And live right on together for anoth-

On account of the continued increase in the cost of

very readily understand that the step have taken is

stand WHY the Knoxville papers have increased their

ANOTHER FAMILY oIIAnnEL.

MOTHER family quarrel has started In the admins
IA tratlon family at Washington
This time secretary Glass and Secretary Baker are the
central figures around whom the TIT Is concentrated
Early predictions the the pending
BILE give Carter Glass the victory.
The trouble started over the fact that Secretary Glass
has discovered that Secretary Baker has only been
making easy for War Department employees to dispose
Of their bonds but has apparently been encouraging the
practice.
According 10 the Treasury Department the bond section
of the War Department has been enclosing printed cir
cuar with paidup bonds bought by employees Of the de-
partmen quoting The market prices being paid for bonds
and designating certain investment house where bonds
purchased
Secretary Baker been asked to not only Investigate
the matter but to put stop to IT,
Of course, members OF the War department bond
ton deny any attempt their part to encourage
poyes to sell their bonds but The section of the
Treasury Department is worked up TO white heat and
members say they will take The matter in their own hands
If something is not done TO stop the practice.
onlcals of the Treasury Department say that the
printed memoranda which they have seem and which are
said to have been enclosed with the paid up bonds by
Secretary Bakers department are more than misleading
and that they could easily be interpreted that the
bond section OF the War Department was at least ind-
reotly urging owners TO sell their bonds TO the bond
house mentioned in the pamphlet
Not only would this be against all policies of the
Treasury Department regarding The keeping bonds but
It would what far worse the use OF govern
ment department and government channels to boost
private business house.
IL is remembered in this connection that it was secre-
ary Baker who refused to allow the solicitation OF funds
for the recent salvation Army drive in his department
although every other government department wide
open to the members of this organization which done
so much for the American army in France
