Had a Hard Fall

Curtis Bailey had a narrow escape
Tuesday morning. He went up on
the roof of the school house to put
up the flag in observance of Armis-
tice Day. He slipped on the frosty
shingles and slid over the edge of
the roof. His fall was checked by
the electric light wires. otherwise
he would likely have been killed, as
he fell from a place on the roof dir
ectly in line with the cement walk.
The wires bounced him to one side
and he landed just at the edge of
the walk.

Memory

remember, ! remember
The days that used to be
When porterhouse was eighteen
cents
And soup bones given free;
When milk was five cents by the
quart,
And butter twenty-four,
And bacon fifteen cents pound
In those brave days Of yore.
remember, l remember
When one could hire maid
For three or four or five week,
And when she came, she stayed;
But now they are naughty clan
Who cost you eight or nine,
Who come to you at ten o'clock
And then at noon-resjgn.
| remember, I remember
When gentle working men
Would come whene'er you asked
them to,
For life was simpler then;
But now, although your pipes are
burst,
And troubles leave you vexed,
You cannot get bit of help
Until week after next.
| remember, remember
(Oh, why must visions fade)
When there was sugar sold to all
And coal men sought your trade;
But now the times are altered,
And there is little joy
In thinking of how cheap things
were
When | was but a boy! Selected

Hayseed, OR Plutocrat

The following article was clipped
from one of our exchanges:
Not so many years ago the term
.'hayseed" was jocularly applied to
the American farmer.
And the farmer didn't resent it
because he couldn't.
He lived from hand to mouth, and
often there was but little left by
the time it reached the mouth.
But now?
Say, just watch the old boys
smoke!
There are no plasters on his farm.
He IS out of debt. with a COM
Portable surplus stored away.
His stock is fat and of the best
grade.
His acres are teeming with the
products of the sol and the result
of his fertile brain.
He comes to town IN his auto
mobile, smokes the best cigars, anc
his family has college education
and buys the best of clothes.
Once he went into the bank with
his hat in his hand. Now he own:
it's stock, is director, or perhap!
the president.
In other days he asked favors
Now he issues orders.
A hayseed? Well. hardly.
A plutocrat? You bet!

Canadian Settlement Scheme

The soldier-settlement scheme in
Canada provides for giving toEeach
returned Canadian soldier a farm
of 100 acres in the "bush country
OF northern Ontario, 10 acres on
each to be cleared and made ready
for the plow at the expense of the
government. In addition to this
gift, material or labor to the value
of $3.50 is donated to each soldier
settler toward getting started on
his land. A loan of $500 is also
made to him, this to go toward the
building Ct his house or for secur-
ing general equipment. This loan
must be paid back, on the amor
tization plan, within 20 years, with
interest at per cent. The settler
can also obtain the use of horse by
paying for his keep, and have the
use of needed tools without charge.
Within five years the settler must
clear an additional 10 acres of land
on his farm 2 acres to be cleared
each year. Whenever the addition
al 10 acres have been cleared and
all Indebtedness to the government
has been repaid the settler obtains
a patent to the land.
A great deal Of work is thus pro.
vided for by the government II

ment so that the settlers coming tc
the colony can obtain work OF this
kind either upon their own land OF
upon that of others. The settler
also has the opportunity to cut anc
sell any pulp wood which may bt

PRICES MOUNTING HIGH
 DESPITE PEACE

PARIS.-Americans arc cheer fully paying the exorbitant prices charged them for necessities in France, while the natives pay ard 'groan, declared an Associated Press correspondent who has been making an Investigation of French high cos. of living. Three American newspaper men recently paid S2 for ! taxicab ride that the taximeter showed should cast about 70 cents. A meal without wine for the three hungry scribes cost $20.
 The following figures show the difference between the prices now prevailing in France and those of the ante-war days.
 Butter S2 a pound against 30 cents before the war, eggs S2 a dozen versus twenty-two cents, and vegetables ranging from fourteen to fifty cents a pound could be ob- tained for four, five and six cents previous to he war. Cheese has ad- vanced from forty cents to ninety, coffee from forty cents to S1.9O. Meat has advanced three hundred per cent; chickens which were sixty cents are now S2 and very slim birds at that.
 The cheapest business suit can not be obtained under $50 to which must be added S1O as a luxury tax. Silk stockings sell for S3 pair and one must be careful to use the subway as much as possible in order not to walk through them on the first day, especially when the : fourteen dollar pair of shoes which one is wearing absorb dampness like a four dollar sponge. Washing comes high with soap at thirty cents cake and bath is luxury.
 Monsieur Jusserand, the French ambassador in Washington, has re- gently returned after a long ab- sence. The collars for which he used to pay thirteen francs the dozen now are thirty-nine francs fifty in the same great shop at which he has been trading twenty years and his sixteen franc hat has mounted to forty.
 Frying S2 steak for two in a s4 saucepan IS privilige enjoyed only by the rich, and glass of beer at twenty cents plus a five cent tip to the waiter tastes very bitter to a thirsty wayfarer.
 The laboring class at one time was eating much rice But lately that commodity reached figures out of proportion to the salaries of the working man.
 Recently Food Minister Boret caused the arrest of speculators who were offering rice for sale at forty cents per pound. It turned out that the rice has been obtained from the food ministry at the legal price of sixteen cents pound. But it had had circuitous journey before reaching the consumer, pass ing through six alleged brokers who in turn levied a percentage on the rice. They were each fined two hundred francs and costs.

The Central Victory Liberty Loar
Committe has requested the names
Of all persons who have refused tc
purchase Victory Bonds and also the
reason for their refusal to do so
This information is now being com
piled by the local Victory Lam
Committee.
The local Victory Loan Commit
tee requests all subscribers for Vic
tory Bonds to call at the banks at
once and make their first paym mt,
as the subscription is not complete
until this is attended 10.
All persons who have not yet
purchased Victory Buds and espcci-
ally those who have refused are re-
quested to do so at once rs the COM
mittee hopes that the list of Names
of those who have refused to par
chase bonds will be comparati:: ely

There is really no good reason,
why anyone should fail to purchase
these bonds. There is no better in
vestment in the bond market tc be
found today in the United Sta 'es.
These bonds pay four and tE"ee
quarters per cent.
The local committee again app als
to the citizens of Alexandria to
come forward and purchase the
bends to their means, as Alexan. ria
has only attained one-half of her
quota and the committee wants tc
make a showing fit for Alexar ia
by going ever the top as she has
done in all previous drives.
According to reports there are
many persons in Alexandria ::ho
have only purchased bonds in
small denominations who colld
have purchased ten times the
amount and the commi zee
hopes that all such persons will come
forward before the close Of the
week and lend their support to the
Victory cause. Surely there is
nothing more commendable. I.@ty
every citizen pull together on this
loan, and when the books are closed
Saturday night and the figures COM
piled Alexandria will not be cla15ed
among the laggards.
