Governor Yager Asks Aid in Getting Action on Bill
 Making Appropriation
By Assoclated Press

Washington, March "A picture Of distressing conditions in Porto Rico, resulting from earthquake and epi- demic, was given President Wilson to- day by Governor Wager. who asked the Presidents aid in obtaining action on House bill appropriating sS00.000 for relief work, which has been held up by the Senate owing to the de- mands of the Presidents time. Cover nor Yager submitted his request in a letter
 The earthquake which occurred in the island last October was a real ca lamity of great importance" Governor Yager said. Though the loss of life was comparatively small, only some 11O persons being killed outright, the property loss was enormous. Thou sands of persons were made homeless and thousands were thrown out of en- ployment by the sudden paralysis of commerce and industry. The problem of restoration and reconstruction was acute and the little island is entirely unable to solve 1t without the help of the national government.
 ITO add to the defficulties a great epidemic of influenza swept over the island right on the heels of the earth quake shocks and many thousands of
 
 caused by the seismic tragedy.
 APPEAL FOR HELP
 Under these circumstances the is- land people appealed to Congress for help. A joint resolution was promptly passed by the House of Representatives appropriating sS00,00O to be expended under the direction of the Secretary of War in earthquake relief in Porto Rico, four-fifths of which sum was to be used in repair and reconstruction of the federal buildings which were de- stroyed by the earthquake. This reso- lution failed of passage in the Senate for some reason and as the matter now stands the national government has re- fused to extend any help to the island of Porto Rico in the midst of their great calamities
 T cannot believe that this repre- sents the real feeling of the people or of the government of our great coun- try"
 Governor Yager declared Porto Rico had done fine service to the nation in the war, contributing freely of it's man power and financial resources, and added:
 'T cherish the hope that some way may be found even yet to repair the error which I fear will produce some unhappy effects upon the future feel ings and relations of the people of both the island and the mainland"

than the rest Of us?
No, sir. it's against the constitu-
ton for any class of people to be fav-
ored over another class.
Why should we stand for it? Let's
all strike!
Clear down the line, from presi-
dents of corporations to the janitors
of the dog pounds, let's all strike
strike for our affairs and our fires;
strike for the green graves of our
sires; strike to beat the band, and let
band strike, too.

If the trolley lines are to be tied
up, let's tie up the soda fountains, the
dairies, the blind pigs, the sauer-kraut
orchards, the banks, the restaurants,
the lawn tennis courts, the skin games
and everything else from soup to wal
nuts.
For, by the great hornspoon, one
man is as good as another in this
country ;and blamed sight better, if
it comes to that.
If one class of people won't let the
public ride, then let another class of
people shut off the grub and another
shut off drinks and another shut up
the stores and another shut up the
laundries.
Let everybody shut up!
But maybe that's too much to hope
for. Everybody shut up? Oh, boy!
if only that could be done for just one
hour every million years, what won
derful world this would be!
Imagine ten thousand walking dele
gates of ten thousand unions, includ-
ing the actors union, shutting up for
just one hour! But why think of it?
Earth would be too much like heaven
then.
So what can't be can't be, and the
next best thing is for everybody to
strike.
Let the iceman strike, the sausage
grinders, the potato peelers, editors
and newspaper reporters, preachers,
window washers, moulders and pud-
dlers, tailors and bushlemen, chauf-
fers, hair dressers, bakers, butchers,
poets, street sweepers, BARRIERS, ciga-
rette makers, bankers, chambermaids,
drummers and jazz orchestras.
Let's all strike while the striking is
good!
And then let mother strike. What!
mother? Yes, mother! Pull down
your sleeves, mother, put on your
bonnet and walk out on a strike And
strike good!

MILK SUPPLY STRESSED AT
HOME AGENTS MEETING

The problem of providing an ade-
quate supply of milk on the farm can
be solved through the efforts of the
home demonstration agents, said ]. H.
McClain, dairy specialist from the
department of agriculture, who lee
tured before the women agents who
are assembled at the Louisiana State
University for a four weeks short
course. 1t is the duty of the agents
to make the people realize the need
for milk, he said. The agent should
know why children should have whole
milk, that is, milk with the cream,
three times day. She should advo-
cate the use of butter, cottage cheese
and its by-products only in cases
where an adequate amount of milk is
consumed in fluid form.
The campaign for a wider use of
milk, continued Mr.. McClain, should
start where no cows exist. The goal
should be COW on every farm. The
commercial dairy does not need the
women, but so long as there is lack
of homesupply of milk and butter, it
is the agents job to use her influence
in securing the missing cow. The
agent should not encourage the sale
of few pounds of butter or a gal
lon Of milk, advised Mr.. McClain, as
this often results in the needs of the
family being neglected. High prices
which can be gotten for dairy prod
ucts are temptation to the farmer to
sell all his wholesome food and pro-
vide his family with poor food. The
agent should try to make the farmer
feel that this is a poor investment and
that his own table should be a market
for his milk products.
With a wider usage of milk, con-
cluded Mr.. McCIain, we shall have
better citizenry; we shall have peo-
pie with well-matured bodies and
stronger minds who will be better
able to solve the problems of human
ity.
