hopeless condition-have been made
TO see, to walk, to hear and were
saved from lives of misery and dis
comfort and hopelessness.
Special Aid-crutches for fO46.
One thousand and forty-six othlr
little youngsters have been aided 5y
the Home Society in securing specisl
braces. crutches, employment, legal aid
too numerous to mention in detail.
The aim of the society is to extend it's
aid TO every child in need regardless
of that need-and regardless of the
creed--just as far as it's funds will
permit-and there is no question but
that the Home Society has become the
clearing house for all the troubles of
childhood in the state.
While the Childrens Home Society
is not relief giving agency-that is,
it does not give fuel or grocery orders
---or free school books, clothing, ETC..
to the poor-for that is the special
work Of other agencies-still the So
ciety has felt compelled in the cases
of 5S4 little children to provide food,
clothes, shoes, shelter, fuel, and other
forms of material relief where there
was no other agency to do this ser
vice-and where the Home Society
felt that the relief must be granted at
once. The Home Society does not be-
lieve In red tape-for Il child is in
need the need must be met The So
ciety does not intend however to be a
relief agency for the entire state, for
that is the duty OF the county commits
sioners in each county.
One thousand two hundred and
eighty little ones were cared for, for
widowed mothers through the Chill
dren's Boarding Home of the Society,
and through private boarding homes.
SIS were involved in cases referred to
the Home Society by other social
agencies in and out of the state: 662
others were given temporary aid and
shelter while their mothers were sent
to hospitals for operations and treat
ment; 3e4 were sent to and referred
to special hospitals for feeble minded,
epileptic, crippled and institutions for
delinquent children; 126 were kept
with their own mothers in their own
homes by special funds; 201 delinquent
children were cared for by aid of jul
to maternity hospitals and rescue
homes: "a white children were remov-
ed from coIored homes: 102 abused
children were relieved from abuse and
cruelty by court procedure and other
wise: ISL were referred to special ag-
encies for special care and aid; 81
returned to relatives in other states;
Is children were stopped from immor-
al practices; "a babies were placed in
good homes, together with their young
mothers. Only ten out of the 1890 dieS
this death record being the lowest
of any children's agency in the United
States, the normal death rate being 81
out of 1000 children.
This in brief is the service performed
by the Home Society to and for 1890
little Florida orphan and homeless
youngsters.
This record of service can be con-
tinued only if more funds can be Sc
cured through the October % to 81

Return to Prewar Wage Scales and
Conditions Will Be Vigorously
Fought - Labor Movement
Confronted With Danger.

The United Mine Workers Of Amer
ica will not stand for any reduction
in wages, according to the December
issue of the United Mine Workers
Journal. This policy is stated in con-
nection with a discussion of the
movement among employers through
out the country for a reduction OF
wages in the various industries. In
the article John L. Lewis. internation'
al president of the miners union, is
quoted as follows:
"Under no circumstances will we
permit any reduction in the wages OF
the mine workers of the country.
There is not going to be any return
to prewar wage conditions. Any re-
duction in wages is an economic mis-
take. 1t never produces any good re-
suit. What the mine workers have
today we are going to hold, and we
propose to continue to make progress
instead of going backward"
ut is well known that there is In
the country today a well-defined, high
ly financed and ably conducted move
ment on the part of employers op-
posed to trade unionism to break down
the unions and reduce the workers TO
the openshop, low wage system" the
Journal says. "That is one of the
greatest dangers that now confront
the labor movement"

"HoMEsPUN FOLKS"
Producers New Film Play Rivals Homely Works of Poet and
 Artist.

A decade ago there appeared in Golfers Weekly and several other American periodicals and extensive series of drawings of American ru- ral life, by A. B. Frost. So sincere and so true to life were Frost's DOT trayals of American sons of the soil that they carried an irresistible appeal to all who saw them and have been placed beside the poems of James Whitcomb Riley as most truly representative of rustic America. What was accomplished by Riley in verse and Frost with pen and ink has been achieved on celluloid by Thomas H. Ince, in "Homespun Folks" his super special production for Associated Producers, which will be presented at the Regent Theatre Thursday, November II.
 "Homespun Folks" is an epic of rural America, wherein have been artistically combined the wholesome humor and realism of Frost and the poetic charm of Riley. The char acters are real human beings, hu- morous at times, in deadly earnest at others, but always sympathetic and understandable.
 The plot of "Homespun Folks" is substantial and gripping and affords the opportunity for swift, pounding action and situations of tense ex- pectation. The artistic efforts show the marks of careful direction and supervision. ~
 Lloyd Hughes is featured in an all star cast which includes Gladys George, Charles Mailes, Al Filson, George Webb, Edith Yorke, Lydia Knott and other well known players.
 "Homespun Folks" was written by Julien Josephson, directed by John Griffith Wray, photographed by Henry Sharp. and personally super vised by Thomas H. Ince. 1t is said to be one of the artistic tri-

 A day or two should be spent in going over the field, selecting these ears and marking them in some way so that as the corn is gathered these marked ears can be kept separated and stored in special place. When time permits, examine this corn carefully and shell it out for next springs planting.-The Progressive Farmer.
