Don't Like Their Yoke.

The people Of Ireland want indie
pendencc. They have been wanting
independence for many years, but
they have been unable to throw OF
the British yoke,
Now they have a good sized rebel
lion on hand. and are endeavoring
20 make Of themselves a free nation.
They have what they call the Irish
republic. with a president who spends
his time in America soliciting fnan-
cial aid for their cause.
While he is doing this England is
spreading a Gordon Of steel around
the disafected districts and rules
with the bayonet
There was a time when We wore
the British yoke, and were ruled by
British king supported by British
guns, and chafted.
But thanks TO General Washing
ton and a few others we no longer
wear Il.
Now We are great country, be
cause we are not wearing the yoke
Of any other country.
The on Is contented with lis yoke.
Il plods along II never does any
thing but plod and pull heavy burd-
ems for it, master.
But people are not oxen. To them
the yoke is CALLING IL STILES their
pride and creates a spirit Of rebel
lion. and where rebellion existes pro
sperity Is not Of the best.
The trouble with Ireland is that she
sends too many Of her best sons over
here for her own good. But we can
not blame the sons for preferring
American independence TO British
yokedOm.
England ako sends many Of her
best sons ovef>to Us, and they like
Il. They make e>cellent citizens. and
so do the Irish. We welcome them
all. for they help to make Us a big
ger. a better and a greater country.
Hut II all tbe Irish in America were
back on the Emerald Isle, England
might be up against a stiff PROPOSE
ton in crushing out the Irish rebel
hon-mueh sitter than the yoke she
has on her hands today.

Four Hats Year, Cost Totaling $50,

season. is all the average woman
needs.
Statistics show that approxi-
mately 3o.0Oo,ooo women in the
United States spend between $1,000,
100000 and $500. .o00, 900 every year
for hats. That means an average
price of $7.50-which is what 1t
should be.
I. But the fact of the matter is that
more than four hats, many times
four in some cases. 30 to one wom-
an at total price of several hun
dreds of dollars while, at the same
time, another woman wears a $40
hat two or more seasons. Which is
all wrong.
Says $50 Is Enough.
Every resourcefuI woman should
be able to get on with $50 per year
and If she wishes to divide it up into
four equal parts. so much the bet
ter"
1T was pointed out to Mr.. Bode
that one could buy about half a
bunch of flowers with which to trim
hat for $3.50 these days; also that
perfectly plain shape" of fine
straw is priced somewhere round
$50. He mumbled something about
labor conditions and let it go at
that.
A feature of the convention is
the scrap which Is raging between
the jobbers and the members of the
Retail Milliners' Association con-
cerning the four-season-p -per-year
movement.
See Lower Prices.
The Milliners' Association con-
tends that two seasons, added to the
two already long established, would
insure millinery workers steady
employment throughout the year
and so would enable them to work
for lower wages. Indirectly there
fore it would lower prices of hats,
while resulting in just as much
money to everybody all the way
round as now being paid out.
The jobbers apparently do not
think much of the plan. contendins
that sale of $50 is worth more to
the merchant than two at $25.
1t was said today that the most
money ever paid for a hat was
$500. 1t was given to a Fifth ave-
nue. shop, it was said, for a hat
trimmed with diamond-set platinum
buckles.
