JUST FOLKS
By EDGAR A. GUEST


THE BUSINESS OF LIFE.
The rain comes down and the wind
blows cold but the men go
trudging by,
For the work Of the world goes right
along regardless Of sun and
sky.
And the business of life must be car
ried on regardless of those
who die.
Sit down at the window pane of life
when the storms begin TO
blow,
And watch the faces Of toilers grim
as they hourly come and go.
They must bear their burdens and
face their tasks in spite Of the
rain or snow.
The captains pilot their ships at sea
and the stokers stoke their
fires,
Though the waves roll high and the
tempest sings a dirge through
the frozen wires.
and I think sometimes that the
stormking laughs in glee at
the man who tires.
Fit for all weathers a man must be,
Who shIinks from. the pelting
rain
And dreams forever of sunny skies.
shall ind he has dreamed in
vain.
For all must trudge through the
storms Of life 10 the goals
that they would attain.
So stand YOU staunch at your post
Of life. keep faith when your
JOYS have gone,
In spite OF the hurt and the waste
and gloom that you wake 70
look upon.
In spite of all that the fates NAV
send. the living must carry
on

WAGE REDUCTIONS.

one Of the surprising features Of the slowing down
Industry the spirit with which labor accepts
wage reduction It was regarded as a foregone
conclusion that workmen would tight every attempt
their pay regardless of the economic situa-
tion. This view is found to be wrong In a large
number OF cases. groups Of employees have
quiesccd with apparent cheerfulness in consider
able reductions.
The most general downward movement Of wages
so far has been in the textile industry. A reduc-
lion Of % II percent was announced on Dec. i.

workers in New England There had been reduc-
uons previously in many Of The mills The workers
naturally do not like it, but they disposed To
make The best Of it rather than strike
The main reason for this philosophic attitude is
that prices Of the 1ecessares of life have
started down IN earnest wholesale reductions are
said to have equaled. passed. the % II percent
wage Retail prices if they have not fallen that
far win soon do so. Thus the employees will find
their wage reduction really no reduction at ALL
cause il will still buy what their highest wages
bought when prices peak. An addi-
uonaI for contentment Is found in the state
ment made by manufacturers of Lowell Mass. that
the average wage OF the mill worker under the new
schedule viii be SCI "a week compared with an
average of $3.50 week in 1919. The reduced wage
will have a higher purchasing value than that of
tho pre-war wage. and the workers will be just

THE NEW CURE.

THE NEW 0lEAE.s
When Doctor Brown, whose practice
lay
Among the very wealthy.
Found out that working hard all

Would make a person healthy.
And read that there was no disease
Among the poor Egyptians
Because they seldom took their ease
And never took prescriptions,
Immediately he evolved
A plan 10 profit by it.
II work cured people. he resolved
To make his patients try il.
A patient who was pursy made
BY too much good and riches.
He handed out a pick and spade
And bade him go dig bitches.
To ladies who had limOUsines
About the town 10 roll in,
He said. GO buy yourself blue jeans
And get the winter coal in
To folks of social standing whom
The season had been hard on.
He said, You're nervous, / presume.
Go out and weed the garden"
The cure no doubt was quite all
right;
All MS IL might have bested.
But on that we have little light
For IL was never tested.
For Doctor Brown. bereft Of pelf,
without an occupation.
Is seeking now 20 find himself
A means TO dodge starvation.
For every dame and every gent.
When told that their condition
Would mend with labor, straight
way went

"Our situation IS comparable 20 the plight in

found that she could continue the pros

Mr.. Hoover issued a warning, however as TO for
