THRESHIN1,

VINO remembers that old conun-
drum; Down in the meadow stands
red bull; feed him and feed him
but he never gets full. What is it?
a lhreshing machine, of course.
IN some parts of the country the
wheat has been threshed and is al.
ready on the move, on the way to the
elevators. In other parts it is Just
being cut, and in still others the song
OF the mower, hOrse-pulled or tractor
driven, will soon fill the air.
But in any event comes threshjnp
day. That's when there's business on
the farm for sure. Help comes in
IRON the other farms. The big red
nun comes numbering down the pike
under It's own steam, snorting defiance
tie tears up the road, miros in tbo
mud of the barnyard.
Inc threShor itself is placed. the hip
belt from the engine connected and
al dayllght begins the business of son
arhtlng the wheat from the straw
with golden stream of chat BLOWING
ana covering the barnyard for yards
around.
+ AS me men work they sweat and
/ swear, and laugh and sing. The grain
pours IN glorious rush into the hir
bags, and the straw piles higher and
hlgher IN the stack close TO the harm
And at IL the dinner bell tells IFS
story. And such a rush Did Won

PANHANDL Err S.

Within the last few days several
"panhandlers" have appeared on the
streets of Ottawa. And despite the
fact that all were men Of size ana
apparently in the best of health Ger
tain citizens responded to their re
quests for 'Sbreakfast' or bed mon
ey.
This should not be. There's plenty
of work. In America today, there IS
a class of wandering men, who con
tribute nothing to their support or to
society. They shift their abiding
places with the seasons Their home
is the place they happen to be. They
have no family ties. apparently, and
seek no friendships.
But among them exists certain
freemasonry that carries with it all
Of the appurtenances of fraternalsm.
If a community is hostile toward their
order in some remarkable manner 1t
is made known to all Of its members
II a community tolerates them, this
fact is also spread with equal celer-
ity. TO give aims to men of this class
is to invite repeated solicitations
The fable of the camel in his masters
tent is repeated. And the community
where beggaing is permitted, and the
people in it. are marked as soft spots
along the road for these vagrant tran
sients
There is no need for any man in
good health to beg in Ottawa. EN-
ployment bureaus have not been able
to maintain an equal balance between
supply and demand for labor Many
men who ordinarily would be thank
full to find employment paying them
fifty cents an hour and upward for
common labor have gone to the west
ern harvest fields where wages are
reported to be almost fabulous in
amount.
AS a matter of fact the average
wage for such labor this year is sew
enty cents an hour. Men receive thai
in La Sale county, but distance lends
lure.
The farmers of this district need
men. The industrial plants of Otta-
wa and nearby cities need men Not
specialists but laborers. And yet
men may come into Ottawa and be
supported by charity, when there is
no excuse for it,
TO give to these men encourages
them to prey on society for their live
lihood and checks the industrial
growth Of the city
TO have prosperous community its
inhabitants must be self supporting.
To promote the prosperity of Ottawa
it is up to you to discourage idleness
among those who live here. either
permanently or temporarily But you
can never do it so long as enough of
you hearken to the voice of the pan
handler who because of his former
successes here, believes Ottawa to
be an eleemosynary institution.
The way to cure this evil is thru
the police or employment office. OF,
tawa has both. Use them.
