Mr.. and Mrs. George Frank
lin Take Deserted
Little Boy !.

"Billy Foss", the small boy aban-
doncd at the St. Johnsbury House
two weeks ago, has found i ANEW
home. Mr. and Mrs. George Franklin
Of Cary Place have taken the little
waif. Scores of people have been ia
tercsted in the pretty darkeyed baby
deserted by his parents and many
offers Of adoption were received. In
the meantime Landlord and Mrs, H.
f. Moore were becoming more and
more devoted to the child, but really
cd that life in Il busy hotel presented
difficulties in keeping him indefinitely
Officers after ten days search
have been unable to get any clue to
W. H. Wheeler and wife, parents of
the boy, who brought him there and
left for parts unknown.
Billy was happy at the st. Johns
bury House and the parting yesterday
with Mr.. and Mrs. Moore, whom he
called from the first "daddy" and
"mamma' was Il real hcartache for
all concerned.
This morning Mrs. Moore received
Il letter from Billy's grandmother,
Mrs. Wilson Landbrcc of Bucklicld,
Me. She wrote that she was the
mother of Mrs. Wheeler and had read
in the papers of her grandson's de
scrtion. She regretted the act and
said she hoped her daughter and
husband would he found and properly
punished. Billy, she wrote, was two.
years old last December q. She was
IN invalid and unable to care for her
,randchild and was glad he had fallen
INTO kind hands.

ADAM AND EVE

New England seed and farm nipple
ment dealers say farmers are turning
today from the vegetable raising to
grain, due to the acute labor situa-
ton Grain crops can be handled with
machinery while garden produce re-
quires much hand labor :
In the south large part of the cot
ton crop went unpicked for lack of
labor, and sawmills report a 20 per
cent shortage of help. Farmers in the
west tell the same story and exper-
fenced help in western metal mines is
becoming scarcer and scarcer and eff
cheney per man has greatly decreased
In other words common labor, the
labor that does the bulk of the real
hard work of the nation, and espec-
tally the work that tends to reduce
the cost of living, has almost reached
the zero point in this country.
The world today is exactly the
same as in the days of Adam and
Eve, and the problems of the people
are the same.they must live and
they eat
In the old days If the food supply
got short Adam and Eve simply had
to work harder and produce more or
starve. The world is facing this age
old problem today Never before was
the country so prosperous and never
before was the outlook so bright for
industrial expansion and activity, but
over these bright prospects is passing
the foreboding cloud of curtailed pro-
duction per man power and reduc-
ed farm acreage
Powerful organizations can shorten
the working day, curtai1 production
and increase wages to the breaking
point, but this program will not feed
a hungry world.
Instead of lowered cost of living we
Will see it increase under reduced
acreage and diminished production
Our problem is the same as that of
| Adam and Eve, we must produce or
we must Starve.

Counterfeit" her picture at the

Bergere has crowded into the film
practically all the elements that be-

There is well-developed action
leading easily into climaxes that pro-
duce the requisite thrill, more or less
mystery envelopes the story, the love
interest is well sustained and Miss
Ferguson is given the opportunity
to wear some stunning gowns.
The picture has been fashioned
adroitly to fit the capabilities of the
star. The same atmosphere of
high-bred "class" that pervades all
the Ferguson films is again appar-
ent.
Charlie Chaplin in 'The Vaga-
