There isn't a man living on my

CAN WE HELP?

The Journal greatly regrets the controversy
between the commercial printing employers and
their employees. This paper is unaffected as we do
not operate job office.
We are unfamiliar with the exact details of the
controversy at this time. We therefore are in no
position to express any opinion.
If the good offices of the Journal can be
of any avail in restoring harmony, we will be de-
lighted Being engaged in a kindred business the

POEMS YOU SHOULD KNOW
BEN JONSoN'S IDEAL.

Still to be neat, still to be drest,
AS you We're going to feast;
Still to be powdered, still perfum'd:
Lady, it is to be presumed.
Though arts hid causes are not found,
All is not sweet, all is not sound.
Give me look, give me a face
That makes simplicity grace
Robes loosely flowing hair as free
Such sweet neglect more taketh me
Than all the adulteries of art
They strike mine eyes, but not my heart.

VERSE OF TODAY
LITTLE THINGS.

IT'S just the little things of life
THAT make the day a glad song-or,
Just strife;
The little things we cannot understand
Forgotten kindly word or touch on hand
That leave the hurt;
The parting word that might have been
A shade the softer;
The parting glance that might have left
Just love and laughter
But did not. So
It's just the little things of life
That make the day a glad song-or
just strife.

It's pleasant TO be living when
springtime has the floor. and ma

the red ones their lays triumphant

who can't enjoy the spring. It's
pleasant to be tramping along the
dewey void, at early morning,
the beauties manifold
Oh, there are times and seasons
when woes my soul exhaust, and

winds are shaking the chimney

HAVE ADDED $4,000 MORE
Hospitai Canvass In County Is Maxi
iny HeaAway

Incomplete returns from last
weeks hospital canvass shows the
total additional subscription Of ap-
proximately $4,000. Added to for
mer subscriptions and donations
makes a grand total Of approximate
" $4,000. The county canvass Is
still incomplete. Rain interfered
with the last day Of the solicitors
work on last weeks drive. The cap
tains Of each district met with the
directors last evening, and unani-
mously decided to continue the
canvass indefinitely. 1t is believed
that thorough canvass of the coun-
ty will bring the total subscriptions
up to $4,000, which Is the estimat-
ed amount needed to build and equip
the hospital. No future date will be
set for future drives as each cap
tain and his assistants will go at
times most convenient to them.
Everyone connected with the work
feels encouraged over the splendid
results obtained, and there Is no
longer any doubt about the success
of the Memorial hospital project.

ABILENE POPULATION is 1877
CITY Assessors Make Unofficial Re-
port on People

The city assessors have completed
their work and have turned In thelr
books. These have not been check
ed up officially but the population
as given out by the assessors Is g.
SIT. Last year it was 5,O27.
"While it looks as though the
population had increased" said q.
w. Steyer, assessor for the Third
and Fourth wards, "there are many
places where last year were several
| families or roomers but which now
have only the family owning the
house. Many temporary residents
have moved out"
1t may be that some residents
have been missed and the lists may
be corrected later. The federal cen
sus was approximately the same as
the present figure.
Most of the smaller towns OF the
county and the townships show LITTLE
change from last year. Heringtor
lost 600.
Unless the Abilene population
reaches 5000 the commissioners
salaries will be reduced to $500 fol
mayor and $3.50 each for commits
sioners from March 1. The previous
wear it was $500 and $500 respec
