COLORS.
Co1ors are wat keeps things from
all looking the same on the outside.
The way to make a color is by mix
ing 2 other colors, the cheef thing
being to know witch to mix.
A good way to give variety to
mee1 is by eating different colored
things For instants good meel is as
follows: red ketchip, wife potatoes,
brown meet, yellow butter and black
pepper. Another good meel is wife
horse reddish, green pickles, pink
meet, brown mustard, blue plums and
yello ice cream.
Peoples hair is different color
from the rest of them to keep them
from looking monotoniss. but each
persins hair is genrelly all the same
color insted of being 2 colors like red
and black to keep them from looking
too assorted. Dogs hair is often 2
colors in case of spots.
Wen a lady thinks she has the rong
color hair she is libel to die it the OPP
posite color thinking maybe people
won't notice it. ony they do jest the
same on account of so meny of them
having saw her the day before.
One of the most conspicuous colors
Is >red. The diffrents between most
people and most bulls is that most
bulls get mad if you go up and wave
red rag in frunt of their face, vile
most people would get mad If you
went up and waved eny color rag in
frunt of their face. Meny ladies like
the genreI color of red and go GROUND
with red dresses on, proving its a good
thing bulls are scarce.

LET'S BE BRAVE.


Let's be brave when the laughter dies
And the tears come into our troubled eyes.
Let's cling to the faith and the old belief
When the skies grow gray with the clouds
of grief,
Let's bear the sorrow and hurt and pain
And wait till the laughter comes again.
Let's be brave when the trials come
And our hearts are sad and our lips are
dumb,
Let's strengthen ourselves in the times Of
test
By whispering softly that God knows best,
Let us still believe, tho we cannot know,
We shall learn sometime it 10 better so.
Let's be brave when the joy departs
Till peace shall come to our troubled
hearts,
For the tears must fail and the rain come
And each brow b., pressed. to the thorny
CROWN
Yet after the dark shall the sun arise,
SO let's be brave when the laughter dies.

THE WAGE PROBLEM.

One of The State Journals subscrib-
ers sends in the following request:
\ Kindly let us have your answer
thru the columns of your valuable
journal, to the following: If the
average of a first class mechanic
was $3.50 per day of ten hours in
1914, what would be proportional
wage. giving every advantage to the
wage Garner, based on the cost or
the various commodities in every
day use in the home at this time?
There are so many difficulties in
the way of making an answer to this
question that would be generally ac-
ceptable that nothing more than a
discussion of the subject can be at
tempted.
In the first place it may be pointed
out that justice seems to demand that
wages today should bear the same re-
lation to living costs that they did In
1914. But here somebody may say
vanced in the past seven years and
that this fact should be taken into ae-
count.
Again, the cost of living varies In
different localities. Besides .statisti-
cinns differ regarding the Advances
that living costs made in reaching the
peak, and the extent of the drop that
has taken place. y
Let us suppose. however, that the
cost OF living now is so per cent high
er than 1t was in 1914. Then it would
appear that the man who received IS
cents an hour IN that year should be
paid between so and SIS cents an hour
at this time. But this does not take
into consideration increased taxes OF
the additional fact that few workers
now are employed ten hours a day
Working. therefore, on an hourly basis

A New York importing concern IS
pushing a claim against the federal
government for losses sustained on
5000 tons of sugar bought in Argen-
tina about a year ago. 1t is claimed
that the purchase was made at the
direction of the department of justice
The sugar cost 81 cents a pound, but
by the time it had reached the United
States sugar was selling at 575 cents.
The loss on the shipment was about
$1,600,o00. Probably the word sug-
sestion should be substituted for "di-
rection." But the case is but one of
many disastrous deals resulting from
the governments meddling in business
affairs. The consumers thruout the
country are morally entitled to re-
cover for being buncoed in the sugar
game.

and at an ihcrease warranted by the
enhanced cost of living the first class
mechanic" referred to in the query
still would find himself more poorly
paid than he was in 1914.
The whole wage problem is too COM
plicated to beisettled offhand. It must
adjust itself finally by the law of sup
ply and demand. No employer can
pay more than success in BUSINESS
warrants. Workers spurred by SEEM
ing necessity might try to make hin,
do so. but ultimately they would find
the works closed. When there are
more workers than jobs the wage
problem is easy for the employer:
when there are more jobs than work
ers it becomes easy for the employe.
The latter phase of the question was
illustrated during the war.
