SOME REAL WIND.
BY Roy X. MouIton


Several times we have mentioned
the wind that skids around the corner
OF the drive where we, live. We have
just received the following from Capt.
Elihu Bascorub, of Freeport:
You think you know something
about wind, but listen. You amt never
seen real wind. The place TO find it
is up in the Arctic sea. Well, we was
up thar some years ago and was win
tering among the ice packs. Them
foes was just naturally alive with
polar bears. We had some old muzzle-
loadin' guns, but all our powder had
got wet in squall aud we Just had to
set and watch them fine. fat bears walk
up and down and look at us contemptu-
Gus. Well, one day | went out with a
pocket full of bullets and the wind was
BLOWN great guns. l see a fine polar
bear right down the wind from me,
so | takes up a bullet in my thumb
and finger and lets it go. DANCED if
the wind didn't blow so hard that The
bullet went plumb through the bear
and he keeled over. We killed more'n

Memories Of Old DAYS

A severe northeastern blizzard
struck Wayne county and Richmond
about z O'Clock in the evening and
ragged throughout the night. Sleet ac-
companied by high wind and snow
quickly covered the ground and later
in the night when it turned warmer
rain fell in certain parts Of the
county which froze as quickly as
it touched the ground and formed a
glacial surface. No great amount OF
damage was done although the tele-

ed considerable wire trouble.

Unemployment Insurance

Reliable workmen usually do not need unem-
ployment insurance. Such are generally retained
by employers when business is slack in order to
keep an organization intact and ready for re-
sumption when times get better.
Workmen who regularly save part of their
pay do not need such insurance Their savings
are their unemployment insurance and carry
them through any ordinary period of industrial
depression s'>""@<@ .@e ~e.e ..s.r n.
Only the thriftless, excepting of course those
whose savings have been used up on account of
sickness, need unemployment insurance This
class spends all it makes, being composed of in
dlviduals who lack sufficient strength of char
acter to save regularly part of their earnings.
Such individuals and their families suffer varying
degrees of deprivation during periods of unem-

Various European countries have been meet

The funds to meet this expense are raised
annually from three A small amount is
retained each pay day from every workers pay.
6he.employer adds equal amount and so does
the government The amounts contributed by
the government, which administers the total
fund thus raised and pays it out as it is needed
to provide pensions for the unemployed.
OF course, can readily be seen, in the long
run, the unemployed provide their own unem-
ploynent pensions. While at work they con-
tribute their share from their pay. Their
employers contribute an equal amount. The lat
ter enters into cost and is regained in the selling
price of the articles produced. The workers, be-
ing also consumers, help to pay the employers
share. The workers are also taxpayers, either
directly or indirectly, as consumers therefore,
they help provide the share contributed by the
government.
In other words, those who will not directly
provide their and their families future
against unemployment, by saving regularly a
part of their earnings, have it done for them
indirectly and justly at their own expense, under
the plan of government unemployment insurance.
There is manifest injustice in the European
States it, seems likely, unemployment insur-
ance eventually is provided for here to alleviate
the widespread suffering that accompanies in

For one thing, rigidly brought up,
