difference lies in the fact that the
House, at the Governors request, has
created a commission of three to pre-
pare the budget, while the Senate has
reported the bill out Of committee
with a commission of seven. The Gov
ernor's recommendation, as carried
out in the House measure, creates
commission composed of the Governor
the Highway Commissioner and the
Attorney-General. We in the Senate
feel that we would be more apt to
get fair distribution Of the money
throughout the state by a commission
of seven composed of a member ap-
pointed from each commissioners dis
trict in the state. Whichever commits
sion is decided upon will merely have
the arranging of the budget and the
commissioner will carry out the work.

the House. and has passed two read

that people feel the need of mutual

distinctly understood that the old line
companies are backed by great
many millions of dollars which prac-

all losses. while mutual and recipro-

to a certain extent guarantee one

IN DEFENSE OF THE FARMERS
Statement That Asriculturists Turn

A statement that the farmers of
as result of the World war and now
turn their backs on ex-service men
has been challenged by numerous
writer's.
The following is a good statement
of the farmers case as one CORE
spondent outlines it:
"Sixty years of my life had rolled
away when this country entered the
war. l had four boys and they GER
tainly all wore breeches, but none of
them claimed exemption. Three of
them enlisted shortly after war was
declared. The youngest was a boy Of
eighteen. Myself, one of the boys,
and my sixteen-year-old daughter
were left to conduct a farm Of more
than 300 acres, and we had to work
from 16 to 1s hours every day. If we
hired any help we had to pay muni-
tion plant wages for an eight-hour
day, and If we had any surplus cash,
the Y. M. c. A., the Red Crohs, Jew

and other meritorious war agencies

$4,000 Cared For.
Since June over 10000 travellers have
been cared for $4,000 yearly arrive at
the Union station needing advice and
help. Some of these can be sent on with
word, but most of them demand hours
of personal supervision, looking up
friends. finding addresses, etc.
For this vast amount of work and
effort the Travellers Aid has been able
ton thus necessitating hours of
overwork and overtime daily.
Mrs. Van Ripper maintains that this
cannot go on, with the ever-increas-
ing number of travellers needing help.
The minimum that can do the work

mated at $3.50 4 month, or $4,000 a
year. Besides this, Mrs. Van Ripper
has found that the time has come
when the work demands an Office. Up
to this time she has spent at least
twelve hours daily in her own home
doing clerical work. The least that a
small office could be maintained on is
figured at $1,000 yearly. Total,
$4,000.

you should be expected to have
more children when your hands are
already SO full and your pocket
book so strained. Perhaps you can
get your family physician to talk to
your husband and try to convince
him that another child would over
tax your strength.
l think you should find a way to
get out more. Probably you think
you cannot afford to hire some one
to stay with your children. You
can find a way if you make your
husband go without certain things
he likes to eat. You need. not tell
him that you are saving from the
table. There are many things you
could do which he would not even
notice, which would enable you to
get some one to stay with the chill
dren while you go away for brief
periods of recreation. Since you
want to go to church, you ought to
make every effort to do so. You
might be able to wheedle your hus-
band into watching the children on
Sunday morning if he does not do it
at any other time. At church you
will meet people and get new ideas.
Try to manage your work so that
you will be master of it and it will
not master you. You seem to be
taking life very seriously. If you
could only pretend that work is
play you would get far less tired
and be much happier.
