Professor Louis 3. Woodward, as
sistant principal and teacher OF
science in the Gorham State Normal
School, has. suddenly come into no.
tice in literary circles through. a
poem entitled, ''Why I Teach" which
he wrote and sent to the Journal of
National Education Association, in
which it was recently published. The
verses are copied in the Literary
Digest of Dec. 2 with the comment
that Mr.. Woodland answers a question
frequently asked but seldom as
beautifully answered" The poem
will be found in another column Of

The postofIice at Cooper's Mills
must be afflicted with something akin
to wanderlust. An item from that
town states that Postmaster Ellis
has moved into his new building at
the west side of the bridges. This
is the third time the postofIice has
been moved in the last six months.
AS it has vibrated between the east
and west side, it has been ratheS
hard to keep run Of and patrons have
found the task of locating it in
teresting and exciting at times.
Previously, it had been in one build
ing for 25 years. During that time
three different men served as post
masters: the late A. B. Noycs for
eight years. Fl. L. Weeks for 10
years and w. S. Bowden for seven
years.

In 1888, Brunswick town meetings
were held in Lamont Hall, now
Pythian Temple, which was then
the only public hall in the town. If
the meeting ran a little overtime
SO the story goes-the janitor used
to hint that it was time to depart
by sprinkling sawdust on the floor
and vigorously sweeping it up. One
rather irate town father, disturbed
thus in his speechmaking, exclaimed
that he would like to see town hall
built so that meeting could be car
rled on without the citizens present
being swept out. This, it is said,
was the beginning of plans for the
erection of the present very attrac-
tive town hall.

Governor Allen today issued a proc
Iamation asking that kansans join in
memorial services for World war men
who paid the supreme price while
overseas or in this country. The gov
ernor asks that appropriate services
be held in churches and that bells be
tolled from to 8 o'clock of the after
noon of Sunday April and that flags
be displayed at half mast thruout the
day.
The governor in his proclamation
today said:
The American Legion of New York state
requests a proclamation calling attention
to the last shipment OF bodies from over
seas of those American soldiers, sailors,
marines and nurses who paid the supreme
sacrifice of the World War Funeral ser
vices will be held in Brooklyn at two
o'clock, Sunday, April ., 1922
I am glad TO designate this day in Kan
sas to commemorate not only the fifteen
hundred bodies en- route but also those of
the forty-four thousand of their comrades.
many of them Kansas boys, who came be
fore and now lie in the soil of their be-
loved country.
I request appropriate exercises to be
held Sunday afternoon in all the churches
and that bells be tolled at intervals from
p. m. to 8 p. m. and that flags be dis
played at half mast during the entire day.
The profoundest and hOliest emotions of
our nature should tribute on this day to
all those silent heroes whose unselfish and
unheralded devotion to their country 1t is
purpOSed to commemorate.

Burlington who suffered heavy prop

Bankrupt Country Looms jew
ell Tells Rail Labor Board.
Shop Workers Need Wages
liked to Save America.
SAYS DEFICIT is APPALLING
Workers Could Purchase But
64 Per Cent of Food.
Nourishment Would Be Under
mined by Cut, He Declares.

Chicago, March 28.-The business
concern which cannot meet its fixed
charges is bankrupt; failure to pro-
vide a healthful standard of living for
his family-a working mans fixed
charge-means eventually physical
and moral bankruptcy to the nation.
This was the axiom on which b. NJ.
Jewell, head of the shop crafts unions,
based his plea for a living wage for
the nations rail workers today before
the United States railroad labor
board.
Only 81 Per Cent Allowed.
Figures comparing railroad en-
ployes' expenditures for food with
minimum requirements for bare sub
sistence as worked out by Prof. NJ. E.
Jaffa, food specialist of the Univer-
sity of California, showed that rail-
road mechanics in 1921 were able to
purchase but 81 per cent of the meat
fish, milk and eggs necessary for
maintenance of their families at the
lowest level of safety. Mr.. Jewell said
Higher wages, rather than a fur
ther cut, were urged upon the board
by Mr.. Jewell in his fight against the
10 per cent slash proposed by POS
roads now before the board. Wages,
he asserted, were the lifeblood of the
nation and reduction of wages means
reduction of nourishment to the
bodies of citizens.
Living Wage Not Paid.
1.-THE railroad industry does not to-
day pay a living wage to the mechan-
ics employed in it's Shops" said Mr..
Jewell.
THE purchasing power of real rail-
road families was demonstrated by
the analysis of 254 itemized monthly
expense accounts. They are distrib-
uted over the country but in no sense
selected.
.'The average income of these fam
lilies amounted to $1,sS5,5o of which
$40 came from other than railroad
wages being usually secured from
was $1,9S9.64. The income from the
railroad falls short by nearly 5000
year of the actual amount which these
families spent
With prices prevailing during the
year 1921, mechanics in railroad shops
were able to purchase about Sd per
cent of the meat, fish. milk and eggs
necessary to maintain their actual
families at the lowest level of safety,
Mr.. Jewell said.
They were able, he continued, to
purchase only "a per cent of the nee
essary cereal foods, only 81 per cent
of the necessary vegetables and fruits
and only IL per cent of the necessary
butter fats and oils.
Entire Country Deficient.
''The result of such a deficit in terms
of the general physique of the country
and also in terms of the efficient oper-
alton of the railroads is sufficiently
obvious.
IF industry cannot meet its first
fixed charge. the payment of health
full livelihood to its employees, it is in
deed bankrupt" the union leader de-
clared.
Assuming that $50, ,00o of the coun-
try's 100000 railroad shop men. have
families to support, Mr.. Jewell csti-
mated that thei- families suffered a
deficit of 162.OO0,000 pounds of meat,
fish, eggs and milk; 81 $50 pounds of
flour and cereals; 3O.24O.CO0 pounds
of potatoes, vegetables and fruits and
12,960.00O pounds of butter, oil and
fats during the year.

Kansas City Chamber of Com
merce Works for Burlington.
Usage City Joins Other Kansas
Towns in Relief Work.
MUST FEED MORE THAN 100
Business Men Recovering But
Can't Help Citizens.
Liberal Credit Furnished to Put
Town Back on Map.

Burlington, March 2S.-More than
100 persons, mostly laborers and their
families are badly in need of aid as a
result of damage done by the cloud
burst here Thursday night Money
is needed to help the flood victims
repair their houses. replace furniture
destroyed or washed away by the
flood, and make them comfortable.
The laborers whose homes were
wrecked or damaged lived on the
banks of Rock Greek, the stream that
left its banks.
Their houses were completely gutted
and several houses were washed off
the foundations. Chicken houses, coal
sheds and livestock were carried away
by the flood and altho the individual
losses were not great, they we're sus-
tanned by many people whose only
assets were their homes and furniture.
The people are living with neighbors
and are being fed by the Red Cross
They have not asked for outside aid,
but help will be appreciated. The
business men of the town whose store
buildings and stocks were damaged
are being extended liberal credit and
will be overcome but the business men
cannot help the homeless.
It is estimated between $50. 600 and
100000 is needed TO make the flood
victims comfortable.
Kansas City, March 2S.-Members
of the Kansas City Chamber of Com
merce today set about raising a fund
of $4,000, to be used for relief at
Burlington. Kan. where a cloudburst
last Thursday night caused the deaths
of four persons, made many others

The campaign for the fund started

was urgently needed FOR relief work
