Here's land of plenty they say.
"You, a human being must wander
through it starving, cold and tired
with no place to lay your head. An
alley cat or stray dog is better off
than you are.'' -,--.s.
Few people realize what segrega-
ton of these two or three million idle
men would mean. If there were not
these. hobos swarming in hordes over
the railroads in every section of the
Union, the unemployed permanent resi-
dents of most of the cities and towns
would have less chance of getting po-
sitions. The city man should be thank
full that there are llobos in times when
work is plentiful.
outiook Bad for 1922. !.
The outlook for 1922 is unfavorable,
especially for the winter. With 50
many mines and mills shut down, and
with the harvest season and con-
'struction jobs nearly over, it will not
be long before several hundred thou
sand hobos will again have to 'hit the
road" Most old-timers predict Win
ter that will be worse than last year,
one that brought much suffering. .-
Jails will have to be thrown open
and winter quarters provided as well
az bread lines formed. i
Hobos everywhere advise youngsters
not to try to beat their way anywhere
at present, especially riding blind
baggage" on passenger trains. Mail
guards have shot and killed so many
suspects that it is unsafe.
Besides these hardships, there are
more severe ones that tax a mans en-
durance to the utmost. In some towns
throughout the nation the restaurants
and homes have been pestered so
much by hungry men seeking work
that several men have actually
starved to death in them.-Ted Seel-

which serves only to bring larger num-

coaches.
I Like most other war-affected coun-
tries, Rumania has not enough pas
senger coaches to take care of the
throngs who want to travel. The Ger
mans and Austri..cs confscated most
of the rolling stock. Passengers today
are forced to ride on the roofs, bump

undertrucks Of the coaches. Fist
fights, to say nothing of accidents,
fatal and otherwise, are of frequent
