n. Y. GIRLS WILL GET
INSTRUCTIONS IN LOVE

NEW YORK. Aug. 26.-The
theory OF love, courtship and mar
riage, and all the ramifications
OF each as applied to the political
side Of life, will be taught the girls
of the Y. w. c. A. of New York.
Some time ago such a course was
started for members Of they. M.
c. A. Now it is felt that the
young women as well as the men
should be taught how to pHt the
objects of their affections through
the pace.
1t Is hoped that the graduates
Of the mems classes may meet the
successful students of the young
women's class, for both will know
every turning in the road that
leads to q cottage or apartments,
baby carriages and three square
meals a day.

PR|NTERS SEEK
S1.05 AN HOUR
SCALE
Carriers Proposals Are Re-
jected at Stormy Meeting.
Compromise Sought
FRANK McCLOUSKEY,

Having rejected the proposal of
Public Printer George H. Carter for
a sliding wage scale for journeymen
printers at the Government Printing
Office, the committee representing
the employees today prepared to pre-
sent their counterproposaI asking
straight $1.05 per hour wage.
This represents an increase of Is
cents an hour over the present
wage, fixed by Congress during the
past session, and effective since
July /.
The counter plan was formally
adopted last night at a stormy meet
ing of the employees committee with
the standing wage committee of
Columbia Typographical Union, No.
1O1, in Typographical Temple.
1t was charged that Public
Printer George H. Carter has broken
faith with union officials before,
and probably will do so again."
The full committee formally APP
proved the action of the employees
committee in rejecting the Carter
sliding scale wage plan, which was
declared to be contrary to all the
principles of trade unionism.
The Carter plan was submitted in
response to the original proposal
of the employees, which called for
$1.1O wage rate.
Some of the minor provisions of
the Carter plan, however, will be
acceptable, 1t was indicated.
These provisions, it is understood,
relate 70 overtime and night work.
1t is probable that. a Is per cent
extra wage will be agreed upon for
this class of work. I
1t is expected that further con.
cessions will have to be made on
both sides before an agreement can
be reached as to an entirely salts.
factory wage plan. MI
Unless this agreement is effected
before December. the differences be.
tween the public printer and his
employees will be laid before the
Joint Congressional Committee on
Printing. which is the final court
in wage differences affecting the big
printing plant. -

BY GEORGE DURNO,

PLYMOUTH, VT. Aug. pa
flivver caravan, nearly 1000 strong
chugged into Plymouth today and
provided for President Coolidge an
other diversion for his vacation
here.
There were grangers from four
teen States who are touring the
country by motor car, investigating
the agricultural methods of differ.
ent localities. They have been add.
ing constantly to their. numbers
since they left Battle Creek, Mich.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge
held an informal reception, shaking
hands with the entire party.
p The President has been giving
much thought to precisely the same
things the grangers are studying.
He has received numerous sug
gestions for the personnel of he
agricultural fact.finding commission
he announced he would create.
Mr.. Coolidge conferred with his
running mate. General Dawes, on
that subject yesterday. The general
brought first-hand reports from the
West. 1t was believed here that
the President has about decided
upon the make up Of the body.
The sugar tariff is another matter
that is nearing disposal. In the ter.
days that the President has been
here in the home of his father. he
has given much study to the two
reports submitted to him by the
tariff commission.
He probably will be ready to an
nounce revision of the existing
sugar rate some time this week.
That was another matter discussed
with General Dawes,

TlPSY COWS REVEAL USE
STRANGERS MADE OF BARN

NEW SHARON, N. J., Aug. 26.
William Uhilig, a farmer, learned
To-Day In a peculiar way the occupa-
ton OF two strangers who rented
a barn on his property, but who
disappeared when government in
yestigators began to visit the farm.
Uhilig's cows began to, stagger and
q Few could hardly stand when the
farmer went to milk them.
He learned they had been eating
from a heap of fermented mash
that the strangers dumped near the
barn. Prohibition agents, who
looked at the mash, decided It was
the residue from stills that had
been operated in the barn.

A JOKE ON THE POOR

Every week this month The Re-
publican office gives away some cash
just on somebody's lucky guess, and
It carries the happiest joke on the
poo rthat we have seen since the
coming Of the present snow. 1t
doesn't cost anything to guess, and
the total of all cash prizes to be
given away this month is $3.50, so 1t
ought to interest all of the poor and
some of the sporty folks, who don't
need the money.
An amusing angle of the free cash
is that while we are offering this
1920 in small lots, varying from a
few dollars up, the bookkeeper at
the printing office has sent out sew
eral hundred statements of past due
accounts to people, asking them to
pay up or sign interest bearing notes,
and scarcely any of those who state
that they are unable to pay, have
made guesses in the effort to get
some of the money while 1t was
goin.
1t calls to mind the old story that
IL a bank were offering gold coins
at substantial discount, people
with money would hesitate about
buying it, even tho they could ex-
change it at once for goods, or cur
rency at par.
We invite the folks, hwo are broke,
to try for the $32 next week.
