Eut when every time he was knocked

He kept moving Wester and Westcr
However, it fell, as the years rolled
around
A'certa.n attraction the savage man
found
In the blessings of civilization.
His offsprngs played football and
took their degrees
Acquiring all branches of knowledge.
They charlestoned and jazzed with
the calm practiced ease
That is only obtained at college.
And having good manners and snappy
new clothes,
Being husky and healthy and hearty,
At every election they eagerly rose
And came to the aid Of the party
The voices once tuned to the tocsin
Of war

Booze Supply Is
Being Stopped
At Its Base
Squeal Expected When Rich
Cannot Get Regular
Supply

New York-Despite the protests of
Wayne Wheeler and other profession
al drys, District Attorney Buckner
seems to be getting results.
Buckner's plan is to cut off the sup
ply of liquor, thus compelling a strict
observance of the Volstead law or its
repeal. Wheeler and other profession
al drys insist that enforcement"
shall be confined to the hip-pockeU
bootlegger and the casual drinker
thus keeping up constant furore
and agitation and making it much
easier to collect money from churches
and other sources.
The impression prevails that Gen
eral Andrews "means business" and
that the first real attempt to enforce
the Volstead act is being made. This
impression is increased by the fact
that Wheeler and the professionals at
the head of the Anti-Saloon league
have been barred from participation
in any of the federal prohibition bu-
reau's activities.

Education Makes Thinking Possible;
Trained Mind Is Equipped to Think

the right to exact certain compliance
with its demands, then it is also the
right of the state to educate its peo-
pie to the proper understanding of
such demands"
The trade unionist referred to the
adult workers education movement
that is sponsored and developed by
the A. F. of L.
"This education" the A. F. of L.
committee on education reported last
year, "is the witness that the world
of culture and the world of labor that
seemed to be drawing apart in our
rapidly developing industrialism has,
in fact, found a basis of accord.
Because of their reciprocal needs,
they should be joined in common
bond, for no culture which is achiev-
ed without some form of creative
labor is worthy of the name culture.
And no labor which is uninformed on
cultural standards as service or use
or beauty dignifies sustained human
activity. In this linking anew of
labor and learning, labor has disclos-
ed vast new opportunity for crea-
tive participation not only in the
product but in the process of educa-
ton"

New York-'lhe value of any
education lies in it's power to de-
elop thinking, said VIM. Green,
president of the A. F. of L., in
an address before the National
Republican club.
The speaker said his experience has
led him to the conclusion that the
value of education lies in its power
to make people think Fright and hon
estly."
"a mind which has been trained
and cultivated through educational
processes, is better equipped to think
profoundly and search for TRUTH" he
said Academic technical or ,prac-
tical education is of little value un-
less it develops the latent power of
thought and reason"
President Green said there is no
group that stresses the Importance of
education more than the wage-earn-
ing group. He quoted this declara-
tion by the first convention of the
A. F. of L., in 1881:

Friends We Need

The helping hand of friend
extended in times of need and
dig extremity is usually appre-
ciated for the time being, but is
too frequently forgotten when
fortune again smiles upon us
and our troubles or worries are
safely overcome.
'"The butcher, the baker and
the candlestick maker" of New
ark are verify the friends" of
the working man. We mean the
real home merchants, not those
branches of some gigantic
'tcl lin" located here, as in other
cities, ever ready to take your
cash, but seldom willing to ex-
tend credit when misfortune
overtakes you and cash is con-
spicuous by it's obsence.
Take for instance, the time of
the shopmen's strike a couple of
years or so ago, when many OF
the boys we're down to hard pan
at the very beginning. Who
helped them tide over the lean
days from the walk-out until a
happy settlement of the trouble :?
Why it was our really home
merchants-the grocer, the bak-
er, the butcher and others, who
not only extended credit to them
but who also made daily gener-
Gus contributions to the COM
missary department which was
a Godsend to so many.
But now it would seem that
more than a few of those who so
gladly and thankfully benefited
by the unstinted generosity of
these merchants, many of whom
could i'll afford to carry large
accounts on their books, have
forgotten the ''helping hand"
and transferred their cash trade
to those who turned a cold
shoulder on them in times of ad-
versity and nSed.
This is something which con-
Germs us all. 1t should teach a
lesson of reciprocity, a lesson of
"help your neighbour" a lesson
of returning past favors, and
not passing by your real friends
door to save a few paltry pen
nies by trading with a trust"
and chain store concern which
would not turn over it's hand to
help you when you are "up
against it,"
Moral-Don't forget your real
friends, but patronize your
"home" merchants.

New Merchants in this city

aged. They want public meeting
called to protest against the further
use of anthracite substitutes, and are
not nearly so sure that the hard coal
market in this city has been destroy

Apartment and home owners have
joined in the protest. They say drap-
cries, upholsteries, rugs, carpets,
clothing and linens are being ruined
by SCOT, ashes and smoke given off
by soft coal. Some tenants say the
sulphuric atmosphere is turning white
goods to yellowish tinge.

Gov. Smith Says
Higher Awards
For Injuries
Says S25 a Week Is Certainly
Not Too Large a Sum
To Be Paid

Albany, n. Y. = Increased
compensation for injured work
ers was recommended by Gov
ernor Al Smith, in his annual
message.
"Chanoed conditions raise serious
question as to the justice of the pres
ent maximum limit of weekly com
pensation of 500 a week." he said.
"Since that limit was fixed the level
of wages has risen so much that 1t
has brought a far larger number OF
injured employees into the class OF
those who receive something less
than the standard allowance of two
thirds of wages for CONDENSATION than
it can be said it was intended should
he so treated when that limit was set
up. ,,
"Today more than one-third of all
injured employees who are compen-
sated receive less than two-thlrds
wages as a result of this $40 maxi
mum. Bearing in mind that the cost
of living has risen as well as wages,
it is apparent that the existing limit
today results for a large numpef OF
wage earners in a lower degree OF
relief from the financial loss occa-
stoned by accidents than was granted
by the law when that limit was fix
cd.
"An increase of this limit would
seem to be a necessary readjustment
to the change in the economic condl-
ton of wage earners since the $40
maximum was established, SO that
prosperity may not paradoxically in
volve for many employees a lowering
of the proportion of relief in time of
disability by accident afforded by the
compensation law Just how much
the increase should be to make the
proper adjustment is matter of
Judgment. But an increase to at
iesat $25 per week would certainly
not be too much"
