MINERS IN THE WHEAT
fM:r~oc~o1s. To.lN


British labor leaders charge that immigrant harvest
workers from the British Isles have been imprisoned
and maltreated in Winnipeg. The truth may be ex-
pected to come out ultimately When it does the Cam
adlan people and their officials doubt will be acqut
ted Of some Of the accusations made against them by
their British brothers.
For the present, however, the background Of these
tales appears authentic and interesting. An expert
ment in immigration from the British Isles to Canada is
involved Canada is for British colonists More
over Canadian farmers right suffering from
acute shortage Of harvest labor On the other hand
Britain there is widespread unemployment particularly
among miners, idle because of closed coal mines.
Canada has undertaken it's labor shortage with
help from the British unemployed Ten thousand
miners were sent from Britain and transported the
wheat fields Of western Canada.
Sun-up to sundown labor shocking wheat no doubt is
painful to miners accustomed to an eight-hour day
when they work and to the dole when they
are idle. The wide Canadian horizons with harvest
weather mrages to perplex the eye no doubt Lone
some places for men trained to dig in the confines OF
dark pits underground. Canadian farmers work long
and back-breaking hours for their money. Harvest
labor is expected to do the same
On the whole therefore, it is not surprising that these
British miners have not found everything to their liking
In the Canadian Northwest. However, though friction
undoubtedly has developed Canadians point out that
when the experiment tried before in 1929, 1900
of 1900 immigrant miners learned to like Canada well
enough TO remain.

Twenty-Five "skipjacks" and

Chesapeake Bay and environs which
was made at st. Michaels, Maryland.
The photoplay is the first co-star-
ring vehicle for Fay Wray and Gary
Cooper.
Fully fifty per cent Of the motion
picture shows the activities Of the
oyster boats at work. The two forms
Of fishing, dredging" and "tonging"
are shown.

the screen from the original story,
"Four Brothers," by Tristram Tup-

BABY's TEETH

Baby should be taken to the dem
tist at least once q year, from the
first to about the sixth year, and
after that the dental inspection and
necessary treatment should be given
every six months. The temporary
teeth of the baby should be kept in
as healthy condition as possible to
enable the child to thoroughly chew
his food, to prevent tooth decay, de-
formity of the jaws, and also for
the sake of appearances and to as
sist the baby in learning perfect
speech.
If these first baby teeth are not
properly cared for, the permanent
teeth are liable to come in at bad
angles and bring about deformity
of the jaws which will be hard to
correct. The first twenty baby teeth
should be brushed daily, or wiped
with a cheesecloth or absorbent cot
ton which has been moistened and
dipped in bicarbonate Of soda. The
dentist can, however, by the skillful
use of his instruments, remove pre-
mature decay and make temporary
filings which will preserve the first
teeth long enough for the child to re-
ceive their iull use.
The child's diet during the first
six years is especially important in
the development of the permanent
teeth. Four molars, or back teeth,
appear about the sixth year, and
these are often neglected due to the
fact that the parents think they are
only temporary teeth. These first
molars form the keystone of the den-
tai arch; all other permanent teeth
either grow in front or back Of these
first four molars. If the reader is
over twenty years of age he will
find, if he looks into his mirror,
that either these first back teeth
are entirely missing, or they are we'll
filled with silver or gold Filings. The
average reader can forgive himself
for this, as there was very. little
known on the subject Of dental
prophylaxis when he was a baby. We
now know that if the baby is fed
properly there is no excuse for den
tai decay if the services of the dem
tist are employed at regular inter-
walls, and the teeth kept clean by be-
ing we'll brushed two or three times
daily.
In the past few years we have
gathered together some important
facts as regards the care of the
teeth in both the child and the adult.
Here is q summary of some good
rules for everyone to follow:
Avoid mushy foods.
Use minimum amount of sugars
and starches.
Use carefully balanced diet con-
tanning plenty Of raw vegetables.
Eat coarse foods that scour and
clean the teeth when they are well
chewed.
Masticate all foods thoroughly to
improve digestion and exercise the
teeth.
Brush the teeth vigorously after
every meal to remove decomposing
food particles which may have
lodged between the teeth or in cavi-
ties.
See dentist at least every six
months.
Do not wait for a tooth to ache
before seeing the dentist.
Remember, these are rules for
both the adult and the child. If you
have children, it is YOUR duty to

Washington, Sept. 18.-The time
will soon be here when nearly every
one who wants to vote for Hoover or
Smith must remember the necessity
of registering.
All the states require registration
OF some sort for the sake of protect
ing the purity Of the ballot, although
that is often not required in the
rural districts where registration is
more difficult and there's little
chance of floaters being imported.
Election judges, through the regis
tration system, know when to chal-
lenge doubtful voters and corrupt
machines are otter hindered by the
system in their attempt to steal cleo
tions.
Often citizen is disenfranchised
by the strictness of some state regis
tration laws, if he does no disenfran-
chise himself by bad memory or
neglect. One danger lies in abb
sence Of voters from their own cleo
tion precincts on registration days,
in which case it may become diff
cult or even impossible to obtain a
ballot. Anyone who is in doubt
about registration requirements in
his community should check up with
local officials.
The national standard require
ment for voters is that they be q
years old and citizens of the United
States. The various state laws de-
eide how long a would-be ballot
caster must have resided in state,
county, town or ward. Connecticut
and South Dakota require five years
residence in the United States.
More than two-thirds of the states
require c years residence within
their borders for new voters, but it's
two years in Alabama, Louisiana,
Mississippi, South Carolina and Vir-
ginia, and six months in Idaho, In
DIANA, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan.
Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Hampshire and Oregon. In New
Hampshire only six-months town
residence is asked.
Some states make up their voting
list from the list of poll tax payers
or accept poll tax receipt in lieu of
registration. Those which impose
a poll tax on voters are Arkansas,
Florida, Kentucky in some towns.

while setting down such paragraphs
as these.
For instance:
Just across the street a beggar
crawls on all fours. He has no legs,
and while he could waddle on his
stamps he arouses greater pity and
attracts greater attention by crawl
ing. He is led by a bull pup, which
wears :. iaunty little plug hat. To
its back is attached a leather cup.
On one corner stands a weakened,
shriveled. defeated looking little man.
wearing the battered remnants of a
cast-off straw hat. He carries a
sandwich sign advertising a new
Broadway play. The play is entitled
He Understood Women" You look
at the dilapidated little man and re-
press the desire to laugh in his face.
Maybe it isn't funny at all. Maybe
he did!
One flight up, just across the
street, in blowsy Greek coffee
house, musician is practicing on
what sounds like a flageolet. Or
then, again, it doesn't. Anyway he is
getting ready to make the night hid
eous. His main work will come in
the early hours of the morning when
the coffee club is crowded and the
dancers entertain. But that which
he plays is related to no music we
recognize in this land. It is some
thing between the dervish tunes and
the notes sounded by the meuzzin
standing upon his turret calling the
faithful to prayer. There is some
thing about it that eludes the city,
that flavors of the Orient and the
desert.
just below and around the corner
a fat and shawl-mantled woman
guards her shabby household goods.
She has been tossed bodily out into
the street by a landlord who grew
tired OF waiting for his rent. And
like the faithful dog at the grave of
his master, she refuses to leave.
There she sits, in broken chair sur
veying her pathetic ruins.
All about her the city rushes mad
~. For this is but one block from
the Pennsylvania railroad station,
and the committing mobs all but tum-
BILE her from her chair.
In the street, just beyond her chair,
subway workers heave sections of
railroad ties, concrete mixers churn
and electric drills shoot off their
sparks. A careless worker tosses a
tie on the heap of her pathetic pile
Of belongings. A heated argument
follows.
The man carrying the sign "He
Understood Women" stops and stares
with open mouth. The cripple crawsl
by on all fours and in the window
above, the muezzin of the Greek cof-
fee house plays his endless chant.

Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee.
Texas and Virginia.
Only two states still have prop
erty qualifications for voters: Rhode
Island and South Carolina. In Rhode
Island the voter must have been
taxed on s134 or more for real or
personal property, and in South Car
olina he must have paid tax on an
assessment of $500 or more.
Other states, such as Georgia.
Mississippi and Vermont, demand
that all taxes due shall have been
paid by election time if one is to
vote.
A few states have literacy tests,
and these vary.
Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware
ad Massachusetts require that the
voter be able to read English.
In Maine he must be able to do
that and also to write his name.
New voters in New York must
show that they can both read and
write English. Oregon and South
Carolina voters must be equally pro-
ficient.
In Washington the voter must
both read and speak English.
North Carolina voters must be
able to read and write English, un-
less they were registered in Dccem-
ber, 1908, or are the descendants of
voters who were.
In Wyoming they have to be able
to read the Constitution, unless they
were qualified electors in 1890.
Mississippi voters must be able both
to read and understand the Consti-
tuition.
Connecticut demands good moral
character of its voters, while ouis-

OCEAN SPEED RECORDS
(ColumhuS. Ohio. State Io,1rnal

lOOumDus, Ono, state JOurnal)
All over the world one may find instances Of man S
daring in response to the lure Of speed. On land and
over it, water and it. wherever travels the
lure Of speed is met and respond to it. The spirit
Of the times is for speed, risk all with the hope Of
making record.
On recent trip the Atlantic the Mauretania
broke all records by steamng from New York to Cher
bourg in five days, three hours and minutes
On the return trip the big ship travelled $50 miles in
day whe weather conditions were good and made 624
miles and 63S miles on two other days when weather
conditions reported bad.
Stories have been made public that the big liner plans
to continue her speed efforts with the hope Of clipping
off few more minutes, the crossing possibly
being able to report record for days The
wisdom of such efforts when the liner is crowded with
passengers is open to serious question. Bending all ef
forts to make speed records involves risk and
the ri- is to the passengers. The glory to be won
hardly appears to be adequate compensation for the risk
Probably some man in authority will prevent foolish
cesses in trying to win the speed record Speed is
the only honor of value there is safety and that is far
greater in value than new speed records.

good food?"
Answer: Poppy oil, extracted from
the poppy seed, is popular in parts
of Europe as table oil. 1t is of q

less and has very pleasing flavor.
