JAIL PRISONERS
HOPE TO OBTAIN
BARRIERS CHAIR

Matters of a tonsorial trend in
The county jail took a decidedly dis
astrous trend yesterday afternoon
when the desk chair which had
been used by the prisoners as a
barber chair collapsed, leaving the
prisoners without equipment where
by they may receive their accus-
toned haircut and shave.
AS result of the sudden COL
lapse of the desk chair the prison.
ers today issue an urgent request
to the outside world that some
person possessing a discarded bar
ber chair, or one for which he has
no further use, turn it over to jail
officials for use by the prisoners.
No equipment other than the
chair is needed by the prisoners,
among whom are a number of COM
petent BARRIERS. These, however,
find themselves considerably hand
icapped by the necessity that Gus
toners in the Jail barber shop sit
on a box, the edge of a bed, a
table, or whatever other spot is

Workers Obtained
For Lettuce Crop

American and Mexican work
men to the number of 81 were put
to work in the lettuce fields yes
terday by j. G.. Rose, special agent
of the United States Department
of Labor, who is spending the win
ter in the valley.
These men were loaded ON trucks
at 6 O'Clock in the morning and
transported to the fields.
Lettuce growers telephoned me
that they needed that number of
men Immediately, said Rose, and
within a short time the men were
on thei rway. Apparently there is
slight increase in the demand for
labor of this type. The rains have
made matters somewhat better
here. 1t is too soon to be certain,
however, that things are actually
on the mend for those who need

A Pressing Problem
And there, in the vernacular
of T1llie the Toiler, you have
one Of our most pressing and
peevish industrial problems.
How do wives stack up as
workers in 1890?
Put sentiment aside. Con.
slider wives simply as workers
who are performing certain ser.
vices in return for certain com.
pensation-what do you think
of their performance? How
does it compare with the per.
formance Of the average stenog
or clerk, woman doctor or law
yer? Are they intelligent, eff,
cient, conscientious, up-to-date?
Or are they stupid. wasteful,
unframed and incompetent?
Are wives the worlds worst
workerS-or the best?
