Now that we have the farmers
pigs all killed off and sailed down,
why not give a little attention to
the horde of cornfeld mechanics
who swarm into our city from every
crossroad in the state to take the
few jobs there are, at wages that
no one but a Scarecrow could eX-

They rattle in here in an old fliv>

our trusty old captains of indus
try who very likely is an enthu-
siaStic worker for the Community
Fund, and with a pay envelope in
his pocket that by every human
right should be in the pocket of an
Indianapolis worker, who has no
opportunity to work. He rattles out
again and back to the sticks, con-
tributing nothing to the welfare of
the community.
There are hundreds of honor
able, worthy Workmen experienced
in every trade walking the streets
Of our city today unable to find en-
ployment, who are loyal citizens of
our city, who pay their taxes here,
who contribute, when possible to do
so, to every worthy cause, and who
spend their money here for the
necessities of life for themselves
and their families. These men
should be given preference here
when jobs are given out by those
who, by reason of the industry of
these same unemployed workers,
have found success and then they
wouldn't have to scratch around in
the parks two or three days a week
in order to obtain basket Of crys-
tallized groceries.

WHO'LL BUILD THE HOMES

Unless private builders prepare housing
~ programs and submit them to Washing
ton with applications for federal loans, the
government itself will enter the home build
ing field on it's own hook.
This warning was circulated recently to
real estate men throughout the country by
builder who has been active in midwest hous-
ing development. This builder asserted that
such program by the government would de-
strov many million dollars in equities OF pres
ent home owners increase taxes, and result
in enormous waste and corruption.
That it would seem, puts things squarely
up to the real estate men. The slums must
be replaced and the money must be spent. II
the government is not to do the job, private
initiative must show that it is capable Of ham
ding it-and it must show it pretty quickly.

Notwithstanding sullen and black
faces among the younger men, the
progress of the peterboro through the
Pipestone country had not been again
molested. But one night an old Ojibwa
came to their camp on the Lake Of the
Great Stones, which emptied into the
Sturgeon.
You are going down into the Stur-
geon river country?" he asked, &C.
cepting the tobacco and dish of tea
Jim offered him.
"Yes," replied Jim in Ojibwa, "this
false shaman, Jingwak, has turned the
hunters against US for the pay of
Paradis. We are going to find him
and make him eat his lies"
For a long interval the old man
smoked. his sIit-like eyes on the fire.
Then he said: do not go. He is
waiting for you"
Jim glanced at the interested faces
Of Omar and Esau. Was this man
friendly or spy? he wondered. Il am
glad" he said. Il feared he would
run away"
The old Indian lifted questioning
eyes to the bronzed face of the whise
man. For a space he seemed to meas
ure the metal of the speaker whose
cold gaze met his scrutiny. Then he
quietly said, as he again looked into
the fire: "You will never come back"
Jim studied the wrinkled mask Of
the old Ojibwa, framed in its long
griZzled locks. Had he come to warn
them as friend, or was he seeking to
learn their plans, only TO send the in
formation ahead Of them?
"You have lived through many
SHOWS" he said. Wisdom has come
to you through the years. You know
that Jilgwak is a liar or you would
not sit here and look me in the eye.
This Paradis has filed his tipi with
-four and tea and tobacco. Why7 Be
cause Jingwak keeps the hunters from
trading with the old company. But
this is finished. LeBlond has sent
Paradis far south to the Nipigon'
The old Indian looked up with
puzzled eyes. "You say Paradis has
gone south?'

stiffened in thought as his narrowed
eyes sought his moccasin. Then he
said: He has put a spell upon the
