BACK PAY

More than 1000 employees Of
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration, who have waited
more than two weeks for their
February and March per cent
pay restoration, will probably re-
ceive checks tomorrow.
In making this announcement,
AAA officials explained that the
reason for the delay is the fact
that the work of making out pay
lists was difficult for such a
large organization, with a con-
stantly shifting personnel.
The per cent restoration for
this and following months is
being paid directly on regular
salary checks, officials added.

stand aside you drunken tramp
and make room for these boys who
want to be waited on" said the
saloon keeper. "Oh just give me
one more drink to quench this
burning thirst" begged an old man
who was leaning against the bar"
Not another drop do you get in
this house, unless you pay for it.
I have no room for old tramps who
have no money. Now, get. What
will you have young gentleman ?"
And he turned to the two boys
who were waiting at the bar
They had ordered their liquor
but before they had tasted it the
old man said, stop boys before
it is too late. 1t is true I have no
money and am nothing but a
drunken tramp but is was not al
ways thus. 1 was once a happy
prosperous business man, with
happy home and a little family,
but drink was my ruin. I am alone
in the world now and will soon be
out of the way. But I want to

MORNING OCTOBER II,

already listed in the army of
drinkers will soon be dead. The
slogan of the saloon is, NEW re-
sruits! New recruits" AS a
hundred thousand men drop out of
the ranks, a hundred thousand new
recruits are made. Never a MAIN
ed or dying man falls out of the
ranks that the saloon is not ready
with a new recruit.
An officer of the Ohio liquor
league says, THE open field for
the creation of the drink appetite
is among boys. After men are
grown and their habits are form
ed, they rarely ever change in this
regand. It will be needfuI, there
fore, that missionary work be done
among the boys, and I make the
suggestion, gentlemen, that nick
els expended in treats to the boys
now will return in dollars to your
tills after the appetite has been
formed. Above all things create
appetites."
Yes, the saloon must have boys,
or it must shut up it's shop. 1t is
a great factory, and unless it can
have two million from each gener-
alton for raw material some OF
these factories will have to close
and the operators be thrown out
upon a cold world and the public
revenue will dwindle. The supply
must be kept up. Friends, viii
you help? Which one of youl
boys shall it be?
