State Game Warden Baker left
lyeeterday fat MoMianville, after a
'shmvt stay io town. As a result .of
ubs-gno tax, thtra is an abundance
oT funds now for a vigorous enforce

that such a campaign is
'ftrarag provided for. The Times
"mentions the matter here in ordti
"that itfl Teaders may be warned, if
there be any who bave a weakness
for eating chinas before time. -.It is
-known that deputy game wardens
galore will be afield and that those

U. wish to thank all who so kindly
patronized the social Friday eve

other citizens the pust week, leiuces
the debt to $28o. Ooe business man
who is a frequent visitor to the
Heading Room, volunteered to do
'aate' ;o cents a month until the
debt is paid. He is not a wealthy
man and has a family to support
bat be appreciates the value of the
xoom to CorvalHs and vicinity and
is willing to aid the women who
have labored eo untiringly to main

ries of events cf the past week
gathered through interpreter?:
"Where is your father? I haven't
setn him around this weak," re
marked one workmen to his com
panion. - v. , ... .';
'They fired him the other day,"
wai, the reply. "He worked in the
establishment 25 years steady,, but
the boss told him he wasn't moving
around lively enough and told him
logo."
"Why aren't you working?'
teked one Lithuanian of another.
"The boes told me to go home."
"What for?"
"I don't know. He just said,
you get out and go home. . Youv'e
bten tiying to make a strike.' I
don't, know anything about a strike.'
. A workman on tbe machine floor
was overcome with heat and went
home. After four days be wbb able
to reappear at tbe refinery.
"Well, I am here," he said tethe
superintendent.
"Well, what of that," was the
piy-;
"I am able to go work again "
"We don't want you, . get , out.
Another man has taken your place,"
was the brutal ending of tbe con
versation. ;- - - .'.'.-
No man likes to see an unfair
fight. If a lover of fair play wishes
to have his blood boil let him go
over to thetngar refineries and s-e
the one-sided game that the Sugar
Trutt plays with its less than bal -
paid men.
They are not an idle, vicious
class, as a tule. They are just great,
strong, hu:king human anima's,
able to stand prolonged labor un
