my husband had gone awn undi'i
such circumstances and had ven 1 or
gotten (if.it had not been intended)
to leave me any money.
For the first time in my life I told
my mother a lie.
"John came away in such a hurry
he did not have inuth cash and he
left me a check. 1 will have to wait
until Mr. Hicks comes to cash it. He
will be here soon, 1 think,. Il is the
proper thing; you know, mother dear, to
have these affairs settled i mined lately.
Do you know anything about father's
finances?"
Mother looked at me in utter sur
price. "Why, of course not. tviy dear. At
the beginning of each month your
father always gave me two hundred
dollars for household expenses, and
one hundred for my own use, and he
sent you one hundred dollars wn'-n
you weren't home Someway I had a
feeling that our income was about
six hundred dollars a month. I don't
know why I have this impression be
cause your father never discussed it
with me but he never failed to give
me the allowance the first day of
every month except this month when
he was so ill.
"He seemed rather worried at times,
lately," mother continued, "and I
think I should have asked him about
things, but my dear, he was always
in such great physical pain that I
could not add to it by disturbing his j

FROM 110 class of workers is so much demanded as from
school teachers. They are in fact the foster parents
of the children. Into theirhands are committed the minds
and bodies of the little ones in the formative years of their
lives, and upon them depend to a large extent the future
of the nation.
Teachers watch over and care for children as though
they were their own. They drill and train them for busi
ness and for citizenship, instruct them in manners and
morals and do for them things the parents have not time
to do. They perform their work willingly, conseientiouusly
and unselfishly. -
What do we do for teachers in return? We pay
them less than unskilled laborless than any class of
labor. Other workers are well paid. Other classes have
prospered. But the guardians of American childhood are
paid less than the janitors of the buildings they serve the
1 Dublic in: less than street-sweeners in our citv streets.

underpaid.
Cost of living has advanced over 100 per cent in the
past five years, cutting the buying power of the teacher's
insignificant salaries in two. How can we expect teach
ers to continue at their posts unless these intolerable. con
ditions are remedied?
Simple justice demands that the teachers be given
more adequate pay. To accomplish this, a special school
MftF IHCOrPTinM i electlon has been called for Monday and every citizen with
Ul 11101 Ll I lUll the welfare of the cpmmunity at heart, should make it a
point to vote for the measure authorizing an-increase of
$150 in addition to present yearly salary for each teacher.
This will add 50 cents a day to the pay of each teacher, and
while not sufficient, will help in meeting the increased
cost of existence.

- By Hugh llaillio
Washington, Dec. 4. The attitude
of the administration today with re
gard to the peace treaty is that of
"watchful waiting','.,
Believing that a great popular de
mand for ratification will come from
the country within a few weeks, Pres-t
ident Wilson is keeping "hands off"
the present situation, waiting for this
urge to materialize, according to num
erous indications.
The president' refrained from di
rectly mentioning the treaty in, his
message to congress, it is believed,
with ihe idea that further argumenf
was useless. '
Need to be Kvldont
The need for it, friends of the ad
ministration predict, will steadily be
come more apparent. They are look
ing for events to convince the people
that the treaty is desirable and that
no other means of brining about of
ficial peace will do. The president's
silence, they assert, does not mean
that he has given up the fight or that
he s any less interested in ratifica
tion than when he toured the coun
try appealing for it. That-he is "wrap
ped up in the treaty" was the expres
sion used by some of his advisers In
describing the situation.
Third Term Cheers
Kecommendation of Wilson for B
third term by the state convention at j
Pierre, S. I)., was interpreted by the
president's supporters as endorsement
of the treaty and as an answer to the
arguments of those who claim the
pact is so dead the democrats will
not want to exhume it and meke ,it
an issue in . 192 0.
Opponents of the trenty openly
scoff at the idea that the nation will
demand ratification. They said that
if any wave of popular sentiment for
it were forthcoming it would have
been apparent early in October, just
after Wilson's tour. Many congress
men returning to Washington after
talking to their constituents say there
is practically no interest in the treaty
and that the people are rapidly for
getting it in devoting their attention
to the coal shortage and other press
ing domestic problems.
