This is proved by advertisements seeking girls for housework. Not- - withstanding that there is less de- mand for girls in stores and factor- fes, they are not rushing to the kit- chen. The situation may be a puzzle, but at the same time it is clearly a condition. Good wages and good 'meals and the other accommodations . that go with the service do not ap- Peal to the extent of making the .. #upply equal to the demand, There seems to be but one rem- ody, and that lies in doing without the assistance of the maid. It is true, , that many families for- merly acchstomed to keep help have | accepted the alternative. This has been made more readily possible by the introduction of appliances which lessen the need of doing by manual labor the more unpleasant work ab- out the Nouse. Yet if a woman without training is seeking that w the greatest financial returns, special 1 offers house- | work promises probably greater in- { come than anything else in which she {can engage~ Why, then --do-so many avoid it? It fs honorable, as is any form of necessary work. Yet it is con sidered servile, Therein lies the re- luctance to engage in it. However, it is not really servile unless ft is mads 60, and that depends on the attitude both of the employee and the em- ployer. Some college grls, partly as a lark and partly to earn something to give them« a bit more spending money, waited on table at a resort hotel this summer. They took the matter phil- | osophically when they were rudely reproved by guests who had not the education or breeding that the girls themselves possessed. They say they would not wish to be waitresses as a profession, though they enjoyed the experience, Perhap girls of less for like reasons, They will not yield { to what they esteem servility. | "OODLIN'S" THE FRIEND, NOT | SHORT." In a labored and involved editorial i cn Saturday the Standard under- | took--with i's usual failure--to be rate the Whig for a reference this! paper made to the farmers' party. It opened wide the floodgates of its sympathy and 'poured out dts tears | because, forsooth, the Whig haa | dared ito criticize the new party as class legislation and had referred to | the movement as "dlass turmoil." It praised the farmers' party in mo un- stinted way and assured them tha: "Codlin's your friend, not Short." Codlin speaks the word of praise-- with his'tongue in his cheek. Codlin | would fain warn them against the | wiles of the treacherous Short. But Codlin is 'true to his character, to- day as yesterday, After dilating upon | the excellencies of the farmers' party, our contemporary turns right around and declares that it must cp- pose them. Why? Because it is un- alterably wedded to the Tory party. It is going to support 'that party through thick and thin, right or wrong, through good repute and bad repute. There's independence for you! There's the stand that "he pub- lic will appreciate! There's the fear- less newspaper with a mind of its own! Step right up, gentlemen, and see it--the only fair, courageous, in- dependent journal that ever ®Xistod. I® can praise and oppose all ¥1 the one breath; it can to-day wi o for Caesar slain and to-morrow lead that some one vote a monument to Brutus, The Whig holds that the policy ad- vocated by the Farmers' party would result in turmoil. Its platform is virtually a free trade platform. The western farmers and their supporters demand free trade, though dn the east few famers are to be found who do not favor. protection or at least a tariff for revenje. Their plat- form calls for acceptance by parlia- ment of the Reciprocity Agreement of 1911; that all foodstuffs not in- oluded in this agreement should be placed on the free lst; that agricul- tural implemen's, vehicles, lumber, cement, fuel, oil, etc,, all raw mater jals and machinery used in their manufacture, be also placed on the free list. The farmers of the eas. are mot enamored of this pro- gramme; they realize that a tarif must be maintained to protect this country from becoming the dumping ground for American goods amd to afford sufficient revenue to meet our heavy obligations. To adopt {free trade to-ddy would not only cause turmoil; #t would cause disaster, rapid and irretrievable. The Farmers' movement is class legislation. Attempts to broaden it out, such as those made by Premier Drury, were frowged upon by the leaders of the co-operatice move- ment within the party. This was the cause, without doubt, of Dr. Michael Clark's resignation from the party. He distinc'ly characterizes it as class legislation, and refuses to be further identified with it. "Class conscious ness," he says, 'is none the less class selfishness and therefore doom- ed to die, because it suddenly ap- pears in farmers' and labor Ppartiss." But such movements rise and ge. cline. If they are worthy, they re- main; it unworthy, they fall by the wayside. The Whig does not be- Heve that the hard-headed farmer of the east, who is as well read on the questions of the day as any other man, will stand 'for. free trade, He will probably demand a revision, a broadening out{"of both the party and its policy. In the meantime, however, the people of Frontenac are not Hkely to mistake the Standard's will-o'-the. wisp for some guiding pillar of fire. They will learn--if in fact they have not already learned--that it can blow both hot and cold. It can laud with lavish praise the farmers and their party, can smile sweetly upon them, while aM the time work- ing against them, They can appraise for its true worth the hypocritical policy of "Codlin's your friend, not Short." {jugs of milk, when water's what I } | brow with water, ere I dine, and you | { world is full, and fakers smirk and | laugh; they sell us shoddy rags for 0 | education may not take to housework | | this advice; the same man shouldn't | have a chance to sting the voter THE Walt Mason THE POET PHILOSOPHER .

Now, can any of you tell me who this was?" There was a breathless silence followed by a vigorous cracking of thumbs, and then from a dozen sym- pathetic little genuises came the cho- rus, 'Please, sir, it was the fatted calf."

All curves are dangerous whether | they are the kind that fill the hospi- tals with motorists or the kind that cause so much eye-strain, Food for thought is not the kind of diet that makes a man a fat head. When a dancer tells her partner to watch his step it is only a polite way of saying "For the love of Mike, keep off my corns." It's a poor rule that made to work your way. We have noticed that when a young man loses his heart ke usually loses his head also. A lot of people who will not listen to reason are all ears when it is Rumor that is doing the talking. Not every man loves books, but have you ever run across one who Was not crazy over the pocket book? Telling the truth to some people is like giving castor oil to some young- sters. It has to be so thoroughly con- cealed they will not know they are getting it. V/e never yet have seen a pretty girl who did not prefer a kissing smack to a fishing smack. A man may be able to love more than one woman, but only a fool will marry more than one at a time. Money is the keystone of a man's friendship. When it drops out just watch his friends drop away.
