The meeting was called to order and the
chairman announced the next topic for
consideration to be ''WOrk and Wages
which was presented by Silas Hopkins Of
East Berkshire, who said in substance.
Work and wages are mutually dependent,
and ont of their relation of dependence
there comes a mutual obligation.
The hired man must be prompt, honest,
faithful, obedicnt, and it is desirable that he
should be intelligent and skillful. The en-
pover ought to treat his help respectfully,
kindly and considerably, and must pay his
help honestly and immediately when his
work Is done.

hope it will be repeated as often rs the
board may meet.
