Eight OF Ten aours.

Many theorists In political economy
have spent much time IN figuring out the
advantages that would come to society
and the individual provided the time of
the legal days work, universally, was
liked at eight. instead OF. as In most
States Ia the case. ten hours. These
theories are many OF them very beautiful.
One OF these which We remember. but are
not able to state its author. was that
every mechanic and factory or mill
operative would be able to own or lease
house having attached con
siderable amount Of land. and
that by work GU this land
night aud morning before factory hours
and after, during the growing season, he
would be able to grow all the vegetables
and garden products needed In his fxmi-
" for the year. Besides. this work out
Of doors would conduce to his health and
by thus being In better health, his DOCTOR
bills would be less and morr money would
be left for the wants Of the family. All
this Is very satisfying, and we do not care

American industrial society really takes
place.
