the help comfortable. Mrs / d. DAVIS
bad found the greatest trouble With the
hired glTl E4s, her habit os running Oh
and getting married. The young man
sas her greatest trouble. She always
kept neE girls until they got married.
Let the girl DC things her way. even
though she does pat the plates upside
down ia the rack, 80 long as they are
washed clean; treat them kindly. she
never had any trouble.
III. 4. Preston MAS the next 20 speak
lie said, by treating the hired help
Well ana giying them time, no trouble
would arise from the laborer.
Gee Edison thought the best man
the cheapest. Get the good viii of the
laborer. Mr.. Edison had found the
eight and nine hour plan was the ruin
OF the country. IL was getting harder
continually 10 hire good men. The
farmer or gardener who did things IN a
large way with one good man at the
mead, j. the best way 10 manage. The
secretary said the shorter days labor of
the Cities was continually drawing all
the best help from the country, We mad
the tramps.
Warner Willard said: There was no
mistake about the situation; we ought
ID shut down on the long day. We
would get as much money, because
slops would sell for higher price.

Your system IN the country would not
nrK. IL a man comes to you and
says" | cal earn YOU so much a
month, . agree u pay him; try him but
don't beat him down first, and try him
at a reduced figure. Rev. John Sailor
said, farming don't pay, that IS ordinary
farming; tne intensive system must be
practiced. Many spoke or the reduced
hours Of /,bor on IN farm, (for the
hired man this ma ie Il s.ll harder for
the grower, there TIs vast ifference
IN the worth OF men. Thos. Wilde
said: nan should be an elastic man
% do the work on farm. He once
kept man IA slow man for 20 years,
he never had q man ne liked better,
ne also had quick man and used him
10 good advantage At some things.
Mr.. Wilde was like Mrs. Davis, he
kept his men until they got married,
and some of them for years after. Mr..
Garfield said It was duty to each one
of us TO do all We could for our en-
ptoyes. John Porter, of Wyoming
township. had said the hired giri was
the capitalist of the family; he had
borrowed her wages, and invested the
amounts for her, and now owes her over
$1,000. Mr.. Garneld wanted the society
TO make note OF this, and thought the
plan good. The s-hour system was
touched upon for the country. Frank
Richardson thought the nine hour
system would not work, but tes-
tlnonv from others thought the
contrary. Working sixteen hours
day and only just making living was
like the boy VINO cOmbed his hair once
a month, and sand il that was such tor
ture, he could not live If he combed it
every day. W. y. Cook said We must
reckon the hours OF Years labor. Me-
chanics went TO work at the tap of the
DELL IN the city when 1t was yet dark IN
the morning, and lsbored one
hour by gas light in the fac
tory at night. The farmer work
ed very short hours in the winter
Mr.. Garfield called attention to the fact
that good employe made good en-
plOyer n after years, in many cases.
John Graham worked from twelve to
sixteen hours a day. He would be glad
10 see a universal improvement. There
was no mistake about the day being too
long. Mrs. J. r. Edison spoke in favor
of the elght-hour system.
4 hearty vote of thanks was rendered
Mr. and Mrs. Smith for the hospitalIties
Of the day, and the ASSOCIATION adj
l0urned to meet at Paris Grange Hail
on the fourth Tuesday in May.
