The nerve center of whatever has
to do with welfare work at the Nc
Cormick plant Of the international
Harvester Company is the club
house
Whoever designed the clubhouse
had a pretty clear understanding of
the needs it was to supply. It is at
once club, library, gymnasium, ly
ceum, theater, chapter-house, ball
room, restaurant (where the men eat
at noon for fifteen cents or less),
schoolhouse, and many other things be-
sides. The charity element has been
so thoroughly eliminated from its
operation that not only the mill en-
ployes have come to look upon it as
their own natural haven, but the
neighborhood people who have moth
ing to do with the works are making
constantly more general use Of it.
A quiet, bearded man who babe us
good night at the mill door was Chris
topher Borg, superintendent Of the
whole big Deering establishment, that
in normal times employs 5000 men.
One morning in October, 1882,
Chris Borg was hired from among
the crowd Of men at the gate Of the
Deering Works as day laborer to
do service by the day with pick and
shovel. He is a whole chapter on
what a man can do for himself in
corporate employ.
1t would take a long time to EMU
merate the things that are done here
and in other plants in the hope Of
lettering conditions and making peo-
pie healthier, happier, and safer.
There are picnics up the lake in the
summer time, rival ball mines and
bowling teams; there are tennis
games, fire drills in all the plants,
and in musical Milwaukee band of
sixty pieces, which plays at the noon
hour. There are physical culture
classes that work for an hour after
closing time. There is a regular sys-
tenn of sick calls. The nurse, Miss
Louise Palmer, who reports at The
plant-surgeon's Office morning, noon,
and night, and at a good many other
times, is eternally on the go through
the neighborhood
It is plain to see, and to feel, as
you touch the personal mechanism Of
the Harvester Company at its va
rious points, that the work that is
being done for the betterment of con-
ditions has the best guarantee of sue
cess, to wit, the appreciation and CO.
operation of everybody all down the
line.

is first choice with Republicans In the
upper peninsula. The delegation TO
the national convention most GER
tainly will not be for Taft. An unin-
structed delegation also is favored.
1t is not hard to assume that the
sentiment OF the financial powers
of the country filters through the
iron and copper country; therefore
considerable weight may be at
tached to the announcement that
the upper peninsula delegation Is
not and will not be for Taft.
AS the story is told here. the
financial world is opposed to Roose-
Welt for his failure to come out with
some word OF encouragement dur
ing the acute stage of the financial
strfngency. Perhaps 1t opposes Mr.
Taft more strenuously on the
ground that he has shown himself
always ready to go little farther
than the president in denouncing the
corporations. Defeat Taft at all haz-
ards. even IL Bryan has to be elected,
is the secret slogan that Is being
whispered.

first. second and third floors OF the

That only 333 Of the S96 members

by the fact that chairmen of CONF

were known, the reason for their un-
ceremonious removal would probably
be that their usefulness was destroyed
because OF some mental worry, bodily
ailment or general indisposition. These
things, as we all know, are the most
fruitful causes OF failure in all walks
OF life. The battle OF Waterloo was
lost because of a headache. In this
quick age our minds must be clear,
