morally empty, but empty we shall
not leave. We shall leave 1t full of
character. This life is full of chang

The hopes that look for fulfillment

l plead with you to make this
eternal life your own. So live in this

the heavy cream is much less than

AS to Which Works the Longer
Hours, the Shop laborer who Works
ten Hours per day, or the Farmer?
Clayton Potter's opinion was that
the farmer works much longer as his
hours began when he arises in the
morning and continued till seven p.
M, oftimes later, depending on the
work. Many discussed the subject,
all agreeing that the farmer works
the more hours in a year.

Salary of Circuit Judges.
The judiciary committee Of the
house has made a favorable report or
the bill of Representative Flowers
providing for the payment by the state
of an annual salary OF $4,000 to each
Of the circuit judges of the state.
There has long been feeling that the
present salary of $4,000 is Inadequate
for the services performed. The lat
ter salary is all that majority OF
the circuit judges receive. In Wayne
county this sum is supplemented by
$500 per annum, which is paid by
the county, and In few other coun.
ties additional compensation is also
provided.
1t is proposed 10 supplement the III
creased salary bill with a measure
which will divide the state judicial dis
tricts, each to comprise a number OF
circuits, the Judges Of which can be
shifted from time to time so as to eff
feet an equitable distribution of work
