CLERKS HONOR
ARTHUR LET'S
RECEPTION RENDERED PRO-
PRIETOR OF BROADWAY
1900 EMPLOYEES PAY TRIBUTE TO
HEAD OF CONCERN
Owner of Big Department Store Pre-
scented with Memento of Appre-
citation for His Shorten
Ing of Hours of Work

Fifteen hundred grateful employees of
the Broadway department store assem-
bled in Goldberg Bosley hall last night
to show Arthur Let's their apprecia-
ton for his action in shortening their
working hours. With tears in his eyes
Mr.. Let's thanked the men, women and
children for their demonstration of APP
probation and good will.
Mr.. Let's told his employees of his
own struggles and hardships, of his
fight for success and of his plans for
the future in which they were to share,
one and all, big and small.
Placing his hand on the head of a
little errand girl, he said it was chill
dren in her position, working early and
late, for whom he felt most and he had
determined to use every energy in his
power to make their lives HAPPIER
when was boy he said, II did
not have the opportunities you young
men have. / was born in England,
and my father was a farmer l went
to Canada, where I expected to see
men wearing bear skins, and hostile
Indians. 1t proved to be different. l
worked in a little store late into the
night When / landed in Canada
had only few dollars. | made up my
mind 1 would prove of value to my
employers and to myself. Then I
went to British Columbia, but the OPP
portunities presented in the states
charmed me, and | was irresistibly
drawn to this country. My struggle
was as difficult, if not more so, than
any of you are experiencing. 1t was
in those days that 1 knew of the suf-
ferings of the poor and also of their
privations.
81 learned, however, If I was to sue
coed I must never look at the clock.
Boys, If you have made up your minds
to gain success never let the work
count and forget that clock.
Read the life of James J. Hill, the
greatest railroad man in the world ;
not a railroad manipulation, but a rail-
road man. It was the reading of the
life of that man, of the beginning of
his life's struggle when he was ID
years old on a salary of 81 a week
that influenced me greatly.
"There never was a greater demand
for good, reliable men than there is
today. The stores are hungry for
them, hungry for good men. Boys,
make yourselves good men. It's a
paying proposition"
At the conclusion of his remarks Mr..
Let's and his wife led the grand
march at the head of 500 couples.
At the close of the festivities Mr..
Let's was presented by his employees
with an artistically engraved inscrip-
ton on sheepskin of their thanks, love
and appreciation.

TRIBUTE PAID TO
MEMORY OF BURNS
CLAN CAMERON OBSERVES
POETS BIRTHDAY
In Eloquent Address Chief Meiklejohn
Eulogizes Him as Singer
of Human Ma
ture

At Blanchard hall last evening
large aSsemblage of members of Clan
Cameron and their friends celebrated
the 151st anniversary of the birth of
Robert Burns. Chief NJ C. Meiklejohn
delivered an eloquent address, in
which he referred to the worldwide
nature of the Burns commentators.
Mr.. Meiklejohn spoke of the eTnbar
RAISING and hindering environment
which had been overcome by Burns.
There had been a great deal of talk
about Burns ''infirmity," or his be
setting sim" But Mr.. Meiklejohn con-
fessed he had an admiration for a
strong man with a besetting infirmity,
or even two or three. IT have met a
few men whom 1 knew to be exceptions
to the general rule" he continued,
without guile, without folly and with
out sin! 1 never knew such a man
with whom 1 wanted to travel or to
become particularly intimate" Mr..
Meikletohn referred to Burns as the
singer of the human heart, and said
that was why his poetry appealed to
all human hearts, in all chimes and at
all times.
Songs Sung Everywhere
Everywhere his songs are sung.
Everywhere they have cheered, en-
couraged, l--lped and consoled man
kind, and especially have they been
helpful to men who have had to toll
for their daily bread. All Burns
faults are obliterated by his intense
humanity: and his understanding of
every phase of human nature made
him the truest poet of humanity and
singer of human nature the world has
ever known.

One Of the interesting addresses al
this afternoons session of the Tri-
State convention was that delivered
By J. A, Power, manager of the Hell
Iendale Stock farm Of Power, N. d,
Mr. Powers Instructive address is
given in full below:
I was asked to talk on this subject
by Professor Richards because he be-
iieves we have had some measure OF
success in the work on our farm in
Richland county.
My father bought and opened up the
farm about thirty years ago. He pur-
chased pure bred and high grade short
horn cattle and we have continued
with this breed ever since, through
good times and bad. We winter over,
In cattle stock about ESQ head We
have always used pure bred bulls of
good sizy and quality, also we aim to
keep quite complete records of labor
and feed costs and the results that
will give you i'm this article are ap-
0roximately correct.
Our winter care of stock follows
closely that of most farmers. We put
up about 500 loads OF hly which is fed
TO the cattle only in the barns at night
The labor cost Of putting up hay runs
from 20 cents to 90 cents per load
We stack in the yards the fodder Sc
sured from about 100 acres of corn.
This corn, stacked ready for use costs
us from 1925 to $2.75 per load In the
day time the cattle run to straw stacks
IN the yards and are fed some corn fod-
der on the ground. As a rule we do
not aim to keep our grade cattle in
more than fair condition through the
winter but try on this style of care to
secure slight gain on the entire
bunch of twenty-five to fifty pounds
per head. The pure bred cattle are
tied up an given different feeding.
All the grade run loose in barns and
sheds and are ed according to age.
Every barn is cleaned and we'll bedded

and may not do so another yeaf. The
future looks good to us, however II
is conceded by all live stock authori-
ties that we are facing a cattle short
age that must result in high beef values
and that this condition must prevail
for a number of years and the full
effect is not yet apparent. Present
values are not TOO high and farmers are
entitled to receive present prices for
al meat products. even though it APP
pears to work a hardship on consumers.
The fact is, that we win never again
see values as low as they have been,
and consumers were misled in their
ideas Of correct. values or proper profits
they should allow to the producer.
