VACATIONS FOR WORK PEOPLE

VACATIONS FOR WORK PEOPLE
The newspapers annually at this
time contain articles eloquently urg.
ing their readers to adopt the prac.
tice of regular holiday. They repeat
the old maxim, which is not without
much truth, to the effect that "The
man who never takes a vacation, takes
one all the time"
And meanwhile the two largest in.
dustrial classes of this country, the
farmers, and the factory and mill
workers, have as a general thing no
regular vacation habit. In the latter
case, the literal obedience to these ed.
itorial preachments would be equiva.
lent to handing in their permanent
resignation.
No doubt one reason why men break
down so early in our manufacturing
industries is the lack OF adequate rest
times. No human being can work
fifty-two weeks in year without suf.
fering some physical decline. At 60
years Of age the great majority OF our
business and professional men are put
ting in their best licks. But how few
men Of 60 you find in the machine
shop and the mill!

Senator Cummins says the United
States has almost ceased to be an ex.
porter of farm products. The federal
bureau of statistics says that our ex'
ports last year amounted to 1856, ,000,
600. There is quite wide discrep.
ancy between these statements. The
senator should see that the federal
bureau is more careful about it's state
ments in future.

The new Mexican government is
said to be more or less embarrassed
by the presence of Uncle Sans troops
on the line fence. 1t Is reported that
the present chief executive Is desir-
Gus of thinning out the socialists and
any others not in sympathy with his
administration, with powder and ball,
in Lower California and several other
Mexican states, and he Is not sure
whether such a course would be sane
toned by our government, hence he
wishes it's representatives to at least
turn their backs while he shoots those
who are plotting against his life.
Since the turmoil has been largely
transferred into the interior, where 1t
affects the United States and other
countries less, the troops will prob
ably be removed at a not distant date.
There seems little use in trying to
guard the line until permanent peace
is established, unless the army Is to
go into permanent quarters there, for
the earthquake that shook Mexico
City upon the entrance of Gen. Ma
dero seems symbolical of the chaotic
conditions existing in his country. If
the Mexicans will fight it out among
themselves. without injuring the lives
or property of other countries, they
may as well be allowed to do it. They
have hardly been educated up to the
arbitration idea. 1t will take several
generations to teach a Mexican to re-
spect anything but gun.

There is every promise of record
breaking apple crop this year, but
probably the fruit trust will only han

to consuming markets to be indepen-
dent of the trust.

A peaceful and contented mind goes
long way toward making life endur-
able, but mere endurance of ills will
in time become more irksome than
the frank acknowledgement of posi-

to get somewhere, either backward or
forward, and not to sit still in the
same spot and suffer.

Is little short of criminal.
