interdependent are mill depart
ments that this change affected
ALL the operatives.
Notice of the cut was posted as
required by law, but, up to the
first pay day under the new
schedule, no notice of curtailed
wage was given. Neither did the
great mills plan to reduce their
output. Machines were driven
so many more throws of the shut

Machines can stand the strain
of speeding up when well cared
for, but workers wear out when
their wage and food are cut
down.
The old 56-hour wage could
have been paid for the new 81
hours work out of the saving
made in power, light and heat.

HOW DO YOU SPEND SUNDAY?

Some time ago a boy made applica-
ton for position, to one of Birming.
hams business men, He told him he
lived at East Lake. The man asked
him whom did he know at East Lake,
and how he came to know them, and
when the boy told him he met them at
Sunday School he was given work
without further inquiry. How one
spends Sunday is an index to his char
acter. Every applicant to the Bank OF
England is presented with list of u
questions. The first on the list is
"How do you spend Sunday" The

HOW TO BUILD UP
OR TEAR DOWN
THIS COMMUNITY
BY j. o. LEWIS.
THE FARMER AND THE
MERCHANT.

There can be no doubt that the pros
perity of the countryside entire peo-
ple-is based on the quantity of pro-
duce raised on the farms, and no other
one thing so seriously aaffects the bus
mess interests of the country as gen
eraI crop failure. If the crops are gen
orally good throughout the country
and happen to be failure in one par
ticular locality the merchants are not
dependent on the home farmer, but
can have his goods produce, etc., ship
ped in from other sections and thus
supply the demand of his customers,
while, on the other hand, the farmer
is always dependent on his home mer-
chants-the town or city which is his
marketing place-and the home banks
for the handling and disposition of his
products.
The merchant never buys his pro.
duce, hay and grain from outside when
he can get them from the farmer, but
that the farmer is given largely to the
practice of ordering many of his needs
from stores in other cities, more par,
ticularly the large mail order houses,
is a well known fact.
Not a day passes that goods OF al
most every description, from soaps to
farm implements, including gasoline
engines, manure spreaders, seed plant
ers, cream separators, cooking stoves
and ranges, clothing, groceries and
what not, are seen in our depots anC

ers
Mr. Farmer, do you think it right tc

and sell it to the merchants of YOU

he pays you and send it to some mai

could buy just as cheaply at home al

You may say, "Oh, well, | sold m.

but he doesn't handle clothing!" Yes
but, my farmer friend, if the clothin!
