GIRL EXPLAINS WHY THE FAIR is FIRING SO
MANY EMPLOYEES

Before he died, L. E. Lehman, own
er of the Fair department store, added
clause to his will ordering the trus-
tees of his will to give all the clerks
employed by him for a year or more
an annual Christmas present of So.
Diligence was doubled and clerks,
who before had called their employer
second "Serouge," began to feel
proud of the fact that they worked
for such a benevolent concern.
Hundreds of girls employed at the
munifcent sum of 81 per week and
a two-cent commission on every dol
lars worth of goods sold began to
speculate what Christmas presents
they were going to purchase with
that S., which looked so big to them.
Two weeks ago the demeanor of
some floor walkers changed toward
some clerks. They became harsh and
exacting, found fault at the slightest
proYocation and old rules depriVing
the clerks of many privileges were
brought out, busted and enforced.
The clerks are paid their regular
wage of 81 on Tuesday and on Fri
day their commissions are reckened
up and given them. Sometimes it
reaches 81.
On Tuesdays and Fridays of this
month girls have been told that their
services we're no longer needed. They
then knew why so many new girls |
had been taken OIL when there was
no apparent need for more help. |
These girls: stepped into their jobs,
practically at the same pay, but they |
were not entitled to Christmas pres
ent. -
OF course, many of the girls have |
obtained positions in other depart
ment stores during the rush of the |
Christmas shopping season. The 9TH
er stores, however, do not give Christ
mas presents. Women, who had
worked -or rather slaved-for the in

for their excellent work were dis
charged for folding up their counter
too early or leaving it, in an untidy
condition when they could not help. it
because they were waiting on GUS
toners. The pretext used to get rid
of them was to order them trans
ferred to some department in which,
twas known, they would not work.
In a letter written to The Day
Book a little girl says: 81 have to
work for. living, so please do not
publish my name, because if it was
printed i would be blacklisted all
along State street and then would
never be able to get job"
Last year a very small proportion
of the employees received this So pres
ent. It was not because they had
not worked for the store year, but
because they were discharged before
they had the chance to remain there
year.
Under this new system of economy
the various faYors, privileges and
raises held up before the, eyes of the
girl clerks as inducements for them
to remain in the, employ of the diff
ferent stores become hopeless goals
to the girls who are discharged from
one store only to go to the next until
they have made ''the circle of State
street" so many times that they be-
come old and useless and are cast
aside for the new girls in the game.

THE COTTON SITUATION

THE COTTON SITUATION
Washington, Oct. 9.-At a special
meeting yesterday the House bank
ing committee tabled the Henry bill
for $5OO,000,OOO loan by the govern
ment on the South's cotton crop.
A scathing arraignment by inneun-
do of cotton states congressman now
crying for federal aid to the cotton
planters was made by Sen. Bank
head of Alabama. Bankhead prOpOs-
ed that the individual cotton states
should solve the problem by issuing
bonds and buying half the crop of
each individual farmer.
Every senator and congressman
in Washington, said Bankhead,
who knows anything about the stu
alton and is candid enough to admit
it realizes that no law can be passed
at this time for the government to
buy cotton or loan money direct to
the farmers. I think it wicked to hold
out any false hopes to our people"

VICTOR MURDOCH THE
RED INSURGENT

Will appear on the High School
Lecture Course on Friday evening,
Nov. 27.
To Victor Murdock more than to
any man is due the present progress
sive movement. 1t was he that brought
about the elimination of Cannon and
the revision of the Rules of the House
of Representatives He is a progress
sive but not radical; and he is what
he is because he believes in progress
and justice, not because he is hero
worshipper. During his four terms in
the House he has made for himself
a place as real leader of men and
even of statesmen. The gift of ton
CUES is his but with it he associates
that rare quality in orators, sinceri-
ty and strong common sense. He is
strong, hopeful, effective and full of
sentiment but altogether practical as
well. For three years he has been
big success in the Lyceum and the
people of Wauseon have an opportuni-
ty to hear great man. The reserve

1t is lawful and right to strive, but nc
man shall wear the crown of approval
unless he strives fairly. Being able
to endure one another is a precious

is a lesson learned with patient per-
servance. Nevertheless, we must
learn it at all hazards, because we are
told on all hands, and, indeed, we
know it full well, that it is perfectly
amazing how easy it is for us to be
unjust in our judgments. In the main,
our judgments are formed and gov
erned by splinters. 1t might be a
splinter of a deed or splinter of a
word. Very seldom the whole of any
mans character is taken into con-
sideration. This sort of thing has
murdered its thousands, and if the
truth we have heard, the savage rep
tile is even at large in these bright
days of The Twentieth Century! Was
not the Boston sage correct when he
said that if we should take time to
consider our relation to one another
that we could not be so unfair as we
are? To be workers that need not
to be ashamed is to be fair in all our
dealings, deeds and judgments. To
be otherwise is to be selfish, and sell
fishness shall never be awarded with
a conquest.

THE VALUE OF TRAVEL.

To the information and inspiration
of travel, civilization owes much. His
tory is full of instances. In 1881, a
country boy made a trip down the
Mississippi on a fiat boat. When he
reached New Orleans, he and his
companions started on a sightseeing
tour of the citr
They visited slave market and
witnessed a slave auction. A young
girl was on the block. The brutal
words of the auctioneer, the avarice
of the bidcers, the haunted, hopeless
eyes of that girl filled the soul Of the
country boy with horror and indigna-
ton. Turning to his companion he
said: Boys, if | ever get a chance
to hit slavery, by the help of God,
will hit it hard"
Thirty-one years later the chance
came, the oath was kept, and to four
million men, women and children.
Abraham Lincoln restored liberty.
When was the seed Of ernancipa-
tion planted? The impressions made
by the things which that country boy
saw and heard on that trip down the
Mississippi in 1881 proved the seed
from which developed the liberation
of millions and the restoration of the
Union.
Many homes and many communi-
ties, in years to come will reap bene-
fit from the impressions made by the
things seen and heard upon these
Buckeye Corn Special Tours.

and is shown to the accompaniment
of explanatory lectures and choice
music from powerful talking ma
chine. The first part traces creation
to the Deluge, its causes, and on to
the time of Abraham. The second
part begins with Melchisedec and des-
cribes the experiences of the IsareI-
ties down to. the Babylonian captivity.
Part three gives the life of Christ,
His boyhood, baptism, ministery, suf-
ferlng, resurrection and glorifcation.
The fourth part illustrates the gradual
completion of creation from the close
of the Jewish Age through the Dark
Ages down to the present time and on
into the future.
1t is story of the greatest human
interest. The subjects chosen for
treatment are the great events of
Bible history. They deal with the
elemental passions of mankind. and
taken from the profoundest book the
world has seen, touch a deeper note
than anything else the motion picture
has produced. The Bible is thus seen
in a new light, and its incidents as
sumo a reality which is not always
conveyed by the written word.
The theory underlying the whole
story is that each of the seven days
composing the creative week was an
epoch seven thousand years in length,
which makes the full week of crea-
tion equivalent to $4,000 years; that
man appeared toward the close of the
sixth epoch; that we are now living in
the seventh day; and that as 5000
years have passed since the creation
of Adam, the Millennium, which is to
close the seventh epoch, is near at
hand.4 It is with this last "day' of
1000 years that the pictures mainly
deal: however, the gradual transfor-
nation of the earth is traced from a
gaseous confusion to a proper condi-
ton to support human life; and then
follows the old story of the fall of
man, with all it's consequent miseries,
hopes, joys and fears.

STATE PROHIBITION
Ohio The First State To Cast Over
Half Million Votes for Prohibi-
tion Campaign For State Wide Pro-
hibition to Continue through the
Winter.

The action of the Trustees of the
Ohio Anti-Saloon League in declaring
for statewide Prohibition campaign
next year will be followed at once by
activities on the part of county or
ganizations. Plans will be formulat-
ed for beginning the educational cam
paign and for reaching the last vot-
er in every precinct. There will be
no let up in this work throughout the
winter.
Ohio is the first state to- cast more
than a half million votes for Prohi-
bition. In the recent election II of
the 80 counties cast majorities for
the abolition of the liquor traffic. In
cluded in this number are 29 counties
now wet. These wet counties voting
dry are Allen, Clarke, Columbiana,
Coshocton, Crawford, Darke, Def
ance, Fairfield, Huron, Henry, Hook
ing, Lawrence, Jefferson Licking, Lor-
ain, Marion, Mahoning, Mercer, Musk
ingum, Perry, Pickaway, Putnam,
Richland, Ross, Stark, Summit, Tus-
carawas, Washington and Wyandot.
Summit county in which Akron is
located gave more than 1000 majori-
ty for Prohibition, while the city of
Akron went dry by nearly 500 ma
jority. This is the largest city in the
state for Prohibition. Akron has a
population of nearly $4,000, and the
voting dry of such centers of popula-
tion as Akron, Lima, ) Marion, and
other cities, makes the victory Of the
liquor men look like defeat.
Every effort will be made by the
attorneys for the Anti Saloon League
to bring about recount of the votes
in Cincinnati, Cleveland, and other
places where Irregularities are alleg-
ed. It is evident the state is great
ly in need of further legislation to
insure fair elections, and such laws
will be asked for this winter.
More than 1000 churches and dry
campaign committees urged bringing
another Prohibition campaign next
year, while several thousand letters
from individuals were received by
Anti-Saloon League officials within
the week following the election. The
requests were for election next yeal
because there will be neither a state
or national campaign in 1915.
The brewers Home Rule amend
ment was pulled through by about g.
900 majority in total vote of 1,100,-
900, and carried by 8 of the SO coun-
ties. It was the overwhelming vote
of Cincinnati which fastened this
amendment on, the state and which is
responsible for opening saloons in 4(
counties now dry.

as new an expression of popular i'm
patience TO have some one start

Neither is playing ball for a living a
strictly modern invention. In fact
thousands of years ago, way down in
Yucatan, impatient crowds sat around
in ball parks. yelled themselves hoarse,
beat one another in the back, and threw
their feather head-gear into the arena
in the enthusiasm of the moment, just
as We are doing today. Also there
doubtless were Ty CObbs whose skill
in batting and Fielding" was such
that they could afford to hold up the
management occasionally for a few
more hundred jaguar skins year by
threats to quit professional ball and go
to farming.
of course the game was not exactly
base ball. But the point is that it was
a ball game, that there We're regular
ball parks-or courts-and that there
were professionals who played the game

Mayhap the medium of exchange took
the form of jaguar skins, pounds of Ca
Gao, fancy feathers, or what not, but
it was money all the same, and they
could buy with it at the club, or in
the market place as the case might be.
They had their peculiar systems of
slang, too, at least in some parts of
the Americas. which translated into
English means about as much to us as
ours would to them; all of which is
brought out by Mr.. Franklin Adams in
his story indigenous Games in Latin
America" in the July number Of the
Monthly Bulletin Of the Pan American
Union. Washington, D. c. That the
ball game is an ancient institution in
