ONLY FOOLS FIGHT.
Arbitration Offers Most Economical
Way to Settle Disputes.

Take the chip off your shoulder.
One of the SureSt evidences that this
is time Of great progress is that we
are beginning to dig out with great
zest from the trunks in our garrets the
Old fashioned. dust covered principles
that used to keep us mighty happy be-
fore we began to get prosperous.
The package labeled "Arbitrate," for
instance.
The mennest human being likes to
pride himself on, his sense of fairness.
1t is IL fundamental and primitive prin.
cipe. 1t was not until somebody got
unjust and unfair that wars and fight
ers and disagrepments started 1t has
always been true that those who talk
ed it over" in the open soon had things
settled and all went back to work.
Arhitrare means to weigh and divide
that is. weigh the dispute and di-
vide the blame and then forget the
dispute.
Fools always fight. Wise people al
ways Hrbitrate Because to fight is to
waste. and to arbitrate is to save.
Sometimes it is money saved. some
times human beings, but always char
acter. whether the dispute is between
you or somebody else or between "A
dozen nations.
Arbitrate Always arbitrate. 1t al
ways pays to 0rbitrate.
Here's something important. Dis
putpS can never he without individual
consent. If every person concerned
if you refuse 10 fight, and the other
or others take your cue" ii has to be
-arhitrate. If people would only just
think before they became ready to dis
pute they would not dispute Try out
this suggestion Yourself

The system was suggested by Chief

THE LABOR MOVEMENT.
Eternal Vigilance Needed to Make u
Completely Successful.

Completely SUCCESSFUL.
There are Il number of things that
constitute the price of success in the
labor movement. all of which are sug
geSted by common sense and which
may be easily done. Among these is
the purchase of union made goods.
This may not i'll many cases directly
benefit you or your craft, and for that
reason many union people are not care
full about it. but ii never fails to help
the cause as IA whole and thus help all
indirectly. Another thing Of impor-
lance is the prompt and punctual at
tendance at union meetings. especially
meetings for the discussion of ques
tons affecting the interests of union
labor Men in other callings never fail
to attach great Importance to such
conferences, and as a result they reap
the rich reward The men who sue
coed in climbing up over our heads
never fail to keep in close touch with
politics. and they watch and endeavor
to influence all legislation bearing
upon their interests.
All union lnSlltutlOnS, eSpeclally tne
labor press. ought to be literally and
constantly sustained. Look at the
numbers. wealth and wide circulat ton
of the publications that are not friend
ly to the cause of labor. We spend
thousands. yes millions, to make them
rich and powerful. while we often fail
to pay the price to our own publica
lions. What can we expect of the
harvest?

but that plan has been abandoned.
Missionary work occupied most of the
sessions. With impressive ceremony,
Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse Eyster, of Thomas,
Okla, and Daniel o. Lenker, of San
Francisco, Cal, were ordained as for
eign missionaries, and they will leave
for the African missionary field later
this year. Mr.. and Mrs. Eyster are
native Pennsylvanians and have been
connected with the home missionary
department in oklahoma for some
years.
A source of qualification to the con-
ference was the reports from the Mes

four years ago in a dwelling at Har-
risburg, and which is now established
in it's own quarters at Grantham,
Cumberland county, with an institu-

grown from IL to 81 and great work is

How to Save
Your Eyes
Try This Free Prescription

Do your eyes give you trouble? Do
you already wear eyeglasses or spec
tacles? Thousands of people wear
these windows" who might easily dis
pense with them. You may be one of
these, and it is your duty to save your
eyes before it is too late. The eyes are
neglected more than any other organ
of the entire body. After you finish
your days work you sit down and rest
your muscles, but how about your
eyes? Do you rest them? You know
you do not. You read or do something
else that keeps your eyes busy; you
work your eyes until you go to bed.
That Is why so many have strained
eyes and finally other eye troubles that
Eyeglasses are merely crutches; they
never cure. This free prescription,
which has benefited the eyes of SO
many, may work equal wonders for
you. Use 1T short time. Would you
like your eye troubles to disappear as
If by. magic? Try this prescription.
Go to the nearest wideawake drug
store and get a bottle of Optona tab
lets; fill a two-ounce bottle with warm
water, drop in one tablet and allow 1t
to thoroughly dissolve. With this
liquid bathe the eyes two to four times
daily. Just note how quickly your eyes
clear up and how soon the infiamma-
tion will disappear. Don't be afraid to
use it; 1t is absolutely harmless. Many
who are now blind might have saved
their eyes, had they started to care for
them in time. This is a simple treat
ment, but. marvelously effective in null
titudes of cases. Now that you have
been warned don't delay a day, but do
what you can to save your eyes and
you live for publishing this prescrip-
ion.-Advertisement.
