The Farmer and His Sons
BY Harry Crow

There was once a farmer who had
several sons that were always quarrel
ing among themselves. Now this griev-
ed the farmer very much so one day he
called his sons to him and gave them
a bundle of sticks and told them to
break them. They each tried but could
not Then the farmer took the bundle
and united it and gave each a stick
which they broke with ease. The farmer
said so it is with all your energy when
you hate and quarrel you are easily
beaten. In union there is strength.
This is my school composition.

Doing Only Duty Not Enough.

The organization, corporation or indi-
vidual who is satisfied when duty is
performed usually comes up lacking. It
is highly essential that ambition should
be to accomplish even more than duty.
If your eyes see something undone in
another department. even if it is not
your duty, it will place you in posi-
tion to command the respect and salary
far in excess to the person who works
and sees nothing else, even though he
passes it daily and is not alive TO the
opportunities and responsibilities which
are his for the grasping. The man who
is beginning TO think and act for him
self is genius. Let's study this prop
osition early in life; it will very mate.
rally enhance our value as citizens and
as business men in the community in
which we live. With every man work
should be genuine pleasure. It is life.
and incidentally we get ont of it accord.
ing TO the amount of energy and deter
mination we put in it. A man without
responsibility is usually of worthless
class and cares not. neither does he en-
deavor to improve his time or talents.

Dalrymple's clean-cut Evidence.

James Dalrymple. chief mine inspec-
tor OF Colorado, in his evidence before
the congressional committee investigat-
ing the strike OF coal miners in that
state fully corroborated statements we
have often made that non union mines
show a far greater percentage OF acci-
dents resulting in deaths and injuries
than do the mines where the men are
organized. In passing we wish to ex-
press our appreciation OF this honest,
brave official. We realize that Mr. Dal-
rymple knew he would incur the dis
pleasure of the powerful interests that
WELD so great a political influence:
knew that he jeopardized his position "a
mine inspector. He elected to be true
to himself and to the men whose safety
he is trusted to attempt to conserve
We appreciate his worth the more on

tray their trust; choose the easier way:

LABOR PAPER AS AN ADVER-

thorough investigation on this sub

"A labor paper is a far better adj
vertising medium than an ordinary
newspaper in comparison with circu-

having 1000 subscribers, ID of more
value to the business man who ad.
