MORE CHARTER
CHANGES PLANNED
List in Spring Election Win In
clude Proposal to Boost Alder

City hall politicians are pleased
with the vote on the charter amend
ments. The mayor would have liked
the voters to have adopted the amend
ment lengthening terms OF Office, but
is satisfied with the net results OF
the charter vote.
| The taxpayers refused to give the
amendment killing OF the board of
estimates q three-ffths vote, and ED
die Bolton, chairman of the board,
takes upon himself much Of the credit
for the. continued existence of the or-
ganixation. Bolton would like now
to increase the powers OF the board

been the leading politician on the
board OF estimates for years. Not
having outgrown the job of estimator.
at-large, Bolton would like to elevate
himself politically by elevating mis-
job. This amendment may be sub
mitted In the spring election.
The aldermen would also like TO
submit an amendment In the spring
doubling their salaries. The cornell
now has the power to give the mayor
a $4,000 salary increase and fatten
the pay envelopes Of other city Off
cials. The aldermen are wondering
IL they cant get in on the soft
stuff"
The amendment to separate muni-
cipal from state and national cleo
tons will probably be resubmitted in
the spring. IL was defeated in the
recent election because II was coupled
with one to increase the terms OF city
officers TO four years.

China's awakening is due largely 10
the efforts and teachings of the
Christian missionaries, Christian
hospitals, schools and mission sta
lions have done great work. DR..
Sun Vat Sen. the first president of
the Chinese republic, and many of
her foremost statesmen are Chris

Chinese by thousands are fiocking
to the missionaries to learn Chris
tian methods, and to hear about the
Christian God They are deserving
their idols and seeking for some
thing that will better meet the new
demands of their hearts.
To meet China with dreadnoughts
and standing armies is to court the
greatest war the world has ever
seen. To send her missionaries and
help her to meet and overcome her
problems is to win her gratitude

EXPLAINS AS TO WHY
FARM LABOR Is SCARCE

The editor of the Leader, talking
one day to Mr.. Newman, Kentucky
Commissioners of Agriculture, about
the various problems which confront
the modern farmer, and many incl
dental subjects as well, asked him
this question: why is farm labor
so scarce?"
The Commissioners answer was
both prompt and enlightening. The
difficulty" he said, lis not so much
with the scarcity of farm laborers
as il is with the conditions under
which thousands of farm hands are
asked to work. The old from sunup
until shutdown idea is no longer at
tractive to the average man. Men
do not want to get up and eat before
the dawn and labor on until il is too
dark to work in the open and then
devour their suppers by lamp light.
There are thousands of able-bodied
young men who would really prefer
to remain in the country. but they
can get about the same return for
their labor in nine or ten-hour
day. When there is readjustment
in farm life and farm finances, based
upon sane working day, the farmer,
as "A rule, will be able to get all the
help that he needs. and he will real
ly get about as much for his money
in shorter day as he now gets for
the long day, because the human
frame can accomplish so much, and
no more, in twenty-four hours. -
Lexington Leader.

and social position are like wrens
compared with these cocatoos OF the

Mrs. Burdette declared that com
merce is another arbiter of fashions.
Quoting a newspaper she said
For many years the great mass
of civilized humanity has been
clothed mainly in cotton. Outside
the Orient-which consumes its own
products per cent. of the total
production of cotton fabrics is from
raw material grown in the United
States Imagine. then. the feelings
of the cotton growers of the South
ern States when that mere tube of
cloth. the hobble skirt, came into
fashion. by that edict of the lead
ing modistes of Paris and London
the demand for raw cotton to be
manufactured into dress fabrics was
reduced by two-thirds, or possibly
three-fourths. The hobble was the
supreme effort of the French design
ers on behalf of the great French
manufacturers of silk goods, who
are their masters. For the less ma
terial required to make skirt the
greater number of women who can
and naturally will, wear silk instead
of cotton
The speaker gave especial empha-
sis to her next statement: THE
of such dictation causes
foolish women to eat their hearts
out with longings they cannot afford
to crafty; leads to unhappiness; the
of homes and the barter

Mrs. Burdette said that women
should determine for themselves

WHY NOT?
... BY Berton BraIey.
Why not waste little time,
Now and then?
Get away from grit and CRIME of your
work
For an hour or two-or ten?
It'll do you good to shirk
For space,
Do you good to slow your pace
And to hang around some place,
Doing nary thing at all,
Till you hear again the call,
Somewhere, way back in you knob,
To get back upon the job.
Why not waste a little time?
Though it really isn't waste.)
Rest your weary brain bit
From the daily fret and haste;
Just be useless for awhile;
Dream and browse,
Wander mid your books, and browse
In careless, aimlesS style,
With no sense or plan to it;
Spend a space on idle chatter,
Talk of things that do not matter,
Mix with Ghibbeline or Guelph,
Give to solemn things the wink
Till you, somehow, cease to think
Seriously of yourself.
When you've reached THAT point,
Why, then,
You'll be fit for work again,
Filter far to meet with men!
Life's not wholly grit and CRIME,
Not entirely sordid prose;
So, to find again its rhyme
Why not do what l propose?
Why not waste little time?
