DEMAND is FOR SERVICE
Public Ideas Have Had Sisnifican
Change In Comparatively
Few Years.

When the French aristocrat before
the great revolution was asked as tc
his chief service to society, he replied,
ITO have been born" He felt that his
mere presence in the world conferred
an honor on his country.
That has been the attitude Of privi
legged classes of all time. But new
ideal has come into mems minds-the
ideal of labor, of service to the com
munity Today the public is constant
ly asking men to justify their income
What have you done to deserve it?' is
the question. by what service to so
ciety have you earned your money!"
1t used to be considered perfectly
proper to water the stock of great pub
lie service corporations. But now peo
pie have come to see this means to
get an income without working for it
and public sentiment is shutting ofl
the practice.
Melon cutting in connection with
franchise grabs was once popular. But
it became apparent that this was mere
ly one way of getting something fol
nothing, and the day of melon cutting
is done.
So, all up and down the line the de
mand has come for service in return
for income. Society is willing to write
its note for pretty nearly any amount
to the energetic man, but it insists that
tho nayment shall no for yolup ra,

LABOR TROuDLEOLD BUSY DAYS COMING
Period of Stress Ahead of the
American Worker.
Labor Day an Excellent Time TO-
Think of the Future That Must
Be the Result Of the War
in europe.

Every American, whether he works
with his hands or with his head, will
take full advantage of Labor day, the
last of the summer holidays; every
one will appreciate the fact that there
is long period of work ahead of him.
This fall and winter is sure to be
time of readjustment in many lines
of American commerce and labor, due
to the European war, which not only
shuts off some Of the things we buy,
but is filling our warehouses with
many of the things we sell. How to.
manage without the particular things
we have always imported and how to
get market for the things Europe
cannot buy must engage our serious
attention for months, perhaps for
years. There may be some failures in
the effort to readjust, but there will
be more successes, and great ones.
The best thing about the whole sit-
uation Is the stout heart of the busi-
ness world and the people in general
They enter upon combat with un,
certainties with the old Yankee con,
fidence. backed by the knowledge that
in the fundamental items of physical
life we are safe. We can feed our
selves, clothe ourselves. warm our
selve. The rest is only a matter OF
time and adjustment. There will be
no hard times If the hard work is
well tackled.
Business must not wait until the
war is over" for nobody knows wheI
that blessed day will be. If we are
prepared for long war. so much the
more prosperity IL the war is brief.
1t is a splendid time for every
American. from the housewife to the
capitalist, to study American econo
mics and get better knowledge OF
values.

half mythical beings that peopled the
fanciful days of your childhood when
you lived within the pages of romance
and the tales of wonder from the East
captivated you.
But the trail does not stop there
with the heroes of the tales that came
to barbarian Europe just before mod
ern life dawned, when the Marco Po-
los boldly penetrated past the gates
to the East. The dust of the city of
Trebizond, which lies thick dates back
beyond the Crusaders. The brides of
their horses jingled, the armor of the
warriors of the Cross ratified within
this same city of Trebizond there on
the Black sea.

and you are hopelessly lost in a list
of meaningless names. Absorb it as a

zond is of enhancing interest.
The earliest navigators, the Phoe-
nicians, piled the Black sea and did
carrying trade for the caravans from
the East. Then Britain was but a
wild place, inhabited by savages,
where the low, black ships of the
Phoenicians got tin from the mines
to trade at Trebizond for the jewels
Of India and China. Britain we con-
slider old, with it's ruins, about which
cling the story of the Roman soldiers.
But this was even before Rome en-
tered the world stage. 1t was when
Hiram of Tyre was bringing cedar
for Solomon to build his temple. It
was when Joseph was the wheat king
of Egypt and before then, even. 1t
was-heaven knows when it was.

years ago, was flippant youth when

Bound the West to the East.
The dust of Trebizond was tracked
there by countless caravans of pa

the slender thread of trail that for
centuries bound together the East
and West-the West vigorous in its
crude barbarity. ornamenting itself
