the railroad, officials and the brother
hood officials by themselves.
This would be a most desirable So
luton of the big and perplexing prob
lem that not only confronts the rail-
roads and their employees. but also the
whole nation, and one that is to be
hoped for fervently.
After all, though. a federal inquiry
might be the best way out. as 1t
would set precedent that would have
a tendency to provide for permanent
peace between the railroads and their
employees through an adjustment by
public authority of all their future
differences in similar premises. And
if the machinery of the interstate COM
merce commission is not entirely ade-
quate to handle such matters. 1t could
readily be made so by congress.
As to the merits of the controversy
between the railroads and their engi-
neers, firemen,. conductors and train
men. it may perhaps be well to let the
facts speak for themselves.
Briefly stated, the men are demand
ing an eight-hour day, not only at
their present pay for ten-hour day,
including all the arbitrary extras that
they get in addition to the regular
wage schedule for ten-hour day. but
they also demand more in the form of
full time and one-half pay FOR ali the
overtime they might work in excess
CT the eighI-hour day.
This would mean material increases
in the pay, and of many of the engi-
neers and conductors in particular,
and who are now the highest paid
workers in the railroad service, ex-
cepting, of course, those railroad off
Gals in high executive and adininistra-
tive positions.
The railroads estimate that these
demands of the men would add full
500, 10000 to their yearly financial
burdens. and with no doors open to
them through which they could in
crease their revenues to meet these big
additional expenses.
During the recent conferences of the
railroad officials and the brotherhood
officials, the position assumed by the
former seemed to indicate that they
would be willing TO concede an eight
hour day, If the brctherhoods would
eliminate some of their arbitrary ex-
tras in the pay line and also reduce
| their overtime pay demands.
But the brotherhood officials could
see nothing to any compromise of
that sort. They continued their de-
nand for an eight-hour day with all
that they have in the pay line on their
| ten-hour days schedule, as well as
additional overtime pay to what they
orc now getting, on the side

He growed up in our neighborhood.
Some said he never went to school.
Was shockin' corn or cuttin' wood
Most always, but he want no fool.
He'd guess a hogs weigh to pound;
He knew which pumpkins made good pie
And on the worthless patch of ground
He coaxed my dad to sow some rye.
He ehewed tobaccy all his days,
And cleaned his boots off with a cob
Some people didn't like his ways,
But he was always on the job
He pitched more hay than any two
Who traded work in harvest time.
What needed doing he would do
In dry or wet, or dust or CRIME.
He did his chores by lantern dim,
And nearly never went to town.
The wages that were paid to him
Were boarded up and sailed down.
And when he married Tillie Strong.
And went to farmin' for her dad,
We couldn't hardly get along
A better hand nobody'd had.

It's more considerable of the weather

Frog-hunting is one of the fayorite

Sensation often appeals to more

The theory that the rich should
divide never originated with the rich.
Most people are in the manufac.ur-

make 1t.
Some men can't speak in public.
while some others find it so easy they
can't stop.
While a man may keep on drinking
as he grows older, he ceases to be
proud of the fact that he drinks.
You hear frequently of a word of
praise, but the condemnation is more
volubie, and one word is rarely
enough
1t is a sad truth that the young man
who is looking about doesn't care
whether a girl is a great help to her
mother or not.
No enterprising young man needs
any preliminary training in palmistry

s.They Think It's Funny.v
BY RUTH CAMERON.

"They Think It's Funny"
| One of my housemates was prepar-
ing to go to a reception the other
| evening.
| AS she gave her hair a final pat
and drew on her gloves she scolded,
It don't want to go at all. I'm tired
out, and I've got splendid book
want to read, and I hate receptions
why do you go?''
"Oh, 1 told Mrs. Martin and Mrs.
| Winthrop I would go with them
They can go with each other"
Eyes, but they'll think it funny If ]
don't" she said. And so she went.
Not because she wanted to; not be-
cause she was under any obligation to
| Git was public reception and it didn't
matter whether she went or nOt not
| because anyone would be inconven-
| fenced; but just because two women
| would think 1t funny if she didn't
And she had miserable time and
got SO completely tired out that she
had q sick headache the next day
But at least she had the satisfaction
of knowing that those two women
didn't think her funny.
| The amount of unhappiness we
cause ourselves and the amount of
happiness we lose because we defer
unnecessarily to other peoples feel
| ings is really appalling.
Another woman 1 know of had
made an engagement to attend club
tea with a group of her woman friends.
Two or three days beforehand her
| little boy came down with a light case
of measles and she telephoned to
break the engagement. Whereupon
they scolded her for being over-con-
scientious and said they should be
terribly upset If she didn't go. Finally
she yielded, leaving the child with a
nurse girl. He caught more cold, and
| has been sick ever since
She has been worried over the child
| and she has been tied down to the
house for over a month. But at least
she has the satisfaction of knowing
| that her friends weren't hurt.
It is foolish to be so pig-headed, so
sure of ones self, that one is never in
fluenced by what other people think,
but it is equally foolish to let other
people live ones life for one.
| You really know better than they
what is wise and what would bring
you happiness. You owe some consid-
GRAFTON to the happiness of others, but
you are not called upon to sacrifice
your happiness or your best interests
to the whins of others-{Copyrigh

True Purpose of Press.

The newspaper that is merely
the snapper-up of inconsiderate
trifles has no excuse for being. 1t
is a waste of the community's en-
ergy, and that of the editor.
The newspaper that stirs up dis
sension between individuals or
classes, that causes disrespect for
authority or religions, that wounds
without purpose, that never
plants a seed without desire of
bruising thorn, that panders to
personal prejudice, political prefer
ment. or financial gain. not only
has no excuse for being, but It's edi-
tor stands everlastingly a debtor to
society-to you and to me.
But the newspaper that strives
without wearying to unity the COM
munity's interest, to promote true
culture by broadening the h 3rlzon
of its readers, to stimulate the good
and repress the bad that so closely
lie in the sons of men. to arouse
a wholesome pride in those things
which make men and women and
children happier. in short, to make
each line spell service before an
other purpose-Ah. herein lies the
beginning but not the end of the
true vision of the newspaper

Happiness is generally a matter of

people are always ready to kindle a

the big stumbling block in the bring

that might be arranged if neither

reply to those who would mediate now

lonesome fly got in our house
One day not long ago;
The family armed itself at once
And started for the foe.
Potato Washers, frying pans
And baseball bats we got
And broomsticks, and we started in
With might and main to swat.
We smashed three plate glass mirrors,
And tore down the chandelier:
We broke a $40 vase
And wrecked the jardiniere.
It seems a shame to stop and think
What fathers got to buy;
We swatted everything we could,
But didn't swat the fly.
