The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1916-10-31
PROGRESSIVE LEADERSHIP

In announcing an eight-hOur day
for the employees of a shipbuilding
company at Portland, Ore, the
president of the concern, who dis
claims allegiance to any political
party, credits Mr.. Wilson with hav-
ing furnished the inspiration for
the voluntary action Of the corpO-
ration. This change, he says, "was
brought about by President Wilson's
action in the railroad case" That
the eight-hour movement in gen.
eral industry has received a decid
ed and perceptible impetus from
Mr.. Wilson's Endorsement of the
principle involved has been evident
during the last few weeks. There
have recently been other notable
cases, as in the clothing trades of
Chicago, of the unsolicited cOnces-
sion of the eight hour day by en-
ployers. Henry Ford, who has been
an enthusiastic believer in the work
day of shorter hours on account of
the excellent results observed in
his automobile factories, declares
that if Mr.. Wilson never does an
other thing for the workers che will
always have the honor of having
begun a movement that may revolt
tionize working conditions" for the
better.
However, the settlement of the
railroad strike by congress may be
criticized by the more conserva-
tive minded, nothing could be surer
than President Wilson's future rank
as one of the great progressives of
his time by reason of his powerful
stroke in support Of the eighthour
movement in industry. The effects
will be lasting and incalculable.
That the wage earners in innumer-
able occupations will the sooner be
advantaged by shorter hours, with
something more to live for aside
from toll, because of the plain
spoken and unterrifed declaration
of the president that the eight hour
day has "the sanction Of society,""
must be apparent to all who labor
for wages.
In identifying the Democratic
party with this movement, Mr.. Viii
son performed a genuine feat of
constructive, progressive leadership.
The cause of 100 per cent. progress
siyeism has been signally promoted
in this country by the Democratic
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1916-10-31

The "high cost of living" is high
enough to scare any one but a mil
Eonaire, and it is doubly so when
waste and extravaganza prevails in
the kitchen. The cost of bite
wasted is not much in itself alone,
but multiplied many fold it becomes
a serious matter.

AN AGED WOMAN
Tells How Vinol Made Her Strong

In her eighty-second year Mrs. John
Wickersham, of Russellville, >Pa., says:
Il was in rundown, feeble condition
and had lost flesh. A neighbor asked
me TO try Vinol and after taking two
bottles my strength returned; | am
gaining in flesh, it has built up my
health and am feeling fine for a
woman OF my age, SO ! get around and
do my housework."
The reason Vinol was SO succsssfui
in Mrs. Wiekersham's case was be-
cause il contains the very elements
needed to build her up.

After Quarter of Century
Mother Finds Daughter

BEDFORD. Ind. March 29.-Mrs. John
Whitman, after a search of more than
twenty-four years. has found her
daughter who, she alleges. was taken
from her. Mrs. whitman left recently
for Hannibal. Mo-, where the daughter,
Mrs. Laura Brooks, lives. Thirty years
ago Mrs. Whitman was Mrs. William
II. Turner, She and her husband lived
at Mitchell She obtained a divorce
from her husband when the daughter
was four years old. One day the father,
so Mrs. Whitman says, asked permis-
sion to take the child downtown, and
the mother has not seen her since.
Mrs. Sara Brooks, OF Hannibal Mo-,
wrote letter to persons living In
Oolitic. telling OF her family and making
inquiries. In this way Mrs. Whitman
was put in communication with her
daughter. A conversation over the long
distance telephone established the re-
Ia tionship.
