The Importance of the roadwork

to heed. The railways can expedite
their freight service and continue with
their present terminals if they really
wish to do so. In some few cases
there may be couple of hours over
time.
When an engineer has drawn a
check for $263 and conductor a
check for $247 for months work,
the railway may call attention to this,
but neglect to say that these men
worked Is hours and 25 minues ev-
cry day in the month and secured
most of their sleep in a box car "ca-
boose" out along the line. Later,
when these men lay off to recuperate,
their big check must, of course, dwin-
die, and soon these men are broken
down and are dumped on the "scrap
heap with the other old machinery,
and may be taken in by some kindly
relative or perhaps find room in some
distant "home" maintained by the EN-.
ployes' organizations. Thus they con-
clude their days-these soldiers of the
great transportation army, these men
who have safely transported count
less numbers of passengers and end
less trains of freight. Though the
engines and cars become larger and
yet larger, and though the trains be-
come even longer, and though the
hours of service become more intense
ly fierce, the railway employe still
measures up to his work.
In the great railway yards the
switchman whose tired feet strike the
engine "footboard" or the cinders all
day, or night, or the man in the "cab"
who pulls and throws the levers back
and forth all day or night, working
among countless and conflicting sig
mails and endless danger and in every
condition of weather-these are the
true soldiers of industry. These men
should not need to ask for better con-
ditions. Better conditions should
have been given them years ago.
Twelve hours, or more, is their pres
ent day or night, when eight hours
should be their limit.
The fostering by some railways of
various unfair conditions, and their
usual opposition 10 all suggestions to-
wards improvement ana Inelr COIL
plaint about unfair regulations has
provoked a reproof from one of the
most conservative of our public men.
In speech before the New York Traf-
fic Club on February 21, eX-President
Taft reproved the railways for their
misdeeds and their opposition to the
laws of the land and to reform. He
accused them of corrrupting councils
and legislatures and defying the in
terstate commerce commission and be-
ing generally unreasonable, and then
warned them of possible government
ownership. The general public will
give this conservative speaker seri-
ous consideration. The employees
may well feel they have able men up
on their side.
President Wilson has said that the
workers have a right to say under
what conditions they will work. The
railway employees merely ask that the
public approve their effort for
reasonable condition.

UNUSUAL INTEREST
IN BOYS CORN CLUBS
Being Shown by Putnam
County's Coming
Farmers.

l.. Cantrell, the Putnam County
Farm Demonstration, and representa-
tive here of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, says that unusual inter-
est Is being manifested by the boys
OF the Putnam county in the Corn
Club work.
In his report recently made to the
y. S. Department of Agriculture, Mr.
Cantrell says in part:
Though the county has never be-
fore maintained the services of an
agricultural expert, whose duties are
to advise and instruct the farmers of
the county in farm progress, as well
as take the lead in the introduction
OF new ideas, yet l find among the
farmers, as whole, an earnest and
eager desire to take advantage of the
opportunities that are now offered
them More especially is this true
with the boys Of our county. Grant
ing that this particular phase of nv
work is not entirely new to them,
yet they have never before had the
work presented to them in suffi-
cient and explicit manner such as TO
materially impress them into action.
Consequently, upon visiting the boys
personally, and explaining to them the
objects of the corn club work, and it's
merits from scientific point of view,
l find that they are more than an
Xlous to enlist into this great army
of young field workers.
"ln view of the fact that I have
only been in the area short while,
and for that reason have not had time
to make a thorough canvass of the
county, l am however, glad 20 lie abla
to report up to date the organization
of eight corn clubs with a total en-
rollment of sixty boys. This state
ment itself bears witness of the in
terest the boys are taking in better
farming and better agriculture for
Putnam county.

proper encouragement upon the part

Christian Endeavor in April.

| Our annual convention in DeLand
April 20-23rd, is almost here. It is
to be longer in duration than any such
program for long while and is to be
good all through, fittingly ending on
Easter with spirit of hope and thank
fulness beftting that precious ami
versary for Christians.
Jacksonville expects to have large
delegation, several included are from
the Springfield Presbyterian fellow
ship, led by their president, Miss Nell
Steele. 1t is anticipated that there
will be a better showing from the
Jacksonville City Union than at any
Z. q. convention for several years.
Tampa United Brethren folks have
a paid" delegate, and their president,
State Treasurer Cavanagh, and Mrs.
Earl Cavanagh, State Quiet Hour su-
perlntendent, are among those to well
represent United Brethrens and Tam
pa.
Miss pleasant Wyandt is the spe-
cial delegate from Lake Magdalene.
Many friends will regret to learn,
as we did from news in The Lees
burg Commercial, that DR.. W. R.
Newell, of the Winter Bible School of
Leesburg, is seriously ill in some san
ltarlum of Atlanta. Mrs. Newell and
sons meanwhile are wintering as
usual at their beautiful home near
Leesburg. DR.. Newell has lived a
most strenuous life and now must
"rest awhile"
Pomona Endeavorers are always
up to something" and recently
fine reception in honor of their de-
parting pastor and wife, Rev. and
Mrs. White, was great success. 1t
was held at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
II. A. Perry. And when a new min
lister comes they will be ready to well
come warmly for it always expected
that in Pomona the C. E. Society al
ways does pleasant things.
Mr.. Karl Lehman, soon to be guest
at. DeLand, writes that Florida has
gone away past it's goal for 100 paid
up subscriptions for "Dixie Endeav-
orer, thereby excelling any other state
in this way so far.
The Press secretary missed sending
any news last week but it was not in,
tentional. That made the third time
since April. 1st, 1915, that the weekly
news letters were not sent out. The
press department is doing finely.
The convention theme for DeLand
is, More of Christ in me to win the |
soul nearest me-" Miss Ruth Coffin. |
State secretary, has been faithfully |
completing the excellent program af- |
ter its outline was made some months |
ago by Mr.. Lehman and State Presi. |
dent Curry. Its going to be too good |
to miss.
Next Sunday is the last one before
we meet in DeLand, and there we
commence the new year of Christian
Endeavor in the White Union of Flor.
ida. In February 1888 was organ
lied the State Union at a convention
in Ocala, but a few societies already
existed. This seems good while
