PatrOnize the Home Man.
From the Church Newsl

Patronize the home man whether he
be merchant or miller, banker or bak-
er, a tiller of the soil or a teacher Of
the school. This is a popular slogan
and holds a truth that should belarge-
ly if not exclusively practiced in each
locality. Patronize the home indus
try, buy from the local merchant, give
your business to the local man, as
long as you can consistent with your
own and your neighbor's and your
commmity's interest. Most OF us
feel that this is the right thing to do
because these business men are our
neighbors and they together with us
are engaged in the work of building
our neighborhood and community.
They should have our patronage rath-
er than the far-off man who has little
or no interest in our town and COM
munity.
But let's see where this leads to.
Do you really believe in the principle
of home patronage What are the
home concerns that are to be patro-
nized? The bank, the store, the mill,
the newspaper, the Office, together
with the trades and professions of
local men, these are meant but are
they all? Does it not include the
idea of the home church? Is not the
church in the community home in
stitution? Is it not part ofour com
munity life? Does not the church
represent one of the interests of the
community? 1t feeds and builds up
the moral sentiment of the whole
community, 1t instils honesty and
integrity and soundneSs of character
into the community life as no other
public institution in the community.
And no not elements of character
mean anything to the business inter-
ests of the community? The church
is therefore a large business asset in
every community. 1t is the allyof all
right business in ever community.
What of the home man who does
not patronize this home interest? Is
he consistent who insists upon the
buy-at-home slogan but who substi-
tutes the reading of the weekly SER
mon in The Christian Herald for the
sermon preached by the local pastor
in the home church on Sunday Is
he buying athome who makes,this his
practice? Is he standing by the home
industry, the home interest, who thus
withholds his support from the one
public institution in the community
which stands as the friend and ally OF
every right business in the commdni-
ty? Does not the home patronage
principle include the patronage of the
home church?

A CITY MAIL DELIVERY FOR
HARRISON.
Official Notice Received that Service Will
Begin June lst

Official notice has been received by
Postmaster w. H. Watkins that city
deIivere for Harrison will be establish
ed June lSt after which date mail will
be delivered free on two extensive
routes covering the entire city.
Two regular and one substitute car
riers will be selected by competitive
examination, under civil service rules,
to be announced soon, and ten Mail
Posts with receiving boxes will be
placed at points convenient in princi-
+ pal sections.
Parcels post packages as well as all
other mail matter will be delivered by
the carriers to all parts of the city.
The regulations provide for the
maintenance of receiving boxes at all
residences and places of business; a
slot in the door will serve the purpose.
The regulations say, at must be
distinctly understood that no patron
will be served by carrier unless he
provide some means for the receipt of
his mail at or near the front door.
Carriers must not deliver mail at side
or rear doors of residences or above
the second floor of Office buildings not
provided with elevators.
Credit is due to Postmaster Wat
= kins for his persistency in asking for
this convenience for the city. Twice
he has been refused and the matter
: dismiored with adverse action, but he
has Ignored all discouragementS and
finally has succeeded in securing the
benefits in this line to which we are
entitled.
The Harrison times., 1916-05-06

The railroad companies haye made
much of the Safety First move
ment and then keep the crews on
duty until they are stupid from over
work. Remember dear public that
you are in just as much danger from
the tired and sleepy crew on the op-
posing train as though they were on
your own train, for it takes two
trains TO make a collision.
Railroad employees have tried for
years to get the hours of service re-
duced but were never able to do more
than to get a Federal law passed a
few years ago limiting the time on
duty to l6 continuous hours. The
intent of the law when enacted was
to make l6 hours the maximum day
but the railroad companies through
larger engines, longer and slower trains
have almost made it the minimum
day.
The companies have always recog-
nized the fact that the man who holds
the responsible position of train dis
patcher should not be required to work
more than 8 hours, yet the men on
the road who have to execute the
train dispatchers orders have to work
oftime Is hours, and there is a queS-
ton who bears the greater response
bility. Since the enactment of the
sixteen hour law the number of dis
astrouS wrecks has greatly lessened,
but the hours are yet altogether too
long and if our demands are granted
employees will become more efficient
through being fit for the service re-
quired and train operation will be-
come more safe in consequence.
We are asking nothing in paSsen-
ger service because their hours are
not long, which should be proof posi-
tive that it is better conditions rather
than more money that we are restriving
for.
Remember that all we ask is that
freight trains shall move at a speed
of y 13 miles per hour with penalty
of time and a half for overtime if
they fail to do so. Is our demands
unreasonable?
