WE DON'T WORK AT ALL.

Aroument Proves.

In Fact, We Have No Time to, as This
Argument Proves.
With the present agitation for an
ever increasingly short working day
comes the statistician who proves that
by rights the American workingman
should work only one day. Follow the
argument closely:
There are by common consent 1865
days in the year. Doctors agree that
man should devote one-third of his
time to sleep and one-third to recrea-
ton. Counting one-third Of a year as
approximately 122 days, We have 121
days left after taking out this allow
ance
Subtract from this the fifty-two Sun
days which are the workingman's
right, and we have sixty nine days left.
Saturday half holidays consume twen-
ty-six Of these, leaving forty-three.
One hour off for lunch on five days In
the week make 260 hours. or appron-.
mately twenty-five days. which leaves
our total working time twenty-one
days. But man is entitled to two
weeks vacation in the summer and the
six legal holidays afforded by the state.
making a total vacation time of twenty
days. Taking this from our working
time of twenty-one days, we have re-
mainder of one working day. - New

Slightly Inconsistent

The Republican indictment of Will
sons European policy is based on the
charge that it was lacking in firm
ness. If we had been prompt and
determined, we should have saved
Belgium from the horrors of inva-
sion, prevented the sinking of the
Lusitania and made Germany and all
other foreign powers observe the
rules of international law and the
principles of civilized war. If Mr.
Wilson's policy has given Germany a
free hand, why should the German
hyphenates be so dead against him?
On the face of it, it is just the sort
of weak" policy that should please
them. Yet they are supporting Mr..
Hughes. Which makes everybody
wonder whether the Wilson policys
strength is not the thing that sets
the hyphenates against it, and whe-
ther they do not expect a f1abbier
hand at the helm, if Mr.. Hughes
should be elected.-The Sun.

n1zed Saturday night, at 8 o'clock,
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Jasper
Stocker, near Thompson's Station,

The bride was dressed in embroid-
cred net, and carried a boquet of
roses and carnations. She was at
tended by Miss Marie Clementson.
Mr.. Jasper Stocker, Jr., was best
man. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. E. Dettbarn, pastor of I'M
manuel Evangelical Church, in the
parlor of the Stocker home, which
was adorned with flowers and ferns.
Following the ceremony a recep-
tion was given to the guests at the
wedding. Mr.. and Mrs. Boettcher
will make their future home in Bal

When the Utopia" of Sir Thomas

Queer Coronation Gifts,

One Of the most extraordinary gifts
made on the coronation day of Edward
/. was that of 500 horses which had
been used by the royal princes and
other personages in the procession to
Westminster abbey. These horses, all
richly caparisoned and harnessed just
as they were, were let loose into the
very midst of the mob after the BAN
quet in Westminster hall that always
succeeded coronation in those days.
The people il the streets were permit
ted to catch the animals, and to him
who caught horse it and its appoint
ments belonged. London Globe.

COMMUNITY CLUBS

Can any good thing come from a
neighborhood club? This question,
whether merely thought or spoken,
has probably cheated many a rural
community out Of its rightful en-
ioyments and profits.
Years ago il was the common, in
fact the usual, thing for a well-to-
do neighborhood to have club
which met every other week at the
home of some member, where an
evening of social enjoyment and
helpful discussion was INDUCED in.
It's hard to say why this custom III
recent years has become less gen.
eral.
A wise man has said, Get ac-
quainted with your neighbor, you
might like him."
The old custom. at these socials
was to have short program, deal
ing with community affairs, hui
morous paper, usually cracking
Jokes on different neighbors and, in
general. a getting-to-gether on all
ncighborhoOd matters. Old and
young enjoyed the evening to the
utmost. The next meeting was an
nounced to be held at the home of
another neighbor.
II is not to be assumed that these
meetings were perfect-in fact they
should in this generation be made
much more profitable. considering
our advantages.
While cities have slums where
conditions are bad mainly on account
of overcrowding, il is sadly true
that we have rural slums where
mental and social stagnation and
other bad conditions exist, mainly
on account of isolation.
Through the agency of commu-
nifty clubs social enjoyment is only
one of the multitude of benefits to
be derived. The prospective pur-
chaser of a farm often avoids GER
tain district simply for the fact
that the schools. churches, roads
and>social conditions are such that
he is unwilling to subject his FAM
lily TO the living conditions prevail
ing, and the fact is, we can't blame
him. The result is economic as
well as social stagnatiOn.
The College Of Agriculture will
lend help, as far as possible, to such
community clubs as request their
suggestions. County Agents also
will organize and help carry out
this work.
