Finds Much to Praise.

table. II you violate it you get into
the same difficulty that you would il
in your accounts you said three times
three EQUALS eleven. He says that
man who works twelve hours
works to the tune Of Old Hundred,
while an eight hour man steps to
the tune of Yankee Doodle. The
new manager knows that hopeless
man is an inefficient worker If a
man knows that there is no advance
ment ahead of him as time server
he says, whats the use?" The ola
time manager used to pay the
smallest wages for which he could
get men, the new employer pays all
he can and he gets infinitely better
results.
An Industrial Laboratory.
1.-THE Ford factory is the most re-
markable industrial laboratory In
the world. They try out any expert
ment; if they find it is foolish or
does not promote efficiency they
cast it aside. If it works well for
the men or the factory they adopt
it, They have their work graded in
eight grades. A man who begins at
the bottom, if he shows ability is
promoted. When he has passed the
eighth grade he is a candidate for
an executive position. They have
skilled teachers who teach the men
how to do their work in the best
way. .....
The new employer takes cogn1z-
ance of the man who stays with
him. A man who works for firm
for twenty or twenty-five years never
gets out of it anything common
surate with what he has put into the
business of his employer. To re-
ward these who have stood by, the
new employer allows his man share
in the business, whether small or
great depends on conditions. One
factory in Cincinnati has followed
this plan for thirty years and they
say It actually pays them In dollars
and cents.
Thousands OF men have been
made sharers in the business Of
their employers. They study the
business and it's best interests and
wo;k with a will because they, too,
share in it's profits and have reason
fer putting in their best efforts.
There are never labor troubles and
prcblems in such a factory. There
are twenty-five percent of the big
factories following this plan and 1t
pays them.
1.-THE old man is being considered,
too, by the new manager and he is
not kicked out. There are in this
country two hundred big establish
ments who will give convicts out Of
prison a chance to come up in the
world.
Modern towns have no room for
the old fashioned factory or the old
manager. The head Of
the chamber of comm cree in one OF
the big industrial cities told me they
offer no inducements for the factories
run on old lines to come to them.
Nobody wants strikes or labor
troubles or anarchy or a divided CON-
munity. e..
"This dam and power plant of
yours which is very real today, was
once only a vision. This harmony
between labor and capital, this spirit
of cooperation is coming to realiza-
ton because of the vision Of real
Industrial democracy, where every
man had voice and got returns
for his life work. May every en-
ploye have a vision, for When the
vision fails the people perish"

As City That Is GrolUi1g
Ralph Bolton Of Greater Des MONIES Committee Has Lots
of Good Things to Say About Us and
Not One Criticism.

The tire factory and smelters ars
lLsty infants and rapidly de-
veloping.
In our visit over the state
don't believe we found better
lighted street than the principal
business thoroughfare. 1t was
night when we arrived there and
/ am sorry that the party didn't
get to see much Of the natural
scenery and the beauty of the
river country that Keokuk Is
noted for"
Speaking of the things that
have tended to retard but not
keep down Keokuk's progress,
Bolton said: There have been
two things principally which held
Keokuk back for a time. In the
first, the city is like many others
on the river which suffered re.
lapse in healthy growth. 1t was
the passing of the lumber and
logging business and OF the saw
mills.
when the rising generation
found that it was natural hap
pening, REIMBURSEMENT begaa
and business to Offset the loss OF
the lumber industries was inst!-
tuted.
"The second thing is more In
.ha present day. When the
power dam was completed, the
1000 or 5000 workers who hal
built it departed as if over night.
keokuk hadn't steeled her heart
to met that condition and there
were disappintments.
Property valuations on bot
tom and other lands had been
written sky high. The realty
men and others kidded each
other with the thought that they
were going to make a barrel of
money. Water is beginning to
seek it's own level now. A new
era of prosperity and Of energy
s has begun.
For Bigger keokuk.
There was a time when Keo-
kuk was considered too near the
Missouri border line to catch the
Hawkeye booster spirit. That's
mistaken idea. While I'm
boosting Des Moines as hard as
l can, believe Keokuk is fitting
in for newer and bigger things.
Her surface appearances look it."
Bolton, by the way, didn't
know that the writer was origin
ally from Keokuk and his words
seemed doubly sweet because OF
the fact.

DES MONIES, Jan. 25.-What
impression did Keokuk make
Z upon members of the Greater
Iowa association when they visit
ed the city a few days ago?
Prepare for pleasant surprise.
It made the greatest impras sim
of any city in the state that the
organization in it's private train,
visited.
Ralph Bolton, secretary OF the
Greater Des Monies committee,
for one, says SO. Bolton is
classed among the big men OF
Des Moines. He has watched not
only Des Moines grow, but he
has watched other cities Of the
state grow and cease to grow as
well.
: The good things Bolton said
about Keokuk would look great
, In box car type flashed across
the front page of any news
paper. The bad things he said?
There were none!
"Keokuk is decidedly on the
upgrade" was his leading state
ment.
He spoke with unconcealed
enthusiasm about the Iowa hotel,
the lighting system OF Main,
street, the windows of the mer-
chants, the railroad facilities and
the cereal mills.
Not only that, but he spoke of
the keen, alert class of business
men he came IN contact with,
there. He mentioned the names
of Rich, Mcfarland, Kiedaisch.
Fulton and half dozen otnerS
that he could think of.
When one considers the hard
fight that Keokuk has had in all
her history for growth and at
tainment, the more credit should
be given her for the civic and
commercial accomplishments that
are apparent on every hand"
was Bottoms comment.
Three years ago when WIS.,
tied the city, Keokuk was not as
wide awake. They had just fin
ished building the dam.
Finds Much to Praise.
.This time l find merchants
have learned better how to deco
rate their store windows; to
make them attractive. The Iowa
hotel would do credit to a city
much larger. The splendid plant
/. Of the Purity Oats company and
of the J.. c. Hubinger Brothers
company are the envy OF cities
many times the size or heoKuk.

Attitude is Taken.


"They used to say that labor is a
commodity and that the only right
an employee has was to quit if he
didn't like his job. Nowadays
recognition of human rights enters
into the plan. Labor is a personal
possession Of the man: 1t is the
means by which he finds himself and
through it he expresses himself to
the world. Down at that wonderful
power house in the river below us,
every law Of electricity is taken into
account and the power plant is run
| IN accordance with those laws, be-
cause the manager knows If he dis
regards them ruin will follow. Exact
qy in the same way the laws of
human rights should be recognized,
and man must labor in accordance
| with the laws of his nature or ruin
follows. The new manager is study
ing the man, his physical condition
and the environment which surrounds
him. The result of this theory has
reformed the factory itself. A few
wears ago a factory was built to
, place machinery, now it is built for
the men who operate those machines.
It is not fad, but means to efti-
cheney. The slogan safety first
has saved ennumerable lives and
the new slogan Health for every
man. is a great means Of prevention
of disease. Think what it would
mean il every man went to his work
with a serse Of we'll being. This
new manager provides for physical
examination and remedy for physl-
cal defects promotes efficiency in the
men. This personal interest has re-
acted on other problems; it has
shortened hours. Under the old order
the hour problem was settled 6y
force; the employer had the theory
that the longer the hours the greater
the output, now they know that the
reverse is true. The new manager
by scientific experiment has found
that shorter hours bring greater re-
suits.
"In a factory in southern Illinois
the manager is called Golden Rule
Howard. He says that the golden
rule works like the multiplication
